  - log4j questionIs log4j specifically a servlet, or is it an API that can be called from
    ANY java program that wanst to do logging?

  - Second URL.openstream in second thread causes ProtocolExceptionI have a multi-threaded Java http image proxy service application that
    runs fine on Windows 2000. The app retrieves multiple, distinct images
    from a webserver with one image retrieval process per thread. The
    webserver images change every so often, but each distinct URL used in
    my proxy service remains the same. Each thread repeats its image
    download every few seconds to retrieve updated images. It all works
    great.
    
    I am trying to move this app to a Red Hat Fedora core 4 machine.
    Almost everything works except I am getting a protocol exception when
    I try to open a second URL stream in a second thread. Within seconds,
    one of the threads will throw a ProtocolException error with error
    text of '1.1/ 200 OK'. Any one stream/thread combo will work fine.
    Trying to start another causes problems.
    
    If I comment out the URL.openStream() call, I can start a dozen
    threads, run them for as long as I want and stop them all quite
    nicely. Again, all of the code works beautifully on Windows 2000. I'm
    not sure if this is a Java problem or, perhaps, a Linux server
    configuration problem.
    
    It just seems that the Red Hat server/Java environment is having a
    hard time having two http protocol discussions in two threads at the
    same time. Occasionally, the threads will both succeed for a few
    image revolutions, so there is a little inconsistency in when the
    failure occurs.

  - Thread and ListenerHi,
    
    I'm doing some experiences with JOESNMP. It's very good. Guided by the
    examples I was able to build a listener that receives snmp traps. It's
    working fine (when running through console).
    
    So I decided to start it automatically, together with my web
    application (that is running under tomcat).
    
    I have a servlet that is executed when tomcat starts (using
    <load-on-startup>). So I did a call to my new class.
    
    The problem is that this class is actually a listener. When it starts,
    it hangs the other procedures, including tomcat initilization.
    
    I tryed to put it under a thread, but it also hangs as soon it starts
    to listen for snmp traps.
    
    How do I ran a listner without blocking other processes? I am looking
    for a solution that should work both on linux and windows.
    
    I don't know if I made myself understood. Sorry my poor english.
    TIA,
    
    Bob

  - MI5 Persecution: ?0,000 Reward (3097)
    20,000 Reward Offered to Expose the Conspiracy
    
    I am making a pledge for information directly leading to the exposing of the "BBC Newscaster
    Conspiracy". The exposing would specifically need to lead to a legally binding admission from Martyn Lewis
    or Michael Buerk of the BBC they they were watching me through the TV set.
    
    I would be happy (delighted, in fact) to pay GBP 20,000 sterling in reward for the above admission.

  - does IntelliJ do any of these thingsI am taking IntelliJ out for its first spin. See
    http://mindprod.com/jgloss/intellij.html
    
    You can see my first program at:
    http://mindprod.com/jgloss/arraylist.html#GROWINGARRAYLIST
    
    Everything is going smoothly. I wondered if the following features
    exist somewhere and I just can't find them.
    
    1. Reorder methods and declarations in canonical order. I make heavy
    use of this in Eclipse to save finding the right spot to insert. I put
    methods and declarations I am working temporarily adjacent then
    reorder.
    
    2. tidy javadoc.
    
    3. summarise syntax errors, like the Eclipse "problems" panel.
    
    4. quickly ensure Javadoc are complete. I have found the lint which
    requires opening a zillion tree elements to find nit picks rather than
    true errors.

