Accessing Of Static Members Using Null Reference
Mar 21, 2014
Why static member are allowed to be accessed with class-name and a null reference?
Here's the given code.
class Employee{
public static Integer companyId = 1001; // this could be private.
public static Integer getCompanyId(){
return Employee.companyId;
}
//a setter method will be here if the companyId will be private.
}
public class TestStatic{
public static void main(String[] args){
Employee emp =null;
emp.companyId = 11111;
System.out.println(emp.getCompanyId());
}
}
In this code the static members of a class are accessible by the null reference of that class.
These can also be access by the class (Employee.companyId or Employee.getCompanyId()).
What is the difference here in both. why a null reference can access these static members.

I have a problem with this ascii animation program I am working on. I declared a method inside of my class AsciiAnimation extends JFrame implements ActionListener, called
package AsciiAnimation;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import javax.swing.*;
public class AsciiAnimation extends JFrame implements ActionListener{
int currentFrame = 0;
ArrayList<String> frameList = new ArrayList<String>();
[Code] ....
Basically I just am trying to figure out how java works with me accessing those 2 data members, currentFrame and frameList inside of my first class ALL in the same package.

I am trying to implement the following example to override the equality and hashCode method if the class has reference type member. I do get the expected result "true" for equal and "false" for non-equal objects. But the print statement in the Circle's equal method is not executed when the objects values are not equal. I don't know what i am missing, though i get the equality result "false" as expected for non equal objects.
class Point{
private int x, y;
Point (int x, int y) {
this.x =x;
this.y = y;
[code]....

This is my code inside the method:
@Post
public static String getDetails(Representation entity) throws Exception {
String customerId = getQuery().getValues("cus_id");
}
I use this code in Restlet Representation. I try to get the value from the Request API. But I am facing the problem as "Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method getQuery() from the type Resource".

When importing static members of a class. Why are they only accessible within the constructor of the calling class, and not outside of it? Here's the source code to understand my question.
package Certification;
public class ExamQuestion {
static public int marks ;
static public void print(){
System.out.println(100);

I can't figure out what this error message "Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method getEndUserCharge(long, long, long, long) from the type UpdateUserWS" actually means.
The error is coming from:
public void updateDetailsPackage() {
some unrelated code
long zero=0;
double endUserCharge=0;
endUserCharge = UpdateUserWS.getEndUserCharge(long zero, long zero, long zero, long zero); <-------- error is here
[Code] ....

Alright, I have two classes, this one
public class Player {
private String player;
public String getPlayer() {
return player;
}
private int strength;
private int defense;
[Code] .....
However, it says that under Player.getPlayer() that it 'Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method'.

I am writing the following program in Java SE 7. It throwing "Cannot make a static reference to the non-static type String" . However if I write parameterised String inside main method as java.lang.String[] args, it compiles fine.
class MainClass<String> {
<T> MainClass(T t) {
System.out.println(t.getClass().getName());
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("asdasd");
new MainClass<>("");
}
}
I mean following programs compile fine in Java SE 7 :
class MainClass<String> {
<T> MainClass(T t) {
System.out.println(t.getClass().getName());
}
public static void main(java.lang.String[] args) {
System.out.println("asdasd");
new MainClass<>("");
}
}

I had a TestColor class which contained methods to change hue, saturation, brightness, red, green, blue of TestColor's instances but also had static methods which take in an additional parameter for an instance of TestColor and returns the affected instance of TestColor. Now instead of having one method for every possible color effect to be applied to an image, how can I have one method that takes in an Image parameter, a static or non-static method reference from TestColor parameter and lastly an intensnity value parameter. This is so that I can make an affectedImage object instance inside the method and a Graphics2D object for drawing to each pixel of the new image, now I have one for loop and one nested for loop for the x and y pixels of width and height of the old image and inside the nested for loop I'd create a TestColor by calling getRGB on the image's pixel. Then I would apply the static or non-static method reference somehow to change the color with the intensnity value and after applying it draw to the new Image with Graphics2D. How to would I parametize a method reference and be able to use it in such way?

