Hi All,

When the below ActionClass is compiled, the error that occurs is

cannot resolve symbol


public final class LookupAction extends Action {
protected Double getQuote(String symbol) {......... }

public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException,ServletException{

LookupForm lookupForm = (LookupForm) form; //Error occurs here as Cannot Resolve Symbol

lookupForm.getxxx();
}

LookupForm is the JavaBean class which has getter and setter methods.When i tried to access that class in LookupAction,it couldnt identify the LookupForm.

I also tried to import the class(LookupForm) along with the package name in LookupAction class.Then too it produces the same error.

Pls.help me out to compile this java file.

Thanks a lot in advance,
Vidhya S

Have you verified that the LookupForm class exists in the appropricate subdirectory within the /WEB-INF/classes directory? Is /WEB-INF/classes in your compile-time classpath?

Hi Merrill,

I created a new directory called app inside WEB-INF/classes and placed 2 java files(LookupForm&LookupAction).

During the compilation,I have set the path till the subdirectory as WEB-INF/classes/app.
Then too I get the same error...

Thanks,
Vidhya

Have you put
import <your_package>.LookupForm;

sentence in your action class?

Hi Jasna,

I also tried in this way by giving

import app.LookupForm in my action class.Even in that statement too it throws an error

cannot resolve symbol

Sorry, I saw lately that you alredy tried that.
I can tell you what is my organization of classes.

Java classes are stored under the WEB-INF/src (pure Java code)
and destination classes directory(include in build path) is defined in Eclipse environment
as WEB-INF/classes.
Obviosly there is some problem with classpath and visibility.
It is hard to tell more without more information about your development environment.

If your LookupForm.java
starts with:

package app;

you should put WEB-INF/classes as a path
not WEB-INF/classes/app

Rgd,
