  - IP-HOSTNAME Conversion ProblemHi,
    
    I found many utilities in the web or rather the internet to resolve ip
    address and host names , i took this example
    
    host name : mp3.box.sk whose IP was resolved to be 69.31.81.51
    
    now i took the same ip and tried to resolve the host name, for my
    surprise i found that to be
    colo-69-31-81-51.pilosoft.com which is not mp3.box.sk for sure, can
    anyone explain as to why this problem is caused?

  - executing data needs mprotect with PROT_EXECThis is a multi-part message in MIME format.
    I've been trying to run some FreeBSD4 packages
    inside a jail on a FreeBSD6 / amd64 box; and I've
    hit a problem with ports/jdk.
    
    A couple of places the VM uses an array of
    integers, puts code in it, and executes it.
    
    This doesn't work on machines where the CPU
    honors the PROT_EXEC settings; this can be
    different on different machines (depending on
    BIOS settings probably).
    
    The right fix is to call mprotect() from jdk to allow
    execution of the memory in question, something like this:

  - Overheads involved in repeated acces to a database using JDBCI have an application that inserts words and their associated values
    into a hashtable. If the word already exists in the hashtable, the
    value associated with the word is increased in the hashtable. When the
    hashtable is complete, I write its contents into a simple, two-column
    table in a singer-user database using jdbc.I'm using MS Access at the
    moment because my database doesn't need to support multiple -users or
    very complex queries.
    
    -Would I be better to take the hashtable out of the equation all
    together? (i.e. read, write and update the values in the database as I
    go along).
    
    -Do you know if there is much overhead involved in contacting a
    database in this way, as I would need to do it about 4,000 times?
    
    I'm not sure how jdbc works.
    -Can you alter the result set repeatedly and do a mass write to the
    database at the end?
    
    -Would another type of database suit my needs better?
    
    Thanks in advance

  - rapid development web interface to a databaseI am looking for the easiest web interface to a database. By easiest,
    I mean most rapid development. Because the requirements are so simple
    and standard, I'm hoping that something can take care of the grunt
    work. Easy maintenance, possibly by non-programmers (or at least
    "junior" programmers) would also be nice.
    
    I'm open to Perl, PHP, Java in that order (best solution wins, equal
    solutions go with the preferred language). I'm also open to anything
    that doesn't require code to be written to get the job done, as long
    as there's some way to extend it if I get stuck.
    
    The design is simple and is an age-old story:
    I have a database with about 15 tables. 5 contain data with the same
    primary key, 2 have their own primary key but still a 1-to-1 mapping
    to the "main" primary key, and 8 are master lists that the other
    tables reference (site id, customer id, that sort of thing). I need
    the following screens:
    simple search based on a couple fields
    advanced search based on most available fields
    search results simple display, showing a reasonable set of fields
    search results advanced display, showing large or configurable set of
    fields
    simple display, showing most commonly desired fields
    advanced display, showing all data
    add new record simple, requesting most commonly entered fields
    add new record advanced, allowing all fields to be manipulated
    edit existing record simple
    edit existing record advanced
    editing for each of the 'master' tables
    
    All edit/add screens need pulldowns for master lists allowing one to
    be selected, search screens need pulldowns allowing multiple to be
    selected. The user should not be burdened by the underlying layout of
    thed tabase.
    
    I want something to do most of the grunt work of:
    all the CGI stuff, of course
    authentication and maintaining the session
    building the forms. ugly is ok as long as it's usable. optional
    templating would be nice.
    working with the database
    
    After everything is done modifying the interface to accomidate a new
    table or new column in an existing table should be trivial.
    
    I appreciate any advice about the most efficient way to develop such
    systems.

  - Refinement of a Java prog called by PHPAfter listening to everybody's replies, I rephrase my problems as follows:
    
    I modify my program from my client:
    
    Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
    con = DriverManager.getConnection ( "jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1/" +
    dbstr, "root","");
    
    ...
    
    after a series of search in the db "dbstr",
    
    I want to return result from the search obtained by this Java program by
    simply using System.out.printIn because I tried a C program and printf
    simply works.
    
