  - Analytical or IntuitiveI have a test online that measures cognitive style. It determines
    whether the participant has an intuitive or analytical learning style.
    It takes about 5 minutes.
    
    It's here: http://www.elena.com
    
    I'm a long-time software engineer who's thinking about changing
    careers, hence the psychology course. I ended up wanting to study
    people like me (not surprising I guess).
    
    I know the sample will be non-probabilistic. So this will be a
    quasi-experiment.

  - help with saving a JPanel to jpgI have a JPanel that I paint with a graph. The upper 40% is a graph
    with a grid background, and the rest is a legend for the graph. When I
    try to save the JPanel as a jpg, I get an image with the same
    dimensions but there is no graph or legend and the grid, which uses the
    dimensions to set the upper grid limit, covers the entire panel.
    Everything on screen is fine. The current code is below. I've tried
    the available varieties of paint and tried using the Robot class
    (though this could be explored more). Any tips on where I'm messing up
    or what could be changed to get this working would be appreciated.
    
    java.awt.image.BufferedImage image = new java.awt.image.BufferedImage(
    panel.getPreferredSize().width,
    panel.getPreferredSize().height,
    java.awt.image.BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
    java.awt.Graphics2D g = image.createGraphics();
    g.setRenderingHint(java.awt.RenderingHints.KEY_FRACTIONALMETRICS,
    java.awt.RenderingHints.VALUE_FRACTIONALMETRICS_ON);
    g.setRenderingHint(java.awt.RenderingHints.KEY_TEXT_ANTIALIASING,
    java.awt.RenderingHints.VALUE_TEXT_ANTIALIAS_ON);
    panel.paintAll(g);
    g.dispose();
    javax.imageio.ImageIO.write(image, "jpeg",
    new java.io.File("./" + jtf.getText() + ".jpg"));
    image.flush();

  - Thread for ProgressBarHi all,
    
    I have a question on threading for the progressbar.
    
    My program will call a few methods and those methods are really time
    consuming, the time it takes all depends on how much information are
    being pump in, sometimes it can be less than half a minute, sometimes
    it can go up to few minutes. So determining the percentage of the
    progressbar is impossible.
    
    So how do I find out the total length of the process so that I can
    update the progressbar's percentage accordingly?

  - Detecting KeyBoard events on a JDialogHello,
    
    i have a JDialog subclass, with a lot of components in it, and i would
    like to detect Ctrl+C on it. I've tried to use this:
    
    protected void register(JComponent jcomp) {
    Action action = new AbstractAction("Action") {
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
    System.err.println("Action!!!");
    }
    };
    
    KeyStroke key = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_C,
    KeyEvent.CTRL_DOWN_MASK);
    
    jcomp.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW).put(key, "myaction");
    jcomp.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_FOCUSED).put(key, "myaction");
    jcomp.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_ANCESTOR_OF_FOCUSED_COMPONENT).put(key,
    "myaction");
    
    jcomp.getActionMap().put("myaction", action);
    }
    
    wich is call like that:
    
    register((JComponent)getContentPane());
    register((JComponent)getGlassPane());
    register(getRootPane());
    
    but my action is never performed.
    
    So i've registered a KeyListener recursively on my dialog, and the
    keylistener is called with getSource() returning the dialog ref. But the
    dialog has no inputMap so how can i do?
    
    I can't use the recursive trick because there are 2 JTables in the
    Dialog which must keep its default copy behavior, and a lot of text
    fields too.
    
    Thanks for any help.

  - jbutton/jlabel disspearing textHi,
    
    I have created a few JButtons/JLabels but the text on them seems to
    disappear depending on the platform the gui is run on (The disappearing text
    appears as "..."). How is it possible to set the size of the label/button
    according to the length of the text?

  - Servlet LDAP Web Server AuthenticationThis may not be the correct place to post this; however, please bear
    with me.
    
    Platform: Solaris 9
    iPlanet Web Server
    Java Servlets/JSP website
    
    I have a servlet that displays the contents of a directory as links
    available for downloading/viewing. I have also locked this directory
    down using LDAP through the web administration page of iPlanet. What
    I would like to happen is to authenticate to the web server first,
    before the links are displayed, so that when the user clicks on the
    links, they are not prompted with the typical gray box asking for a
    username and password. I've researched and implemented JNDI,
    authenticated to LDAP, tailed the logs, and I authenticate fine. My
    servlet loads, and the first thing it does is query ldap and
    authenticate. Next it prints out the page containing the links.
    (I've even tried not closing the context) But as soon as I click on
    the links, I am prompted again. I am assuming (and very fuzzy on how
    this works) that yes, I authenticated to LDAP. But the webserver
    doesn't know that. So how do I get the webserver to realize that I've
    already authenticated? Any help would be appreciated.
    
