Some class that cannot be resolved to a type

Hello, I?m trying to use the[b] itext API for PDF creating from Java.
In order to do this you must include the package .jar in your classpath and import com.logawie.text.* in your java file. All this steps are obviusly, and work correctly, in JAVA, but i?m trying to develope a web application, using JSP.
Usually when I try to import a package from a JAR file that are allocated in the C:\j2sdk1.4.2_12\lib directory it doesn?t work. I solved this problem with some classes including it directly to the src.zip file. But with the itext package it doesn?t work, I don?t know if my solution is too bad, but with another classes it works, but with the itext package it says that all classes references "cannot be resolved to a type".
Anyone can help me? Thanks in advance.

when i try to depooy it then error comes
user cannot be resolved to a type
can any body help me
and tell me about classpath

Dear Ejp,
I would like to first share a simple case here first. Below is the simplied codes. Here I dont need any import statement. I keep both this in the same directory. I am using this command to compile javac callSMSClient.java. Why even this simple case is not working?
public class callSMSClient{
public static void main(String[] args)
     SMSClient t1 = new SMSClient(1);
     t1.sendMessage("+6014466044","testing one two");

I found the answer:
You must allocate .jar in tomcat\common\lib directory and restart apache tomcat.
I hope it would be usefull to anybody.

Palm Pre crazy symptoms: "phone offline", will not charge battery, will not start, error message "an error has occured that cannot be resolved"

This is a long description of a series of problems with my new Palm Pre. You may wish to search the text to find your specific issue(s). There is no solution in my post. Look for possible answers in the responses to come.
I bought my Palm Pre 4 days ago and it arrived 2 days ago. Phone worked great. Last night I plugged in the phone and updated the OS. After completion, I selected "Done" and went to bed.
- First Series of Issues: "Phone Offline", will not charge battery -
In upper lefthand corner of the phone there is the message "phone offline". Although the phone has been charging all night it reads "26% battery". I called the general Sprint tech support number and we tried the following things:
1) Restart phone (press and hold power button, then select "turn off". after power down, press and hold power button to power on.)
2) Reset the phone (several different ways - call tech support so that you do this correctly)
The individual at Sprint then sent me to another tech support person, presumably 2nd tier.
- Second Series of Issues: Error message "an error has occured that cannot be resolved" -
Sprint tech support person #2 also had me restart and reset the phone in a number of ways. In her words "we've tried every palm pre trick I know" and each time the phone was unresponsive. Often we received the error message "phone is offline". We did a full erase and after that the phone would no longer restart. At this point the error message came up saying "an error has occured that cannot be resolved" which referred me to www.palm.com for assistance. I think it's important to note here that this was not the typical error message (black screen with white letters) but rather the blue sky background with a semitransparent box over it with white text.
Sprint tech support person #2 then connected me with Palm support and the dance continued. Again we tried a whole bunch of resetting and restarting and erasing options. Palm support instructed me to go to: www.palm.com/rom to download WebOS Doctor, which I did. I downloaded the file. While that was happening he had me hold the "volume up" button and plug the phone into the charger. This caused a USB symbol to appear on the phone. When the file was complete I received an error message that the file couldn't run. Palm tech support person seemed surprised. I mentioned that I was on a Mac and he said he couldn't help me. He then transferred me to another Palm support person who works with Mac users.
Palms tech support person #2 then informed me that I should have selected the "mac" download option on www.palm.com/rom. I verbally walked her through the whole series of webpages, telling her that it says that you need Windows (version whatever) or Mac (version whatever) but that at no time was there an option to download a different WebOS Doctor for different operating systems. After some more discussion she told me she would have to have someone call me back tomorrow.
- Third Series of Issues: phone stuck on USB symbol -
So at the moment the phone is completely useless. Not fantastic. I booted up the mac in Windows 7 and downloaded WebOS Doc and received the same error. I also ran Windows Vista virtually and received the same error. Later this afternoon I'm heading into work to try the same thing on Windows XP.
In the meantime, I got onto this forum and located a thread that provided a direct link to the necessary file:
palm.cdnetworks.net/staging/rom/webosdoctorp100ewwsprint.jar
After downloading that file, which I realized could totally be a virus, I was able to get WebOS Doc working on my computer. It required that I recharge the phone completely before beginning and now it's on the screen that says "Don't disconnect your phone" and the file is at 3% complete. Only... it's been at 3% complete for almost 30 minutes.
I am hoping that Palm will follow up with me tomorrow, but I'm leaving at 7am on a business trip and would love to have the thing working. Any suggestions are welcome, even if you can just tell me how to get the think disconnected safely before my flight tomorrow. I don't fancy getting through security with my phone wired to my laptop.
Thanks.
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello and welcome to the forums;
Our phone support is open every day Monday through Sunday, although there are different hours of operation for the weekend. If after a webOS Doctor reset you are still experiencing the same problems, I would likely recommend replacement, either in a local store for your carrier or through our technical support department.
There may be additional technical support offered or suggested over the phone, this would need to be done first before a replacement could be issued.
Hope this helps,

