Need help with "class file contains wrong class"

I have a dbUtil package as
package dbUtil;
public class dbConfig {
public String getHost(String db) {
This file called dbConfig.java has been compiled with -d option and rthe class files resides in dir <install_dir>/webapps/test/WEB-INF/classes/eb/dbUtil/
I have a jsp file in <install_dir>/webapps/test/test.jsp which imports the dbUtil package
<%@ page import="eb.dbUtil.dbConfig" %>
and I am getting this error:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
An error occurred at line: -1 in the jsp file: null
Generated servlet error:

class file contains wrong class: dbUtil.dbConfig
Please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the classpath.
import eb.dbUtil.dbConfig;
^
1 error
Can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong? I am using tomcat 4.1
Thanks!
L.

Given your java file, the fully qualified name of the class is dbUtil.dbConfig.
What you are importing is eb.dbUtil.dbConfig
These things are not the same.
The root of the classpath for the webapp is the classes directory.
So either
1 - specify dbConfig.java to be in package eb.dbUtil
2 - move the class file into web-inf/classes/dbUtil/dbConfig.class, and import dbUtil.dbConfig.
Also, by convention, classnames should start with a capital letter ie dbUtil.DbConfig.

Need help with classes

I''ve just started out with Java and I need help with my latest program.
The program looks someting like this:
public class MultiServer {
   public static void main(Straing[] args) {
      ServerGUI GUI = new ServerGUI();
public class ServerGUI extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
   private TextArea textArea;
   public ServerGUI() {
      //setting up the JFrame and stuff like that
   public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {

         addGUI add = new addGUI();
public class addGUI extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
    private TextField t1 = new TextField(25);
    public addGUI() {
      //setting up the JFrame and stuff like that
   public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
      if(button == printButton) {
         textArea.append("THIS DOES NOT WORK!");
}   The problem is as follows: I want to be able to write text in the textArea in class ServerGUI from the class addGUI, but I can't. I hope you understand what I mean.
How is this fixed? Please help me!

Need help with connecting file inputs to arrays

In this assignment I have a program that will do the following: display a list of names inputed by the user in reverse order, display any names that begin with M or m, and display any names with 5 or more letters. This is all done with arrays.
That was the fun part. The next part requires me to take the names from a Notepad file, them through the arrays and then output them to a second Notepad file.
Here is the original program: (view in full screen so that the code doesn't get jumbled)
import java.io.*;       //Imports the Java library
class progB                    //Defines class
    public static void main (String[] arguments) throws IOException

        InputStreamReader reader;                                 // Allows the program to
        reader = new InputStreamReader (System.in);               // read the the keyboard
        keyboard = new BufferedReader (reader);                  //<-
        String name;                 //Assigns the name variable which will be parsed into...

        int order = 0;              //The integer variable that will be used to set the array size
        String[] array;             //Dynamic array (empty)

}The notepad file contains the following names:
jim
laruie
tim
timothy
manny
joseph
matty
amanda
I have tried various methods but the one thing that really gets me is the fact that i can't find a way to connect the names to the arrays. Opening the file with FileInputStream is easy enough but using the names and then outputing them is quite hard. (unless i'm thinking too hard and there really is a simple method)

By "connect", do you just mean you want to put the names into an array?
array[0] = "jim"
array[1] = "laruie"
and so on?
That shouldn't be difficult at all, provided you know how to open a file for reading, and how to read a line of text from it. You can just read the line of text, put it in the array position you want, until the file is exhausted. Then open a file for writing, loop through the array, and write a line.
What part of all that do you need help with?

Need Help with .nnlp File.............A.S.A.P.

I'm having a problem also with my JNLP file. I have downloaded the program onto one computer and that computer is using j2re1.4.2_04
The other computers I believe are all running j2re 1.4.2_05
I'm not sure if that's make a difference, but on the computer with j2re 1.4.2_05 when going to the site where the .jnlp file is located, the application comes up and says Starting Application. After it gets to that screen it just stays there. I really need help with this as soon as possible.

