- JTabbedPane doesn't follow Sun's UI standard?
I'm using the JTabbedPane control.
While looking for a way to get rid of the line between the tabs and the
selected frame, I noticed that the Sun guidelines show that there shouldn't
be one there in the first place:
http://java.sun.com/products/jlf/ed2/book/HIG.Windows3.html#38176
Is this maybe a result of using the system L&F on MS windows?
Is there any way of changing this?

- Using pictures from the jar?
I create the jar with my classes, pictures and some txt files. The
application is starting just fine if picture folder is out of the jar.
If the folder picture is in the jar I don't see the pictures on my buttons
and everywhere.
How to solve that problem?

- Event-Handling: Using one single class for different events?
Hi!
I am rather new to Java, so please, don't blame me for this question.
What I want is to seperate the GUI- from the Application code. Hence,
I have created three classes:
1. a Main class
2. a MainFrameCommand class, which parses the events
3. a MainFrameGUI class, that creates and paints the gui
(for a trivial example see end of this post)
Now, my question is this: Is it correct, to put all the various events
into one single command class (i.e, Focus-, Key-, Mouse-, and Windows-
Events) and then register the various event-listeners using this
single class?
It works perfectly, however, I wonder if this is a legal way to do so,
or is it necessary to create a seperate class for every different
event-listener-type?
Example:
------------------------------------------------------------
1. Main Class
------------------------------------------------------------
class Main {
public static void main(final String[] args) {
MainFrameCommand cmd = new MainFrameCommand();
MainFrameGUI gui = new MainFrameGUI(cmd);
}
}
------------------------------------------------------------
2. MainFrameCommand Class
------------------------------------------------------------
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
class MainFrameCommand
implements KeyListener, MouseMotionListener, WindowListener {
/* Key Listener */
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent event) {}
public void keyReleased(KeyEvent event) {}
public void keyTyped(KeyEvent event) {}
/* MouseMotion Listener */
public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent event) {}
public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent event) {}
/* WindowListener */
public void windowClosed(WindowEvent event) {}
public void windowOpened(WindowEvent event) {}
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent event) {}
public void windowActivated(WindowEvent event) {}
public void windowDeactivated(WindowEvent event) {}
public void windowIconified(WindowEvent event) {}
public void windowDeiconified(WindowEvent event) {}
}
------------------------------------------------------------
3. MainFrameGUI Class
------------------------------------------------------------
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
class MainFrameGUI extends Frame {
public MainFrameGUI(MainFrameCommand cmd) {
super("Window");
setSize(300, 300);
setVisible(true);
/* !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HERE'S THE CRUCIAL QUESTION
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is it legal to add register all these
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! event listeners using the same object?!?
*/
addKeyListener(cmd);
addWindowListener(cmd);
addMouseMotionListener(cmd);
}
public void paint(Graphics g) {}

- Progress bar to show the progress of a taskIn my application one click on the start button will fire one specific
task which includes some numerical computation routines and data
visualization routines.
Want to use progress bar to show the progress of the task execution,
even after reading sun's java swing tutorials still not clear how to
set the maximum length of the progress bar and update the progress
status.
Really appreciate your time and kind help!
Thanks a lot.

- Problem communicating with socket applicationI am experiencing problems when trying to communicate with a TCP socket
based application that does not always append a <CR> at the end of the data
and so cannot use readLine on a BufferedInputStream.
I have tried using a simple read in to a char array but have found that
where the application has sent 4 records using 4 separate socket writes, my
read operation has resulted in them all being read in to one array and I
have no means of determining where one record ends and the next begins,
unless there are <CR> appended to each record, which as I stated is not
always the case :(
Using a normal unix socket read operation in C++ I would not have this
problem as each read operation would result in one record.
How can I get java sockets to operate in a similar manner as unix socket
reads so that one record is obtained in each read operation, regardless of
whether it is appended with a <CR> or not?
TIA,
Pep.

