- Forcing swing gui to be drawnHey, right now I have a program that analyzes an EKG when a button is
clicked. I want to pop up a progress bar in a new frame to show how far
it is, but I'm having problems. I can create the frame, and it will
appear, but it won't draw the progress bar until it is done executing
all of the other commands.
I ahve tried opening the frame with a separate thread, but it resulted
in the same problem. I guess there must be some draw queue that is on a
low priority, but I really have no idea why it isn't working.
Any help would be great... I show this at a science fair in 2 days.
Thanks!

- java 6 used in large companies?hi..
we are a large company considering the move from java 1.4 to either 5
or 6.
at the same we are upgrading to was6 (or maybe jboss 4), we are
interested to learn if there are any major projects on enterprise
level involving java 6 (including the use of it's web services
framework).

- Response cache on the application serverIs it a good thing to cache the search result?
The metadata for our system can be as much as 100,000
I am trying to enable the response cache on the web server.
However, I am thinking about the problem i might meet.
When you cache the search result, is it possible the other
person throw the same condiiton and see the same result?
With our system there some security set for each row, so
if this happens there is a security leak.

- Error passing Element to web serviceI'm upgrading from WebLogic 6.1 to WebLogic 8.1 SP 4.
We used to specify weblogic.soap.http.SoapInitialContextFactory and
weblogic.soap.encoding.factory to lookup the web service in the client.
Well, the SoapInitialContextFactory and CodecFactory classes are no
longer around. So now I've used clientgen to generate the stubs and
here is my client code:
MyWebService service = new MyWebService_Impl(wsdlurl);
MyWebServicePort port = service.getMyWebServicePort();
Element result = port.processIt(theElement);
However, I get the following error calling processIt:
java.rmi.RemoteException: web service invoke failed:
javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: failed to serialize interface
org.w3c.dom.Element weblogic.xml.schema.binding.SerializationException:
Failed to serialize Document due to the following error
weblogic.xml.stream.XMLStreamException: The local name of an attribute

Caused by: weblogic.xml.schema.binding.SerializationException: Failed

weblogic.xml.stream.XMLStreamException: The local name of an attribute
cannot be null
at
weblogic.xml.schema.binding.internal.builtin.DocumentCodec.serialize(DocumentCodec.java:76)
...
Here's the schema and xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace="http://myproject.org/myproject_test.xsd"
xmlns:myproject_test="http://myproject.org/myproject_test.xsd"
elementFormDefault="qualified">
<element name="TEST">
<complexType>
<sequence>
<element ref="TEST_ID"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
</element>
</complexType>
<element name="TEST_ID" type="string"/>
</schema>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<TEST xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="http://myproject_test.xsd"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://myproject.org/myproject_test.xsd"
file:///N:/myproject/metadata/myproject_test.xsd">
<TEST_ID>ABCD1234</TEST_ID>
</TEST>
I've been testing with this bare minimum schema so that I can change
the namespaces and other things easily. The one and only thing that's
made a difference is when I take out the namespace stuff from the xml
file, it does get sent to the server. I.E.:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<TEST>
<TEST_ID>ABCD1234</TEST_ID>
</TEST>
However, I can't leave it like that because the server doesn't know
what to do with it. Also, when the server tries to send the response,
it gets the same error as above.
weblogic.xml.stream.XMLStreamException: The local name of an attribute
cannot be null
at
weblogic.xml.babel.adapters.DOMAdapter.adaptAttribute(DOMAdapter.java:113)

org.w3c.dom.Element weblogic.xml.schema.binding.SerializationException:
Failed to serialize Document due to the following error
weblogic.xml.stream.XMLStreamException: The local name of an attribute
cannot be null
The web service also returns an Element, but it's a different type from
a different schema, which I haven't touched. So the server is having
the same problem as the client.
If I change the web service to receive and return only strings, it
works fine. But I haven't been able to figure out why it won't work
for the Element. Does this sound like a problem with my WebLogic
configuration, the schemas/xml files, the web service, the client? Is
there a way to tell what attribute it is complaining about?
Thanks,

I hate to followup my own post, but I've been looking at this problem
again and I'm really just unhappy with how it works. Since this can so
easily be solved under Solaris, and Lew (I think?) mentioned that this is
all JVM dependent. I was hoping somebody could point me to a JVM that
runs under Linux that supports the -XX:UseBoundThreads option or something
similar. I want a 1:1 mapping between native threads and Java threads and
I just can't seem to get it.
Does anyone have any idea? (BTW, I checked IBM's JVM).

- Parsing a test fileI'm pretty new to Java and have been assigned to parse a log file.
The file is tab delimited. I have several tokens that I need to look
for. I have to find all the rows that have "290" then check a column
within that row. That value must match a pattern. The pattern will be
stored in a db table, so the user can add muliple patterns. That item
will then be placed in a new file.
A good example would be awesome.
Thanks.

