Java - Trouble Accessing ValueMap

I've got a pretty simple script that simply accesses a resources properties via a ValueMap. Except for some reason I keep getting an unexpected token error were the if statement starts. This has to be something I'm just overlooking. 

public class headerComponent{
  ValueMap property = resource.adaptTo(ValueMap.class);
  if(property != null) {
    pageHeader = property.get("pageHeader", "");
  }
}

Any ideas? Thanks for the help.

Because you are using if direct inside your class. This should be inside a function.

For Ex:

public class headerComponent{
  ValueMap property = resource.adaptTo(ValueMap.class);

public void getMeProp()
{
  if(property != null) {
    pageHeader = property.get("pageHeader", "");
  }
}

}

If you want to return your string then use public String getMeProp() and in the end of the function return pageHeader. Depends how you want to implement.
