Type cast problem......

Hi all,
I'm too new to java. Can somebody help me in this code....
public class a{
     static double x = 4.5678d;
     static float y = float(x);
     public static void main(String args[])
          System.out.println("The number is: "+y);
}when compiled its giving.....
D:\GID\a.java:3: '.class' expected
     static float y = float(x);
                              ^
1 error
Tool completed with exit code 1what to do??
Thanks in advance....

To cast, surround the target type
static double x = 4.5678d;
static float y = (float) x;

Type casting problem in the JSP

Hi,
I am type casting an Object variable to a interface Variable. I am not getting any error if i have the same code in the servlet but i am getting ClassCast Exception if i have the same code in the Scriplets part of the JSP.
The code is as follows
String strKey = " SomeString";
Context context = new InitialContext();
java.lang.Object obj = null;
     obj = context.lookup(strKey);
     ContentBroker objCB = null;
     objCB = (ContentBroker)obj; // Error is happening here
ContentBroker is an inteface.
I have included the jar files of ContentBroker in the classpath.
Can anyone please tell me how to eliminate this error.?
thanks in advance,
Saravanan

In that case it's a classloader issue.
Since the object is bound in the context, I assume that you have made the class available to your server, and you have the class in WEB-INF/classes or in a jar inside WEB-INF/lib.
Since they're being loaded by two different classloaders, the classes are seen as different by the JVM, thus the ClassCastException.
Try removing the class from the web-app and let us know what happens.
BTW. Which servlet container are you using?

Hi type casting problem..

I got an arraylist which contains some words..arralist return type is obj..
i want to store these words into string array..
how to solve this problem..
regards,

You can do this to transfer the ArrayList contents to a String[], assuming of course ArrayList does just contain String objects
String[] strArr = new String[arrList.size()];
arrList.toArray(strArr);

             anObj =(Object[]) hashDisplayUserDetails.get(strHashKey);
             System.out.print(anObj.toString());
     catch (Exception e)
          e.printStackTrace();
}giving me an error in the typecasting.
i need to accept the values of the hastable in an object array.
please help.

this is the error i m facing.
java.lang.ClassCastException
at
BulkSmsFunctions.arrHashObjects(maincls.java:450)Well, the cast you are doing in line 450, whichever one that is, is invalid. I told you the reasons. Hint: use a debugger or System.out.println to determine the object's class when you get it from the map*before* you cast it.

Is it possible to make a type cast in TestStand?

I've got the following problem.
I use a receive function which waits for an undefined package. (struct package).
The problem is i can't specify the module with the exaxt package.
Generally in C i define a Pointer and create enough buffer for it. Is it the same in TestStand?
Is it possible to make a type cast?
for example:
i've got these packages
struct packet;
struct data;
the function does not know which structure to receive.
err = receive(buffer,maxlen);
how do i specify the buffer variable?
can i create a type "void" with a String to have enough buffer.
and then to make a type cast, for example "Locals.dataobject = ((data)Locals.buffer)"
any ideas?
thx for help

Unfortunately there is no way to do type-casts in TestStand. What you could do is write a wrapper-dll in C, that has for example two parameters for both possible structs. The dll then takes one of the parameters, does the typecast and passes it on to your original dll.
From TestStand you can pass the struct(or better container in the "TestStand language") you want to use to the accoridng parameter of the wrapper-dll, leaving the other parameter empty or with some default-value.
Hope this helps!

Help needed in data type casting

I have a java program which will receive data and its type in the String format. During program execution, the data in the String data has to be converted into the respective data type and assigned to a variable of that data type so that it could be used in the program. Programmer may not know the type of data that the value has to be converted into.
I really got struck up with this. This is a RMI application and one process node is sending the data to another node in the String format and the type of data it should get converted into so that it can be converted into the respective type and used for computation.
Can you understand what I am asking for ....if you can pls help and it is highly appreciated

