    Can't you just add a (custom) annotation, e.g. "@JavaBean", and use
    apt to generate the getters/setters? (Or possibly the newer
    javax.annotation* stuff?) You could add options to such an
    annotation e.g., read-only.
    Then add the one extra line in your ant script to build code.
    
    Note JavaEE defines many such annotations, including for an
    MX Bean. Adding a standard annotation "@JavaBean" doesn't seem
    like it would be that much effort, for a large convenience payoff.
    
    <waffle>
    Like Lew I use an IDE that does that for me. Still, I don't like
    dependencies on particular tools that provide special features, if
    the language could easily support them with little effort.
    
    OTOH as others have pointed out in previous threads, the JavaBean
    spec is rarely used, so maybe adding more standard annotations
    isn't worth it.
    
    If the OP thinks it should be used, create or modify a JSR for this
    feature; if enough others agree it will be added.
    </waffle>

  - Running a servlet with TomcatHi,
    
    When I use the following URL in Internet Explorer:

  - The simplest way to show a large output string?Hi,
    What I want to do is quite simple: I want to show a large output String.
    The user then will press "OK"; then the output window disappears, and
    the program continues.
    
    The following code would be ok for me, but the real String I want to
    show is very long (let's say 1000 characters and 100 lines), so I need
    scrollbars...
    
    Could you please tell me the simplest way to achieve this? Thanks in
    advance for your help.

  - An efficient computation idea. Please commentHi,
    
    In my program I evaluate long trigonometric polynomials a lot! For example,
    
    final int N = 1000;
    double[] c = new double[N];
    // Populate c
    double x = .5, sum = 0.0;
    
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
    sum += c[i]*cos(i*x);
    
    And this function is evaluated very many times (about 100,000). So why not
    create a java snippet, compile it, load it as a class and use the compiled
    version. So I would have something like;
    
    String sum = "0"; // A String buffer, of course...
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
    sum += "+" + c[i] + "*cos(" + i + "*x)";
    sum += ";";
    
    I think it's a pretty cool idea. But before I implement it, I would like to
    know what you think about it!
    
    Thank you in advance!

    Change the path setting so it reads:
    
    PATH=C:\Program File\java\Jdk1.5.0_09\bin;C:\oracle;...
    
    The OS looks for commands on the PATH from left to right, so starting
    with java, then oracle, and so on.
    
    Besides this. The classpath setting isn't really needed. This is a
    general note which might bring in problems later. If you don't have a
    real need for it, simply remove the classpath setting. You can still
    pass it to the java command using the "-classpath" switch.

  - Problem in configuring SSL in Tomcat5.5Hi,
    
    I have Tomcat5.5 and J2sdk5 installed on my system. I wanted turn on
    SSL services in tomcat. I went through the Tomcat Documentation and
    did it exactly. I modified server.xml as below,
    
    
    
    <Connector port="8443" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
    maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25"
    maxSpareThreads="75"
    enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true"
    acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true"
    clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" />
    
    I also created certificate using keytool with default password as
    "changeit" and alias as "tomcat".
    
    I restarted the tomcat services too, and then tried to access the page
    but i am not able to access it using https connection. Where as i am
    able to access same page using Http connection.
    
    Secondly, I am not able to access default tomcat Page too using Https
    connection. Everything works fine in case of HTTP connection.
    
    Following is the way iam trying to acces the page,

  - UK Postcodes anyone know of a service ?Hi
    
    My latest web application provides a search facility.
    
    You sign up as a member and get a free entry in a searchable database.
    
    I would like to offer a postcode search so that if someone is looking for a
    particular service they can enter a postcode and return results within a number
    of miles of the input postcode(s). I have seen this sort of search on a number
    of sites to date and I was wondering if anyone knows of a web service or other
    online service that will accept a post code (and some other params of course)
    and return a list of postcodes within a parameters distance.
    
    Once I have the list I can search my own database for results.
    
