Static variable declaration in JavaFX

Hello, I'd like to ask how to substitute static key word to declare a variable, that is visible within the current package and accessible without creating an instance of a class, that contains this variable. Because my NetBeans insists that static variable is depricated.
Thank you.

In Foo.fx...
class Foo {
    // bar is an instance variable that has public access
    public def bar = "bar";
// baz is a "static" variable that has public access
public def baz = "baz";
// someFun is a "static" function
public function someFun() : Void {
}In Main.fx...
println("{Foo.bar}"); // compile error - cannot reference bar from static context
println("{Foo.baz}"); // This is ok - Foo.baz is static
var foo = Foo{}
println("{foo.bar}"); // This is ok. bar referenced from Foo instance

  • Using a static variable declared in an applet in another class

    Hi guys,
    I created an applet and i want to use one of the static variables declared in teh applet class in another class i have. however i get an error when i try to do that...
    in my Return2 class i try to call the variable infoPanel (declared as a static JPanel in myApplet...myApplet is set up like so:
    public class myApplet extends JApplet implements ActionListener, ListSelectionListener
    here are some of the lines causing a problem in the Return2 class:
    myApplet.infoPanel.removeAll();
    myApplet.infoPanel.add(functionForm2.smgframeold);
    myApplet.infoPanel.validate();
    myApplet.infoPanel.repaint();
    here are some of the errors i get

    I don't declare any packages though....i think it just doesn't recognize myApplet for some reason..
    other errors i got compiling are:

    symbol : variable myApplet
    location: class Return2
    updateDesc.setString(3, myApplet.staticName);
    I Don't get why i'm getting this error cuase they worked fine when myApplet was a standalone application, not an applet.
    myApplet is in the same folder as Return2 and it compiles properly.

  • Clarification about static variables declaration

    I'm getting "Illegal Start of Expression" error, When i try to declare a static variable within a static metho or nonstatic method.
    Could you please clarify me,
    Is it possible to declare a static varible within a static method or non static method ?
    Thanks

    Hi Vikas,
    First, note that this forum is devoted to Sun Java Studio Creator IDE. General Java questions can be asked on forums here: http://forum.java.sun.com/
    Second, note that static variable can be defined only as member of class. It cannot be defined inside of method.

  • Non-static variable cant accessed from the static context..your suggestion

    Once again stuck in my own thinking, As per my knowledge there is a general error in java.
    i.e. 'Non-static variable cant accessed from static context....'
    Now the thing is that, When we are declaring any variables(non-static) and trying to access it within the same method, Its working perfectly fine.
    i.e.
    public class trial{
    ���������� public static void main(String ar[]){      ////static context
    ������������ int counter=0; ///Non static variable
    ������������ for(;counter<10;) {
    �������������� counter++;
    �������������� System.out.println("Value of counter = " + counter) ; ///working fine
    �������������� }
    ���������� }
    Now the question is that if we are trying to declare a variable out-side the method (Non-static) , Then we defenately face the error' Non-static varialble can't accessed from the static context', BUT here within the static context we declared the non-static variable and accessed it perfectly.
    Please give your valuable suggestions.
    Thanks,

    JeffHi,
    You are declaring a variable inside a static method,
    that means you are opening a static scope... i.e. static block internally...
    whatever the variable you declare inside a static block... will be static by default, even if you didn't add static while declaring...
    But if you put ... it will be considered as redundant by compiler.
    More over, static context does not get "this" pointer...
    that's the reason we refer to any non-static variables declared outside of any methods... by creating an object... this gives "this" pointer to static method controller.

  • Static variable doubt !!!

    why the following code throws an error (Illegal start of expression )
    public class samp
         public static void main(String [] a)
    static int i=10; // error is occuring at this line ....
         System.out.println(i);
    }

    In C you can have a static variable declared inside a function.
    It is static, that is, retains the value between the calls, and it is declared in the function, hence it is seen only from there. In the following example both function have their own static i variables.
    #include <stdio.h>
    static int i=0;
    int foo() {
    static int i=100;
         return i++;
    int bar() {
    static int i=200;
         return i++;
    int main() {
    int x;
    for(x=4;x<8;x++) printf("%d %d\n",x,foo());
    for(x=4;x<8;x++) printf("%d %d\n",x,bar());
    printf("%d\n",i);
    }

