[jdom-interest] jdom2 migration issue

[Craig Christophersen]

Took two cleans to get it all clean.

Changed back:

final org.jdom2.Document mydoc = builder.build(dmFile);
    document = mydoc;

to:

document = builder.build(dmFile);

in that one class.

All now compiles.

Thank you much for your help……I guess this was more of an eclipse and developer not cleaning his project enough issue.

 

I look forward to running this application now, and learning more about the enhancements in jdom2.

Thank you again, Craig

In eclipse do a 'clean' on your project...

 

Perhaps there are some 'vestiges' of a previous eclipse build.

This is very peculiar.  That line now compiles.
But further down in the class is another method using  "document" that will not(with the same type mismatch error).
The line " Element root = document.getRootElement();” errors.
Method:
  public String getWPNum() throws JDOMException { 
        String wpNum = "";
            Element root = document.getRootElement();
            Element idstatus = (Element)root.getChild("idstatus");
            Element status = (Element)idstatus.getChild("status");
            Element remarks = (Element)status.getChild("remarks");
            wpNum = remarks.getText();
            if(wpNum.equals("")) {
               wpNum = "0"; 
            }
            System.out.println("WPNum in Read DM: " + wpNum);
                    
        return wpNum;
    }

Right, then the next thing to do is to worry about the protected variable 'document'.

In your code you have protected org.jdom2.Document document;

I had assumed that this was the same variable as the one in the line:

    document = builder.build(dmFile);

But, now I am not so sure.... perhaps in this case the document in the build line is some other document variable with the same name from a super class or something.

So, what happens if you replace the build line:

    document = builder.build(dmFile);

with:

    final org.jdom2.Document mydoc = builder.build(dmFile);
    document = mydoc;