- Accessing the associated dataModel when a particular frame is selectedI have JDesktop containing one or more JInternalFrames. Each of these
frames contains a JScrollPane which in turn contains a JTable, each
with its own tableModel. I wish to add a row to the table in the
currently selected frame. How do I recover the tableModel to do this?
I can do it if I only have a single table using:
table.getModel().addRow(item);
but it would be easier for my end users if they could have multiple
tables open. The tables all have the same structure but have differing
numbers of rows. I also may need to edit existing items in the tables.
In line with the MVC architecture of Swing, it appears as if I am
trying to get to the model through the view rather than keeping the
model separate. This implies that I should keep a list (collection?)
of each model as I create it in my application. The difficulty then
becomes associating the currently selected view with the appropriate
model so that the editing is done in the appropriate table.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Oh, and a happy new year to everyone :-)

- Can start() method access applet parameters?I have a signed applet that needs to read in data passed from HTML
page
via PARAM elements defined in EMBED tag. Since I cannot launch a
method
directly via JavaScript (bug), I thought I'd try to see if I could get
the
code to run as needed via the start() method by reloading the page.
But my
applet is not recognizing the parameter values being passed in (when
output
for debugging, they show up as null). Can parameters be passed like
this to
the start() method??
Test HTML page:
<html>
<head><title>

</EMBED>
<br><br>
<img name="copy" src="copy.png" onMouseDown="location.reload(true);">

public class LaunchHSDXPlugIn extends Applet
{
public void start()
{
System.out.println("\n** In start method.\n");

Thread.sleep(2500);
getval = getParameter("VBCodeLocation");
System.out.println("the vbcodelocation is " + getval);
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(getval);
}
catch (SecurityException e1)

- Notifying ClientsHi,
I want my server to notify all the clients connected to it.
Basically the server should send the no. of files (count) in each
directories. I don't want the server to send this to each and every
client individually. This should be done in an efficient way.
Will JMS be used efficiently for this? or Is there any other way
to do this efficiently?
Thanks,
Ganesh

- Newbie question on stopping an applicationI have a simple console application that prompts the user to enter two
numbers and then the program multiplies these two numbers and spits out
the product. No problem so far. The difficulty I'm having is that if
someone enters a negative number, I want the program to reply something
like "Does not accept negative numbers!" then stop. I tried using
"break;" but it generated an error message and said that I was using it
"outside the loop" or something like that. I would be grateful if
someone could give me a clue on what I might use for this. Thank you
very much. My code is below.
public class Kilowatt
{
private double costKiloWattHours; //example 8.42 which means cents
private double hoursUsedPerYear; //example 653
private double annualCost;
public void setCost(double cost)
{
if (cost <= 0)
{
//I want the program to say "You can't enter a negative number."
//Then the program should stop execution.
}
else
{
costKiloWattHours = cost / 100;
}
}
public void setHours(double hours)
{
hoursUsedPerYear = hours;
}
public double getAnnualCost()
{
annualCost = costKiloWattHours * hoursUsedPerYear;
return annualCost;
}
}
import java.util.Scanner;
class Kilowatt_Test
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
double myCost;
double myHours;
Scanner myScanner = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("What's the cost per kilowatt hour? ");
myCost = myScanner.nextDouble();
Kilowatt myKilowatt = new Kilowatt();
myKilowatt.setCost(myCost);
System.out.print("How many kilowatt-hours are used per year? ");
myHours = myScanner.nextDouble();
myKilowatt.setHours(myHours);
System.out.println("The annual cost is: " +
myKilowatt.getAnnualCost());
}

Read Roedy's reply carefully. He was able to succinctly describe the
limitations of the HTTP protocol, namely that it's stateless. What I
would suggest you consider is a hybrid of available technologies.
Given what you've described to-date, I would lean towards a JMS
solution. This would provide "loose coupling" and incorporates some
of Roedy's suggestions in terms of queueing requests/responses.
Insofar as J2EE servers, have you had a look at JBoss? While I
wouldn't recommend it for commercial, mission-critical applications,
it can serve as a powerful development platform when linked with the
Eclipse IDE. It might be enough to demonstrate to your client that
there IS a better way.
I'm just throwing out suggestions as what you're describing is quite
complex and would involve a major investment in time for development.
That will translate to $$, no matter how much or little you charge
per hour.

