"zero service" error

[Andras Nagy]

Hi,
Maybe someone can help me. I get a:
"Zero service while at recoder.java.declaration.TypeDeclaration.getMethods(TypeDeclaration.java)"
error when calling getMethods() on a TypeDeclaration instance. The relevant code snippet is:

ServiceConfiguration config=new DefaultServiceConfiguration();
ProjectSettings settings=config.getProjectSettings();
PathList pathList=settings.getSearchPathList();
pathList.add("/usr/local/share/jdk1.3.1_02/src");
SourceFileRepository rep=config.getSourceFileRepository();
rep.getAllCompilationUnitsFromPath();
SourceInfo si =config.getSourceInfo();

CompilationUnit cu = rep.getCompilationUnit(CLASS_TO_TEST);

TypeDeclaration typeDeclaration= cu.getPrimaryTypeDeclaration();
MethodList methods=typeDeclaration.getMethods();

Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thank you in advance.

I just began to play with recoder and I ran into this problem too.

This is in fact not an error but a logging information located in TypeDeclaration:

if (service == null) {
Debug.log("Zero service while " + Debug.makeStackTrace());
updateModel();
}

If you want to avoid this message, you may change the source code or you may call the updateModel() method of the ChangeHistory instance just before retrieving the methods :

config.getChangeHistory().updateModel();

I guess recoder should use a more standard logger such as log4j or commons logging to allow the user to choose the appropriate logging level.

Hi Barthelemy,
Thanks a lot for your help, you were right.

I've forgot to add that afterwards it seems to work though (the methods are returned), I just don't know why I'm getting the error message.

thanks,