- Java Chat Recording.Hi,
A website I use has a chat room and it's chatter-side interface is a Java
application. The comments chatters post come thick and fast and, although
there is a scoll bar, it's no good scrolling down to see comments missed,
as, as soon as a new comment is posted, all the comments scroll up to it.
There is no cut-and-paste/recording facility. As it's possible to scroll
up and down the comments, there must be somewhere where the comments are
held. Would this be just in some sort of video buffer, a
constantly-appended file on my PC's disk drive or just in memory? Is there
any way to record the conversations? Have the output from the Java
application redirected to a file, etc?
Thanks in advance.
Yours,
Gary Hayward.

- OutOfMemory and Swap SpaceI have this strange issue with an Out Of Memory error thrown on a Sun
JVM 1.4.1 residing on a Windows 2000 box.
The Windows boxes is configured to have 4 GB physical RAM out of which
2 GB is available to applications on their server. ( Based on this
article at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/memory/base/4gt_ram_tuning.asp
)
Out of this 2 GB , we have 3 JVMs of heap size at 768 M. Thich means a
total of 2034 Megs allocated only to Java processes implying a 2048 -
2034 = 14 Megs left for other applications and most importantly swap
space.
I have -verbose:gc logs that tell me that initially a couple of full
GCs happen followed by a monotonically increasing scavenges and just
before the OOM some hectic full GCs happen apparently to reclaim some
memory but never do.
How important is the consideration of Swap Space in troubleshooting
such an error. Since this is a production environment, I just wanted to
have an idea before I go ahead and recommend a decrease in the heap
sizes for this environment.
Your assitance is greatly appreciated.

- Java Native Interface - passing parameter array of different datatypesGreets!
Yesterday I googled for hours to find a tutorial how to call Java
methods from C++ native code. Unfortunately I didn't find anything
useful, the Java JNI documentation doesn't capture the functionality
of the JNI very well.
I want to do the following: I want to call a Java method from C++
code. The Java method has some parameters of different datatypes, like
public static boolean dosomething(int x, long y, String z)
for example. Is there any way to do this? The Call...Methods() take
the method ID and an array of parameters to pass to the function, but:
HOW TO CREATE AN ARRAY OF DIFFERENT DATATYPES???
It's only possible to create a new array calling something like
NewObjectArray() when passing a datatype given.... I think, the only
way to pass parameters of different datatypes from C++ to Java methods
is to create a new class containing all parameters necessary and to
pass the class as the one and only argument.
Any ideas?
Best Regards
Clemens

java-programmer, A basic tomcat question
Hi gang, Tomcat's not my area of expertise but I have to get some simple
things set up -- nothing fancy.
I'm having trouble getting classes & packages to work. The setup is Tomcat
5.5.4 & JDK1.5. I can get basic servlets and JSPs to work, but I'm having
trouble with user classes and packages. Here's an example:
tomcat\webapps\ROOT\Test\TestMovie.jsp
----------------------------------------
<#@ page import="testpackage" @>
<html>
<body>
<% Movie m = new Movie("Gone With the Wind", 1936, 19.95); %>
<%= m.title %>
</body>
</html>
tomcat\webapps\ROOT\Test\WEB-INF\classes\testpackage\Movie.java
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
package testpackage;
public class Movie
{
public String title;
public int year;
public double price;
public Movie(String title, int year, double price)
{
this.title = title;
this.year = year;
this.price = price;
}
}
I've googled this & read the documentation, everything seems to say put all
the classes in packages, create a folder for the package under
WEB-INF\classes, and put the class files in the package folder, and that
should do the trick. But I must have something else missing. Any ideas?
Also, I don't know if this is related, but is there a trick to using new
featured of Java 1.5 in a JSP? I can't get the following JSP to compile:
<%@ page import="java.util.*" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>You're breaking my concentration.</title>
</head>
<body>
<% ArrayList<String> s = new ArrayList<String>();
%>
</body>
</html>
It complains about the first < in the scriptlet. Does that have to be
escaped somehow?
TIA,
--D

Wouldn't that be import="testpackage.Movie" (or testpackage.*) ?

Did you put the class file there or just the source file?

- [POLL] Dropping support for old SpiderMonkeysHi,
as JavaScript.pm development is moving again I'm considering dropping
support for older SpideyMonkey and focusing on 1.7 and later (the one
used in FF 2.0).
Instead on having to download and install SM manually I was planning
on putting up a source release of the SM 1.7 engine on my server and
add the possibility for Makefile.PL to download and install it.
Alternatively I can bundle the source with JavaScript.pm. You will
still however have the possibility to build against your own SM src.
This way we can better control availability of utf8, threading and
e4x (and future stuff too).
Does this sound like a good idea?
Thanks

There doesn't seem to be a point of disagreement here. Programmers
often need to require certain properties to be checked at compile-time.
Others could go either way. There is no property that a program would
rationally desire to *require* be checked at runtime; that would only
occur because the compiler doesn't know how to check it at compile time.