I am getting an error trying to access a static method of another class...theyre both in the same package, I've tried importing the class.
I've tried to do A b=new A()
and then
b.evaluate();
Everything that I try I get the following error:

class Test
{
static Test ref;
String[] arguments;
public void func(String[] args)
{
ref.arguments = args;
[code]...
This code run perfectly.But the static method is acessing a non static method which was supposed to be not possible.

Car c = new Car();
c.setInf("toyota", "red");
System.out.println("name: "+ c.brand + " colour: " + c.colour);

Why do I get the result brand null, colour null? I know what null means but what am I missing here?

When we say derived class that means copy of base class plus subclass specific implementations. But when it comes to private members it cannot be accessible in subclass scope. Does it mean byte code generated for subclass doesn't has byte code of private members of super class ?

I have two classes in two different files.
Color.java and Light.java
The Color class:
public class Color {
private int red;
private int green;
private int blue;
public Color(){
red = 0;
green = 0;
blue = 0;
}
And i have the Light class :
public class Light {
private Color color1;
private boolean switchedon;
public Light(int red, int green, int blue){
//dont know what to write here . how can i use the members of the Color class here ? without using extends.
}

From what i understand static methods should be called without creating an instance of the same class . If so why would they return an instance of the same class like in the following : public static Location locateLargest(double[][] a) , the Location class being the same class where the method is defined . I don't understand this , does it mean that every field and every method in the class must be static ? Meaning that you cannot have instances of the class because everything is static . Or it's just a mistake and the class Location cannot have a static method: public static Location locateLargest(double[][] a) ?

I was trying to come up with the design for a library. Here are the requirements:
The library maintains a record of books and its members. It allows members to check out books. Books can be searched by author name or title. The books are classified into 4 categories - General, Sports, Politics, Business.
I've come up with this initial design:
Classes:
Category (enum)BookMemberLibrary
Category
Attributes: SPORTS, GENERAL, POLITICS, BUSINESS
Book
Attributes: String title, String authorName, Category category, boolean checkedOut

I am trying to add a field (called special) to a hibernate table. I am copying existing code (related to the NAME field) so I don't have to figure this out from scratch. I am getting the error
"[ERROR] C:VOXvoxware-1.1.13voxwarevoxware-implsrcmainjavacomvoxwareimplflowVoxFlowConfiguration.java:[213,38] error: non-static variable special cannot be referenced from a static context".
Line 213 is in public void mergeFrom, the actual line is "special = VoxFlowConfiguration.special;" I don't understand why Java thinks special is a "non-static" variable but it doesn't have a problem with the other variables (such as name, orderShow)
package com.voxware.impl.flow;
import com.voxware.asset.LiabilityType;

I'm working on a banking program that is supposed to use 3 classes (Account-base class, CheckingAccount, and SavingsAccount) and several methods to display the banking information (ID, balance after a withdrawal and deposit, and the annual interest rate). This should be a pretty simple program, but I'm getting hung up on one portion of it. I'm getting some compiler errors, all of which deal with non-static variables being called from a static context (I'll also post these errors following the code). Up until the middle of last week, we just declared everything as static, but that's changed and I'm having trouble figuring out when to and when not to use static when declaring my methods, hence the compiler errors.
import java.util.Date;
public class Account {
private int id = 0;
private double balance = 0;
private double annualInterestRate = 0;
private Date dateCreated = new Date();
[Code] ....
Here are the compiler errors I am receiving:
Compilation completed. The following files were not compiled:
6 errors found:
File: C:UsersHiTechRedneckDesktopSummer II 2014Computer Programming PrincipleProgram 5CheckingAccount.java [line: 7]

i am trying to make something, and i want to request input from user and it shoud look like this
1. xxx -> press 1 to choose this
2. xxx -> press 2 to choose this
So if they enter 3 or string or whatever i want to restart method and show again
1. xxx -> press 1 to choose this
2. xxx -> press 2 to choose this
So here is method that i am trying to restart
public static void askUser(){
System.out.println("xxx");
System.out.println("1. xxx");
System.out.println("2. xxx");
System.out.println("3. xxx");
[code]....
If i try to make it public void than it say can't call non-static methods inside static(main).if i try to put it into new class and then call it after i fail input it goes into infinite loop.
