I have a class which connects with database and fills object with data. Method looks like this:
//in database class
void getData(anObject a, int id){
//connects with database
a.field1=get...
a.field2=get...
....
//disconnects
}
Now I want to use this method in anObject class, but I can't call it because I don't have created object jet. Is there any way to call this method?
I've been unable to figure out how to access an objects data from another class. I ended up missing a lesson in java and haven't been able to catch up on this topic on my own through my textbook.

System.out.println(mcdonalds.toString());

I am currently working on a project where I need to return data from a database over RMI to a client who requests it. Some of the fields in the Data Object can not be seen by the client so I need to create another object to send over the network instead. The method I use is this...
public static SerializableObject createSerializableObjectFromDataObject(DataObject dataObject){
SerializableObject serializableObject = new SerializableObject();
serializableObject.setField(dataObject.getField());
serializableObject.setAnotherField(dataObject.getAnotherField());
return serializableObject;
}
Is there a better way of doing this? I am creating many subclasses DataObject which all require this static method to be implemented and I can't push it into the superclass because each one needs custom behaviour.
How do you declare methods for a class within the class whilst objects of the class are declared else where?
Say for instance, I have a main class Wall, and another class called Clock, and because they are both GUI based, I want to put a Clock on the Wall, so I have declared an instance object of Clock in the Wall class (Wall extends JFrame, and Clock extends JPanel).
I now want to have methods such as setClock, resetClock in the Clock class, but im having trouble in being able to refer to the Clock object thats been declared in the Wall class.
Is this possible? Or am I trying to do something thats not possible? Or maybe I've missed something really obvious?
I want to keep count of how many students are in my array. the array i made up of objects from other classes. like the class Student how do i do this. i have tried contains but better way it to to a loop to go through the array and determine if each object is a particular type but i don't know how to do this. here is the code
import java.util.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class Driver {
public static void main(String[] args){
/* Comments required
PersonFileReader pfr = new PersonFileReader("person.dat");
ArrayList<Person> testData = pfr.readData();

How do we cache objects in EJB 2.
My requirement is i need to get data from the database for the first time and retain in cache it throughout the application life.
My problem is that in my program, I have the user input data for one of three product objects, however when I read the data for all three objects, the same data is stored in all of them.
Anyway this is the method from the Interface class:
private void readInput() // the only method in the program that accepts product data from the user {
Store matesStore = new Store();
String name;
int demandRate, productChoice;
double setupCost, unitCost, inventoryCost, sellingPrice;
Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
[Code] ....
And here is the method from the Store class:
public static void addData(int option, String newName, int newDemand, double newSetup, double newUnit, double newInventory, double newPrice)
//sets the product data for a particular product {
if (option==1) setData(product1, newName, newDemand, newSetup, newUnit, newInventory, newPrice);
else if (option==2) setData(product2, newName, newDemand, newSetup, newUnit, newInventory, newPrice);
else /*(option==3)*/ setData(product3, newName, newDemand, newSetup, newUnit, newInventory, newPrice);
[Code] ....
The problem I had was with static variables and methods.
I have seen many ways of describing what objects are, one being that objects are a user-defined datatype. However, if objects are datatypes, then what does that make classes? To me, it seems as though classes should be the "types" of data defined by the programmer, and objects should be the specific "values" of that user defined data type. As an example, an integer would be a class, while 1 would be a "value" of that class, i.e. an object. From this point of view, I don't see why a specific number would be a data type... Therefore, why do we say that objects are user defined data types rather than classes?