  - multi track audio card accessinghallo
    
    I am programming in java for multi track sound card ( 4 - stereo track
    -- 8 speakers). I need to output 8 mono wav audio file in eight
    different speakers
    for this work I have suceeded by playing two mono files in first 2
    speakers ( first stereo track ) I am now searching to output other
    6 mono files in other 3 different stereo tracks
    
    how to get the port or details for the other 3 stereo tracks
    
    I have attached 3 java files which i have used
    
    <<<<MultiAudioStreamPlayer.java
    <<<<BaseAudioStream.java
    <<<<SimpleAudioStream.java
    
    for running the below java samples there is no need to have a special
    sound card but make sure to change the WAV file name in
    SimpleAudioStream.java
    program
    
    I am eagerly waiting for your valuable ideas
    
    Yours friendly

    Indeed. That's more of a symptom of a problem than a reasonable
    solution. You're then left with a class that professes to follow an
    interface, but doesn't follow it. What you really wanted was to
    implement a different interface on top of existing functionality... a
    task for which composition is ideal.
    
    Of course, in a pinch, the exception-throwing kludge will work; it's
    integrated into the collections API and even given a fancy name:
    "optional methods". However, even its light application there is
    generally acknowledged to be one of the few great failures of that API.

  - corba-J2EE-EJB-WebSphere?Some help for a newbee?
    
    I've been a c/C++ programmer in VMS, OS/400, and most recently, Windows
    and Dot Net. However, I have recently signed on as Q/A manager at a
    predominantly Java shop. We have some consultants coming in to assess our
    scaleability and architecture, and I'd like to be in a position to at least
    make some intelligable noises. I have gotten the sense that there is at
    least some compatability between these, but I'm not picking up the extent,
    if any, to which any are essentially competing technologies. Is some subset
    of these an obvious choice for a medium volume site with lots of active
    content, with scaleability, performance, and maintainability being our top
    three criteria? Thanks.

  - Can't detect double-click mouse events in MustangThe following relates to Mustang b89 on Windows Server 2003. It may well
    relate to earlier Java versions as well but I haven't tested it.
    
    I think my understanding of mouse clicked events is wrong because I don't
    get the behaviour I expect. When I implement the following code:
    
    table.getTableHeader().addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter()
    {
    public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent event)
    {
    System.out.println("Mouse event, clickCount = " +
    event.getClickCount());
    }
    }
    
    I get the following output for every double-click:
    
    Mouse event, clickCount = 1
    Mouse event, clickCount = 2
    
    Shouldn't it be just one event with a clickCount of 2? How can I tell the
    difference between the first event and a normal single-click?
    
    Thanks,
    
    Wes

java-programmer, Help - Any browser crashes with Java plug in when using parameters When ever I try to load java applet I, the plug in works fine unless I
specify any runtime parameters. Then as soon as I try to start up an
applet the browser will shut down right away with no warning or error
messages.

I've tried both 1.3.1_13 and 1.4.2_06 with both Internet Explorer 6 and
Firefox.

I thought maybe it was a Windows patch or something but can't find any
info on that. This happens both on a Windows 2000 and XP SP1 machine.

those are both fairly ancient Java's. Try 1.5.0_06.

Also make sure your browsers are up to date. Firefox is 1.5.

Now, is it just YOUR applet that has trouble or all applets?

See http://mindprod.com/applets/amanuenses.html
to try out some of mine.

If just yours, for an start post the HTML you use to invoke it.

You need to show us how you are passing the parameters into the applet, and how
the applet is attempting to read them. Whilst it's easy enough to access the
parameters incorrectly in the applet, causing NullPointerException, I've never
seen an error causing the browser to shut down.

It's very unlikely that a Windows patch will have any effect on either Java or
Firefox. Are you absolutely certain the the correct plugin is being used?

  - pack() and BufferedImage in JPanelI want to draw a jpg image in a JFrame, so I used JPEGImageDecoder and read
    it into a BufferedImage, which I draw to a JPanel.
    
    But when I add the component (JPanel) to the JFrame, pack() doesn't work,
    and I have to setSize() explicitly.
    
    Why doesn't pack() work? I can't do imagePanel.getWidth() either, it's 0
    until visible.
    (Oh, I should mention, pack() still doesn't work after it's visible...do I
    have to wait
    until the image is rendered?)
    
    Also, what's the best way to swap images dynamically in this case?
    
