What is JAVAC: invalid argument

I have a program which compiles and runs but when I try to compile it in FORTE I get "JAVAC: invalid argument"
What argument is it talking about here? Nothing seems to help; from mounting file systems and setting classpaths in the compilers. Any idea what I'm not doing right?
Thanks.

Hi,
that is that misleading thing with error messages -
they state a condition, that was expected, but was not fullfilled - here it was invalid argument - an argument was expected, that javac can understand, it was missing and so the error message was brought up.
That is normal, an error message is definitely no advice, how to go on. If you will follow all the compiler-"suggestions" for example, you will get a syntactical correct program after a while, but you will be mislead to a program, that don't reflect the original semantic. Those messages are neither suggestions nor advice at all - they state a condition, that was not matched during execution - nothing more nothing less.
greetings Marsian

    }Hey everyone,
    I realize that the line inStream = myurl.openStream(); is creating error, I am getting invalid argument as a reason when I do the following:
    java GetURL http://www.google.com
    What's wrong with the url

    If you ask me, the only way you can get an 'invalid argument' message with a SocketException is by specifying a port number of zero or > 65535. I find it hard to believe that the author of that package really went to the pointless trouble of remapping the real exceptions into what he describes on that page, so I have to conclude that he probably just doesn't know what he's talking about.
    In reality, you get a ConnectException: connection refused for the first two cases he cites, and a ConnectException: connection timeout for the third.
    And what he has to say about 'connection reset by peer' is complete and utter drivel. It has only one cause: the peer has issued a TCP RST, which happens either on an abortive close, or in response to receiving data after the peer application has already closed his end of the connection.

  • [Amixer] Invalid Argument - Sound but not levels

    \o/
    I recently bought a USB Headset. I'm using ALSA without Pulseaudio. The sound is working fine, but I have a problem setting levels etc.
    When I open amixer and the default card is set to the headset, the mixer fails to load with
    amixer: Mixer default load error: Invalid argument
    I have read the whole internets about this. The usb-snd kernel module is loaded properly.
    Some intel users have fixed their issue with using mode=generic. But if i'm correct this will disable 7.1 playback ability.
    This is the output from

    A frickload of kudos to anybody that will either be able to recommend an alternative mixer (without having to install OSS/Pulse) or be able to link or recommend a fix.
    Kind regards,
    Mastermind

    So I just spent another couple of hours battling with alsa.
    I went from sound but no mixer, to no sound at all. And then back to having sound again after 4 hours of command mashing. All that after just a weekend in suspend/standby.
    The only difference I could detect was that the subdevice on the card changed, but simply defining (and alsa restoring) that one in the ~/.asoundrc did not do the trick.
    I also came across a more detailed error with the crashing alsamixer.
    /usr/share/alsa/init/default:171: value write error: Invalid argument
    /usr/share/alsa/init/default:185: value write error: Invalid argument
    Commenting these lines did not fix the error.
    Some more outputs:

  • "invalid argument" error message when connecting to the App store after upgrading iphone 4 to 5.0 firmware

    Hi everyone,
    I have seen many topics about this problem but none of them helped and they seem to date a little bit so I would like to ask again.
    here is the situation :
    we have two iphone 4 in the house and everything was going fine until we did the update to the new 5.0 firmware. there was no problem while the update had only been applied to the first iphone... but after updating the second one, we now have the same problem on both iphones. We can still connect to the internet from the iphone just fine but the connection is erratic at best with the itunes store because we keep getting cut by this dreaded error message "connection to the itunes store impossible, "invalid argument" occasionnally we'd get a different message that says "connection reset by peer"
    - what is invalid argument mean anyway???
    - I have tried to renew the lease in the network settings, it didn't work
    - I have tried to reset the network setting, it didn't help
    - I have checked in the network setting for the IP address, it starts with 192.xx.xx..... which is supposed to be a good thing as opposed to 162.xx.xx....
    - I have reset my router, nothing happened...
    - I have tried unauthorising my computer to any accounts because we were afraid that using two iphones with two different itunes store accounts one the same computer may have caused these problems.. but no luck
    I am running out of ideas, I would like to renew my frustration to apple because we buy these expensive products and still seem to suffers from stupid bugs... I was under the impression that these things were tested !!! anyway if anyone has found a definitive solution to this problem (short of burning your iphone out of anger) it would be deeply appreciated.
    thx

  • Disk Utility create image error - "Invalid Argument"  - on USB drive.

