  - tomcat authentication questionI'm fairly new to configuring server.xml and web.xml files in tomcat 4.
    
    I am trying to require password authentication for access to a
    subdirectory called "update" located within ROOT. I want all files
    located directly in ROOT to be available without a password. I am having
    trouble determing the correct path to use for the <url-pattern> in the
    web.xml file in WEB-INF so that only the files in the subdirectory
    "update" within ROOT are password protected.
    
    If I use <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> then no pages on the site may be
    accessed without a password no matter their location. I am presuming
    that this means I have set up the basic authentication correctly in
    tomcat-users.xml, server.xml (in conf) and web.xml (in WEB-INF) but that
    I now simply need to put the correct path into the <url-pattern> in
    web.xml.
    
    However, when I use <url-pattern>/update/*</url-pattern>, I can access
    all of the pages within the update directory without being asked for a
    password. I've experimented with many different paths and have not had
    luck with any. I have been careful to close my browser and open a new
    one each time between tests. I've also tried restarting tomcat for every
    new test. Nothing works.
    
    In my server.xml file, <Realm
    className="org.apache.catalina.realm.MemoryRealm" /> is located within
    the <Engine> tag (not within <Host> or <context>).
    
    Have hunted around for a solution without much luck. I assume that I am
    missing something very simple.
    
    Here is my complete web.xml file...
    
    <web-app>
    <display-name>SMUpdate App webxml</display-name>
    
    <security-constraint>
    <web-resource-collection>
    <web-resource-name>SMUpdate</web-resource-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> 
    </web-resource-collection>
    <auth-constraint>
    <role-name>smupdate</role-name>
    </auth-constraint>
    </security-constraint>
    <login-config>
    <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
    <realm-name>SMUpdate</realm-name>
    </login-config>
    <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>invoker</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/servlet/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    </web-app>
    
    Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
    
    Thanks.

  - Java coding with Agile PLM SDK - QuestionHello,
    
    I was wondering if any one out here is dealing with a PALM System called
    Agile and has some experience with the Agile SDK. If so can you email me, I
    have a question on the SDK.
    
    Also if any one know where I might find like a forum or message board that
    deals with The Agile PALM system that would be help full too.
    
    Thanks

    Okay, it breaks down like this. File handling is just that, things you
    want to do to a file. You can read files and write to them. Whenever
    you read to or write from a file, you have to handle exceptions, the
    main one being FileNotFoundException (in case there's no file to be
    found). That's why they want to empahasize both of those points.
    Whenever you're doing I/O, you have to use try/catch blocks. I think
    I/O exception's the other one you have to handle but my memory is
    fuzzy on it right now.

    Even so, both the main method and the main thread exit directly toward
    the beginning of a typical GUI application. What may *not* end, on some
    operating systems, is the native OS-level thread that is used to
    implement Java's concept of the main thread.
    
    It's undefined whether that OS-level thread lives or not following the
    termination of Java's main thread. It must on many platforms in order
    to get around POSIX and other similar thread conventions (including
    Win32, IIRC) that designate it as a special thread. On a system that
    implemented a very different threading convention, though, which didn't
    carry POSIX and Win32's pre-multithreading baggage, it would probably
    not be necessary.

  - Tomcat is giving the wrong MIME type?I use Tomcat serves a web application. I put all the files including
    jsp, css and javascript file inside the Tomcat server.
    When I request a jsp page through both Firefox1.5 and IE6, I found the
    css and the javascript files are not loaded correctly.
    I used LiveHttpHeaders to inspect the request and response headers. I
    found that the server is giving text/html to the Content-Type of all
    the files.
    Is the problem in Tomcat configuration or in the browser?
    Any idea?
    TIA...

  - Another error creating JVM through JNII notice that there is another poster with a similar problem to mine,
    but he's on Unix and I am on Windows, and I think there may be a
    setup/config problem, so I am starting a new thread
    
    I am also getting an error creating the JVM, I am using j2sdk1.4.2_04
    with MSDEV 6.0 and have cut'n'pasted about three different pieces of
    sample code ( I won't post loads of code here) from working examples
    found on the web, they all fail on the call to JNI_CreateJavaVM with an
    error code of -1
    
    I am wondering is there are any common setup problems, perhaps having
    dlls in the wrong place of environment variables set wrongly, that
    might be a cause of this problem?
    
