Rest r; ^ 1 error I could not find a simpler failure case. Rest can normally be accessed from within Test, as expected. It seems to be only within a block in the anonymous class that there is a problem. For example, a member variable in the anonymous class of type Rest is ok. >Fix: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