    The service must be available over the network, I'm not intetested in static
    databases that I have to install on the server (well I might be if they were
    FREE :-).
    
    Has anyone implemented such a thing ?
    
    Does anyone know of such a service ?
    
    Has this got anything to do with the group ? well I suppose not other than I
    write in Java.
    
    Cheers
    anyway

  - Getting JAVA_HOME at runtimeHello,
    
    The Java ports infrastructure provides JAVA_HOME on build-time to
    port's Makefile. But is it possible to get this variable from
    /usr/local/bin/java at runtime?
    
    How to change the Java version for a port at runtime in the rc
    script? It is possible to set the preferred JDK in
    /usr/local/etc/javavms but then JAVA_HOME still needs to be
    set manually.
    
    I would like to avoid hard-coding the JAVA_HOME at build time in
    the rc scripts.
    
    Any idea?

  - CVS checkout doesn't work in Eclipse v3.0.1Hi,
    Since the CVS functionality of NetBeans doesn't appear to work for
    me, I'm trying Eclipse. However, the CVS functionality of Eclipse
    doesn't appear to work either. When I try to do a CVS checkout in
    Eclipse, a "project" does get created in my workspace, but the
    contents of the CVS modules aren't actually in the project. Now, the
    contents of the module are only directories to this point, because I
    was looking to work on the module with Eclipse. Should this be a
    problem? Should I add a least one file to the project before Eclipse
    will properly checkout the module with all its subdirectories?
    
    Thanks,

    You should simply use UrlClassLoader and have the system classpath not
    include your code that needs to be reloaded, and the URLClassLoader
    have the path that DOES need to be reloaded (creating a new instance
    of that class loader every time you need to reload the class)
    
    That way, Result will be properly loaded by the System class loader,
    and your reloadable class wont.
    
    Hoep this helps,
    Daniel.

java-programmer, Multiple installs of JDK When you do a silent install of the JRE you have the option to pass
PRIVATE=1, resulting in an install which doesn't check the registry
for a prior installation, and doesn't update the registry. You can
therefore have more than one install of the same JRE.

I need to find a similar capability for the JDK, but can't seem to. We
get rc=1603 on the second JDK install.
How can this be done...?

JDK >= 1.5.

  - Tomcat on Windows: JAVA_HOME & -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches'Apologies for posting this here, but I couldn't find any Tomcat user
    forum.
    
    A colleague is currently trying to run Tomcat 4.1.30 on Windows 2000
    Professional. She first installed JRE2 1.4.2_08, and set %JAVA_HOME%
    to the directory C:\j2re1.4.2_08 - I've run "java -version" and it
    works fine.
    (%JAVA_HOME%/home is in the path correctly).
    
    She then installed Tomcat to C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.30.
    
    However, when she runs catalina.sh start, she gets the following
    error:
    
    The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly
    This environment variable is needed to run this program
    Using CATALINA_BASE: C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.30
    Using CATALINA_HOME: C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.30
    Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.30\temp
    Using JAVA_HOME: C:\j2re1.4.2_08
    '-Dsun.io.useCanonCaches' is not recognized as an internal or external
    command,
    operable program or batch file.
    
    I've even tried adding the following to catalina.bat without success:
    
    if not "%JAVA_HOME%" == "" goto gotJavaHome
    set JAVA_HOME=C:\j2re1.4.2_08
    :gotJavaHome
    
    Can anyone see where we might be going wrong?

  - J2ME internationalizationI want to provide the binary with *only one* language, because I want to
    be as small as I can.
    
    But I want to provide many binaries (one per language).

    I write a file like:
    -----english.ini----
    $_nearest_dist_$=Nearest distance is 90m

    and I write a php script which in *.java files, replaces all strings in
    form "$_*_$" with language correct string.
    php phpWriteStringsToSource.php <project_folder> <language.ini>
    
    THE BIG PROBLEM: I realize that *.java files must have ansi* encoding!

    see Question no 5.
    
    How do i implement this interface ?
    