So I'm still trying to get to grips with Java, and like to understand exactly why I'm doing something, so that I am not just regurgitating the code, If I want to create an object from class "Apples", I would use the following, right?
Apples MyAppleObject = new Apples();
From what I understand, MyAppleObject is the new object name, new -> creates a new instance of it in memory, and Apples() is the onCreate method that is called
So question 1: (just a quick aside question) Can I create an object without calling Apples()? i.e.
Apples MyAppleObject = new;
Question 2: - PARTLY SOLVED - I discovered that (Button) is a way of typecasting, so I understand that line a little better. What I don't understand is why we don't need to initialize the object with "new"
I've now looked at a bit of android development and xml and those declarations are all together different, and I'm not sure why. I haven't found a single explanation for the difference in format.
Java Code:
Button Add;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Add = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1); mh_sh_highlight_all('java'); So the Button object is declared above the onCreate method, but initialized afterwards I guess....
But instead of using Button Add = new Button() they use Add = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
Question 3:
then In XML they use the following:
Java Code:
public*static*void*main(String[] args){
*********
********// Creates a DOM object in memory. Now you can access
********// data in the xml file
*********
********Document xmlDoc = getDocument("./src/tvshows5.xml"); mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
Once again, why didn't they have to use : Document xmlDoc = new Document()
Having trouble adding Class (Dollar) objects to a HashSet (money), i have done this before with arraylists and i understand that HashSets are different in that they cannot contain duplicates. Currently when this code is compiled i am getting "null" printed when I run the "howFullDatWallet" method.

Ok say you have
public class MyClass {
private int x = 5;
Object myObject = new Object();
public MyClass(){
}
}
When would the myObject be created? Before or after the constructor? And does this mean you can't pass
this into the parameters of that object?

Where should I keep a collection of instances of my custom class? In the class itself in a static variable?
class Item {
int quantity;
static ArrayList<Item> list = new ArrayList<Item>();
Item(int q) {
quantity = q;
list.add(this);
}
// Some methods and whatnot.
}
Is it fine like this or should I implement the collection elsewhere? What say you?

So I'm beginning to learn java with the book HeadFirst Java. The books says that all a tester class does is create objects of a new type and then use the dot operator...
I don't really understand what a tester class is and what it does ? and what is the Dot operator and how does it work ?
So as long as the classes are "public" and if there are two public classes, I can use objects from one class to another class?

I have a school assignment that involves me sorting an array of objects based on one of the class String variables. I am using as the title says a simple selection sort method. The problem I'm having is that when I run the program in debug mode, it never seems to enter the if statement in the inner loop. I would like to say I've tried a number of things to figure it out, but honestly I'm just stumped as to why it's not working.
Here is the code:
public static void sortTransactions(Transaction[] oTransaction){// This is the sorting method, obviously it's not done so it currently just prints to screen.
System.out.println("Successful call to sortTransaction()");
String min = "";
int curInd = 0;
Transaction[] temp = new Transaction[1];
[Code] ....
The output when I check to see if the array is sorted verifies that the array never does get sorted.

As web server has multiple threads to serve client requests in Thread Pool & to ensure Thread Safety we should not use any variables or Objects at Instance/Class level.But in case of Session Variable which one is the Best Practice as the Session object is used by all the requests to have the same Session ID.

I need to store the data of a bunch of objects of a particular class in files in a predefined directory. Later, I want to get all the files from the directory and turn them into the objects again. Ideally, I'd like to have one file per object and have the files be human-readable and editable without too much difficulty. The class used by the objects will likely be subject to change in the future, as well. To keep things simple, all the data members are either primitives, Strings, or arrays of them. What is the best library/API to use to deal with this situation? Or should I write my own classes for these operations?
I read into serialization, but I read that it doesn't deal well with classes that are frequently modified. I also found articles on Preferences, but none of the ones I saw seem to explain how to best handle reading and writing to and from multiple objects, especially when I don't know a prior all the objects that were written to disk.

I have been asked to write a program with 3 classes(an interface, a store and a product class) and I have been going ok until I need to display data on the interface that is held in the product class. At the moment the code will compile fine but when I run the program and try to use the writeOutput() method I get a stack overflow error.
I realise now that it is because of a non-terminating recursive call, however I can not think of a solution on how to fix the problem. And just to clarify, what I am aiming to do is have the MatesTerminal class display the data for name that is stored in the Product class(I have no way of determining which product to display at this time, so I would like to be able to display the data for all three products if possible). Anyway this is what I have so far:
The method from the MatesTerminal Class:
private void writeOutput() {
int productChoice;
Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