    Thanks,

    The problem is that it ignores the count entirely and just transfers the
    whole thing.

    As noted in the comments, you can't since the BSD implementation of
    sendfile(2) expects to be sending the file to a socket, not just any old
    file descriptor. Solaris and Linux are both ok with any old fd.

  - [JavaIDL] Releasing CORBA object references in Java ?<previously posted on comp.object.corba, with no response yet>
    
    Hi all,
    
    I really wonder what's the use of org.omg.CORBA.Object._release() and
    _duplicate().
    
    I was thinking that reference counting was the job of GC.
    
    In C++ the reference counting, via the usage or _var and _ptr and methods
    release() and duplicate(), is without ambiguity (even if complex and error
    prone). But here in Java, the introduction of _release() and _duplicate() is
    very strange.
    
    Another point for the discussion: as I am using the JDK ORB implementation,
    the Java Doc says:
    
    "
    - Object _duplicate()
    
    Returns a duplicate of this CORBA object reference. The server object
    implementation is not involved in creating the duplicate, and the
    implementation cannot distinguish whether the original object reference or a
    duplicate was used to make a request.
    
    Note that this method is not very useful in the Java platform, since
    memory management is handled by the VM. It is included for compliance with
    the CORBA APIs.
    
    The method _duplicate may return this object reference itself.
    
    - void _release()
    
    Signals that the caller is done using this object reference, so internal
    ORB resources associated with this object reference can be released. Note
    that the object implementation is not involved in this operation, and other
    references to the same object are not affected.
    "
    
    My opinion here is that releasing references or not won't make any
    difference, and duplicating them is pointless.
    
    But what does the standard says ?
    
    Thanks in advance,
    
    JC.

  - JDK 1.1.8 V1999-11-9 on recent FBSD 4Hi all,
    
    I tried to run JDK 1.1.8 V1999-11-9 (ELF version) on my FreeBSD
    4.8-STABLE box. It could not run and I had the following message:
    
    % java Linpack

    Can the JDK 1.1.8 work on recent FBSD 4 and 5?
    How can I avoid this problem?

  - how to read multiple (binary) lines from text file / stdin?
    hi group!
    
    i am writing a small tool to dump data from oracle databases and i want
    to implement the possibility to execute sql statements read from stdin
    or from a file. i have so far managed to do so, but every sql statement
    must be on a single line with no ";" at the end of each line.
    
    i would like to use an input file like this:
    
    -- file statement.sql --
    select * from table
    where thing = "something";
    ------------------------
    
    or
    
    -- file statement.sql --
    update table
    set image = '<binary data>'
    where thing = otherthing;
    ------------------------
    
    this is how the code looks so far:
    
    // code start
    
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(filename));
    
    while (((statement=in.readLine())!= null) &&(!statement.equals(""))){
    try {
    ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery(statement);
    [...]
    }
    }
    
    // code end
    
    i would like 'statement' to contain the multiline sql statement
    including all newlines so that also binary data may be inserted into the
    db so i tried to use
    
    System.setProperty("line.separator", ";");
    
    but that didn't help and also doesn't seem the right way for what i want
    to achieve. could someone please point me into the right direction on
    how to do that? the variety of different stream classes is somewhat
    confusing in terms of finding the right class for the right job.
    
    big TIA, armin

java-programmer, Uptodate MSN messenger API? Guys,

Does anyone know of an up to date MSN Messenger API in Java? I've found
similar for Yahoo and Skype, but I'd like to be able to use MSN (mainly
because our company is moving off Yahoo to MSN over the coming year).

I've searched SourceForge but everything there seems to have been
stopped at least a year ago.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Cheers,

Chris

Jabber handles quite a few protocols. Check that out.

see http://mindprod.com/jgloss/jabber.html

  - Missing Stack Trace using log4jI am creating a custom log4j appender (extends AppenderSkeleton) to
    record data into a previous developed logging system.
    
    On occasion (18 times out of test order 120,000 executions) (not
    reproducable, as of yet), I get the following message in my log file:
    
    >> 160954.679:Notification Processor #4:INFO
    com.datamodel.WorkOrder - CANNOT PROCESS PROPERLY
    java.lang.NullPointerException
    
    >> 160954.679:Notification Processor #4:INFO
    ....
    
    the line prefixed with ">>" is the log header record.
    
    My problem is that I do not know whether the NPE exception is generated
    and reported in the appender or in the calling code; since there is no
    stack trace printed.
    
    Is there appender debugging tools or can someone offer a suggestion
    here?

