http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17166 HttpClient does not compile 'out of the box' in IBM's VisualAge IDE Summary: HttpClient does not compile 'out of the box' in IBM's VisualAge IDE Product: Commons Version: 2.0 Alpha 2 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: HttpClient AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This was observed with IBM VisualAge 3.5, which runs JDK1.2.2: Importing the HTTPClient source code into the IDE brings up a compilation error in org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodBase. The initialization of "private ResponseConsumedWatcher m_responseWatcher" using an anyonymous inner class seems to cause some trouble. Implicated code: private ResponseConsumedWatcher m_responseWatcher = new ResponseConsumedWatcher () { public void responseConsumed() { responseBodyConsumed(); } }; The error message is: "Field initialization: The constructor invoked to create org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodBase$1 with arguments () is not defined" ...but only in the context of HttpMethodBase(String uri) constructor, i.e. the HttpMethodBase() constructor *can* be compiled, HttpMethodBase(String uri) *cannot* be compiled with error "Cannot create constructor due to incorrect field initialization". I interpret this to mean that the compiler is looking for a parameterless constructor for the anonymous class in the context of HttpMethodBase(String uri). The message did not really make sense to me. Checked the syntax, checked in the Language Definition whether setting up an anonymous class like that is permitted; found nothing obviously wrong. Fix: The code above is equivalent to constructing the instance at the beginning of each constructor of the enclosing class. A copy and paste of the construction code into each of the two constructors fixes things...until the next update. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