    Here is an example of one code sample I tried that did not work.
    Incidentally if I set the version wrong, I get a different error code
    (-3, which is to indicate wrong version)
    
    jint ret;
    JavaVM* jvm;
    JNIEnv* env;
    JavaVMInitArgs args;
    JavaVMOption options[1];
    
    args.version = JNI_VERSION_1_2;
    args.nOptions = 1;
    options[0].optionString = "-Djava.class.path=c:\\";
    args.options = options;
    args.ignoreUnrecognized = JNI_FALSE;
    
    ret = JNI_CreateJavaVM(&jvm, (void **)&env, &args);

  - servlet mapping problemsHey guys/gals. My first attempted at servlet mapping flubbed.
    
    Background:
    A friend at work suggested I store my source in webapps\wbrl\jsp
    So I have Tomcat\webapps\wbrl\jsp\WebRoll.jsp
    
    Currently I type http://localhost:8080/wbrl/jsp/WebRoll3.jsp
    
    This brings up my application successfully.
    
    I would like to be able to type http://localhost:8080/wbrl and have
    it bring up my web page.
    
    So I tried to change the web.xml, but it doesnt work.
    
    <servlet>
    <servlet-name>WebRoll3</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>WebRoll3</servlet-class>
    </servlet>
    
    <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>WebRoll3</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/wbrl/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    
    <url-pattern>/wbrl/*</url-pattern> causes "Wrapper cannot find servlet
    class WebRoll3 or a class it"
    
    How do i fix this? Do I use filter mapping? I got totally lost in the
    filter mapping explanation.

  - Java process title editingI need a component that takes a String and puts it into Unix process
    table by calling natively setproctitle. On Windows it can do nothing, I
    don't care.
    
    Also a possibility to use variables such as number_of_threads would be cool.
    
    Why? When running a lot of Java server stuff on a Linux box it's really
    hard to tell which process is which. Especially in production
    environment "kill -9":ing makes me always feel quite uncomfortable...
    
    If there is no such thing, then I'll have to roll my own. But better to
    check first, don't wan't to reinvent stuff. :) Google didn't turn out
    anything. ..

  - Middle Tier for Java and PHPHi,
    
    Let's say you have a Java SE Application and a PHP Web App that are both
    accessing a database directly. You want to control things more formally
    by using a common middle tier (enforcing things in addition to database
    constraints / sprocs).
    
    Any experience on what works and/or recommendations?

  - hashCode and equals (again)Hello,
    
    I have spent a great deal of time reading through the postings in this
    group as well as tutorials/explanations on sites elsewhere (i.e.,
    Roedy's, etc.), but have not been able to get a good grasp of hashCode
    and equals. I understand most of the rules for hashCode are defined
    for use of objects in maps and other comparable collections, so it is
    from that POV that I am trying to get a good grasp of the concepts.
    
    Please help if you can - especially the SCCE later.
    
    1. Originally, I thought that it made sense to make an equals method
    that uses hashCode as its criteria for equality. However, as I now
    understand hashCode, the code _must_ be the same for equal objects,
    BUT it is _possible_ to be the same for non-equal objects. Am I
    stating this correctly?
    
    2. When would one use a set of criteria to determine equality that is
    different from the criteria used to generate a hashCode?
    
    3. Why aren't the hashCode_s in the following code the same?
    
    package hashcode;
    
    public class Main
    {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
    
    int[] a = { 1, 7, 0, 0 };
    int[] b = { 1, 7, 0, 0 };
    
    System.out.println( "equals: " + a.equals( b ) );
    System.out.println( "hash a: " + a.hashCode() );
    System.out.println( "hash b: " + b.hashCode() );
    
    Integer[] c = { 1, 7, 0, 0 };
    Integer[] d = { 1, 7, 0, 0 };
    
    System.out.println( "equals: " + c.equals( d ) );
    System.out.println( "hash c: " + c.hashCode() );
    System.out.println( "hash d: " + d.hashCode() );
    
    int[] e = a.clone();
    Integer[] f = c.clone();
    
    System.out.println( "equals: " + a.equals( e ) );
    System.out.println( "hash a: " + a.hashCode() );
    System.out.println( "hash e: " + e.hashCode() );
    System.out.println( "equals: " + c.equals( f ) );
    System.out.println( "hash c: " + c.hashCode() );
    System.out.println( "hash f: " + f.hashCode() );
    }
    
    }
    
    Thanks,

  - Graphics2D question.Hello,
    
    I want to build my application from three main classes.
    1. A frame class to handle file operations.
    2. A Drawing panel to render images to.
    3. An engine to perform the actual rendering.
    
    All the examples I have read so far for Image stuff in Java have
    everything stuffed into one monolithic class, and the crux of the
    rendering seems to be done in paint(Graphics g) or
    paintComponent(Graphics g) using a g2d object cast againg the parameter g.
    
    If I wanted to do calculations for rotations translations etc I can do
    this with the AffineTransform class setX methods, but the drawImage
    method of g2d seems to be handled in the paint/paintComponent methods.
    
