I've created a custom button called Commit and I'm trying to call the following method using action = {!.commit},

Apex below

Unexpected token: commit line 113

Do I need to do anything else to be able to call commit in my VF?

  • Not sure why my previous comment was deleted, {!.commit} was a typo. I'm getting an Compile error on Line 113 after PageReference

The problem is probably that "commit" is a reserved word in Apex so you can't use it as a method or variable name. (When the compiler encounters such a word it has special meaning, it's part of the language.) Use a different name in the code and in the Visualforce.

Apex has a lot of these - see Reserved Keywords.

  • This really great to know.. Keith C.. have you used this keyword some where. I never used this. I am just wondering where salesforce used this keyword.

  • @Ratan No I haven't; I think they just reserved the word in case they ever wanted to introduce the concept in the future.
