Inherited abstract method IGCIControllerDelegate

Hi,
I created only view in NWDS,the implementation it can't recognize the IPrivateview and context values.i deleted and created agine but agine it shows same,and the error is inherited abstract method IGCIControllerDelegate,please give me solution,what is the problem?

Hi Sumit,
I closed and agine opened but iam getting the same error.Please tell me .

}How come there is an error:

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.

Implementing abstract methods

Hello guys,
I have a LPQueue class that implements a interface PQueue
Here are the fiels:
//PQueue interface
import java.util.Iterator;
interface PQueue<E extends Comparable<E>>
public void insert(E x);
public E peekMax();
public E deleteMax();
public int size();
public void clear();
public Iterator<E> iterator();
//LPQueue class
import java.util.*;
import java.util.Iterator;
public class LPQueue<E extends Comparable<E>> implements PQueue<E>
 private Node<E> first;
 private int size;
 public LPQueue(){
 first = null; //pointing to the first element
 size = 0;
 public void insert(E x){
 Node <E> tmp = new Node<E>(x);
 size++; //when we call insert we want to increase size by one to keep the size of queue current
 Node <E> p = first; //p points to first element
 Node <E> q = null; //this points to null initially because q has to stay behind p
 while(p != null && x.compareTo(p.data) > 0){
 q = p;
 p = p.next;
 if(q == null){
 tmp.next = first;
 first = tmp;
 else{
 tmp.next = p;
 q.next = tmp;
 public E peekMax(E x){
 if(size == 0){
 throw new NoSuchElementException();
 if(x.compareTo(first.data) > 0){
 return x;
 }else return first.data;
 public E deleteMax(E x){
 Node <E> tmp;
 if(size == 0){
 throw new NoSuchElementException();
 if(x.compareTo(first.data) > 0){
 first.data = null;
 return x;
 }else
 tmp = first;
 first.data = null;
 return tmp.data;
 public int size(){
 return size;
 public void clear(){
 size = 0;
 first = null;
 public Iterator<E> iterator()
 return new LQIterator();
 private class LQIterator implements Iterator<E>{

 public boolean hasNext()
 return current !=null;
 public E next()
 if(!hasNext()){
 throw new NoSuchElementException();
 E x = current.data;
 current = current.next;
 return x;
 public void remove()
 throw new UnsupportedOperationException();
 //seting up static Node class
 private static class Node <E>{
 public E data; //seting up paramtere data for node
 public Node<E> next; //
 public Node(E x){ //sting up constructor for Node passing the paramter x to data
 data = x;
}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,
-Lovac

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.

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.
Sri

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.

ABAP OO Abstract Methods

Hi,
I want to use abstract methods in ABAP. I created an abstract class as base and another 'child' class that extends that class. Now, I want to have different implementations in different child classes. The problem is that the IDE redirects me to the base class when trying to to this. There is no possibility to set the method as abstract.
Do you know if that concept is implemented at all? Maybe I just forgot to configure something?!
What do you propose?
Thank you and best regards,
Daniel

Hi,
If you are creating Local class using SE38, then just by writing "abstact" to the method it behaves like an abstract method.
If you are creating global class SE24, then genrally all interface methods are "abstract" methods so that we can ihberit and can redefine the methods for example: "IF_FLUSH_NOTIFY~BEFORE_FLUSH_NOTIFY" symbol ~ shows that it is an abstract method in the interface before to that.
So, even if it refer to its base class you can just implement them in the child classes by inheriting it.
Hope this helps you if yes try to assign some app. points.

Suman

"Abstract" method in a non-abstract class

Hi all.
I have a class "SuperClass" from which other class are extended...
I'd like to "force" some methods (method1(), method2, ...) to be implemented in the inherited classes.
I know I can accomplish this just implementing the superclass method body in order to throw an exception when it's directly called:
void method1(){
throw new UnsupportedOperationException();
}...but I was wondering if there's another (better) way...
It's like I would like to declare some abstract methods in a non-abstract class...
Any ideas?

The superclass just models the information held by
the subclasses.
The information is taken from the database, by
accessing the proper table (one for each subclass).??
What do you mean by "models the information"?
You should use inheritance (of implementation) only when the class satisfies the following criteria:
1) "Is a special kind of," not "is a role played by a";
2) Never needs to transmute to be an object in some other class;
3) Extends rather than overrides or nullifies superclass;
4) Does not subclass what is merely a utility class (useful functionality you'd like to reuse); and
5) Within PD: expresses special kinds of roles, transactions, or things.
Why are you trying to force these mystery methodsfrom the superclass?
It's not mandatory for me to do it... I 'd see it
just like a further way to check that the subclasses
implements these methods, as they have to do.That's not a good idea. If the superclass has no relation to the database, it shouldn't contain methods (abstract or otherwise) related to database transactions.
The subclasses are the classes that handle db
transaction.
They are designed as a binding to a db table.And how is the superclass designed to handle db transactions? My guess (based on your description) is that it isn't. That should tell you right away that the subclasses should not extend your superclass.

