- Q: Possible to auto-fallback back to MS JVM from Sun JVM ?Hi all.
Ok, so it's no secret, MS can no longer distribute its Java VM with
its OS'.
Naturally, that didn't stop me from installing an old one so
WindowsUpdate would see it and upgrade it to the last (MS) build:
5.00.3810
I also installed the latest SUN Java VM (1.4.2_03)
*** Flash ***
Woaaaah!! Just saw their "Law & Order" game
(http://java.com/en/index.jsp)
Gotta try that!
*** End Flash ***
So what I want in fact, is to use SUN's VM as default, but to
automatically switch back to MS' VM for those sites that still use it
(for example, my bank still uses it, so I can't issue payments if Sun
is default -- annoying).
Of course, this can be done manually in "Set Program Access and
Defaults" in hte Window scontrol panel, but you have to select one or
the other.
Same with Sun's Java Plug-in control panel (Advanced tab).
So... is there a way to perform an auto-fall-back to MS JVM when an
applet cannot load/initialise with the Sun JVM ?
Or create a list of site which must use MS instead of Sun?
Any help appreciated.

- Override prepareRenderer()I've gathered that in order to change the background color of a row,
one can either use the tablecellrenderer or can override the
prepareRenderer() method. I have chosen to override the
prepareRenderer() method. My question (and a reather silly one) is
exactly how to call this method to then color your rows.
I already have a jtable with is autogenerated by netbeans and all of
the code I've seen, the jtable is created programmatically.
Here is what I TRIED to do (any help is greatly appreciated):
public void updateGUI(String newValue){
DefaultTableModel errorTableModel = (DefaultTableModel)
parentScreen.jTableErrors.getModel();
int numRows = errorTableModel.getRowCount();
numRows++;
errorTableModel.setRowCount(numRows);
parentScreen.jTableErrors.setModel(errorTableModel);
Object newObjectError = (Object) newValue;
parentScreen.jTableErrors.setValueAt(newObjectError, numRows - 1, 0);
JTable coloredTable = new JTable( errorTableModel )
{
public Component prepareRenderer(
TableCellRenderer renderer, int row, int column)
{
Component c = super.prepareRenderer(renderer, row, column);
String message = (String) getValueAt(row, column);
String[] dividedMsg = message.split(":");
if(dividedMsg[0].equals("Error: ")){
this.setBackground(Color.RED);
}
else{
this.setBackground(Color.YELLOW);
}
return c;
}
};
parentScreen.jTableErrors = coloredTable;
}

- writing email attachment file to diskI'm trying to capture an email attachment and write it to disk.
I've coded the following lines in my attempt. The program seems
to run and creates the local file alex99.pdf. However, when I
tried to open it, it says it's corrupted and/or wasn't properly
decoded. Any ideas?
Properties props = new Properties();
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
Store store = session.getStore("pop3");
store.connect(host, username, password);
Folder folder = store.getFolder("inbox");
folder.open(Folder.READ_ONLY);
Message message[] = folder.getMessages();
for (int i = 0, n = message.length; i < n; i++) {
System.out.println(i + ": " + message[i].getFrom() + "\t"
+ message[i].getSubject());
Object obj = message[i].getContent();
if (obj instanceof String) {
System.out.println(">>>plain text");
} else if (obj instanceof Multipart) {
System.out.println("Multipart");
Multipart mp = (Multipart) obj;
System.out.println("mp count = " + mp.getCount());
for (int j = 0, nn = mp.getCount(); j < nn; j++) {
Part part = mp.getBodyPart(j);
String disposition = part.getDisposition();
if ((disposition != null)&& ((disposition.equals(Part.ATTACHMENT) ||
(disposition.equals(Part.INLINE))))) {
System.out.println("attachment");
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("alex99.pdf");
part.writeTo(fos);
} else if (disposition==null) {
MimeBodyPart mbp = (MimeBodyPart)part;
if (mbp.isMimeType("text/plain")) {
System.out.println("text/plain");
} else {
System.out.println("other mime type");

- Choosing elements to display in a JSP using StrutsHello,
I am very new to everything web development, so please bear with me.
My development environment is:
Win2k
Tomcat 4.0.30
Apache 2.0.48
mod_jk/2.0.4
j2sdk 1.4.2
Struts 1.1
mysql 4.0.18
I am using Struts to develop my webapp in an MVC fashion. I am using
forms based authentication to a mysql database.
Using the tools in my development environment, I am wondering if it is
possible to choose the elements displayed in a JSP based on the group
the user is in (and still stay withing the MVC framework), or if that
is even the right approach. I prefer to not show options to users if
they do not have permissions to perform them.
Any suggestions or advice would be great. If you know of any
tutorials/books/web resources that you could point me to, that would
be fantastic as well.
Thanks in advance.

- hide NullPointerExceptionI have a GUI which throws a nullpointerexception when things go wrong.
Then it closes. That nullpointerexception is expected and I want it
ignored since before that it has already informed the user that
something has gone wrong and its closing. How can I do this? If I just
put the part of the function throwing the exception within try/catch,
it tends to hang. If I leave it as is, it throws the exception but
closes fine. I just don't want the user to see that exception.