Can't use classes in own package ... cannot be resolved into a type

I am fairly new to java and I am having the following problem.
i have a folder structure that goes as follows:
cs/uwm/client/io
and in this directory I have 3 files: ConsoleReader.java ConsoleWriter.java and ConsoleManager.java
and at the top of all three I have the following:
package cs.uwm.client.io;
ConsoleReader and ConsoleWriter are compiling fine
However in ConsoleManager I am using these classes ConsoleReader/Writer and It compile fine for me on a windows JDK in cywin, but when I try this on a Fedore6 system with an Eclipe Java Compiler v_686_R32x, 3.2.2 release I have the following error:
ConsoleWriter cannot be resolved into a type
when I try the following line: ConsoleReader reader = new ConsoleReader( System.in );
I tried importing cs.uwm.client.io but that didnt' work. I couldn't find anything on the forums here if you are trying to use a class defined in your package inside your package the way I am.
Any help would be great!

So it compiles from a commandline invocation of Java, but not from within Eclipse?
Sounds like you need to ask the question at an Eclipse site, since the problem is not a Java problem - and this forum is for Java language questions, not IDE support questions.
Probably caused by the fact that Eclipse doesn't use Sun's Java compiler.

JSP impot class cannot be resolved to a type

This has got to be an easy problem but we cannot seem to figure it out.
I am using Tomcat 6.0.18 and JRE 1.5.09
This is my class:
package hello;
public class hello{
public void run(){
System.out.println("Hello World");
}}This is my JSP:
<%@ page language="java" import="java.util.* , java.io.* , java.text.*" errorPage="error.jsp"%>
<%@ page import="hello.*" %>
<%
hello h = new hello();
h.run();
%>and this is the error:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP:
An error occurred at line: 7 in the jsp file: /test.jsp
hello cannot be resolved to a type
4:
5: <%
6:
7: hello h = new hello();
8: h.run();
9:
10: %>
I have the "hello.class" in
C:\Tomcat6\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes\hello
C:\Tomcat6\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes
C:\Tomcat6\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF

C:\Tomcat6\webapps\host-manager\WEB-INF\classes
C:\Tomcat6\webapps\host-manager\WEB-INF
Can someone pelase offer a suggestion and please tell me where the CLASS file should actually reside? Please?

hii..
Try this code.I hope u wil get the output.
test.jsp
<%@ page language="java" import="java.util.* , java.io.* , java.text.*" errorPage="error.jsp"%>

Eclipse "cannot be resolved to a type" and new .JAR lib - config prob?

I'm trying to make use of the Commons HttpClient library in a project being built in Eclipse (3.1). I have a sample program (PostXML) that runs into "cannot be resolved to a type" on the "HttpClient" object. I think the problem is that the JRE 1.4.2 (Mac OS-X) system library includes an earlier release (3.0.1) of the HttpClient, but some of the classes used by PostXML are in the 3.1rc of HttpClient. I've downloaded the newer release, created a user library, and modified the load order so I can see the user library above (i.e. loaded prior to?) the System JRE in the package browser. I can see the HttpClient.class in the Package browser. I have "import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.*;" in the head of the application (that took tweaking). Several of the HttpClient methods resolve correctly, but not the HttpClient object constructor itself. I am also finding I cannot simply import all the HttpClient methods, but must import each explicitly (?). Suggestions?

I have gotten the sample code to compile and run,
though I still have some confusion about needing the
explicit imports (as compared to a wildcard import).
In the end I believe my "cannot be resolved to a
type" error was due to dependencies within the
HttpClient library on the commons-codec library. Once
I downloaded and installed that, the samples started
working better. Still trying to understand the API,
but making progress.when downloading third-party libraries, check the download page to see if it has any further dependencies. apache libraries are notoriously dependent on other apache libraries
regarding the imports, it's not that there's a need for explicit imports, it's more that wildcard imports are a bad idea. explicit imports gives other people looking at your code a first clue as to what it does, and it also can serve as an indicator that your class is too big, if there are lots of imports. wildcards hide this from you. apart from that, it makes no difference to your code, and imports don't even exist at runtime so it affects how your code actually runs, not at all

BankAccount cannot be resolved to a type

hello,
public class Bank
// attributes
private BankAccount[] list; // to hold the accounts
private int total; // to keep track of the number of accounts in the list
// methods
// the constructor
public Bank(int sizeIn)
    // size array with parameter
    list = new BankAccount[sizeIn];
    total = 0;
// helper method to find the index of a specified account
private int search(String accountNumberIn)
    for(int i = 0; i < total; i++)
      BankAccount tempAccount = list;
when this program is compiling the following error appears:
BankAccount cannot be resolved to a type
any ideas?
thank you!