    This is fine until I want to specify x, y arguments in the drawImage
    Method as neither Paint or PaintComponent take these parameters in their
    method signature how can I do this, is there another way to draw apart
    from the paint/paint component methods?
    
    Any help appreciated.

  - Applet, use seperate classHi I am making a applet that uses a seperate class, but my IDE tells me
    that when I try to use my seperate class, that it cannot resolve the

  - CLASSPATH clobbering, win2kfrom <http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/install-windows.html#Environment>:
    
    "Choose Start, Settings, Control Panel, and double-click System. On
    Microsoft Windows NT, select the Environment tab; on Microsoft Windows
    2000 select the Advanced tab and then Environment Variables. Look for
    "Path" in the User Variables and System Variables. If you're not sure
    where to add the path, add it to the right end of the "Path" in the
    User Variables."
    
    under System Variables the value of "Path" is:
    "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0\bin\"
    
    from
    <http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/getStarted/cupojava/win32.html#2c>
    I followed these instructions:
    
    "If you still have problems, you might have to change your CLASSPATH
    variable. To see if this is necessary, try "clobbering" the classpath
    with the following command:
    
    set CLASSPATH="
    
    "clobbering" fixed the problem, "java HelloWorldApp" worked fine.
    However, since I need to clobber the CLASSPATH variable I need to
    change it's value, but to what, pls?

  - singlethreadmodel vs. synchronizeI have a book that is explaining servlets and implements
    singlethreadmodel instead of using synchronize with wait and notify.
    does that only work with servlets? which is better?

  - Eclipse Tomcat Project StructureHi All,
    
    I am using Eclipse 3.0 with a Tomcat plug in.
    I am trying to create multiple web projects using Tomcats webapps
    directory. Eclipse will let me set up one project with under the webapps
    folder but when I try to add a new project I get the following error
    C:/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.30/webapps and C:/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.30/webapps
    overlap.
    
    This I am sure will have a simple explanation... I am thinking that it
    should be ok to work on multiple web projects with different names at the
    same time under Tomcats webapps folder ?
    
    Thanks in advance

  - free java datetimepickerhi,
    if you need a datetimepicker-control for java,
    you can find one on my side:
    http://www.software47.de/eng/software/datetimepicker/datetimepicker_en.htm
    it's absolutely free, you can use it as you like.
    since i was looking for a free datetimepicker myself, but found nothing, I
    wrote one the last days...
    If you find bugs or have ideas to better it up, let me know.
    Java 1.4 is needed! (because of frame.setundecorated...)
    kind regards wolfgang

    The Eclipse IDE is very huge and bloated. You might
    want to take a look at one of these alternatives:
    
    http://jedit.org
    
    Supports several development languages and a huge
    assortment of feature plugins. You can script out
    your own shell tools as macros and make them available
    as buttons on your toolbar.
    
    http://netbeans.org
    
    Similar to JEdit but with a GUI designer for Java apps.
    Also lots of plugins and multi-language support.
    
    The nice thing about having IDEs written in Java is
    the cross-platform support; using the same environment
    on any Java-enabled OS.

  - Tweaking DefaultTreeCellRendererHello,
    
    I'm implementing Drag & Drop for my JTree and I got everything working so far.
    
    There is only one thing that I'd like to add: I would like to highlight the node
    that is the current drop target somehow. I did manage to select the node
    during my dragEnter() and dragOver() events, but I'd rather not change the
    tree's selection during dragging.
    
    So I thought I could customize the TreeCellRenderer used. What I did is the
    following:
    
    I extended DefaultTreeCellRenderer and added a method to set the current drop
    target row. When creating my tree I set the new renderer as the tree renderer
    (which is working because I can see the methods beeing called when adding a
    System.out.println())
    
    The I overwrote getTreeCellRendererComponent(). Before calling the
    super.getTreeCellRendererComponent() I check if a drop target row is set, and if
    it is I pretend the cell is focused:
    
    public Component getTreeCellRendererComponent(JTree tree,
    Object value,
    boolean sel,
    boolean expanded,
    boolean leaf,
    int row,
    boolean hasFocus)
    {
    boolean drawFocus = hasFocus;
    if (this.dropTargetRow != -1 && row == this.dropTargetRow)
    {
    drawFocus = true;
    }
    return super.getTreeCellRendererComponent(tree, value, sel, expanded, leaf,
    row, drawFocus);
    }
    
    But this does not work. I have added debuggin code and the dropTargetRow
    variable is set and initialized correctly.
    
    What am I missing here? When I pass a hardcoded true or false to the super call,
    it does work (all nodes either always focused or never)
    
    Thanks for any input
    Thomas