This was due to a change in 1.4.2_05
the main class attribute
main-class="com/asisoftware/placewiz/loader/Exec">is wrong - it should be:
main-class="com.asisoftware.placewiz.loader.Exec">this didnt seem to mater before 1.4.2_05, but some change in java since then caused this bad class specification to stop loading.

Need help with class design

I want to design and use one or more classes for a particular project I am working on.
I need some advice hopefully from someone who has experience in this area. Basically,
for this particular problem I have two database tables. I want the first class to
represent the first database table and the second class to represent the second
database table. An object of the first class will be created first, and then if certain
criteria are met then an object of the second class will be created.
Question:
Should I use classical inheritance and let the first class inherit from the second class?
Or should I use the containment delegation model and embed an object of the second
class in the first class?
----Tables------
For example, my first table ET_UserData looks something like this:
ET_UserData
(PK)UserName
Password
FirstName
LastName
My second table ET_DetailedUserData looks like this
ET_DetailedUserData
(FK)UserName
WorkAddress
WorkPhoneNumber
CityWhereEmployed
SocialSecurityNumber
City
State
StreetAdress
PrimaryTelephoneNumber
AlternatePhoneNumber
HasRegistered
RegistrationDate
RegistrationTime
CreditCardNumber
NameOfPrimaryContact
DateOfBirth
Weight
EyeColor
Height
Member
Here is are some pseudo classes for the two classes.
Class UserData
string UserName
string FirstName
string LastName
Class DetailedUserData /* For a classical approach, sub class off of class UserData */
/* UserData ThisUser --> Containment delegation model */
string (FK)UserName
string WorkAddress
string WorkPhoneNumber
string CityWhereEmployed
string SocialSecurityNumber
string City
string State
string StreetAdress
Int PrimaryTelephoneNumber
Int AlternatePhoneNumber
Bool HasRegistered
Int RegistrationDate
Int RegistrationTime
Int CreditCardNumber
String NameOfPrimaryContact
Int DateOfBirth
Int Weight
Int EyeColor
Int Height
bool Member
}

Thank you for your help. If you can continue to help me I would appreciate it.
I and another developer did the database design. Pretty solid design. Plus we have all of the requirements
which are very good too.
Originally I wanted just one table to contain all of the data associated with a user. Instead of ET_UserData and ET_Detailed user data I wanted just one table. But I decided to break this table up into the two tables for the following reason.
1.) This is a web application where each user logs into a web form. At a minimum, in order to use the website the session associated with each user needs the UserName, Password, First and last name.
This is the data in the first table.
If they choose to do more specialized functions on this website, then they will need all of the information (Attributes) that are located in the second table. In general 40% of the time all users will need information located in the second table.
My reasoning for breaking the table into two seperate tables is that I wanted to minimize the amount of data involved in a result set, created from the sql query. The math tells me that 60% of the time most of the data in the result set will not be used.
2.) If I create one class to represent all of the data/attributes in both tables, then my reasoning is that their will be alot of overhead in the single class because 60% of the time, a majority of the attributes are not needed and used.
I would deeply appreciate your help with this. You seem to have great insight and advice. Please help me as I increase the duke dollars Sir.

