Passing Information To A Method Or Constructor

Passing Information to a Method or a Constructor

They show a line of code that goes like this:

public Polygon polygonFrom(Point[] corners) {
// method body goes here
}

So from what I understand this is a constructor method for a Polygon object from the Polygon class. What I dont get is the name of the method polygonFrom()

Shouldn't a constructor for a Polygon just have the same name as the class? Because from earlier examples in the tutorial it seems to me that this is what has been done

For example:

public Bicycle(int startCadence, int startSpeed, int startGear) {
gear = startGear;
cadence = startCadence;
speed = startSpeed;
}

How To Get Information Back From A Different Method

Nov 12, 2014

I am trying to figure out how to get information back from a different method.

Basically I want to write a program to create a car, but I want to be able to add features based on user our put (V6 versus V8, Color choice, etc), but I want each one to be broken out into their own method but I am unsure of how to call from the main method and return the variable (engineSize = V8, color = blue, etc).

Passing A Boolean Parameter From One Method To Other

Jan 30, 2015

Java SE Runtime Environment build 1.8.0..This is part of the code:

public static int addAddress (String[] number, boolean[] front, double[] total) {
int num = 0;
double ffee = 0;
/*boolean value = false;*/
 
[code]...

I have tried using the line of code commented out, /*boolean value = false;*/. However, another error is displayed. The compiler shows the following...

Inspection.java:33: error: incompatible types: boolean cannot be converted to boolean[]
front[num]= defineFront(num, value);
^
Note: Some messages have been simplified; recompile with -Xdiags:verbose to get full output error...I know that boolean values are by default stored as false, once you create the array. However, I'm having trouble passing the variable to the method.

Passing Object Created In One Method To Another?

Oct 29, 2014

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());

Passing Java Bean Name In A Method

Jun 13, 2014

Here I am taking response data from JSON using jackson API.I found a feature like using Jackson the properties can be set to bean properties.
 
private static String readUrl(String urlString) throws Exception {       
BufferedReader reader = null;       
try {           
URL url = new URL(urlString);           
reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream()));     

[Code] ....

I got the correct output here. But now I want to generalize my method into a utility class so that I can reuse the same method for setting response data directly to respective beans as given below:-
 
My question is how will I pass the bean object in my utility class?

public static Object getResponseData(String response,[b]String bean[/b]) throws Exception {       
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper(); 
mapper.configure(DeserializationConfig.Feature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES, false);       
JsonNode root = mapper.readTree(response);

[Code] ....

How To Get A Variable From Constructor Into Another Method

Nov 11, 2014

I am having an issue with a small part of my project. i am supposed to make a hash table with a file containing words. The file is being passed into my constructor, where i basically just all it "filename" of type string. Im supposed to get the contents of the file and put it into the table. the problem I'm having is making the connection between my constructor and a method called "start" which basically does all the work. Im not sure how to go by doing this, how could i use the variable "filename" from my constructer in my start method?:

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class WordCount {
//private fields, including your HashMap variable
HashMap<String,Object> hmap =new HashMap<String,Object>();//(table size,load factor)
public WordCount( String infileName){
String filename =infileName;

Passing Unknown Type To A Method And Returning It

Feb 20, 2014

So I want to know how in Java you can pass a unkown type into a method (type can be an int, double, or a user defined object) and return that unkown type.

example of what I want:
Java Code:
public (unknowntype)[] method2 ((unknowntype)[])
//Process Data
//unknowntype.process();
return (unknowntype);
} mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

I know in C you can use void pointers and in c++ we have templates but I do not know how java handles this. Also I want to know if it is possible to call a method in the unknowntype.

Servlets :: How To Change URL To JSP Name After Passing To DoPost Method

Aug 12, 2014

I have a log in page accessed by: localhost/Security/Login.jsp

When I click a log in button, doPost() method is executed from Login.java and displays the contents from main.jsp.

However,its url on my browser is localhost/Security/Login.

Generally, the pattern is the address of Login servlet.

So if I click a button from main.jsp, error occurs because it is trying to locate a servlet from /Security/[Servlet name].

What I want is to change the url as I go to main.jsp to localhost/Home/main.jsp.

Is this possible?

Initializing Constructor As Parameter For A Method?

So, I am learning Swing, and Swing Layouts. I just came across a really confusing (for me) line of code.

Java Code:

setLayout(new BorderLayout()); mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

So, this is weird for me because I don't really understand why the BorderLayout class constructor is being initialized as a parameter for the setLayout..

