  - insert problem with mysqlI have a mysql table with two columns, DeptNo and DeptName. I am
    making inserts from java code with the following where the variables
    are populated with text from a jTextfield:
    
    sqlString = "INSERT INTO department SET DeptNo= '" + deptno + "' + ','
    + 'DeptName=' + '" + deptname + "'";
    int result=0;
    
    result= dbc.executeUpdate(sqlString);
    
    Each time I do this insert I get a result of one--successfull
    insert--but only the deptno value gets inserted into the database. The
    DeptName field is blank.
    I have also tried this with a prepared statement to test if there is
    something wrong with my sqlString, but I get the same result.
    
    Any ideas what is happening here.
    
    Thanks

  - java exception handlingi was arguing with my manager about whether it's better to throw
    exception from a service that im developing or to give the user
    returned value. My supporting points are:
    1-thowing exception is much mostly than returned value in term of
    performance.
    2-in returned value way the user can customize the behavior of the
    system as he like and he would have clear view of the service result.
    3-with respect to the user requirement he doesn't really need a
    returned value or exception from
    the service.
    my manager supporting points:
    1-the service should be general so in future if somebody want to be
    informed by the result of
    the service we don't have to modify it.
    but infact if we consider all the assumption we will delf into hunders
    of assumptions and if this is nessary the returned value is better way
    than throwing exception.
    
    im very sorry for my long plah plah plah
    
    any one have a comment.

  - JSP/Javascript event catcherhi,
    i was wondering how to call a function upon clicking of a button... i
    have abutton that uses some javascript to unhide a div... but at the
    same time i would like it to call a method not part of javascript.
    
    <form>
    <input type="button" value="Generate Code"
    onClick="display('code');"'<%UserBean.trackModels("n3",user,1);%>'"">
    </form>
    
    that is the code i tried... the javascript function works properly but
    im unsure how to have the jsp method called.
    
    i tried a system out println right after the calling trackModels and it
    seems to execute when the page loads rather then when the button is
    clicked. and the trackModels method doesn't get called at all.
    
    any and all help is appreciated
    thanks alot

  - Application to zoom & pan around a very large image ?Hello,
    
    Is there an Opengl application for simply viewing a large image ?
    
    It would enable the user to zoom in and pan and tilt in a smooth =>30
    fps user friendly fashion.
    
    It could also be directX or any other technology running under winXP.
    
    ( basically this would be a 2D version of google earth where the user
    supplies the image )

  - Creating and moving boxesHi,
    
    I need help with creating GUI for application that can draw boxes and
    links between them, write into boxes, resizing boxes... Something similar
    to Poseidon (UML modeling engine).
    
    Have you got any clues for me? Do I have to write it from scratch - "if
    mouse is clicked over the box than select that box and than if it moves
    move this box", "if mouse is over the edge and it is moving then resize",
    etc.? Are there any libraries that can help me with that?

  - Operating system specific calls.Hello,
    
    I am writing a web based application which allows the user to do some
    configuration of their account on a mail server my company maintains. This
    application in particular involves the use of quite a few different calls to
    command scripts and the like on the operating system. I have decided to
    make all the responses from the operating system come back in XML which has
    made some of my job easier but now I am trying to think of a way to wrap the
    outbound commands which are different on my windows system and the system
    for which I am developing which is Linux. I want to take them all aside in
    a separate class which can use the System.getProperty("os.name") property to
    decide which version to call. Is this a bad Idea? Can you please suggest
    architectures for making JNI calls flexible.
    
    Kind regards,
    
    Andoni.

    I have to say, we ignore this for now. We put ant and the runtime into
    Build-Depends-Indep and live with a broken clean target. As the clean
    target normally only deletes stuff you can simply do some rm calls in it
    and done use ant/runtime.

    Both use ecj. They generally produce the same output. Some time ago we
    decided to make java-gcj-compat the default runtime to use in Debian and
    Ubuntu. It supports most archs and is/was the default runtime in Ubuntu.
    This had the advantage that we have very few differences between Debian
    and Ubuntu and can merge fixes between the both very easily.
    
    I hope my answers help a bit.
    
    Cheers,
    Michael

  - Accessing Nested GUI components. Comments and Opinions needed.Hi,
    
    I have a question regarding GUI design...
    