Where to start? Need help with classes

My question involves those classes he wants us to make. I don't really get the concept of classes, so could someone tell me what they think he wants us to do? And try to explain it to me in terms I might be able to understand. Does that mean for us to use subclasses or use separate files for each class? Or could I do either? I'm so confused :(
Assignment: Write a program that consists of the classes listed below.
Player Class: The Player Class consists of at least two elements -- the player name and a list of scores for
games. The score attribute is not used in Program #3 but will be needed in Program #4. Include in the
class appropriate accessor and mutator methods for each element in the class. You may have other
attributes if needed.
Team Class: The Team class consists of at least 6 elements -- the name of the team and five players from
the Player class. Include in the class appropriate accessor and mutator methods for each element in the
class. You may have other attributes if needed.
Course Syllabus Page 3
Input3 class: The Input3 class is provided for you. The Input3 class supplies data for your program. The
Input3 class has a public method called getNextString, which returns a string with the input for your
program, one after the other. You must use this class to get the data for your program. See Input3.java on
WebCT to understand the class construction.
Your program should display the roster of each team in alphabetical order by last name.
This is the Input3 that he gave us to work with if anyone needs to see it:
public class Input3
     private String[] input = new String[40];
     private static int StringNum = -1;
     public static final int NUMBER_OF_TEAMS = 3;
     public static final int NUMBER_OF_PLAYERS = 5;
     public Input3()
          //The first six inputs will be for the first team
          input[0] = "LAKERS";
          input[1] = "Kobe Bryant";
          input[2] = "Derek Fisher";
          input[3] = "Shaquille O'Neal";
          input[4] = "Karl Malone";
          input[5] = "Brian Cook";
          //The next six inputs will be for the second team
          input[6] = "MAVERICKS";
          input[7] = "Antoine Walker";
          input[8] = "Dirk Nowitzki";
          input[9] = "Tony Delk";
          input[10] = "Shawn Bradley";
          input[11] = "Travis Best";
          //The next six inputs will be for the third team
          input[12] = "KNICKS";
          input[13] = "Mike Sweetney";
          input[14] = "Allan Houston";
          input[15] = "Howard Eisley";
          input[16] = "Kurt Thomas";
          input[17] = "Shanon Anderson";
     //This method returns the strings one after the other.
     public String getNextString()
          StringNum++;
          return input[StringNum];
}<br>

Thanks

You could put the classes in separate files, but it's not necessary. They wouldn't be called 'subclasses' here, as that word is specific to inheritance, which you don't need here. Here's an example of using multiple classes:
public class MainClass {
    public static void main(String [] args) {
     OtherClass1 oc1 = new OtherClass1(3);
     OtherClass2 oc2 = new OtherClass2("hello");
     System.out.println("" + oc1.getInt());
     System.out.println(oc2.getString());
class OtherClass1 {
    int someInt;
    public OtherClass1(int i) {
        someInt = i;
    public getInt() {
     return someInt;
class OtherClass2 {
    String someString;
    public OtherClass2(String s) {
        someString = s;
    public getString() {
        return someString;
}and like BDLH said above, it's preferred to put them in separate files. Just make sure the file name is EXACTLY the same as the class name, followed by .java

I need help with viewing files from the external hard drive on Mac

I own a 2010 mac pro 13' and using OS X 10.9.2(current version). The issue that I am in need of help is with my external hard drive.
I am a photographer so It's safe and convinent to store pictures in my external hard drive.
I have 1TB external hard drive and I've been using for about a year and never dropped it or didn't do any thing to harm the hardware.
Today as always I connected the ext-hard drive to my mac and click on the icon.
All of my pictures and files are gone accept one folder that has program.
So I pulled up the external hard drive's info it says the date is still there, but somehow i can not view them in the finder.
I really need help how to fix this issue!

you have a notebook, there is a different forum.
redundancy for files AND backups, and even cloud services
so a reboot with shift key and verify? Recovery mode
but two or more drives.
a backup, a new data drive, a drive for recovery using Data Rescue III
A drive can fail and usually not if, only when
and is it bus powered or not

Need help with backup files made by HP Recovery.

So in 2011 I had made a post about a DV9 series HP laptop I had that I felt needed a harddrive. Well the laptop has been sold to a friend of mine and he has since fixed the issue it had. My curent deboggle is trying to deal with the 36GB of data it backed up onto an external USB powered harddrive. The information was saved from a system that ran Windows VISTA, on that same DV9 Pavilion. I have a new laptop and it's a Pavilion DV6 running windows 7. Is there some sort of 3rd party application or an uncommon HP utility that can open, run or modify. Specificaly I need to some files but not all, but if my only option is to extract all then that would be fine also. There is an executible in the backup folder but it doesn't extract anything it just locks up.
For the TLR portion, need to access backup files made on an older HP laptop with windows vista to a newer HP latop running windows 7.

