Method is undefined for type

What am I doing wrong here?
public void testArray(Test2[] tarray){
          for(Test2 t : tarray){
               System.out.println(t);
Test2[] passArray = new Test2[4];
testArray(passArray);  // error: Method testArray(Test2[]) is undefined for type Test.Also, for future reference, how do I format the code for this forum so that it has proper indentation and is easier to read? Thanks.

Also, for future reference, how do I format the code for this forum so that it has proper indentation and is easier to read? Thanks.put it in tags. There's an explaination in the Welcomd thread I believe, and also in the FAQs.

  • Generated servlet error: method is undefined for type

    Hi,
    I keep getting the following error when I attempt to run my JSP:
    org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
    An error occurred at line: 12 in the jsp file: /jsp-examples/JSPandMySQL/loginuser.jsp
    Generated servlet error:
    The method getValidUser() is undefined for the type LoginDetails
    In my JSP file I have the code:
    <%
    boolean validName = login.getValidUser();
    if(validName == false) {
    out.println("Invalid Username");
    } else {
    out.println("Valid Username");
    %>
    and the method getValidUser(); is in a Java Bean that I have created and the code for that method is just :
    public boolean getValidUser() {
    return valid;
    I've tried searching the net for some answers but none of the solutions given work for mine, I would be grateful for any advice on how to solve this program.

    DId you import the class at the top of the jSP? Does the method exist? Is the class compiled properly?

  • Execute method is undefined for Request_ZBpProjectGetlist2.

    I created a webservice for a BAPI and imported to Web Dynpro DC using Web Service Model.
    But I am getting an error in wdContext.currentRequest_ZBpProjectGetlist2Element().modelObject().execute();
    It says Method execute() is undefined for Request_ZBpProjectGetlist2.
    Can anyone help me why the execute method is not available for webservice model...

    Hi Sridhar,
    Please check execute method available for Request_ZBpProjectGetlist2 or not.
    Organize your import and check Request_ZBpProjectGetlist2 is imported or not.

  • Operator ' ' undefined for type K

    Hey,
    Trying to implement a binary search tree.
    I can't get the search feature working...
    I keep getting this error:
    The operator < is undefined for the argument type(s) K, K     BinarySearchTree/src/myPackage     BSTree.java     line 35     similarly for '>'http://www.darkdayssoftware.com/BSTree.java
    http://www.darkdayssoftware.com/TreeNode.java
    Any Help much appreciated.

    Without wishing to state the obvious, the error message is simply telling you that the two operators cannot be used to make comparisons between objects of that particular class. Remember that Java - unlike C++ - does not support operator overloading so it is not always possible to use all of the operators to perform comparisons between different objects. It is quite likely that you would see a similar message if you tried to compare two Strings using these operators.

  • Method setTabComponentAt () undefined for JTabbedPane

    Guys,
    Has setTabComponentAt been superseeded by 'setComponentAt'?
    I am trying to compile the TabComponentDemo example listed on this website and I get the above error.
    TIA.

    Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum (like you did with your last question).
    The tutorial is written for Java6.

    Now I am calling this method inside my JSP page :

    dataMgr.getNoc(strRppsId)..
    But whenver I am running it locally , it fails to compile and gives following error msg :
    The method getNoc(String) is undefined for the type DataManagerDAOQuite obviously you're calling a method getNoc(String) but that method doesn't exist on the DataManagerDAO class. No matter how much you may think you know that it does, you're wrong and the compiler is right.
    Maybe you misspelled or mis-capitalized something. Maybe you're passing the wrong type of argument. Maybe you're still using an older version of the DataManagerDAO class from before you added that method. Not enough information here to say for sure.
    ny clue wats going wrong in here ?I assume you mean "any", not "ny" and "what's", not "wats". Clear, correct, precise communication counts with folks here almost as much as it does with the Java compiler.

