  - char array to numeric data types - fastest conversionI know i can convert the char array to a string then to the appropiate
    numeric data types (float, double etc) however I'm doing this millions
    of times and throughput is critical. Any ideas if there is SDK function
    or some example code out there that removes the middle step of creating
    a string object.
    
    TIA

  - java numerical library recomendationHi,
    I'm a relative newcomer to Java and I was wondering if there any good
    numerical libraries (on the lines of GSL for C) available? Specifically
    I'm looking for linear algebra routines, least squares and minimization
    routines. I'm interested mainly in Opensource libraries but I am also
    open to commercial libraries.
    
    Thanks,

  - Requesting re-pack'ing of FrameHi all,
    
    I've implemented my own AWT component which determines a "preferred
    size" by itself. This component is added to a Frame, which is at the
    center of a BorderLayout in a Frame which gets pack()ed. The frame is
    also not resizable, because I must ensure this component always acutally
    has its preferred size. This works fine so far.
    
    However, during execution time this preferred size changes; is there a
    *generic* way to propagate this message up to the Frame so it re-pack()s?
    
    I do not want to use a succession of getParent() until I reach the Frame
    and call pack() on it, as this component might be used in a situation
    which does not allow this in the future (maybe an Applet or in an
    resizable/unpacked Frame as part of a more complex layout).
    
    Is there any way to achieve this? I.e., propagate to the Frame/layout
    that the preferred size has changed and this should be considered anew?
    
    Many thanks in advance,
    Daniel

  - Need help with regex pleaseI'm trying to validate a phone number value. I have passed the value
    to my constructor as a String type because I would like to catch the
    leading zero in the number. I want to iterate through the String
    phoneNum and confirm that only [0-9] were entered as characters of
    phoneNum. Below is my code attempt which fails:
    
    phoneNum = phoneNum.trim();
    Pattern p = Pattern.compile("\\d");
    boolean found = p.matcher(phoneNum).lookingAt();
    if (!found){
    System.out.println("Error in contact phone number");
    }
    else{
    this.phoneNum = phoneNum;
    System.out.println("Phone number was successfully
    assigned");
    }
    
    Could anyone post code/ideas/principles that could make this idea
    work, please?

  - Reading windows event file like event viewer from windows/system32/config/AppEvent.evthi ,any one can help ,me to solve my problem.
    i m talking about reading AppEvent.evt SecEvent.evt SysEvent.evt files
    which basically resides in C:\WINDOWS\system32\config folder of
    windows xp.if we want to open that files and our computer is on n/w
    than some services used all three files and i m not able to open that
    files manually.if i want to read that files than i have two options
    either read by event viewer or copy this file and to another place and
    open it in vc++.
    i have to read or parse that file by writing a pure java parser
    without using any dll bcz that files runs under linux there is another
    option to use so(shared object files working as a dll in linux) but i
    don't want to depend on dll and so files.
    one another way microsoft ;log parser but i m not sure that it
    will run on linux or not ,simply i want to write independent java
    program using only java based open source api
    so plz give me a best approach to read or parse this event files when
    they r locked by another applications or services.
    
    this is the link which help u to understand windows event log format
    and it has links of sample program written in vc++,c#,asp.net,c+
    +,php .
    
    http://www.whitehats.ca/main/members/Malik/malik_eventlogs/malik_eventlogs.html
    
    i follow the php program approach but i got only source name,computer
    name,description but not able to parse this things individually and i
    also need date,event id,event type.
    
    then i got another code from code project site,which has functionality
    to read event logs it is using log4j to read this event files.and
    display ti on swing interface but i want only a simple program which
    did only reading or parsing event log files.

  - how to create jar fileHi,
    
    In help we can read:
    
    To create a JAR file from your help files, make the top level help folder
    the current folder. The jar command
    
    descends recursively through the different directories and copies all of the
    files to the JAR file.
    
    Use the following steps to create a JAR file named my_help.jar from the
    hierarchy example above:
    
    C:\> cd ...\help (where "..." is the path above the \help folder) 1.
    
    C:...\help> jar -cvf my_help.jar * 2.
    
