Question

OK, this fails:

public class MyLoginBean extends org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm {

    private String[] roles;

    public MyLoginBean() {
        this.roles  = {"User"};
    }
}

This works:

public class MyLoginBean extends org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm {

    private String[] roles;

    public MyLoginBean() {
        String[] blah  = {"User"};
    }
}

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Try

public class MyLoginBean extends org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm {

    private String[] roles;

    public MyLoginBean() {
        this.roles  = new String[]{"User"};
    }
}

the array initializer of type String[] foo = {"bar1", "bar2"}; can be used if only you have the declaration and initialization together. If you seperate the initialization from declaration, you cannot do {...}; you’ll have to new String[]{...}