  • Custom iterator problem - The method createChildIterator() is undefined for

    Hi there, this is my first post here, still quite new to Java. I'm having trouble with a custom iterator when trying to test it with JUnit. The reason to write a custom iterator is this: I want to get the object in the array, then for each item I want to get it's child items with a new iterator call.
    It's quite complicated because naturally I'm trying to hide the implementation from the "user". The iterator holds a list of classes called StandardSortElement. Each of these classes holds a class called AvailableResouce
    which in turn holds an AbstractResource, and it's AbstractResource that I want the iterator to return. My JUnit testing shows that this part works correctly.
    For the child items, they are also held inside the StandardSortElement as an array list. Here is the error I get
    "The method createChildIterator() is undefined for the type Iterator<AbstractResource>"
    First here is an interface for the custom iterator:
    public interface SortIteratorInterface extends Iterator<AbstractResource>{
         public abstract Iterator<BookingInterface> createChildIterator();
    }Here is the iterator class:
    public class StandardSortIterator implements SortIteratorInterface {
         ArrayList<StandardSortElement> items;
         Integer position = 0;
         * a constructor that passes in a sorted list of StandardSortElement
         public StandardSortIterator(ArrayList<StandardSortElement> items) {
              this.items = items;
         * Return bookings associated with the currently iterated StandardSortElement
         public Iterator<BookingInterface> createChildIterator() {
              return items.get(position).createBookingIterator();
         * Determine if there is another item in the list
         public boolean hasNext() {
              if (position >= items.size()) {
                   return false;
              } else {
                   return true;
         * Return the next resource in the list. We have a list of StandardSortElement but
         * we want to return the resource within.
         public AbstractResource next() {
              StandardSortElement ssa = items.get(position);                                             // Get a handle on the StandardSortElement     
              AbstractResource ar = ssa.getResource();                                                  // Now get the resource that's packaged up inside
              position++;                                                                                          // Increment the position
              return ar;                                                                                          // return the resource
         * Do not implement - mandatory interface implementation but not required here.
         public void remove() {
              // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    }This is the code taken from the JUnit test class
         * This iterator also has an interal child iterator. Check this works as expected
         @Test
         public void testChildIterator() {
              Iterator<AbstractResource> iterator = new StandardSortIterator(items);
              Integer i = 0;
              while (iterator.hasNext()) {
                   AbstractResource abstractResource = (AbstractResource)iterator.next();
                    if (i.equals(0)) {
                         // The first element should contain children - check it works
                         Iterator<BookingInterface> childIterator = iterator.createChildIterator(); // ERROR OCCURS HERE
                   i++;               
              assertTrue(i.equals(items.size()));
         /************************************************************************************/Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!
    Paul

    Your unit test is coded against the Iterator interface, not your SortIteratorInterface, which is where the createChildIterator method is defined. You need to use a reference to a SortIteratorInterface, not an Iterator. Incidentally, when defining an interface, it's unnecessary to declare the methods as public and abstract. They're implicitly that anyway

  • PreparedStatement.getGeneratedKeys():  undefined for the type PreparedState

    All,
    I'm getting this exception:
    "The method getGeneratedKeys() is undefined for the type PreparedStatement" When I try to run this code:
    Connection con = (Connection)getConnection();
    PreparedStatement stmt = null;
    stmt = con.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO article (title, description, creationDate, createdBy) VALUES (?,?,?,?)");
    stmt.setString(1, title);
    stmt.setString(2, description);
    stmt.setDate(3, creationDate);
    stmt.setInt(4, createdBy);
    stmt.executeUpdate();
    ResultSet rs = stmt.getGeneratedKeys();Javadoc says PreparedStatement inherits getGeneratedKeys() from Statement. Then why does it go wrong?
    Thanks alot!

    No sorry, it is a compile time error.
    But I've solved the problem.
    I'm using WSAD and it was pointing to the wrong rt.jar (the one that comes with WSAD). I've changed it to the sun rt.jar and now it works fine!
    Thanks anyway!