Abstract method and class

I'm a beginner in Java and just learn about abstract method and class.
However, i am wondering what is the point of using abstract method/class?
Because when I delete the abstract method and change the class name to public class XXXX( changed from "abstract class XXXX), my program still runs well, nothing goes different.
Is it because I haven't encountered any situation that abstract method is necessary or ?
Thanks!

Yes - you probably haven't encountered a situation where you need an abstract.
Abstract classes are not designed to do anything on their own. They are designed to provide a template for other classes to extend by inheritance. What you have build sounds like a concrete class - one which you are creating instances of. Abstract classes are not designed to be ever instantiated in their pure form - they act like a partial building block, which you will complete in a class which extends the abstract.
An example might be a button class, which provides some core functionality (like rollover, rollout etc) but has an empty action method which has to be overwritten by a relevant subclass like 'StartButton'. In general, abstract classes may not be the right answer, and many people would argue that it is better to use an interface, which can be implemented instead of extended, meaning that you can ADD instead of REPLACING.
Not sure if that helps.. there are whole chapters in books on this kind of thing, so it's hard to explain in a couple of paragraphs. Do some google searches to find out more about how they work.

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.

Nested interfaces and abstract methods

Consider the following design:
interface ZIF_INTERFACE_A.
methods METHOD_A.
endinterface.
interface ZIF_INTERFACE_B.
interfaces ZIF_INTERFACE_A.
methods METHOD_B.
endinterface.
class CLASS_A_B definition abstract.
public section.
interfaces ZIF_INTERFACE_B
    abstract methods METHOD_B.
interfaces ZIF_INTERFACE_A
    abstract methods METHOD_A.
methods METHOD_C.
endclass.
class CLASS_A_B implementation.
method METHOD_C.
endmethod.
endclass.
When trying to implement this design, the syntax check is giving me an error:
The method "METHOD_A" was declared as not ABSTRACT in a previous INTERFACES statement.
If I implement the design with Java (either using a public nested interface, or using interface inheritance) there is no problem declaring both the methods METHOD_A and METHOD_B as abstract in the CLASS_A_B class.
So it seems to me this might be a bug in the ABAP Objects implementation. Or perhaps I am missing something else here? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hello,
Nested interfaces
When you include an IF in another IF both of them will exist on the same level, there is no concept of hierarchy. So when you add interface ZIF_B in the implementing class ZCL_A_B, the interface ZIF_A is also "included" in the relationship with the class ZCL_A_B implicitly.
Just try to activate the code below & you'll get the error: "Implementation missing for method zif_interface_a~method_a":
CLASS class_a_b DEFINITION ABSTRACT.
PUBLIC SECTION.
*    INTERFACES zif_interface_a
*      ABSTRACT METHODS method_a.
    INTERFACES zif_interface_b
      ABSTRACT METHODS: method_b.
    METHODS method_c.
ENDCLASS.                    "CLASS_A_B DEFINITION
CLASS class_a_b DEFINITION ABSTRACT.
PUBLIC SECTION.
    INTERFACES zif_interface_b
      ABSTRACT METHODS method_b.
    INTERFACES zif_interface_a
      ABSTRACT METHODS method_a.
    METHODS method_c.
ENDCLASS.                    "CLASS_A_B DEFINITION
So when the compiler is trying to compile your code it encounter implementation of ZIF_INTERFACE_B it finds that the "included interface" method ZIF_INTERFACE_Amethod_a is not abstract. So when you declare ZIF_INTERFACE_Amethod_a as "abstract" in the next line the compiler throws this error.
So you need to define ZIF_INTERFACE_A~method_a as abstract, before defining ZIF_INTERFACE_B. Like this:
CLASS class_a_b DEFINITION ABSTRACT.
PUBLIC SECTION.
    INTERFACES zif_interface_a
      ABSTRACT METHODS method_a.
    INTERFACES zif_interface_b
      ABSTRACT METHODS method_b.
    METHODS method_c.
ENDCLASS.                    "CLASS_A_B DEFINITION
In this case the compiler treats method_a as abstract while checking ZIF_INTERFACE_B. Hence it doesn't throw any error.
Hope i'm clear.

PS: Whenever i face any problem while creating local classes, i create a dummy class in the class builder to check

Abstract methods probe!!!!!!

HI,
Please help me,
I would like to make changeSize abstract
Problem is subclass Circle AND Triangle
where Circle requiers only one parameter (radius)
and Triangle (two height & width)
abstract public void changeSize(int newSize);
Thanks //jF

I suspect something's severly wrong here ... although
you unify the parameter
passing (using double[]s) if feel (I'm psychic
remember?) that you're still violating
the LSP. IMHO resizing using one parameter versus
resizing using two parameters
are two different things and can't be unified using
polymorphism (the abstract method
in the base class).
Maybe there should be two abstract resize methods
in the base class. All
subclasses are to decide for themselves what to do
given any of the two ...The basic problem is that circles and triangles don't have too much in common to model a good inheritance tree...

