DiveLog Tutorial - Cannot resolve Symbol

I am having a problem with the DiveLog Tutorial getting the basic code to compile. This is sepcifically on Solaris 2.8 with Java 1.3.1.
I have entered all of the code from Part 1, and have removed all of the syntax errors. (More on this later). I run the Javac command, as directed in the tutorial for Solaris, and I get 6 errors - one for each of the 6 subroutines called - for example it can't resolve "Resources.class". Now thre is a Resources.java, but the javac step will not copmpile. it. So I ran the javac command against Resources.java, and it compiled cleanly, and created the Resources.class file. I reran the javac against DiveLog.java, but it still cannot resolve Resoources.class. All of these files are in the same directory.
Just to be sure, I downloaded the sample code, and tried to compile it. Same problem. I then downloaded a copy of the DiveLog application that will compile under Windows. Same problem.
From what I can see, the compiler does not seem to be looking in the directory the command is executed from to resolve any references. In otherwords - my current working directory is divelog; it contains 7 java files needed for this tutorial. Initially, there was no default classpath set; so i have tried various combinations of CLASSPATH statements, including setting the source directory and the regular classpath. Nothing seems to work.
Anyone have a suggestion on what's wrong here? All of the entries in the forum that I have found relate to WIndows, and not Solaris.
Thanks in advance.

From what I can see, the compiler does not seem to be
looking in the directory the command is executed from
to resolve any references. To find classes, javac uses the fully qualified class name and searches through the Classpath directories. I know almost nothing about Solaris, but this functionality is the same for all Java platforms, to my knowledge.
Fully qualified means the package name plus the class name. If you have followed the tutorial, you should have these .java files in a directory named divelog and you should have "package divelog;" at the start of each source code file. So, javac is looking for a directory named divelog that contains files with the classes in them.
It might be a simple fix to "cd .." and compile from the directory that contains the divelog directory. Then, assuming the Classpath includes the current directory, javac will look in the current directory for a directory named divelog that contains your .class or .java files.
Otherwise, you need to get the directory 'above' divelog in your Classpath.

  • Cannot resolve symbol - DiveLog

    I feel my self a little bit stupid, but I will ask.
    When I try DiveLog.java sample in "New to Java" section,
    I am getting ".. cannot resolve symbol" for Welcome and
    other classes. I have this files in divelog
    directory and compiled by javac. What should I check else.
    Thank you very much in advance.

    Yes I studied a few tutorial and run some
    simple codes. I looked also package. But
    I am missing something here.
    And I have enough experience in
    OO technology. this is way I am feeling
    myself stupid.
    Any way thank you very much
    natakan
    You should do some other tutorial first. DiveLog is
    too advanced for you at this point.
    Try starting from
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/index.html
    Feel free to skip parts you already know but pay
    attention when it discusses "packages".

  • Cannot resolve symbol dropdown1 from the tutorial

    Has anyone a clue to why javac won't compile the button action. I looks like it can't find the dropdown1 droplist despite the fact that it is visible in the gui editor.
    here is my offending code:
    String name=(String)dropdown1.getValue();
    And the error code:
    untitled\Page1.java [76] cannot resolve symbol
    symbol : variable dropdown1
    location: class untitled.Page1
    String name=(String)dropdown1.getValue();

    Sounds like a bug.
    I'm sure the engineering team would love to have some more info on this. Can you file a bug here:
    http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/bugreport.jsp
    From my experience, they are taken very seriously and if it's already filed and has workaround, it'll be sent to you.
    For sending the source code, I'm simply meant pasting it into the message box (using eventually  formatting (see "code" button).
    thanks,

  • Another DiveLog can't resolve symbol error

    I am using NetBeans to go through the DiveLog tutorial, which I have first typed, then cut/pasted in (hence I've not included it here). On compilation I get the following error:
    divelog/DiveLog.java [41:1] cannot resolve symbol
    symbol : method addTab (java.lang.String,<nulltype>,divelog.Welcome,java.lang.String)
    location: class javax.swing.JTabbedPane
    tabbedPane.addTab("Welcome",
    ^
    1 error
    Errors compiling divelog (->).
    The rest of the line looks like this:
    tabbedPane.addTab("Welcome",
         null,
         new Welcome(),
         "Welcome to the Dive Log");
    (Note that I have cut out all the other tabs, just to focus the mind)
    As I am sure you expect if I set the component parameter to null (rather than new Welcome()) it compiles just fine.
    I have read the troubleshooting tips on the tutorial, and understand that I am not compiling the whole package, but as far as I know I am! I highlight the package and compile all, I have compiled the project, and both with the same result. I have also read many, many newsgroup entries on the same subject and I have been trying all the various solutions for the last two days.
    I note that whilst the others have an error that points to Welcome, the error message I get is on the symbol addTab.
    I get the same error if I javac it too. (from the Divelog directory I typed javac -classpath d:\java\myjava\ DiveLog.java, and also tried setting a CLASSPATH environmental variable)
    I have my path (environmental variable) set to: d:\java\j2sdk_nb\j2sdk1.4.2\bin
    I have also set CLASSPATH to d:\java\myJava
    Please remember the pain of newbie!
    Thanks, Myles
    PS I am working in Windows XP

    The compiler is saying that in the JTabbedPane class, there is no method that takes a String, a null, a divelog.Welcome, and another String as parameters. I am guessing that in the divelog.Welcome class source code, you are missing something like the bolded text below.
    public class Welcome extends JPanel
    I'm making this guess because the JTabbedPane needs a Component for the third argument. If you still can't make sense of this, post the page of the tutorial so we can look at it.

