  - Preparing a StringHello
    I am preparing xpath queries for xml parsing.
    
    To make each xpath query i have to add variables and join more Strings.
    I was wondering if there is any way i can create java string same as
    SqlPrepareStatement
    somthing like
    String p = "my name is ?"
    
    public void foo("joe"){
    //add name in string p so that
    //p = "my name is joe"
    }
    
    any help
    thanks

  - Java Window/GUI HelpOk im trying to create a program in java right now and my knowledge of
    it has proved somewhat .... limited.....
    
    Info:
    Im making a program using javaspaces to simulate an auction over the
    network.
    Requirements:
    1) user can add a lot to the auction
    2) browse current lots on sale
    3) users can withdraw their item from sale.
    
    OK now this has to be done as a GUI which is what is hindering me.
    The only type of GUI work i have done have been fairly static.
    Just a plain window with a few buttons and such which might bring up a
    picture or change some text in a text box or something.
    
    But what im having trouble with now is the whole GUI design and how to
    go about it.
    
    Say i had 3 butons in my window |Add| |Browse| |withdraw|.
    Clicking any of these should change the whole structure of the window
    and i dont know how to do this..
    Itd be a case of clearing half of the window off and redrawing over
    the top of it.
    Unless i went the route of having an extremely simple window with 3
    buttons, clicking each would open up a new window with the desired
    options...
    
    What would be the best way to go about it? and how would i go about
    implementing it? just a few tips are needed :)
    
    Im really not a windows fan... a console app would take an hour or so.
    This is gonna keep me going for aaaaaages :$
    
    I hope im making sense and not babbing too much - 36 hours without
    sleep and a huge abundance of caffeine is warping my mind o.O

  - HTTPConnection - verbose error messagesI have a java application that polls an asp page for the purpose of
    inserting to a data base. I am interested in seeing verbose (ie
    unfriendly HTTP error messages) when there is an internal server error
    (code 500). Below is the code snippet that makes the application's web
    connection and captures the response messages.
    
    String user = "";
    //String user = "Someone";
    
    try{//create url object
    urlWithQueryString =
    "http://www.someaddress.com/lpt/lpt_login.asp?User=" + user +
    "&FName=Alonzo&LName=Garbonzo&timeStamp=20060110_1106";
    System.err.println("urlWithQueryString ln 35: " +
    urlWithQueryString);
    url = new URL(urlWithQueryString);
    }catch(MalformedURLException mURLE){
    System.err.println( "MalformedURLException thrown in WriteToWebDB: ln
    41 " + mURLE.getMessage() );
    System.err.println("");
    return NetworkStatus.NETWORK_CONNECTION_PROBLEM;
    }
    
    try{//open connection. Write data succeeds or fails here
    connection = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
    inputStream = connection.getInputStream();
    connection.setInstanceFollowRedirects(true);
    }catch(IOException iOE1){
    try{
    System.err.println( "IOException caught in WriteToWebDB: ln 52");
    System.err.println("Connection response code ln 53: " +
    connection.getResponseCode());
    System.err.println("Connection message ln 54: " +
    connection.getResponseMessage());
    System.err.println("Exception message ln 55: " + iOE1.getMessage());
    }catch(IOException iOE){System.err.println("IOException caught ln 56"
    + iOE.getMessage());}
    return NetworkStatus.NETWORK_CONNECTION_PROBLEM;
    }
    
    ********************************************
    
    Below are three examples of server output - the first two have
    defective connection strings to force server error and one is a good
    connection string that inserts to the data base. Note that defective
    string passed from the application returns an error message without
    much information while the defective string passed from a browser
    returns a verbose and detailed error message. Can anyone help in
    discovering a way to recover verbose detailed error messages in the
    java application? Any help is greatly appreciated.

  - reading \n from a fileI am reading from a file and storing in String.
    
    I need to separate a word so that part of it goes to next line
    
    abc\nxyd
    
    I am moving this text to button.setText() and this should
    appear on the button as
    
    abc
    xyz
    
    for that I am putting newline escape there.
    
    it is not working. I have tried putting unicode string in
    place of \n that also is not working.
    
    how to do it?

  - CachedRowSet and double column typesHi, there,
    
    I have a CachedRowSet obtained from Sun's CachedRowSetImpl and I'm
    trying to use it with a MySql database. I have a table test that has
    the basic column types. If I use a plain double column type and I have
    to update a row with the double field having the fraction part
    something like 1/3 (i.e. 0.3333....), then the acceptChanges fails with
    the error
    javax.sql.rowset.spi.SyncProviderException: 1 conflicts while
    synchronizing
    If I have a double(12,2) column type or the like (i.e. I limit the
    precision) or if I have a fixed fraction part (something like 0.5,
    let's say), then acceptChanges works fine.
    I havent logged the sqls generated by the acceptChanges of the
    CachedRowSetImpl, but I remember encountering something similar on some
    different software components and what was happening in that case (and
    I suppose it's happen in this case too) is that the sqls generated were
    trying to find the original row using all the fields in the row and not
    only the primary key, as it should be the case, i.e. there was
    something like :
    update test set f1=x1, f2=x2, f3=x3 where f1=y1 and f2=y2 and f3=y3
    Now, since there's that "unlimited" number of digits after the decimal
    point, it wouldnt have found the original record (maybe because there
    was a different number of digits used to represent the same number on
    the MySql server and on the MySql client).
    