    The jar -cvf command copies all the files in the \help folder and in all
    folders hierarchically beneath it into
    
    a JAR file named my_help.jar. As the command creates the JAR file, it
    reports its progress with output like
    
    My error message:
    
    "jar is not recoginized as an internal or external command, operable program
    or
    batch file"
    
    please help me

  - Is there any basic base for a community website? (J2ee)Hi
    
    I'm wondering if there is any basic "base" for a community website. With
    things like support for user registration, login, individual homepages,
    photo albums, sending messages, guestbooks, diaries and so on... And
    ofcourse with optimised code (especially the code for the communicating with
    the database).
    I mean, I know these things have been written before, so it feels a bit
    stupid to do it again, like reinventing the wheel.
    What I'm looking for is a basic foundation, written in J2ee (Java/jsp), that
    is easy to use as a base when making a community that should be able to
    handle a large "population" (at least a few thousand simultanous users, and
    holefully ten thousands or even houndred thousands at peak hours, in the
    future).
    
    Any suggestions?

  - chaning label sizes during runtimehi all,
    I have a minor problem in my application (sorry I can't post any code,
    so I'vm only asking for guidance in the general case, not this
    specific one).
    In my application I have a number of JLabels that gets their texts
    changed during runtime. Unfortunatley it seems that they sometimes
    become too wide for the panel they are in. The panel has room to grow
    though (it is located in a jscrollpane).
    I use
    label.invalidate();
    after each change, and
    validateTree();
    on the top container after all changes.
    This gives me a somewhat strange behavour though.
    On first run nothing happens (i.e the label get's cut)
    on second run, the panel to the left shrinks a bit and the lables
    there get's cut. On the third run all looks nice.
    (run means updating of the labels, not a re-run of the application)
    
    So what is the best way to handle this?
    Should I invalidate, and revalidate myself? and if so when should that
    be done?
    All changes to components are executed in the EDT.
    
    regards
    Daniel

  - ThreadPoolExecutor implementation questionHi,
    I have a question about Sun's implementation of
    java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor, specifically the execute(
    Runnable ) method. The runState field is read before the Runnable task
    is added to the workQueue (BlockingQueue), however there is no
    synchronization in place. It seems that it might be possible for
    another thread to invoke shutdown after runState is checked, but before
    the task is added to the queue. Is it not then possible that the queue
    is cleared by the shutdown process, the executor left as terminated,
    only for the task to finally be added to the queue, something like:
    
    Thread 1 | Thread 2
    execute( t1 ) |
    runState==RUNNING |
    | shutdown
    | runState=SHUTDOWN
    | clear out workQueue
    | return
    | executor now terminated
    |
    workQueue.add(t1) |
    return |
    
    At this point, t1 is stuck in a queue that will never be cleared, but
    no feedback to that effect was given on Thread 1.
    
    Looking at Doug Lea's PooledExecutor at
    http://gee.cs.oswego.edu/dl/classes/EDU/oswego/cs/dl/util/concurrent/PooledExecutor.java
    I see that PooledExecutor.execute uses a synchronized block which would
    prevent the above case from occuring.
    
    Am I missing something?
    
    cheers

  - [strus] tiles, menu static?Hello,
    
    I am building a struts application with tiles. The side is built as follows:
    menu,footer, head and contents.
    In my tiles def I have the following entries:
    
    <tiles-definitions>
    <definition name="webladen.welcomeLayout" path="/layouts/welcomeLayout.jsp">
    <put name="title" value="Welcome..." />
    <put name="header" value="/view/tiles/header.jsp" />
    <put name="menu" value="/view/tiles/menu.jsp" />
    <put name="footer" value="/view/tiles/footer.jsp" />
    <put name="content" value="/view/tiles/contentFirst.jsp" />
    </definition>
    <definition name="webshop.katalog" extends="webshop.welcomeLayout">
    <put name="content" value="/view/katalog.jsp"/>
    </definition>
    </tiles-definitions>
    
    But when I click on the catalogue button, every area on the side is loading
    new, but of course I only want the content-are to be loaded.
    
    Could anybody tell me what I do wrong?
    Thank you very much for your action!