I dont know whether i ahve expressed it correctly
look at this code
dataPacket sendtoNode = send.senDatatoNode(inputReq);
String recnodnum = sendtoNode.nodeNum;
String recvarnum = sendtoNode.varNum;
String recvartype = sendtoNode.dataType;
String recvalvalue     = sendtoNode.dataVal;
int num;     int type;
double result;
// here in this case the result variable type is double
if (recvartype.equals("int")){
          type = 1;
     result = Integer.parseInt(recvalvalue); will pose problem
     else
     if (recvartype.equals("double")){
          type = 2;
          result = Double.parseDouble(recvalvalue);
     else
     if(recvartype.equals("float")){
          type =3;
          result = Float.parseFloat(recvalvalue); will pose problem
     else
     if(recvartype.equals("Boolean")){
          if ((recvalvalue.equals("true")) || (recvalvalue.equals("TRUE")))
          type = 4;
          result = Boolean.parseBoolean(recvalvalue); will pose problem
     else
     if(recvartype.equals("char")){
          type = 5;
          result = (char)recvalvalue; will pose problem
else
if(recvartype.equals("String")){
     type = 6;
          result = recvalvalue; will pose problem
     else
     if(recvartype.equals("byte")){
          type = 7;
          result = Byte.parseByte(recvalvalue); will pose problem
     else
     if(recvartype.equals("long")){
          type = 8;
          result = Long.parseLong(recvalvalue); will pose problem
     else
     if(recvartype.equals("short")){
          type = 9;
          result = Short.parseShort(recvalvalue); will pose problem
     //forvarval varvalue = new forvarval();
     //varvalue.forvarval(recvartype, recvalvalue);
// this has to be done after sorting the problem of type casting string result = recvalvalue;
//result = value; //<this will surely give me a problem as i m assigning string to double>??
send.host(result);
System.out.println("result received and the result is " +recvalvalue );
now i need to assign the converted string in to a variable and use in the compuation ..thts where the challenge n not in teh conversion process...

Splitting and type casting huge string into arrays

Hello,
I'm developing an application which is supposed to read measurement files. Files contain I16 and SGL data which is type casted into string. I16 data is data from analog input and SGL is from CAN-bus data in channel form. CAN and analog data is recorded using same scan rate.
For example, if we have 6 analog channels and 2 CAN channels string will be (A represents analog and C represents CAN):
A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 C1 C2 A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 C1 C2 A1 A2 .... and so on
Anyway, I have problems reading this data fast enough into arrays. Most obvious solution to me was to use shift registers and split string in for loop. I created a for loop with two inner for loops. Number of scans to read from string is wired to N terminal of the outermost loop. Shift register is initialized with string read from file.
First of the inner loops reads analog input data. Number of analog channels is wired to its N terminal. It's using split string to read 2 bytes at a time and then type casts data to I16. Rest of the string is wired to shift register. When every I16 channel from scan is read, rest of the string is passed to shift register of the second for loop.
Second loop is for reading CAN channels. It's similar to first loop except data is read 4 bytes at a time and type casted to SGL. When every CAN channel from scan is read, rest of the string is passed to shift register of the outermost loop. Outputs of type cast functions are tunneled out of loops to produce 2D arrays.
This way reading about 500 KB of data can take for example tens of seconds depending on PC and number of channels. That's way too long as we want to read several megabytes at a time.
I created also an example with one inner loop and all data is type casted to I16. That is extremely fast when compared to two inner loops!
Then I also made a test with two inner loops where I replaced shift register and split string with string subset. That's also faster than two inner loops + shift register, but still not fast enough. Any improvement ideas are highly appreciated. Shift register example attached (LV 7.1)
Thanks in advance,

OK, there is clearly room for improvement. I did some timing and my two above suggestions are already about 100x faster than yours. A few teeaks led to a version that is now over 500x faster than the original code.
A few timings on my rather slow computer (1GHz PIII Laptop) are shown on the front panel. For example with 10000 scans (~160kB data as 6+2) my new fastest version (Reshape II) takes 14 ms versus the original 7200ms! It can do 100000 scans (1.6MB data) in under 200 ms and 1000000 scans (15MB data) in under 2 seconds.
I am sure the code could be further improved. I recommend the Reshape II algoritm. It is fastest and can deal with variable channel counts. Modify as needed.
Attached is a LabVIEW 7.1 version of the benchmarking code, containing all algorithms. I have verified that all algorithms produce the same result (with the limitation that the cluster version only works for 6*I16+2*SGL data, of course). Remember that the reshape function is extremely efficient, because it does not move the data in memory. I have some ideas for further improvements, but this should get you going.

