  - bypassing IISHi
    
    We have an architecture where users log in to their
    "windows" pcs using Microsoft Active Directory
    and requests are then sent as follows:
    
    client -> IIS -> Tomcat
    
    An isapi redirector resides at IIS which forwards the request to
    Tomcat.
    
    isapi redirect would appear to populate the HTTP header with
    the user's credentials.
    
    My question is: how can we avoid the overhead of IIS
    and send requests directly to Tomcat for authentication against the
    ldap server as before.
    
    (The issue I see is how to populate the HTTP header with the
    user details?)

  - How to stop output to stdoutHi,
    I am using RXTXcomm to communicate with the serial interface. My
    programs output this everytime the RXTXcomm library is loaded:
    
    Stable Library
    =========================================
    Native lib Version = RXTX-2.1-7
    Java lib Version = RXTX-2.1-7
    
    I don't like this output anytime the program runs. I tried to redirect
    System.out but it didn't work. Does anybody know how to put RXTXcomm
    into "silent mode"?
    
    Thanks, Juergen

  - Open Source Distributive Cache solutionHi,
    
    I am looking for an open source's distributive cache solution. One that
    can be used for a clustered weblogic servers environment, the cache has
    to be read and write, and the cache itself need to be fail-safe.
    
    Anyone has some recommandations?
    
    Thanks,

  - Server-side tools surveyI'm currently working with JBoss/Tomcat, PostgreSQL, NetBeans, Struts,
    XDoclet, Ant, JUnit, JUnitEE...and a few things I've probably forgotten
    to mention.
    
    What tools do *you* consider necessary for web application development?

  - XML Validation with JavaHi
    
    For several days I've been trying to validate a very simple XML-Document
    against an XML Schema - so far without success. I've tried several
    approaches, using libraries like Xerces, JAXP and an Oracle-library, but
    none of those worked the way for example XML Spy works.
    
    Here is my Schema:
    
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
    <xsd:element name="root"/>
    </xsd:schema>
    
    This is the (invalid) XML-File that references the schema: <?xml
    version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <root
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation='test.xsd'> <a></a> </root>
    This is my first try to validate the Document against the schema:
    
    try { DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
    parser.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation",true);
    parser.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema",true);
    parser.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema-full-che
    cking",true); parser.parse("C:\\test.xml"); }
    catch(Exception ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); }
    
    This runs without problems, however, it doesn't report a validation-error.
    
    My second try:
    
    try { SAXParserFactory parserFct =
    SAXParserFactory.newInstance(); parserFct.setValidating(true);
    parserFct.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation", true);
    parserFct.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema",
    true);
    parserFct.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema-full-
    checking",true); javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser parser =
    parserFct.newSAXParser(); parser.parse("C:\\test.xml", new
    MyHandlerBase()); } catch(Exception ex)
    { ex.printStackTrace(); }
    This is the Errorhandler I used:
    
    class MeinErrorHandler implements ErrorHandler{ boolean b = false;
    public void warning(SAXParseException e) throws SAXException {
    System.out.println("WARNUNG: " + e); b = true; } public void
    error(SAXParseException e) throws SAXException {
    System.out.println("FEHLER: " + e); b = true; } public void
    fatalError(SAXParseException e) throws SAXException {
    System.out.println("LEIDER, LEIDER, AUS: " + e); } public boolean
    warninghappened(){ return b; }}
    
    Again, no validation-error.
    
    My third try:
    
    InputSource is = null; DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
    Document doc = null; try {
    parser.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation",true);
    parser.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema",true);
    parser.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema-full-che
    cking",true);
    parser.setProperty("http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-noNames
    paceSchemaLocation", "C:\\test.xsd" ); is = new
    InputSource(new FileReader("C:\\test.xml"));
    parser.parse(is); } catch(Exception ex)
    { ex.printStackTrace(); }
    
    Again, no validation-error.
    