  - SCPJ Certification And Career PathHi All,
    
    I took my "Data Structures And Advanced Programming" coursework at
    Berkeley back when they taught this in Java 1.1. Since that time I
    have kept active in other languages, but haven't delved deeply into
    J2EE, for example. I am very interested in JSP/Servlets and the
    forthcoming Java HTML Tag Library. Currently my most proficient
    language is PHP, where I am applying all my oo theory but finding the
    language lacks some hard edges.
    
    In short, I want to get back into Java development work, ideally on
    the web. Is getting a Sun Certified Programmer certification going to
    help me in this regard? Do employers look seriously at this? Or should
    I try to get my foot back into the door through more hands-on
    experience? Maybe work on an open-source project for awhile? My skills
    are very transferrable and I can pick up the finer points of Java
    again quickly. I'm just interested in the most bang for my buck here.
    
    Thanks for your thoughts.
    
    Regards,

  - jpeg has poor quality when written back to diskHi,
    I have written an app using netbeans that loads a jpeg image to a panel.
    I can then do some processing on it. However if I do no
    processing other than loading the file and saving it as a jpeg,
    the file has very bad quality. (compressed further?)
    
    How can I save an image file (jpeg) without losing quality?

  - Display xml file in JTree: Select information to be shown in node labelHi there,
    I have managed to write a small java program that display an xml file
    in a JTree. This was achieved by defining a suitable tree model. THe
    program works...somehow. The nodes (elements and texts) are correctly
    recognized, and the corresponding branches in the JTree can be opened
    and closed. However, when I run the program, all the non-leaf nodes
    (e. g. the element nodes) are displayed from the start tag to the end
    tag including the tag delimiters. Is there any way to control what is
    used as a "node label" in a JTree? Of course that could be done by
    brute (e.g. by building the JTree from simple strings) but I believe
    that this approach will destroy the tree structure of the underlying
    xml file.
    I have tried for some time to display xml data in a tree view, and a
    java solution seemed to be the most "organic" one. So it would be
    great if that program to be really made to work properly. Many thanks
    for any idea how to achieve this! Piet

  - [NEWBIE] Using a Java Class from a JSP PageHi all and please forgive me for this newbie question.
    
    I should create and utilize the funcionts of a Java Class from a JSP

    I Should:
    
    a) define a package containing this class and put it in the CLASSPATH
    
    b) put the Java class in TomCat (folder WEB-INF/lib or WEB-INF/class)

  - Java Applet Background ColorHi,
    
    I am trying to set the background color of my applet to white but it
    keeps coming up gray.Strangely when I open the applet on a local web
    page (not live on the web), applet viewer (thru eclipse) or even live
    on the web from my own home PC it appears white as expected. But from
    every other machine that I access it the background is grey. Even when
    i run it thru Eclips on other PCs the background is gray.I have tried
    to set the background to white by calling
    
    setBackground(Color.white)
    and
    setBackground(Color.WHITE)
    
    from the init() method. In the HTML that calls the applet i also set
    the <body bgcolor=#FFFF></body> and i do the same for the <HEAD>.
    However from every other machine that I access my webpage/applet
    except my own home PC the background still appears as gray.
    
    Any ideas?
    
    Thanks

  - RFC: Removal of arbortext-catalog and xt-catalogHi,
    
    I would like to request comments if the arbortext-catalog and xt-catalog
    [1] packages can be removed from the archives.
    
    They have no reverse dependencies, do not occur in any build
    dependencies, have only a few users [2], no active upstream and IMO
    libxml-commons-resolver1.1-java offers the same functionality. However,
    the package is not broken.
    
    [1] http://packages.qa.debian.org/a/arbortext-catalog.html
    [2] http://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=arbortext-catalog
    
    If nobody objects, I will go for a removal request.
    
    x-post to debian-devel, debian-sgml & debian-java
    
    Regards, Daniel

  - Eclipse is slow -- what's the alternative?I'm starting to get tired of Eclipse -- it's slow and pauses frequently.
    
    Does anyone know if there is a way to speed it up? (I'm already giving it
    plenty of memory). Are any speed improvements in the works?
    
    Is it worth switching to another IDE?
