JavaBeans class attribute problem

Hi,
I am using JavaBeans in my JSP application to represent the business logic. I am just writing a simple JavaBean to calculate wages. The bean(which is called PayBean) compiles fine and the class resides in the folder \web-inf\classes\com\mybean\pay\
In the JSP page I have
<jsp:useBean id="payBean" class="com.mybean.pay.PayBean"/>to call my bean.
However, when I ran the JSP I get the following error:
The value for the useBean class attribute com.mybean.pay.PayBean is invalid.
I tried restarting tomcat, but to no avail. Does anyone know what is wrong with my code?
I have written and used bean using the same procedure and it ran fine, so I am really puzzled.
Thanks

Your bean payBean must have a public constructor that takes no arguments. (or no constructor at all, in which case it automatically gets one)
ie
package com.mybean.pay.PayBean
public class PayBean{
public PayBean(){
}Cheers,

JavaBean Class Detection Problem

I cannot get the JSP compiler to recognize a JavaBean that I have created. I'm getting the error "Class UTest.UtilTest not found in type declaration" from oracle.jsp.provider.*. The compiler seems to be finding the file UtilTest.class in the UTest directory, since I get a "not found" error when I rename the class file.
This problem is occurring when running a JSP page under OAS on an NT system. The code is working fine when running under JDeveloper.
Any suggestions?
null

You have a getter method whose name starts with "set".
You're not following the beans naming conventions correctly. If a property is called "foo", then the getters & setters are named "getFoo" and "setFoo".

JavaBean class invalid error

Hello there,
I am new to jsp development and am having problems using javabeans. I get a class invalid error. I have created a simple example that works fine without the useBean line (there Bean doesn't do anything in the example). I have looked over earlier posts in which others have discussed this same problem (http://onesearch.sun.com/search/clickthru?qt=useBean+invalid&url=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.java.sun.com%2Fthread.jspa%3FforumID%3D45%26threadID%3D567258&pathInfo=%2Fonesearch%2Findex.jsp&hitNum=1&col=developer-forums), but I none of the proposed fixes has worked for me. I hope that someone will see something that I'm missing. Below are the files that make up the example
// userInput.jsp
<html>
    <body>
      <h3>UserInput Form</h3>
      <form name="inputForm" action="userOutput02.jsp" method="post">
        <input type="text" name="userName">
        <input type="submit" name="submit" value="GO">
      </form>
    </body>
</html>
// userOutput02.jsp
<jsp:useBean id="userInfo" scope="session" class="beans.User" />
<html>
    <body>
      <h3>User Output</h3>
      Hello <%=request.getParameter("userName")%><br>
      <a href="userInput.jsp">Enter another name</a>
    </body>
</html>
// User.java
package beans;
public class User {
    protected String name;
    public User () {}
    public String getName () {
      return name;
    public void setName (String userName) {
      name = userName;
}// Location of User.class
<%webApplicationRoot%>/WEB-INF/classes/beans
// Error Message when userOutput02.jsp is loaded
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /jsp/userOutput02.jsp(1,1) The value for the useBean class attribute beans.User is invalid.

Well, I doubt this is your problem, since I don't see you trying to set anything, but the form field should really match your setter.
If the setter is setName, the form field should be named "name" (though I'd switch everything to userName instead of name, myself, as name tends to be a reserved word in various applications and languages).
Other than that, are you using Tomcat, weblogic, or...?

Field-symbols as class attribute

Hi Fellas,
Is there a way we can define a field-symbols as a class attribute ? My requirement is that i am dynamically constructing a structure at runtime in my model class and binding the component of this structure to my view fields. I am able to create the structure which is basically ref to cl_abap_structdescr and the problem is when i am binding to the model attribute, i need this to be a structure so that i can address the components as "//model/structure.component".
Please let me know how we can define a field-symbol as a class attribute.
Cheers,
Ram.