    In order to make sure the java program can be called by PHP successfully, i
    place it under the php directory instead of calling
    
    system(java_prog_absolute_path/the_java_prog);
    
    And the error returns from the java "slave" prog to the "master" php prog
    is:
    
    the error is:

  - repeating program codeI've created a program that calculates real estate commission. The person
    inputs the sale amount and then enters a letter which represents a certain
    commission rate. It then calculates the commission and displays it. After
    the commission amount is displayed i want it to prompt the user for
    another transaction. When there are no more transactions i want the
    program to display the total amount of the properties entered, and the
    total amount of the commissions calcualted. I'm not too sure what to do.
    Should i use a while loop? Here is what i have done so far.
    // RealEstateCommission.java: Calculates real estate commissions
    import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
    
    public class Calculator {
    /** Main method */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    double salePrice;
    double commissionRate = 0;
    
    // Enter sale price
    String salePriceString = JOptionPane.showInputDialog (null,
    "Enter sale price",
    "Calculator Input", JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE);
    
    salePrice = Double.parseDouble(salePriceString);
    
    // Enter property code (residential, multidwelling or commercial)
    String propertyTypeString = JOptionPane.showInputDialog (null,
    "Enter property code (residential (R), multidwelling (M) or
    commercial(C))",
    "Calculator Input", JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE);
    
    if (propertyTypeString.equals ("R"))
    commissionRate = 0.070;
    else if (propertyTypeString.equals ("M"))
    commissionRate = 0.060;
    else if (propertyTypeString.equals ("C"))
    commissionRate = 0.035;
    
    // Calculate commission
    double commission = salePrice * commissionRate;
    
    // Format to keep two digits after the decimal point
    commission = (int)(commission * 100) / 100.0;
    
    // Show results
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,
    "the commission is" + commission,
    "Cakculator Output",
    JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
    
    String transactionString = JOptionPane.showInputDialog (null,
    "Would you like to do another transaction (YES or No)",
    "Calculator Input", JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE);

  - log4j with OpenJMS
    Anybody got sample code for sending log4j messages specifically to OpenJMS?
    In particular I'd like to do it all programmatically, since I'm working with a fairly complex pre-existing build system and would rather not start introducing too many new properties files. I have a log4j.properties file, but I'm trying to avoid having to create a jndi.properties file.
    
    I stuck this code from OpenJMS in my Logging utility (which wraps log4j):
    
    Hashtable properties = new Hashtable();
    properties.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
    "org.exolab.jms.jndi.InitialContextFactory");
    properties.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "rmi://localhost:1099/");
    Context context = new InitialContext(properties);
    
    and log4j.properties has a simple:
    log4j.myLogger=DEBUG, JMS1
    log4j.appender.JMS1=org.apache.log4j.net.JMSAppender
    log4j.appender.JMS1.TopicBindingName=testtopic
    log4j.appender.JMS1.TopicConnectionFactoryBindingName=JmsTopicConnectionFactory
    
    I keep getting the error "javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Need to specify class name in environment or system property, or as an applet parameter, or in an application resource file: java.naming.factory.initial" which leads me to believe that my block of code is not storing the InitialContext in a way so that log4j can get at it.
    
    Thanks!

  - grant execute file permission to a JSP? I'm trying to run an external command from a JSP and instead get
    the exception:
    
    java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission /usr/bin/killall execute)
    
    which seems clear enough. (The code runs and works from within a
    console application.)
    
    The OS is Linux and the application server is the one that
    installs with the J2EE sdk from Sun. It is installed within my
    home directory and runs under my user ID exposing deployed JSPs
    at http://localhost:8080/
    
    I've added the following code to both my ~/.java.policy file and
    the ${java.home}/jdk/jre/lib/security/java.policy file:
    
    grant codeBase "http://localhost:8080/-" {
    permission java.io.FilePermission "/usr/bin/killall", "execute";
    permission java.security.AllPermission;
    };
    
    Neither of the entries in either of the files makes any
    difference. The only change I've made that has any affect at all
    is to change the command from 'killall ...' to '/usr/bin/killall
    ...' which changed the file reference in the exception from "<<ALL
    FILES>>" to "/usr/bin/killall".
    
    Each time I made a change in the policy files, I restarted the
    application server to make sure it was using the new file contents.
    
    I'm clearly overlooking something or have something wrong. Any
    suggestions on how to resolve this would be most welcomed!
    
    thanks,

  - Failed to load or instantiate TagExtraInfo classI am using struts-1.3.8 tiles together with Spring, now I wanted to
    implement my own custom tag. Following a book example, I wrote a
    TagHandler that extends "SimpleTagSupport". Eclipse told me I needed
    to import the jsp-api.2.0.jar from tomcat, so I did.
    
