Message:

Use StatusEvent.REPLACED

Posted by Kishori Sharan on February 21, 2001 at 5:15 PM

change the following
switch(event.getType()){
case event.REPLACED;
break;
}

to
switch(event.getType()){
case StatusEvent.REPLACED;
break;
}

In fact all labels for case statements must be a compile time constant. If you write event.REPLACED then it is not the compile time constant. You need to use classname.REPLACED i.e StatusEvent.REPLACED.

Thanx
Kishori