    I wanted to use a USB 2.0 drive that I share with a Windows machine to backup my son's iBook. I divided the drive into two partitions and formatted the iBook backup partition as FAT32. I attempted to create a read-only disk image on the USB drive in order to backup the iBook, but it does not complete successfully - it terminates with an "Invalid Argument" error. I also tried creating a read/write disk image and that terminates with an error "File or Folder not found." Anyone have any tips or clues as to what may be the problem?
    iBook   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    I figured out my problem to some extent. I was not creating an empty image, but was trying to create a disk image without selecting a folder. Once I selected create an empty image from the File menu I did not get the error and was able to create an empty image on the USB drive.

  • Couldn't export schema because of invalid argument value and other errors.

    Hello, All.
    I am using an oracle 10g database, which is running on a Redhat9 linux server, to manage our lab information.
    I plan to export a schema (only tables, not the real data) into a file.
    First, I used the Enterprise Manager to export. I went through and complete the export job. After submitting, the system says:
    There is a problem writing to the export files: ORA-39094: Parallel execution not supported in this database edition..
    So I just copy the PL/SQL code which would be send to the source database and comment the set_parallel procedure.
    The code is listed here:
    declare
    h1 NUMBER;
    begin
    begin
    h1 := dbms_datapump.open (operation => 'EXPORT', job_mode => 'SCHEMA', job_name => 'EXPORT000468', version => 'COMPATIBLE');
    end;
    --begin
    --dbms_datapump.set_parallel(handle => h1, degree => 1);
    --end;
    begin
    dbms_datapump.add_file(handle => h1, filename => 'EXPDAT.LOG', directory => 'DATA_FILE_DIR', filetype => 3);
    end;
    begin
    dbms_datapump.set_parameter(handle => h1, name => 'KEEP_MASTER', value => 0);
    end;
    begin
    dbms_datapump.metadata_filter(handle => h1, name => 'SCHEMA_EXPR', value => 'IN(''FLOWLIMS'')');
    end;
    begin
    dbms_datapump.set_parameter(handle => h1, name => 'ESTIMATE', value => 'BLOCKS');
    end;
    begin
    dbms_datapump.add_file(handle => h1, filename => 'EXPDAT%U.DMP', directory => 'DATA_FILE_DIR', filetype => 1);
    end;
    begin
    dbms_datapump.set_parameter(handle => h1, name => 'INCLUDE_METADATA', value => 1);
    end;
    begin
    dbms_datapump.data_filter(handle => h1, name => 'INCLUDE_ROWS', value => 0);
    end;
    begin
    dbms_datapump.set_parameter(handle => h1, name => 'DATA_ACCESS_METHOD', value => 'AUTOMATIC');
    end;
    begin
    dbms_datapump.start_job(handle => h1, skip_current => 0, abort_step => 0);
    end;
    begin
    dbms_datapump.detach(handle => h1);
    end;
    end;
    I paste the code in an SQL*Plus session and execute it. The system says:
    declare
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-39001: invalid argument value
    ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SYS_ERROR", line 79
    ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_DATAPUMP", line 2486
    ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_DATAPUMP", line 2718
    ORA-06512: at line 23
    I am not very sure which part is wrong for I have exported another schema successfully using this method just now.
    Any advice is highly appreciated!
    Qian

