How To Reference Object Created In One Class From Another
Oct 30, 2014
I have started working on a little project in my free time. It is just a simple text rpg that runs in a counsel window. I have 5 files each file contains 1 class.
public class SomnusCharacter {
private String gender = "";
private int age = 0;
private String race = "";
private int level = 0;
private int xp = 0;
[Code] ....
The chain of events right now is:
1. MainMenu is run
2. If user inputs n CreateCharactor is run
3. User inputs name, age, ect in SomnusCharacter object made in CreateCharacter
4. Intro (just rough demo for testing purposes) is run
5. If user inputs m Menu is run
6. Menu calls and prints out all the information from the object made in CreateCharacter
Step 6 is where I am having my problems. How can I reference (lets say the SomnusCharacter object made is called player) player from my Menu class? I know that if I made a new character that it would just create another SomunsCharacter object with the default values again.

I have a situation where I have 2 classes and an array of objects which are causing me trouble.
The object type is one I have created - it is made from a class which is neither of the 2 classes I previously mentioned.
The array is created and occupied in Class1 and the problem arises when I try to reference one of the element from Class2.
At first I forgot the the array would be local to Class1.main so I made the array a global variable using:
Java Code: public MyObjectType[] myArray; mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
Then I tried accessing an element (2) from Class2 using:
Java Code: Class1.myArray[2] mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
However I get errors saying that I can't access the static variable from a non-static context.
I understand a little bit about static and non-static objects/methods but don't know how to fix this. Do I need to include "static" in the array declaration?

I read somewhere : "Java use clone() method of Object class to copy content of one object to the other. The problem will arrive if the Class that needs to be copied also contains reference to the other object."Not able to understand the second line.

For example I create an object like this:
BankAccount b = new SavingsAccount();
Now lets say that I want to access a method 'addInterest()' that is in the 'SavingsAccount' class I would have to do: '((SavingsAccount)s).addInterest();'
The question I have is why do I have to cast 'b' to SavingsAccount? Isn't the actual object reference of 'b' already an instance of 'SavingsAccount' class? How does the 'BankAccount' affect the object itself? I'm really confused as to what class is truly getting instantiated and how BankAccount and SavingsAccount are both functioning to make the object 'b'.

I don't understand why the object reference variable 'a' cannot be recast from a thisA object reference to a thisB object reference.Is it the case that once a reference variable is linked to a particular object type then it cannot switch object types later on.I am facing the Java Associate Developer exam soon and I am just clearing up some issues in my head around object reference variable assignment,
class thisA {}
class thisB extends thisA { String testString = "test";}
public class CastQuestion2 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
thisA a = new thisA();
thisB b = new thisB();
[code]....

Create an equals method that takes an object reference and returns true if the given object equals this object.
Hint: You'll need 'instanceof' and cast to a (Geocache)
So far I have:
public boolean equals(Object O){
if(O instanceof Geocache){
Geocache j=(Geocache) O;
if (this.equals(j)) //I know this is wrong... but I can't figure it out
return true;
}
else return false;
}
I think I have it correct up to the casting but I don't understand what I'm suppose to do with the this.equals(). Also I'm getting an error that I'm not returning a boolean... I get this all the time in other problems. I don't get why since I have to instances of returning booleans in this. "returns true if the given object equals this object" makes no sense to me. I assume the given object, in my case, is 'O'. What is 'this' object referring to?

How should I access object, which I have created in servlet? Servlet handles the requests(controller) and forwards to requested jsp page.Some of the jsp pages need EJB objects. When i create an ejb object in servlet and then forward the request to jsp, how can i access the object in jsp ? This should be MVC - based application, like JSP-Servlet-EJB.

I have create as short example which contains two classes Cat and Dog followed by a switch statement in the main method.
Class Cat
public class Cat {
private String name;
//Setter
public void setName(String pName)
{name = pName;}
//Getter
public String getName()
{return name;}
// Constructor
public Cat(String catName)
{name = catName;}
[code]....
My Issue is that after creating the objects within the switch statement, is there a way to return the objects back to the main method once created within the switch ?

