- Torque and WebsphereWe are implenting a J2EE project where WebSphere is handling
connection pooling for the application calls to a database. We have a
JDBC Resource configured which tested successfully. We also have the
application successfully connecting to the database which is confirmed
by the following error message.
rethrown as org.apache.torque.TorqueException: [IBM][CLI Driver][DB2]
SQL0204N "TSTUSER.PERMISSION" is an undefined name.
The problem is apparent, TSTUSER does not own a table called
PERMISSION and in fact this table is owned by the user TELUSER and our
intention is for TSTUSER to execute DML against it. We have not been
able to configure the schema.xml file nor the build.properties to
instruct Torque to produce SQL that fully qualifies the object name
with the appropriate schema owner. Any advice you might offer will be
appreciated.
Best regards

Two points:
1) This question is off-topic for this (non-existent) group.
2) Does the version of Netscape you are using claim to be XHTML
compliant? Are you identifying your document as as XHTML document and
not simply an HTML document?

- Mystery of the Shrinking JScrollPaneI've got a slight mystery that I can't fathom, and was wondering if someone
could help me understand what I've done wrong.
I'm trying to create a simple interface within a defined width and height.
It consists of a top half, and a bottom half.
The top half is a sideways-scrolling panel containing a bunch of smaller
panels side-by-side, in a GridLayout. This can expand to fit the width of
the overall UI, but must never take more height than it actually needs to
show the smaller panels in full.
The bottom half is simply a panel, which should absorb all extra height and
width.
If I add sufficient images to NOT exceed the width of the overall UI,
everything works as expected; the JScrollPane expands to fit the images'
height into its viewport, and the filler panel below takes up the slack.
But if I add another small panel, enough to exceed the width of the overall
UI, it goes wrong; the JScrollPane shrinks to practically nothing. I have
set the preferred height of the small panels and of the panel they sit in
(which is inside the scroll pane), so it's not as if it shouldn't be able to
figure out how tall it should be; after all, it figured it out when they
didn't exceed the width.
I just can't understand why it should suddenly shrink.
Here's an applet that will demonstrate the problem:
First, the HTML file to run it:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>TestShrinkingScrollPane</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<APPLET code="JTestShrinkingScrollPaneApplet.class" width="840"
height="640"></APPLET>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Now the single java source file to compile (compiling using 1.4.1_03),
JTestShrinkingScrollPaneApplet.java :
import javax.swing.JApplet;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.GridBagConstraints;
import java.awt.GridBagLayout;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.Insets;
/**
*
*/
/**
* @author Jason
*
*/
public class JTestShrinkingScrollPaneApplet extends JApplet
{
/**
*
*/
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
public void init()
{
final int NUM_SMALL_PANELS = 5 ;
// Add a panel with GridBagLayout to the content pane as our root
component.
JPanel backPanel = new JPanel();
backPanel.setBackground(Color.RED);
backPanel.setLayout(new GridBagLayout() );
getContentPane().add(backPanel);
// Create our panel that will scroll sideways, and its contents.
JPanel scrollablePanel = new JPanel();
scrollablePanel.setBackground(Color.BLUE);
scrollablePanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(1, NUM_SMALL_PANELS, 0, 0) );
// No gaps between cells. Unlike FlowLayout(), this forces it on to one
row.
for (int panelIndex = 0 ; panelIndex < NUM_SMALL_PANELS ; panelIndex++)
{
JPanel smallPanel = new JPanel();
smallPanel.setBackground(Color.YELLOW);
smallPanel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(160, 110) );
scrollablePanel.add(smallPanel);
}
// With no gaps between cells, the overall size needed is obvious:
scrollablePanel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(160 * NUM_SMALL_PANELS,
110) );
// Create the bottom panel, that will absorb the extra height available.
JPanel fillerPanel = new JPanel();
fillerPanel.setBackground(Color.GREEN);
// Now create the grid bag.
GridBagConstraints constraints = new GridBagConstraints();
constraints.anchor = GridBagConstraints.CENTER ;
constraints.gridheight = 1 ;
constraints.gridwidth = 1 ;
constraints.gridx = 0 ;
constraints.insets = new Insets(0, 0, 0, 0);
constraints.ipadx = 0 ;
constraints.ipady = 0 ;
constraints.weightx = 1.0 ;
// The wide, scrollable panel - it can absorb the width, but must not
// absorb any more height THAN IT NEEDS!
constraints.fill = GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL ;
constraints.gridy = 0 ;
constraints.weighty = 0.0 ;
backPanel.add(new JScrollPane(scrollablePanel), constraints);
// The other panel - it can absorb the width AND the height.
constraints.fill = GridBagConstraints.BOTH ;
constraints.gridy = 1 ;
constraints.weighty = 1.0 ;
backPanel.add(fillerPanel, constraints);
}
}
If you compile and display it as it stands, you can see the JScrollPane is
quite rightly displaying the yellow small panels in full height.
If you now change NUM_SMALL_PANELS to 6, which goes beyond the width, and
then re-display it, you'll see the scroll pane collapses.
Any ideas as to why this happens? I've tried setting the viewport preferred
size but it doesn't make any difference. The best I can do is manually set
the scroll pane's size to the needed height + a scroll bar's preferred
height but that is neither elegant nor perfect - I want to know why it goes
wrong!
Any help on the why would be appreciated.