    (1) problem is, it has an abstract method and hecne its complicated
    to implement this class.
    
    (2) another problem is, it is the public interface and hence we can not
    make one more public class in the same file....because 1 file can have
    only 1 public access specifier.
    
    is it really possible to implement this interface ?

  - Running server-side Java on FreeBSD in production environments
    So, I've seen a few mentions here of folks using Java server apps on
    FreeBSD in production. I've been very happy to watch the progress by the
    Java team on the native JDKs from the sidelines, as well as the
    improvements to libc_r and such that have been MFC'd, but I'm curious as
    to whether the consensus on this list is that it's ready to be used for
    production. Anyone want to share good success or horror stories? We're
    trying to determine whether the apache.org box can start to run our own
    software. :) Speed is definitely less important than proper functioning.

  - Initialize managed bean with header information?We use Netegrity's SiteMinder for SSO security on all web apps.
    Although SiteMinder handles security for accessing the application
    itself, restrictions to certain functions and data are handled within
    the application based on user type.
    The user information (such as name, type, etc.) are passed in from
    SiteMinder via header variables. ie:
    hddr_user = Joe Blo
    hddr_group = Admin
    hddr_phone = 555-555-5555
    
    I'm looking at different designs to capture all of this user
    information from the headers at one time and store as a bean in the
    user's session (so as to not need to continually reference the header
    information).
    
    Does anyone know if you can create a managed bean (ie. User) that is
    initialized with header information (by using the configuration file
    w/ value-binding expressions)?

    grudge against me and were trying to. cause trouble for me.
    
    The suggestion is that Freeman might have shown the letter. to other people,
    and things could. have snowballed from there. Right from the start the real
    source (security services presumed). didn't announce themselves as the
    origin,. but let the "talkers", the radio DJs, believe that they were the
    originators. Think about it; if you. announce, "we're MI5 and we have a
    campaign against this bloke" then people might not go along. with it; but if
    you say, "everyone else. is getting at this bloke because he 'deserves' it"
    then people. will join in with fewer qualms.
    
    >Why. would "they" wish to assassinate your character?
    
    It's the classic case of hitting a cripple to prove you're. stronger. Why
    would the security services expend hundreds of. thousands of pounds and more
    than six years of manpower to try to kill a British citizen? Because. they
    are motivated by people who knew me at. university and feel personal
    animosity; because they knew me to be emotionally weak, and it is. in the
    nature of bullies to prey on those known. to be weak; and because they can
    rely on the complicity of the establishment, which the. security services
    manipulate and derive funding from. This is. England's biggest humiliation
    today,. and the British security services are intent on preventing their
    humiliation becoming reality by. continuing their campaign of attempted
    murder to suppress the. truth from becoming public.

  - TableCellRender puzzleBelow is a fairly simple TableCellRenderer for displaying an enum as
    an Icon. That works fine. But I added a wrinkle, changing the
    background colour depending on whether the row is selected.
    
    No background colour changes happen, even though isSelected is true
    when it should be. I wonder if I am missing something obvious.
    
    package com.mindprod.vercheck;
    
    import javax.swing.*;
    import javax.swing.table.TableCellRenderer;
    import java.awt.*;
    
    /**
    * render a the AppSate enum cell, use icon without text.
    */
    final class AppStateRenderer implements TableCellRenderer
    {
    // ------------------------------ FIELDS
    ------------------------------
    
    private static final JLabel template = new JLabel( "",
    JLabel.CENTER );
    
    private Color background;
    
    private Color selectedBackground;
    
    // -------------------------- PUBLIC INSTANCE METHODS
    --------------------------
    /**
    * constructor
    *
    * @param background background colour
    * @param selectedBackground background colour when seleced
    */
    public AppStateRenderer( Color background, Color
    selectedBackground )
    {
    this.background = background;
    this.selectedBackground = selectedBackground;
    }
    
    public Component getTableCellRendererComponent( JTable table,
    Object value,
    boolean
    isSelected,
    boolean hasFocus,
    int row,
    int column )
    {
    System.err.println( "selected:" + isSelected + " " + row + " "
    + table.getSelectedRow() );
    
    template.setIcon( ( (AppState) value ).getIcon() );
    template.setBackground( isSelected? selectedBackground :
    background );
    
    return template;
    }
    }

  - passing RequestPath to error page from web.xmlHi,
    
    I have pointed any errors to Error.jsp in my web.xml file (as shown).
    