  • Method SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_COMPLETE not allowed for type F

    Hi Gurus
    I have created a webdynpro abap application in which these steps
    1. Application triggers the workflow and workitem got created through FM1.
    2. Workitem loads up webdynpro abap application from portal or outlook by changing settings in SWFVISU transaction.
    3. Application completes the workflow by calling FM2.
    Here FM1 is SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW which returns the workitem id. When I am giving the same workitem id in function module SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_COMPLETE , it is giving me error that Method SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_COMPLETE not allowed for type F
    My workflow has only one activity step which is mapped with class CL_PT_REQ_WF_ATTRIBS and method DUMMY. I have checked the synchronous method.
    Please let me know how can I correct it.
    With regards
    Manu Sharma

    Hi
    You need to give the workitem id of the dialog task which has been configured in SWFVISU. You will get this workitem id via application parameter in your Webdynpro method.
    Wokflow will be completed, if all the steps has been executed

    all properties you see in the property palette are method calls in the code. So for a quick glance this will do it. Beside of this, there are books out there - e.g. from O'Reilly - that cover all components. If this isn't enough, you can get the JavaDocs from the SUN website

  • Non-varargs call of varargs method with inexact argument type for last para

    i have no idea what the error:
    non-varargs call of varargs method with inexact argument type for last parameter
    means.
    return (Component)sceneClass.getConstructor(
    new Class[]{int.class, int.class}).newInstance(
         new Integer[]{new Integer((int)sceneDimension.getWidth()),
                new Integer((int)sceneDimension.getHeight())});
    this is the problem area but i'm not sure how to get around it..
    any help would be appreciated

    I am a Java learner and I got the same warning. My code runs like this:
    import java.lang.reflect.*;
    class Reflec
         public static void main(String[] args)
              if(args.length!=1)
                   return;
              try
                   Class c=Class.forName(args[0]);
                   Constructor[] cons=c.getDeclaredConstructors();
                   Class[] params=cons[0].getParameterTypes();
                   Object[] paramValues=new Object[params.length];
                   for(int i=0; i<params.length; i++)
                        if(params.isPrimitive())
                             paramValues[i]=new Integer(i+3);
                   Object o=cons[0].newInstance(paramValues);
                   Method[] ms=c.getDeclaredMethods();
                   ms[0].invoke(o, null);
              catch(Exception e)
                   e.printStackTrace();
    class Point
         static
              System.out.println("Point class file loaded and an object Point generated£¡");     
         int x, y;
         void output()
              System.out.println("x="+x+"\ny="+y);
         Point(int x, int y)
              this.x=x;
              this.y=y;
    When I compiled the file I got the following:
    Reflec.java:26: warning: non-varargs call of varargs method with inexact argument type for last parameter;
    cast to java.lang.Object for a varargs call
    cast to java.lang.Object[] for a non-varargs call and to suppress this warning
    ms[0].invoke(o, null);
    ^
    1 warning
    Since the problem was with this line "ms[0].invoke(o, null);" and the specific point falls on the last argument as the warning mentioned that " ... method with inexact argument type for last parameter", I simply deleted the argument "null" and the line becomes "ms[0].invoke(o);" and it works, no warning anymore!

  • CompareTo(Object) is undefined for Object

    I'm getting an error -The method compareTo(Object) is undefined for the type Object- with this code:
    public static Object getMinimum (Object[] array)
       Object min = array[0];
       for (int i = 1; i < array.length; i++) {
          if (min.compareTo(array) > 0) {
    min = array[i];
    return min;
    The objects in the array will always implement the Cloneable interface, but they can't use it, as they are treated as Object instances, not as instances of their own class. How can I fix this without using a Comparator?
    Thanks in advance

    Or to be most generic
        public static <T extends Comparable<T>> T getMinimum(T[] array) {
            T min = array[0];
            for (int i = 1; i < array.length; i++) {
                if (min.compareTo(array) > 0) {
    min = array[i];
    return min;
    Of course, the forum software mucks that up,
    it should be
    <T extends Comparable<T>>