    However, this always results in the error:
    
    org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /WEB-INF/jsp/myjsp.jsp(1,1) Unable
    to read TLD "META-INF/tld/struts-tiles.tld" from JAR file
    "file:myFileLocation": org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Failed to
    load or instantiate TagExtraInfo class:
    org.apache.struts.tiles.taglib.UseAttributeTei
    
    I did some research on the web, there it's said not to include the jsp-
    api.2.0.jar (but not why not to), and yes, this solves the problem -
    but how can I implement my Tag handler without using this jar file?
    Eclipse doesn't find the required classes otherwise...
    
    Thanks in advance,

  - Dangerous code up for peer reviewHi,
    looking for some advice,
    
    I have a database for addresses coded in java.
    
    to print the addresses, a jframe is popped up that holds various report
    layouts.
    the user chooses a layout then this launches Jasper reports.
    
    basically when the user presses the print button is the current screen is
    hidden.
    then a report layout screen is popped up, ( this cannot be a modal, as it
    would sit on top of any screen generated by jreports)
    
    the problem was , as the report layout screen was not a modal , the code was
    returning directly back to the "mother screen" ,and un-hiding it.
    
    to get round this problem I have implemented a couple of linked lists, where
    the mother screens sets up a separate thread and then calls the child
    screens to get their status.
    
    here is a small section of the jasper report compiler
    private void CancelButton_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    sendStatus(CMD_SIGNAL_GOOD_EXIT); //send exit to calling routine
    
    this.setVisible(false);
    }
    private void this_windowClosed(WindowEvent e) {
    sendStatus(CMD_SIGNAL_GOOD_EXIT); //send exit to calling routine
    
    //cancel the import
    //here we need to exit the screen
    this.dispose();
    }
    
    ......
    
    here is the signalling routine.
    
    public void sendStatus(int currentStatus) {
    String aa = String.valueOf(currentStatus);
    addWork(aa);
    }
    
    public synchronized void addWork(Object o) {
    queue.addLast(o);
    notify();
    }
    
    //it is possible that the program could get hung here
    //if the normal flow is interrupted
    public synchronized int getWork() throws InterruptedException {
    while (queue.isEmpty()) {
    wait();
    
    }
    
    return Integer.parseInt((String) queue.removeFirst());
    }
    
    to stop the mother screen from being shown i have
    
    r = new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
    try {
    
    call the layoutscreen & jasper reports here
    ReportWriter doReport = new ReportWriter(params,
    my_vars.dbconn, errorlogger);
    while (statusFlag != CMD_SIGNAL_GOOD_EXIT) {
    statusFlag = doReport.getWork();
    }
    } catch (Exception ex) {
    Error_stuff.handleError(ex, -1, -1);
    } finally {
    show();
    repaint(); //refresh the screen
    }
    }
    };
    new Thread(r).start();
    } catch (Exception ex) {
    Error_stuff.handleError(ex, -1, -1);
    }
    
    i'm not really happy with the safety of the code, even though the exceptions
    and all exits from the child screen are covered, and after testing the mother
    screen is always shown again, even after an error.

  - improve J2EE performanceI have installed on my computer Sun J2EE server to use IMQ.
    Normally after boot I digit :
    ./[path]/bin/asadmin start-domain domain1
    but the performance aren't good , because I use an application with (more
    or less) some hundreds msg/minute.
    How Can I improve this server's performance ?
    I can start this server on another runlevel or I can allocate to him more
    resources ?

  - Confused about referencing info stored in a JFrame
    I've tried to develop several JFrame programs in the past and it
    always drives me crazy because I can't figure out how to set Classes
    I've developed, which aren't Components, but are critical to storing
    information necessary for the program to operate, so that they can be
    seen by components inside the frame. I'm not very knowledgable about
    the structure and coding of Swing/AWT programs, but I understand the
    princepals of passing data between methods and classes, and it is very
    frustrating to me that I cannot find an easy way (or even a working
    way at this point) to reference the info with my program the way I
    need to.
    
    To illustrate my question with a real example, I'm trying to write a
    program which allows employees at my job to easily receive products
    from deliveries by scanning the barcode on the product or putting in
    the supplier code on the invoice.
    
