  - question about keeping the GUI and logic separateHello,
    
    I have a question about keeping logic/processing code off of the GUI.
    In a couple of other languages I'm familiar with, there is usually a
    method called FindComponent which will iterate through a form and get
    the component matching the name in the argument.
    
    For example, in VS.NET lets say I have a grid (table) on a form, the
    form represents one class. I then put the code for getting and
    processing data in another class. After any processing occurs (and
    the results are placed in a dataset), I need to bind the dataset to
    the grid. But the grid doesn't have knowledge of where the dataset
    came from... so how does the data get shoveled in there?
    
    In the data processing class, there's a local variable of grid type
    and it's gets bound to the grid in the form, like so (sorry about the
    VB):
    
    Class SomeClass
    Sub doSomething(ByVal c As Component)
    
    Dim localGridView as GridView
    Dim localDataSet as DataSet
    
    ' MyGrid lives on Form1
    localGridView = c.FindComponent("MyGrid")
    
    localGridView.DataSource = localDataSet
    
    ' So even though the GUI hasn't a clue as to what is going on, the
    current data is now displayed to the user.
    localGridView.DataBind()
    
    End Sub
    End Class
    
    Does Java have an equivalent of FindComponent, or a something similar
    to the code snip above?
    
    I'm using Java 6 here. I did try looking at c.getComponent() but
    there's only one valid index... 0 and it represents the
    javax.swing.JRootPane. Anything after 0 throws an index out of bounds
    error. There are 3 JButtons and 1 JList on the panel. I want to add
    some strings to the JList...
    
    public class MyGUI() extends JFrame
    {
    GUIUtils u = new GUIUtils();
    
    public MyGUI()
    {
    //
    // snip
    //
    
    myButton.addActionListener (new ActionListener()
    {
    public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e)
    {
    try
    {
    u.doSomething(MyGUI.this);
    }
    catch (IOException ioe)
    {
    ioe.printStackTrace();
    }
    }
    });
    }
    
    and...
    
    public class GUIUtils
    {
    public void doSometing(Container c) throws IOException
    {
    listModel = new DefaultListModel();
    
    listModel.addElement(value);
    
    // I want to put the listmodel in the JList now but how do I get
    this code to know about the JList in MyGUI?
    }
    }
    
    Suggestions are greatly appreciated.
    
    Thanks!

    Urgh. Now this:
    
    double farthing = 1d / 4 ;
    
    is at least numismatically accurate, but won't compile after 1960!

  - Ideas, Making a graphical grid look like ISO viewHi, hope my question is not too abstract.
    
    I'm drawing a square grid and I have mouse events that return
    coordinates of that grid. Now I'd like to make that grid look like an
    iso view. Illusion of 3D, seen from an oblique angle, as is typical in
    conquest and exploration games.
    
    Affine transform shear takes me close, but I think it's not going to get
    me all the way. I think the problem is, I don't really want the
    vertical lines to stay parallel, because that makes it look like the
    "far end" is fatter, instead of converging to some vanishing point (The
    squares in the grid should end up being trapezoidal, I think).
    
    So two problems, 1., how to draw my grid in rectangular coords but have
    it look like an iso view, and 2., how to translate the Point from the
    mouse event, into the coordinates of my grid.
    
    If Affine transform is still the way to go, I can keep studying it.
    Right now I'm thinking I may actually need to work out the geometry of
    the iso view, draw it explicitly, and then find the mouse coordinates by
    iterating through the boundaries of my graph. This is nasty, since
    AffineTransforms would make it so easy.
    
    Maybe there's a better way I'm not thinking of, such as, instead of
    bounding my grid by "lines", construct it from "shapes", and then I
    could add a listener to each shape, or something like that. That sounds
    treacherous too.

  - servlet calling servlet stopped by securityI have two servlets in the same tomcat webapp (A and B) both normally
    accessed from the web. Sometimes A needs to access B and I use http to
    do that. Actually 'B' is about a dozen other servlets, still all in
    the same webapp.
    
    This works just fine until I turn on security constraints. When I do
    that and request A the login form works as normal and invokes A
    correctly. But when A needs to invoke B I get another logon form
    instead of B. This would be okay, I can hack through that, but I only
    know the user name, not the password for A's session.
    
    Is there a simpler way to have one servlet in the same webapp invoke
    another without having to go through security? I cannot just do java
    to java, there are too many entry points (ie cases of 'B') They are
    all volatile and need to be exposed to the web.
    
