Error compiling EJB.jar  + cannot resolve symbol+while deploying

I am getting following
Error compiling EJB.jar , cannot resolve symbol ,Syntax error in source, am getting around 17 errors while deploying EAR generated using Jdev905 into standalone oc4jContainers(10g).
Can anyone please help me out where is the problem.
Regards,

cannot resolve symbol ,Syntax error in source
indicates some jar file is not in the Classpath. Is j2ee.jar in the Classpath?

  • Import javax.ejb.EJBHome; cannot resolve symbol

    Hi i wonder if anyone can help me. I have read alot of the posts regarding this issue and have tried everything to do with the paths and environmental variables and even reinstalled everything.
    import javax.ejb.EJBHome; cannot resolve symbol
    This is the problem i keep getting and here are the paths that i set:
    SET PATH=c:\j2sdkee1.3\bin;c:\jdk1.3.1_01\bin;c:\jakarta-ant-1.3\bin
    SET ANT_HOME=c:\jakarta-ant-1.3
    SET JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk1.3.1_01
    SET J2EE_HOME=c:\j2sdkee1.3
    SET CLASSPATH=c:\j2sdkee1.3\lib\j2ee.jar;c:\jakarta-ant-1.3\lib\ant.jar;c:\jdk1.3.1_01\lib\tools.jar
    What am i doing wrong???

    Im not sure, everything looks ok to me, but here is what i tried:
    I wrote this little test class, and compiled it
    import javax.ejb.EJBHome;
    public class test
    public test()
    I got the same error you did (or similar)
    D:\>javac test.java
    test.java:1: package javax.ejb does not exist
    import javax.ejb.EJBHome;
    ^
    1 error
    then I added the j2ee.jar to my classpath and everything worked fine.
    here are my env vars:
    JAVA_HOME=d:\dev\jdk
    J2EE_HOME=d:\dev\j2sdkee
    CLASSPATH=...;%J2EE_HOME%\lib\j2ee.jar
    If I were you I would double check all the paths you have set up then try a simple case like the one above. If your running NT/2000 make sure the JAVA_HOME, J2EE_HOME and CLASSPATH are system variables not user variables. Another thing you can try is adding the j2ee.jar to the classpath with the -classpath compiler switch.
    javac -classpath %CLASSPATH%;d:\dev\j2sdkee\lib\j2ee.jar test.java
    Other than those things I'm not sure
    Good Luck

    looks like your xml file(ejb-jar.xml) is missing some required tag element or
    the elements are out of
    order. the format is specified in a dtd, you should take a look at the dtd for
    ejb-jar.xml. for wl5.1, try looking under c:\weblogic for ejb-jar.dtd

  • Cannot resolve symbol error when compiling a class that calls another class

    I've read all the other messages that include "cannot resolve symbol", but no luck. I've got a small app - 3 classes all in the same package. BlackjackDAO and Player compile OK, but BlackjackServlet throws the "cannot resolve symbol" (please see pertinent code below)...
    I've tried lots: ant and javac compiling, upgrading my version of tomcat, upgrading my version of jdk/jre, making sure my servlet.jar is being seen by the compiler (at least as far as I can see from the -verbose feedback)...any help would be GREAT! Thanks in advance...

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

    Hello All -
    I am getting an error message cannot resolve symbol while trying to compile a java class that calls another java class in the same package. The called class compiles fine, but the calling class generates

    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.
    tnx..

    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.

  • "Cannot resolve symbol" error when importing a package

    I'm new to Java and have been trying to make use of a toolikt which uses an imported package. Basically my problem is that I've been trying to compile a file called CookBook.java which contains the following import statements at the top of the file:
    package gate;
    import java.util.*;
    import java.net.*;
    import java.io.*;
    import junit.framework.*;
    import gate.*;
    import gate.util.*;
    import gate.creole.*;
    import gate.creole.nerc.*;
    I then compile this using the following command line:
    /cygdrive/c/jdk1.3.1_01/bin/javac.exe      \
         -classpath "C:\cygwin\home\stevens1\gate_src\gate\build\gate.jar" \
         -extdirs "C:\cygwin\home\stevens1\gate_src\gate\lib\ext"     \
         -d . CookBook.java
    (The extdirs command is required, acording to the manual, because the toolkit is implemented as two files for security reasons: gate.jar and guk.jar) These two flags should point to all the .jar files required by the application.
    However, that command produces the following errors:
    CookBook.java:140: cannot resolve symbol
    symbol : method assertTrue (java.lang.String,boolean)
    location: class gate.CookBook
    assertTrue(
    ^
    CookBook.java:146: cannot resolve symbol
    symbol : variable GateConstants
    location: class gate.CookBook
    GateConstants.ORIGINAL_MARKUPS_ANNOT_SET_NAME);
    ^
    CookBook.java:152: cannot resolve symbol
    symbol : method assertTrue (java.lang.String,boolean)
    location: class gate.CookBook
    assertTrue(
    ^
    One thing I've not been clear on is whether the files (CookBook.java) need to be in a directory with a special name. I've tried playing about with different ones but without much success.
    Any suggestions to help a completely confused Java rookie would really be apreciated!
    thanks in advance
    mark

