Return type for count queries

Hello,
My entity manager executes a native query for a count(*) operation to get the row count from a table. But I am confused to see that while executing I get different datatypes such BigInteger, BigDecimal etc on different runs of the same query. Why is this so?
What is the deciding factor for count queries data type??
Please help....

The whole point of a constructor is to create an object on the heap and return a reference to that memory block. In fact the call to the constructor will return a reference to the instantiated object. Thus there is no point in specifying a return type to a constructor.
If you think about the way we call the constructor then it's obvious that it's not a regular method which goes inside an object.
Hope this will do what you want :)

Non-void return type for Application Module Clients Interface

Hello, can anyone guide me on how will I solve my problem.
first of all, I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.3, I use JSF, ADF Faces, ADF Model, ADF Business Components.
I made a web page that has a Transactional Capabilities, all is going smoothly, all data's can be saved to oracle database. I created a Custom Method in my Application Module and can be used in Clients Interface, that method is for saving data's to database.
My problem is I dont know how to create a custom method that returns a value in my Application Module. Which means if I set it to non-void return type, it is not visible to Client Interface. If you're going to ask me why I need it to return a value? Well since that method is for saving data's, if there's an Error Occured, I can return the Error Message and show it to my user interface.
Please help. thanks

If you want to return your own type then simply define it as serializable and you will find that it will appear in the Client Interface dialog of your AM.
eg, you could return this type from your application module to progagate a meaningful message to your UI:
package com.delexian.model;
import java.io.Serializable;
public class MyMessage implements Serializable {
    private String _severity;
    private String _message;
    public MyMessage() {
    public void setSeverity(String severity) {
        this._severity = severity;
    public String getSeverity() {
        return _severity;
    public void setMessage(String message) {
        this._message = message;
    public String getMessage() {
        return _message;
}regards,

Return type for a PL?SQL function

Hi,
I am trying to register a PL/SQL function with discoverer which returns more than one numerical values. What return type should i use for this function....cant see an array or something like it from the Diccover end, when I try to register it.
Please help.
-S

S.
If you create a function, then you can pass in parameters but only return one value for the function.
That return datatype cannot be an array, but just one value (ie: varchar, number, etc.).

What is the default return type for a constructor

I tried and found out that it should not be void, what is it? I am confused. Any clue? thanks

constructors do not have return types. it is implicit that it is initializing a newly created object of the class of which it is a member.

Best way to handle Interface Return Type for Web Service Method

Hi All,
i have the followinig situation. I would like to create a method as a web service:
Customer getCustomer(someType){....}
ie: getCustomer method, with a parameter that indicates some backend data source. The method returns a Customer object. However, depending on the datasource this method uses (which is dependent on the type passed in, ie FooDB, BarDB etc) then i return either a:
FooCustomer extends AbstractCustomer implements Customer
BarCustomer extends AbstractCustomer implements Customer
Now this fails because JAXB cant handle interfaces because when sending XML over the wire it needs a concrete representation (as far as i understand).
So how should i deal with this?
Do I need to create a differnet method for each datasource (foo DB, bar DB), ie:
FooCustomer getFooCustomer()
BarCustomer getBarCustomer()
or do i continue calling getCustomer but somehow indicate in the WSDL that I have an AbstractCustomer object and some other bits from FooCusotmer or BarCustomer or ....
kinda stumpeed here? I wouldve thought itd be handy to be able to do this (ie: call one getCustomer() method and get back Customer objects representing nay type of customer ... in some way...but cant see how to achieve this.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated
cheers

Hi,
I just got back into town and saw all the heartfelt response. Thanks.
I have no idea why I reposted this. It's not my norm and in no way was I trying to scrape out an answer. But I did it and I take the hit for it. I really apologize for that.
The error was basic, but it's where I'm freaking AT. Basic. Go back to your initial steps into your FIRST programming language and review all the clumsy errors you made. I'm sure I'm going to make a few more thousand before I'm through.
Java's error messages and syntax may seem very familiar to you but it's brand new to me. Many of the error messages and syntax aren't always clear, at least initially.

