Method problems

[nonshatter]

Hey, can anyone tell me what's wrong with this method? I keep getting <identifier> expected error on line 1.

public static void FaultHandler (DatagramSocket aSocket, InetAddress aHost, int proxyPort, byte[] requestArray, rec_bytes) {
	int faultCount = 0;
    while ( faultCount < 4 ) {
      DatagramPacket request = new DatagramPacket(requestArray, requestArray.length, aHost, proxyPort);	
      aSocket.send(request);	
      try {
	      aSocket.setSoTimeout(4000);
	      aSocket.receive(reply);
	  }
    catch ( SocketTimeoutException e ) {
	      faultCount++;
	      continue; 
	  }
    catch ( IOException e ) {	
	break;
	if ( faultCount >= 3 )
	System.exit(0);
     }
    }
}

Thanks

Change:
byte[] requestArray, rec_bytes

To:
byte[] requestArray, byte[] rec_bytes

I don't think you can initialize multiple variables from a single type like that within the method header.

Thanks, now that solves that problem, but I'm now it's throwing 14 different errors. I think they're related to the same method but can't find what the problem is!
Here is the full code:

import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;

      aSocket.send(request);	
      try {
	      aSocket.setSoTimeout(4000);
	      aSocket.receive(reply);
	  }
    catch ( SocketTimeoutException e ) {
	      faultCount++;
	      continue;

and here are the compiler errors...

Please ignore the poor coding style - I'm still learning! Thanks