- Tweaking DefaultTreeCellRendererHello,
I'm implementing Drag & Drop for my JTree and I got everything working so far.
There is only one thing that I'd like to add: I would like to highlight the node
that is the current drop target somehow. I did manage to select the node
during my dragEnter() and dragOver() events, but I'd rather not change the
tree's selection during dragging.
So I thought I could customize the TreeCellRenderer used. What I did is the
following:
I extended DefaultTreeCellRenderer and added a method to set the current drop
target row. When creating my tree I set the new renderer as the tree renderer
(which is working because I can see the methods beeing called when adding a
System.out.println())
The I overwrote getTreeCellRendererComponent(). Before calling the
super.getTreeCellRendererComponent() I check if a drop target row is set, and if
it is I pretend the cell is focused:
public Component getTreeCellRendererComponent(JTree tree,
Object value,
boolean sel,
boolean expanded,
boolean leaf,
int row,
boolean hasFocus)
{
boolean drawFocus = hasFocus;
if (this.dropTargetRow != -1 && row == this.dropTargetRow)
{
drawFocus = true;
}
return super.getTreeCellRendererComponent(tree, value, sel, expanded, leaf,
row, drawFocus);
}
But this does not work. I have added debuggin code and the dropTargetRow
variable is set and initialized correctly.
What am I missing here? When I pass a hardcoded true or false to the super call,
it does work (all nodes either always focused or never)
Thanks for any input

Now I found out, that it works, when I put the bin dir

Eclipse. I don't like that. Isn't there another way?

- free java datetimepickerhi,
if you need a datetimepicker-control for java,
you can find one on my side:
http://www.software47.de/eng/software/datetimepicker/datetimepicker_en.htm
it's absolutely free, you can use it as you like.
since i was looking for a free datetimepicker myself, but found nothing, I
wrote one the last days...
If you find bugs or have ideas to better it up, let me know.
Java 1.4 is needed! (because of frame.setundecorated...)
kind regards wolfgang

- Java UML tutorialsThere's a good tutorial on UML with corresponding Java code at
http://www.parlezuml.co.uk/tutorials/java/class/index.htm
So far there's only one on class diagrams, but there's quite a few
much more advanced UML tutorials aimed at C# developers that this one
seems to be a "port" of, so expect more tutorials soon.

- Process managementI am looking some packages for:
- monitoring a machine (total/free memory, CPU usage, keyboard/mouse
activity)
- managing processes (start/ssupend/resume/change priority) of processes.
I need this working at least on Windows/Linux ;-)
So far I was not able to find something doing this.
Thanks for your help.

- Setting Appender's fields in Apache's Log4JHi,
In the following code snippet (which is written to create a
FileAppender & make log4J log to that file):
import org.apache.log4j.*;
class sample
{
....
HTMLLayout layout = new HTMLLayout();
layout.TITLE_OPTION = "DataSE Log";
String logFileName = "Log.txt";
Appender appender = new FileAppender(layout, logFileName, true);
appender.immediateFlush = false;
appender.bufferedIO = true;
appender.bufferSize = 64;
Logger logger = Logger.getLogger();
logger.addAppender(appender);
.....
}
the above snippet is not inside any method. Its directly within the
class. In the above snippet, I am encountering 2 types of errors:
1. Am using the fields of the classes FileAppender & layout. The usage
seems to be wrong, because am getting the error "'synatx error on
token(s); misplaced construct(s)" & similar errors.
2. how to specify the bufferSize? Just as '64' or '64K'?
Thanks.

This layout manager is exactly what I've been looking for - I don't
think I'll ever use gridbaglayout again. IchBin's JGoodies solution
looks great too, but since I already spent way too much time on this, I
wanted to go with a standalone, layout manager only solution - and
since IchBin's already solved the problem with JGoodies there wasn't
any more fun to be had that way.
I still need to install eclipse and look at SWT and netBeans, and
probably the other JGoodies, but it seems at least as far as layout
managers are concerned, I'm all set.
Again: Thanks, everybody.

