 - Jedit: Error about MouseWheelListenerI installed the same Jedit archive on Windows and on HP-UX (with
 JavaVM-1.3). On
 Windows, it runs fine. On Unix, I get the following error message on
 startup:
 
 java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java/awt/event/MouseWheelListener
 
 Could it be that something is missing in my CLASSPATH? Where is the
 MouseWheelListener
 supposed to be? I thought this class was added in 1.4, but note that
 the
 installation notes for JEdit say that it can run under Unix with Java
 1.3.

 - [?] Struts looses authenticate informations ?Hi,
 
 I'm trying to make my first struts application and I'm fighting with
 authentication and roles.
 
 I've only one jsp page (index.jsp) that prints authentication type ("BASIC")
 and user roles.
 <%
 authentication+="Authentication " + request.getAuthType();
 
 if (request.isUserInRole("ADMIN")) { role += "ADMIN; " ; }
 if (request.isUserInRole("USER")) { role += "USER; " ; }
 %>
 ----------------------------------------------------
 <%= authentication %>
 <%= "ROLES : " + role %>
 ----------------------------------------------------
 
 
 Then there's an empty form with a "submit" button.
 
 <html:form action="/index">
 <html:submit value="SUBMIT" />
 </html:form>
 
 the execute method in action is the following :
 
 public ActionForward execute(
 ActionMapping mapping,
 ActionForm form,
 HttpServletRequest request,
 HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
 
 String forward = "index";
 return mapping.findForward(forward);
 }
 
 When I enter my application the first time it shows exactly authentication
 BASIC and ROLES : ADMIN
 but when I press "submit" it shows "authentication NULL" and "ROLES : "
 
 I'm using tomcat 4.1.18 (I also tried .24 and .27 !) and struts 1.1
 
 WHERE' S THE ERROR ??
 
 Thanks

 - Write PNG from MemoryImageSourceI have an application which dynamically generates images using
 MemoryImageSource to produce a java.awt.Image object. I'd like to be
 able to write these images out as pngs.
 
 I've found the javax.imageio class which will write out pngs, but only
 from a BufferedImage and not from a basic Image. I've not been able to
 find a way to create a BufferedImage from an Image.
 
 Can anyone suggest how I can write out these images?
 
 Cheers
 
 Simon.

 - Drawing on TabsHi all - I have an application where my main frame has a tabbed interface,
 and each tab has a JPanel.
 
 I would like to draw a line graph on the second tab (the first tab is where
 data is entered) and a bar graph on the second tab.
 
 The problem I have is how to draw on the second or 3rd tabs.
 
 I googled and one solution was to subclass the JPanel and then override the
 paintComponent() method. I tried but it doesn't seem to work. I am probably
 just doing it wrong.
 
 How would I go about defining/extending the JPanel class? or is there some
 other container that would serve this purpose better?
 
 Any help is appreciated.

 - Java is a third class language.Hi Mark Thornton,
 
 Re: Windows' GDI for easily writing to any raster device
 using essentially the same code,
 regardless of the printer or the screen.
 
 You asserted,
 " Not only does it work well ( in Java )
 it also supports some features ( e.g. anti-aliasing )
 which may not be available on the OS. "
 
 Even if that were true ( and I highly doubt it ),
 Java still couldn't do it with out the OS.
 
 Java Overlays an OS, it doesn't replace it.
 
 Java is a third class language.
 No one would use it if they didn't have other options.

 - deploying multiple instances of same application (.war file) on tomcat 5.5We have a web application running on tomcat 5.5 that works fine when
 deployed independently. However, we would like to deploy multiple
 instances of the same application on the same server. We have built a
 new war file of the same application with a different name including a
 new context file for the application. This new war file also runs fine
 independently but, when deployed along with the original application,
 generates a Java Heap Space error.
 
 Is there a special way to deploy multiple instances of the same
 application on the same server using Tomcat?
 
 Please help us! Thank you!!!

 - ResourceBundle with Database BackendHi all,
 
 We're busy creating a web application that needs different localization.
 ResourceBundles would probably be the best thing to use for this. However,
 we would like to use a database as the backend for the ResourceBundle.
 This would make changing and adding translated strings much easier. We
 would like our client to be able to do this himself, using a front end we
 will write.
 
 From what I understand of ResourceBundles, we would have to create a
 ResourceBundle class for each translation. We'd like to create just one
 subclass of ResourceBundle however, which handles all translations. Is
 this possible? I can't find any examples of how this should work..
 
 thanks for thinking along, please tell me if my question isn't completely
 clear or something like that,

java-programmer, Problem was javax.comm.ParallelPort 's getOutputStream() -ed objects write() method. HERE goes ANSWER To all, who tryed to send tada to Parallel port using javax.comm api.
I had the same problem at home when I wrote program.
Then I went to my working place and tested my program, - the problem
remained - program hanged forever after sending bytes to parallel port.
I had tryed almost everything at home, so the way could be only one -
PRINTER and SO THAT WAS ENDEED!!!
I turned printer on and bytes went away :) program worked fine!