  - how to detect platform?What I really want to do is set the look and feel according to

    When I use getSystemLookAndFeelClassName() I still get the butt ugly
    metal on linux, so I'd like some way to detect which platform I'm on so
    I can set the lnf accordingly..
    
    Also, does the gtk lnf work on Windows? I've tried with sun-jdk15 and
    sun-jre15, none of which seem to have it.

  - sprite & image - j2memidp 2.0
    Java SE 5.0
    J2ME version 2.2
    
    I'm trying to create an image based on javax.microedition.lcdui.Image
    I wish to fill the image with graphic created by the code and not use a real
    image... because I want the image to change during program execution.... I
    want the image to display a circle filled with a color... I guess there is
    no such thing as a circle image so I thought first create a layer with
    Alpha=0% (transparent) and then a layer above it containing the
    circle...... - giving the impression of a circle image, the corners of the
    image object melt into the background
    
    I want this image to be put into a sprite
    
    I'm not sure how to create such an image...
    
    Please if you have any tips about this then tell me, and links to examples
    solving this problem is very welcome :-)

  - hashCode for byte[]"Roedy Green" <email***@***.com> wrote in message

    > What algorithm is used for hashCode for byte[]. Where do you look to

    From section 10.7 in the JLS:
    
    The members of an array type are all of the following:
    - The public final field length, which contains the number of components of
    the array (length may be positive or zero)
    - The public method clone, which overrides the method of the same name in
    class Object and throws no checked exceptions
    - All the members inherited from class Object; the only method of Object
    that is not inherited is its clone method
    
    That says that the it uses the equals and hashCode methods from Object,
    which are actually native methods and thus VM dependent but are usually a
    permutation of the address of the object itself.
    
    What Sun really needs to do is to define an interface like Comparable for
    use with HashMap and HashSet. This interface would implement the methods:
    
    equals( Object a, Object b )
    hashCode( Object a )
    
    This would allow you to establish your own criteria for when objects are
    equal.

    Are there free alternatives?

  - JAVA NIOHello,
    
    Somewhat new to JAVA, and I swear I have looked all over on this
    problem, and found an answer, but it does not seem to work. I have a
    non blocking NIO socket client connection I can send data to the
    socket check the input buffer for data and handle it okay. If no
    activity occurs in say 10 seconds, I do an input read. From reading
    documentation, I would expect a 0 return value for a proper connection
    with no data, a -1 return value or IOexception for a bad socket
    connection. However, what is happening is that the socket connection
    is still open on both sides, the read times out and generates an
    IOexception error described as Read timed out. Does the JAVA examples
    only work when the server is also a NIO object? I say this because
    the server I am using is not written in JAVA. Any help or suggestions
    would be greatly appreciated!
    
    Thanks

  - Does object pooling *ever* make sense?I've read recently that object allocation in recent JVMs is so fast that
    it doesn't make sense to create object pools. Just create a new object
    when you need it and let the garbage collector do the work.
    
    Does this hold true when your objects are very large, though? What if
    your object contains a byte [] of length 100K? Or 1Mb?
    
    What's the breakeven point beyond which it makes sense to reuse objects?

  - Bug tracking tools for Java appWe're looking for a simple bug-tracking app. Jira looks cool, but it's not
    cheap. Bugzilla looks complicated.
    
    Any suggestions?

  - How to integrate MsWord with Java Web Application and Linux ?Hi all,
    
    We plan to develope Java web application and deployed in Linux web /
    application server. But All the clients are using Windows. Here is our
    requirement :
    
    - From Java web application we will invoke MSWord on client side
    - MSWord will access database on database server on Linux
    (may be for mail merge etc)
    
    I know for .Net application we can do that using VSTO.
    
    But what if using Java and Linux (No windows / .Net server), what
    approach can I do to get the functionality ?
    
    Using VBA/Macro + Java Web Service , can we do that ? or any other way
    ?
    
    Thank you very much for your help,
    Krist

  - Problem reading from nio socketchannels into a bytebufferAt:
    http://www.javanio.info/filearea/bookexamples/unpacked/com/ronsoft/books/nio/channels/SelectSockets.java
    
    There is sample code. In that page there are the lines:
    
    // send the data, don't assume it goes all at once
    while (buffer.hasRemaining()) {
    socketChannel.write (buffer);
    }
    // WARNING: the above loop is evil. Because
    // it's writing back to the same non-blocking
    // channel it read the data from, this code can
    // potentially spin in a busy loop. In real life
    // you'd do something more useful than this.
    
    In some of my code I have written a line more or less exactly like:
    while (buffer.hasRemaining()) {
    socketChannel.write (buffer);
    }
    
    and the code does just spin. What is an example of "something more
    useful than this"?