Good, at least now you are all squared away. Funny, as it were, Karsten
Lentzsch, who recommended ExplicitLayout for a large amount of classes
in a screen design, is the developer and owner of JGoodies.
Sorry, I took the fun out of it for ya. I just wanted to give you a good
example of JGoodies and factories to work from now and in the future. I
still think that the actual code to do what you wanted was smaller than
the ExplicitLayout. For me, it actually only took 5 commands to lay it out.
Well, this is also for the benefit of anyone else looking at this thread
and the Forms from JGoodies...
Thanks in Advance...

If you want to see what sorts men from men that
can compete with native application layout, see
http://tinyurl.com/ar5n5 and you may want to love
layout systems that can do more than the weak GBL ;-)

O.k., this is meant to teach the "DE" (leaving out the leading 'I'). But
maybe some people want their students to concentrate on the course theme, so
they decide to use an IDE. Personally, I think one has to know how to deal
with a language without any external (!) IDE, so you should know about
"javac" and "java"...

This will teach students to write programs the serial way first. In my
opinion, it would be the better approach to teach basic OO concepts first
(before even invoking an editor for the first time, maybe using some
pseudo-language).
Using your approach, students would learn how to write an imperative program
frist (one big main() method). Then you would introduce a completely new
paradigm, the structured programming, using functions (other than the main()
method, but still implementing a single class). Later on, you would
introduce yet another paradigm, the object-oriented programming implementing
specialized classes which will focus on certain tasks.
Have you ever tried to teach oo concepts to a - let's say - COBOL programmer
(nothing to say against COBOL programmer, of course, replace with almost any
3GL you (don't) like)? You will have a very hard time unless he (or she)
will understand them, because the imperative paradigm will block their view
onto objects. So I would always prefer to teach the object-oriented way
first. For most people, it will be quite easy to write "one big main()
method" if they are forced to do it, and the oo paradigm will not stand in
their way.

Yes. But one might define "basics" somewhat different. You must not have (I
might even say "should not have") any knowledge about "serial" or
"functional" programming to learn to write good OO programs.
(O.k., I might have started another thread on this, but then...)

- Java in AT&T PWPHi,
I was referred to you because I'm having a problem getting this to run in
AT&T PWP (Personal Web Pages). I compile the Java Program using NetBeans
IDE 3.6. I upload the .java, the .class and the .html files to my PWP
library.
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class AppHelloWorld extends JApplet
{
public void init()
{
resize(700,100);
}
public void paint(Graphics g)
{
g.drawString("Hello, Applet world!", 10, 25);
}
}
---------------------------------------------------------------
This is the page I run in the browser (Internet Explorer and Netscape).
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Applet HTML Page</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H3><HR WIDTH="100%">Applet HTML Page<HR WIDTH="100%"></H3>
<P>
<APPLET code="AppHelloWorld.class" width=350 height=200>
</APPLET>
</P>
<HR WIDTH="100%"><FONT SIZE=-1><I>Generated by NetBeans IDE</I></FONT>
</BODY>
</HTML>
This is the message I get from the browser:
java.lang.ClassFormatError: AppHelloWorld (Extra bytes at the end of the
class file)
The page will run in Edit*Plus and IE (FILE, OPEN, BROWSE) and Netscape
(FILE, OPEN FILES, select document).
Can you provide any information on how to get this to run in the browsers?

- Good programming questionI was just wondering as to what is a better standard to program by. If
I have a class like this:
class MyClass {
private int myVariable;
private void myMethod1(){
myVariable = 1;
}
private void myMethod2(){
this.myVariable = 1;
}
}
Which method is better? Is there a better choice? Does it make any
difference which way I do it? Maybe this sounds like an insignificant
question but I have done this both ways and just don't know if there is
a good reason to go one way or the other.

- basics of ANThi, i have downloaded and started reading the ant tutorial.
i am confused becuase some of the concepts , the tutorial (jakarta )
is not making clear.
my objective is to compile and run a java program.
my questions are as follows
it is called in order to compile and run you need a "build.xml" file .
where is that file ?
QUESTION 1: is it within ant distribution OR i have to make a
build.xml file myself?
The tutorial does not say anything about it. it just starts straight
forward with a demo "build.xml" file.
where do i put this "build.xml" file ?
QUESTION 2 :
i have a java code here.
>md src
package oata;
public class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World");
}
}
location of this code is "src/oata/HelloWorld.java"
Now tell, where do i put "build.xml" file ?