So, as we could see Windows platforms (and maybe others too) block all
outgoing signals to the ports from where OS does not get or receive the
signal that means the port is alive (=something is connected to that
port).

That was one more good lesson for me.

If this helped somebody, let me know.

 - annoying eclipse automatisms (resource copying)I really like Eclipse as Java editing platform, but now I want to do
 the following:
 
 I have a directory with not only self-written Java sources but also
 some non-Java source files (namely parser/lexer constructed in
 CUP/JLex). From this, I generate Java sources which land in the same
 directory. Now when I build this directory from Eclipse it persists in
 copying my non-Java sources to the output directory. While this
 doesn't exactly cause any malfunction, it does disturb my cleanly
 nature ;)
 
 What options would you suggest to keep the structure clean? I think
 setting up yet another directory for the CUP/JLex sources would be
 rather impractical.
 
 Thanks,
 Justin

 - J2EE Log File Monitoring SolutionI would like to build/use a J2EE solution to run on WebLogic 8.1 that will
 monitor certain log files, extract data based on certain rules, and to
 display them on a webpage.
 
 The solution would probably have a front-end (JSPs/servlet(s)) that
 communicates with one or more Servlets to specify the what data needs to be
 extracted, and then the front-end would format this.
 
 For example, I may be monitoring the log file from my application server
 which may contain Java stack traces, and I may be interested in a particular
 exception that occurred. In this case, I would want the front-end to tell me
 when the error occurred, and possibly allow me to drill down to see the
 relevant section of the log file.
 
 In another case, I would be monitoring an XML file, and I would want to
 extract certain bits of information from it, but with the option to extend
 the monitoring system to display more pieces of information. I.e. today, I
 may be interested in XML elements X,Y and Z, but tomorrow, the format of the
 XML may change, and I would want to be able to adjust my front-end to deal
 with this.
 
 There will probably be no more than 10 log files being monitored, each of
 which will not be more than 50MB. Usually, they will be more around the
 1-10MB size. As mentioned, the monitoring system will need to run on
 WebLogic 8.1, so any J2EE 1.4 or WebLogic 8.1-specific libraries can be
 used.
 
 Can anyone suggest some architectural approaches that could be used to
 achieve this? Pointers to tools, libraries etc. would also be useful.
 
 Thanks.

 - Using JMF to build rtsp serverHi, I'd like to know if it's possible to create a server application
 that transmits a .rm file through rtsp. I've seen some examples using
 AVI and other standard formats, but I'm not sure if this is possible.
 Basically what I need is a server which waits for connections and
 transmit a .rm file to it. Of course I could use Helix, but I need
 something for free. In any case, is there any free alternative?

 - MIDP 1.0: Filled rectanglesHello!
 
 I'm beginning to develop a 3D game for J2ME mobile phones. The obvious
 problem is, how to draw filled triangles. I know that in MIDP 2.0 this
 can be done easily, and Nokia has an extension to MIDP 1.0 which
 allows to draw filled polygons. Now the problem is how to do it in
 plain MIDP 1.0 (say, on a Motorola T720 or SonyEricsson T610). I
 thought of two solutions:
 
 * Use two or three fillArc() invocations. Each of them would paint an
 arc which has a center in one triangle vertex. The arcs can be scaled
 so that they cover the whole triangle and never paint outside the
 triangle. Or perhaps even one arc can be used which approximates the
 triangle well, especially when it's small.
 
 * Divide the triangle into horizontal and vertical lines and draw them
 using drawLine().
 
 The second method requires (or at least appears to require) more code,
 and uses much more drawing operations than the first, so it seems to
 be slower. But on the other hands, perhaps scaling the arc and
 painting it would be much time-consuming?
 
 If you have any experience or insight about this problem, I'd be very
 grateful.
 
 Regards,
 Michau.

 - newbie question: processing large database in chunks?
 Hi,
 
 When I
 select * from XX
 I'm geting an OutOfMemoryError. I'm using JDBC with Mysql,
 and calls like:
 
 ResultSet rs = dbc.executeQuery("select * from thetable");
 
 My beginner's question: what's the right way to read and process the
 table in chunks, to avoid running out of memory?
 
 Is using LIMIT n1,n2 inside the query the right thing to do, giving
 e.g. LIMIT 1,100 followed by another query using LIMIT 101,200, etc?
 Is there a more efficient way?
 
