The same code compiles fine with Sun's JDK 1.4.1 compiler. Removing the inner class allows the code to compile fine with OJC.
Is this a known OJC bug?
TIA,
David

It is a known bug that has been fixed in 9.0.4. We don't plan to ship 9.0.4
anytime soon. If you are using 9.0.3, send me an email to
[email protected] and I will send you a workaround. In your email
specify the JDev build number that you are using (please, see
about box).

  • JDev Compiler Error? - Compiling inner classes

    This maybe just an interpretation of the language standard, but the compiler behavaviour is different from previous versions of JDeveloper and other Java IDE's, with no explanation found.
    Using JDeveloper 9.02.829 the following error is received.
    Error(13,9): class test$abc not found in class test.test
    when compiling the following class
    package test;
    public class test
    class abc { }
    public test()
    public void t ()
    abc a = new abc();
    The solution is to ensure the package name and class name are different (case sensitive) iff the class contains an inner class
    Whilst this can be done it can pose a problem porting older code into this release of JDeveloper, whilst no problem exists with other IDE's or older versions of the JDevloper IDE.
    The question is this a bug or a feature?

    This is a bug that got fixed a while back. The bug is with
    the fact that the class and the package have the same name.
    The bug is definitely fixed in 9.0.3 Preview Release which
    is currently available on OTN. 9.0.3 Production should be
    available anyday now.

  • Compiler error when useing switch statements in an inner class

    I have defined several constants in a class and want to use this constans also in an inner class.
    All the constants are defined as private static final int.
    All works fine except when useing the switch statement in the inner class. I get the compiler error ""constant expression required". If I change the definition from private static final to protected static final it works, but why?
    What's the difference?
    Look at an example:
    public class Switchtest
       private static final int AA = 0;     
       protected static final int BB = 1;     
       private static int i = 0;
       public Switchtest()
          i = 0; // <- OK
          switch(i)
             case AA: break; //<- OK, funny no problem
             case BB: break; //<- OK
             default: break;
      private class InnerClass
          public InnerClass()
             i = 0; // <- OK: is accessible
             if (AA == i) // <- OK: AA is seen by the inner class; i  is also accessible
                i = AA + 1;
             switch(i)
                case AA: break; // <- STRANGE?! Fail: Constant expression required
                case BB: break; // <- OK
                default: break;
    }Thank's a lot for an explanation.

    Just a though:
    Maybe some subclass of Switchtest could decalare its own variable AA that is not final, but it can not declare its own BB because it is visible from the superclass. Therefore the compiler can not know for sure that AA is final.

    405 errors in the HTTP cycle
    Any client goes through the following cycle:
    * Obtain an IP address from the IP name of your site (your site URL without the leading 'http://'). This lookup (conversion of IP name to IP address) is provided by domain name servers (DNSs).
    * Open an IP socket connection to that IP address.
    * Write an HTTP data stream through that socket.
    * Receive an HTTP data stream back from your Web server in response. This data stream contains status codes whose values are determined by the HTTP protocol. Parse this data stream for status codes and other useful information.
    This error occurs in the final step above when the client receives an HTTP status code that it recognises as '405'.
    Resolving 405 errors - general
    405 errors often arise with the POST method. You may be trying to introduce some kind of input form on your Web site, but not all ISPs allow the POST method necessary to process the form.
    All 405 errors can be traced to configuration of the Web server and security governing access to the content of the Web site.

  • Trying to serialize inner class and getting various errors.

    Hi, I'm working on a program that contains the inner class User. user implements serializable, and writes just fine. For some strange reason, though, after I read it, I keep getting NullPointerExceptions in my code.
    I also tried it using externalization. The User class is essentially built around a HashMap. I have the following methods:
    public void writeExternal(ObjectOutput out) throws IOException {
    out.writeObject(mainMap);
    public void readExternal(ObjectInput in) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
    mainMap = (Map) in.readObject();
    String test = (String) in.readObject();
    Whenever inputstream.readObject() is called, though, I get an InvalidClassException; "no valid constructor." The sad part is that I have the method:
    public User () {
    main = new HashMap();
    Does anyone know what the problem is??? Thanks a lot!

    Does anyone know what the problem is???The inner class is not a static inner class. Therefore your constructor User, is actually User(OuterClass). Solution - make the class static OR use read and/or write resolution to reconstruct the relationship.

  • BUG: Oracle Java Compiler bug with anonymous inner classes in constructor

    The following code compiles and runs just fine using 1.4.2_07, 1.5.0_07 and 1.6.0_beta2 when compiling and running from the command-line.
    It does not run when compiling from JDeveloper 10.1.3.36.73 (which uses the ojc.jar).
    When compiled from JDeveloper, the JRE (both the embedded one or the external 1.5.0_07 one) reports the following error:
    java.lang.VerifyError: (class: com/ids/arithmeticexpr/Scanner, method: <init> signature: (Ljava/io/Reader;)V) Expecting to find object/array on
    stack
    Here's the code:
    /** lexical analyzer for arithmetic expressions.
    Fixes the lookahead problem for TT_EOL.
    public class Scanner extends StreamTokenizer
    /** kludge: pushes an anonymous Reader which inserts
    a space after each newline.
    public Scanner( Reader r )
    super( new FilterReader( new BufferedReader( r ) )

    addSpace = ch == '\n';
    return ch;
    public static void main( String[] args )
    Scanner scanner = new Scanner( new StringReader("1+2") ); // !!!
    Removing the (implicit) reference to 'this' in the call to super() by passing an instance of a static inner class 'Kludge' instead of the anonymous subclass of FilterReader fixes the error. The code will then run even when compiled with ojc. There seems to be a bug in ojc concerning references to the partially constructed object (a bug which which is not present in the reference compilers.)