    Well, I will list more details about how to complete the job here.
    1) Go to the Enterprise Manager, log in as FLOWLIMS (I just want to export the schema FLOWLIMS)
    2)Go to the "Maitenance"
    3)Under the "Utilities", select the "Export to files"
    4)in the next page: Export: Export Type, select "Schemas"
    5) in the next page, select the schema "FLOWLIMS"
    6) in the next page, select these parameters:
    Maximam Number of Threads in Export job: 1
    Estimate Disk Space: Blockes
    7) when I click the "Estimate Disk Space Now", it says :
    Export Estimate Failed
    There is a problem writing to the export files: ORA-39094: Parallel execution not supported in this database edition..
    8) So I give up extimating
    9) Other options:
    I select "Generate Log file"
    The Directory Object is the default value "DATA_FILE_DIR"
    The Log File is the default value "EXPDAT.LOG"
    10) the advanced options are like these:
    Content: What to export from the Source Database: "Metadata only"
    Export content: "include all objects"
    Flashback: select "As the specified System Change Number (SCN)
    SCN: just accept the default number 28901412
    Query: select nothing. I need all fields of all tables.
    11) in the next page, I accept the default directory object "DATA_FILE_DIR" and the default File Name "EXPDAT%U.DMP". The Maximam File Size is blank, I just leave it blank.
    12) in the next page "Schedule" , I select to start the job immediatly.
    13) in the next page "Review", it shows:
    Export Type          Schemas
    Statistics type          Estimate optimizer statistics when data is imported
    Parallelism          1
    Files to Export          DATA_FILE_DIR EXPDAT%U.DMP
    Log File          DATA_FILE_DIR EXPDAT.LOG
    and the PL/SQL is like that:
    declare
    h1 NUMBER;
    begin
    begin
    h1 := dbms_datapump.open (operation => 'EXPORT', job_mode => 'SCHEMA', job_name => 'EXPORT000487', version => 'COMPATIBLE');
    end;
    begin
    dbms_datapump.set_parallel(handle => h1, degree => 1);
    end;
    begin
    dbms_datapump.add_file(handle => h1, filename => 'EXPDAT.LOG', directory => 'DATA_FILE_DIR', filetype => 3);
    end;
    begin
    dbms_datapump.set_parameter(handle => h1, name => 'KEEP_MASTER', value => 0);
    end;
    begin
    dbms_datapump.metadata_filter(handle => h1, name => 'SCHEMA_EXPR', value => 'IN(''FLOWLIMS'')');
    end;
    begin
    dbms_datapump.set_parameter(handle => h1, name => 'ESTIMATE', value => 'BLOCKS');
    end;
    begin
    dbms_datapump.add_file(handle => h1, filename => 'EXPDAT%U.DMP', directory => 'DATA_FILE_DIR', filetype => 1);
    end;
    begin
    dbms_datapump.set_parameter(handle => h1, name => 'INCLUDE_METADATA', value => 1);
    end;
    begin
    dbms_datapump.data_filter(handle => h1, name => 'INCLUDE_ROWS', value => 0);
    end;
    begin
    dbms_datapump.set_parameter(handle => h1, name => 'DATA_ACCESS_METHOD', value => 'AUTOMATIC');
    end;
    begin
    dbms_datapump.start_job(handle => h1, skip_current => 0, abort_step => 0);
    end;
    begin
    dbms_datapump.detach(handle => h1);
    end;
    end;
    14) after I click the "submit" , it shows:
    Export Submit Failed
    There is a problem writing to the export files: ORA-39094: Parallel execution not supported in this database edition..
    15) I copy the PL/SQL, comment this part:
    --begin
    --dbms_datapump.set_parallel(handle => h1, degree => 1);
    --end;
    I run it in an iSQL*Plus Release 10.1.0.2,
    It shows:
    declare
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-39001: invalid argument value
    ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SYS_ERROR", line 79

    ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_DATAPUMP", line 2718
    ORA-06512: at line 23
    Could anybody help? Thanks a lot!

    Just since this week, my T61 started poping up very annoying dialog titled ' Power Manager Gauge', which was saying: An invalid argument was encountered. I don't know where this problem come from as T61 works fine since I bought it in Oct. 2007. Could anyone tell me (or give me a hint) what this problem is and where I can find the solution?
    My computer system info is as following:
      System Make: ThinkPad T61 8897CTO
      OS: Windows Vista SP2 en-us
      RAM: 2GB
      Battery: 6 cell battery
      ThinkVantage software: All updated to the latest via ThinkVantage System Update
      Installed software: Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, Adobe Photoshop CS4, MS Office Enterprise 2007...
    Your help will be greatly appreciated.