Hi Ram,
Field-Symbol as class attribute is not possible. Your way to do this by REF TO DATA is the correct way for that.
By default data binding is only possible like this:
Simple field attribute
value=//<model>/<field name>
Structure attribute
value=//<model>/<structure name>.<field name>
Table attribute
value=//<model>/<table name>[<line index].<field name>
If you want to bind to your data reference you have to implement your own getter and setter methods. Read this <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/fb/fbb84c20df274aa52a0b0833769057/frameset.htm">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/fb/fbb84c20df274aa52a0b0833769057/frameset.htm</a> for further information. In addition to that, you have to implement your own GET_M_S_xxx to return metadata of your structure. By doing all this it is possible to implement a completely dynamic data binding. In the view it looks like the regular Structure attribute: value=//<model>/<data-ref name>.<field name>

Jar files and Main-Class attribute

Sorry, I know there are other topics regarding this argument but none of them helped me solving my problem.
I've tried a thousand time in every possible way, but I still can't run my application from a jar file. I've got a package called client, whose main class is called Client. The package contains a sub-package called Icons. I've put everything into a jar file and added this manifest:
Manifest version: 1.0
Name: client/
Sealed: True
Main-Class: client.Client
But it won't work. I've tried to erase the Sealed part, I've tried "Main-Class: Client" and also "client/Client", I've tried putting into the jar the client directory and I've tried omitting it, but the answer is always the same:
Failed to load main-class header etc.
Can anyone help me? Please, I'm almost desperate!
Thanks

Robohelp 8 & CSS Class attribute

I have been trying to use the CSS Class attributes but it doesn't seemed to be recognized by Robohelp 8. Here is an example of my code:
My external style sheet:
Test {
          width: 562px;
          height: 16px;
          text-align: center;
          font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
          font-weight: bold;
          color: #ffff00;
Test1 {
          background-color: #00900;
Test2 {
          background-color: #008000;
In my file:
<link rel="Stylesheet" href="layout.css" type="text/css" />
<div class="Test Test1">
     I type something here
</div>
The text that I type is rendered but none of the formatting. What am I doing wrong?
Does anyone know if there is a problem with Robohelp 8 not supporting CSS classes?
Thanks!
Message was edited by: Lakooli

Hi,
Add a dot (.) before the class definitions in your css:
.Test -> All elements that have the class test
Or even better:
div.Test -> Only DIV element that have the class test

Access to class-attribute by Interface-reference

Hi OO-Gurus,
I use an implementation of BADI ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST to fill and handle user-defined fields in the MM-Purchase-Requisition, method IF_EX_ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST~OPEN.
There I use a reference variable which refers to an interface (type ref to IF_PURCHASE_REQUISITION_ITEM) to access the item-object. My problem is that I need to have access to the class-attribute my_state. The corresponding class lcl_req_item is defined locally (LMEREQF01). So I cant use a reference variable with reference to this class (so widening cast using the interface-reference is not possible) .. Does anyone know a trick how to access the class-attribute anyway?
Coding:
data: l_item_list       TYPE MMPUR_REQUISITION_ITEMS,
           l_item             TYPE MMPUR_REQUISITION_ITEM,
           l_item_akt       TYPE mereq_item,
           l_item_ref        TYPE ref to IF_PURCHASE_REQUISITION_ITEM.
l_item_list = im_header->get_items().
loop at l_item_list into l_item.
    l_item_akt = l_item-item->get_data( ).
    l_item_ref = l_item-item.
endloop.
(Debugging the code, I manage by doubleclicking the fieldcontent of l_item_ref (e.g ) to show the content of the class-attribute my_state. This works only if the field Interface in the Debugger is empty because then I see the attributes of the class. If the field Interface is filled with IF_PURCHASE_REQUISITION_ITEM, there arent any attributes shown.)
Thanks in advance for your kind help!!
Nicole

Hello Nicole
The following sample coding shows you how to solve your problem. Please do not ask me how I came across this solution.
However, if you are studying it carefully you may stumble across a most beautiful property of field-symbols as I did.

l_item TYPE mmpur_requisition_item,
l_item_akt TYPE mereq_item,
l_item_ref TYPE REF TO if_purchase_requisition_item.
DATA:
    ld_attr         TYPE string,
    lo_obj          TYPE REF TO object.
FIELD-SYMBOLS:
    <lo_lcl>        TYPE ANY,
    <ls_item>       TYPE mereq_item,
    <ls_itemx>      TYPE mereq_itemx.
l_item_list = im_header->get_items( ).
LOOP AT l_item_list INTO l_item.
    l_item_akt = l_item-item->get_data( ).
    l_item_ref = l_item-item.
    lo_obj     ?= l_item-item. " casting to root object !!!!!
    ld_attr = 'MY_STATE'.
    ASSIGN lo_obj->(ld_attr) TO <lo_lcl>.
    ld_attr = 'MY_STATE->ITEM'.
    ASSIGN lo_obj->(ld_attr) TO <ls_item>.
"    ASSIGN l_item_ref->(ld_attr) TO <ls_item>. " does not work...
    ld_attr = 'MY_STATE->ITEMX'.
    ASSIGN lo_obj->(ld_attr) TO <ls_itemx>.
ENDLOOP.