    Suppose I have a Swing Component such as a JPanel, that contains other
    components. That is suppose A contains B contains C contains D. Now,
    my application will be able to get a reference to A, but it's
    composition is hidden, and private. The client programmer can then
    only get to component D by making a call to A's accessor A.getD().
    However, that means that B.getD() and C.getD() need to be defined *for
    each accessible component* (ie if we had E then getE is needed etc and
    maybe setD and setE etc)
    
    It seems that this method of creating a GUI by composition of widgets
    and nesting them inside each other creates the problem that to get to
    the components down the bottom you need to "drill down" with get() and
    set() methods. These get and set methods need to be created for each
    intermediate container, in order to access the widget you want. Surely
    there is a better way?
    
    Currently I'm designing a GUI which has a lot of these nested
    components. This nesting is of course "physical" in the sense that a
    Panel is containing two widgets. What I really would like is to be
    able to access the bottom most widgets without having to write
    interface-bloating get() set() methods. I was thinking of (somehow?)
    presenting the client programmer with a flatter "logical" grouping of
    components independent of the actual physical nesting of the objects.
    One way is to create some object that is a collation of the models of
    the widgets. Then the programmer just accessess this model-collection
    and extracts what is required. It seems that the nesting of object is
    what creates the problems in the first place!
    
    Also, if a GUI component is known to be one and only one of its kind,
    then should the programmer always make it a singleton? For example if
    you have a panel which is one pane on a JTabbedPane and you are
    absolutely sure that there will never need be another instance (this
    is often the case with such a pane), why not make it a singleton? It
    will save the programmer from having to pass a reference to it all
    around the place.
    
    Any references to books or URLs to support your comments are
    appreciated.
    
    Thanks,

  - Ineffecient Servlet Programming , Help to improve!!Dear all,
    
    I have a query on servlet programming.
    
    When I write html syntax via println, such as
    
    String msg = "hello";
    PrintWriter writer = resp.getWriter();
    writer.println("<html><body>" + msg + "</body></html>");
    ..
    
    I found it is quite trouble on typing the html tags.
    If my output html is complicated, I need to type or retype many html tag.
    
    Can any one suggest me a good method to improve it?
    or any example website? or sample?

  - Properly encoding "Project Gutenburg 1913 Webster Unabridged Dictionary".So, I've spent all day working on this. Funfun...
    
    Back story: Project Gutenburg create free ebooks from content that is
    now in the public domain, including the "1913 Webster Unabridged
    Dictionary". The problem with this particular work (pgw050*.txt), is
    that it uses a very "odd" character set, and an almost-xml markup (it
    may be valid SGML, but I wouldn't bank on it)
    
    Its part DOS extended ascii, and then some proprietary character
    codes.
    
    My goal:
    I'd like to get this into a form that is easily processed by a
    program. I think the best way to do this is to put it into a robust
    XML formal. This would involved cleaning up the markup to be more
    valid XML, as well as processing some of the character codes into
    nicer forms. I've already written a program that will read the
    original texts, and re-encode the files as UTF-8, using appropriate
    character substitution when possible.
    
    At this point, I'm not sure if I'd be better off converting their
    custom "entities" into the equivalent UTF-8 encoded characters, or if
    it would be better to convert all entities and non-standard characters
    into some sort of XML encoded entities.
    
    Anyone have suggestions on what would be the most useful way to go?

  - Beginner doubt about access and methodsHello
    
    I have a doubt about how to write classes.
    I have written something like this:
    
    -----------
    /*
    * Data.java
    */
    
    import java.io.Serializable;
    
    package com.me.myPackage;
    
    // abstract class to create others based on this
    
    abstract class Data implements Serializable {
    
    // variables
    
    private String aData;
    
    String getData(String data) {
    return aData;
    }
    
    void setData(String data) {
    this.aData = data;
    }
    
    }
    
    -------------
    
    So when I write a class that extends the class Data, I must set those
    variables with:
    setData("blabla");
    
    These methods may only be used by classes in its package
    
    I avoided using public methods or public variables for this class and
    its subclasses to increase security.
    Is this a good point, or not?
    
    I saw some people do things like this but I don't know if I am doing
    well. Most people used private variables but public methods.
    