Why java does not force to declare atleast one abstract method

hi,
i can define an abstract class without declaring any abstract method in that class. But why wud i do this ? i mean when i have decided that a particular class should be inherited by other subclass and subclass should porvide implementation then there should be atleast one method in the abstract super class which requires implementation.
All i want to know is why java does not force to declare atleast one abstract method in abstract class.
there may be some situations where this restriction can create problem if it is like that then can anybody give some example.
manish

hi,
i didn't get u.
u r trying to say that i have an abstract class with
only static methods then my questions is why wud
declare such a class as 'abstract' class? because a
static method can't be abstract also. Even then if
somebody want to define such a class with only static
methods then compiler should force him to declare
atleast one abstract method which can be implemented
by subclass, because as i said before if sumbody
decide to define a class abstract then he wants that
it should be inhereted but as u r saying a class with
only static methods then it should not be an abstract
class it can be a simple class.there's no functional reason, really... actually, factory-like classes are often defined the way Ceci described
"abstract" only ensures that nobody can ever get an instance of that class (as a matter of fact, what would be the point of getting an instance, if no instance method exists ?)

Oh, I see that the title of your post is an error message? Ok. Well, the test class is declared as implementing an ActionListener. That means the test class must have an actionPerformed() method. Your test class apparently does not.
It does not appear that the test class needs to implement ActionListener. You are using annonymous classes as listeners.

Is not abstract and does not override abstract method tablechanged

I will remove all the gui code to make it shorter, but my problem lies with my InteractiveTableModelListener.
public class Meet extends JPanel{
private static void createAndShowGUI() {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("MEET_dataTable");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.add(new Meet(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
public class InteractiveTableModelListener implements TableModelListener {
     public void TableChanged(TableModelEvent evt) {
if (evt.getType() == TableModelEvent.UPDATE) {
      int column = evt.getColumn();
      int row = evt.getFirstRow();
      dataTable.setColumnSelectionInterval(column + 1, column + 1);
      dataTable.setRowSelectionInterval(row, row);
class InteractiveRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer {
protected int interactiveColumn;
public InteractiveRenderer(int interactiveColumn) {
      this.interactiveColumn = interactiveColumn;
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable dataTable,
     Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row,
     int column)
Component c = super.getTableCellRendererComponent(dataTable, value, isSelected, hasFocus, row, column);
   if (column == interactiveColumn && hasFocus) {
     if ((Meet.this.tableModel.getRowCount() - 1) == row &&
        !Meet.this.tableModel.hasEmptyRow())
         Meet.this.tableModel.addEmptyRow();
    highlightLastRow(row);
return c;
public void highlightLastRow(int row) {
     int lastrow = tableModel.getRowCount();
if (row == lastrow - 1) {
      dataTable.setRowSelectionInterval(lastrow - 1, lastrow - 1);
else {
      dataTable.setRowSelectionInterval(row + 1, row + 1);
     dataTable.setColumnSelectionInterval(0, 0);

        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
            UIManager.put("swing.boldMetal", Boolean.FALSE);
            createAndShowGUI();
}As i say, i have removed all the gui code to make it shorter, but in this code i create the table and add all the model to it. I am being returned with the error
Meet.InteractiveTableModelListener is not abstract and does not override abstract method tableChanged(javax.swing.event.TableModelEvent)in javax.swing.event.TableModelListener
what would be causing this error?
Cheers

Sorry, just figured out my silly error, the method is tableChanged not TableChanged.

Is not abstract and does not override abstract method ERROR

Hello. I'm new at all this, and am attempting to recreate a sample code out of my book (Teach Yourself XML in 24 Hours), and I keep getting an error. I appriciate any help.
This is the Error that I get:

System.out.println("Warning on line " + exception.getLineNumber());

Check to make sure that the arguments are consistent with your ContentHandler class. Probably the wrong type.
I think you forgot to include the skippedEntity method, it seems to be missing. Even if an implemented class has a method that you are not using, you still have to include the method in your code even if it doesn't do anything.

...is not abstract and does not override abstract method compare

Why am I getting the above compile error when I am very clearly overriding abstract method compare (ditto abstract method compareTo)? Here is my code -- which was presented 1.5 code and I'm trying to retrofit to 1.4 -- followed by the complete compile time error.

According to the book I'm reading, if you merely take
out the generic from the code, it should compile and
run in v1.4 (assuming, of course, that the class
exists in 1.4). I don't know what book you are reading but that's certainly incorrect or incomplete at least. I've manually retrofitted code to 1.4, and you'll be inserting casts as well as replacing type references with Object (or the erased type, to be more precise).
These interfaces do exist in 1.4, and
without the generics.Exactly. Which means compareTo takes an Object, and you should change your overriding method accordingly.
But this raises a new question: how does my 1.4
compiler know anything about generics? It doesn't and it can't. As the compiler is telling you, those interfaces expect Object. Think about it, you want to implement one interface which declares a method argument type of Object, in several classes, each with a different type. Obviously all of those are not valid overrides.
