Reference to Number is ambiguous; both class oracle.jbo.domai

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to import the OAF BOPackage oracle.apps.icx.schema.server but I get 480 error messages when trying to make the files. (I have not made any changes yet)
Most of the errors are like:
Error(83,12): reference to Number is ambiguous; both class oracle.jbo.domain.Number in package oracle.jbo.domain and class java.lang.Number in package java.lang match
Is there something wrong in my path Any ideas on how to fix this?
My workaround is to compile the files I need on the server.

Sumit,
This is a common issue, and the cause of this is the decompiler.When decompiler decompiles a class file back to java file, it converts all the null refrences to "null", so, if the java file originally contained
Number n in any method call where n is null, the decompiled java file will contain only null instead of Number n, so when you compile, the java compiler get ambigous refrence, and is not able to decide whether it is javan.lang.number or oracle.jbo.domain.Number.
Karin,
What you need to do is, identify the line where this error is coming, and put a null refrence of the data type. This should solve your problem.I hope i am clear.