    TIA

  - Parallel GC in 1.4.2Just a quick question concerning ParallelGC. Since ParallelGC uses the
    UseAdaptiveSizePolicy to figure out the parameters (it will bark if you
    try to set the -ms parameter) is it necessary or even desired to set the
    -mx parameter? Is there a limit in this mode? What happens if you have
    2 JVMs running on the same box and neither specifies the -mx parameter?
    Is the default used or does the JVM compute it or do the JVMs try to
    get as much as they can starving each other out?

    Two things to remember:
    
    1) Do not post binary articles to a non-binary group. Hint, this is a
    non-binary group.
    
    2) Post your questions into the appropriate newsgroup. For beginners
    questions, this would be comp.lang.java.help

  - rmi activation and codebaseHello folks,
    
    I have created three activatable rmi services. Now I want them to use three
    different codebases for each service (like http://xyz/serivce1.jar http:/
    xyz/service2.jar ...).
    Each service is in its own activation group (this means it runs in it's own
    jvm if I remember right). I tried to set the java.rmi.server.codebase
    property for the activation group descriptor to the apropriate value. But
    still all services seems to run with the same codebase.
    
    What would be the preferred way to specify a different codebase for each
    activatable object? I also tried to set the java.rmi.server.codebase
    property during rmid startup to something like:
    -J-Djava.rmi.server.codebase="http://xyz/service1.jar http://xyz
    service2.jar" but this won't work either...
    
    Greetings,
    Marcus

  - MI5 Persecution: Surveillance methods 5/8/95 (5827)From: Pamela Willoughby <email***@***.com>

    Lines: 15

    >Hmmm, strange eh.

    >Though he said the name was familiar...
    
    it does go on, although it's an open question who does it.
    
    Some time ago there were press reports of an Army intelligence person
    called Jones who claimed Diana and Hewitt had been photographed in a
    compromising position... he said he'd been doing this as part of an
    Army unit which had previously operated in Northern Ireland.
    
    Then Hewitt said he'd been told the same thing by some Army people,
    and that they were threatening to release the tapes unless they
    curtailed their liaison... as per usual everyone denied everything,
    painted Jones as the "Jones twins" - not very original in how
    they deal with their perceived enemies, are they?
    
    You have to wonder how they manage to achieve this sort of
    surveillance though. Audio you can understand, it's possible to put
    a microphone through the wall, and apparently there exist devices
    which will retrieve sound from a laser beam bounced off a window -
    sounds sci-fi, but there's a well known surveillance electronics
    company in London which sells these things.
    
    But how would you get video out of a room, unless you had actual
    physical access in order to plant a device for pickup? We're not
    talking about looking in from afar, but an actual device within
    the room. You could either drill through the wall and shove a
    pickup through; or you could supply a trojan device with a hidden
    pickup inside; but most likely, you would have to physically break
    into your target room to plant a camera. That's not an infeasible
    option; all it means is having your target(s) watched to make sure
    they're not in the vicinity, then you negotiate any locks on the
    property and find a suitable receptacle for your device.
    
    The next question is how they defeat the usual methods of counter-
    surveillance. We had private detectives carry out a "sweep" of
    every room and the telephone line. They found nothing. That
    indicates at least four possibilities that I can think of;
    (this is all guesswork BTW, and probably fanciful guesswork
    at that!)
    
    1) no bugs (pull the other one)
    
    2) radio-transmitting devices which can be controlled from an
    external source, ie you can instruct them to switch off
    when you detect a counter-surveillance sweep taking place
    
    3) hard-wired devices; probe microphones or whatever they're
    called, things you poke through the wall
    
    4) passive surveillance devices; so you bounce laser or
    radio waves off a suitable reflecting surface (again,
    sounds far-fetched but such things may apparently exist).
    
    5) there is a fifth possibility, that the PI's didn't detect
    an actual transmitting device; there are technologies
    specifically designed to avoid detection, eg frequency hopping
    and suchlike. But how much sophistication could you build in
    to a device which would have to be small enough to be
    physically concealable?
    