    The program needs to be able to extract product info from the database
    (to match the scanned barcode and to give the receiver visual
    verification that the info in the system is correct), and it needs to
    be able to match the product with the vendor, and thus the vendor
    codes, which go with the invoice.
    
    I've connected my first draft/test program to the database using a
    class I call dbInfo. This class stores the connection information
    specific to our database, and also acts as a container/manager for
    other classes which populate arraylists such as VendorList, BrandList,
    and lists for any other info which is tied to a primary key in the
    database and might change during the use of the program (this way in
    the info in the form can be refreshed by simply using one dbInfo
    method).
    
    My dbInfo class populates all its info into the appropriate lists
    correctly. I cannot, however, get my components to see this info.
    For example, I have a VendorBox, which is a JComboBox that selects the
    vendor for the invoice.
    
    My original vendorBox grabbed its vendor information directly from the
    database by storing its own JDBC info and generating the SQL statement
    itself. This worked fine, but is not very modular, I had to add code
    to every other component that dealt with this info which would to
    reference the specific VendorBox on that JFrame form. If I could get
    the components to see the dbInfo for the form, I could just store the
    reference to VendorBox as dbInfo.invoiceVendor and any other component
    could have easy access to it by simply knowing where dbInfo was.
    
    Long explanations can be hard to read, so here's a basic diagram
    
    ------------------------------
    JFrame
    |
    }Components
    | }VendorBox ( a ComboBox which selects the
    | vendor to receive from )
    |
    }dbInfo (not a component)
    }VendorList
    ------------------------------
    My Question: How to I get VendorBox to see VendorList (or dbInfo for
    that matter)?
    ------------------------------
    
    *Note: I'm using Netbeans 5.5, which doesn't allow me to edit the
    component initialisation proccess inline. I think I might be able to
    do this using the properties window, but I haven't had any luck
    getting this to work*
    
    What I've tried:
    
    Just putting it in based on its name and location:
    
    1) A direct reference - using a setdbInfo() method, which sets the
    dbInfo equal to JFrameName.dbInfoVariableName. Netbeans gives me a
    variable (or symbol or something of the like) not found.
    
    2) The Netbeans property window - because I have setdbInfo() and
    getdbInfo() fields in my VendorBox class, Netbeans shows dbInfo in the
    property window. Trying to edit this property gives me a form which
    among other things says 'form connection mode' and has options like
    'from property' and 'from method'. None of the options have any
    options to select within them, which I think is because i need to do
    something to set up the form connections, but I'm not sure and my own
    personal searches have not presented me with useful information.
    
    At this point I thought I'd try to make a finddbInfo class, which
    would just find the dbInfo class by crawling its way out
    
    3) Introspection - When I read the description of this I sighed
    relief, I thought it would show me the class that my VendorBox was
    inside, but as far as I can tell it only shows you the class
    inheritance information. I tried all the getxxx() commands netbeans
    offered for code completion, but all I got back was info from the
    classes my vendorBox was built on or null.
    
    4) VendorBox.getParent() - combined with introspection, I used this to
    progress a Class from displaying info about my vendorBox to info about
    its containing panels, when I progressed to the outmost panel,
    however, instead of getting the JFrame info on the next entry, I got
    null.
    
    At this point I cried, cut myself, and poured the rest of my drink out
    for my dead homies.
    
    Please help me, I enjoy using Java because I can work with it quickly,
    but I feel like screaming sometimes because I can't pass a simple
    piece of info to a component. I've learned so much more than I needed
    to and wasted so much valuable time trying to do this and I know in my
    heart that there is an easy answer that will make me feel
    simultaneously stupid and relieved. I need that feeling like you
    wouldn't believe, and I'm sure there our other amateur programers out
    there who could benefit greatly by understanding why my methods don't
    work.
    
    On that note, if you could even explain why solutions like 1) or 4)
    don't work, I think a lot of people could benefit from that info.

  - Latte Diablo JRE 1.3.1 binary package on FreeBSD4.7Hi All,
    
    I was wondering if anyone else at Imeme has had any success with getting
    JDK /usr/ports/java/jdk13 working on their jail.
    
    Also if anyone on the freebsd-java list has any experience getting jdk13
    working on FreeBSD 4.7 I would much appreciate any help.
    