    Thanks for your help

  - a unusual codesthe codes:
    -------------------
    Object[] stuff = new Object[5];
    stuff[0] = "eggs";
    stuff[1] = new StringBuffer( "flour" );
    stuff[2] = 3.56;
    stuff[3] = 'c';
    stuff[4] = 123;
    stuff[0]="33";
    for( int i=0; i<stuff.length; i++ ) {
    System.out.println( stuff[i] );
    }
    ------------------
    It seems odd.....
    
    followings is what I guest. please tell me whether it's correct, thank
    you very much
    
    1:
    what I think is because that the Object Class is any class's
    superClass, so it can point to any type (right?), but in these codes it
    only have Object Class's interface, not the interface which it point
    to.
    is it right?
    
    2:
    stuff[0]="eggs"
    
    in this sentence,the JVM create a String object(right?), although it's
    a String object and of course it has all the String object's
    interface, but what the reference(stuff[0]) can access is only the
    Object Class's interface.not the String interfaces(just like
    concat(),charAt()....)
    is it right?
    
    3:
    stuff[0]="eggs"
    System.out.println( stuff[0] );
    
    and when print it,the print function call stuff[0]'s toString()
    function,and this toString() is the String object's , not the Object
    Class's
    is it right?
    
    thank you very much

  - Looping over arrays.Isn't it a waste of resources to loop over arrays this way:
    
    for (i = 0; i < myArray.length; i ++) {
    // do something
    }
    
    ... as opposed to create a variable to hold the value of
    myArray.length first, like so:
    
    int len = myArray.length;
    for (i = 0; i < len; i ++) {
    // do something
    }
    
    This way the length of the array doesn't have to be recalculated on
    every iteration? Or am I completely wrong?
    
    TIA,

  - Integrating servlet container into my stand alone AppHello Everyone,
    
    I had this idea for an application I would like to write. I want
    to write it as a java application, but be able to output
    program-generated .html into an Internet Explorer window. Sending the
    generated html to the IE window is easy... just using the Runtime
    class. But I want the Internet Explorer window to be able to make http
    calls back to my application for form submissions. I didn't want to
    have to force my users to install Tomcat just so the internet explorer
    could pass back information to the servlet in my .Jar file.
    
    How hard is it to add a servlet container and respond to http post's
    from the localhost internet explorer window? This is all from my .jar
    file and not from a web application running under tomcat remember. The
    only http requests coming into my application will be from that one
    internet explorer window... so its really acting like a
    single-user-local-machine Tomcat server. But I dont want the burden of
    forcing Tomcat on people.
    
    I suppose you'll say pick a standard application or a jsp/servlet
    solution, but not both.... but I think there is a lot of flexability
    to this method, being able to generate GUI screens on the fly in the
    IE window is really exciting.
    
    Thanks,

  - can't create BufferedImageI am trying to create a BifferedImage and Graphics2D associated with a
    JPanel. I understand that the JPanel must be displayable else the
    createImage method may return null. However in my stub program below I
    always get null returned from createGraphics. I obviously am missing
    something but I can't figure out what. If the program below is run
    without a runline parameter it does not attempt to create a
    BufferedImage and it runs OK. If it is run with a runline parameter it
    throws an exception because bh is null. Why?

  - Making hand Hand Held Devices Easier to UseMy partner comes to me every once in a while utterly flummoxed by some
    hand held device for example a cell phone, a wall phone, a stereo, an
    alarm clock (no kidding -- this beast is quite an intimidating device
    it has over 20 buttons), and lately a digital tape recorder.
    
    The problem is these devices have ten thousand features. All she
    wanted to do was place a cell phone call or record a telephone
    interview. The other features just got in the way.
    
    There are two problems:
    
    1. The other features distract from the basics. There are two many
    buttons and too many menu items.
    
    2. The devices have modal traps. Even if you know how to do the
    simple operations, it is easy to hit the wrong button, get off in the
    weeds and not know how to navigate the device back to a familiar
    state.
    
    Imagine a cellphone I could hand to my 4 year old grandson and say
    "hit 7 to call me, hit 8 to call your mother, hit the red button for
    an emergency" Nothing else the child could do would hurt or confuse
    the phone.
    
    Imagine I cellphone I could give to my mother. I say "When you want
    to call make a call, hit the call button, use the up down arrows to
    select a person from your friends list. If you get to the bottom and
    it still not there, choose new person, and they will automatically be
    added to the end of your list, but will drop off automatically
    eventually if you don't call them.
    
    Imagine a digital tape recorder I could give to a child. I restrict it
    so that there are only buttons, record, play, fast forward, rewind.
    you can't overwrite anything recorded. There is no erase button.
    