    I'm having the same problem on my T61. It just recently started to happen. It seems to occur randomly and anytime that I try to access the Thinkpad Power Manager. I'll try to uninstall the Thinkpad Power Manager program and download and reinstall it. I never had the problem while running Vista 64-bit, and it only recently started while running Win7 64-bit. I'll let you know what happens after reinstallation.
    UPDATE: I uninstalled and reinstalled the Thinkpad Power Manager and, after the required restart, all is back to normal with no more irritating '...invalid argument...' messages.

  • TS1368 " Cannot connect to I Tunes store. Invalid argument "

    Using iPhone mobile:
    When I tried to update an App, listed by the AppStore App, as needing an update, I received this pop-up message: "Cannot connect to ITunes Store. invalid argument."
    What might I do to correct the problem?
    • I have created a new password,
    • I have shut down and restarted the App
    • I have shut down and restarted my iPhone,
    • I have been told to log in to ITunes Store  but don't know how.
    Baffled and needing guidance.
    PapaNeuf

    You can look through Apple's support article that addresses this issue.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
    This "fix" was working for some users recently.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to update the apps again. If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try to update the apps again.

  • ORA-27102: out of memory SVR4 Error: 22: Invalid argument

    Hi all,
    I'm doing an install of a Solaris 10.2, Oracle 10.2 system. During the Create Database phase, I am getting;
    ORA-27102: out of memory SVR4 Error: 22: Invalid argument
    Doing some research, and reading through the details here:
    Link: [http://technopark02.blogspot.com/2006/09/solaris-10oracle-fixing-ora-27102-out.html]
    I think my issue is my SHM parameters, reinforced by the repeated entry in the Oracle Alert log:
    +WARNING: EINVAL creating segment of size 0x0000000085000000+*
    +fix shm parameters in /etc/system or equivalent+*
    when the create fails.
    I am not familar with Solaris' new project mechanism, although from what I have read, it seems to be set up properly.
    Here are my server details:
    # prtconf | grep Mem
    Memory size: 8192 Megabytes
    # prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -i project 200
    project: 200: QBI
    NAME    PRIVILEGE       VALUE    FLAG   ACTION                       RECIPIENT
    project.max-shm-memory
            privileged      10.0EB      -   deny                                 -
            system          16.0EB    max   deny                                 -
    And as for Oracle:
    shared_pool_size = 1522029035
    shared_pool_reserved_size = 152202903
    pga_aggregate_target = 2705829396
    sga_max_size = 3439329280
    db_cache_size = 1159641169
    During the course of troubleshooting, I have:
    1 - Increased the amount of SHM allocated in the project. I have tried 16GB, 8 GB, 10 GB, 11GB etc, to no effect, so I reset it to 10GB (as seen above) and focused my efforts elsewhere.
    2. SHARED_POOL_SIZE - I have decreased this by roughly 75% from the original value, again to no effect.
    3. PGA and SGA sizes - I have increased these from the original values by an increment of 25%
    Following the advice from the referenced blog (which does a good job of explaining the logic behind the actions) I have determined that the Alert log error message is telling me that it is lacking
    2231369728
    (Hex conversion value, which I think I need to read as 2GB, not 100% sure)
    I've increased my project allocation, and the PGA sizes, did I just not do it enough?
    Any advice?
    Thanks for any input,
    Troy Shane

  • Failed to retrieve data from the database/invalid argument provided when employing link between two web services datasources