    Thanks Sebastian, I filed a bug for OJC, and I'll look at the Javac bug. Either way, OJC should either give an error or create correct code.

  • Problem with Outer and Inner Classes....or better way?

    Right now I'm trying to create an Inner class.
    My .java file compiles ok, and I create my jar file too.
    But when I try to instantiate the Inner class, it fails:
    java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/myco/vlXML/vlXML$vlDocument.
    Here's the class code:
    public class vlXML{
        private ArrayList myDocList=new ArrayList(); //holds documents
        public vlXML(){
        private class vlDocument{
            public vlDocument(){
            //stuff goes here
        public vlDocument vlDOC(){
            return new vlDocument();
        public void addDocument(){
            vlXML xxx=new vlXML();
            vlDocument myDoc=xxx.vlDOC();
            myDocList.add(myDoc);
        public int getNumDocs(){
            return myDocList.size();
    }Then, from a jsp page, I call:
    vlXML junk1=new vlXML();
    junk1.addDocument();...and get the error...
    Can someone help me figure out why it's failing?
    Thanks....

    You nailed it - thanks....(duh!)
    While I have your attention, if you don't mind, I have another question.
    I'm creating a Class (outer) that allows my users to write a specific XML file (according to my own schema).
    Within the XML file, they can have multiple instances of certain tags, like "Document". "Document"s can have multiple fields.
    Since I don't know how many "Documents" they may want, I was planning on using an Inner Class of "Document", and then simply letting them "add" as many as necessary (thus the original code posted here).
    Does that seem like an efficient (logical/reasonable) methodology,
    or is there there something better?
    Thanks Again...

  • Problem with final variables and inner classes

  • Problem with final variables and inner classes (JDK1.1.8)

    When using JDK1.1.8, I came up with following:
    public class Outer
        protected final int i;
        protected Inner inner = null;
        public Outer(int value)
            i = value;
            inner = new Inner();
            inner.foo();
        protected class Inner
            public void foo()
                System.out.println(i);
    }causing this:
    Outer.java:6: Blank final variable 'i' may not have been initialized. It must be assigned a value in an initializer, or in every constructor.
    public Outer(int value)
    ^
    1 error
    With JDK 1.3 this works just fine, as it does with 1.1.8 if
    1) I don't use inner class, or
    2) I assign the value in initializer, or
    3) I leave the keyword final away.
    and none of these is actually an option for me, neither using a newer JDK, if only there is another way to solve this.
    Reasons why I am trying to do this:
    1) I can't use a newer JDK
    2) I want to be able to assign the variables value in constructor
    3) I want to prevent anyone (including myself ;)) from changing the value in other parts of the class (yes, the code above is just to give you the idea, not the whole code)
    4) I must be able to use inner classes
    So, does anyone have a suggestion how to solve this problem of mine? Or can someone say that this is a JDK 1.1.8 feature, and that I just have to live with it? In that case, sticking to solution 3 is probably the best alternative here, at least for me (and hope that no-one will change the variables value). Or is it crappy planning..?

    You cannot use a final field if you do not
    initialize it at the time of declaration. So yes,
    your design is invalid.Sorry if I am being a bit too stubborn or something. :) I am just honestly a bit puzzled, since... If I cannot use a final field in an aforementioned situation, why does following work? (JDK 1.3.1 on Linux)
    public class Outer {
            protected final String str;
            public Outer(String paramStr) {
                    str = paramStr;
                    Inner in = new Inner();
                    in.foo();
            public void foo() {
                    System.out.println("Outer.foo(): " + str);
            public static void main( String args[] ) {
                    String param = new String("This is test.");
                    Outer outer = new Outer(param);
                    outer.foo();
            protected class Inner {
                    public void foo() {
                            System.out.println("Inner.foo(): " + str);
    } producing the following:
    [1:39] % javac Outer.java
    [1:39] % java Outer
    Inner.foo(): This is test.
    Outer.foo(): This is test.
    Is this then an "undocumented feature", working even though it shouldn't work?
    However, I assume you could
    get by with eliminating the final field and simply
    passing the value directly to the Inner class's
    constructor. if not, you'll have to rethink larger
    aspects of your design.I guess this is the way it must be done.