How can I cope with that problem ?
Is the any tutorial, or sth. about integrating plugins with RCP app ?

- Returning a reference to an objectHi,
I've created a class to implement a state machine, so it's got a State
attribute. It has algo got a private java.util.Stack attribute.
In order to work, State classes need to access the stack to push and pop
data, etc.
To access it from State, I have wrote a method called getStack() which
returns a reference to the stack, but I think this is not recommended
beacause all objects sharing the reference can modify it, and led to errors
difficult to debug, etc. Returning a stack's clone is not valid solution,
as I have to make changes on the real one.
So my question is, is there a cleaner way to do this?
Thank you very much

- encrypted source file support in jdk?Hi
I an wondering if anybody knows if its possible to extend the
functionality of the sun java compiler/vm in jdk6, with for example
plugins or similar? or if the jdk supports something similar already?
What I am looking for is to set up a jdk environment where the source
code is ecrypted at the file level. This requires javac to be able to
en-/decrypt the source files. For further protection, the jvm would need
such support as well.
some details:
To answer the typical question first. For this scenario I am not
interrested in encrytpted filesystems, because it still leaves the
files vulnerable as long as the filesystem is mounted. The secrecy of
the files can still be compromised from hacking, virus, trojans, skype,
xss and all other sorts of system hacking. With encrypted files the
information in the files are still protected, even in the case a trojan
sends a file by email to somebody on the internet. Enctrypted
filesystems only help protect the integrity of the local system and the
disk while the system/disk is not running. Encrypted files help protect
the information during use as well.
I know there are many other issues as well, I'll be working throuhg it.
here is the list of the issues of most importance:
- en-/decryption support in
- ide / editor
- compiler
- code searching tools
- disassembler/debugger
- remove excess information from class files
- how to handle static content files
- html, css, jsp, configuration files for libraries and frameworks etc
- if class files are also encrypted
- en-/decryption support in the jvm runtime, covers tomcat, jboss etc.
- possible encrypted jar/war/ear files etc
- debugger
- information about classes must also be protected from prying
eyes who have obtained the class files and using the debugger to get
information.

- Casting Object[]Hi :o)
I've created a useful routine that "appends" an Object on to the end of an
array of Object, creating a new array with slack space if there is not
enough space available (sort of like a light-weight Vector):
public static final Object[] append(Object[] buf, int buf_len, Object addxn,
int slack)
{
Object[] ptr = buf;
if (buf == null || (buf_len + 1) > buf.length)
{
ptr = new Object[buf_len + 1 + slack];
if (buf != null) System.arraycopy(buf, 0, ptr, 0, buf_len);
}
ptr[buf_len] = addxn;
return ptr;
}
Anyway, this works fine, no probs, etc.
I am having problems, however, casting Object[] onto String[] or any other
such cast. Even if, obviously, all the elements of the array are String.
Now, I can state straight off where the problem lies. If I choose a large
enough String[] buffer so that the appended String fits inside it, then the
returned array can be cast back onto String[] - however, if the buffer is
exceeded, and line 6 is executed (creating a new buffer) then it can no
longer be cast back onto String[].
Does that make sense?
Anyway, the question! Is there any way of creating an Object[] array
generically which is of the same type as the original array. In other words,
it would create a new String[] array or Color[] or Rectangle[] or whatever
as appropriate?
Is there a way of doing it by reflection??? (perhaps)
Cheers :o)
And if you don't understand what I going on about, just shout! (hehe) and
I'll try and explain better!

baggage for the ride - most of whom will be c#/vb.net developers in
india, no doubt).
in the meantime, some interesting news:
it seems sun may not be so stupid after all, and is working very
closely with open source organizations like apache and red hat to
spread java.
after apache announced a few weeks ago that it would be creating its
own open source J2EE app server, red hat announced that it was
planning on an open source java, with sun's blessing.

methinks microsoft is in very big trouble.

Hi James,
You seem have have attributed the OPs remarks to me...
That being said, the OP is specifically talking about the case where we
have a legacy code base which wasn't tested with Junit - not that it
wasn't tested. There's no mention of whether TDD was used or not -
though I think we both suspect it wasn't and that the code base was
merely Unit Tested.
Unfortunately, working with legacy code is currently the most common
starting point on projects that adopt TDD. Greenfield projects using TDD
are still rare.
Also, keep in mind, whilst JUnit was developed as a tool to Aid TDD,
Beck et al do realise that some people won't or can't do TDD but still
need a decent Unit Testing tool.
As I'm sure you know - but as an aid for others - TDD is not Unit Testing.
TDD is actually a design methodology that happens to use unit tests to
describe the design. Much like RUP uses UML, etc. In fact this usage of
the term Test has causes so many to concentrate on the testing side of
TDD that some are now starting to question whether a better name could
be found.
e.g.
Behavior Driven Development (http://behaviour-driven.org/)
Specification Driven Development
etc.

Can you not top-post please, John? It makes threads very hard to follow...