    My question - is there a way to tell CachedRowSet how the row
    identification should be done (to say what goes into the "where"
    clause)? Eventually is there a smarter, free implementation of
    CachedRowSet ?
    
    Thanks, Don

  - Known problem with JComboBox?Hi,
    
    just wondering if this is a known problem:
    I have to set JComboBox.setLightWeightPopupEnabled(false) due to the
    constellation of my framework.
    Now the scrollbar of the combo won't be updated as long as the box is
    entirely displayed within my JFrame. As soon as part of it is out of the
    window the scrollbar will work.
    
    What's that all about? Is there a "semi lightweight mode" or something like
    that?
    
    Thanks.

  - Ant : how can I use properties to store nested elementHi all,
    
    I have a build script which uses <fileset> nested in <path> to store
    the classpath and then this <path> is used in javac. e.g.
    
    <path id="MY_CLASSPATH">
    <fileset dir="${build.dir.lib}" includes="**/*.*"/>
    <fileset file="${global.lib.j2ee}"/>
    </path>
    
    <javac
    srcdir = "${project.compile.src}"
    destdir = "${project.compile.dest}">
    <classpath>
    <path refid="MY_CLASSPATH"/>
    </classpath>
    </javac>
    
    I just wondering is it possible to store the fileset in the properties
    file so that I can reference it in other place? I want to do a fileset
    instead of writing all the jar file names explicitly.
    e.g.
    In the properties file:
    project.compile.classpath=dir:${build.dir.lib}:file:${global.lib.j2ee}
    (or something like that....)
    
    then in my build.xml:
    <javac
    srcdir = "${project.compile.src}"
    destdir = "${project.compile.dest}">
    classpath = "${project.compile.classpath}">
    </javac>

  - need Java book for a C# / C C++ proficient programmer?hi,
    
    I've never cared for Java before but now i feel like learning it. I'm
    an MCP and a pretty experienced programmer. Also, i plan to take the
    SCJP and maybe the SCMAD exams.
    
    Is there a java book out that is for a programmer?? I already have a
    copy of Hebert S. java reference, that would be my last option. Also,
    i would want the books to somewhat cover the exams I plan to do.
    
    Thanks so much

  - negative dns caching problem *resolved* (was Re: JDK 1.5.0 patchsetAfter months of fighting with this, today I stumbled upon the answer. It
    was a java command line test case that led me to it.
    
    >From the command line, FreeBSD's JDK does -exactly- what it is supposed to
    with negative caching. My test case involved restarting BIND, adding a
    firewall rule for a host's name servers, having Java try to resolve the
    name (and of course fail), having Java wait while removing the firewall
    rule and having Java try again to resolve the name. All the while I was
    watching network traffic with tcpdump.
    
    Exactly as it is supposed to, the JDK tried again and succeeded after I
    removed the firewall rule.
    
    So this meant that it had to be something to do with Tomcat or
    commons-daemon/jsvc.
    
    On a whim, I removed the entry for Tomcat's native libraries, and it
    started to work correctly.
    
    Then I did an ldd against libtcnative, and found that I had compiled it
    with gcc 4.2.1. Knowing that there are problems with gcc 4.2, I
    recompiled with gcc 3.4.6. It continues to work correctly.
    
    So this turned out to be a multi-pronged problem. Earlier I was building
    a version of the JDK that somehow never read java.security, and that
    required wiping out the work directory entirely and bootstrapping off the
    Diablo JDK. Then, something about compiling the Tomcat native libraries
    with gcc 4.2.1 was apparently creating this bad behaviour situation.
    
    So if you're using Tomcat, and you want to use the Tomcat native
    libraries, do not compile them with gcc 4.2. In fact, you probably will
    want to make sure you compile them with the same major.minor version of
    gcc you used to compile libapr just to be safe. The Tomcat native library
    IS capable of screwing your DNS resolution.

Which one is better?
Where are the differences?
Are there other good J2EE plugins for Eclipse?

    As it doesn't follow the package naming specification, I'd say you need
    to modify your approch somewhat.
    
    As you don't own the rights to the Java API (or the Java name), it
    might be better to instead use the following, which would comply with
    the spec:
    
    net.domainname.mp.lang
    net.domainname.mp.text
    net.domainname.mp.util
    net.domainname.mp.io
    ...etc.
    