This is cons of testSon class

Passing Object From JSP Page Through JSTL Into Controller Method

May 12, 2015

I need to pass advanced object into controller from JSP page, but I always get null result.It's a controller method:

Java Code:

@RequestMapping(value="admin-user-edit", method=RequestMethod.POST)
public ModelAndView editUser(@ModelAttribute(value="user") UsersEntity user)
{
if (null == user)System.out.println("User is null");
else
System.out.println("User name = " + user.getName() + " | Users id = " + user.getId());
ModelAndView view = new ModelAndView();
return view;
} mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

And this is a JSP page snippet. I need to choose some user from user list and pass it to controller.

XML Code:

<c:forEach var="user" items="${user_list}">
<tr>
<td><c:out value="${user.id}" /></td>
<td><c:out value="${user.name}" /></td>
<td><c:out value="${user.login}" /></td>
<td><c:out value="${user.status}" /></td>

[code]...

I tried to pass it through HttpServletRequest argument but all the same.

Passing Values Into Constructors Using Main Or Static Method Functionality

Jan 24, 2014

I just kinda get stuck when it comes to passing values into constructors, using main method or static method functionality. In theory i kind of understand how it work but when i type it, it's totally different! I have to have a junit test too but i guess i could do that in the end.

I have attached the assignment. So, how to proceed with this:
 
public class Flight {
int flight_number, capacity, number_of_seats_left;
String origin, destination;
String departure_time;
double original_price;

Boolean Method - Adding Information To Mailing List Based On User Input

May 5, 2014

This program contains a superclass and a subclass that will gather the following information from the user:

name, address, phone number, and customer number.

Everything works fine except that I have to create a boolean method in this program that is required to determine based on user input whether they want to be added to a mailing list.

I cannot get this method to work with main, each time it is called it will always return the value but main will constantly read the last statement (else, where it will read "not wanting to be added to the mailing list).

The only way I can get this part of the program to work is by adding an equals method in main that ignores the case, but I am required to write a boolean method so this is not allowed.

Superclass:

public class Person
{
private String name;
private String address;
private String phoneNum;
public Person(String pName, String add, String number)
{
name = pName;
address = add;

[Code] ...

Selection Of Invocation Of Overridden Method During Constructor Chaining

May 28, 2014

I don't understand, why when in the constructor of the superclass A the method init() is called (line 4), the overridden version of the subclass is invoked (line 26) and not the superclass version (line 7):

class A {
public A () {
init();
}
public void init() {
System.out.println("test");

[Code] ....

I would have guessed that above code prints

test
1

But instead you get a NPE (because when the constructor of B is invoked

public static void main(String[] args) {
new B();
}

Then there is first the implicit call to super:

public B() {
s = " ";
init();
}

Which is the constructor of A:

public A () {
init();
}

But here now this init() method is not the version of A ( public void init() {
System.out.println("test");
}) but the overriden version of the subclass (B): public void init() {
System.out.println(s+=s.length());
}...

Which throws an NPE of course, because the initialization of s has not occured yet (it happens only after the implicit call to super() has finished (see public B() {
s = " ";
init();
}))

Servlets :: Call Constructor / Method Upon Redirecting To Another Page?

Aug 13, 2014

I have login.jsp and home.jsp.

Each have its own servlets.

When I click Login button from login.jsp, it will navigate to home.jsp.

But before displaying home.jsp from he user, I want to call homeServlet.java's constructor/method.

This is because I want to populate a dropdown from home.jsp from a database.

I'm using MVC2 Servlet/JSP/Bean framework and AMAP, I do not want to execute javascripts/jquery for populating dropdowns.

Passing Object Argument To A Method - Unable To Call Methods On Argument

Feb 7, 2015

I am trying to pass an object of type Product p to my editProduct method, however trying to call p.getName(); doesn't work and throws a NullPointerException. The same kind of thing works for my displayRecord method (in a different class) and I can call .getName() on Product p, also passed as an argument to that method. Below is my editProduct class. The NullPointerExcepion is being thrown at line 61 (i.e., nameField.setText(p.getName());).

I don't know if I explained right, so here's a line thing of how the classes relate:

Search >>>(field.getText())>>> displayRecord(Product p) >>>editProduct(p)>>> EditProduct

And as a side note: adding the line p = new Product(); fixes it and successfully runs the class (including the Save and Quit parts) but obviously I want it to specifically refer to the Product I pass to the method.

Java Code:

import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.FocusEvent;
import java.awt.event.FocusListener;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import javax.swing.BorderFactory;

[Code] ....

I'm asking a question because I don't understand how Product p could possibly be null, because the argument is passed through my DisplayRecord class, which also takes a Product p argument and works. In that class, I have declared Product prod = p; and prod is what I am passing to editProduct.
