  - Confusion between SCJP 1.5 and SCJP 1.6Hi,
    
    I want to give a SCJP certification.
    But now SCJP 1.6 is latest and I have prepared for SCJP 1.5.
    Can anyone tell me which will be best?
    
    If possible provide some useful links.
    
    Thanking in Advance

    I have frequently seen a x2 factor between MS .NET 2.0 and Mono 1.2 !
    
    Comparing with Mono is too easy.

  - googling google persistance using google apiI've been over to <http://www.google.com/apis/> and downloaded
    GoogleAPIDemo.java, which is much simpler than expected. I'd like to
    save the query results to a file. I'm thinking that each query result
    could almost be apended to an XML file, this seems the most natural and
    easiest approach.
    
    However, I'm, err, not finding anything on google about doing so. I
    know that the demo uses SOAP and I know that I know nothing about SOAP
    and have no real interest in learning about SOAP at this time.
    However, I believe that SOAP is good for communicating with databases,
    yes?
    
    I've been over to <http://www.w3.org/TR/soap/> which led me to:
    
    Abstract
    SOAP is a lightweight protocol for exchange of information in a
    decentralized, distributed environment. It is an XML based protocol
    that consists of three parts: an envelope that defines a framework for
    describing what is in a message and how to process it, a set of
    encoding rules for expressing instances of application-defined
    datatypes, and a convention for representing remote procedure calls and
    responses. SOAP can potentially be used in combination with a variety
    of other protocols; however, the only bindings defined in this document
    describe how to use SOAP in combination with HTTP and HTTP Extension
    Framework.
    
    which all sounds very nice but it seems like I'd have to buy a book to
    get it working. There's lightweight, then there's lightweight, if you
    get my meaning, and I think that SOAP is bit not-lightweight for my
    purposes. I would like an XML file with something like (please forgive
    my atrocious XML):
    
    <result>
    <www.whatever.com />
    <some text here />
    </result>
    
    <result>
    <www.foo.com />
    <different text here />
    </result>
    
    <result>
    <www.bar.com />
    <text on bar here />
    <result>
    
    Or something along those lines, which mirrors whatever google gives the
    demo. However, I can't find something ready-made for creating such a
    file, which surprises me. I'm looking for something relatively easy
    which I can put together with the demo to save some results to file,
    such that the results can be put into a database at a later time.
    However, my google results are less than stellar. How do people
    save/persist their google results?
    
    My personal computer is broken at the moment, so this all hypothetical.
    I haven't compiled the demo yet, never mind modifying it.
    
    thanks,

  - How to load class files in Tomcat4?Hi,
    
    All those .class have worked well in Tomcat 3. They were under
    webpages (html's and jsp's)/WEB-INF/classes.
    
    Now in Tomcat 4, they no longer work, even after re-compiling. Jsp's
    can longer connect to the beans (classes). What's my problem? Yes I
    noticed that all the simple jsp's did produced a .java and .class in
    the jakarta-tomcat4.0/work, but all the jsp's using beans only
    produced a .java not .class. Obviously, beans are "lost".
    
    I also noticed there is a web.xml in each WEB-INF. Do I need to do
    anything there for deployment?
    
    Thanks a lot,

  - Another exception handling question
    public void myMethod (String name){
    
    if(!condition1){
    throw new IllegalArgumentException("A message ");
    
    }
    
    if(!condition2){
    throw new IllegalArgumentException("Another mesage");
    
    }
    
    }
    
    When I call myMethod I want to distinguish between the different
    reasons for the same exception. Is it better to make my own
    exception ? What is my good practice?
    
    cheers,

  - DesktopManager implementation questionBefore I go reinventing the wheel, does anyone know of a pointer to a
    DesktopManager implementation that handles resizing properly when its
    internal frames are minimized?
    
    Specifically, I'm looking for some set of behavior equal to or greater
    than the following:
    
    When an internal frame is iconified AND the look and feel has
    located that iconified frame at the bottom of the desktop AND the
    desktop is resized, THEN the iconified frame should reoccupy the
    appropriate position in the newly-sized desktop.
    
    Right now what happens is that the iconified frame simply stays where it
    is. This is in keeping with a container that really doesn't have a
    layout manager, but it's not what a user would expect.
    
    Thanks in advance for any pointers; I have done my homework via Google,
    this newsgroup, etc. but haven't found anything. There are plenty of
    examples of putting a JDesktopPane into a JScrollPane, but for various
    reasons I'd really REALLY like to avoid this if possible.
    
