'class' or 'interface' expected

[denisdoherty]

I am having another problem, when i entered in this code

Code:

   private static boolean number(String Number, Interface, theStub){
       try{
           String List = theStub.getnumber();
           StringTokenizer tokens = new StringTokenizer (List);
           while (tokens.hasMoreTokens())
                if (tokens.nextToken().equalsIgnoreCase(Number))
                    return true;
                }catch (Exception e) {System.out.println("Error : " + e); } 
        return false;
    }

It was throwing me back an error class or interface expected but i can not see the problem with the code, does anyone know where i am going wrong.

Is this code in a class block?

eg

Code:

class Class1 
{

private static boolean number(String Number, Interface, theStub){
       try{
           String List = theStub.getnumber();
           StringTokenizer tokens = new StringTokenizer (List);
           while (tokens.hasMoreTokens())
                if (tokens.nextToken().equalsIgnoreCase(Number))
                    return true;
                }catch (Exception e) {System.out.println("Error : " + e); } 
        return false;
    }

}

[denisdoherty]

yes this code is within a class called client

[DonCash]

I take it 'Interface' & 'theStub' classes actually exsist?

[denisdoherty]

yes i have an interface class but on the one that i am working off there is no theStub class in it.

[denisdoherty]

Even when i take out the theStub it says the same thing bout no class or interface expected

[DonCash]

Well thats your problem.. Its definitely theStub class. I know you have removed the word theStub but dont forget to remove the other reference to it:

Code:

String List = theStub.getnumber();

But obviousally without this none of the class will work...

You need to write theStub class for any of this to work.

[denisdoherty]

Yes but how come then the other application that i have works with theStub in and no theStub class do u know?

[denisdoherty]

No that does not work, I am still getting the error class or interface expected on this line private static boolean number(String Number, Interface){

[DonCash]

Remove all of this:

Code:

      try{
           String List = theStub.getnumber();
           StringTokenizer tokens = new StringTokenizer (List);
           while (tokens.hasMoreTokens())
                if (tokens.nextToken().equalsIgnoreCase(Number))
                    return true;
                }catch (Exception e) {System.out.println("Error : " + e); } 
        return false;

and just run:

Code:

private static boolean number(String Number, Interface){

}

What happens?

[denisdoherty]

I am getting the same error as before

[DonCash]

Does your client class have a 'main' method?

I can't really see what the problem is. Can you post all the code for each class here.

[denisdoherty]

Do u want me to post all the code that i have as an attachment and then u will see it all working?

R what do u want me to post?

[DonCash]

I just want all the code you are using so I can look at how it is coded. I cant work out why this is not working from what you have posted. Is there a lot of code? If there isnt that much then post it here. Otherwise zip it up.

[denisdoherty]

I have attached the file that i am working on, let me know if yoou need any other information

[DonCash]

Where is theStub class?

I tried getting all this code to compile but there is all sorts of errors in client.java

[denisdoherty]

i said that i dont have a theStub class, with the application that i have, the first error is the class or interface expected.

I have theStub line commented out so that it is not looking for that class

[DonCash]

Well not having theStub class is the least of your problems by the looks of it.

I know you have removed theStub from

Code:

private static boolean number(String Number, Interface){

But the rest of that code in the block relies on that class.

None of this will work:

Code:

       try{
           String List = theStub.getnumber();
           StringTokenizer tokens = new StringTokenizer (List);
           while (tokens.hasMoreTokens())
                if (tokens.nextToken().equalsIgnoreCase(Number))
                    return true;
                }catch (Exception e) {System.out.println("Error : " + e); } 
        return false;

It is being called here:

Code:

String List = theStub.getnumber();

Which you already commented out but with this removed, there is no 'List' which is needed for

Code:

StringTokenizer tokens = new StringTokenizer (List);

You are going to need theStub for any of that to work.

Even with that entire code block removed there are still errors as a result in the Client class.

[denisdoherty]

the one that i am working off is around the same as the one that i have. That does not have a theStub either so what am i suppossed to do then

[DonCash]

To be honist I have no idea. I removed the number method that has theStub code and there are other errors in the Client class. I commented them out and managed to compile it. This wont work as expected. I can't help you fix it any further.