HELP! Beginning JSP with JavaBean Class

First of all, I'm using jdk1.4 beta and Jakarta's tomcat version 4.0.1 release build.
Hello. I desparately need help. I have a JavaBean class ("CarBean.class") saved in %catalina_home%\webapps\root\myapp\web-inf\classes\com\wrox\cars\CarBean.class
I also have a jsp page saved as carpage.jsp in %catalina_home%\webapps\root\myapp\
So when I point my browser to http://localhost:8080/myapp/carpage.jsp, I get an internal server error. It appears it can't find the JavaBean class for some reason. I'm pretty sure I have my envionment variables set up right. I can get it to work, if I save the JavaBean class in c:\jdk1.4\jre\class\com\wrox\cars
Here's my JavaBean class source file:
package com.wrox.cars;
import java.io.Serializable;
public class CarBean implements Serializable {
public CarBean() {
private String make = "Ford";
public String getMake() {
return make;
public void setMake(String make) {
this.make = make;
and here's my jsp page:
<html>
<head>
<title>Using a JavaBean</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Using a JavaBean</h2>
<% com.wrox.cars.CarBean myCar = new com.wrox.cars.CarBean(); %>
I own a <%= myCar.getMake() %>
<% myCar.setMake("Ferrari"); %>
Now I own a <%= myCar.getMake() %>
</body>
</html>
I'm not new to java, just JSP. I just don't know why I can't get the jsp to locate the JavaBean class. I remember I used to have an older version of Tomcat and I recall not having any problems. It seems the Tomcat 4.XX is somewhat significantly different than previous versions. Perhaps I configured my Tomcat wrong? Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

hi
i am not using Tomcat server but as i worked in JWS you have to import the bean class from jsp files.
so the first code in jsp file will be like this
<%@ page import = "CarBean">
becoz JWS cant automatically find the bean class we have to explicitly import bean.but i dont know if tomcat finds
bean or one have to import.
hope this will help u.

JAXB XJC class generation problem

Hi!, I�m trying to generate the classes for the IMS-LearningDesign schema:
xjc -d src_temp -p edu.eci.ims.ld IMS_LD_Level_A.xsd
parsing a schema...
[ERROR] Attempt to create a property having the same name as the reserved word "Class".
line 177 of IMS_LD_Level_A.xsd
The problem is that schema has a 'class' attribute, and that`s a reserved word for JAXB.
When the schema is modified (add a character to the attribute name - oclass) it works fine, but I need to keep the standard specification (to parse standard XML - LD files). What can I do to solve this problem without modifying the schema?

I'd suggest you repost this to the JAXB users mailing list at Java.Net. That list is monitored by the JAXB implementation team.
Check http://jaxb.dev.java.net/

Page Attributes and Application Class Attributes

Hi, everyone,
I am quite new to BSP.
I have a question here:
what is the difference between page attributes and application class attributes of a bsp application? As they are both global attributes, there seems to be no big difference when we use them.
thanks a lot.
Fan

Hi Fan,
a BSP application can be made up of many pages.
A page attribute is visible only in the page it is associated with.
Attributes of the application class are visible from every page in that application.
Cheers

Download Global Class attributes

Hi...
I want to download the global class attributes into an excel. when i checked the menu there is no such option.. Is that possible to do.. Can anyone guide me...
Thanks in advance.
Kalpanashri Rajendran.

Hi,
Assuming you are asking specifically about the global class "Attributes" and not all information about the global class itself. To get the "Attributes" in a spreadsheet you can try this work-around:
1. Run transaction SE84 Repository Info System.
2. Expand the "Class Library" branch.
3. Double-click the "Attributes" node.
4. Enter your global class name and run the search.
5. Once the list of attributes is displayed, choose menu path System -> List -> Save -> Local File.
6. Choose "Spreadsheet" format in the popup.
7. Give a file path and name for your spreadsheet.
8. You should now have a spreadsheet with all the "Attributes" of your global class.
Best Regards,
Jamie

Cannot find JavaBean class?

