Hi,
How often does this occur? Is this consitently reproducible with certain code? Is it always that code that has the problem? Can you generally reproduce this in a test environment?
For issues regarding 3rd party libraries that cannot be reproduced with a source code testcase, I'd generally recommend testing latest software versions if that's an option.
If the behaivor still occurs on current versions, it may be best to open a SR with support so we can get some tracing, and also a memory dump of the access violation to see if we can match it to known issues. You can get a memory dump via setting ODP tracing to level 8, or also via the use of adplus, debugdiag, etc.
Hope it helps, but realize it may not,
Greg

About abstract method read() in class InputStream

I would like to know if behind the method
public abstract int read() throws IOException
in the abstract class InputStream there is some code that
is called when I have to read a stream. In this case where can I find
something about this code and, if is written in other languages, why
is not present the key word native?
Thanks for yours answers and sorry for my bad english.

Ciao Matteo.
Scusa se ti rispondo in ritardo... ma ero in pausa pranzo.
Chiedimi pure qualcosa di pi? specifico e se posso darti una mano ti rispondo.
Le classi astratte sono utilizzate per fornire un comportamento standard lasciando per? uno o pi? metodi non implementati... liberi per le necessit? implementative degli utilizzatori.
Nel caso specifico la classe InputStream ? una classe astratta che lascia non implementato il metodo read(). Tu nel tuo codice non utilizzerai mai questa classe come oggetto, ma nel caso specifico una sua sottoclasse che ha implementato il metodo read().
Se vai nelle api di InputStream vedrai che ci sono diverse sottoclassi che estendono InputStream. Guarda ad esempio il codice di ByteArrayInputStream: in questa classe il metodo read() non ? nativo ma restituisce un byte appartenente al suo array interno.
I metodi nativi (ad esempio il metodo read() della classe FileInputStream) non hanno implementazione java ma fanno invece riferimento a delle chiamate dirette al sistema operativo.
Per quanto riguarda la classe FilterInputStream di cui parlavi: essa nel suo costruttore riceve un InputStream. Questo significa che si deve passare nel costruttore non la classe InputStream (che ? astratta) ma una classe che la estende e che quindi non sia astratta. Il motivo per il quale FilterInputStream faccia riferimento a una classe di tipo InputStream al suo interno, ? che in java gli stream di input e di output possono essere composti l'uno sopra l'altro per formare una "catena" (a tal proposito vedi per maggiori dettagli uno dei tani articoli che si trovano in rete.... ad esempio ti indico questo http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Streams/ProgIOStreams/). Comunque per dirla in due parole: tu puoi voler usare un FileInputStream per leggere un file, ma se hai bisogno di effettuare una lettura pi? efficiente (quindi bufferizzata) puoi aggiungere in catena al FileInputStream un oggetto di tipo FilterInputStream (nel caso specifico un BufferedInputStream che non ? altro che una sottoclasse di FilterInputStream).
Spero di aver chiarito qualche tuo dubbio!
Ciao
Diego

About abstract method read() in class InputStream (second message)

I know but my question needs other arguments. When the Java virtual machine must help me in reading some input stream, I imagine it uses some calls to the operating system: I would like to know if behind that method there is something which seems a system call even if is abstract and so without apparently code.

About abstract method read() in class InputStream (third message)

The subclass FilterInputStream is not abstract and extend InputStream: have you ever seen the implementation of that method in the source code available in SDK? It only calls that abstract method!!! I think it is not a very simple problem and anyway the answer is not in my diffrent books. Thanks for your non trivial answer.

Type conflict error for method of a class

Hi all,
I am getting a type conflict error in method Read of class CL_SWF_REP_ITEM2OBJECT, the error text is
"A type conflict occurred when the program tried to passan actual parameter to the formal parameter 'EX_WI2OBJ_WIHDR' of the method 'READ' of the class'CL_SWF_REP_ITEM2OBJECT'."
I am calling this method from the FM SAP_WAPI_WORKITEMS_TO_OBJECT. I have checked the type and other things and they all seem fine. Funny enough, all the culprits in question are sap standard objects.
Also the same methods and FM work fine for 4.7 and release 640 of Ecc6.0, however doesnt work for release 700 of ECC6.0
kindly guide

Hi,
If the method is:
'Instance Method' use -> to refer to the method of the class
If the method is :
'Static Method' use => assignment to refer to the method.
Could you specify the class and method details so that if the error can ba analyzed.
Regards,
George

Time Management Data Read Using Class & Methods?

Master data & Cluster data how to read using Class & Methods

Hi Ajay
To my knowledge this is caused because there are locks on registrations for these employees in R/3, probably because there using the system at the time of extraction.
To my knowledge the only way to handle this is to set "yellow" status to "green" this can be done automaticly on the InfoPackage.
I know this problem from two companies and i have not experienced any inconsistancies on data due to this proceeding.