Flex services with multiple return types

Hello,
We are creating a webapplication with flex and php.
Everything is working very good, until we got to the library part of the application.
Every service so far had only 1 return type (eg: User, Group, ...)
Now for the library we want to return a ArrayCollection of different types of objects. To be more specific the LibraryService should return a ArrayCollection containing Folder and File objects.
But how to configure this in Flex (Flash Builder 4 (standard))?
So far it converts every object to the type Object, i would really like it to be Folder or File
The only solution we can think of right now is to create a new object Library that will contain 2 ArrayCollections, one of type Folder and one of type File. This could work ofcourse, but I wonder if there is a better solution for this OR that i can configure multiple return types for a service.
Any ideas/advice is greatly appreciated.

Normally if you are using Blazeds(Java stuff, i'm sure there should be something similar for php), you can map java objects to that of the AS objects, when you get the data back you are actually seeing the object which is a Folder or a File object rather than just a Object.

Bug or feature: TableView.EditEvent - same type for value and row?

Just noticed (normally I don't care overly much about generics, they are my natural enemies : -) that the return type for both cell and row data is the same:
class EditEvent<T> {
    T getNewValue()
    T getOldValue()
    T getRowValue()
}old/new value is fine, but typically the row has another type, which most probably is completely unrelated, as f.i. in
TableView<Person> tableView = new TableView<Person>(persons);
TableColumn<String> firstName = new TableColumn<String>("First Name");
firstName.setProperty("firstName");
EventHandler<EditEvent<String>> nameEditHandler = new EventHandler<TableView.EditEvent<String>>() {
            @Override
            public void handle(TableView.EditEvent<String> e) {
// compile error
                Person p = (Person)e.getRowValue();
                String newValue = (String)e.getNewValue();
                p.setFirstName(newValue);
firstNameCol.setOnEditCommit(nameEditHandler);The compile error is due to the event requiring the same type for row and cell. Obviously, can remove all type parameters - but how to solve cleanly without getting unchecked/rawtype warnings?
Thanks
Jeanette

Good morning, Jonathan (my day time : -)
If you mean that big issue where you threaten (and locally actually already did) to remove all the niceties of auto-magic column binding via setting property names - yeah, I've read it, partly unhappily. But that's another story.
to create two separate EditEvents - one for row edits and one for cell edits.
hmm .. have been expecting something along the lines of
EditEvent<R, C> {
     R getRowValue();
     C getOldValue();
     C getNewValue();
// used in
TableView<R>
TableColumn<C>
// for row edits
R == C
getRowValue() == getOldValue()Musing a bit longer, the event could be streamlined a bit - remove all the convenience sugar: the receiver has to know the exact details of grabbing the data anyway in order to be able to change it (in the current workflow, it's not necessarily the way to go) so old/row is redundant
EditEvent<S> {
   <S> getEditValue();
}Cheers

Regarding return type in JDBC coding

We write code like Class.forName(<some string>) to load particular DriverClasses for database connectivity. As the Class.forName() returns a class and we don't catch it into particular variable during JDBC programming. Why there are no exceptions raised as there is a return type for Class.forName().

Ignoring the return value of a method is not an error. You can call, say, Math.sin() and ignore its return value too.

Overloading hassle with no args, different return types

We're trying to create a document object that can be parsed from XML with xerces and then used as the model for a jtree and a styled-text editor. That means we want to:
1. subclass stuff from org.w3c.dom
2. implement interfaces from javax.swing.tree
3. implement interfaces from javax.swing.text
We figured that since they all represent similar tree structures, this would be a nice and clever thing to do.
Hit a snag this morning:
* org.w3c.dom.Node.getAttributes() returns NamedNodeMap
* javax.swing.text.Element.getAttributes() returns AttributeSet
So, our class gets a compile error on the conflicting return types for what it thinks is the same method.
Any suggestions for what to do? Abandoning xerces isn't an option, and rewriting styled text ourselves isn't practial either.

This is the problem with multiple inheritance. In C++, the problem is more pronounced because you can inherit two implmentations of the same method.
In Java, whenever you inherit two methods with the same signature, even if the return types are the same, you have a similar problem. These two methods will likely have two different contracts, and you cannot fulfuill both contracts with one method.
Example:
interface Graphical { /** Draw object on screen */ void draw() { } }
interface CardDeck { /** Draw a card */ void draw() { } }
class CardGame implements Graphical, CardDeck { /** ??? */ void draw() { } }It is unfortunate that you're inheriting two different getAttributes() methods. You'll have to use composition and delegation instead of inheritance to get around the problem.