    Imagine a PDA that starts allowing only the simplest functions.
    Everything else is hidden. Once you have used and apparently mastered
    those functions it offers to teach you yet another function. You can
    decline or ask to lean something else. It never reveals too much of
    its functionality at a time. It remembers the learning state of
    several users.
    
    A few other ideas for hand helds:
    
    1. AC power outlets should have a DC jack built into the wall plate
    using some new style plug that delivers a variety of voltages. The
    tips of the prongs would receive 12, the base 1.5 with perhaps bands
    for 9, 6, 3 in between. The plug on the device would normally only
    tap just one voltage, but it would be free to tap all 5. There would
    be no matching problem. One plug fits all. It would relieve the
    clutter of ac adapters in the typical home office.
    
    2. could it be possible to have a universal charging stand so that you
    can wall mount it and put any device in it for a recharging by
    induction. Another feature of the charging stand is it would also
    tell and device in it the latest accurate atomic time. You could then
    create a "wand" you recharge with the correct time then wave at the
    microwave or any other non-portable device to update its clock.
    
    3. Could every product be given a UPC number or equivalent so that you
    can find an online manual for any device without fuss. Software too
    should get such numbers so you can automatically track the latest
    version, the replacement or the author. Software then could keep
    track of your possessions (software and otherwise) and periodically
    poll for a recall message, an important update etc.

  - reason for sporadic long full GC pause times?!?....Hello folks,
    
    in our java business application our customer realize sporadic very
    long pauses caused by full gc's.
    Normaly the app runs smoothly with acceptable gc- and
    full-gc-pausetimes. (gc=0.0xx sec / fullgc <=2 sec)
    
    But sometimes during 8 hour work the occurs full gc's with 90-150
    seconds (!)
    which our customer complains about - of course.
    
    In the first step I thought that our JVM-settings were wrong:
    -Xms450m -Xmx450m -XX:NewSize=32m -XX:MaxNewSize=32m
    -XX:SurvivorRatio=8 -classpath....
    --> long full gc pauses occured sporadicaly.
    
    I thought that the Newsize is too small -> wich implies the too big
    tenured space -> which could be the reason for too longs full gc's. I
    decided to use -NewRatio=4 Parameter.
    And I also lowered the max. Heap size to Xmx350m, because the gcviewer
    told me that the memory usage was only about 290 MB.
    
    With the new settings
    -Xms350m -Xmx350m -XX:NewRatio=4 -XX:SurvivorRatio=8 -classpath....
    our customer had the same experience that sometimes the full gc's
    pausetime took more than 100 sec's.
    Additionally we/they relaized that the full gc freed not enough memory
    so that the full gc frequency raised up to a point where no minor gc
    were done - only full gc's !
    
    Due to that I raised Xms and Xmx
    -Xms512m -Xmx512m -XX:NewRatio=4 -XX:SurvivorRatio=8 -classpath....
    which enables the JVM to free more memory at full gc (already tested),
    but I fear this will not help to solve the sporadic problem with the
    long full gc pause times at customer side.
    
    Does anybody have an idea what could be the reason for the
    extraordinary long full gc pause times?
    
    Info btw:
    customer PC's all have 1 GB RAM and the throughput of the application
    was in any case >= 99,8% !
    The problem with the long full gc pause times was never reproduced in
    our lab / dev.-deptmnt.
    
    Thanks in advance

You never said...

Did your original code call one of the applets methods from JavaScript?

...or was it something else?

I'm just curious to what was wrong...

  - J2ME, How to minimize a program ?Thank you so much for the information I didn't know.

  - JSP questionshave some questions about JavaServer Pages to ask
    
    1. I made several input fields for user to input the height, width and
    other stuff to create a table. how can I make the font in color red in
    first row and first column automaticly and font in other rows and
    columns remain the same color?
    
    2. I want to add a title inside the table that need to colspan the
    rest of the table. Becasue I don't know what # the user will input for
    columns, so I can't set it before user input. so plz help me on this.
    
    3. Randomly place an input field in one of the cells ?a different
    cell on each refresh. If the user enters the correct product there and
    changes the focus (by clicking outside the field), a Javascript
    provided by the jsp page checks the answer and makes appropriate alert
    
    My jsp file looks like this:
    
    <HTML>
    <head></head>
    <BODY>
    
    <%
    String s2 = request.getParameter("Bsize") ;
    s2 = s2.trim();

  - How to speed up the Portal development in eclipseHi all,
    
    I am new in portal development. I am used to Eclipse to write Java
    standalone application, but no server contained application such as
    servlet.
    
    Is there any way to setup a integrated development environment with
    JetSpeed in Eclipse to do portal environment?
    
    Please enlighten me.
    
