Copying and modifying array elements

The for loop in which you copy the values from oldscores to newscores is never run in the case of SCORES_SIZE == 1, since SCORES_SIZE – 1 == 0, and 0 < 0 is false immediately. Move the newScores[SCORES_SIZE – 1] = oldScores[0]; line outside the for loop:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name ‘MyController’:

Copied from the stacktrace: BeanInstantiationException: Could not instantiate bean class [com.gestEtu.project.model.dao.CompteDAOHib]: No default constructor found; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: com.gestEtu.project.model.dao.CompteDAOHib.<init>() By default, Spring will try to instantiate beans by calling a default (no-arg) constructor. The problem in your case is that the implementation of the CompteDAOHib has a constructor with a SessionFactory argument. By adding the @Autowired annotation to a constructor, … Read more

Illegal Escape Character “\”

“Content is not allowed in prolog” when parsing perfectly valid XML on GAE

The encoding in your XML and XSD (or DTD) are different.XML file header: <?xml version=’1.0′ encoding=’utf-8′?>XSD file header: <?xml version=’1.0′ encoding=’utf-16′?> Another possible scenario that causes this is when anything comes before the XML document type declaration. i.e you might have something like this in the buffer: or even a space or special character. There are some … Read more