Terribly sorry for the post, I should have researched more before posting. I found the answer to my issue in another thread here on the HP forums! Thanks so much!!

Need help with fla.file

Hi!
I'm always having trouble with a fla.file in cs3 professional. Every time i try to reopen the file in flash i get this:
failed to open document/users.desktop/jason/social.fla
pls help reopen this file
jay

create a new directory and move your fla there and try and open. if that fails, change the file's name and try and reopen. if that fails and you created the fla, it's probably corrupt.

Need help with Class-Path and NCDFE

This isn't a new issue, but I'm getting a variation of a problem a lot of people seem to have had. I was hoping someone out there can help me out.
I have a jar file (imex.jar) sitting in c:\temp\imextest. I also have another jar file, commons-cli-1.0.jar sitting in c:\temp\imextest\lib.
I want to run the jar in a standalone manner. My manifest has the following entries.
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.5.3
Created-By: 1.4.2_01-b06 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Main-Class: com.foo.imex.DirectoryImportExport
Class-Path: lib/commons-cli-1.0.jar
I am invoking it using the following command (from c:\temp\imextest)
java -jar imex.jar -i -f c:\matt\RRBus\jiyun.xml -v
I get this result:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/cli/ParseException
It seems to me that I have my directory structure and manifest set up correctly, but maybe I don't (as it's not working). Does anyone see what I'm doing wrong here? (the "missing" class is in commons-cli-1.0.jar).
Thanks,
Matt

perhaps jar file needed for parsing is not there in classpath...set it...in the classpath..

Need help with class info and cannot find symbol error.

I having problems with a cannot find symbol error. I cant seem to figure it out.
I have about 12 of them in a program I am trying to do. I was wondering if anyone could help me out?
Here is some code I am working on:
// This will test the invoice class application.
// This program involves a hardware store's invoice.
//import java.util.*;
public class InvoiceTest
     public static void main( String args[] )
     Invoice invoice1 = new Invoice( "1234", "Hammer", 2, 14.95 );
// display invoice1
     System.out.println("Original invoice information" );
     System.out.println("Part number: ", invoice1.getPartNumber() );
     System.out.println("Description: ", invoice1.getPartDescription() );
     System.out.println("Quantity: ", invoice1.getQuantity() );
     System.out.println("Price: ", invoice1.getPricePerItem() );
     System.out.println("Invoice amount: ", invoice1.getInvoiceAmount() );
// change invoice1's data
     invoice1.setPartNumber( "001234" );
     invoice1.setPartDescription( "Yellow Hammer" );
     invoice1.setQuantity( 3 );
     invoice1.setPricePerItem( 19.49 );
// display invoice1 with new data
     System.out.println("Updated invoice information" );
     System.out.println("Part number: ", invoice1.getPartNumber() );
     System.out.println("Description: ", invoice1.getPartDescription() );
     System.out.println("Quantity: ", invoice1.getQuantity() );
     System.out.println("Price: ", invoice1.getPricePerItem() );
     System.out.println("Invoice amount: ", invoice1.getInvoiceAmount() );
and that uses this class file:
public class Invoice
private String partNumber;
private String partDescription;
private int quantityPurchased;
private double pricePerItem;
     public Invoice( String ID, String desc, int purchased, double price )
          partNumber = ID;
     partDescription = desc;
     if ( purchased >= 0 )
     quantityPurchased = purchased;
     if ( price > 0 )
     pricePerItem = price;
public double getInvoiceAmount()
     return quantityPurchased * pricePerItem;

Any tips for helping me out?

