  - 2d String in a BoxHi,
    
    I want to draw a string of varying size inside a box.
    
    g.drawString("........string....", x, y)
    g.drawBox(x, y, w, h);
    
    -------
    |String| h
    -------
    w
    
    Is there a good way to calculate the size of the box?

  - Open File componentThe usual file open component on a form consists of a label describing
    the file, a text field that accepts a file name and a command button
    that brings up a file chooser.
    
    Is there a "standard" component that does this preferably a bean that
    can be added to NetBeans?

  - Getting images in appletI have an applet that reads jpg's. It works in AppletViewer but I get a
    permission block for reading the file when I load it in my browser (all the
    files in this case are local). How would I get permissions for it it to run
    in a browser, and what would I need to do if I were to upload this to a
    website?

  - About JEditorPaneI wrote a plugin to NetBeans 5.0 which displays html pages in a
    JEditorPane, when i clicked a file in explorer.
    JEditorPane is in the topcomponent class.Also JTree(Explorer) in a
    other topcomponent class.
    I use setPage(URL url) method. But its not working properly.That means
    the editor pane displays the html code of the file
    But i wrote it as standalone application, it displays correctly.
    Explain what is the problem here.

  - why "synchronized" with wait/notify ?I know the language requires it and what exaclty happens with
    wait/notify.
    
    BUT it appears that the whole wait notify protocol should work just as
    well without acquiring a monitor lock on the target object...
    
    I've read something about why we need to have a thread own a monitor on
    the object (key) that is waiting on, something about race condition.
    but icant wrap my head around it, could someone care to walk me through
    it please using a scenario where it would not work as expected.
    
    So why would this not work (logic- forget the illegal monitor state
    execption)
    ThreadA
    |
    |
    key.wait() //suspend threadA and add to waitset of key
    
    ThreadB
    |
    |
    key.notifyAlll; //Wake up one of the threads in the waitset of key

    Now this I didn't realize.
    
    I had no idea you had experience in teaching children? I have been
    looking for ideas to teach and stimulate desire to learn logic and
    mathmatics in younger children. It is my belief that subjects which are
    typically reserved for higher education such as trig, calculus, discrete
    math, deductive logic could all be started before children ever leave
    elementary. The trick would only be to interest the children, and present
    the material in a way that it could be absorbed.
    
    Can you offer any insight into this matter? Into teaching children how to
    make games? What engine did you use (I suppose you were using Java).

  - Getting ResultSet From Cursor Too SlowAll,
    
    I have a method that calls an Oracle Stored Procedure from an Oracle
    Package. Everything works fine but the last two lines in my code below
    where I get the Cursor from the procedure and cast it to a ResultSet is
    a huge bottleneck. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make this
    transition faster for large resultSets?
    
    Thanks in advance.

  - getBytes() returning too much dataHi,
    
    I'm running postgreSQL 7.2.1 and java se version 1.4.0_01
    
    I'm storing some images in the database as bytea. When I use
    result.getBytes() to fetch the data back it ends up being a larger
    size than that which is stored in the database. (I'm sure that the
    value stored in the database is the correct size) I was testing it out
    with a single entry in the table like this: -
    
    rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT imageid, name, gender, image,
    length(image) FROM images");
    
    And tried this: -
    
    System.out.println(rs.getInt(5));
    byte[] imgBytes = new byte[rs.getInt(5)];
    imgBytes = rs.getBytes(4);
    System.out.println(imgBytes.length);
    
    Even in this case where the first println displays the expected output
    the imgBytes array somehow ends up being about 10k too big (the size
    increase is consistent)
    
    Does anyone have any idea whats going on and how I might fix it?
    
    Thanks,

  - Eclipse + Tomcat plugin: problem with automatic class reloadingHi all,
    I am having a problem using the DevLoader that comes with the eclipse
    plugin for Tomcat from sysdeo.
    It is loading classes okay from locations.
    But it is not reloading them when they change.
    The reloading works okay for a class that is WEB-INF/classes.
    
    Here are the details:
    Versions:
    eclipse version 2.1.1
    eclipse Tomcat plugin V 2.2.1
    Tomcat version 4.1.29
    JDK 1.3.1_04
    
    I have extracted the DevLoader zip into [Tomcat Home]/server/classes
    directory.
    The tomcat server is using this DevLoader to load the classes.
    I set the debug level in my web-app Context in conf/server.xml for the
    loader to 4.
    (<Loader className="org.apache.catalina.loader.DevLoader"
    reloadable="true" debug="4"/> )
    Logging is redirected to the console.
    
    I can see output in the console that shows that it added my classes
    location:
    [DevLoader] added file:/C:/dev/workspace/Test/classes/
    
    This is the location to find a class ims.test.TestServlet.
    And it is able to find this class:
    
    WebappClassLoader: loadClass(ims.test.TestServlet, false)
    WebappClassLoader: Searching local repositories
    WebappClassLoader: findClass(ims.test.TestServlet)
    WebappClassLoader: findClassInternal(ims.test.TestServlet)
    WebappClassLoader: loadClass(javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet, false)
    WebappClassLoader: Delegating to parent classloader
    WebappClassLoader: Loading class from parent
    WebappClassLoader: Returning class class ims.test.TestServlet
    WebappClassLoader: Loaded by WebappClassLoader
    available:
    delegate: false
    repositories:
    /WEB-INF/classes/
    required:
    
    I find it strange that my location
    (file:/C:/dev/workspace/Test/classes/) is under the repositories.
    