Calling a class's method from another class

Hi, i would like to know if it's possible to call a Class's method and get it's return from another Class. This first Class doesn't extend the second. I've got a Choice on this first class and depending on what is selected, i want to draw a image on the second class witch is a Panel extended. I put the control "if" on the paint() method of the second class witch is called from the first by the repaint() (first_class.repaint()) on itemStateChanged(). Thankx 4 your help. I'm stuck with this.This program is for my postgraduation final project and i'm very late....

Issue with close() method of BufferedReader class and FileInputStream class

I have written the following code to a text file, called hello,txt from Windows. Everything works fine but I am trying to figure out whether calling of close() method of aforemetioned class is appropriate or necessary thing to do.
Here are the questions:
1. Is it necessary to call close method in this senario? And why? [it seems to me that everything gets cleaned up automatically anyways at the end of each call to the method when called from main()]
2. If the answer for No.1 is yes, then in which order each close method should be called? Or, does the order of calling close method matter anyways?
3. Is the reason for why in No.1 is that because calling close method on each object is a necessary step to do when dealing with mutli-thread?
Thanks for your help in advance!
      * Below is an example to clarify my questions
     void readWinFile() {
          File objFile = new File("hello.txt");
          FileInputStream fileStream = null;

Hello CeciNEstPasUnProgrammeur,
Thank you for taking your time and doing all these write-up for me.

Pretty much every native resource, most notably DB connections because those even remain open after the client process terminates. But ports or file handlers are similar; note that a JVM does not necessarily terminate just because you close your program in "extreme cases" (shared use of JVM). In an app server this is certainly never the way. And even if it does, as long as your app is running, the stuff is certainly never released.What you meant is that if my app runs on an app server, which shared the use of JVM with multiple apps, without properly closing ports or file handlers could cause JVM to keep retaining the native resource allocated for my app. In case of that, the resource leaks would occur.
On the other hand, if my app runs on an app server, which do not share the use of JVM, the leaks would be less likely to happen even if the ports or file handlers are not manually closed. (It could be a very poor design but technically I could reply on their finalizers to clean up the mess)

Another misconception seems to be that objects are automatically GCed the moment they run out of scope. This is not true.Is there any documentation somewhere that you could refer me to? I would like to figure out why objects are not auto-GCed when they run out of their scope.
>
And lastly, objects should not rely on their finalizers to release native resources, and should rather provide close/release methods. This is a common paradigm, and that's also why releasing the file handle won't work by simply letting the reader instance run out of scope. Nobody notifies the underlying OS.I see, so the JVM here interacts with the underlying OS to acquire sufficient native resource for its apps to run. Without explicit closing, which would make JVM not to notify underlying OS to release acquired resource. Am I on the ball here?

"Open method of Workbooks class failed" when opening Excel file via Internet Explorer