System.out.println("Part number:
"+invoice1.getPartNumber;
The + sign will concatenate invoice1.getPartNumber()
after "Part number: " forming only one String.I added the plus sign and it gives me more errors:

Need help with class I'm trying to write for school

Hi,I'm taking my first Java class, and we're learning how to write classes. I've got MOST of the program and class to work, but I'm still having trouble with it.
In the class I wrote, if I delete the "getWindTempF(strAlt)" the program runs fine, other than not doing the conversion to Fahrenheit. So, I'm guessing that there's a problem with my getWindTempF method. However, it is almost exactly a duplicate of my getWindTempC method, so I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. The errors I get when I keep the "getWindTempF(strAlt)" in the prtWindInfo method are:
java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: " "
     at java.lang.NumberFormatException.forInputString(NumberFormatException.java:48)
     at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:426)
     at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:476)
     at NWSFD.getWindTempF(NWSFD.java:94)
     at NWSFD.prtWindInfo(NWSFD.java:162)
     at a19004.main(a19004.java:30)
Exception in thread "main"
----jGRASP wedge2: exit code for process is 1.
Again, the program and class work perfectly except for the getWindTempF. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, and sorry for such a long post
Here is the main program:
import cs1.Keyboard;
import java.text.NumberFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
public class a19004
     // Instantiates the windsAloft object by using the NWSFD class
     public static void main (String[] args)
          final String FAA_FD="SAN 1405 2908+26 2911+19 2809+11 1307-09 0308-20 " +
          "032433 012543 352853";
          NWSFD windsAloft = new NWSFD(FAA_FD);     //Instantiate the NWSFD object
          System.out.println ("Winds Aloft");
          System.out.println ("as of " + windsAloft.getDate());
          System.out.println ("");
          System.out.println ("STA Alt Dir Speed TempC TempF");
          System.out.println ("");
          System.out.println (windsAloft.prtWindInfo("03"));
          System.out.println (windsAloft.prtWindInfo("06"));
          System.out.println (windsAloft.prtWindInfo("09"));
          System.out.println (windsAloft.prtWindInfo("12"));
          System.out.println (windsAloft.prtWindInfo("18"));
          System.out.println (windsAloft.prtWindInfo("24"));
          System.out.println (windsAloft.prtWindInfo("30"));
          System.out.println (windsAloft.prtWindInfo("34"));
          System.out.println (windsAloft.prtWindInfo("39"));
And for the sake of brevity, just a part of the NWSFD class:
import java.text.*;
import java.util.Date;
public class NWSFD
     // Set up variables
     private String strWea;
     // 3.a. Constructor
     public NWSFD (String strVar)

     // 3.d.
     public String getWindTempC (String strAlt)
          String strVar;
          strVar = strWea.substring(getPos(strAlt) + 4, getPos(strAlt) + 7);
          if (strAlt.equals("03"))
               strVar = strWea.substring(getPos(strAlt) +4, getPos(strAlt) + 5);
          if (strAlt.equals("30"))
               strVar = "-" + strWea.substring(getPos(strAlt) +4, getPos(strAlt) + 6);
          if (strAlt.equals("34"))
               strVar = "-" + strWea.substring(getPos(strAlt) +4, getPos(strAlt) + 6);
          if (strAlt.equals("39"))
               strVar = "-" + strWea.substring(getPos(strAlt) +4, getPos(strAlt) + 6);
          if (strVar.equals(" "))
               strVar = "N/A";
          return strVar;
     // 3.ed.
     public String getWindTempF (String strAlt)
          String strVar;
          String strFar;
          int intRet;
          int intFar;
          strFar = strWea.substring(getPos(strAlt) + 5, getPos(strAlt) + 7);
          if (strAlt.equals("03"))
               strFar = strWea.substring(getPos(strAlt) +4, getPos(strAlt) + 5);
          if (strAlt.equals("30"))
               strFar = "-" + strWea.substring(getPos(strAlt) +4, getPos(strAlt) + 6);
          if (strAlt.equals("34"))
               strFar = "-" + strWea.substring(getPos(strAlt) +4, getPos(strAlt) + 6);
          if (strAlt.equals("39"))
               strFar = "-" + strWea.substring(getPos(strAlt) +4, getPos(strAlt) + 6);
          if (strFar.equals(" "))
               strVar = "N/A";
          intRet = Integer.parseInt(strFar);
          intFar = intRet * (9/5) + 32;
          strVar = Integer.toString(intRet++);
          return strVar;
     // 3.h.
     public String prtWindInfo (String strAlt)
          String strRet;
          strRet = strWea.substring(0,3) + " " + strAlt + "000" + " " +
               getWindDir(strAlt) + " " + getWindSpeed(strAlt) + " " +
               getWindTempC(strAlt) + "C " + getWindTempF(strAlt) + "F";
          return strRet;
}

