getServletName() method error

[Linda Pan]

This is probably something simple, but I haven't been able to figure it out.
I am getting an error with the getServletName method. I am using the jsdk.jar version 2 with j2sdk1.4.1_01 compiler. My error is "cannot resolve symbol". Help.....

import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
 
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
 
import com.lotus.sametime.community.*;
import com.lotus.sametime.core.comparch.*;
import com.lotus.sametime.core.constants.*;
import com.lotus.sametime.im.*;
 
abstract class SametimeBot extends HttpServlet implements LoginListener,
                                      ImServiceListener, ImListener
{
    abstract protected String getWELCOME_TEXT();
    abstract protected String getSERVER();
    abstract protected String getAPP_NAME();
    abstract protected String getAPP_PASSWORD();
 
    private STSession m_session;
    private CommunityService m_communityService;
    private InstantMessagingService m_imService;
 
    protected Vector m_imOpened = new Vector();
 
    public void init() throws ServletException
    {
           [B]System.out.println(this.getServletName() + ": init()");[/B]
           try
           {
               login();
           }
           catch (Exception e)
           {
              e.printStackTrace();
           }
    }
 
.... there is addt'l code but i think the problem lies up on top

What is "this"? I see no class here.

[Linda Pan]

I also have another class that extends this one. It is rather lengthy but th abstract SametimeBot class should run but it doesn't recognize the method?

I'm thinking the version of jsdk.jar has something to do with the compile errors ... hmmmm....

post the stack trace of that exception you are facing?

[Praful Thakare]

Hi,
Try this
System.out.println(getServletConfig().getServletName() + ": init()");

[Linda Pan]

Using the method getServletConfig() didn't work. Good try though.
The stack trace, I assume is the error in the CMD box? I'm still getting the "cannot resolve symbol" compile error.

C:\bots>javac SametimeBot.java
SametimeBot.java:29: cannot resolve symbol
symbol  : method getServletName ()
location: interface javax.servlet.ServletConfig
          System.out.println([B]getServletConfig()[/B].getServletName() + ": init()");
                                             ^
SametimeBot.java:44: cannot resolve symbol
symbol  : method getServletName ()
location: class SametimeBot
            m_session = new STSession(this.getServletName());

Hi,

this.getServletName() is working. The reference this refers to the current servlet.

It is not neccessary that we need to have a class to refer it with this. In this case, this refers to the current HttpServlet.

I tried the same thing using j2sdk1.4.1_01. & is working perfect.
