What is the "Compile time constant" norm for a switch case constant ?

843789Oct 30 2009 — edited Oct 30 2009
Hi Guys,

AS per the Kathy Sierra written book for SCJP 1.5 :

The case constant for a switch statement must be a compile time constant,only final is not enough.

Now,what is a compile time constant ?

Don't even integers which are declared normally ( For ex. int k=5;) act as case constants in a switch statement ?

Thanks.

Do I misunderstand your request?

Clicking here will select all your schemas

Yes exactly. Our environment has many schemas which maybe is not often the case.
I'm using filtering a lot in the navgation tree and the behaviour would fit here too in my opinion.
