Flaw in interface declaration
Hi,
While writing a code , i mistakenly compiled the following code with interface declared as :
interface A extends r
where r was not declared anywhere
Anyone can please suggest why this happened. Is this a flaw in JAVA.
Thanks
Deepak
Either you'd mistakenly created a class called "r" earlier, or you were mistaken in thinking that it compiled. Given your apparent predeliction for single letter class names the former seems the most likely.

Static interface Vs Static nested interface declaration
Hi,
I have observed that static interface declaration is not allowed in Java. However static nested interface declaration is allowed.
I could not understood reason behind this behavior.
e.g.
interface A{
void AA();
public static abstract interface Aa{
} ........... this is allowed in Java.
static interface d{
} ...... This is not allowed in Java...
I already know that static mean one for class and interface has only abstract method.
Please let me know if any one know resign behind this.
Thanks .Why don't you go to a Java forum?

Hello,
Is it possible to have a dynamic interface declaration like you can have a dynamic object declaration?
For an object:
data: lo_object type ref to object.
create object lo_object type (lv_object_name).
Is this in some way possible to do with an interface? I need to do this for an interface at runtime.
Gr,
JaronYou can create data of a dynamically given reference type (which may be an interface) and move the object reference to it.
Something like so:
DATA:
my_obj TYPE REF TO object,
lr_data TYPE REF TO data.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs> TYPE ANY.
CREATE OBJECT my_obj TYPE my_object_type.
TRY.
CREATE DATA lr_data TYPE REF TO (some_interface_type_name).
ASSIGN lr_data->* TO <fs>.
<fs> ?= my_obj.
CATCH cx_sy_move_cast_error.
CATCH cx_sy_create_data_error.
ENDTRY.
Basically, the assignment tests if my_obj is an instance of the type named some_interface_type_name.
Hope this helps,

Runnable interface declaration
Hello,
Although the function run() is inside the public interface Runnable. its once again declared as abstract. Can i get to know the reason for this ?
Thanks in advance.Abstract and public have nothing to do with each other.
Every method in every interface is implicitly public and abstract. They can be declared that way or not, but if they are, it's redundant. Some programmers might choose to explicitly declare them public and/or abstract to make it obvious, but it's not necessary and it has no effect. -
Why Collection interface declares equals() and hashCode() method
When I went through the source code of Collection interface, I found equals() and hashCode() are declared? Why? If a class implements this interface, it will inherit these two method from Object, and we can true to override them.
It's probably so that they can provide the documentation that you see there.