- Java maybe, some help with something puzzlingHi all,
I was given this quiz as it were. I'm asked certain questions about
two snippets of code. The questions do not indicate the programming
language. I'm mainly familiar with java methods but don't know if other
languages would also use "methods." I'm also a bit confused because an
Array, which is indicated in the code below, should have the square brackets
[] and yet this code snippet is lacking that. Any advice on what I might
want to look at to understand this code further would be
greatly appreciated. Sorry if I seem ignorant here.
1. Consider the following method:
private int wrongCode(Integer num){
if (num > 6){
return num - 5;
} else {
return num.parseInt();
}
}
What are the errors?
2. Consider the following methods:
public int run() {
List group1 = new ArrayList();
for (int i=0;i<3;i++) {
group1.add(i);
}
List group2 = this.makeNewList(group1);
return group2.size() - group1.size();
}
private List makeNewList(List list) {
List other = list;
other.remove(other.size() - 1);
return other;
}
What value is returned from the method run() after it is called?
Thanks,
bruce

- Problem with "if - else" statement in for loopI am having problems with this section of code...
public void updateRank(){
int x = -1;
int y = -1;
String winnerMemNum = JOptionPane.showInputDialog
("Enter winner's membership number:");
int wMemNum = Integer.parseInt(winnerMemNum);
for(int i=0;i<list.size();i++){
Player temp = (Player)list.get(i);
if(temp.getMemberNumber() == wMemNum)
x = i;
else
System.out.println("Player not found");
break;
}
I want the condition in the if statement to be tested for every element
in the list before the code in the else block executes, but at the
moment it is only testing the first element. I know I need to put
brackets in, but when I did that, the whole thing stopped working! Any
ideas?

- Java clock offsettable by minutes?I'm trying to find a Java clock applet that will allow me to offset the
minutes. Ideally, something attractive, customizable, TZ-sensitive *AND*
with a minutes offset.
I've searched pretty thoroughly, but that last requirement doesn't seem to
exist in the online archives. (Note that I mean a real minutes offset, not
just a 0030 TZ offset - i.e., make the clock run exactly 10 minutes slow or
15 minutes fast.)
Oh, and something outta the box... I'm, uh, not a Java programmer. :P
Ad(thanks)vance.

java-programmer, Newbies doubts on Java
Hi All:
I am mainly a C++ programmer. Recently, I need to do cross platform
development work and Java came across my mind. My worries are as
follows:
1. Is Java suitable as a language to develop software application in
an operational environment? My company needs to run application 24hrs
a day and 7 days a week (ie. non stop). I have heard that Java is
slower than C++ and Java has a larger memory footprint as compared to
C++. Are these true?
2. I have came across wonderfully written Java applications that works
smoothly. May I know is there any tips or tricks whereby one can
follow to streamline a Java program, such as conforming to certain
architecture or design principles etc.
Thank you for your time in answering these naive questions.

You do have to understand the garbage collector, it appears. If you're
perfectly happy to go back to the days of tuning config.sys then you should
be happy with tweaking the garbage collection.

Yes, in the same way a C++ application can do the job. There are
sometimes bug in C++ compilers and libraries, and there are sometimes
bugs in the Java compiler, VM (virtual machine) and API implementation.
In both languages you might not notice, or you might run into a
showstoper for your application.
> I have heard that
> Java is slower than C++
No. Benchmarks usually show that they are on pair by average, if a
recent Java implementation is used. Java applications typically have a
longer start up time, because the VM has to start, and the JIT (just-
in-time) compiler might also take some time. Once up and running,
things are usually the same.
> and Java has a larger memory footprint as
> compared to C++.
Well, the VM needs additional memory, and usually there are many object
instances involved in a Java application (some Java APIs tend to be
generous with objects). So yes, a Java application can need more memory
compared to a C++ application.
You also see a different memory allocation behavior, because the
garbage collector runs things behind the back of the application.

If you are a good programmer, you can do that, too. I sometimes have
the feeling that Java is a little bit less forgiving regarding a bad
application architecture than e.g. C++. This might be an illusion. On
the other hand, there are a lot of possible hacks one can do in C++ to
partly compensate for a bad architecture, while a lot of that stuff has
been taken away from Java (no void *, no unions, no preprocessor ...).
So if you mess it up in Java, you better fix the root-cause of the
problem instead of hoping that you can work around it.

