Hi Nikolay, That's correct, the "out" variable generated by the JspWriter is not the same as the one which is generated for the JSP fragments within the "new ActionListener() {...}" definition. And the error simply says that the JspWriter's "out" method is not final and hence not accessible to the inner class defined with "new ActionListener() {...}".
Could you not use something as below:- button.addActionLister( new ActionListener() { // code here PrintWriter outPW response.getWriter(); boolean res=function(); if (res) { outPW.print("TRUE"); } else { outPW.print("FALSE" } } ); HTH, Dharmendra ps: have a good day! -----Original Message----- From: A mailing list about Java Server Pages specification and reference [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Nikolay Georgiev Sent: Friday, August 19, 2005 6:57 PM To: JSP-INTEREST@JAVA.SUN.COM Subject: JSP with JFrame Hello Everyone, I'm developing a JSP page and can not do the following thing: The JSP page should lunch a JFrame (basically it's a panel with a button). There is a listener to the button and when the user click it, it calls a boolean function. And I want depending on the returned result from this function to show different JSP pages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- MY APPROACH: So here is what I've done: In my JSP page, i've added the listener to the button ( button.addActionLister( new ActionListener() { // code here; boolean res=function(); if (res) { %> OK <% } else { %> FALSE <% } } ); But when run this JSP on Tomcat, it gives the error: Cannot refer to a non-final variable out inside an inner class defined in a different method The problem here is that, The JSP is converted into Serlet which contains the non-final variable "out" from type JspWriter and I cannot access it. I've changed it to final in the created servlet and then recompiled it, but somehow It doesn't work and I don't know what to do. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maybe my approach is too difficult or I don't know. Any suggestions would be great. =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
