Hello,

I am new to EGL and am trying the tutorials. I have gotten to the lesson "Access a database with EGL RichUI" and completed through lesson 8. I am getting an error reported as the following:

Failure: An exception occurred during a service call. Service:services.SQLService, Function:services.SQLService
Detail 1:
Detail 2:
Detail 3: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:paymentRec

In the Problems window I can see that there are many errors in the SQLService.java code and it all points to a description of "paymentRec cannot be resolved to a type".

Can anyone explain how to fix this issue? Otherwise I can't go any further.

Thanks

Hi Bernard,

Welcome!

It sounds like the record named paymentRec has not been generated to Java. First I would open up the .egl file containing the paymentRec definition, and see if there are any red error markers that talk about generation failing. If you don't see that, you can right-click this .egl file from the Project Explorer and select Properties. From this dialog select EGL Compiler, and make sure it has the Java Generator enabled (you can enable this generator at the project or package level if you don't want to enable it for specific files).

Hi Bernard,

Which project do you put the paymentRec.egl? The record definitions in this tutorial should be put into project PaymentShared (refer to the Lesson 3), and that project configured with Java & JavaScript generator. It should not have the part resolve issue if put the record definitions to PaymentShared project.

Thank you both for your reply, unfortunately everything is correct based on what you have stated. There are no errors in the source (red x), the paymentRec.egl in within the PaymentShared/EGLSource/records folder, and the EGL Compiler is set for both Java & JavaScript Generator.

Does the file paymentRec.java exist? And if it does, is PaymentShared on the Java build path of the project containing SQLService.java?

Yes, paymentRec.java does exist and it is under the /PaymentShared/generatedJava/records/paymentRec.java path. I am not sure what you mean by "build path".

However within this paymentRec.java file there are warning errors. They are below. The errors are the same within the PAYMENT.java file.

Description Resource Path Location Type
Type safety: The return type EAny for ezeUnbox() from the type EAny needs unchecked conversion to conform to T from the type EAny PAYMENT.java /PaymentShared/generatedJava/records line 17 Java Problem

I also found within the Properties of the PaymentService project the Java Build Path settings. I added PaymentShared to this and now I have no errors in the java files. I still have the 4 warnings reported above. This did NOT resolve the initial problem so I still get the following:

Failure: An exception occurred during a service call. Service:services.SQLService, Function:services.SQLService
Detail 1:
Detail 2:
Detail 3: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:paymentRec

One thing I noticed, while copying in the code for the SQLService.egl, is I couldn't see any SQL statement when using Ctrl+1 on the "get" statement in getAllPayments(), whereas I could see the SQL statements in addPayment, editPayment, and deletePayment.

Okay, so it sounds like your compilation problems are resolved, but you're still getting the error. At first glance it appears that the Java debugger was not able to update with the new .class file. If this is the case, then if you go to the Debug view in the Debug perspective and terminate the process for the EDT Test Server for project PaymentClient then it will start up a new instance of the server on the next service invocation. If this turns out to fix the problem then I'm going to investigate why the .class file wasn't picked up automatically, but hopefully this will in the meantime let you continue the tutorial.

Thank you Justin. I restarted Eclipse and it did get further, something must have been still running.

Now on to my second dilemma. Since I want to ultimately connect to an iSeries database I used that as my database instead of Derby, in this tutorial. Sorry, trying to do too much at once but I need to shorten my learning time as much as possible. Anyway, I am now getting a new error I it might be related to the jt400.jar not being deployed into the service, not sure. I was successful in adding my iSeries database connection into the Resource bindings of PaymentService.egldd and the Test Connection worked fine. Is there something else I am missing? Here is my new error:

Failure: An exception occurred during a service call. Service:services.SQLService, Function:services.SQLService
Detail 1:
Detail 2:
Detail 3: No suitable driver found for jdbc:as400:TSFCDEV;prompt=false: [sqlstate:08001][sqlcode:0]

That sounds just like https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=365359

This bug is fixed in the 0.8 Milestone 1 build, which you can install by adding the following update site: http://download.eclipse.org/edt/milestones/1.0/

I think there was a workaround to remove the default schema from the connection you defined in the workspace, and then manually put myDataSource.setCurrentSchema("schemaName"); in your code after the resource binding has been retrieved. But this is only needed if you don't want to update to 0.8M1.

Hi Bernard,

Hope you can finally get the tutorial run successfully, and feel free to ask here if having any problems.

For your problem of Ctrl + 1 cannot generate the SQL statements, we have a bug (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=369021) opened for this, and it will be resolved soon.