    Thanks,

  - Java Print Service and WindowsIs there a way to print simple text using the Java Print Service under
    Windows? The target printer is a high speed dot matrix printer that
    does not support graphics. This works without any problems under Linux,
    but no matter what printer driver is installed on a Win2K machine, JPS
    fails to locate a print service for DocFlavor.READER.TEXT_PLAIN (or any
    DocFlavor.*.TEXT_*).
    
    Any ideas?

  - draw line position - networkingThe code bellow will enable users to scrible anything on a canvas. Now
    what I intend to do is to create a vector object for every position
    (pre_x,pre_y,x, y) of the lines drawn on the canvas and send it using
    a socket connection to a remote server.
    
    public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e)
    {
    if(isButtonPressed==true)
    {
    pre_x=e.getX()+scrollbarH_value;
    pre_y=e.getY()+scrollbarV_value;
    isButtonPressed=false;
    }
    x=e.getX()+scrollbarH_value;
    y=e.getY()+scrollbarV_value;
    offscreenImageG.drawLine( pre_x, pre_y, x, y);
    pre_x=x;
    pre_y=y;
    repaint();
    e.consume();
    message.setText(pre_x + ":" + pre_y + ":" + x + ":" + y);
    }
    
    Is my apporach considered to be feasible?. Any other ways?

  - JspException in custom tagHello,
    
    Can someone show me the error of my ways.....
    
    I have a custom tag 'public int doStartTag() throws JspException' from
    which a JspException is thrown. The exception is forwarded to an JSP
    error page and from there I want to (eventually) shove the contents of
    the exception into a javabean.
    
    My javabean is set up as follows:
    
    public class errorBean
    {
    Throwable errorObject = null;
    String errorMessage = null;
    
    public void setErrorObject(Throwable errorObject)
    {
    this.errorObject = errorObject;
    errorMessage = errorObject.getMessage();
    }
    public String getErrorMessage()
    {
    return errorMessage;
    }
    } //errorBean
    
    My JSP error page looks like:
    
    <%@ page isErrorPage="true" %>
    
    <html>
    <body>
    
    <jsp:useBean id="errorBean" class="errorBean"/>
    <jsp:setProperty name="errorBean" property="errorObject"
    value="${pageContext.errorData.throwable}"/>
    The error message is <jsp:getProperty name="errorBean"
    property="errorMessage"/>
    
    </body>
    </html>
    
    When I throw an exception like 'throw new JspException("Hello World")'
    in my custom tag,
    everything seems to work i.e. "Hello World" shows up in my Mozilla &
    Netscape browser.
    When I throw an exception like 'throw new JsPException("Hello
    World",throwableObject)
    where throwableObject subclasses Throwable, I get a 'http status 500'
    error, but the browser clearly displays as part of a stack trace (?)
    the exception "Hello World" as well as the root cause.
    
    Why would this work in one case ('throw new JspException("Hello
    World")' and other
    ('throw new JsPException("Hello World",throwableObject)) fail to
    display "Hello World"?
    
    Thnaks for any help.

  - Modify java AST before compilingHi !
    
    I'm trying to modify an Abstract Syntax Tree (a
    com.sun.tools.javac.tree.JCTree).
    
    I can get the AST with something like that:
    
    // new compiler, fileManager, compilationUnits1.....
    CompilationTask ct = compiler.getTask(null, fileManager, null, null,
    null, compilationUnits1);
    JavacTask jt = (JavacTask)ct;
    try {
    Iterable trees = jt.parse();
    //... do something else here....
    } catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    }
    
    Then, I obviously can walk throw the tree....
    
    I now want to modify this AST. Is there any simple way to achieve this
    ?
    For example, if a leaf is a JCBlock, I would like to do something like
    that (Just to test):
    
    ((JCBlock)t).stats.append(((JCBlock)t).getStatements().last());
    
    but it seems that everything is read-only in those JCTrees.
    
    Then, I would like to generate the .class with the modified tree... any
    idea ?
    
    Thank you !
    Best regards,
    
    Yohann Coppel.

  - the best way to store program setupHello,
    
    What is the best way to store program configuration settings? Each
    class has its own parameters that might be useful just for current
    class. There are some parameters that might be useful in whole
    program. Probably main class could have confifiguration for whole
    program, but how I could access them from class that is inside main
    class?
    
    Thank you

  - IO ExceptionHi,
    
    I have a Java application which takes in either the server name or IP
    address, domain name, user name and password, and copies the files
    from the specified server directory to the local C drive.
    
    It works perfectly fine when I run this on my local m/c and I can use
    either the server name or the server IP address.
    
    But when I move the jar file to a different workstation and execute it
    I get an IO exception - 'Source file does not exist' when I specify
    the server using its IP address. It still works on a different
    workstation when I pass the server name.
    
