<identifier> expected. java

java

Solution

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).

Problem

I have this snippet of java code. I am a noob in java.. Error : ``` <identifier> expected cfg = new Config; ``` Code: ``` import java.sql.Connection; import java.sql.DriverManager; import java.sql.PreparedStatement; import java.sql.ResultSet; import java.sql.SQLException; import java.util.HashMap; import java.util.HashSet; import java.util.Set; import java.io.*; import java.util.*; import java.util.Properties; public class Config { Properties configFile; public Config() { configFile = new java.util.Properties(); try { configFile.load(this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("config")); }catch(Exception eta){ eta.printStackTrace(); } } public String getProperty(String key) { String value = this.configFile.getProperty(key); return value; } } public class ClosureBuilder { ``` `cfg = new Config();` ``` private static String JDBC = cfg.getProperty("JDBC"); private static String URL = cfg.getProperty("URL"); private static String DIMENSION_TABLE = cfg.getProperty("DIMENSION_TABLE"); private static String CLOSURE_TABLE = cfg.getProperty("CLOSURE_TABLE"); private static String KEY = cfg.getProperty("KEY"); private static String PARENT_KEY = cfg.getProperty("PARENT_KEY"); private static Object TOP_LEVEL_PARENT_KEY = '0'; private Object topLevel = null; private Set<Object> processedNodes; private PreparedStatement aPst; public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { ----------- More code -------- ```