(apologies, I posted this first to the general Office 2010 forum, but then realized this was probably a better spot to post)
We have an Excel COM add-in installed on users' PCs. This add-in responds to workbook open events by opening a particular XLA file (also deployed to the PC) to make certain features available. This process works flawlessly when Excel files are
opened locally - but when a user attempts to open an Excel file from an IE link, we get the following error: "Open method of Workbooks class failed". This is happening on the line that is trying to open the XLA file. This only happens
when launching an Excel link from IE - works fine in Chrome or Firefox.
I have found several posts on this topic, but no solutions:
1. This post (https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/office/en-US/73c96005-84af-4648-b103-32b677205be3/open-method-of-workbooks-class-failed)
is the closest to our problem. In this case, the "answer" was that the user may not have access to the 2nd workbook being opened. But in our case, we're opening an XLA that is on the local machine, and I've confirmed that it is not
corrupt and accessible (read & write, just in case!) to Everyone.
2. This (very old) post (http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/open-method-workbooks-fails-excel-hosted-ie-t965608.html)
seems similar, but is talking about opening Excel inside of IE. This is not what we're doing - the link is supposed to (and does) open Excel outside of IE. Interestingly, Excel.exe is being launched with the "-embedded" flag, even
though it isn't running in the IE window. When launching Excel by opening the file locally, Excel.exe is run with the "/dde" flag instead. Clearly the "-embedded" mode is what is causing the problem. I could change the
links on the web page to use some JavaScript to open Excel differently... unfortunately, the links are actually generated by SharePoint (the Excel files are in a SP repository), so this is not really an option.
3. This Microsoft KB article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/268016) talks about problems opening an XLA directly from IE... but this is the case of a link pointing
directly to an XLA file, not opening a regular workbook that in turn opens an XLA, as is my case. In fact, this article specifically points out in the "More Information" section that "End users do not normally open XLAs; instead they open
an XLS that (if needed) loads one or more XLAs during startup." ==> precisely what I'm trying to do that is giving me the error!
I've replicated the situation with a very simple COM add-in (created in VS2010 using VB.Net) and a very simple XLA file (does nothing, just pops up a message in auto_open). For anyone wanting to try it out, here is the exact test case:
1. In Excel, create a simple XLA file containing only the following code, and save it in C:\TEMP\dummy.xla:
Sub Auto_Open()
MsgBox "Auto Open fired"
End Sub
2. In Visual Studio, create a new Excel 2010 Add-In. I created mine via Visual Basic, but I doubt the choice of language matters. Place the following code in ThisAddin.vb:
Public Class ThisAddIn
Private Sub ThisAddIn_Startup(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Startup
AddHandler Me.Application.WorkbookOpen, AddressOf Application_WorkbookOpen
End Sub
Private Sub ThisAddIn_Shutdown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Shutdown
End Sub
Sub Application_WorkbookOpen(ByVal workbook As Excel.Workbook)
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
If (Not workbook.Name.Contains("dummy.xla")) Then
MsgBox("Workbook open")
Application.Workbooks.Open("C:\temp\dummy.xla")
Application.Workbooks("dummy.xla").RunAutoMacros(Excel.XlRunAutoMacro.xlAutoOpen)
End If
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
MsgBox(Err.Description)
End Sub
End Class
3. Build & publish this add-in and install it on the same machine as the XLA created in step 1.
4. Create and save an empty Excel workbook (I called mine WayneTest1.xlsx) - save it locally (on your desktop), and put a copy somewhere on your web server (I put mine directly in c:\inetpub).
5. Create an HTML file with a link to that workbook, saving it to the same web server location - here is mine:
<html>
<body>
<a href="WayneTest1.xlsx">Link to Excel file</a>
</body>
</html>
6. Double click the workbook on your desktop (from step 4) - opens fine, I get the "workbook open" message, following by the "Auto Open fired" message.
7. In Internet Explorer, navigate to the HTML file specified in step 5 and click on the link - when prompted, select "Open" - I get the "workbook open" message, following by the error message "Open method of Workbooks class failed".
Here are a few things I've ruled out / tried so far:
- Unchecked all the "Protected View" settings in Excel, made no difference
- Unchecked all the "File block settings" in Excel, made no difference
- Made sure dummy.xla was open for read & write to Everyone
- Made sure the web page was in Trusted sites and set the security level to Low for those sites in IE
- Tried making the local desktop file (step 6) readonly, made no difference (i.e. launching it locally still worked fine)
- Tried using Excel 2013 - made no difference
Any ideas / suggestions?

Hello Wayne,

Moving a method from one class to another issues

Hi, im new. Let me explain what i am trying to achieve. I am basically trying to move a method from one class to another in order to refactor the code. However every time i do, the program stops working and i am struggling. I have literally tried 30 times these last two days. Can some one help please? If shown once i should be ok, i pick up quickly.
Help would seriously be appreciated.
Class trying to move from, given that this is an extraction:
class GACanvas extends Panel implements ActionListener, Runnable {
private WorldMenuItems speedMenuItems, designMenuItemsPlantGrowth, designMenuItemsPlantCount;
     private WorldMenuItems designMenuItemsPlantEaten, designMenuItemsApproximatePopulation;
     private WorldMenuItems designMenuItemsEatersBorn,designMenuItemsMutationProbability;
     private WorldMenuItems designMenuItemsCrossoverProbability;
MenuBar getMenuBar() {
          menuBar = new MenuBar();

          addSpeedItemsToMenuBar();
          addWorldDesignItemsToMenuBar();

Calling a TextFields get method from another class as a String

This is my first post so be kind....
I'm trying to create a login screen with Java Studio Creator. The Login.jsp has a Text Field for both the username and password. JSC automatically created get and set methods for these.
public class Login extends AbstractPageBean
private TextField usernameTF = new TextField();
public TextField getUsernameTF() {
return usernameTF;
public void setUsernameTF(TextField tf) {
this.usernameTF = tf;
private PasswordField passwordTF = new PasswordField();
public PasswordField getPasswordTF() {
return passwordTF;
public void setPasswordTF(PasswordField pf) {
this.passwordTF = pf;
My problem is in trying to call these methods from another class and return the value as a string.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

the method returns the textfield, so you just need to get its text
import java.awt.*;
class Testing
public Testing()
    Login login = new Login();
    System.out.println(login.getUsernameTF().getText());//<----
public static void main(String[] args){new Testing();}
class Login
private TextField usernameTF = new TextField("Joe Blow");
public TextField getUsernameTF() {
    return usernameTF;
}

P.S. All your variable names are screwed up. They should begin with a lower case letter.
Edit
Some other anomalies: you declared ValidUser as a Boolean and you imported java.lang. .... Why?