    I guess the real question is to find out who is ultimately
    behind these "goings on". And if the "great and good" (or
    the better known, at any rate) can't protect themselves,
    what hope is there for the rest of us?

  - Struts and EJB mix upi surfed google a lot but nowhere i found a sample code about how to
    integrate Struts and EJB.
    
    all i got is advice of "session facade" , "business delegate" etc etc.
    
    no sample code !!
    
    it seems to me that truts and EJB's can not be mixed.
    
    i opened EJB book and they did not talk about mixing with Struts !
    i opened Struts book and they did not talk about mixing with EJB!
    
    i found an article of DEVX article though which is not good and well
    -explained.
    
    and did not find in the net about how to mix Struts and EJB.
    
    is there anybody can provide me some resoures/links/book/SAMPLE CODE
    recommendation about this mixing ?

  - getting around html encoding in outputText tag (JSF)Hi,
    
    I'm getting a value to my JSP page (using JSF) with outputText from a
    bean that has html encoding in it.
    
    How could I temper with the HTML encoding so that I could preserve
    certain tags? I need to have a few <BR> inside the text and want'em
    displayed in HTML code, not <BR> etc...
    
    What I'm doing is having a properties file for end users to modify. And
    since there are some longer texts, they want to add paragraphs and line
    breaks every now and then. So I've written a method that searches the
    string for example \n and replaces'em with <br> just before this string
    is sent to JSP. But now the encoding happens...
    
    Or what would be the smartest way?
    
    Regards,
    Niko

  - tag-lib and JSTL expression libraryHallo, I have created a tag-lib. They ask me if it integrates
    with the JSTL expression library.
    
    In other words, I would like to be able to express this:
    
    <tag attribute="<% = somevar %> "/>
    
    as:
    
    <tag attribute="${value}"/>
    
    any articles/tutorials explaining how to achieve this?

    Why not?
    
    Derby seems to be not included in most Java installations.
    When I installed Java the last time there was an option for derby.
    Default for derby is to be not installed.. So I assume thats what most
    users will have.
    Also I think I read on Ubuntu/Linux derby is a seperate package, so also
    not mandatory.
    
    Derby seems to be a good choice for testing stuff but it seems not to be
    software that you can rely on being on the users machine.

  - rxtx problem, please help!Hello!
    
    So I am trying to access a virtual serial port using the rxtx
    library. I enumerate the ports, and loop through them attempting to
    open each one. Although the portId.isCurrentlyOwned() returns false,
    portId.open() still throws a PortInUseException, and when I call
    portId.getCurrentOwner(), it returns null.
    
    Here is relevant code:
    
    portList = CommPortIdentifier.getPortIdentifiers();
    
    while (portList.hasMoreElements()) {
    portId = (CommPortIdentifier)portList.nextElement();
    
    /* only iterate through serial ports */
    if (portId.getPortType() == CommPortIdentifier.PORT_SERIAL) {
    
    /* attempt to open the port */
    try {
    if (portId.isCurrentlyOwned()) {
    System.out.println(portId.getName() + " is owned");
    } else {
    System.out.println(portId.getName() + " is not
    owned");
    }
    serialPort = (SerialPort)portId.open("Square2Plus",
    2000);
    } catch (PortInUseException e) {
    //if the port is unavailable, move to the next one
    System.out.println(portId.getName() + " is owned by " +
    portId.getCurrentOwner());
    continue;
    }
    }
    }
    
    if(portOpen) {
    System.out.println(portId.getName() + "is open!");
    serialPort.close();
    } else {
    System.out.println("port not found");
    }
    
    Running this code produces:
    
    COM3 is not owned
    COM3 is owned by null
    COM5 is not owned
    COM5 is owned by null
    port not found
    
    So if the ports aren't owned, why is it throwing this exception, and
    what can I do about it?
    
    Please and thank you all so much!