Dynamic Type casting

Can we dynamically type-cast an object reference passed to Object Clss to that specific class?
Here is what I want to do.
I am going to pass an object reference to a method, which has Object class as parameter to it, as shown below. Using getClass() or some other way, I want to dynamically typecast this reference to the original Class and call some method of this Class.
void test (Object ref1){
((ref1.getClass())ref1).writeLog();
By doing this, am I violating the basic Object Orineted rules?

I mean, consider an hypothetical case (which is wrong
from OO point of view) that there are suppose 10
classes in my system. None of them related to each
other, all are independent classes. But each one has a
method called, writeLog(). Now I want to write one
method which will be called by each of these classes
(in some 11th class), which will have "Object" as a
parameter. Now using the actual reference I want to
call the corresponding writeLog() method.
1 - Point out to management that the design is now officially broken.
2 - Point out that if the design is not fixed then any solution that impliments the changes will cost more to maintain in the future and will likely lead to instabilities in the system (due to complexity.)
3 - Implement one of the suggested solutions and make sure that you put in a lot of error checking and logging in the hacked solution.
4 - Produce extensive documentation about the impact of changing any of the objects that you are relying on. Push it to anyone and everyone that might ever touch or even suggest changes to the code.
Doing all of the above allows you to live stress free when the next revision breaks because someone didn't understand the implications of your hacked solution. You will be able to find the problem quickly and point out that it had nothing to do with your code but rather because someone else did not follow the complete documentation that you produced. And then when they complain that your solution was a hack you can point out that you explained that previously as well.

USE OF Type cast function ?

can any one explain the use of type cast function with help of example please i am not able to understand the explaination given in ni.com site

LabVIEW provides a function called Type Cast, which allows data to pass through it unchanged while the type of the wire changes. Please refer to the given link which elaborates on the type cast function with required instances.

Why we use type casting ' ?='

Hii Team
sample code for fetching the input value from search view which is connected to btq1order contextnode
DATA : lr_qs TYPE REF TO cl_crm_bol_dquery_service,
lr_qr TYPE REF TO if_bol_bo_col,
lr_qs ?= me->typed_context->btq1order->collection_wrapper->get_current( ).
lr_qr = lr_qs->get_query_result( ).
I am new to SAP CRM .while understanding the code i got stuck in one problem that ,
1.what is the main purpose behind
TYPE CASTING ie; '?='
2.what happens if we write ?= becoz if we write '=' instead of '?=' the system thows an error.
3.when to use this operator ?= and when we cannot use ?
It is used almost every where in BOL coding .please help me by giving complete explaination with an example if possible.
Thanks in Advance

Hi Abhishek,
Please check returning parameter type for get_current_dquery() method. In case returning type is mutually convertible then you don't have to use type casting.
But in case where you are taking results in some other type where results are compatible but with different structure then you use type casting.
best example would be cl_crm_bol_entity and if_bol_bo_property_access. Here property access is an interface to class and hence we use type casting.
Please refer to:
type casting
You can find more documentation on internet if you search for type casting.

Type Casting? When to use this concept?

There is one question bothering me very very much.
When should I use type casting?
For example
ClassNameQ c = (ClassNameQ) ......displayable
How do I know which 'cast type' to use? Is there a suitable pattern
we need to follow so that we can know 'Ah this is the cast
we need to use'
Please can any one point out which 'Cast type' points needs to be
followed?
Regards

You can Cast an object from any subclass to its superclass,
or from a superclass to the sublass, if the object is already
an object of the subclass.
I have a class named Name:
public class Name {
I have a subclass named LastName:
public class LastName extends Name { [/b]
And another named FirstName:
[b]public class FirstName extends Name { [/b]
I create an object like this:
[b]LastName ln = new LastName("Johnson");
Then pass it to a method that can work on all names:
capitalFirstLetter(ln);
capitalFirstLetter(Name n) {
Now n in CapitalFirstLetter can be used only as a Name
object. Anything specific to the LastName object can't be used.
So if I need to use things specific to LastName I have to cast
the object to LastName. There is a problem, however, since this
method can work on all Names, so I don't know if the Name is
a LastName or not. The object itself DOES know, however, and
we can test, so we would cast to a subclass as follows:
if (n instanceof LastName) {
LastName ln = (LastName)n;
ln.addToGeneology();
} else of (n instanceof FirstName) {
FirstName fn = (FirstName)n;
fn.addOccurance();