Think about it. What is the error telling you? It's really quite straightforward, if you overcome the mistaken belief that compiler output is some foreign language only extreme techies can understand.

JspWriter cannot be resolved to a type

The following is CheckAddress.jsp page which checks if the form has the name and phone fields filled in or not. If not then it must print the errors. But the problem I am having is that the Eclipse is showing me the error "JspWriter cannot be resolved to a type".
If I ignore this error and run the page in the j2ee preview server in eclipse than I get the following error:

Thanks elOpalo, even though eclipse is still showing the error, things are running fine after I rectified my typing mistake about the prinln. :)

Include JSP in JSP - Error: cannot be resolved to a type

Hello,
Several of my jsp pages include other jsp pages. The project has many errors: "x cannot be resolved to a type". Is there a way to resolve these errors? Below is a small example of the issue:
JSP #1:
<%@ page import="com.testing.Introduction" %>
<html>
<head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>Hello</title>
</head>
<body>
<%
     Introduction intro = new Introduction();
     String speak = intro.sayHello();
%>
<p><%=speak %></p>
<%@ include file="Name.jsp" %>
</body>
</html> JSP #2:
<html>
<head>
<title>Name</title>
</head>
<body>
<%
     String speak2 = intro.sayName();
%>
<p>
<%=speak2 %>
</p>
</body>
</html>Class:
package com.testing;
public class Introduction
     public static void main(String[] args) {
     public Introduction() {
          super();
     public String sayHello() {
          return "Hello";
     public String sayName()     {
          return "My name is Sam";
}The error shows up in Name.jsp; the issue is with "intro". Any ideas how to resolve this issue?
Thank you in advance for your help!

The jsp page Name.jsp appears to be missing the import statement that appears in the first page.
<%@ page import="com.testing.Introduction" %>The included file is included character for character into the main page which is then treated as a single jsp page for the response. The include directive is invoked at the time of page translation. Given this, I don't see the purpose of using the <html> <head> and <title> tags in the second and included page. I don't think that this suggests the proper purpose of the include directive.
Note too that if the included file changes, all of the jsp files that call this file need to be updated as well. Servers can handle the alteration of the main jsp, but may not serve the altered content if the included file changes.

I am getting this error - JspFormsSession cannot be resolved to a type

Hi
I am getting following error when I try to open a jsp file.
Any solution?
JSP line details are -
JspFormsSession openrules_session = (JspFormsSession) session.getAttribute(s_attr);
Error is -
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
An error occurred at line: 4 in the jsp file: /index.jsp
Generated servlet error:
JspFormsSession cannot be resolved to a type
An error occurred at line: 4 in the jsp file: /index.jsp

     org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:264)
     javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802)

Now I am confident that the problem is with library including, as the same thing happens with other libraries.
I found that such a warning appears every time:
Classpath entry /jspbook/src/lib/mail.jar will not be exported or published. Runtime ClassNotFoundExceptions may result.Unfortunately, I've no idea how to include this in a proper way. I think that setting it in "Add External JARs" in "Java Build Path" is enough... or not?
Seems we're close to solve the problem. May be this screen shot will be helpful to determine the problem?

ParserException cannot be resolved to a type ??

Hi all,
What is the problem in the following code ? eclipse says "ParserException cannot be resolved to a type"
thanks,
import org.htmlparser.*;
public class test {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          String x = extractStrings("http://www.yahoo.com");
          System.out.println(x);
     public static String extractStrings(String html) throws ParserException {
          StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer();
          Parser parser = Parser.createParser(html, null); // charset=null??
          //String encoding = parser.getEncoding();
          //System.out.println(encoding);
          Node node;
          StringBuffer results = new StringBuffer();
          for (org.htmlparser.util.NodeIterator e = parser.elements(); e.hasMoreNodes();) {
               node = e.nextNode();
               result.append(node.toPlainTextString());
          return result.toString();
}

So what should i do ?Did you write that 'extractStrings()' method yourself? As you can see,
this method may throw a ParserException which is a checked exception.
You either should catch it in your main method or you should declare
that your main method can throw that same exception by adding it to
its throws-clause, identical as you did for the extractStrings method.
kind regards,
Jos

PasswordHandler cannot be resolved to a type

Hi i am doing using ldap
I am getting error of
PasswordHandler cannot be resolved to a type
at the line
PasswordHandler pHandler = PasswordHandler.getInstance();Am I missing any jar files or ?
pls help

looks like there are several passwordhandler class
take a look at:
[http://www.google.fr/search?hl=fr&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Afr%3Aofficial&hs=LWd&q=api+passwordhandler+getinstance&btnG=Rechercher&meta=]
from the code you gave, we can only see that a "getinstance" method is available in the class ; if other methods are invoked later in the code, add those method names as keywords in google to narrow the result scope