Thank you for the reply, soni29. here is the code:
public int getPos(String strAlt)
          int intAlt;
          int intRet;
          intAlt = Integer.parseInt(strAlt);
          switch (intAlt)
               case 3:
                    intRet = 4;
                    break;
               case 6:
                    intRet = 9;
                    break;
               case 9:
                    intRet = 17;
                    break;
               case 12:
                    intRet = 25;
                    break;
               case 18:
                    intRet = 33;
                    break;
               case 24:
                    intRet = 41;
                    break;
               case 30:
                    intRet = 49;
                    break;
               case 34:
                    intRet = 56;
                    break;
               default:
                    intRet = 63;
          } //     Close switch
          return intRet;
However, I really don't think there's a problem with any of the coding there. The only times I have problems with the program is when I'm trying to display the data from getWindTempF. If I omit that method, the program works perfectly. Basically, what the program is supposed to do, is hand a string (FAA_FD) to the NWSFD class, which then extracts data from it. Thank you again for the help...any other advice?

Need help with class object? Please somoen

hey guys,
It's been few days since i'm working on making a small bingogame program but i'm getting stuck frequantly.
I've different classes, in the main class i'm asking the user to input number of players who would like to play then i'm asking the player's name and how many bingoCards each player wants.
I'm stroing all that info in a BingoPlayer class's array object. But for some reason when i get out from the loop and try to retrive the info from that array it only gives me the last input entry (player's name & number of cards) at any index of the array.
Can please someone tell me how i can store the given information for each player in that object array on different indices of the array?
I'm providing the code where i've the problems:
public class BingoGame
    public static BingoPlayer players[] = new BingoPlayer[5];
    public static void main() throws IOException {
        int numPlayers = 0;
        int numCards [] = new int [5];
        String name [] = new String[4];
        BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader(System.in)); //allows input
// ask for the number players who wants to play
        System.out.print("Please enter the number of players in this game (2-5): ");
        numPlayers = Integer.parseInt(input.readLine());
// make sure the entered value is within range
        while (numPlayers < 2 || numPlayers > 5) {
            System.out.println("Invalid number of players ");
            System.out.print("Please enter the number of players in this game (2-5): ");
            numPlayers = Integer.parseInt(input.readLine());
        System.out.println();
//ask for the names and numebr of cards for entered number of players
// and make sure the number of cards are within the range,
//and assign the players that many cards using the BingoPlayer object
        for (int i = 1; i <= numPlayers; i++) {
            System.out.print("Please enter name of player " + i + " : ");
            name[i] = input.readLine();
            System.out.println();
            System.out.print("Please enter the number of cards (1-5) for player " + i + " : ");
            numCards[i] = Integer.parseInt(input.readLine());
            while (numCards[i] < 1 || numCards[i] > 5) {
                System.out.println("Invalid number of cards for the player " + i);
                System.out.print("Please enter the number of cards (1-5) for player " + i + " : ");
                numCards[i] = Integer.parseInt(input.readLine());
            System.out.println();
            players[i] = new BingoPlayer(name, numCards[i]);
* here it only prints out the information for the last player, instead it should return the information for both of the player
for (int k = 1; k <= numPlayers; k ++) {
System.out.println(players[k]);
//players[k].genCards();
for example if i enter 2 players:
Player1: name: Jami, number of cards 1
Player2: name: Joey, number of cards 2
in the last loop it just prints out :"Joey, 2" 2 times instead of printing out: "Jami, 1" & "Joey, 2"
Please someone help! i really need to complete this within 2 days. Thanks in advance

Without seeing BingoPlayer's implementation, all it
would be would be a guess.
My guess: The name and numCards members of that class
are declared as static, so all instances share the
same values.Thanks it worked, declaring them static was the main probelm..thank you very much