I am working on an independent project it is a simple little text based rpg that will run in a counsel window. I have an object for Character that is creating during a CreateCharacter method. I want the play to be able to enter a character that will open up a menu that displays things like the name and health and stuff of the character from the object created in CreateCharacter, but because I have it in a different class I don't know how to reference the object made in CreateCharacter.
I have it in 6 files
Character --- Object with getters/setters for things like name, age, race, class, ect
MainMenu --- Displays title and promts for new game and quit
CreateCharacter --- Walks through and sets all values in Character
Stats --- Keeps the players stats (health, attack, ect) in an array
Intro --- Beginning demo thing (not really important for this question)
Menu --- Displays all current user stats (Having issues with this one)
Example I have this in Menu
System.out.println("Name: " + ????.getName());

I am doing a Junit test case, but I keep having issues with AssertEquals ( object expected, object actual). I don't know how to reference the other actual object so that it can compare to the expected.
public void add (Distance d) throws CustomException
{
//I can also convert feet to inches and add all inches together and then divided inches to feet and inches
Distance result = new Distance();
int newFeet = this.feet + d.getFeet();
int newInches = this.inches + d.getInches();
if(newInches > 11)
{
newFeet = newFeet + (newInches/12);
[Code]...

When does HTTP Session object is created in web application. Suppose I have a website. Home page of website is HTTP page which contains details of company and link to Login page.
Consider below mentioned user journey as scenario:
a. user arrives at home page of website
b. user click on Login page
c. user fill in login details on login page and click on Submit
d. user is successfully authenticated and authorized from back end
e. User specific page is shown
f. user click on logout link
g. user is successfully logged out from website
h. user is redirected to home page
i. user closes browser
In the above mentioned user journey,
a. at which step does HTTP session starts (means at which steps does HTTP Session object is created ? )
b. at which step does HTTP session ends ?
In case required, assume tech stack to be Java 7, Servlet 2.5, JSP, Tomcat 7, Apache web server (for static web contents).....

The question pretty much says it all, but I tasked myself with creating a program about lemurs. There are multiple class files in this program. In the below code snippet, I have my TreeLemur.class which extends to the Lemur.class which extends to the Mammal.class. However, when I create a Tree Lemur object in the main program, it is returning null consistently from certain methods. What am I doing wrong here?
TreeLemur.class :
public class TreeLemur extends Lemur {
private String groupSize;
private String diet;
private String fur;
public void setGroupSize() {
groupSize = "
Group Size: Large";
}
[Code]...
As of yet, I'm just trying to get Tree Lemur working properly to continue with creating the other if-branches within the main program.

Check out the following basic code (assume that dog has a method called bark):
Dog d = new Dog();
Object o = d;
o.bark(); // error
But why? Isn't o just a pointer to a memory address which has the dog object? If so, why can't the compiler see that the object has a method called bark? Or, to ask the question another way, why is Java designed to check the object reference to see if the method exists instead of the object itself?

I have the following code:
public class CollisionManager<T> {
private boolean collision = false;
private T mainEntity;
public <T extends Entities> void handleCollision(T mainEntity, T secondEntity){
this.mainEntity = mainEntity; // This is illegal.
}
}
Why "this.mainEntity = mainEntity" is incorrect and also show me the correct way to achieve this?
The error I am getting is "Type mismatch: cannot convert T to T"

I passed my abstract class private final reference to another concrete class and I used abstract class reference as parameter to that concrete class constructor and in my main method and null to that parameter then only that program executes correctly...i placing my code below ..if there is any error tell me where is error occurring then i will check my code...i think my code is right but little bit doubt abstract class concept.
{
}
class concept1 extends concept
{
private final concept parent;
public concept1(concept aparent)
{
parent=aparent;
System.out.println(parent);
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
//concept p=new concept1(null);
concept c=new concept1(null);
}}

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;

Suppose you have a generic Dog class of the pet type that implements a DogInterface of the pet type. What is the difference between;
DogInterface<pet> Rex = new Dog<pet>();
and
Dog<pet> Tye = new Dog<pet>();
In what situations might you want to use Rex instead of Tye?

"You might wonder what happens when a static synchronized method is invoked, since a static method is associated with a class, not an object. In this case, the thread acquires the intrinsic lock for the Class object associated with the class. "What is a Class object associated with a class.

I want to know is there any way we can call parent class method using child class object without using super keyword in class B in the following program like we can do in c++ by using scoop resolution operator
class A{
public void hello(){
System.out.println("hello");
}
}
class B extends A{
public void hello(){
//super.hello();
System.out.println("hello1");

How to create object for "class B" and call the "function_B" from other different class D where class D has no connection with class A? Here is my program.
public class A(){
void print(){}
}
class B{
void function_B(){}
}
class C{
void function_C(){}
}
Here, A, B, C are in the same package. But class D is in different package.