    <error-page>
    
    <error-code>500</error-code>
    
    <location>/Error.jsp?id=500</location>
    
    </error-page>
    
    As you can see I also pass the type of error, is there any way I can
    pass the RequestPath that resulted in the error in the first place?
    
    Cheers,

  - LookAndFeelHi,
    
    I have a couple of issues I'm trying to resolve. Hopefully someone will have
    some ideas.
    
    First, I've been unsucessful trying to get the MotifLookAndFeel working.
    I've following every example I have (on paper) and nothing seems to work.
    I've run the app on both the PC and Linux box; the window looks and feel
    shows up on the PC and metal on the linux machine. Anyone know what's going
    on or what could be missing?
    
    Second, the app I've been working has a bunch of ToggleButtons and the color
    of the button changes based on selection. All I do is set the background
    color in the button press callback. Okay, fine. But when I run the code in
    linux, I'm unable to change the color of the "select" mode of the Toggle
    button. It always gray. Again. Does anyone know what's going on? From all my
    years, this should be extremely simple. Why would it work correctly on the
    PC and not in unix?
    
    Thanks in advance.

  - Help to understand 'array of classes' exampleHi,
    
    I'm trying to create/use an array of classes, and I found the following
    code snippet using Google Groups:
    
    ...
    rectangle[ ] array_name = new rectangle[ 100 ]; // or whatever
    size
    for ( int n = 0; n < 100; ++n )
    {
    array_name[ n ] = new rectangle( );
    }
    ...
    int i = 99;
    int wide = array_name[i].getwidth( );
    ...
    
    The above snippet was from:
    
    http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.java.programmer/msg/1ea4bbde51104914
    
    What I'm trying to understand in the above snippet is the line where the
    array is initialized:
    
    rectangle[ ] array_name = new rectangle[ 100 ]; // or whatever size
    
    Before I found that post, I was trying something like:
    
    rectangle [] arrayName; // declear an array of 'rectangle classes'
    .
    .
    rectangle[0] = new rectangle(); // instantiate rectangle/populate array
    rectangle[1] = new rectangle(); // instantiate rectangle/populate array
    
    I did it that way because I don't know the number of classes that I'll
    want to have in the array of classes ahead of time.
    
    The code per the snippet from the cited posts works, but my original
    code would get a NullPointerException, and I don't understand why.
    
    Can someone explain this?
    
    Also, is it possible to do this in a way that I don't have to allocate a
    fixed size array?
    
    Thanks,
    Jim

    OK, I had never done this before -- built a package from a port. So
    I did this on the base machine and then copied it into the jail and
    did a pkg_add like so
    
    # pkg_add -P /usr/public -v jdk-1.5.0p4_1.tbz
    
    as I wanted it installed in my local policy dir /usr/public (which
    gets mounted RO in every jail). My 1.4.2 java on my other jail
    server is installed like this (but was built inside the jail many
    moons ago).
    
    Now, when I try to run java I get
    
    # java -version
    Error: could not find libjava.so
    Error: could not find Java 2 Runtime Environment.
    #
    
    Java is in /usr/public/jdk1.5.0/ (the same as my 1.4.2 on the other
    server which is in /usr/public/jdk1.4.2/). libjava.so is inside the
    lib dir and I thought that java was referential to itself so it could
    find its libraries.
    
    I also tried setting JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME though I have not had to
    do that in a long time.
    
    The new 1.5 jdk is registered in the javavms file .
    
    When I run the javavm script with /bin/sh -x it does run the correct
    java and running it with an explicit path does not help.