Data Service Auto-Detect Return Type Error

Hello,
I am not sure if I am posting in the correct area, as this is my first post in a long time. I have an error when trying to Auto-Detect Return Type for my Web Service Data Service. The error is 'Data type "Table_type" cannot be merged with the existing one in package "valueObjects" because the property "ContentID" does not match in case.' I have configured other return types the exact same way and have tried looking in the documentation for this error as well as searching on the internet. Any help would be welcomed, Thank You.

Nevermind, I figured it out. If anyone else has this similar error, it means you have another variable with the exact same name only capitilized in the same return type.

Why return type required on a constructor?

I am trying to show student number, grade and course number. When I try to compile the start of my work, it won't compile. It keeps getting hung up on my constructor.
It is stating that I need a return type for line: "public StuID(int idNum)" line. (for me it is line 13.
. This isn't even homework. This is exactly how they have it in my book. Very easy if I typed something wrong, but the textbook doesn't show a type either.
public class Students
     private int stuNum;
     private String grade;
     public int courseNum;
     public StuID(int idNum)
          String[] gradeSchedule = {A, B, C, D, F};
          int[] courseList = {"X", "101", "102", "103", "104", "105"};
          stuNum = idNum;
          if (idNum > gradeSchedule.length)
     idNum=0;
          grade = gradeSchedule[idNum];
          course = courseList[idNum];
     public int getStu()
     return stuNum;
      public String getGrade()
     return grade;
      public int getCourseNum()
     return courseNum;
      public void setStu(int numStu)
     stuNum = numStu;
      public void setGrade (String stuGrade)
     grade = stuGrade;
      public void setCourse (int numCourse)
     courseNum = numCourse;
}As I stated earlier, I have just started typing this section. I follow the text and compile when they tell me to. However at this point, I get the return type is needed message.
Looking at a book and trying to type what they have, I could have left something out, but I sure think it looks like what they have in the book. Can anyone spot why it is asking me for a return type on the "public StuID(int idNum)" line?
Thanks,
Gizelle

Since the class is named Students, a constructor for the class will look like public Students() { ... } StuId is just a method (and a poorly named one) and so it must have a return type (which could be void).

Perfmon : counter types for CCM 5.0

Hello,
I'd to have the counter types for all CCM 5.0 counters and I did not find any calls in the wsdl or documentation about the types returned by the Cisco Soap engine.
Under CCM 4.x, the Win32 perfmon API used to returned the type for each counter...
Thanks
Seb

The .cop files are like the .exe files in Windows. Therefore you shouldn't need the .cop file in this case. You should just be able to copy the .bin file to the server in the tftp folder and make the change under the device defaults and restart the tftp service.

Issue with Return Delivery for movement type 262

Hi,
I have got a strange issue, the user is trying to do a MIGO Return Delivery for a material document using movement type 262, this he claims has been doing it for many materials. However when i go to the MKPF table i see the transaction Code field to be MIGO_GI for all the material documents for which he claims to have done return delivery. But under this transaction code we have only 4 options - Display, Issue, Cancel and Remove from storage.
Now when he tries to do the return delivery for movement type 262 he get an error message "Check table T156N: entry RL 262 does not exist" , but this has been very well maintained in the table.
Can you please let me know -
If it is possible to do a return delivery for a movement type 262?
If yes how to address the above error encountered.
Thanks in advance
Sachin

Hi Sachin,
If you think of return delivery to vendor with or w/o PO reference you can use movement types 161, 122, 124 as default settings.
Movement type 261 means withdrawal against production order and its reverse is MVT 262. The latter can be used e.g. via MB1A (or you can make storno of a confirmation by 261).
Are you sure your user is using the correct terminology ('return delivery')? Please check the material documents he/she claims to have booked as return delivery. (in MB51 you can get a list of all material movements of MVT 261 that belong to 'your user' and after that you can open the material document and check through which transaction the booking was made.)
