Find all redefined implementations of abstract method

Hi folks,
always the same: I have an interface defining methods with interface parameters. Then I have 1..n inherited classes. If I change the methods parameters in the interface, I have to apply changes to all implementations.
Also, having a methods name, I want to see all inherited implementations. Is there any way more convenient than poke manually through the object tree?
Regards,
Clemens

Yes, it is easy: Right-click in the class interface, choose inheritance relations (Shift-F9).
Too bad I can't reward points for the solution..

Reg. oops...implementation of abstract method in se24...have ur ponts..

Hi all,
In SE24 i made an abstract class & made a method abstract successfully.
Now i made another class that inherited my abstract class, it is showing my abstract method there.
Now when i want to give implementation to that method, but when i double click on that system is showing "method is abstract & has not yet redefined".
Pleas let me know..how i implement it..
Thanx in advance..
Have ur point.s

Hi
Inheritance Inheritance defines the implementation relationship between classes, in which one class (the subclass) shares the structure and the behavior defined in one or more other classes (superclasses). Note: ABAP Objects only allows single inheritance.
Inheritance is a relationship, in which one class (the subclass) inherits all the main characteristics of another class (the superclass). The subclass can also add new components (attributes, methods, and so on) and replace inherited methods with its own implementations.
Single Inheritance
ABAP Objects only has single inheritance.
A class may only have one direct superclass, but it can have more than one direct subclass. The empty class OBJECT is the root node of every inheritance tree in ABAP Objects.
Relationship between Superclasses and Subclasses
Common components only exists in the superclass
 new components in the supercalss are automatically available in subclass
 amount of new coding is reduced ( programing by difference)
Subclass are extremely dependent on superclases
 white box reuse subclass must possess detailed knowledge of the implementation of the superclass
Inheritance: Syntax
 Normally the only other entry required for subclasses is what has changed in relation to the direct superclass. Only additions are permitted in ABAP Objects, that is, in a subclass you can "never take something away from a superclass". All components from the superclass are automatically present in the subclass.
Class name defination.
 public section.
 methods. First name importing some type some type
 returning value(value) type some type.
 private section
 data : make type string..
Endclass.
Class name1 definition inheriting name
public section
 method. : get returning value ( value) type get.
Priavte section.
 data : max type some type
endclass
 Redefining methods
The REDEFINITION statement for the inherited method must be in the same SECTION as the definition of the original method.
If you redefine a method, you do not need to enter its interface again in the subclass, but only the name of the method.
In the case of redefined methods, changing the interface (overloading) is not permitted; exception: Overloading is possible with the constructor.
Within the redefined method, you can access components of the direct superclass using the SUPER reference.
The pseudo-reference super can only be used in redefined methods.

Urgent!! How to find all applications implemented on portal?

Hi all,
i am implementing a new portal, my requirement is i have my current portal running and have many applications and components implemented on it, i want to reflect all these on my new portal, so is there any method available so that i can search/find which all components/objects are there on my portal??Any help on this will be valuable,
Regards,
Ameya

You can see all the components in system information... provided by system as well as ur own ..
Another way is .. loggin on to VA .. check Deploy service.
In this u can see all the components... custom as well as system provided.
But u cant see iviews and all ... u can see iViews in system information only.
I dont know if u can see a list of KM docs in a way u like to .. but to make sure u have all the docs on the other server .. u can use WebDav URL and copy all the docuemtns. If u have done any modifications to KM interface or defined any metadata for documents then you will have to use ICE .. content exchange tool to trasport everything...
Please be elaborate in ur requirement.. and one suggestion ... If you sit and compare evey component ... it might take ages to ensure both systems are same
Normally we transport everything from one portal to another ... and KM is ICEd
Cheers!!

Find all unchecked exceptions thrown by method?

