problem with accessing code after method call

Jun 25th, 2009
I have a code that calls a method, but after this call, any code after it is not executed....here is the method call skeleton
java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.  
  2. if(//some condition){
  3. //some code
  4. myMethod(//some variables);
  5. //some code/*not executed*/
  6. }

the calling is done well but the code stays in that method i.e code following the method call is not executed. I dont know if this maybe due to the method being called because there method does not return anything. below is a skeleton of the method
java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. public void myMethod(//some variables)
  2. {
  3.     //some code here, basically initializing buffer streams
  4. 	try
  5. 	{
  6. 	   //a new file output stream is created here
  7. 	}
  8.  
  9. 	catch(IOException e ){
  10. 	}
  11.  
  12. 	//some jpeg encoding code
  13.  
  14. 	try 
  15. 	{ 
  16. 		// jpeg encoder and closing the file stream
  17. 	}
  18.  
  19. 	catch (IOException e){
  20.  
  21. 	}
  22. }

I hope this can put my point across. Any help is highly appreciated

You could have an infinite loop. You could never return from your function. You could have some uncaught exception that is crashing the program. You need to put in some debugging to see how far you make it. Breakpoints would be better, but since I can't put them here, I'll use System.out.println statements. See how far you get by what displays. Again, breakpoints are much faster, with nothing to remember to delete.

java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. public void myMethod(//some variables)
  2. {
  3.     //some code here, basically initializing buffer streams
  4.  
  5. 	    System.out.println ("Before first  try");
  6.  
  7. 	try
  8. 	{
  9. 	   //a new file output stream is created here
  10. 	    System.out.println ("In first try");
  11. 	}
  12.  
  13. 	catch(IOException e ){
  14. 	    System.out.println ("In first catch");
  15. 	}
  16.  
  17. 	//some jpeg encoding code
  18. 	    System.out.println ("Between first and second try/catch");
  19.  
  20. 	try 
  21. 	{ 
  22. 		// jpeg encoder and closing the file stream
  23. 	    System.out.println ("In second try");
  24. 	}
  25.  
  26. 	catch (IOException e){
  27. 	    System.out.println ("In second catch");
  28. 	}
  29.  
  30.         System.out.println ("Made it to end of myMethod");
  31. }

thanks..managed to debug the code. However, I have another problem with using class objects. I have 2 classes, which need objects if each other..however, I cant seem to find a way of making this work...below is an example, and some of the obvious ideas that cannot work.
java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.  
  2. myClass2 class2 =new myClass2(class4);
  3. //other instantiations 
  4. myClass4 class4=new myClass2(class1, class2, class3);
and
java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. //other instantiations 
  2. myClass4 class4=new myClass2(class1, class2, class3)
  3. myClass2 class2 =new myClass2(class4);

You're right, that won't work.

JAVA Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. myClass4 class4=new myClass2(class1, class2, class3)
  2. myClass2 class2 =new myClass2(class4);

class2 is created in line 2, so it doesn't exist yet in line 1, so you can't pass it in line 1. So don't pass it. You can set it later, after both objects exist:


JAVA Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. myClass4 class4=new myClass2(class1, class3)
  2. myClass2 class2 =new myClass2(class4);
  3. class4.setclass2 (class2);

I dont get what you mean by
Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.  class4.setclass2(class2)
Is setclass a reserved method or something or is there something I didnt quite understand

No, it is not a "reserved method". He means for you to create the method, so that after your Object is created, you can use that method to pass it to the other class. A small example:

Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. public class ExampleClass{
  2.      String myString;
  3.      public void setString(String otherString){
  4.           myString = otherString;
  5.      }
  6. }
Out.
