Re: Incompatible types Java compiler error

[swillcox]

More info:

neo4j.jar 1.7.2

The compilation error happens on existing application code that does compile ok when the neo jar is not in the classpath.

Here's the code that does not compile with this jar in the classpath:

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Qualifier;

import java.lang.annotation.ElementType;

import java.lang.annotation.Retention;

import java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy;

import java.lang.annotation.Target;

@Target({ElementType.FIELD, ElementType.PARAMETER})

@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)

@Qualifier

public @interface RequestTracking {

    String value() default RequestTrackingContext.QUALIFIER;

}

When I include neo4j-kernel.jar in my classpath I get the following java compiler error:

RequestTracking.java:14: incompatible types

found   : java.lang.String

required: java.lang.String

After removing the jar, all is well - no errors.

Using java version "1.6.0_29"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_29-b11-402-10M3527)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.4-b02-402, mixed mode)

Anyone have an idea what's going on here?

Thanks

Try to fully qualify the enum with package, that's imho a known compiler bug.

    String value() default com.example.....RequestTrackingContext.QUALIFIER;

Awesome! That fixed it. Thank you.