    Thanks for any oppinion.

  - Newbie question: handling arrays in separate classHey,
    
    I'm new to Java and looking for solution to the following question.
    In my code I want to keep all my data in the arrays of strings in a
    separate class.
    I can not find a way to construct such a class that would return on
    request a specific string from a specific array.
    
    I looked through the java groups any did not find anything that would
    help me.
    If it's a trivial question please give me at least some guideline
    where to look for answer.
    
    By the way, sorry for my language

  - Reporting tool in JavaHello.
    
    Does anyone know a reporting tool in Java, which can load a template
    (previously made in Word or other word processor, for example) and fill in
    defined fields ? (inside the report are some sophisticated features which
    cannot be achieved with iReport + JasperReport)
    
    Regards,

  - multiple fog nodesI have a scene graph that has a root "world" TreeObject and possibly several children TreeObjects. Each TreeObject includes a BranchGroup and
    TransformGroup. Each TreeObject can have a separate translation/rotation and scale applied to it. Note: a TreeObject is _my_ construct.
    
    I have to support transparent switching between parallel and perspecive views. So to get the effect of zooming, I scale instead of translating in z. This keeps the code simpler. (comments?)
    
    I need to add depth cueing and as far as I know, fog is a common way of doing it. Other suggestions are welcome. I have tried pointlight and it seems to have the same issues as fog. Spotlight also seems to have the same issues.
    
    I prefer LinearFog: Exponential fog is less desirable, but acceptable. The contrast for each TreeObject should be optimal: i.e. the front and
    back of each TreeObject must be as bright (least fogged) and as dark (most fogged) as possible. In my opinion, this forces us to have multiple fog nodes, one per each TreeObject. Different sizes and shaped for different TreeObjects force this restriction.
    
    The other requirement is that each point on each TreeObject should have the same visibility based on fog whether it is scaled or not.
    
    As far as I know, fog equations work in physical eye coordinates, not in the local coordinates of the TreeObject. If the fog equations work in local coorindates of the TreeObject, fog would be correctly applied in terms of what I want: -
    In my application, zooming is implemented by scaling. This has a side effect of making a point behind the center go even further away in terms of eye coordinates, thus causing fog to get thicker. The point in question seems to be getting closer visually because everything gets bigger when you scale; yet it gets murkier because of fog. This effect is visually weird.
    
    Because fog is calculated in physical eye coordinates, I now need compensating logic to undo the conversion to the physical coordinate world.
    The compensation would be such that the end effect would be as if the fog equations use TreeObject-local coordinates.
    
    Do you know how to go about doing the compensation? Specifically, what transform(s) should I use to convert: (scale and/or translate) from the virtual world coordinate system to the physical eye coordinate system? I know how to get from my local coordinate system to the virtual world system, but how do I crossover to the physical coordinates system?
    
    Do you know of any helper classes that returns these transformations? I have heard of a ViewInfo object, but I am not sure how to use it and where to get it from. Also, while we are at it, do you know what the co-existence coordinate system is? It seems to be an intermediary coordinate system between the physical world and the virtual world.
    
    Links to good sites/books that talk in detail about these things would also be useful. I suppose these things are similar/exactly the same in
    OpenGL (DirectX ???) and any book that describes those would also do?

  - Current Class PathWe are trying to get the current class path of our Java program which
    is installed to c:\program files\my program\. In case the path
    changes, we need to get the new path. Everytime we use the
    java.lang.System.getProperty("user.dir"), we get the jdk directory
    path opposed to our program path.
    
    Could anyone tell me how to get the class path and not the jdk path?
    
    Thanks in advance

  - Swing JPanel generator from class (for class attribute editing)Is there any tool (public domain or otherwise) that will generate
    JPanels or JDialogs to edit the attributes of a class? A default
    instance editor?
    
    I've looked at many of the GUI builders, and for the most part I think
    I prefer to hand code my GUI code. But it would be nice to have an
    initial implementation to start with -- a JTextField in the
    view-controller for every String in the model, a JTable for every
    array or ArrayList in the model, a button for every class reference
    variable that would open a dialog for that class, a checkbox for every
    boolean, etc.
    
    It seems like it would be easy to generate such code. It must be,
    because I keep typing the same mindless things over and over.
