INVALID Java Source/Class - 8i

Question

Hi,
When I loaded the example java source:
public class Oscar {
// return a quotation from Oscar Wilde
public static String quote() {
return "I can resist everything except temptation.";
and looked at the table USER_OBJECTS for the result I find them to be in an invalid status:
Object Name Object Type Status Timestamp
Oscar JAVA CLASS INVALID 2002-01-09:16:18
Oscar JAVA SOURCE INVALID 2002-01-09:16:17
What could be happening? Thanks in advance for your help.

Answer 1

Harish,
You need to resolve your class when loading it for it to become valid. At this point you can do the following:
ALTER JAVA CLASS "name" RESOLVE;
You can also do this when loading Java Source from SQL*Plus as follows:
CREATE OR REPLACE AND RESOLVE JAVA SOURCE NAMED "name" AS
<java code>
Or, if you prefer loadjava, use the -resolve flag
Hope this helps,