    Any clue as to why should it happen?
    
    Thanks,
    Beena

java-programmer, Where in the language is ".class"? Where in the Java language specification or API is the idiom
"Foo.class" defined? It's not an attribute of any class I can find,
and I can't find it in the core language specification.

Thanks.

  - Did anyone upload file to php server by using swing applet before? Need help!!!Hi,
    
    I need a help. Recently I wrote a swing applet for uploading files to
    php server. It seems that everything is fine now. I can get the exactly
    same size files in the server. For text file, there is no any problem
    to be openned. But for image and moive files (such as .jpeg, .gif .mov
    and etc.), those files can not be openned after they are uploaded to
    sever even the size is exactly the same as orignal files.
    I think that it should be caused by "Content-Type".
    For testing, I change my Content-Type to "image/gif" to send gif files.
    However, the problem is still there. Now, I have no idea about this
    problem. Could any one give me a favor? Thanks in advance!!!

  - Java server performance - jeetyHi All,
    
    I am working on an application where a servlet need to handle min 600
    request / sec(which will keep on increasing in future)
    So I am not able to decide which application server I should use.
    
    As I go through some benchmarks I came to know that Jetty's performance
    is better but
    I don't know how much load it can handle.
    
    Is there any who has used Jetty on heavy traffic application?
    
    or is there any another servlet container / HTTP Server which can
    handle such a load
    
    Plz suggest me.
    
    Thanks in Advance.

  - Novice Form QuestionI am a novice at JSP / HTML and have a Forms releated question. I am
    really looking for sample code I can leverage to help understand how
    to address non-trivial form layouts.
    
    I undestand the how to build a -simple- form with a few input fields
    and process this with JSP - Struts interaction. Unfortunately, I am
    weak in HTML / JavaScript and I need to understand and build a more
    complicated form.
    
    Basically my form must look something like this:
    
    User Name: _________________ Baggage Type ____________
    
    Add Button | Remove Button Add Button | Remove Button
    ---------------------------- -------------------------
    | Tom | | SomeBagType 1 |
    | Dick | | SomeBagType 2 |
    | Harry | | SomeBagType 3 |
    | Jane | | SomeBagType 4 |
    | | | |
    ---------------------------- -------------------------
    
    Submit Button Cancel Button
    
    Note that there are 6 buttons on the form. The Add / Remove buttons
    are intended to allow the user to Add or Remove -User name's- or
    -Baggage Type's- before the form is submitted.
    
    I am not sure how to handle this. My guess is that Javascript might
    work ( I do Java but not JavaScript :-( ) but I am open to suggestions
    and most importantly EXAMPLES of how this might be implemented.
    This code will part of a JSP-Struts project.
    
    Thanks.

  - Anyone seen this problemMaybe I am being stupid, but I am having difficulty getting mouse events
    from a custom JComponent. At this point I have put an instance of a subclass
    of JComponent in a JScrollPane and placed it in the center of a
    BorderLayout. I then added a mouse listener to the subclass of JComponent,
    traced through the code to make sure I am acutally adding the listener, but
    my mouseClicked(), mousePressed() and mouseReleased() methods on my listener
    class are not called. Any one seen this problem before.

  - How to check if all *.jars in my CLASSPATH really exists? Automatic check (not manual) possible?Assume I have a long, long CLASSPATH containing approx 20 (or more) *.jar archives.
    Is there a way to AUTOMATICALLY check if all mentioned *.jar files really exist?
    
    I could imagine a command (or even java class) which checks this from command line:
    
    java check_cp &CLASSPATH%
    
    or similar

    for my application.
    
    The parser needs to parse HTML & XML pages to strip the tags and return just

    trouble getting started with the code.
    
    I'd be gratefull for a push in the right direction.

  - XML call XSL that calls xml through document() elementHello,
    
    I am trying to create an XML document on the fly that sends some
    parameters to an xsl document which calls the correct xml document that
    corresponds to the parameters.
    
    I reference the xsl document:
    
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
    <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="web-primary.xsl"?>
    
    I am just trying to hardcode the request to prove that this is possible
    for the time being so the parameters are already in the xsl that will
    eventually be variables.
    
    but I am unsure what else to include in the first XML file to make the
    call to the web-primary.xsl????? My XSL is complete and the
    corresponding XSL files are complete.
    
    The xsl doc has a document element that calls the correct xml file that
    contains the data.
    
    My reason for doing all of this is because Firefox will not allow me to
    go to a remote xml file from the server so I want the browser to do the
    work of getting the remote xml file. If you have a better way of doing
    this, please let me know.
    
    thx.