Type Casting to a Class

I'm getting an instance of a class through the newInstance() method.I want to access that class members through this newly created object.But to do this, I have to typecast the object by its class name.In my case, the class is a dynamic one(i.e., unknown at the time of creating that object).I get the class name as a string through the getName() method.
HOW CAN I DO THE TYPE CASTING OR IS THERE ANY OTHER METHOD TO SOLVE THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM.
Example :
In this example, i have created an object t2 in the same class.but,in actual case, that object is created in some other program called test2. And test2 doesnt know abt the class(test1) being used.And is being determined at runtime (i.e., dynamical).
class test1
     int i = 10;
     String s;
     public static void main(String a[]) throws InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException, ClassNotFoundException
          test1 t = new test1();
          System.out.println("I = " + t.i);
          System.out.println("Class Name = " + t.getClass().getName());
          t.s = t.getClass().getName();
          Object t2 = t.getClass().newInstance();
          System.out.println("t2 I = " + ((test1)t2).i);
          System.out.println("t2 Class Name = " + t2.getClass().getName());

If you have no idea what members the class could have in compile time, then how can you set them in runtime?
I think you should give another though to your OO design...

Type casting or something of the sort

This might sound stupid, but I have a 25 character something such as:
1hjfu7y4$y*3fji2389561##k
and I do not know what type it is. It is not a string though, and that is the problem. Is there any sort of equivalent in AS to type casting of c++? Some sort of way to dynamically make this into a string?

typeof():
trace(typeof(1hjfu7y4$y*3fji2389561##k));

Type casting in JAX-RPC

Hello
I was trying to do a JAX-RPC application, and I had some problems with type casting. My application worked fine with primitive types, vectors of primitive types, and beans with primitive type properties. But it didn't work with vectors of beans, or ArrayList's of beans... It couldn't deserialize the result on client side... Can anyone help?
The Java Web Services Tutorial says that JAX-RPC supports beans and vectors, but I had the impression that this is not a "recursive" support, like "beans with vectors" or "vectors of beans"... Does it make sense?
By the way, I was using a DII client...
Thanks,
Alexandre Murakami

Hello!
Thanks for the reply! I can't put the code of my application here (because it's quite big and it's from work)... But I followed the dii client example from the Web Services Tutorial...
I'm trying to do a kind of a general client... The parameters are the URL of the service, the name of the operation, a list of parameters and the return type class.. And it takes the rest of the service information from the WSDL file... About the return type, I take the QName of the return type from the WSDL:
<message>
<part name="result" type="...">...
then I call the call.setReturnType(QName, Class) method. The return type was an array of a very simple bean, something like:
class Person {
String name;
int age;
public String getName() {...}
public void setName(...) {...}
public int getAge() {...}
public void setAge(...) {...}
I don't know if the information I put here is enough... but anyway, thanks for the reply!

Why do we require Type Casting?

Hi,
In short can you guys share your experience and expalin me why and when do we require type casting of objetcs.I would appericiate if i get a simple application as an example.

regards
VickyWhy do you need this again?
Well, really you need type casting because you want to be able to check for errors at compile time. You actually don't need any type casting if you just wait to link all your code at runtime.
Normally your function calls are checked vs the real 'type' at compile time to see if you are calling the function with the proper types and number of arguments. same with returning. However, you don't have to do this, just look at any scripting language. All that is checked at runtime.
Problems with not checking at compile time are mostly speed and corectness errors. The runtime might decide to call a different function then the one you wanted because at runtime a 'better' one was found. Of course now you would get a link error at runtime and the code would just not execute. There would be problems with overriding and hiding of functions, etc.
Also, since you can't link ahead of time it takes longer to execute functions since you have to find them everytime they are called.
The advantage is that you can be lazy about typing.
Typecasting primitaves are a whole other problem. I'm not even going to go into that, but check out scripting languages for examples of autocasting primitives.
