Java Method Overloading

[pierre...@gmail.com]

I have a model class Item with a Integer value. I builded an app using this model.

For a new particular case, the value should be a Float as well.

So I changed the type of value to Float and regenerate setter/getter. 

In order to not change the current app, I try to create a overloading method : 

public void setValue(Integer value) {

this.value = value.floatValue();

}

At java level, everything seems ok, all compile errors are solved. But at GWT compilation, the call of this method complains with :

            [ERROR] Line 93: The method setValue(Float) in the type Item is not applicable for the arguments (Integer)

 like if GWT doesnot see my method setValue(Integer).

 

 Am I missing something ? Is there a way to make this works without creating a second separate attribute ?

Thanks in advance

Could you show me the whole class?

this.value cannot be an Integer...

....

// This won't work in Java - Type mismatch...

private Integer value;

public void setValue(Integer value) {

   this.value = value.floatValue();

}

The value was an Integer but is now an Float:

private  Float  value;

The "normal" setter is now: 

public void setValue(Float value) {

this.value = value;

}

Then, I added this method  to accomodate the current app   :

public void setValue(Integer value) {

this.value = value.floatValue();

}
Thanks for any hint

Hi,

I could confirm your problem. Here is an example: 

https://github.com/lofidewanto/gwt-overloading/blob/main/src/main/java/com/github/lofi/client/Calculator.java

I ask on the Gitter channel: https://gitter.im/gwtproject/gwt

The error reads like you need to mark one the methods as not exported to JS

Yes, thanks.

Here is the result, I documented here with examples: https://github.com/lofidewanto/gwt-overloading

Hope this helps,

Thanks a lot, Lofi for your help. My code is similar to your CalculatorNoExport class as I dont use jsInterop.
I tried your example and it's works with the same GWTversion 2.9.0. So for now, I dont have any clue what prevents this to not work in my project.
Of course, it's more complex than your example, I use GWT Material Design for UI and RestyGwt for accessing Rest service ...