    If change the code (recompile) ims.test.TestServlet it is NOT
    reloaded.
    However, if I have a class that is to be found in WEB-INF/classes
    e.g. I have a different class ims.TestServlet that is in
    WEB-INF/classes/
    
    WebappClassLoader: loadClass(ims.TestServlet, false)
    WebappClassLoader: Searching local repositories
    WebappClassLoader: findClass(ims.TestServlet)
    WebappClassLoader: findClassInternal(ims.TestServlet)
    WebappClassLoader: Returning class class ims.TestServlet
    WebappClassLoader: Loaded by WebappClassLoader
    available:
    delegate: false
    repositories:
    /WEB-INF/classes/
    required:
    
    Then if I change ims.TestServlet it IS reloaded.
    
    WebappClassLoader: Resource '/WEB-INF/classes/ims/TestServlet.class'

  - Switch on StringsHello, I have code that looks like this:
    
    switch(myColor){
    case "blue":
    {
    this.setForeground(Color.blue);
    break;
    }
    case "red":
    {
    this.setForeground(Color.red);
    break;
    }
    case "green":
    {
    this.setForeground(Color.green);
    break;
    }
    default:
    {
    this.setForeground(Color.blue);
    }
    }
    
    myColor is a String being read in from an HTML file PARAM line.
    The above code doesn't work, because switch doesn't work with strings.
    So I was wondering how else I can do this...

    employee name and title and those who earn more than 2000
    
    // I was trying to use a for loop ( int i = 0 ; i< employeeInfo.length ;

java-programmer, How can I see if I'm running from JAR? Hi all,

is it possible for a Java application identify if it is running
from a Jar file?
Any functions?

    So would you recommend the keywords be listed in logical sections, such
    as programming languages in one list, platforms in another list,
    application areas in another list, etc., or should I just mix all the
    unrelated keywords together in one huge alphabetical list to make it
    easy for the junior staff member to find the keywords he/she is looking
    for?
    
    Given my experience, which keywords from my various resumes should I
    keep, which should I flush, and which keywords do I not yet have but
    based on my experience I should include as synonyms for the non-keyword
    descriptions I already have? To save you the trouble of looking through
    my dozen resumes, here's the complete list currently:

    > assembler programming.
    
    Which is better keyword for that: assembler or assembly-language?
    Or should both be included in case the junior staff member is looking
    for the other one and doesn't realize they mean the same thing?
    
    (Splitting my reply here, in case anyone stopped reading at that list
    of keywords and wouldn't see the rest of the topics I'm discussing
    later in the second part of this reply.)

  - break removal
    Let's say you have some code like this:
    
    case 1:
    if ( x )
    if ( y )
    return a;
    else return b;
    else return c;
    
    break;
    
    Jva will insist you take out the break because it is not needed.
    
    then later you inadvertently meddle with the code say like this:
    
    case 1:
    if ( x )
    if ( y )
    return a;
    else return c;
    
    now you need the break back in there again, but of course Java wont't
    tell you.
    
    What is the best way to handle this to make sure you have covered all
    possibilites and that you truly can't ever fall through?
    
    You can't even put debug code in there to catch the problem. Java
    will make you take it out if the prgram is CURRENTLY working.

  - getConnection in strutsHi,
    
    I hope the question is addressed to the appropriate forum :)
    First of all I'd like to say I'm new to struts. My question is how
    should I getConnection to DB. I know how to read parameters for
    connection but I'd like to make conections more robust. I mean I should
    use ConnectionPool. I've some idea how to achieve it but..if I split my
    application into tiers (presentation, conntroller, bo and dao) how can I
    get Connection from DAO tier since I don't have access to server
    context. I'm looking for some advice how to cope with such problems. Of
    course I could pass in constructor these parameters but I don't think it
    was good solution.
    How did you solve problem with accessing db from your struts applications?

  - Dates in a sql StatementHello,
    I have the following sql statement:
    
    SELECT code,fname,lname FROM employee WHERE datestarted = '02/12/2001'
    
    This works fine when executed through dbaccess, but when I use JDBC to get a
    ResultSet nothing is returned.
    I am using JDBC.2.21.JC5, my back end eis is Informix Universal server.
    Also, the query executes fine when I remove the date part:
    
    SELECT code,fname,lname FROM employee
    
    Can any one tell me what am I doing wrong since I am new to JDBC.
    
    Thanks in advance.

  - Eclipse Internal Web Browser option disabledI am using Eclipse 3.1.1 for some reason
    Window->Preferences->General->Web Browser does not allow me to select
    the "Use internal Web browser" option. Only "Use external Web browser"
    underneath which nothing is listed. How do I enable or install the
    internal web browser? The radio check box is currently disabled.
    
