7.4 Migration - Build error: cannot find symbol

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are upgrading our portal from 7.0 to 7.4. In this process i am migrating custom Web Dynpro Java DCs to 7.4. While i successfully migrated some of the applications, i am stuck with couple of DCs resulting with build time errors. I see no errors in the design time but when i try to build DC it fails.

Please refer the build log below:

Package com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.context.ContextException in the build log, is already added in the dependency.

Really appreciate any help on this.

Please re import model and repair the dc.

Hi,

This seems issue with context and dependency. Please cross check, if the dependency for exception is valid.

Hi Ravi,

Thanks for responding.

The error occurs in auto generated view files created by the framework. I don't see any context mapping issues. No interface controller context is involved in this DC, it only has direct context mapping and model binding. Build time dependencies are also correctly assigned.

Thanks,

Saurabh