- Java RPCHi All,
We have a set of application that communicates with embeded devices
that runs linux. Now we decide to use xml-rpc to send commands to the
devices with Apache's xmlrpc (or any other). We only need to generate,
and parse the structured xml string that contains the method name and
parameters. In other words we dont want to use a rpc server.
My question is how can I obtain the xml string of RPC command by only
suplying the method name and a vector that contains the parameters.
ps. In addition to primitive data types, parameters may contain
struct, array and etc.
Thanks in advance for your answer..

- Grid Bag question.I am trying to put together a panel which needs to consist of 20 lines,
each containing :
JLabel - 2 columns
JTextField - 1 colomn
JTextField - 1 column
JLabel - 2 Columns
The JText fields would be filled out from arrays, so it would be layed
out with the help of a 'for' loop.
I put together a test program (provided below) to try to emulate this,
but the layout manager only seems to want to give each entity (JLabel,
JTextField) the same amount of width each regardless of what I specify
in the GridWidth fields. Can this be done with specifying sizes for the
individual JTextfields or labels? Please advise - Thanks - Lou

- polymorphic voodoo?Ok, here is what I am trying to decipher. I have the following code
private void someMethod() {
ArrayList list1 = null;
LinkedList list2 = null;
cleverFunction(list1,list2);
}
private void cleverFunction(List first, List second) {
System.out.println("Static type for first is " + .....);
System.out.println("Static type for second is " + .....);
}
Ok, so, given a polymorphic call like this, is it possible, through
whatever witchcraft necessary, to determine what the static types of
the type polymorphic parameters are?
Maybe some sort of interrogation of the stack? Maybe some sorta
reflection?
Ideas?

- Java regex imposture re: Perl regex compatibility// java has claimed to have added Perl style regular expressions ,
however
// writing a regular expression containing a variable is ugly in java.
// in Perl: $rec =~ s/$delimiter//g is easy to write and to read.
// in java: if delimiter may hold say "||" or "!" isntead of [a-z]
text,
// you have to quote it as below with preceding \\Q (not just \Q ) and
// trailing \\E. ugly and difficult to code!
rec = rec.replaceAll("\\Q" + delimiter + "\\E" ,"");
So even though java has perl style regex in principle, in practice,
in java they seem nearly unusable!

- Pooling of connectionsHi all,
I've read a few articles about how pooled connections are more
efficient because you don't need to repeatedly setup/teardown a
connection - you just acquire connection from the pool.
Exactly what steps in setting up/tearing down a connection are skipped
by acquiring an already existing connection? Perhaps the steps in
establishing/tearing down a connection would help in answering this
question?
Thanks

- Shuffled Poker DeckHi all,
Im new to Java, and as Training for me I tried to build an Application,
which returns a shuffled Pokerdeck. (Random from 1 to 52)
Maybe you will laugh, but i needed a whole day to solve it, and I think its
even not good solution.
Well, at least it works, but please could you give me a hint, how to solve
this problem easier.
Heres the code:
/**
* @(#)Poker.java
*
*
* @author Martin Krainer
* @version 1.00 2007/1/22
*/
public class Poker {
static int[] deck = new int[52];
void buildDeck() { // builds a deck with 52
(hopefully) different Integers
for (int i=0; i<52; i++) {
deck[i] = (int)(Math.random()*10E7);
}
}
void shuffledDeck(int[] a) { // now here I tried hard and
long to get a field with numbers from 1 to 52
long[] zahl= new long[52];
for (int i=0; i<10E7; i++) {
for (int j=0; j<52; j++) {
if (i == deck[j]) {
zahl[j] = j;
System.out.print( " " + (zahl[j]+1) );
}
}
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Poker p = new Poker();
p.buildDeck();
p.shuffledDeck(deck); //well, it works, but...
what do you think?
}

- checking for org.omg.CORBA.OBJECT_NOT_EXISTHi,
I'm writing a java CORBA client, using the Visibroker ORB. Sometimes
when I call methods on the remote object references I get the following
exception
org.omg.CORBA.OBJECT_NOT_EXIST: vmcid: OMG minor code: 0 completed:
No
Is there some way that I can check beforehand whether this exception
will be thrown, i.e. whether the remote object still exists? I thought
that I could do it like this:
if (myRef._non_existent()) {
// get a new myRef
}
myRef.doRemoteMethod();
But I've found that _non_existent() throws exceptions. Is there a
better way to check for the state that causes an OBJECT_NOT_EXIST
exception?
Regards,
Dan