  • Class error - cannot resolve symbol "MyDocumentListener"

    Hello,

    There is no way to be able to see MyDocumentListener class in the way you wrote. The reason is because MyDocumentListener class inside the constructor itself. MyDocumentListener class is an inner class, not suppose to be inside a constructor or a method. What you need to do is simple thing, just move it from inside the constructor and place it between two methods.
    that's all folks

  • Javac compiler Error - cannot resolve symbol - symbol  StringBuilder?

    Hi ,
    I am using hp - ux system with java version "1.4.2.06". when i try to compile a program called CharSequenceDemo.java which is found in the java tutorials at this link
    [CharSequenceDemo.java|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/IandI/examples/CharSequenceDemo.java]

    Please help on how to compile this program.

    I've been struggling with the same issue. The difference is that my system says I'm using version 1.6.0_05. I've tried running jucheck.exe. It tells me I've got the latest version installed.
    Here is the code:
    import java.lang.StringBuilder;

           formatter.format("Pi is approximately " + format +
             ", and e is about " + format, Math.PI, Math.E);

    The compiler refuses to recognize the symbols StringBuilder and Formatter.
    I have spent hours googling for an answer and trying every suggestion. Nothing works, not even the one about dropping the computer from the rooftop.
    Ultimately, what I'm trying to accomplish (in a different program) is to use a text file as a form letter template and replace the %s placeholders with stings from my form object.
    Any advice?

  • Visual Studio 2012 cannot resolve symbol or Errors control is not a member of class

    Visual Studio 2012 Web Site Project (Note not a Web application, so there are not Designer.vb files) > Site works perfectly fine and using IIS and attaching to IIS to debug code.
    However, if I try to build the site inside of Visual Studio I am getting lots of Errors ‘pnlName’ is not a member of ‘Page_Name’ In the code behind I am getting errors ‘Cannot resolve symbol ‘pnlName’
    .ascx Page
    <li style="margin-right:0;" id="pnlName" runat="server"><a href="/cart" title="Checkout" class="global-checkout">Checkout</a></li>
    .ascx.vb page
    Me.pnlName.Attributes.Remove("style")
    I have cleaned, rebuild and nothing gets rid of these errors, but again the site works as designed, but I would like to launch and debug inside of Visual Studio.

    Cor,
    What I am stating is this is a solution using the Web Site Project instead of a
    Web Application Project.
    Web Site projects do not require Designer.vb files, Web Application Projects add Designer.vb files in the solution.   
    Background: I have been hired to support a very successful e-commerce site that was built by a 3rd party vendor (I had no input on the contract or specification, because I would have went with
    MVC).  The site works 100% correctly, however from my 2003 - 2015 experience with Visual Studio and Web Development being in Web Forms and MVC I have always built ASP.NET Solutions using the Web Application Project Templates, which compiles the code down
    to .dlls.  
    A Web Site project does not compile the code, but simply uses the .vb files and they have to be migrated to the server with the .aspx files. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd547590%28v=vs.110%29.aspx
    Currently the only way I can debug this Solution is to attach to the w3wp.exe process running locally on my work station. 
    The Solution is comprised of two Web Sites, which I cannot get it to compile because of the following errors -
     'webServerControlName' is not a member of '(Protected Code Behind Class Name)'  I am reaching out to the MSDN community to see if anyone has experienced this issue with
    Web Site Projects.
    I hope that clears up the Project Type question.

  • Getting error message Cannot Resolve Symbol when trying to compile a class

    Hello All -

    I am using Sun JDK Version 1.3.0_02" and Apache/Tomcat 4.0. Both the calling and the called class are in the same directory.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Is ConnectionPool in this "cal" package as well as PooledConnection? From the directory you are compiling from it appears that it is. If it is, then you are compiling it incorrectly. To compile ConnectionPool (and PooledConnection similarly), you must change the current directory to the one that contains cal and type
    javac cal/ConnectionPool.

  • Missing method body and cannot resolve symbol

    I keep getting these two errors when trying to compile. I know that I need to call my fibonacci and factorial functions from the main function. Is this why I am getting the missing method body error? How do I correct this?
    Am I getting the cannot resolve symbol because I have to set the num and fact to equal something?
    Thanks
    public class Firstassignment
    public static void main(String[]args)
         System.out.println();
    public static void fibonacci(String[]args);
         int even=1;
         int odd=1;
         while (odd<=100);
         System.out.println(even);
         int temp = even;
         even = odd;
         odd = odd + temp;
    public static void factorial (String[]args);
         for (int count=1;
         count<=num;
         count++);
         fact = fact * count;
         outputbox.printLine("Factorial of" + num + "is" + fact);

    Hey... :o)
    the problem is that you've put semicolons at the end of the function signature, like this:
    public static void fibonacci(String[]args);
    }that should happen only when the function is abstract... so ur function should actually look like this:
    public static void fibonacci(String[]args)
    }also, i think you've missed out on the declarations (like what are fact and num??)....

  • Cannot resolve symbol: class OracleDriver

    Jeffrey

    Enter this code into your program and then put the Oracle jar file that contains the driver in your run-time classpath.
    try {
      Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
      catch(ClassNotFoundException cnfe) {
      // driver not found
    }The effect of this is that the classloader will load the Oracle driver for you then call it's static initiailizer that does a bunch of magic that results in the Java runtime knowing that there's a JDBC driver out there.
    It is a little weird - but that's the way it works.
