expected. java

Question

I have this snippet of java code. I am a noob in java..

Error :

 expected
cfg = new Config;

Code:

Answer 1

Yes, this is the problem:

public class ClosureBuilder {
    cfg = new Config();
    ...
}

At the top level of a class, you can only have:

• Instance initializer blocks ({ ... })
• Static initializer blocks (static { ... })
• Variable declarations
• Constructor declarations
• Method declarations
• Nested type declarations
• Finalizer declarations

This is none of these. If you meant to declare a variable, you should have done so:

private Config cfg = new Config();

If that's not what you intended to do, you should explain your intention.

EDIT: Once you've fixed that, this compiler error seems pretty clear:

class Config is public, should be declared in a file named Config.java

There are two potential fixes for this:

• Make Config non-public
• Move it to a file called Config.java

Either should fix that error (potentially revealing more).

Answer 2

Though your intention is not very clear, i assume you want to have the cfg created before any other variable. First declare your class Config as non-public or move to file Config.java. It makes sense to initialize cfg in a static block. Below is a possible code snippet:

private static Config cfg = null;

private static String JDBC = null;

static {

  cfg = new Config();

  JDBC = cfg.getProperty("JDBC"); 

}

Answer 3

Where are you declaring your cfg variable?

I only see the assignment. I think that may be the reason.

Config cfg = new Config();

Shoud fix it.