    Thanks in advance.

  - any way to simulate HTML hot text to pop up a JOptionPane?Hi - I would like to put some HTML-look-like hot text inside JTextArea
    setText text so that clicking on the hot text words will pop up a
    JOptionPane message box. I want to do it by hot text so that: (1)
    users will be totally familiar with it from all their web browsing;
    and (2) the nearby text can be edited by me from time to time without
    worrying about what coordinates the hot text will move to. Is this
    possible in Java?

  - something about SSL?HI
    I am not quite understand SSL, but as i see so far, i need to put
    the two identical keystore files belong to server and client program.
    If somebody get that keystore file (which is very possible, because
    i just embed all my class files in a jar), he may able to write a
    client program to connect to my java server and do some hacking things.
    Why don't we just encrpt the transfer data by a key and that key is
    stay inside in both server/client code. I think it is much more
    security than SSLsocket because 1) no keystore file 2) no one is able
    to de-compile your class file and take your key(which stay in your
    code).
    
    Am i correct? If no, any better security solution for my server/client
    software?
    
    thanks

  - RedHat9 + Sun JDK 1.4.2_1 + NPTL = issuesThis is a multi-part message in MIME format.
    
    Hi,
    
    These 2 newsgroups (redhat.kernel.general, comp.lang.java.programmer)
    seem like the apropriate place for my contemplations, if I'm at the
    wrong place please direct me to the right one.
    
    I'm trying to get as many Java threads as possible running on my Linux
    box. Using RedHat 7.2 (2.4.18-24.7.xsmp) and with the right JVM (Sun
    1.4.2_1) parameters (-Xss, -Xms, -Xmx) I have a fairly stable production
    system that will scale up to 800 threads without significant problems.
    This however is not enough for me on the long run.
    
    I'm a loyal reader of The Volano Report [http://www.volano.com/report/]
    and The C10K problem [http://www.kegel.com/c10k.html] for some time now
    and after running across this victorious article about the latest JDK
    and the NPTL in RedHat9
    [http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/JavaTechandLinux/RedHat/]
    I thought that the scalability problem of Java on Linux was solved.
    After some testing (see attached Test.java) I was disappointed to see
    that after creating just a little under 3000 threads (that basically do
    nothing) the JVM threw this dreaded "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: unable
    to create new native thread" exception again while 'free' still reports
    loads of free memory. The -Xss, -Xms or -Xmx parameters to the JVM don't
    seem to do anything for me (any parameter value still causes the
    Exception at roughly 3000 threads).
    
    What gives? The article about the new JVM with the new RedHat promises a
    lot (eg. No limits on the number of threads), but when put into test
    does not yet deliver. Do I need to tweak kernel parameters to allow for
    more threads? If so, where do I do this?
    
    For those that wonder why I need so many threads; I run a java HTTPD
    where any request is a call to a servlet, each call needs a Thread. I
    handle a lot of requests. For the CPU this is not an issue, the calls
    are very thin. However, the Thread management in Linux does not seem to
    be suitable for this kind of scaling (yet?).
    
    I would be glad to come across someone with the same problem and other
    views on this issue. I've been working with Java for more than 5 years,
    starting on OS/2 and now using Linux as host OS. And my needs always
    seem to just a tad ahead of the possibilities.

  - JAXM DaemonI'm a J2EE newbie. I'm searching for the correct technology, within a
    J2EE framework (or not), to do this thing I need to do. I'm hoping one
    of you vets has done this already or has some good ideas.
    
    I need a daemon-like process or thread that fools the J2EE server-side
    environment into thinking that it is a user's browser. At a high
    level, his deamon will:
    - hold a session
    - process a cookie
    - issue commands via Web Services
    - recieve responses from the server side
    - manage a deterministic state based upon the messaging
    
    Is JAXM a good choice? It kinda seems from a cursory look at the
    architecture that JAXM clients talk to JAXM servers. Everybody knows
    they are JAXM, No?
    
    Please ask if I need to be more specific. Thanks.

  - Mono .netRecently I learned that Mono .net will run MS .net applications. This
    came as a bit of a suprise to me because I thought Mono was a different
    implenteation of .net and therefore incompatible.
    
    So this raises some interesting questions. Since Microsoft still
    retains copyrights and patents to .net is Mono .net governed by the
    MSDN EULA. Or can Microsoft revoke the license to the ECMA at a future
    date. If that were possible it would not seem inconcievable that
    Microsoft could theaten to withdraw if they did not agree to adhere to
    a MS EULA. On the otherhand Microsoft could demand a fee for each
    transaction. Awhile back Bill Gates said that Microsoft was not making
    enough money from the internet and wanted to use .NET as a chargeback
    mechanism to force them to pay 1 penny for each transaction.
    
    Alternatively speaking however Mono .NET could be used as a migration
    platform to move people to Linux. One possible advanate to Mono .NET is
    that SE Linux gives the administrator more granularity to lock down the
    OS.
    
    In any case there is a lot to ponder.

    After the expiration date the certificate
    cannot be used to sign applications.
    
    The date has no implications for the execution
    of already signed applications.