  • Threaded inner classes & heap memory exhaustion

    execution are not dying.maybe. but this is the way i test a thread's life:
    public void run() {
    System.out.println("thread start");
    System.out.println("thread dies and release memory");
    }for each inner thread, and the outer thread, this approach for
    testing thread life reveals that they die.
    Why don't you use a thread pool?ok. i will think about how to do this.
    >
    If not, you need to ensure those inner threads have
    exited and completed.what is a 100% sure check to guarantee a thread exits other than
    the one i use above?
    note:
    the outer thread is running on a remote host, and the inner threads
    are running locally. here are the details:
    public class BB implements Runnable, FinInterface {
      public void run() {
        // do some work on the remote machine
      private void startResultsHandler(OisXoos oisX) {
         ResultHandler rh = new ResultHandler(oisX);
         rh.start();
      public void startDataProxy(OisXoos oisX, String query) {
         DataProxy dp = new DataProxy(oisX, query);
         dp.start();
            public class ResultsHandler extends Thread {
               // runs locally; waits for results from servers
               public void run() {
                   ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(oisX.input);
                    Set result = (Set) ois.readObject();
            }  // ____ class :: _ ResultsHandler _ :: class ____
           public class DataProxy extends Thread {
               // runs locally; performs db queries on behalf of servers
               public void run() {
                   ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(oisX.output);
                    while(moreData) {
                        .... // sql queries
                        oos.writeObject(data);
                 StartResultsHandler(oisX);
            } // _____ class  :: _ DataProxy _ :: class _____
    }now, the BB class is not started locally.
    the inner threads are started locally to both service data requests
    by the BB thread as well as wait for its results.
    (_) so, maybe the inner threads cannot exit (but they sure look
    like they exit) until their parent BB thread exits.
    (_) yet, those inner threads have no knowledge that the BB
    thread is running.
    externalizing those inner thread classes will put 2-weeks of work
    in the dust bin. i want to keep them internal.
    thanks.
    here this piece of code that controls everything:
    while(moreData) {
      FinObjects finObj = new BB();
      String symb = (String) data_ois.readObject();
      OisXoos oisX = RSAdmin.getServer();
      oisX.xoos.writeObject(finObj);
      finObj.startDataProxy(finObj, oisX, symb);
    }

  • How to call inner class method in one java file from another java file?

    hello guyz, i m tryin to access an inner class method defined in one class from another class... i m posting the code too wit error. plz help me out.
    // test1.java
    public class test1
         public test1()
              test t = new test();
         public class test
              test()
              public int geti()
                   int i=10;
                   return i;
    // test2.java
    class test2
         public static void main(String[] args)
              test1 t1 = new test1();
              System.out.println(t1.t.i);
    i m getting error as
    test2.java:7: cannot resolve symbol
    symbol : variable t
    location: class test1
              System.out.println(t1.t.geti());
    ^

    There are various ways to define and use nested classes. Here is a common pattern. The inner class is private but implements an interface visible to the client. The enclosing class provides a factory method to create instances of the inner class.
    interface I {
        void method();
    class Outer {
        private String name;
        public Outer(String name) {
            this.name = name;
        public I createInner() {
            return new Inner();
        private class Inner implements I {
            public void method() {
                System.out.format("Enclosing object's name is %s%n", name);
    public class Demo {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            Outer outer = new Outer("Otto");
            I junior = outer.createInner();
            junior.method();
    }

  • Static inner class causes deployment  on OC4J 10.1.2 to fail

    Hi,
    this issue has already been raised on OC4J 9.0.4 with J2SDK 1.4.2 (see EJB fails to compile - static inner class problem
    Recap: When referencing static inner classes in an EJB, the deployment fails. During the generation of the wrapper classes, a signature <package>.<outer class>.<inner class> gets converted to <package>.<outer class>$<inner class>, which is syntactically wrong. While the Java 1.4.1 compiler kindly ignores this syntax error, its 1.4.2 counterpart complains - and fails.
    @Oracle: When will this bug be fixed for OC4J 10.1.2?
    Best regards,
    Holger

    Holger,
    Don't static inner classes contradict the EJB specification?
    In any case, in answer to Andy's question: If you wish to file this as a bug, you can do so via the MetaLink Web site.
    [In fact, [i]MetaLink is your only option for submitting bugs for Oracle products -- as far as I know.]
    Good Luck,
    Avi.

  • Why only final variables can be accessed in an inner class ?

    Variables declared in a method need to declared as final if they are to be accessed in an inner class which resides in that method. My question is...
    1. Why should i declare them as final ? What's the reason?
    2. If i declare them as final, could they be modified in inner class ? since final variables should not modify their value.

    (Got an error posting this, so I hope we don't end up with two...)
    But what if i want to change the final local variable within that method instead of within anonymous class.You can't. You can't change the value of a final variable.
    Should i use same thing like having another local variable as part of method and initializing it with the final local variable?You could do. But as in the first example I posted you are changing the value of the nonfinal variable not the final one. Because final variables can't be changed.
    If so, don't you think it is redundant to have so many local variables for so many final local variables just to change them within that method?If you are worried that a variable might be redundant, don't create it. If you must create it to meet some need then it's not redundant.
    Or is there any alternate way?Any alternate way to do what?
