Problem with static variables and methods

[raphy]

Hello,

I have my tools class as follows:

 

 

public class Tools

{

public static final String Name = "Raphy" ;

 

public static final String getName ()

{

return Name ;

}

}

 

 

Code:

 public class Tools
{
  public static final String Name = "Raphy" ;
  
  public static final String getName ()
  {
    return Name ;
  }
} 

 

 

When I set the textfield expression for the textfield as "Tools.Name" and executing the report gave me the results "Raphy". This is correct.

 

But when I set the textfield expression for the same textfield as "Tools.getName()" and when executing the report I got the error message as follows:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: test/Tools

 

The tools class and the report are in the same directory & and classpath set correctly.

 

Please help me

Best regards

Raphy