    Thanks in advance for your inputs and ideas.

  - GridBagLayout and JMenuBar problemsHere's another interesting one. I looked on the Bug Parade to see if
    this was present, but rapidly drowned in the sea of totally unrelated
    results I got back from the brain dead search capabilities.
    
    I built up a JPanel using GridBagLayout and various components. Works
    fine; I'm quite used to GridBagLayout and its quirks. I'm using the
    Java look and feel with native decorations turned off, so GridBagLayout
    respects my panel's minimum size constraints.
    
    I had been testing this layout in a JFrame without a JMenuBar, just to
    validate the layout. Now when I added a JMenuBar to the JFrame, the
    layout screws up when I resize the panel down to its smallest size.
    It's as though the GridBagLayout does not take the JMenuBar's dimensions
    into account when resizing happens. In my case, a couple of buttons
    shrink in height, a text field bizarrely grows to 1.5X height, and
    another text field overlaps it. None of these problems show up unless
    the menu bar is in place.
    
    Again: a known bug? Or should I submit it?
    
    If there's any interest I'll whittle my code down to a SSCCE. Then I'll
    try it with native window decorations turned on to see if that's where
    the problem lies.

  - Midlet TextBox-------------------
    TextBox tb = new TextBox("title", null, 5, TextField.DECIMAL);
    tb.addCommand(new Command("Ok", Command.BACK, 0));
    tb.setCommandListener(this);
    
    Display dis = Display.getDisplay(this);
    dis.setCurrent(tb);
    -------------------
    
    The code above shows (in my mobile Sony Ericsson K300i) a TextBox with 2
    Commands "Ok" and "Ok".
    
    If TextBox is empty of chars, first "Ok" is grayed but second not.
    
    I suspect that the first Command "Ok" is part of TextBox (Screen) and
    when I press it, it does nothing and commandAction method does not run.
    Only when I press the second Command "Ok" commandAction method runs.
    
    So, first "Ok" is "feature" of my mobile or it is in MIDP Specification?
    If the second, how can I get access to this Command?

    Uh no, because those leave control with the language. Most people who
    defend the goto so vehemently,are, with modern languages like Java,
    simply are using it to emulate something else available within the language.
    
    Let's see, in the last 10 years, I have written about 1,000,000 lines of
    C code, the number of actual goto's in there, none. During that time, I
    viewed probably 40,000,000 more lines, which contained maybe 20 gotos.
    Shows how little goto is actually needed. Of those 5, were code that
    was complex trying to do something simple, usually the reason I was
    looking at it, was because it wasn't working (poor design). Five more
    were instances where you had the jack-of-all-procedures, where the
    programmer had written a bunch of procedures in one block of code (again
    poor design). They used goto to make the thing work. The remaining
    ones, were places where the programmer had written themselves into a
    corner, and under pressure of getting the thing to work, used goto to
    bail out (again poor design).

  - jsp servlet code seperation confusionI posted this on the .help NG but I believe you folks could probably
    provide more of an accurate answer considering the help group is
    targeted towards true beginners.
    
    Okay, where I am employeed I have the options of programming with
    Microsoft Technologies and Java specifically J2EE. I have been
    investigating the task of learning Java for about the last 3 to 4
    months. I am a ASP.Net developer fulltime at work with C#. I was new to
    OOP when I started into .Net about a year ago and am getting better.
    However, our corporation uses Java as a National standard and I am
    looking to advance some day and need to learn Java. Furthermore, where I
    live, KY there are very few jobs for technologies other than .Net and
    Java. No PHP or ColdFusion.
    
    In the last couple of years this code seperation theory has overloaded
    the programming world. .Net does it with what's called code behind. In
    my research of Java the only things I see that reference code seperation
    is servlets (I am sure J2EE and EJB contribute also). However,
    everything I have read on servlets reference outputing HTML back to the
    browser via the HttpServletResponse and Request objects.
    
    My question, why in the world do they consider outputting HTML back to a
    browser via a servlet considered code seperation. Furthermore, it
    seems very time consuming and difficult to hand code complex layouts in
    HTML and incorporate/format it for a servlet.
    
    Can someone please explain or direct me to a resource where I can
    understand why using servlets at any point in an application would be
    better than jsp or even applets? Sometimes it's hard enough to design
    complex layouts with the assistance Dreamweaver for example.
    
    Thanks for any insight you can provide, I have read hundreds of pages of
    information concerning this and trying to compare it with the my current
    knowledge in the .Net world.

  - For loop not working from static methodI have a JSP that outputs 10 links and it works great but want to cut
    down on the scriptlet lines in my JSP.
    Now I want to put the for loop that outputs the 10 links into a source
    file and call the class in my JSP using just one line scriptlet.
    