- drag and drop in a JMenu/JMenuItem
Can someone please point me to some sample code that allows drag and
drop in a JMenu/JMenuItem. I know that Java doesn't support dnd in
the menu stuff, but I need it anyway. Technically speaking it doesn't
have to be a popup menu, but would be nice, as long as it has the look
and feel of a popup menu (i.e. fonts, size, etc.). An example of what
I'm talking about, via menus, is the start menu under Windows. Those
menus allow you to do dnd, but of course it's Windows and they allow
anything and everything. Just to note I'm using JDK 1.5.x if that
helps for the code direction.

- stupid genericsWhen I first heard about generics I was excited. A great idea finally
available in Java. But the way they are implemented really makes no sense.
Because of type erasure generics do nothing that 1.4 code didn't already do
by using Object as "generic" class for all (sub)classes.
And the problem with arrays of generic classes? Simply ridiculous. There
is no sane reason why the following code (from a self-learning chess
program I've been working on) should not work, and yet...
ArrayList<Piece>[] board;
board = new ArrayList<Piece>[8]; // error: cannot create a generic
// array of ArrayList<Piece>
board[0] = new ArrayList<Piece>();
board[0].add(0, new Rook(false, 0, 8));
where of course Rook is a subclass of Piece.
I'm forced to use board = new ArrayList[8]; which of course gives an
unchecked warning.
They should just throw away the whole generics thing and replace it with a
C++ like approach.

- Hot-deployment of EAR/JAR files using classloaders (on JBoss app server)Hi,
I am trying the following scenario:
- I deploy an app.ear into the jboss server.
- app.ear invokes a session bean deployed separately (sessionbean.jar)
- everything works fine
- I modify sessionbean.jar
- I redeploy it without restarting the server (hot deployment)
When app.ear invokes the sessionbean, it refers to the previous instance of
the sessionbean. And because I have replaced it, it does not find the
class...
Then I read on, and I find that if you write custom class loaders, you can
load new versions of classes on the fly (dynamic loading).
So I wrote a custom class loader, which works fine when I call a basic java
library, but there does not seem to be a way of 'redeploying' this
sessionbean.jar as a bean (you can't invoke it anymore with the home/remote
interface)....
Can someone help me here ? I am basically trying to redeploy beans without
redeploying the app server and having them immediately rebind to whichever
application needs to use them.
Thanks

- design problem: visitor/multiple dispatch or?Greetings and salutations,
I'm struggling with a bit of a mess (solely created by me and myself).
Suppose a bunch of types (classes) exist, say, T_1, T_2, ... T_n, implementing
a single interface or inheriting from some (abstract) base class T. Also assume
that some 'applicators' exit, say, A_1, A_2 ... Am, all implementing an interface
(or abstract base class) equivalent to --
interface Applicator {
Object apply(T ta, T tb);
}
If both sets T_i and A_j are 'fixed', i.e no new classes T_p nor A_q enter
my messy arena, I could implement all A_i as visitors to the T_j classes
in order to get their job done. OTOH, all T_j classes could double dispatch
the 'A_i.apply' methods to their T_j counterparts to get the job done.
I realise that some form of a Cartesian product of 'apply' methods must
reside somehwere, somehow ...
For the sake of the example, think of the T_j as being subclasses of classes
Short, Int, Long, Double, and let the Appliers be something like 'Add', 'Sub'
etc. i.e. the folllowing code snippet should make sense --
Add myAdd= new Add();
Dbl myDbl= new Dbl(41);
Int myInt= new Int(1);
// assume Num is a superclass of Dbl and Int
Num total= myAdd.apply(myDbl, myInt);
Variable 'total' should have type 'Dbl' in this example. As I wrote above,
there would be no problem if at least set T_j would be fixed; the visitor
pattern would do fine. If set A_i would be fixed the multiple dispatch
pattern (over the set T_j) would be a fine fit. But what to do if both sets
may be expanded?
I've fiddle-diddled with introspection, synthesizing class names given a T_i
and T_j, caching them in hashmaps but to no avail -- my code is a mess and
my design is something I'm ashamed off. I would really appreciate it if
some kind soul here could enlighten me.
TIA, and kind regards,
Jos

- Changing log level at runtimeYou know the situation: logging output is useless .. until you need it.
Is there a way to configure log4j in a web application or an EJB with
log level ERROR and have it change to DEBUG whenever an error happens?
The only thing I can imagine is having a special servlet that you have
to call with the browser to have it trigger a log level change for the
whole web application.
Are there better ways? Maybe with the jdk built-in logger?
Or with log4j JMX? But I could not find any docs or examples.
Thx,
Juergen

- getDocumentBase and getCodeBase not recognized...Hi, Im having a slight problem.
I am trying to load an image object with the code below, and I am NOT
extending Applet in my class because I am working on an application.
The problem is that getCodeBase AND getDocumentBase are not being
recognized by my application, however I am sure that the required jars
are in the build path... and that I've referenced them... most likely
inapproprirately.
My code is set up like this
Base\
Base\graphics\img.gifs.
Code follows, I trimmed the imports mostly off, but the rest appear
below the code...
Thanks for your advice.