I've done development commercially in C,C++ and Java. IMO Java is fine
for most applications. It does have a slower startup phase than a C++
app, performance might be down by say, 5-10% depending on the
application and memory usage will be higher - but by a constant one
one-off ammount (i.e. add 4MB or so to your application for JVM internals)

Yes and no. There is VM overhead, and the compliers are often a bit
weak, so that the out of the box code is slower. The just in time
compliers, on the other hand, often optimize surprisingly well.
Further, they work on the most critical sections of your code as it is
used, which makes it much faster in real world terms than indifferent
C++ code, and equally fast for good C++ code. (Note - the server VM has
a better JITC than the client, IME.)
Experts optimize for speed and space. C++ gives some great tools to do
that, which keeps the developer in control of their app. Java also has
good tools - I find the profilers better on the Java side, as well as
the testing tools. Good profilers and good tests improve code, often
better than design principles.
That said, an expert Java developer can often produce more functionality
in a given time, because the libraries and gc save so much effort. They
then can spend their time optimizing those things that need to work, and
thus they may end up with better code.
(This has been my experience, at least, and I have done both.
Windows/C++ for seven years, Java for six years.)

Profiling and designing for performance at the proper times are your
friends. For example, know your performance goals, and make sure you
test them from the first. Then, do not optimize until the code _works_.
(In other words, fast broken code is not worth the effort.)
Test everything that matters to your app. This allows you to dramatic
restructuring if your app needs it without risking terrible breakage and
an unfixable mess.
These last two principles are major parts of what I do professionally.
First test that it works, then test that it works quickly, then profile
to understand why it works the way it does.

The key thing to having a responsive GUI is to understand the threading
model of AWT/Swing and making sure you are doing things on your own thread
and not the AWT thread. This is not an issue with Windows programming for
instance because you are isolated from the GUI threads by a queue.
For instance see these articles:

Is this flame bait? How do you know that a particular Java
program is "wonderfully written"?
Pick your language; you can always find somebody who can write a
good program and somebody who can write a bad program in that
language. Depends on your definition of good and bad: fast, small
memory, low network burden, ???
Here are a few articles to consider if you think that Java
applications cannot compete with C++ applications:

2 tips... avoid threads like the plague.. the will eat memory. They have
their place, like if you need to run alot of processes in parallel. and
try QT. It is great for cross platform applications, and it is really easy
to use.
Basically, Java is great, I use it all the time, but i find it can be like
a large truck... powerful, but cumbersom if you don't know how to use it.
And, it has it's place. I think Sun needs to perform some changes to how
the VM functions, and make it much more efficient.

I have written an application that runs non-stop for months at a time. It
is an Internet application. Yes, Java is slower and uses more memory but
are these the only criteria? The cross-platform capability is what drove
this application to Java. It does the job and does it well.

- Icon designOn Fri, 23 Jul 2004 20:00:28 GMT, The Ghost In The Machine
<email***@***.com> wrote or quoted :

the small Firefox icon looks like a curled salamander.
Icon design is something I am battling on the current project I'm on.
I'm by far the oldest, and I like icons that are simple and
distinctive without a lot of fussy detail. I don't care if they are
abstract. I can learn what they mean with the hoverhelp and use even
peripheral vision to find them. The others are young. They like "cool"
icons that are highly representational. Yet to me, the icons all look
like complicated little miniature paintings. You can't tell what they
mean without squinting at them. I keep hitting the wrong one. The
product is aimed at grandmothers, but I think the others imagine
grandmothers are doddering and need the more literal icons rather than
having poor eyesight.
I would really like it if icons were configurable in all programs so
that if the authors make icons that all look alike to me, e.g. Funduc
Search/replace, I could fix them. The Opera people seem to have that
down to a science. I wish other companies would follow suit.

