Problems with local variable scope. How to solve it?

Question

I\'m getting the following error when trying to execute statemet.executeUpdate() in my code:

Local variable statement defined in an enclosing sc         


        

Answer 1

not Error:

JSONObject json1 = getJsonX();

Error:

JSONObject json2 = null;
if(x == y)
   json2 = getJSONX();

Error: Local variable statement defined in an enclosing scope must be final or effectively final.

But you can write:

JSONObject json2 = (x == y) ? json2 = getJSONX() : null;