    My fourth try involved the oracle.xml.parser.schema and
    oracle.xml.parser.v2-packages.
    Here is the code:
    
    public void process(String xsdURI, String xmlURI) throws Exception
    {
    XSDBuilder builder = new XSDBuilder();
    URL url = createURL(xsdURI);
    // Build XML Schema Object
    XMLSchema schemadoc = (XMLSchema) builder.build(url);
    DOMParser dp = new DOMParser();
    url = createURL(xmlURI);
    // Set Schema Object for Validation
    dp.setXMLSchema(schemadoc);
    dp.setValidationMode(XMLParser.SCHEMA_VALIDATION);
    dp.setPreserveWhitespace(true);
    dp.setErrorStream(System.out);
    try
    {
    System.out.println("Parsing " + xmlURI);
    dp.parse(url);
    System.out.println("The input file <" + xmlURI + "> parsed
    without errors");
    }
    catch (XMLParseException pe)
    {
    System.out.println("Parser Exception: " + pe.getMessage());
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
    System.out.println("NonParserException: " + e.getMessage());
    }
    }
    
    This worked fine with the test.xml-Document, however, when I tried to
    validate a more complex document which used keys and key-references, it
    couldn't validate the Document although XML-Spy had no problem with it.
    
    Am I missing something here? Does anybody know those problems and has a
    solution for it, or perhaps a sample-code that works? Any help would be
    greatly appreciated.
    
    Thanks in advance

    Does it mean MS Access does not have a concept of a BD, since it is
    kind of a file base Data Store?
    
    There is also something I don't quite know how to interpret.
    
    When you ask the JdbcOdbc driver for Catalogs it gives you
    
    . . .\Office\Samples\ADDRBOOK
    . . .\Office\Samples\CONTACT
    . . .\Office\Samples\INVENTRY
    . . .\Office\Samples\Northwind
    
    even if you declare the a USer DSN only to
    
    . . .\Office\Samples\Northwind
    
    Experimentally I dropped a copy of
    
    . . .\Office\Samples\Northwind.mdb
    
    in
    
    . . .\IDS\File\examples
    
    and set up a system DSN to got IDSExamples.mdb
    
    However, while query the DBMS for catalogs, I got
    
    . . .\IDS\File\examples\IDSExamples
    . . .\IDS\File\examples\Northwind
    
    Does it mean Access considers the folder containing the '.mdb' file
    as sort of a 'schema'?
    
    How could u still create a Database using JDBC in a MSAccess DB?

  - SourceDataLine ProblemA while back I implemented sound using javax.sound.sampled into my Tandy
    Color Computer 2 applet.
    
    The Color Computer had a 6-bit DAC used to generate audio. I basically
    take the values written to the DAC and then feed them (although at a
    much higher rate) into a SourceDataLine.
    
    The problem is that the sound can crackle or break up depending on the
    program emulated. I can prevent this by either feeding the data to the
    SorceDataLine at a higher rate or by reducing the sample rate on the
    AudioFormat. Both of these methods fix the breakups but then the pitch
    drops enough that the sound is no longer accurately emulated.
    
    I just don't understand the workings of javax.sound.sampled well enough
    to figure out a workaround for this problem - it seems like it should be
    possible.
    
    Any ideas?

  - Basic java program structure; Was: Problems with multidimensional arrays and global variables<top posting seemed more appropriate for this post>.
    
    Being a Java newbie and having been struggling with the basic concepts of
    the structure of a java program (as well as "static") I would like to say
    that this is the best example I have seen so far of the basic form of a java
    program. Nice, simple and after reading it I think I finally understand
    what is going on. I have read far too many books and examples that seem to
    enjoy obfuscating the concept they are trying to explain with way too many
    extraneous details.

  - Mac version of IE tires to download sounds rather than playing them.
    
    I've done a web site which encorporates javascripted sound behaviors.
    