    Post Author: vpost
    CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
    I am trying to join information from two related web services within CR XI. I have successfully set up the web services as data sources have been able to get to the point where I get good data back. However, when I try to pull in certain fields, I get an error that says "Failed to retrieve data from the database/invalid argument provided". Here's the scenario:
    The web services are structured as follows:Web Service 1 (Artist) has attributes of Artist Name and Date of Birth.Web Service 2 (CD) has attributes of CD Title and Release Date. Underneath each CD are songs, each of which have a Song Title and Artist Name.
    I have defined both web services and defined a link between Artist.Artist Name and CD/Song.Artist Name. I am able to run a report with Song Title and Date of Birth that crosses web services. I am able to run another report with Song Title and CD Title that crosses the different levels in the second web service. However, if I add CD Title to the first report or Date of Birth to the second (both of which effectively force CR to employ the link between the two web services AND the CD/Song hierarchical structure in the second web service, I get the aforementioned error.
    Any assistance understanding how multiple web services can be linked in this manner would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Not sure about your exact situation, but having similar problem with another application and have tracked down to security. Added user to group Domain Admin and it works fine. It appears to be accessing a subdirectory which it does not have permission to use and then times out and returns the "invalid....". Seems that once the query just over a certain size (and I'm not sure what triggers this) it needs to make use of temparory file disk, intead of ram.
    I'm still trying to track down which temporary it's trying to uses - so if you have any ques.
    cheers

  • PosixSocketMuxer: unexpected exception in poll: (22) Invalid argument

    I'm running JDeveloper 12.x using WLS 12.1.1.0.0. The server starts fine, but when I launch the WLS console, the web browser appears (deploying WLS console...) then goes blank. The WLS console has repeated this exception:

    I'm running Mac OS 10.6.7 in 64-bit mode.
    There is no additional stack trace information in the server or the default domain log.
    Is there any way around this? Can I edit something in config.xml or startWebLogic.sh as a workaround?

    Some notes concerning running WebLogic on Max OS are presented, maybe they help - http://blogs.oracle.com/wahmed/entry/installing_weblogics_10_3_1
    Looking at the error "java.io.IOException: unexpected exception in poll: (22) Invalid argument at weblogic.socket.PosixSocketMuxer.poll(Native Method)"
    which is related to the socket muxer. By default, a native socket muxer is used - could be this is not working on MAC.
    What you can try to do is enable the Java based muxer, by editing the config.xml, for example,
    <server>
        <name>AdminServer</name>

  • NIO - Invalid argument (errno:22)

    We have a mutlthreaded framework that spawns many individual threads with each merging extremely large files (1-3GB) to their own [thread] seperate files. We are using Java 1.4.2.10 and running on HP-UX.
    The following is the bit of code that does our appending:
    FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(fileName);
    FileChannel in = fileInputStream.getChannel();
    fileChannel.transferFrom(in, fileChannel.size(), in.size());
    in.close();
    fileInputStream.close();Now the grave issue that we have is that occasionaly we get the following "Invalid argument" error being thrown without any given specific reason. This error is not necessarily reproducable every time.
    java.io.IOException: Invalid argument (errno:22)
            at sun.nio.ch.FileChannelImpl.map0(Native Method)
            at sun.nio.ch.FileChannelImpl.map(FileChannelImpl.java:876)
            at sun.nio.ch.FileChannelImpl.transferFromFileChannel(FileChannelImpl.java:535)
            at sun.nio.ch.FileChannelImpl.transferFrom(FileChannelImpl.java:598)Any insight on this error (being an existing bug, etc) would be most useful.

    Can you expand on the reason why you have chosen to
    transfer 1MB at a time? Won't this have a performance
    impact when transfering a 100MB file (we loop through
    it 100 times as opposed to once).Have a think about how long it takes to transfer a megabyte and how long it takes to execute two or three lines of loop bookkeeping code 100 times, and you will see that the 'overhead' is negligible. The loop will spend 99% of its time transferring and 1% looping. Probably the true ratio is even more extreme.
    In any case you don't have a choice but to reduce the transfer chunk considerably. It's up to you to find the optimum for your hardware, O/S, files, disk drives, etc.
    The other question that I am really interested to
    know the answer for, is why is thsi error being
    thrown?That's been explained above in replies #1 and #2. You agreed with it yourself in reply #3.
    Why do you suggest changing the copy size out of all things?Err, because that's what causes the error? As in replies #1, #2, and #3?

    I'm sure that exception can be caused by the firewall.The exception below is what is caused by a firewall. Anyway the OP said that it worked fine running as a windows service, so that would rule-out a firewall. Also connections to 'localhost' don't go through the firewall.
    Expecting people to know that 'try a different JVM' I already explained that
    my initial diagnosis was incorrectHave a nice day.
