my program needs print out 3 5 random numbers 10 times. skydiving problem in numbers 1-22 equal 1 point while 23-38 equal 2 points. have created program has 10 different rounds 5 random numbers in each round, can't seem print out formation related specific number i.e. if 1 number equal 1 print out "snowflake". i have tried using if statements way print out each of formations keep getting error saying int can't become boolean. package skydiving; import java.security.securerandom; public class skydiving{ public static void main(string[] args){ int = 1; securerandom randomnumbers = new securerandom(); while (i<=10){ system.out.printf("round %d",i++); system.out.println(""); int totalpoints = 0; (int counter = 1 ; counter <= 5; counter++) { int dive = 1 + randomnumbers.nextint(38); if(dive == 1) system.out.println("1: snowflake"); else if(dive == 2) system.out.println("2: sideb

so i'm attempting use org.apache.cxf.binding.soap.interceptor.soapheaderinterceptor in 1 of modules of project in eclipse. since new jar adding, downloaded myself , added referenced library under project. good. had class extend soapheaderinterceptor, , hunky dory. so once done coding everything, removed jar referenced libraries , instead added module's pom so: <dependency> <groupid>org.apache.cxf</groupid> <artifactid>cxf-rt-bindings-soap</artifactid> <version>2.5.2</version> </dependency> i did maven update on project, , subsequently saw jar added under maven dependencies. opened local m2 repository , it's there well. but getting errors on class (shown below) public class authenticationinterceptor extends soapheaderinterceptor as follows: the project not built since build path incomplete. cannot find class file org.apache.cxf.interceptor.abstractindatabindinginterceptor. fix build path

i understand when commit happens , when rollback happens in case of nested transaction different isolation levels calling , called methods, for example, have 2 spring services , i'm calling method2 of service2 method1 of service1. method1 having required transaction scope , method2 having requires_new transaction scope shown in program below. service1 { @transactional(propagation = propagation.required) method1() { for(int i=0; i<10; i++){ service2.method2(); } // more code takes time process } } service2 { @transactional(propagation = propagation.requires_new) method2() { //save information db // save object using jpa } } now question is, understand requires_new start new transaction, commit on existing method2 or spring waits till method1 completed , commits? i'm interested in @ point of time commit happens , row lock in db gets released persisted in method2. note: here have placed both methods in different services spr

i'm trying run .jar in ubuntu, , it's failing every time classnotfoundexception. thought problem jar file, after digging more thinking problem maven implementation. when run maven builds successfully, there errors in code. i've run same code using same method on several different computers, , has never happened. maven throws error when appropriate, fact it's allowing build after there clear errors makes me think might cause of .jar problems. i looking in target folder , noticed i'm missing "classes", "maven-status" , "generated-sources" folders in there. classpath variable set "/media/client-script/java-consumer-client" which should allow maven find classes, since in pom.xml has line <start-class>com.java.consumer.client.application</start-class> which package main class. i'm not sure why seems maven unable find classes in order run. here's screenshot of file structure. does have idea why
