A common solution to this problem is to write a utility class whose responsibility is to log information. This class can have a flag that will allow you to turn the logging on and off. In addition you should be able to tell the class how much detail you want in the output. Ultimately, this class will give you the ability to control when information is logged, what information is logged, how often information is logged, and even where the information is logged. And you would be able to control all of this without changing a single line of code!
This type of utility class is commonly written using static methods and is referred to as a static class. In order to use the features of a utility class, the application can access the methods directly by referring the class name, eliminating the need to create an instance of the class in order to execute the methods.
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 want to know if I can get the entire log4j.properties file constructed in Java code. I am not talking about configuring the logger using Java code.I have a logger that is already configured using a file. I want to get access to either Logger or LogManager (any other?) class and print the current configuration that is in memory.
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:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: B$A Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: B$A at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:202) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:190) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:306) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:301) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:247)
Code :
public class A{ public static String evaluate(String op) { } } public class B{ String output=A.evaluate(input); }
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".
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
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] Error: non-static method getId() cannot be referenced from a static context
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?
One class having two method one as static n another as non-static, 2 threads are there t1 is accessing the static method and t2 the non-static method is it possible n both are sharing the same object.
I now we have two kinds of lock one is object level lock and another is class level lock
I am trying to compile the following code where the entry point is Main.java but i am getting the following error "Error non-static method add(int[]) cannot be referenced from a static context in Java " ....
If i add the keyword static in add method of A.java it works properly......
Class Main.java code package com.company; public class Main { public int [] a= new int[]{1,2,3}; public static void main(String[] args) { Main n= new Main();
This is a someway special question, because I am using jmonkeyEngine.
But the topic is simple:
I have 2 classes:
public class Spielbrett extends SimpleApplication { public static void main(String[] args) { Spielbrett app = new Spielbrett(); app.start(); } @Override public void simpleInitApp() {
[Code]...
as the main class and a second class for the chips:
public class Spielstein { public Spatial stone; public int player; public int team; private AssetManager assetManager = Spielstein.getAM(); //THIS IS THE PROBLEM public Spielstein(int t_player, int t_team){
[Code]...
My problem is: I can't access getAM() from the first in the second class. If you know why I would be glad for an answer.
I’m trying to understand how to decide when to make a nested class static or non-static. These are my assumptions.
1) Make a nested class static if each instance of its enclosing class may have one or more instances of its nested class, for example, a HashMap has a static HashMap.Entry nested class because each HashMap instance may have one or more HashMap.Entry instances
2) Make a nested class non-static if each instance of its enclosing class must have only one instance of its nested class, for example, an AbstractButton has a non-static AbstractButton.Handler nested class because each AbstractButton instance must have only one AbstractButton.Handler instance.
I wrote a code to use static class. But, when I call the class in a outer class but, it gives an error. Is it mandatory to have a static class should have static variables when we declaring them??
public class StaticClassMain { static class Sub{ String str="Example 1"; } public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println(Sub.str); } }
class test { static int i=j; static int j=10; .....
this will give illegal forward reference ....
but this will compile successfully ..
class test { static int i=test1(); static test1() { return 20; } } .....
plz assume we have main method in both cases ..
java would be loading all static members first and would be assigning default values .. and then will be running all the initializers from to bottom ..Why second case is a compile success and not first .. as in second also test1 method is declared after its usage ..
I am working on a project involving a class that has the attributes of one of its inner classes. Now, if possible, I would like to make it so that the inner class is not visible outside of the class. Also, some of the functional mechanics require that the class be an instance of the nested inner class (it extends the inner class). The following code snippet demonstrates the situation.
public class A extends A.B { public static class B { //ideally I would like this to be private/protected. } }
When I try to compile this program, I get the error message "Cyclical inheritance involving A." This error does not make much sense because, since the inner class "B" is static, it requires no instance of "A" (it does not inherit from "A" or uses it). My question is "Is it possible to do something similar to this structure?" I have searched many forums in search of the answer but have not found anything that attempts to explain it. The closest problem that I have found is one relating to the inheritance of a nested inner class from another class. I would like to express that the problem that I am having involves a class defined within the inheriting class.
I have an Abstract Class called GameColorEffect which contains a number of non-static Inner Classes that extend their Parent Class, GameColorEffect. I want to be able to create instances of the Inner Classes, however my IDE, eclipse, prompts me with the error:
No enclosing instance of type GameColorEffect is accessible. Must qualify the allocation with an enclosing instance of type GameColorEffect
And eclipse shows me a possible solution which is to turn the Inner Classes to static, this would allow me to create instances, but not really. This is because using methods from the static Inner Classes that change values in the Inner Classes will do this for every instance of the same Inner Class which is literally like a single instance. However, I want these Inner Classes to be individual with their values and still be able to use them outside as instances. I've found out a possible solution, which I'm not sure works like I want it to:
Java Code : GameColorEffect = new GameColorEffect.ExampleEffect(); mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
However, this is in-compact because sometimes all I need is to use just a method like:
Java Code : new GameColorEffect.ExampleEffect(intensity).applyEffect() mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
And another solution that I already knew prior was that I could make the Inner Classes proper classes not inside of the GameColorEffect class, but this is also in-compact because I will have to have so many classes for the so many effects that I have.
I have the following code that comes directly from the book Core Java vol 1. The last two statements are mine but when I change the last statement's String the message being logged doesn't change. For that manner when I change the level of the last statement the file doesn't update to the correct log level. What am I doing wrong?
Java Code:
public class LogTester { public static void main(String[] args) { if (System.getProperty("java.util.logging.config.class") == null && System.getProperty("java.util.config.file") == null)
[code]....
Forgot to say the file also only logs the old message and level from a previous recompilation
I'm writing a program that calculates phone charges. I have my class is set up, but when I try to retrieve data from it in my main, eclipse says that I need to set my method to static, which messes up the rest of the program.
Class:
public class MobileCharges { private double charges; private int minutes; private String plan;
