http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22867 Tag handlers can't be inner/nested classes ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-09-02 22:32 ------- Ah, I'm probably wrong there ... the JLS does allow identifiers to contain '$', and javac still allows that. But javac no longer allows you to work with the assumption that a compiled nested class B in a top-level class A will be called A$B ... and the JLS never allowed us to make that assumption in the first place. So I shouldn't be attempting to refer to this class with the A$B syntax. What, then, is the correct way to refer to it? Must I use A.B syntax? I guess so, according to JLS Section 6.7, Fully Qualified Names and Canonical Names: A member class or member interface M of another class C has a fully qualified name if and only if C has a fully qualified name. In that case, the fully qualified name of M consists of the fully qualified name of C, followed by ".", followed by the simple name of M. But presumably the only bug here is that using this correct A.B syntax is failing with the abovementioned error: "Unable to load class generator" (where "generator" is just the tagname, which is placed in this error message instead of the classname registered for that tag, probably by mistake -- I guess that's a little "extra bug" here :) ) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