String strImageUp = "graphics/up.gif";
URL urlUp = getClass().getResource(strImageUp);
Image imgUp = null;
try {
MediaTracker m = new MediaTracker(this);

- Question about Database Connection PoolsHi Newsgroup,
i have written an Objectpool for Database connections. All locked
connections are stored within a Vector (called _used) and all unlocked
connections are stored within a second Vector (called _unused).
Now consider the following situation:
------------------- code ---------------------------------------
DbConnectionPool pool = new DbConnectionPool( driver, url, user, passwd);
Connection dbcon = pool.getConnection();
int sizeUsed = pool.getUsed(); // returns 1, thats ok
// ...
// ... lets do some actions with dbcon ....
// ...
// ... programmer does not notice
// ... that dbcon is still in use.
// ... so he checks out a new connection
//
dbcon = pool.getConnection();
sizeUsed = pool.getUsed(); // return 2, uppps!!!
------------------- code ---------------------------------------
Because the programmer checks out a new connections, two database
connections are now marked as _used.
Is there any possibility to avoid such situations?
Thank you in advance

- synchronize vs gateI have a singleton in a web service that provides a collection and
self-updates it on a periodic basis:
doSelfUpdate()
create temporary collection (time consuming)
syncronize
update temporary collection from current collection (fast)
create temporary reference 'old' to current collection
point current collection reference to temporary collection
end syncronize
do stuff with 'old' collection (time consuming)
done
getCollection()
synchronize
just waiting on monitor
end synchronize
return collection
done
It seems to me each thread accessing the getCollection method must
wait on the monitor every time it is accessed -- which is not what I
want. I just want to open and close the gate for a few milliseconds
while the self-update is being done. What do y'all think about
something like this:
boolean isBusy=false;
doSelfUpdate()
create temporary collection
isBusy=true;
update temporary collection from current collection
create temporary reference 'old' to current collection
point current collection reference to temporary collection
isBusy=false;
do stuff with 'old' collection
done
getCollection()
maxWait=10000
waited=0
while(isBusy && waited <maxWait) {
waited+=500
if(waited>=MaxWait) log error;
wait 500
}
return collection
done
IMHO this means each thread consuming getCollection is a tiny bit
slower because it has a condition that must be tested, but as a group
they are not waiting in line for the monitor. Is this right?

- How to simulate a busy taskHi everybody,
I was trying to perform some tests in a multithreading application and
I would like to simulate overloading. That is, I want to simulate
threads performing a task that takes a certain time T. I have thought
of the following possibilities:
-Implement a method that sleeps during T milliseconds. Problem: this
does not overload the computer, during those T milliseconds other
agents can execute.
-Implement a method that performs a busy wait (while(true){...}) and
exits when T milliseconds have passed. Problem: there could be context
switches in between, and so it could happen that another thread
executes in the meantime (and that execution time should not count to
decide when to terminate the busy wait).
-Similar to the previous approach, but we try to count the milliseconds
elapsed "by hand". That is, in every iteration we obtain the
System.currentTimeMillis() and count as much as 1 millisecond (if it is
really at least 1 millisecond greater than the value measured in the
previous iteration). In this way, if the thread is interrupted while
executing the method, nothing happens because we count at most 1
millisecond per iteration. This does not work either too well, because
more than 1 millisecond could have been elapsed between measures.
So I'm not really sure if I can do this with some precision. If you
have any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks in advance,
S.

- Alternatives to Cobra for GUI<->Backend I/F ?Hi there
Im working on an existing system which has a backend written in C/C++
and we are using J2SE for the GUI forend. The backend end forend can
be on different systems/platforms. Current we are using CORBA as the
interface which works ok but it is tedious having to implement C++
impl's and then also do the same in the java code. One of the problems
is that we are continually adding new interfaces and modify existing
ones. Its my impression that CORBA is more useful for more stable
interfaces possibly between different vendors software.
Are there any other technologies that it may be worth me looking into.
It struck me that plain old CGI may be an alternative, and I've been
told that SOAP maybe a way forward, there are probably others I don't
know anything about and have never heard of. Any views on this matter
would be great as Im a little out of touch because there are so many
new technologies out there now days.
Cheers

- Implementing an interface in eclipseUsing IntelliJ, I would be able to implement an interface whilst having
it open in the editor. You could open the context window using the
keyboard and choose to implement interface and magically the
implementation appears complete with the statement "... implements
SomeInterface"

that New Class window and manually choose the interface?

- Javascript problem - I don't know what to do about it?!?!Here is the script I have in my page :
<!-- Begin
function popUp(URL) {
day = new Date();
id = day.getTime();
eval("page" + id + " = window.open(URL, '" + id + "',
'toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=194,height=146,left
= 440,top = 288');");
}
// End -->
</script>
It opens a new window when the user clicks on a certain link.
Well, somewhere else in the page, I embeded a flash media object and
found out now that everytime the page opens, the pop up window opens
too which is NOT what I want. I want the Popup window to only open
when the user clicks on a text link (which it did work perfectly until
I put in the flash object).
So why is the flash object calling the popup window instead of just
playing like it is supposed to?