    Here is what my current JSP looks like where it outputs the 10 links:
    
    <jsp:useBean id="pageinfo" class="storm.Pageinfo" scope="session" />
    .....
    <%
    if (pageinfo!=null)
    {
    for(int i=0;i < 10;i++)
    {
    out.println("<a href=moveto.jsp?inpage=" + i + ">" + i + "</
    a>");
    }
    }
    
    %>
    
    Now my attempt to put it in a class outputs only 1 link instead of 10.
    
    Source code for the Java class:
    
    package storm;
    import storm.*;
    
    public class PageUtil
    {
    public static String theMethod(Pageinfo pageinfo)
    {
    if (pageinfo!=null)
    {
    for(int i=0;i < 10;i++)
    {
    return "<a href=moveto.jsp?inpage=" + i + ">" + i +
    "</a>";
    }
    }
    return "";
    }
    }
    
    JSP scriptlet calling the static method:
    
    <%= PageUtil.theMethod(pageinfo) %>
    
    Please advise how I can get this to work. I am using Tomcat 4.1.27
    and dont have JSTL.

  - Grab common name from https://[ip]Hello,
    
    I checked around on here a bit, and was unable to find an answer to
    this one by searching for the error message. I'm hoping someone here
    can help me with this issue.
    
    I am attempting to gather the common name from an SSL certificate for a
    given IP address. Following is the code I am using thus far (two
    classes being used):
    
    IP_Justification.java:
    
    import java.net.*; //for https connection
    import java.io.*; //for input parsing
    import javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection;
    
    public class IP_Justification
    {
    private String IP; //IP address to search
    private String domain; //common name returned by viewing IP via
    https://ip
    
    //default constructor
    public IP_Justification()
    {
    throw new IllegalArgumentException("Please provide IP and domain");
    }
    
    //create with IP provided
    public IP_Justification(String ip)
    {
    IP = ip;
    domain = "";
    }
    
    public void getDomain() throws IOException
    {
    String urlToCheck = "https://" + IP;
    URL techURL = new URL(urlToCheck);
    System.out.println("URL created: " + techURL);
    
    HttpURLConnection techUrlConn =
    (HttpURLConnection)techURL.openConnection();
    System.out.println("HttpURLConnection created" + techUrlConn + "\n");
    techUrlConn.connect();
    }
    }
    
    IPJustMain.java
    import java.io.*;
    
    public class IPJustMain
    {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
    {
    
    IP_Justification testing;
    testing = new IP_Justification("64.233.167.99");
    testing.getDomain();
    try
    {
    
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
    System.out.println("Start of output - Exception block");
    System.out.println(e.getMessage());
    System.out.println("End of output - Exception block");
    }
    }
    }
    
    Following is the output received when running IPJustMain:
    
    URL created: https://64.233.167.99
    HttpURLConnection
    createdsun.net.www.protocol.https.DelegateHttpsURLConnection:h

    at IPJustMain.main(IPJustMain.java:15)
    Press any key to continue . . .
    
    I fully expect to have an exception thrown, and am hoping to be able to
    parse that for the information I require. The problem I am running
    into is the exception itself:
    
    Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: HTTPS hostname wrong:
    should be
    <64.233.167.99>
    
    It seems to be responding with the URL I pass to it, and not the common
    name for the SSL at the specified IP address.
    
    Anyone happen to know if there is a way around this or if my code is
    flawed in someway?
    
    Thanks for any help that can be provided!

  - Whatever happened to PvdL?My curiosity about Hotjava now sated, what of Peter van der Liden? I recall
    that he used to be pretty active on Usenet and quite a prolific author and
    Java advocate.
    
    As I recall he used to author the Java FAQ (which now 404's). I liked his
    writing style (dating to the ugly fish book) and the Just Java series. The
    6th edition came out in 2004 and no errata has published since January
    2005.
    
    Is Mr. van der Liden still active in the Java community? I realize he's no
    longer with Sun and without treading into personal matters, did he have a
    falling out with the people there? In spite of being published by Sun, his
    Java books did contain quite a few barbs about misfeatures in the language.

  - database connection pooling in tomcat 3.3.1Hi,
    I have a webapp which uses database connection pooling setup just like
    the tomcat how-to suggests. But, I can't seem to get it to work on
    tomcat 3.3.1. I couldn't even find any how-tos or guidances on it
    anywhere. Is it supported ?
    I get a javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: error when I set it up
    in the conf/app-myapps.xml like the 3.3.1 doco suggests.
    Appreciate any help on this.