    On the PC version of Internet Explorer they do what they're supposed
    to do. That is, play the sound on both "mouse over" and "mouse up"
    events.
    
    On the Macintosh version of IE it triggers off an automatic download
    attempt. I have also seen this on some PC's running Netscape, but
    rarely.
    
    Opera doesn't even seem to do anything with the sound events on the
    Mac. The PC version of Opera seems to work correctly.
    
    So, my question: is there a way to code this using Dreamweaver or
    some other authoring program, so it can be controlled on these
    different combinations of browsers, and Computer Platforms?
    
    I've found this most frustrating.
    
    Thanks for any help you might give on this.

java-programmer, best approach for transaprent boxes
I'm hoping for some guidance on the best way to do the following, since I am fairly new to the Java language.
I am building an applet that uses a canvas to show a map (awt only - no swing). I want to display semi-transaparent boxes over the top of the map to show things like status, or have options, and the boxes should be able to process mouse events. The canvas is using a double-buffered strategy and uses Graphics2D.

My first thought was to simply design lightweight components - but they require a container, which the Canvas is not.
So then I thought I would extend the Canvas class to work with another completely custom "decorator" class that would be able to buffer the area of the canvas it covers for quick updating if it changes, and draw it's own info on top - but I just can't figure out how to grab a part of the rendered parent canvas to store offscreen and paint again later.

So my question is: Is the second method a good way to go about this, or is there a better "Java" way of doing this (I'm still probably thinking in a Delphi mindset)? And if the second way is ok, then how do I buffer just part of the parent canvas?

Phil.

    different JAR files?
    
    Here's the issue:
    
    BaseClass is in "BaseClasses.jar"
    ExtendedClassA extends BaseClass is in "AnotherPackage.jar"
    ExtendedClassB extends BaseClass is in "EvenAnotherPackage.jar"
    
    BaseClass has a static object (ObjectX). Now, normally, this static
    object is static across all of the subclasses. However...
    
    These JAR files (AnotherPackage and EvenAnotherPackage) are being read
    in by a separate tool. When ExtendedClassA and ExtendedClassB are
    used within the context of this tool, ObjectX is instantiated twice
    and has two separate values. As far as I can tell, the tool runs
    ExtendedClassA and ExtendedClassB within the same JVM, so I am unsure
    of what is going on.
    
    Does anybody have any insight into what is going on here? (Sorry for
    being vague. I'm not actually working the project, but I'm curious
    from an academic standpoint. Another group ran across this problem
    today.)

  - Using a JList with a cell renderer within an applet/cell renderer not workingI have a cell renderer for a JList that is supposed to render the foreground
    color in blue, and also insert tabs into the lines. When this code is
    changed to run as an application, the cell renderer performs as expected.
    When the code is run as an applet, the cell renderer has no impact at all.
    
    Any help would be appreciated.
    
    I am using SDK 1.4.0, Windows XP Professional.

  - JAX-RPC: Strange Exception with Dynamic Proxy ClientHello there
    
    I am using currently SUN's Webservice Development Kit 1.4 and try to
    realise a JAX-RPC "rpc/encoded" webservice.
    
    My applicatio is currently running if I am using a static client
    (stubs geenerated by wscompile). If am going forward to use a dynamic
    proxy client, I am getting a strange exception during the
    deserialization of the xml data on the client: "trailing block
    elements must have an id attribute". see stack trace at the end of the
    messsage.
    
    As far as I understand is that it must somewthing be with the
    "ArrayList" or arrays which I am using in my JavaBean which I sent
    from the server to the client. Here my extract from my JavaBean:
    
    public class Article
    {
    long id;
    Date date;
    String category;
    String title="";
    String lead="";
    List texts;
    }
    
    If I am taking out the member "List texts" then it will work
    correctly. The list contains only Strings. I tried also to use
    String[] array, but this didn't help either.
    
    So here, my questions perhaps someone has some ideas what I did wrong.
    
