[news.eclipse.tools.jdt] AST visitor

[Jing Xie <jingxie86@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Everyone,

I ran into a problem which drove me crazy.

I was trying to traverse an AST of a java file to print out the line 
information of all the MethodInvocation nodes. I subclass the ASTVisitor 
 for the MethodInvocation node like this:

public class MethodInvocationVisitor extends ASTVisitor{
       public boolean visit (MethodInvocation node){
               int line = node.getStartPosition();
               System.out.println("Visiting: " + line + "; " + node);
               return false;
             }
}

The java file for the AST is pretty simple (doesn't make much sense, but 
that's what I need):

import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class HelloWorld {
	static HttpServletRequest request = null;
	/**
	 * @param args
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		String contentType;		
		String username = request.getParameter("username");
		contentType = request.getContentType();
                printName(username);
                printName(contentType);
	}
	
	public static void printName(String username){
        request.setAttribute("username",request.getAttribute(username));
		System.out.println(username);
		
	}

}

The total line number showed in the editor is only 21.
But the console output looks like this:
Visiting: 218; request.getParameter("username")
Visiting: 269; request.getContentType()
Visiting: 304; printName(username)
Visiting: 334; printName(contentType)
Visiting: 417; 
request.setAttribute("username",request.getAttribute(username))
Visiting: 485; System.out.println(username)

This is ridiculously wrong, but I have no idea where to check, since 
this is really simple, I was just following the tutorials I found on the 
Internet.

I'd appreciate if someone can pinpoint the root cause of this problem.

Thanks.
Jing
