"cannot find symbol" error when call a method in other class

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am facing a wired error. The Java application was created using JDK1.4.2 on portal 7.0. Portal 7.0 is used as web application server, no portal authorization was used.

Then portal was upgraded to 7.4. So this application was rebuilt using JDK 1.6.0 with no code change.

Now I am going to do a little enhancement on this application, but got compile error in JSP when ran on portal 7.4.

in JSP, before body tag,

getApplicationAreas() method was the one newly added. getSearchResults() method ran fine. the default trace shows error as below:

There is no difference between method getApplicationAreas() and getSearchResults(). Why calling getApplicationAreas() in jsp gives compilation error, but calling getSearchResults() gives no error. How to get rid of this compilation error? Does it related to portal and jdk upgrade?

Thanks.

When your code is compiled, the compiler needs to work out what each and every identifier in your code means. As the compiler is going through the code it will find something and know what to do with it or not. Your Cannot find symbol error relates to the identifiers and means that Java cannot figure out what the "symbol" means.

The general causes for a Cannot find symbol error are things like:

• Incorrect spelling.
• Wrong case. Halo is different from halo.
• Improper use of acceptable identifier values (letters, numbers, underscore, dollar sign), my-class is not the same as myclass.
• No variable declaration or variable is outside of the scope you are referencing it in.

Hi Natalie,

Could you please call this method in another class instead of JSP to make sure that this problem is due something jsp or code is having something strange.

This will give some clue.

Thanks,

Hamendra