- cocoon : execute generated JSPHi folks,
I'm using cocoon-2.1.7 with Tomcat-5.5.9 on MacOS X
I created an XSP page that uses a logicsheet I wrote to generate JSP. I
need to get this JSP executed, but so far all I've been able to do is
have the JSP code outputed in the HTML doc.
My pipeline looks like this :
<map:match pattern="*.view">
<map:generate src="{1}.xsp" type="serverpages"/>
<map:serialize/>
</map:match>
After generating from my xsp source, I have a JSP doc ... how do I get
it executed before I serialize to HTML ? There are plenty of examples
when you generate with a JSP as a source doc, but not when I end up
with JSP in the pipeline.
[I trying to use java beans from within XSP. Since there's no
equivalent to <jsp:useBean> in xsp, I wrote a logicsheet that generates
and outputs the JSP tags I need.]
many thanks,
galpi

- HTTP/1.1 persistent connections
(Sorry, can't post any complete example code for this at the minute
which is really annoying, I know.)
AFAIK, when java is using HttpURLConnections with HTTP/1.1 (as it is in
my situation), repeated connections to the same host will re-use an
existing established HTTP connection. This appears to be the case for
normal HTTP URLS - I'm doing something like this:
URL url = new URL("http://guff.here.etc/");
HttpURLConnection urlConn = url.openConnection();
urlConn.setDoInput(true);
urlConn.setDoOutput(true);
osw = new OutputStreamWriter(httpURLConn.getOutputStream());
bw = new BufferedWriter(osw);
.. etc..
while I'm do this repeatedly in java, I can see by running 'netstat -a'
(windows 2000 machine) that there is indeed only one connection being used:
$ netstat -a | grep 199
TCP localhost:2282 remote.host.name:80 ESTABLISHED
$
..despite the fact that I'm doing many GETs from this URL. this is
desirable, only having one connection, as it uses less resources
(connector threads) in tomcat.
Now, if I have an https (SSL) link: (connecting to tomcat running an SSL
connector on port 19929)
URL url = new URL("https://guff.here.etc:19929/");
HttpURLConnection urlConn = url.openConnection();
// call setDefaultSSLSocketFactory(...) here...
// set the HostVerifier here...
urlConn.setDoInput(true);
urlConn.setDoOutput(true);
osw = new OutputStreamWriter(httpURLConn.getOutputStream());
bw = new BufferedWriter(osw);
...etc.
... it works, but each GET is spawning a new connection, and a new
connector thread on tomcat.
e.g. netstat gives me the following:
$ netstat -a | grep 199
TCP localhost:2049 remote.host.name:19929 ESTABLISHED
TCP localhost:2051 remote.host.name:19929 ESTABLISHED
TCP localhost:knetd remote.host.name:19929 ESTABLISHED
TCP localhost:2055 remote.host.name:19929 ESTABLISHED
TCP localhost:2057 remote.host.name:19929 ESTABLISHED
TCP localhost:2059 remote.host.name:19929 ESTABLISHED
TCP localhost:2061 remote.host.name:19929 ESTABLISHED
..[snipped many more lines like this!]....
Because the link isn't persistent like HTTP, tomcat soon runs out of
threads as it is using a thread for each connection, and I start getting
refused requests as a result of this.
I searched around in the usual places, and found someone with the same
problem, and it turned out the cause in his case was that he wasn't
calling close() on his OutputStreamWriter that was being used to feed
his query into his GET. I am calling close() here, however, so that's
not the problem...
Just on the offchance that someone is familiar with this problem!
thanks,
alex

- Problem setting Policy using Policy.setPolicyHi,
I'm trying to create my own Policy class and then set the policy to it
using Policy.setPolicy. Doing this doesn't seem to set the policy
correctly. However, if I call setPolicy twice instead of once it seems
to work correctly.
My test consists of trying to create a policy that will only allow
writing to a subdirectory and not to its parent directory. If I only
call setPolicy once, I can write to both the subdirectory and to the
parent directory. If I call setPolicy twice, then writing to the
parent directory causes a SecurityException as it should. The code
that I'm using is included below.
Is there something that I'm doing incorrectly?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Aaron

- graphical calendar viewHello,
It seems that the standard Java library doesn't include a graphical
calendar component so I was wondering if anyone happens to know of a
free one, preferably one that is big enough that would allow text to be
readable on the individual days (to list daily tasks, etc.)?
If there isn't one, any ideas on how I'd go about creating my own based
on the info from the existing java.util.Calendar object? I assume I
would probably need to have a JTable created at the least. Any
suggestions on doing that are appreciated.
thanks
Brandon