Would like to declare a variable Public/Global in an IF statement
Is there way to declare a variable as Public in an IF statement. My goal is to declare the variable as global (since this variable is used somewhere in the code and should not get initialized when there is loop back to the top of the code, hence using IF statement to control the initialization) based on the IF condition and then use it elsewhere in the code.
I have it like this
if (!sei_second_jsp.equals("1"))
public int[] mecitem;
public String[] sei_mfg_prod_cat;
public String[] sei_part_number;
public String[] sei_descrip;
public String[] sei_price;
public int[] sei_onhand;
public int[] sei_demand;
mecitem = new int[20000];
sei_mfg_prod_cat = new String[20000];
sei_part_number = new String[20000];
sei_descrip = new String[20000];
sei_price = new String[20000];
sei_onhand = new int[20000];
sei_demand = new int[20000];
for (int i=0; i<=19999; i++)
mecitem[i] = 0;
sei_mfg_prod_cat[i] = " ";
sei_part_number[i] = " ";
sei_descrip[i] = " ";
sei_price[i] = " ";
sei_onhand[i] = 0;
sei_demand[i] = 0;
Your guess is right, I am using this code in JSP - since this is a Java related question, thought of posting it in JAVA forum.
When I use the above code, I get the following error
1809 }' expected. {
1811 Statement expected. public int[] mecitem;
1827 Identifier expected. mecitem = new int[20000];
1827 Can't specify array dimension in a declaration. mecitem = new int[20000];
1827 Identifier expected. mecitem = new int[20000];
1837 Can't specify array dimension in a declaration. sei_onhand = new int[20000];
1837 Identifier expected. sei_onhand = new int[20000];
1839 Can't specify array dimension in a declaration. sei_demand = new int[20000];
1839 Identifier expected. sei_demand = new int[20000];
3117 Class or interface declaration expected. }Please note the above code in the JSP is submitting to itself and I donot want it to get initialized if the IF statement is not successful..
thnks a lot for your time.. !!! -
Use of generics in the Map interface
After using Java 1.5 for a while, I've gotten pretty comfortable using generics and the collections framework. Very often, I depend on the new generics-related compiler warnings to guide me when I've made changes to my code. Recently, I missed a fairly subtle bug because of the following issue. Why isn't the get() method in the java.util.Map interface declared as:
V get(K key);Is there some subtle reason why this method isn't declared to enforce the generic type K for the key value? Likewise for containsKey() and remove() as well.
Thanks!So where is the problem to use K in the first
place??The cast to K is removed during complilation. It's
not going to do anything at runtime.
Just because a reference is of type Object doesn't
mean it's not a K.
If I get an Object of unknown type, why should I have
to down-cast it just so that I can check to see
whether it is in the Map?
To state the point I wrote this simple code:
Map<String,Integer> testMap = new TreeMap<String,Integer>();
testMap.put("test", Integer.valueOf(100));
// test the get method
Integer value = testMap.get("test");
System.out.println("First value: " + value);
// test the method with differing parameter
value = testMap.get(Float.valueOf(2));
System.out.println("Second value: " + value);The code compiles without any error (so far so good) but the execution of this code results in Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String
at java.lang.Float.compareTo(Unknown Source)
at java.util.TreeMap.compare(Unknown Source)
at java.util.TreeMap.getEntry(Unknown Source)
at java.util.TreeMap.get(Unknown Source)
at MapTest.main(MapTest.java:27)So when the Object parameter is allowed (I'm okay with that) why the ClassCastException. A similar approach to the implementations of Lists would be necessary. The current implementation is not satisfactory. -

}The "should be declared abstract" error message means that you have either extended an abstract class with abstract methods that you have not implemented, or you have implemented an interface and not implemented all of its methods. Non abstract classes have to implement all methods that their base classes or interfaces declare.
The "getAudioClip() not found" error message means that the compiler could not find the method getAudioClip(). Either your class or one of its base classes has to define this method. -
Interface v/s Abstract Interface
I am bit confused in one place during the declaration of Interface. as you know I can define a Inteface in two way,
a) public interface InterfaceTest {
public void test();
b) public abstract interface InterfaceTest {
public abstract void test();
In first case I declare a normal Interface and in second case done with a abstract keyword. Both are working in a same manner.
But when Java allow us to declare it in two ways, the their must be a reason behind the scene.
Can you explain me the reason behind this tow type of Interface declarationCan you explain me the reason behind this tow type of Interface declaration JLS says:
Every interface is implicitly abstract. This modifier is obsolete and should not be used in new programs. -
Interfaces and methods of Object class
JSL 2.0 states the following
If an interface has no direct superinterfaces, then the interface implicitly
declares a public abstract member method m with signature s, return type r,
and throws clause t corresponding to each public instance method m with
signature s, return type r, and throws clause t declared in Object, unless a
method with the same signature, same return type, and a compatible throws
clause is explicitly declared by the interface.
But the following codes produces empty output
package test;
import java.lang.reflect.Method;
public class TestIterface {
public static void main(String [] args){
Method [] methods=Y.class.getMethods();
for(int i=0, n=methods.length;i<n;i++)
System.out.println(methods);
interface Y{
What are the reasons of such behaviour?then the interface implicitly declares a public abstract member method
"Implicit" means that it's implied that the interface declares those methods; unlike java.lang.Object, there is no interface from which all other interfaces descend. All interfaces at the "top" of the inheritance hierarchy are implied to expose at least the same methods as Object.
Hope this helps... -
Interface methods with Exceptions
I have an interface like the following
public interface FooInterface
void doMethod() throws Exception;
}I've created a class which implements the interface
public class BarClass implements FooInterface
public void doMethod()
// Code...
}Why is it that when I compile the class, no warnings or compiler errors are generated when the exception reference is absent. When I change the signature of the class method to become..
public void doMethod() throws ExceptionThe compiler error that appears is...
doMethod() in BarClass cannot implement doMethod() in FooInterface; overridden method does not throw java.lang.Exception
I'm confused. I recall seeing the opposite. That is, aren't compiler errors generated when I fail to add the exception to the implemented method in the class...Isn't that necessary to comply with the contract specified by the interface..When you implement an interface (or override amethod in a parent class)
you can declare that you throw a narrower set ofexceptions--including
none--because that doesn't violate the interface's(or parent class')
promise not to throw more than that exception.Then the interface will define only "as bad as things
could be" (struggling for words here) but will not
impose requirements on the class to alert calling
methods that the exception could be thrown.Yes, the interface is declaring a "things will be no worse than this" promise, but the method still has to declare any unchecked exceptions that it could throw. If the interface says throws FooException, BarException, then the implementing method is allowed to throw FooE, BarE, and any of their children. But if it turns out that my implementation only throws FooE, then I can declare throws FooE and skip the BarE in the implementation. If I also throw BarE, then I have to declare it. If the implementation also throws BazE and doesn't declare it, the compiler will complain about throwin an exception without declaring it, but if I declare it, then I'm violating the interface's contract, and the compiler will complain about that.
So which exceptions are declared/thrown is bound by a couple of things:
1) All methods must declare all the unchecked exceptions they throw (or superclass(es) that encompass those exceptions).
2) Any method that implements an interface cannot declare or throw any unchecked exceptions outside of what the interface declares.
2a) But it can declare/throw less
2b) But it still has to declare what it throws.

