Iterator next import class?

Hi.

I am creating a java applet, but I dont think I am importing the correct classes:

Code:

---

import java.applet.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.*;
import java.util.ListIterator;
import java.util.List;


                  Map<String, List<String>> headers = connection.getHeaderFields();
                    List<String> values = headers.get("Set-Cookie");

                    String cookieValue = null;
                    for (Iterator iter = values.iterator(); iter.hasNext(); ) {
                        String v = values.next();
                        if (cookieValue == null)
                            cookieValue = v;
                        else
                            cookieValue = cookieValue + ";" + v;
                    }

---

error:

httpc.java:180: cannot find symbol
symbol : method next()
location: interface java.util.List<java.lang.String>
String v = values.next();



Which class am I missing? thanks.

values is a List<String> and lists don't have a next(). (Thst's the significance of the "symbol" and "location" parts of the error message.)

Iterators have a next(), so call next on the iterator instance.

Fixed the error with:

Code:

---

                    String cookieValue = null;
                    for (Iterator iter = values.iterator(); iter.hasNext(); ) {
                        String v = iter.next().toString();
                        if (cookieValue == null)
                            cookieValue = v;
                        else
                            cookieValue = cookieValue + ";" + v;
                    }

---

I assumed the code would work because it was directly taken from Cookie Support.

Yes I did cross post - I want sure which of the two forums were responsive.

Thanks for the help, much appreciated

Do this a lot without letting us know that you're doing it, and you'll make sure that no forum will respond to you. No one wants to spend time helping someone only to find out that the solution was posted hours before elsewhere. The proper thing is that if you do this, please be upfront about it and post links. Thanks for your cooperation.

I'm glad you fixed the error. (and I agree with Fubarable about the need to be upfront - so that everyone can follow all of the discussion). Did you understand what I said about interpreting the "symbol not found" message? You've fixed the error, but that message is one you may well see again!

Yeh I understand the concepts I think...

so a List<String> is similar to an array.

Code:

---

Iterator iter = values.iterator();

---

creates an Iterator object needed to iterate the list.

the values.next(); method does not exist for List<String>, it will only work if you create an Iterator object from a List<String>.


Is that correct?

Yes. Although I was also thinking along the lines of "cannot find symbol" meaning "that method doesn't exist!". Common reasons are typos, and - as in this case - calling the right method, but on the wrong instance.