    The build command I am running in /usr/ports/java/jdk13 is
    
    make build FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=1 WITHOUT_X11=1
    
    I am not sure if I need (or if it does anything) the WITHOUT_X11=1 but I
    know that we aren't running X11 and have used that on ports before so
    thought I would try it.
    
    make goes off and does a lot of stuff and ends with the following:
    
    ---------------------------------
    
    gmake[3]: *** No rule to make target
    `../../../build/bsd-i386/classes/META-INF/services/javax.sound.sampled.spi.FormatConversionProvider',
    needed by `copy-files'. Stop.
    gmake[3]: Leaving directory
    `/usr/ports/java/jdk13/work/j2sdk1.3.1/make/javax/sound'
    gmake[2]: *** [optimized] Error 2
    gmake[2]: Leaving directory
    `/usr/ports/java/jdk13/work/j2sdk1.3.1/make/javax/sound'
    gmake[1]: *** [all] Error 1
    gmake[1]: Leaving directory
    `/usr/ports/java/jdk13/work/j2sdk1.3.1/make/javax'
    gmake: *** [all] Error 1
    *** Error code 2
    
    Stop in /usr/ports/java/jdk13.
    
    --------------------------------
    
    I tried a make clean and then the same command just in case and same thing.
    
    This looks like something to do with sound. Seeing as we don't actually
    need sound to work I wonder if there is a way to skip that. Anyone know
    where I could look?
    
    Cheers,
    Pete

  - Problem in configuring eclipse to point to a jdk instead of jreHi all,
    
    I am trying to use eclipse as the IDE with the m2eclipse plugin; I
    have created the project structure using maven2 in the command line;
    then I create the eclipse project files with "mvn eclipse:eclipse"
    
    When I import the project into eclipse... the maven2 builder has
    errors such as "tools.jar is missing" or "1 artifact is missing"
    
    I searched a few forumns and found that eclipse didn't use JDK but JRE
    to compile classes and tools.jar is only available under JDK....
    
    So my question is how to solve this problem? I've tried to create
    another JRE to point to JDK folder... but failed
    
    PS. I could build the whole project under command line "mvn clean
    compile"
    
    I'm using a Windows XP Professional OS; maven 2.0.7; jdk 1.5.0.12;
    eclipse Europa

  - What Size Screen Do You Design For?Most of what I've done in Java is for a small business and any GUI had to be
    able to be run in a 640x480 screen because some of the software goes on
    servers that are hooked up to cheap monitors that aren't used often.
    
    Now I'm writing some simple programs and utilities that I can use and I'm
    sure others will like. I'll be releasing them as open source so people can
    do what they like. I've realized that I don't have to be bound by the
    640x480 screen size anymore, but I don't know what most people tend to have
    as a minimum now days.
    
    For just simple stuff that I'd like for most people to be able to use, what
    can I count on as the smallest screen size in general use? I was thinking
    800x600, but a few friends have told me that most people now can do larger
    than that now.
    
    So what do you count on as a screen size your Java GUI programs can expect?
    
    Thanks!

  - C++ to Java aplet, need help to understand.Hi,
    
    I have a c++ application that uses Direct X to get images from my webcam.
    Now I want to stream images from my application to the internet.
    
    I just want to make sure I understand how a java applet would, (should?),
    work.
    
    When the user load the page where the java applet is located, the applet
    makes a request to my machine for an image.
    The applet then displays the image at a certain location in the page.
    So a java applet does not really 'stream' videos, instead it makes a request
    for an image every 'x' seconds.
    
    All the applet needs is address and port where my application is located,
    (and the name of the function that will return the frame).
    
    Sadly I have no knowledge of Java, (well a little maybe).
    Where could I find some code for an applet that would make a request to my
    application.
    How can a java applet make a request to a win 32 c++ application?
    
    And what would the code look like in an html page?
    
    Many thanks in advance for any help/code.

    That's not a problem; I wasn't proposing changing the semantics of the
    invokevirtual instruction for somebody to complain that the parallel
    using reflection behaves differently from a hardcoded invocation. What
    we do need to change is reflexive field access: it should invoke the
    getters & setters when the field isn't found. But that's pretty
    logical.

    Maybe, but I still think it's straightforward for novices to
    understand that what looks like a field access may be an invocation,
    once you explain it to them. There are tougher concepts novices must
    understand.
