[Mapserver-users] java mapscript getPoints is already defined error

[Merlos]

I also had that problem when compiling java mapscript for mapserver 4.2

If you compare original java files with patched java files you will see that 
it only removes the redundant functions. The problem is that in C++ you can 
return different classes in two methods that have the same name and 
arguments, but in java it is not possible.

So what I did to overtake this error was edit symbolObj.java nd on line 207 
removed this line:

  public lineObj getPoints() {

And added:

  public lineObj getPoints(boolean lala) {
       if (lala==true) {}

 
At least it compiled. And could finish all the stuff following the steps of 
the howto.


Regards. Juan.


I suppose it would be a good idea add it to the wiki.