Dear all,
I am writing critical code that must be correct. Thus, I wish to know that I have not overlooked any important unchecked exceptions. I am aware that the distinction between unchecked and checked exceptions is controversial, and I know the difference between these types of exceptions.
I would like to see for each function a list of all possible exceptions a method can throw. Preferably I would like a tool to do this for me, but I would write something myself if there is a reasonably simple way to do it.
More precisely, I would like to be able to define the set of "unchecked" exceptions myself, e.g., I would put down NullPointerException as "unchecked", but I would let IOException be checked (in my particular application, not in general). In general, this would however be a very nice language feature that could perhaps be a compromise in the (un)checked exceptions-controversy. Each programmer could define an "unchecked"-filter. Perhaps it would best be viewed as a kind of lint.
In any case, I have not found any tool, and it seems I can not do it myself with reflection, since it only gives access to declared exceptions, i.e., if the JDK-programmer decided not to put IOException in the signature of a method, then reflection can not see that the method may throw such an exception.
Does anybody know how to do this?

Douglas1024 wrote:
Thank you for your time, but I am well aware how one uses exceptions in normal code.
From an abstract point of view exceptions are simply a form of outputs from a method. Thus, if the goal is to write correct and easily verifiable code, in contrast to the vast majority of code that simply works reasonably, it is quite meaningful to know exactly what kinds of exceptions are thrown by a method and when.
Please note my correction regarding IOException.Millions upon millions of lines of correct code have been written following these standard java exception principles. The notion that you can write "better" code by detailing every single unchecked exception that could possibly be thrown is ludicrous. In fact by handling unchecked exceptions you will in all likelihood do more harm than good, hence why they are unchecked in the first place.

Getting error while creating abstract method

hi folks,
i facing issue for ABSTRACT Class.
I am trying to create abstarct method, (refered example from saptechnical site),
I created one attribute i-num, created one method AREA, in implementation area , i made it as Abstract, then i did syntax check, then it is giving below error.
*Class ZTEST_CLASS01_AB,Method AREA
The abstract method "AREA" can only be implemented after its
redefinition (METHODS AREA REDEFINITION).*
i tried all the ways..
created subclass for this, i writted some code in AREA of Sub-class, there it is giving dump, because first one is not activated properly..
could you please somebody help me on this.

Hello Arshad,
Create a class(ZABSTRACT) and make its type as Abstract( Which means atleast one of its methods is abstract)
We can have abstract classes with all it's methods as non-abstract or concrete. A small example is given below:
CLASS gcl_abstract DEFINITION ABSTRACT.
PUBLIC SECTION.
    METHODS concrete. "Concrete
ENDCLASS.                    "gcl_abstract DEFINITION
*       CLASS gcl_abstract IMPLEMENTATION
CLASS gcl_abstract IMPLEMENTATION.
METHOD concrete.
    WRITE: / `I'm a concrete method`.
ENDMETHOD.                    "concrete
ENDCLASS.                    "gcl_abstract IMPLEMENTATION
*       CLASS gcl_abstract_sub DEFINITION
CLASS gcl_abstract_sub DEFINITION INHERITING FROM gcl_abstract.
PUBLIC SECTION.
    METHODS concrete REDEFINITION.
ENDCLASS.                    "gcl_abstract_sub DEFINITION
*       CLASS gcl_abstract_sub IMPLEMENTATION
CLASS gcl_abstract_sub IMPLEMENTATION.
METHOD concrete.
    super->concrete( ).
    WRITE: / 'Abstract class might not have abstract methods at all!'.
ENDMETHOD.                    "concrete
ENDCLASS.                    "gcl_abstract_sub IMPLEMENTATION
START-OF-SELECTION.
DATA: go_abstract TYPE REF TO gcl_abstract_sub.
CREATE OBJECT go_abstract.
go_abstract->concrete( ).
Although i will agree there is no point in making a class as abstract & having no abstract method
@Sri: Looks like you're trying to implement the abstract method "AREA" in the abstract class hence the error. For abstract method you cannot define their implementation in the corres. abstract class.

How to find the parameters names of a method using reflection?