Created JSP program that calls a javabean but for some reason it cannot find the javabean class. I moved the NonConfBean.class and NonConfBean.java modules to the directory: C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3\webapps\examples\WEB-INF\classes. Also, I modified my CLASSPATH to the following: .;C:\j2sdk1.4.0\lib;C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3\webapps\examples\WEB-INF\classes.
Here is the JSP:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<%@ page import="accsp.application.*"%>

</head>
<body>
<jsp:useBean id="accapp"
class="accsp.application.NonConfBean"
scope="request" />
<jsp:setProperty name="accapp" property="*"/>
<BR>
<% accapp.updateDatabase(); %>
<jsp:forward page="NonconfPresentation.jsp" />
</body>
</html>
And here is the error:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSPNote: sun.tools.javac.Main has been deprecated.

import accsp.application.*;
^
1 error, 1 warning
If I take out the import I receive the following error:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSPNote: sun.tools.javac.Main has been deprecated.
An error occurred between lines: 7 and 9 in the jsp file: /myJSPs/addaccspapp.jsp

Why is this happening?

Yes I have put NonConfBean.class in the following directories just to make sure I am covering all bases:
1. C:\accsp\application
2. C:\j2sdk1.4.0\accsp\application
3. C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3\accsp\application

'ResourceDictionary' root element is a generic type and requires a x:Class attribute to support the x:TypeArguments attribute sp

Error : 'ResourceDictionary' root element is a generic type and requires a x:Class attribute to support the x:TypeArguments attribute specified on the root element tag.
Hi,
I get this error when i include some namespaces in my ResourceDictionary to specify a Style for a custom control.
Can anyone help me?
Thx
Stardusty

Hi,
That's the whole point. I don't want to use x:TypeArguments on a ResourceDictionary but the compiler says it needs it.
And i don't know why.
This code give no error:
<ResourceDictionary
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:sys="clr-namespaceystem;assembly=mscorlib">
</ResourceDictionary>
And by adding 3 namespaces it gives that weard error:
<ResourceDictionary
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:controls="clr-namespace:MyTime.View.Controls"
xmlns:converters="clr-namespace:MyTime.View.Converters"
xmlns:validationrules="clr-namespace:MyTime.View.ValidationRules"
xmlns:sys="clr-namespaceystem;assembly=mscorlib">
</ResourceDictionary>

Class attribute in technical workflow log not updated

Hi Gurus,
I built a workflow analogous to the famous demo workflow "demoformabs" but with the demo class: CL_SWF_FORMABSENC instead of the BOR: FORMABSENC.
In the BOR Formabsenc there is also an attribute for the "Approver" (USR01) in addition to "Creator" (USR01).
This attribute "Approver" is missing in the class "CL_SWF_FORMABSENC".
So I added this attribute "Approver" also in the class "CL_SWF_FORMABSENC":
data APPROVER type SIBFLPORB value CL_SWF_BOR_TYPES=>MC_USR01.
Finally in the method "approve" I set the value for the attribute "APPROVER".
me->approver-instid = me->APPROVBY.
I can see that the value has been successfully set by setting a binding from this class attribute to a workflow container element.
BUT, in the technical workflow log (container) I can not see the class attribute "Approver" populated.
Here it´s still displayed as < no instance >.
What do I need to do, to make this value appear also in this class attribute in the technical workflow log?
Albeit I know, that it´s working, I am getting confused, that it´s still displayed as empty.
Cheers,
Dominik

Hi Dominik,
You should not populate attributes in this manner, for the very reason you're experiencing. Attributes are transient and behave like variables, i.e. when the class stops existing they disappear. During binding only the key is transferred, and - if needed - the class is re-instantiated at the other end. If you have implemented some kind of buffering/instance management (not a bad idea), then you may be lucky to have attributes survive if everything happens within the same program context. However once your WF session stops executing, this is lost.
This is why when you look at the log later, it is re-instantiating a completely new instance - where would it know the approver from?
The attribute value must be written to the DB somewhere, so that any later object instantiation (e.g. when you look at the log) will read the value and populate the attributes correctly.
Incidentally this is why OO theory discourages the use of public attributes and suggests GET_ and SET_ methods instead....

Mike