Okay, I updated to the latest version using the milestones folder. I then clicked on preview but I am now getting a different error and it appears it has something to do with the java code generated. Here is the display error:

Failure: An exception occurred during a service call. Service:services.SQLService, Function:services.SQLService
Detail 1:
Detail 2:
Detail 3: java.lang.reflect.GenericSignatureFormatError

In the errors window I also have 32 errors and they are as follows:

Description Resource Path Location Type

I don't work on the Java code that's generated for services, but my first thought is that the code needs to be regenerated due to changes in the runtime (once we hit a 1.0 release then these types of breaking changes should stop). Try a "Project > Clean" (from the main toolbar) on your workspace. If that doesn't clear up the compile errors in the Java code I'll see if I can reproduce this on my machine.

Got it! Thanks for the help!

Once I performed the "Project > Clean" it appeared to toast my handler. I then restarted Eclipse and it showed properly in the design tab, so I clicked on the Preview tab and no errors. I then clicked the Sample button and the data was created and displayed. Now I can continue connecting the other buttons.

Thanks again. This tool has great potential, if you can keep us isolated from the complexity of java and all of it's pieces, otherwise it's just too much for a business developer doing rapid application development.

Excellent!

As for hiding the complexities of Java (or anything else, for that matter), I encourage you to open bugzilla enhancements or post suggestions to the forum. The best way for us to simplify development is to know exactly which parts people are having the most trouble with.

I will let you know, if I see areas where it's just too complex to figure out Smile

Smile

I have developed extensively in Visual Studio and that tool works well for rapid application development/change/deployment, but would like to see tools that are more "generic". Tools that allow us to develop for whatever front end the industry throws at us. Again, your tool has potential because this tutorial database app has the basic functions used within all maintenance/inquiry apps.

Now to get to a point where I can test performance Wink

When I try the project->clean, after restart eclipse, I get the following error.

The problem is still there.

Right-click the PaymentService project and select "Properties". Then click on "Java Build Path", and then click the "Projects" tab. Add the project containing paymentRec.java if it's not already in the list. This should clear up the compilation error for SQLService.java.

Hope this helps.

After upgrade to the 0.8 latest version. The problem is fixed but a new problem occurs.

It complains with the following error.

We mask that part to continue the learning.
Some programmer gets the following error message.

Could not render UI
CRRUI3664E
[CRRUI2094E] There are EGL function calls leading to this error:

Exception thrown and not caught
PaymentClient/handlers/PaymentFileMaintenance.html?contextKey=10:21
[CRRUI2095E] Could not find the EGL function calls leading to this error.

Below is my source. And actually, I can deploy this project to Tomcat 6 before this error occurs.

function start()
readFromTable(); // this is line 284
end

function cellClicked(myGrid DataGrid in)
selectedPayment = allPayments_ui.getSelection()[1] as paymentRec;
selectedPayment_form.publish();
selectedPayment_category_comboBox.value = PaymentLib.getCategoryDesc(selectedPayment.category);
end

Hi!

After changing the line as following, the problem fixed. But I don't know why some programmer pass the compilation even without putting the interface name there.
call SQLService.getAllPayments() using new HttpProxy("services.SQLService") returning to updateAll onException serviceExceptionHandler;

Back to the formatter error. The source is as following. What is wrong with formatters = [ formatCategory ] ? This has no problem when we use version 0.7

columns =[
new DataGridColumn{name = "category", displayName = "Type",
width = 90, formatters = [ formatCategory ]},
new DataGridColumn{name = "description", displayName = "Description",
width = 120},
new DataGridColumn{name = "amount", displayName = "Amount due",
width = 90, alignment = DataGridLib.ALIGN_RIGHT}
],

As you've observed, when using an interface in the call statement you must supply the implementation name (this is not required if referencing the service part directly). It's valid syntax to leave the implementation name out, therefore you do not get a validation error, and instead get a runtime error. An example as to why it can't be a validation error would be you have defined your own type of IHTTP that does not have such a requirement. It would be like getting a validation error because you are assigning a string field to an integer field, and the string field contains non-numeric data; this is valid syntax and would only fail at runtime.

As for the formatter error, this is due to a change we made I think in 0.8 M3 where the string type is now a reference type instead of a value type, meaning its default parameter modifier has changed from INOUT to IN. The CellFormatter delegate defines the parameters to be of type INOUT, therefore you must change your function signature to: function formatCategory(class string inout, value string inout, rowData any in)

Right now the tutorial has it use the default modifier, which is no longer INOUT, and thus doesn't match the definition of CellFormatter.

I've updated the tutorial for this change so that it's once again without error. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Hi.

Regarding the format errors, can you list what version of the widget projects you are using in EDT .8?

Due to changes in the compiler that require a '?' modifier on function parameters that accept a null value, most of the format function delegates had to be updated. I am guessing that you will need to add a '?' to the parameters in your implementation of the format functions.

Excellent! As a next step I would try to come up with a small application idea that uses similar concepts as the tutorial, to see if you're able to accomplish the task without being told what to do, and then from there you could add more and more complexity to the user interface and/or service logic to become more familiar with the tools and language. Feel free to post any questions that might arise from this!