    I then compile this using the following command line:
    /cygdrive/c/jdk1.3.1_01/bin/javac.exe \
    -classpath "C:\cygwin\home\stevens\gate_src\gate\build\gate.jar" \
    -extdirs "C:\cygwin\home\stevens1\gate_src\gate\lib\ext" \
    -d . CookBook.javaThere are a couple of issues with your compile...
    Most notably, by setting the classpath to your build jar, you are compiling against old classes. If you set your classpath rather to the base of your package hierarchy, then javac will to some degree review and recompile dependencies, against your current source files. If you specify a target directory with -d, class files will be examined in this location if they aren't in the class path (And their source file is not in the compile-path)
    Also, if you are compiling packages, I've found a good practice to be to compile from the base of the package structure, so your command will be more likejavac \
    -classpath . \
    -extdirs "C:\cygwin\home\stevens1\gate_src\gate\lib\ext" \
    gate\\CookBook.javaIt seems to make it easier for the compiler to 'correctly' look up dependencies.
    Hope that helps, at least a little,
    -Troy

  • Error when activating - "cannot resolve symbol"

    Hi everybody!
    I created a WebDynpro DC referencing some other DC's, one of them containing some generated Enterprise Connector classes.
    A local build works fine, the WebDynpro looks and works as expected when deployed to our J2EE server. When I activate the associated activities, all DC except the WebDynpro DC compile o.k., but the WebDynpro compilation throws some "cannot resolve symbol" errors, the symbols being the generated classes from the Enterprise Connector DC.
    The Activation Log of this component shows that only one class of this DC is being compiled and packed into the public parts of the DC:

    Any hint on what produces such an error or what information you'd need so say something ?
    Thanks!

    After messing around a bit, we finally deleted both assembly and compilation public parts of all the referenced DC's, created new ones and reestablished the references exactly as defined previously, and now it works properly. Strange thing, though...

    Two things I want to know:
    1. I was trying to access a variable as JLabel
    myLabel; defined in the constructor of a class from
    the constructor of another class. I got this error
    message - "Cannot access non-static variable from a
    static context". Why(When both are non-static am I
    getting the message as static context)?Post some code. It's hard to pinpoint a syntax error like that without seeing the code.
    Also, there may be cleaner ways of doing what you want without having classes sharing labels.
    2. I am using a map to set the attributes of a font.
    One of the key-value pair of the map is
    TextAttributesHashMap.put(TextAttribute.FOREGROUND,Colo
    .BLUE);
    But when I using the statement g.drawString("First
    line of the address", 40, 200); the text being
    displayed is in black and not blue. Why?You need to use the drawString that takes an AttributedCharacterIterator:
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.font.*;
    import java.text.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class Example  extends JPanel {
        public static void main(String[] args)  {
            JFrame f = new JFrame("Example");
            f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
            Container cp = f.getContentPane();
            cp.add(new Example());
            f.setSize(400,300);
            f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
            f.setVisible(true);
        protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
            super.paintComponent(g);
            String text = "Every good boy does fine always";
            AttributedString as = new AttributedString(text);
            as.addAttribute(TextAttribute.FAMILY, "Lucida Bright");
            as.addAttribute(TextAttribute.SIZE, new Float(16));
            as.addAttribute(TextAttribute.FOREGROUND, Color.BLUE, 0, 5);
            as.addAttribute(TextAttribute.FOREGROUND, Color.GREEN, 6, 10);
            as.addAttribute(TextAttribute.FOREGROUND, Color.RED, 11, 14);
            as.addAttribute(TextAttribute.FOREGROUND, Color.YELLOW, 15, 19);
            as.addAttribute(TextAttribute.FOREGROUND, Color.MAGENTA, 20, 24);
            as.addAttribute(TextAttribute.FOREGROUND, Color.CYAN, 25, 31);
            g.drawString(as.getIterator(), 10, 20);