Another weird thing.
String Deposit = new String();

Can't add list element when calling a method from another class

I am trying to call a method in another class, which contains code listmodel.addElement("text"); to add an element into a list component made in that class.
I've put in System.out.println("passed"); in the method just to make sure if the method was being called properly and it displays normally.
I can change variables in the other class by calling the method with no problem. The only thing I can't do is get listmodel.addElement("text"); to add a new element in the list component by doing it this way.
I've called that method within it's class and it added the element with no problem. Does Java have limitations about what kind of code it can run from other classes? And if that's the case I'd really like to know just why.

There were no errors, just the element doesnt get added to the list by doing it this way
class showpanel extends JPanel implements ActionListener, MouseMotionListener {
       framepanel fp = new framepanel();
       --omitted--
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
              if(e.getSource() == button1){
                   fp.addLayer();
/*is in a different class file*/
class framepanel extends JPanel implements ActionListener{
        --omitted--
     public void addLayer(){
          listmodel.addElement("Layer"+numLayer);
          numLayer++;

Calling a non-static method from another Class

Hello forum experts:
Please excuse me for my poor Java vocabulary. I am a newbie and requesting for help. So please bear with me! I am listing below the program flow to enable the experts understand the problem and guide me towards a solution.
1. ClassA instantiates ClassB to create an object instance, say ObjB1 that
    populates a JTable.
2. User selects a row in the table and then clicks a button on the icon toolbar
    which is part of UIMenu class.
3. This user action is to invoke a method UpdateDatabase() of object ObjB1. Now I want to call this method from UIMenu class.
(a). I could create a new instance ObjB2 of ClassB and call UpdateDatabase(),
                                  == OR ==
(b). I could declare UpdateDatabase() as static and call this method without
     creating a new instance of ClassB.With option (a), I will be looking at two different object instances.The UpdateDatabase() method manipulates
object specific data.
With option (b), if I declare the method as static, the variables used in the method would also have to be static.
The variables, in which case, would not be object specific.
Is there a way or technique in Java that will allow me to reference the UpdateDatabase() method of the existing
object ObjB1 without requiring me to use static variables? In other words, call non-static methods in a static
way?
Any ideas or thoughts will be of tremendous help. Thanks in advance.

Hello Forum:
Danny_From_Tower, Encephalatic: Thank you both for your responses.
Here is what I have done so far. I have a button called "btnAccept" created in the class MyMenu.
and declared as public.
public class MyMenu {
    public JButton btnAccept;
     //Constructor
     public MyMenu()     {
          btnAccept = new JButton("Accept");
}     I instantiate an object for MyMenu class in the main application class MyApp.
public class MyApp {
     private     MyMenu menu;
     //Constructor
     public MyApp(){
          menu = new MyMenu();
     public void openOrder(){
           MyGUI MyIntFrame = new MyGUI(menu.btnAccept);
}I pass this button all the way down to the class detail02. Now I want to set up a listener for this
button in the class detail02. I am not able to do this.
public class MyGUI {
     private JButton acceptButton;
     private detail02 dtl1 = new detail02(acceptButton);
     //Constructor
     public AppGUI(JButton iButton){
     acceptButton = iButton;
public class detail02{
    private JButton acceptButton;
    //Constructor
    public detail02(JButton iButton){
      acceptButton = iButton;
      acceptButton.addActionListener(new acceptListener());
   //method
    private void acceptListener_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
       System.out.println("Menu item [" + e.getActionCommand( ) + "] was pressed.");
    class acceptListener implements ActionListener {
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
               acceptListener_actionPerformed(e);
} I am not able to get the button Listener to work. I get NullPointerException at this line
          acceptButton.addActionListener(new acceptListener());in the class detail02.
Is this the right way? Or is there a better way of accomplishing my objective?
Please help. Your inputs are precious! Thank you very much for your time!

why i m not able to use repaint() method in tower class? from where i can use repaint() method

i can't read your code - not formatted with code tags
I have no chance of getting it to compile (AboutDialog class?? p.draw() ??)
here's a basic routine - add a couple of things to this to demonstrate what is not
being redrawn
(compare the readability of below code (using tags) to yours)
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
class Testing extends JFrame
public Testing()
    setSize(400,300);
    setLocation(400,300);
    setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    final DrawPanel dp = new DrawPanel();
    JButton btn = new JButton("Change Text Location/Repaint");
    getContentPane().add(dp,BorderLayout.CENTER);
    getContentPane().add(btn,BorderLayout.SOUTH);
    btn.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
        dp.x = (int)(Math.random()*300);
        dp.y = (int)(Math.random()*150)+50;
        repaint();}});