    - Why does it work with the stastic cleint but not with the dynamic
    proxy?
    - Does anybody know an example on the net where in JavaBeans Lists or
    Arrays has been used?
    - Anybody an idea why this error appears? Did I something wrong?
    
    Thank you in advance

  - JNDI Authenticate UserHi All,
    
    I have the below code which is supposed to return a true if the user is
    authenticated against active directory and false if the user is not.
    
    This works fine if you send it a correct username and correct password. It
    also works if you send it a correct username with an incorrect password. It
    also works if you send it an in-correct username with a password.
    
    My problem is that a few accounts in the directory don't have passwords set.
    I.e. password is blank. If I send any username without a password then it
    always returns true, even if that user has a password set or the user
    doesn't exist. Does anyone have any ideas why this is?
    
    <code>
    public boolean authenticateUser(String userName, String password){
    //Try to log in with the supplied username and password
    //If it fails then either the user doesn't exist or the wrong
    crudentials where supplied
    
    try{
    Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
    env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
    "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
    env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, ldapConnectionString);
    
    env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, "simple");
    env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, userName + "@" +
    ADName);
    env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, password);
    
    DirContext ctx = new InitialDirContext(env);
    
    return true;
    }catch(Exception ex){
    //Authentication failed
    return false;
    }
    }

  - Cannot draw on mutable imageHi,
    
    I got a problem with drawing on an image created with the
    createImage(int width, int height) method. I use MIDP 1.0 and
    everything works fine in the emulator. But when running it on my
    T-630, I just get a white image with the defined size. It doesn't
    matter what I draw on the Graphics-object, my phone just displays a
    white rectangle.
    The code should be ok, since it works in the emulator. I also used
    several examples from the internet - all with the same result.
    
    Any ideas what might be wrong?
    
    Thanks in advance

  - [ANNOUNCE] Apache Derby 10.4.1.3 releasedThe Apache Derby project is pleased to announce a new feature release
    of Derby, 10.4.1.3.
    
    Apache Derby is a subproject of the Apache DB project.
    Derby is a pure Java relational database engine which conforms to the
    ISO/ANSI SQL and JDBC standards. Derby aims to be easy for developers
    and end-users to work with.
    
    Derby 10.4.1.3 can be obtained from the Derby download site:
    
    http://db.apache.org/derby/derby_downloads.html.
    
    Derby 10.4.1.3 introduces the following new capabilities:
    
    * Asynchronous Replication
    Allows you to maintain an up to date copy of your (master) database on
    a different host (the slave). In the case of a crash on the master
    database you can perform failover to the copy (slave database) and
    continue serving client requests against your database.
    
    * Security
    o Shutting down the Network Server now supports user authentication,
    and in fact requires credentials when authentication is enabled.
    
    * SQL
    o Table Functions. Using table functions and standard SQL, you can pose
    sophisticated queries against in-memory collections, flat files, web
    resources, non-relational databases, etc.. Table functions also let
    you efficiently import data from web feeds, sensor logs, and other
    relational databases.
    
    o Unique constraints on nullable columns.
    
    o SQL ROW_NUMBER() window function, (for an empty, inlined window
    specification).
    
    o Bracketed comments (/* ... */).
    
    * Performance and Memory Usage
    o New buffer manager with better concurrency.
    
    o Statement cache in the client driver.
    
    o Caching of isolation level and current schema in the client
    driver.
    
    * Administration
    o Java Management Extensions (JMX) for Derby, allowing
    local and remote monitoring and management of running Derby instances
    (embedded or Network Server).
    
    o Continuation prompt. ij adds a short "> " prompt to the next line
    after a newline has been entered by the user without ending the
    statement with a semicolon.
    
    Derby 10.4.1.3 also has many bugfixes, including the fix for
    DERBY-3347 which can cause unrecoverable database corruption. All
    10.3 users are encouraged to upgrade to avoid potential corruption
    issues.