 I guess I'm surprised that it's even necessary. I would have thought
 that the data would stay on the server until pulled to the client
 by resultset.next() and a resultset.getXX(). But evidently
 the whole table is being sent to the client??

 fine (followed what I read in
 http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2003/06/25/commons.html?page=3)
 
 only thing I would like to know is, is it possible to upload more than
 one file at a time? (I mean is it possible to write code so in "choose
 file" dialog you can select more than one file?)
 
 I asked in jakarta.commons listserv (gmane.comp.jakarta.commons.user)
 about two days ago, but well, still haven't gotten response (and am not
 even sure whether this is strictly a jakarta.commons.FileUpload question
 or a general java question..) thank you.. Frances

 Look, I understand your points, and they are good ones. Boiled down,
 they are essentially "Don't try to outsmart the look and feel; it knows

 This is not a look and feel issue, however. I don't have a problem with

 and feel. I don't have a problem with look and feel implementations
 period. I have a problem with exactly what components I should use to
 represent particular information.
 
 I have never seen a property sheet that displays information about a
 live object somewhere that uses /disabled/ components to show "enabled"
 information. Non-editable components? Sure. But that's different. If
 a component is disabled, that means you aren't really supposed to look
 at it, or it is not applicable in some other way. Those are NOT the
 semantics I wish my UI in this case to convey. I wish simply to convey
 that X is the current value for property Y, and nothing else.
 
 Again, I thank you for your obviously hard work on this subject.
 
 Cheers,
 Laird

 - questions about the implications of multiple JFrames using dispose() on closingHi
 
 I've come up against some perplexing questions caused by the creation
 of multiple instances of JFrame.
 
 obj is referencing a JButton click. This then loads a FileDialog for
 opening an image and displaying it in an extended JFrame called
 'ResizeFrame'. JFrame then loads a panel which displays the Image. The
 code as it stands allows multiple instances of ResizeFrame.
 
 ResizeFrame basically does most of the work and calls methods to load
 the Image - which has been opened in it - to be drawn in ResizePanel.
 
 ResizeFrame is coded to 'dispose' on closing.
 
 What I am trying to understand is what happens when a frame is opened,
 then closed, and then a new frame is opened. Does the instance of
 ResizeFrame (all named the same) that was initially opened, still
 exist, or has it been over-written by the new version.
 
 Am I making a mistake allowing several JFrames to be opened at once? I
 know that when a frame is disposed that its claims on screen resourses
 are freed up - but if it is still existing even after it has been
 disposed it must still be using some memory resources?
 
 Also, what are the implications of having several objects existing with
 the same name?
 
 Another thing I've noticed. My ResizeFrame has a method for loading a
 panel and then is made visible within ResizeFrame. What I've noticed is
 that if I load a ResizeFrame Image, then close it, then open up the
 same image file - that the picture will appear much faster than if I
 open up a different image. I'm not understanding how this is happening!
 
 I could change my code so that it is only possible to have 1
 ResizeFrame open at a time - however this would require a considerable
 amount of simplification (i.e. beyond my hackish skills!). I would only
 do it if I am convinced that the way I have done things is BAD with a
 capital B (which it probably is - but then I am a very inexperienced
 programmer).
 
 Thanks for any advice.
 
 Michael

 - pasting images from excel with transparency have a black backgroundHi There,
 
 I've searched on this topic, but have only found an unanswered post
 from 2003. Basically, if I copy a chart from excel (well, from a
 number of vector based packages it seems) that has transparency, the
 resulting image in java has had the transparency replaced with black.
 
 However, if you paste the chart into word, select it and then copy it,
 it will paste into java with no problems.
 
 I've searched the java bug database, but have had not luck.
 
 To repeat this, simply create a chart in excel, set it's background to
 fill:none and copy the chart. Then run the class below and press the
 button.
 
 I am running Office 2002 and using Sun JDK 1.5.07
 
 Any help much appreciated on this as it's driving me nuts.
 
 Thanks,
 Brian

 - SimpleDateFormat problemHi, I'm beating my head against this with no avail.
 
 Can someone tell me why this fails? The parsed date's getTime() has some
 extra highorder bits set.
 
 DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("mm:ss:SSS");
 
 String s = df.format(new Date(500));
 assertTrue(df.parse(s).equals(new Date(500)));
 
 Thanks!

 - Controlling XML elements orderHi I'm returning an XML to my clients (SOAP). Now I want to order the
 items in my XML (I dont want my clients to sort it) is there any API
 in DOM that I can use for sorting the elements some way ? or simply
 preserving the sort order of that that I added items to the DOM tree?
 (I'm adding the items in a sorted way however when I look at the XML
 generated its not sorted)
