Unresolved Method?

[Jenn Person]

Hi,

I have the following class acting as a simple bean to store the details of written articles as shown below.

package acs.beans;
 
public class WriteUpBean
{
private int ID;
private String title;
private String content;
private String updated;
private String author;
 
 
public void setID(int ID) { this.ID = ID; }
 
public void setTitle(String title) { this.title = title; }
 
public void setContent(String content) { this.content = content; }
 
public void setUpdated(String updated) { this.updated = updated; }
 
public void setAuthor(String author) { this.author = author; }
 
 
public int getID() { return this.ID; }
 
public String getTitle() { return this.title; }
 
public String getContent() { return this.content; }
 
public String getUpdated() { return this.updated; }
 
public String getAuthor() { return this.author; }
}  

I have a model that uses this bean as follows:

package acs.models;
 
import java.sql.*;
import java.util.*;
import acs.beans.*;
 
public class WriteUpModel
{
public ArrayList getAllWriteUps(Connection connection) throws SQLException
{
Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
String query = "SELECT * FROM WriteUps ORDER BY WriteUps.title";
 
ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery(query);
ArrayList writeups = new ArrayList();
 
while(resultSet.next())
{
WriteUpBean writeup = new WriteUpBean();
writeup.setID(resultSet.getInt("ID"));
writeup.setTitle(resultSet.getString("title"));
writeup.setContent(resultSet.getString("content"));
writeup.setUpdated(resultSet.getString("updated"));
writeup.setAuthor(resultSet.getString("author"));
writeups.add(writeup);
}
 
return writeups;
}
}

My problem is that I cannot compile this model, I get the following error:

C:\Tomcat\webapps\acs_admin\WEB-INF\classes\acs\models\WriteUpModel.java:23: cannot resolve symbol
symbol  : method setUpdated (java.lang.String)
location: class acs.beans.WriteUpBean
                        writeup.setUpdated(resultSet.getString("updated"));  

I don't know what is wrong with the setUpdated method. The other methods work, so I can only think that setUpdated is a reserved method name and cannot be used?

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe an old version of WriteUpBean.class is in your classpath.
By the way, it's not recommended to put source files insides the "classes" directory.

Hi Satou,

I thought about what you said and deleted my WriteUpBean.class file. I then recompiled it and tried to then compile my WriteUpModel but I still get the same error.

I've even renamed the method in my WriteUpBean to something completely different, like getJenn() but it just brings the same error with the getJenn() method unresolved.

I'm at a complete loss here. Any ideas?

Also make sure there's not another WriteUpBean class wandering somewhere in your class path.

Hi Satou,

You're right, it was referring to another WriteUpBean.class file I had in another webapp!

Thank you so much for you help!