Hi,
Using the function getParameterTypes(), it is possible to find all parameter types from a Method. However, is there a way to find all parameters NAMES of a Method?
If the asnwer is no, is there an easy way to obtain this information using the java source code (I mean, that doesn't need to create a parser)?
Thanks

The same way. Primitive types, even though they do not extend java.lang.Object, and are not objects, still have an associated Class object

Implementation of java.sql.* abstract methods

Hi to u all,
Can someone tell me where the abstract methods in some interfaces in the java.sql package are implemented?
For example:
-- START CODE --
ResultSet rs = null;
try
ps = db().prepareStatement("select * from aTable where x=?");
ps.setInt(1, aValue);
rs = ps.executeQuery();
ResultSetMetaData md = rs.getMetaData();
-- END CODE --
It's about the getMetaData()-call.
It returns information about the column names in the resultset.
If I open the declaration (eclipse) the abstract method getResultSet() in the interface ResultSet in the java.sql-package is shown.
So where is the actual implementation of the method??
As a collegue told me he suspected the implementation is probably somewhere in the driver-software. If this is the case, how does the JVM know to find it there?
Thx in advance for your time and answer(s)

The JDBC driver implements the JDBC API.
The JVM how to know that?
1. The Class.forName("jdbc driver name") will load the driver into memory.
2. The DriverManager.registerDriver(Driver driver) will register the driver for later use.
Check the DriverManager.java for more detail.

Abstract method which when implemented will have different parameters

Hello to all,
I have an assignment but not looking for someone to do it for me. I am only searching for a suggestion on how to do the following.
Imagine having an application that needs to provide an estimate of the rent for different buildings.
Basically I start with by having a class name Building. This class has an abstract method called estimateRent.
I then create two classes that extend the class Building which are named Apartment and House. Both need to have the method estimateRent.
However the problem is that the rent for the Apartment is calculated on the nights passed in the flat and the people in it, while the rent for the House is just calculated on a month bases.
This means the estimateRent method requires to have different parameters depending if it is implemented inside the Apartment class or the House class.
Now I only know of two options.
The first option is to not declare the estimateRent method as an abstract method inside the Building class and just implemented inside the Apartment and House with different parameters. I do not like this option since in the future if a new Building comes in then I would like to impose the fact that that object needs to have a calculate method.
The second option is to make the estimateRent method as abstract inside the Building class however takes a parameter of either a String array or else a Map. Then the estimateRent within the Apartment class would search for the elements tagged as nights and people, and the House class would only search for the elements tagged as months!
However do not know if there are any other, better ways on how to do this. I am using Java 1.4 however if you only have answers for Java 5.0 then please post them again since I always like to learn something new :)
Thank You for any comments.

The implementation changes, yes.Yes that I could understand in the Strategy Pattern (in the document I read it was being compared with the Template Pattern).
Then you need to refactor your design.I tought about that, however if you read my first post you will notice that I have different criteria on which the costs need to be estimated. While the costs for a flat are estimated on the people staying in and nights slept there, the costs for the house are based only on the months stayed there regardless of the people living in. Now for me I feel that it is bad programming practice to create one method that can have all the parameters required for any scenario. I mean the following is NOT something I am going to do:
estimateCosts(int nights, int people, int months ... etc);
That's not a very elegant way of going about it.
What is the "Context" going to have?Yep I agree, but so far my limited brain has only come up with that! I am open to any other sugestion! always if i understand it first!
Basically the Context would better be named as Criteria and it would be an interface as follows:
interface Criteria{}
Then I would create two classes that implement the Criteria object as follows:
class AppartmentCriteria implements Criteria{
public Result estimateCosts(int nights, int people);
class HouseCriteria implements Criteria{
public Result estimateCosts(int months);
Now when I recieve the inputs, depending on the scenario the Criteria is typecasted and the correct parameters passed and we recieve the Result.
I feel the above sucks since I am not seeing it as an object oriented way of doing this out! Is there any other sugestions! The refactoring thing I am intrested in! however really I can not see how such a call to that method could be refectored!
Thank You,
tx.

Abstract Method in a Class with implemented method

I have a class which already has methods Implemented.I mean thse metgods are not abstract.I want only one method to be abstarct which will be overrideen by its subclass or derived Class
I have never tried this
Does anyone knows how to do this
If yes could you give me syntax of the method
Thanks in advance
CSJakharia

javax.swing.JComponent is an example of an abstract
class with no abstract methods. That is why the
following works:
JComponent component = new JComponent(){};
Not to forget you cannot instantiate abstarct classes
public abstract class Test
public String getName()
return "Mike";
public static void main(String[] args)
Test tt = new Test();
System.out.println(tt.getName());
}and you would get the error
The type Test cannot be instantiated.
You remove the abstract keyword and it would compile
good.No I am not misinterpreting I know what he is saying but I am closing the door of misinterpretation which I felt was possible. ;)

Why am i able to use abstract methods id they aren't yet implemented?