  • Static used on global variable declaration

    I have inherited a CVI project that contains a single .C file and a couple of .UIR files with their associated .H files.
    Many of the global variables have STATIC in their declaration - I believe this is due to the fact the original developer originally had them inside various functions and at some point changed strategy to make them global, leaving the STATIC keyword in place when copy/pasting.
    As I understand it the ONLY implication of STATIC on a global variable would be to keep its visibility only to the .C file in which it is declared. In this instance that is moot since there is only one .C file in the project.
    Is there anything about LabWindows/CVI which I might not be aware of that makes this use of STATIC cause something different than if STATIC were not used?
    Thanks for any input you might have since I'm new to CVI

    Roberto and menchar said it well:
    "static variables are declared at compile time and survive when their block of code terminates. If declared at function level, their value survives from one call of the function to another, so that they can be used over time to store permanent values locale to the function. If declared at module level, they are common to all functions in the module and are allocated outside the stack so that their values are not lost during program life. In every case they can be accessed and modified in values by functions in the program. If arrays, they cannot be dinamically changed in size."
    "The static keyword can be used with a function name also, meaning the function name isn't exported to the linker, and the function is in scope only to code within the module."

  • Can't we declare a static variable inside a memberfunction of a class?

    Hi,
    class A{
    public void fun()
    static int i=10;
    can' we declare static variable in member function of class?
    Thanks,

    It is a common idiom in C and C++, but it is forbidden
    in Java because it adds hidden dependencies.
    The C way of writing a serial number generator:
    int generate() {
    static int n = 0;
    return n++;
    }Pure C has only global functions. So it needs inner
    static variables to help to hide the data. I've had
    lots of headaches trying to make C programs with inner
    static variables work correctly because they usually
    are hidden in cross-reference listings.
    The Java way:
    public static class SerialNumberGenerator() {
    private static int n = 0;
    public static int generate() {
    return n++;
    }The code above is as static as the C code given
    before, but it tries to be more explicit (no hidden
    variables).Hum... have you tried to compile your sample ?
    (And anyway, what the hell would a static class be used for ???)
    But perhaps you meant:
    public final class SerialNumberGenerator {
       private static int n = 0;
       public static int generate() {
          return n++;

  • How to clear the value of variable declared with STATICS keyword in FM?

    Hi All,
    I am using a standard CRM FM:CRM_CLA_RES_UPDATE_FM in that a STATICS variable is declared. In my code this STATICS varible value is populating. Iam to clear that Varible.
    How to do that.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Shabeer Ahmed,

    If you have 6.0 or up version then you will have a spiral button for your ABAP editor in you application toolbar. this is to find enhancements provided to you for standard programs. if you click on this you will get the enhancement points which you can identify and use accordingly to change/edit your STATICS variable content.
    if not, then you'll probably have to write to OSS , if you can open the code and do the required correction.

  • Declaring Static Variables

    Is it a bad way to declare somany Static Variables in a program?
    -Achyuth B

    ok..
    So if in a swings program if i am using only one frame through out the program, by adding and deleting components on it.
    Then i can declare that frame as Static, right.
    So that i can call the same frame(and not instance of it) from different class.
    And if i have to take the value entered in a JTextField from another class, Then that JTextField can also be declared as Static right.

  • Using Static Variable against Context Attribute for Holding IWDView

    Dear Friends,
    I have a method which is in another DC which has a parameter of the type IWDView. In my view, I will have an action which will call the method in another component by passing the value for the view parameter. Here, I can achieve this in 2 types. One is - I declare a static variable and assign the wdDoModifyView's view as parameter value and I can pass this variable as parameter whenever calling that method or the second way - create an attribute and assign the same wdDoModifyView's view parameter as its value. Whenever I call this method, I can pass this attribute as parameter. What is the difference between these two types of holding the value since I am storing the same value i.e., wdDoModifyView's view parameter. But when I trigger the action from different user sessions, the first type of code (using static variable) prints the same value in both the sessions for view.hashCode() and View.toString(), but the same is printing the different values when I pass the attribute which holds the view parameter.
    Clarification on this is highly appreciated
    The problem I face is when I use static variable to get the view instance and export the data using the UI element's id, the data belonging to different user sessions is mixed up where as when I use Context Attribute, the same problem doesn't arise. I want to know the reason why it is so. Is there any other place or way where I can get the current view instance of each session instead of wdDoModifyView?