A user of your class who codes to the interfacestill has to handle the
exception that the interface throws. If they code toyour implementing
class, then they only have to handle whateverexceptions it throws--i.e.
a (possibly) empty subset of what the interfacedeclares.
This sounds like the class should declare that the
method could throw an exception... I'm not sure what
you mean by code to the interface vs code to the
implementing class..I've compiled a class which
implements an interface, the method in which includes
an Exception Specification. The class, however,
compiles without any mention of the Exception. Are
you saying that methods which call the method in the
class, must be prepared to catch the Exception of the
method which is implemented from the interface,
regardless of whether it is even announced in the
class?... It is implicitly passed on then..
interface Foo {
void foo() throws FooE;
class FooImpl implements Foo {
public void foo() { // I don't throw any exceptions, so I needn't declare anything
// do nothing
// coding to the interface--the preferred way. All I know about f1 is that it's a Foo
Foo f1 = new FooImpl();
// coding to the implementation. I know that f2 is a FooImpl which implements Foo
FooImpl f2 = new FooImpl();
// f1 is a Foo, and therefore can throw FooE
try {
f1.foo();
catch (FooE exc) {
// handle
// f2 is a FooImpl, and therefore we know it throws no exceptions
f2.foo();Now that I think about it, I'm actually not 100% sure that my claims about having to catch only the implementation's exceptions (none, here) if you code to the implementation are accurate. I suggest you put the above code into some boilerplate and see if it compiles. -
Error WWW_FLOW_SECURITY. should be declared
Hi,
I install Apex 3.1.2, and when I have to change the password for admin I become the error:
WWW_FLOW_SECURITY.G_SECURITY_GROUP_ID should be declared
WWW_FLOW_SECURITY.G_USER should be declared
WWW_FLOW_SECURITY.G_IMPORT_IN_PROGRESS should be declared
WWW_FLOW_SECURITY.G should be declared
I can not define a password for admin, eather using:
@apxxepwd.sql or
@apxchpwd.sql
What can I do?
Thanks
GisselThe "should be declared abstract" error message means that you have either extended an abstract class with abstract methods that you have not implemented, or you have implemented an interface and not implemented all of its methods. Non abstract classes have to implement all methods that their base classes or interfaces declare.
The "getAudioClip() not found" error message means that the compiler could not find the method getAudioClip(). Either your class or one of its base classes has to define this method. -

I have doubt regarding interface concept.That is in my interface 7 methods are already available.that interface was implementd by 3 classes.like class a,class b,class c.in future i will add some extra method to that interface but that method will usefull only in class a
but it will not usefull in class b, class c. how can i achieve this type of scenario.plese give the answer.
Thanks and regardsAccording to your example the additional methods should NOT be added to the interface. An interface should only include the methods relevant to all of the classes implementing it. Any method not related to theinterface itself should not be in there.
Add your methods to class a or create a second interface declaring the methods you need.