For example, why i can use this [http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/nio/CharBuffer.html#slice] if this is abstract?
Edited by: 947971 on 13-set-2012 10.38

947971 wrote:
Yes, but if CharBuffer has a method declared:
public abstract CharBuffer slice()So i can't use the method slice() because it's not implemented.
And why , indeed, i'm able to use it?Because it is implemented by the actual class being used. You can't instantiate abstract classes, so there is a subclass of CharBuffer which does implement the method.
If you take the interface Comparable, you see that it has an (implicitly)abstract method compareTo. A class that implements Comparable is Integer, so you can easily write:
Comparable<Integer> i = new Integer(100);
i.compareTo(new Integer(55));

 p = p.next;
 if(q == null){
 tmp.next = first;
 first = tmp;
 else{

}When i try to compile i get :
The type LPQueue<E> must implement the inherited abstract method PQueue<E>.deleteMax() LPQueue.java
The type LPQueue<E> must implement the inherited abstract method PQueue<E>.peekMax() LPQueue.java
I have written the definition for both the peekMax and deletMax methods why am i still getting the above error?
Thank you for your help,

The method signatures of the interface must match up exactly with the implementing classes. In the interface, neither method signature accepted a parameter, but in your concrete class, they do, and this just won't work.

How to find all the methods in oops

Hi all,
is there any way to find all the methods of all class in a single screen j(ust like using t.code se37 we can find all the fm created)

Hi,
1.Go to the class builder(SE24).
2.Type the class name[eg..cl_gui_alv_grid]
3.You will see a tab called methods.Click that.In that,you can view all the methods.Place the cursor in a method and click parameter tab.You can find the parameters for the method.
Kindly reward points by clicking the star on the left of reply,if it helps.

}How come there is an error:

ActionListener.actionPerformed(ActionEvent)
What the hell does that mean?

A class that implements an interface must define the methods of the interface. Your applet (or the one you borrowed) states at the top that it implements the ActionListener interface. If you go to the API, you'll see that this interface declares a method "actionPerformed", and so this class must have a method that matches the one in the interface. I see that your applet will have some Buttons. You'll need an actionPerformed method if you want the buttons to use your class (this) as their action listener.
Edit: I see that you already have an "ActionPerformed" method, but note that case matters, and this is not the same as "actionPerformed". Change one letter and you're on your way.

How to find the abstract method?

Hello all,
I have a quick question.
If there is an abstract class with few abstract methods in it, how can we know which one is abstract method in SE24 ?
Is there any setting to display all the abstract methods in SE24?
And, all the methods are getting displayed in SE24 in such a way that
<Interface1>
 method1
 method2
<Interface2>
 method1
 method2
Is it possible to display only the methods without its interface name?
Thank you.
-Ezhno.

Hi Ezhno,
In methods tab of se24, select the method &
Click on detail view icon i.e. 4th button after Parameter, Exception & code button, there you can see attributes of method , there is a checkbox for 'Abstract'.
Thanks,
Sharath

Should @Override apply to implementation of interface/abstract methods?

To me this is a minor but irritating incompatibility between Java 5 and 6. In 5 the @Override annotation only applied when an actual concrete method was overridden. In 6 it also applies when an interface or abstract method is implemented.
To my mind only the first case is actually overriding. Further the purpose of the @Override, AFAIKS, is to catch errors where you accidentally override a method, or write a method which you expect to override another, but get the signature wrong.
This kind of error isn't going to happen on implementing a method because you will get a real syntax error.
If we were going to use annotations to guarantee implementation it should be @Implements

The annotation approach is used to make up for a deficiency in the language specification. If one applies the KISS principle or the 'principle of least surprise' then just having one annotation makes sense.Okay then, we agree to disagree. But getting even farther away in the "use" of the term as opposed to the "definition" of the term isn't helping to make up for the deficiency in the language.
Of course, in the practical sense it is better to have one as it is, then, least likely to "break" in a backwards compatability sense (even when it only applies to compilation and not execution).