    Hi Sujai ,
    As you have specified the problem that we face when we use  static attributes, when end users are using the application .
    Static means i  have n number of objects but the static variable value will remain same every where.
    when it is context attribute for every object i.e nth object you have a nth context attribute i mean nth copy of the context attribute.
    so every user has a unique Iview parameter , when context is used and
    when static is used  , assume you have userA , his iview is set this intially  and u have another user B , when he is using  , since the variable is static and when you access this variable you will get the value of userA.

  • How to give different value to a static variable???

    Hi all:
    Is there any solution to set different values to a static variable???I had try two ways but all have errors!
    1.Way_1
    protected String tmp=null;
    protected void initSituation(int sayorpress)
    if (sayorpress==0)
    tmp = "string1";
    else if (sayorpress==1)
    tmp = "string2";
    protected static String RESOURCE_STRING = tmp; <---error
    Error:non-static variable tmp cannot be referenced from a static context
    2.Way_2
    protected void initSituation(int sayorpress)
    if (sayorpress==0)
    protected static String RESOURCE_STRING = "string1"; <---error
    else if (sayorpress==1)
    protected static String RESOURCE_STRING = "string2"; <---error
    Error:illegal start of expression at
    not an expression statement at
    Thank you very mich!!!

    Try this:
    protected static String RESOURCE_STRING = null;
    protected void initSituation(int sayorpress)
    if (sayorpress==0)
    yourClass.RESOURCE_STRING = "string1";
    else if (sayorpress==1)
    yourClass.RESOURCE_STRING = "string2";
    You cannot declare a static variable inside a method. But you can access a static variable thorugh your class.

    but I just use this constructor once,never use twice
    with same jvm;I thinks my idea is not too very badIt's a public constructor (if I'm looking in the right
    place) - it could be called from anywhere. To
    intialize a static variable outside the declaration,
    use a static initializer:private static String whatever;static {
    whatever = "whatever";
    }Or simply (in this case):private static String whatever = "whatever";

  • Static Variable in webapplication

    Are the values of static variables preserved when two different users try and access them? i.e.
    If one web application user sitting in Chicago sets a static variable to 'true' from 'false'. Will the other user sitting in Omaha see it as 'true' or 'false' in his session?

    Alright, I did this test.
    1) On my local tomcat I created a mini webapp where I
    declared a static which populates from a form field.
    static String displayname = "";
    displayname = request.getParameter("username");
    and then displayed it on the html page.
    2) I opened IE sessions of my application and in one
    I gave the user name 'Tom' and other 'Janet' and hit
    continue. (Tom before Janet)
    3) The page that had 'Tom' displayed tom and other
    one Janet. Then I refreshed the display page for the
    tom instance and it still showed 'Tom'.
    Conclusion: It appears that the statics are indeed
    loyal to the class loader and not the JVM. Hence, for
    multiple users each instance should have its own
    static.
    Please let me know if you disagree or see my test to
    be wrong.
    Thanks
    Message was edited by:
    Birthdayhitting the refesh button on your IE page doesn't show you what the value of the static variable in your web app is. You're headding for trouble.
    EDIT: Ok well it depends on you implementation how the refresh will work, but if you have a static fields in a class on your web server I promise you it's not in any way associated with any session.

  • Static variable in session bean

    Can we declare static variable in session bean. If we declare what will happen. Will it create error in compile time or not deployed in server.

    From a Java language perspective, nothing stops you from declaring a static variable in a session
    bean class. It will compile as long as its syntactically correct.
    From an EJB programming model perspective, the use of non-final static variables
    is discouraged because it breaks the JVM-transparency that is an important aspect of the
    EJB architecture. It should be possible to deploy a single EJB application to a cluster and
    have it behave exactly as if it were deployed to only one server instance (albeit with higher
    overall throughput/performance). Using non-final static variables breaks this property
    because the bean instances in one JVM will see a different value for the static variable
    than bean instances in a different JVM.
    It also forces you to deal with synchronization
    of the shared data, which is a complexity that was carefully avoided in the EJB programming
    model by ensuring that each bean instance is single-threaded.
    Bottom line is you can have "final static" data members in EJB classes but you should
    avoid non-final (mutable) static data.