    That's my advice -- you're welcome to use it or ignore it as it suits
    you :).
    
    HTH!

  - Question about Master and Working Memory from Chapter 17 of the Java Language SpecificationOk the following is from Chapter 17 of the Java Language
    Specification.
    
    "A variable is any location within a program that may be stored into.
    This includes not only class variables and instance variables but also
    components of arrays. Variables are kept in a main memory that is
    shared by all threads. Because it is impossible for one thread to
    access parameters or local variables of another thread, it doesn't
    matter whether parameters and local variables are thought of as
    residing in the shared main memory or in the working memory of the
    thread that owns them.
    
    Every thread has a working memory in which it keeps its own working
    copy of variables that it must use or assign. As the thread executes a
    program, it operates on these working copies. The main memory contains
    the master copy of every variable. There are rules about when a thread
    is permitted or required to transfer the contents of its working copy
    of a variable into the master copy or vice versa."
    
    Does this mean that, say, in the following code, there are two working
    copies of the integer variable X (one belonging to aThread and one
    belonging to bThread) and one master copy?
    
    public class TestThread {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    aClass a = new aClass();
    Thread aThread = new Thread( a );
    Thread bThread = new Thread( a );
    aThread.start();
    bThread.start();
    }
    }
    
    class aClass implements Runnable{
    int X;
    public void run( ) {
    while (true) {update();}
    }
    synchronized void update(){
    X++;
    }
    }

  - Questions about porting a Java applicationHi all,
    
    I have a Java application that I want to port and I have read the better
    part of [1]. The application that I want to port unfortunately has a
    specific structure that does NOT make it possible to adhere to the
    practices. What is the general thing to do in such a case?
    
    As far as I can tell from the Win32 starter script for the application it
    insists on an application
    directory with the following structure
    
    INSTALL-DIR
    |
    +---- bin
    |
    +---- doc
    |
    +---- lib
    
    Any advice about this?
    
    Kind regards,

  - JDK + SDKHi,
    
    why i need JDK and JRE together. I don't understand it:
    
    1. I can install JDK + JRE in a packet on my maschine. So i have two Folders
    JDK1.5.0_06 and JRE1.5.0_06
    2. only JDK
    3. only JRE
    
    If i install JDK so there is a folder in it with JDK1.5.0_06/jre/ there the
    JRE ist include.
    
    So why i must install jre separately? I want to that my browser must be use
    this included jre in jdk !!!
    
    There is the diffrent between?
    
    thx a lot

  - Why Java's math expression (power) is so inconvenient and error prone?Hi,
    
    My program need a lot of calculation of power. In many programming
    languages,
    
    2**3 = 8; //or
    2^3 = 8;
    
    The syntax is clean and easy. But in Java,
    
    Math.pow(2, 3) = 8; //It is so long, and complicated and error prone
    
    Again, in many languages,
    
    EXP(1) = 2.7 //e value
    
    But in Java,
    
    Math.pow(Math.E, 1) = 2.7 //You see, so complicated
    
    Normally, in one calculation, 2**3 or EXP(3.5) is only part of
    expression, like "a + b**3 + EXP(-a)". In Java, it will be very long and
    error prone!

  - modularity / granularity of security for a Java application (not applet)Can an administrator control the security restrictions for Java
    applications, separately from restrictions for native, non-Java apps?
    
    If so, what are (some of) the resources that can be restricted?
    
    Specifically, can a Java application be temporarily prevented from using
    network services?
    
    Again, this is for an application, not an applet.
    
    Thanks for any information,

  - Variable scope access questionHi,
    
    I am not sure my question is valid or not. It is the following:
    
    public class MyClass {
    
    public void doA() {
    int num = 10;
    
    doB();
    //Now, num value has been changed
    }
    
    public void doB() {
    //I need to access and change the value num inside doA. But I don't
    know how to do it.
    
    }
    }
    
    Is this possible? Thank you for your help.

  - Error handling java GUILet's say that I'm reading the inputs from a TextField widget:
    
    JTextField jt = new JTextField(20);
    String text = jt.getText();
    
    if ( !text.equals("OK") )
    {
    // print some error message to the user
    }
    
    If the input is bad, I want to print some error message to the user but
    at the same time I don't want to exit my GUI. How do I do that? Should
    I be using exceptions? Can someone point me to some sample codes
    somewhere on how error handling is performed in JAVA?
    
    Thanks

  - dragging a transparent JFrameI'm able to get a transparent JFrame using java 1.4+ on Mac OS X. I
    simply set the JFrame's background to a transparent color. However,
    with a transparent color (any alpha component less than 255), when I
    drag within the JFrame (not the titlebar), it drags the entire JFrame
    with it. This makes for unexpected results when dragging an object
    within the JFrame that also drags the entire JFrame.
    
    Any ideas?
