Description MG CLA 2003-08-19 17:47:46 EDT 
Find a method in your code say HttpSession.setAttribute("attribute", "hello" + x);
Highlight setAttribute and right click search->java->references.  It will search
the code for references to setAttribute(String, Object) whereas it should search
for setAttribute(String, String);
Comment 1 Dani Megert CLA 2003-08-20 04:40:13 EDT 
worked for me using the following example:
public class Test {
	void a(String s, String a) {}
	void a(String s, Object o){}
	
	void doit(){
		a("s", "" + new Test());
		a("s", new Test());
	}		
}

In the UI we do a code resolve and then search for references via J Core API.
Maybe this can be reproduced with code in JARs.
Comment 2 Jerome Lanneluc CLA 2003-08-22 07:36:27 EDT 
Not sure I understand the problem: HttpSession has only one method setAttribute 
defined. It takes an Object as the second parameter. So calling it with a 
String can only bind to this method.