  • Cannot resolve symbol readShort

    Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong.
    I am trying to read a binary file in which the elements are stored in
    16 bit integers.
    When compiling, I get the error
    create2.java:34: cannot resolve symbol
    symbol : method readShort (short)
    location: class java.io.FileInputStream
    while ((len = fromFile.readShort(buffer)) != -1)
    Thanks

    import java.io.FileInputStream.*;
    import java.lang.String.*;
    public class create2

    Thanks, that worked.
    I added to the code

    while ((i = fromFile2.readShort()) != -1)

  • Cannot resolve symbol Scanner

    Hi all,
    i am using the Scanner class, while compiling i got an error cannot resolve the symbol Scanner. i checked my j.dk version also and it's 1.6
    syntax:
    File file = new File(fileName);
    Scanner scanner = new Scanner(file);
    error:

    any help is appreciated.

    i have already imported that class.
    C:\Testing\junk\src>javac -d ..\classes forums\java\sun\Test.java
    forums\java\sun\Test.java:14: cannot find symbol
    symbol  : class Scanner

            Scanner tester = new Scanner(System.in);
            ^This is the error I got without the import statement. Notice that it is eeriely similar to the error you received.
    Adding the above import fixed my problem. Make sure you are saving the file before trying to compile it, and that you are not compiling an older version.

    EDIT: well, that would do it also!

  • Cannot Resolve Symbol  netscape.javascript.JSObject

    I am trying to communicate fom an applet to a javascript. I am usinjg jdk1.3.1 and did an import netscape.javascript.JSObject; in my applet class.
    When I compile I get cannot resolve symbol JSObject. The import does not seem to work.
    Do I have to download the package from somewhere and put it in the jdk1.3.1 dir in some place?
    Thanks

    Ive netscape 7.1 and the JSDK 1.4.2. The Java40.Jar doesnt seem to be present in my netscape folder anywhere so I assume that it isnt included in the newest version of netscape.
    I tried using the javaws.jar that came with my JSDK but it didnt work. I opened it up and searched it and saw no mention of a JSObject file.
    Im a little confused at this point. Where can I look up the location of the JSObject?

  • "cannot resolve symbol" help..

    Here is a very short and simpel program that won't compile after I reinstalled java on my computer.
    import java.lang.Math.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    public class PiTest extends Frame {
         public static void main(String[] p){
         System.out.println("testing MATHs");
         System.out.println(""+sin(10));
    I get the following error:
    PiTest.java:8: cannot resolve symbol
    symbol : method sin (int)
    location: class PiTest
    System.out.println(""+sin(10));
    ^
    [total 1553ms]
    1 error
    Why doesn't the compiler recognise the sine function? I have set my classpath to c:\j2sdk1.4.1_01\lib.
    I don't know what I'm doing wrong...

    Replace sin(10) with Math.sin(10), it should work.
    import java.lang.Math.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    public class PiTest extends Frame {
    public static void main(String[] p){
    System.out.println("testing MATHs");

    cannot resolve symbol
    symbol : method drawString (java.lang.String,int,int,int)
    This is telling you that you are trying to invoke the drawString() method with 4 parameters: String, int, int, int
    If you look at the API the drawString() method need 3 parameters: String, int, int - so you have an extra int
    location: class java.awt.Graphics
    g.drawString ("draw3DRect", x, y, + rectHeight + 25);
    Now is you look at your code you will find that you have 3 ',' in you method call. (I don't think you want the ',' after the y.

  • Why do I get a "cannot resolve symbol"

    Hi all,
    whenever I run my program it always gives me this error :
    Mortgage5.java:14: cannot resolve symbol
    symbol : class Loan
    location: class Mortgage5
    Loan theLoan;
    ^
    This program will work in Win 98 and XP but on my other machine running Windows 2000 will not work.
    My Mortgage5 class is actually creating an object of another class called Loan which is perfectly fine in other Windows OS but not my 2000, why is that so? I am really puzzled.

    Hi Kusek,
    here is my code that works on other OS but not 2000.
    import java.text.*;
    public class Mortgage5

              Loan theLoan;
              Customer theCust = new Customer();
              NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance();
              theName = Console.readString("Customer Name : ");

              theYears = Console.readInt ("The number of theYears:");
              if (loanType.equals("V")) {
              theLoan = new VariableLoan(thePrincipal, theRate, theYears, theCust);
              theLoan.setPrincipal(thePrincipal);
                   theLoan.setRate(theRate);
              theLoan.setYears(theYears);
              else {
