java-programmer, newbie: "reference to object is ambiguous" error Hi!
I have this error compilling my application that I have created with
netbeans:

JFrameSample.java:164: reference to Object is ambiguous, both class
org.omg.CORBA.Object in org.omg.CORBA and class java.lang.Object
in java.lang match
new Object [][] {
^
1 error

How can I fix it? I need both: org.omg.CORBA and java.lang.*
any ideas?

Thanks!
LaCo

Rewrite your:
new Object [][]
as:
new java.lang.Object [][]

Use the full name: org.omg.CORBA.Object or java.lang.Object

You'll need to fully qualify one of the classes, and only import the other
(int this case you don't need to import java.lang.Object, since the
compiler does that for you).

...
//"normal" object
Object[] bla = Object[10];

//CORBA object:
org.omg.CORBA.Object bli = new org.omg.CORBA.Object(...);
...

This is one of those situations which perfectly illustrate why it's
not a good idea to use wild-card imports. You probably have something
like this:

import org.omg.CORBA.*;

What you SHOULD be doing (IMHO) is only importing the classes you're
actually going to use. IDEs like Eclipse will handle all of this for
you, BTW.
If you truly need both org.omg.CORBA.Object and java.lang.Object
(note that you don't have to import the java.lang classes) then all
the other responders have provided the answer: use the fully-qualified
class name.
