Error when executing a java program 2

[pjeypal]

I am trying to compile this class

import java.sql.*;  

class JdbcTest1 {  
      
    public static void main (String[] args) {  
        try {  

            // Step 1: Load the JDBC driver.  
            Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");  

            // Step 2: Establish the connection to the database.  
            String url = "jdbc:odbc:data413";  
            Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"pilatdba","p1latdba");   
            Thread.currentThread.sleep(2000);
             conn.close();
        } catch (Exception e) {  
            System.err.println("Got an exception! ");  
            System.err.println(e.getMessage());  
        }  
    }  
}

i keep getting this error

C:\>javac JdbcTest.java
JdbcTest.java:14: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : variable currentThread
location: class java.lang.Thread
Thread.currentThread.sleep(2000);

Hi

The lang package is by default imported into the class. Therefore the issue is something else. I tried with the import statement but still the same error

 

[obadare]

<code>
Thread.currentThread.sleep(2000);

should be Thread.currentThread().sleep(2000);

</code>

Hi

Oops ! I withdraw my words. You are right pjeypal.

Please do not post about the same problem in two posts.

In any case, You do not need to get the current thread, because this call :

Thread.sleep(x);

sleeps the currently executing thread - so the call to currentThread() is superfluous.

feherke, you don't need to import Thread since it is in the java.lang package whose members are automatically available.
