Terrible code, by the way. Yours is an example of how not to write good servlets. You're new to Java, so it can be excused. If you're new, why start with a servlet? Most people begin with "Hello, world". Are you already beyond that?I don't know the story with this newbie, but there are just too many instructors that must be introducing Java in heinous ways, like via scriptlets stuck in JSP. It used to be the misconception that Java was mainly for writing applets; now the misconception is that it's mainly for scriptlets.
It's gotten to the point that I don't want to look at any posted question about JSP or servlets. I know the code will be so bad that only first advice is to start over, but the only thing the poster wants to hear is how to hack their code further.

How can I open help file (HTML or .chm) from Java Web Start (new to JAVA)

Hi All,
Im trying to open the help file of my application.
When trying to access the help file from the GUI (pressing F1 for launching the help file), I'm geting the an error, something like:
"Can't show help URL: jar:file:C:\Documents and Settings\%USER%\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\javaws\cache\http\Dlocalhost\P7001\DMwebstart\RMjar-name!/com/resources/helpFiles/MyHelpFile.html"
It seems that the file which is packed in a jar, was downloaded to the Java Web Start cache directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\%USER%\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\javaws\cache\http\Dlocalhost\P7001\DMwebstart
The code which is activated when launching the help file is:
try
            ResourceBundle resourceBundle = DoubleResourceBundle.getBundle("Resource", "ResourceImpl");
            RuntimeUtil.launchFile(new File(resourceBundle.getString("help.file")));
        } catch (IOException e)
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }where the property "help.file" is in some property file in the resource bundle named "Resource", and looks like this :
help.file="com/trax/docs/help/global/MyHelpFile.html"
The function "RuntimeUtil.launchFile" knows how to launch any file in its default application, and indeed it does launches the html, when giving it an absolute path to the file on my PC, as "C:\Helpfiles\MyHelpFile.html" as such:
RuntimeUtil.launchFile("C:\Helpfiles\MyHelpFile.html");My question is :
The application is going to be deployed on a Customer PC. How can I access the html file from the code, with a relative path and not its absolute path on the customer pc, which I can't know?
I found these restrictions regarding web start:
(copied from "http://rachel.sourceforge.net/"):
*Rule 1: Java Archives only. No loose files.* All your resources have to be packaged in Java Archives (jar) if you want to have
them delivered to the user's machine and kept up-to-date automatically by Java Web Start.
*Rule 2: No file paths.* You can't use absolute or relative file paths to locate your
jars holding your resources (e.g. <code>jar:file:///c:/java/jws/.cache/resources.jar</code>).
Absolute file paths won't work because you never know where Java Web Start
will put your jar on the user's machine. Relative file paths won't work because Java Web Start
mangles the names of your jars (e.g. <code>venus.jar</code> becomes <code>RMvenus.jar</code>)
and every JNLP client implementation has the right to mangle your names
in a different way and you, therefore, can't predict the name with
which your jar will be rechristend and end up on the user's machine in
the application cache.Seems complex or impossible, to perform a simple task like opening a file.
Please advise (I'm new to Java and Web Start).
BTW, I'm working with IntelliJ IDEA 5.0.
Thanks,
Zedik.

What's new in Java 4

Anybody can quickly explain the things are added in Java 4 newly.
Thnx in advance.

Nothing's new in Java 4 because there is no Java 4.
Maybe you mean Java 5?
Or maybe you mean Java 1.4?
In either case, either the download page for that version, or the installation, should have release notes that answer your question.
In fact, here they are for Java 5:

New TO JAVA Programming

Dear Forummembers,
I am student doing postgraduate studies in IT.i have some queries related to one of my programming staff.i am very much new into Java programming and i am finding it a bit difficult to handle this program.The synopsis of the program is given below -
You are required to design and code an object-oriented java program to process bookings for a theatre perfomance.
Your program will read from a data file containing specifications of the performance,including the names of the theatre, the play and its author and the layout of the theatre consisting of the number of seats in each row.
It will then run a menu driven operation to accept theatre bookings or display the current
status of seating in the theatre.
The name of the file containing the details of the performance and the theatre should be
provided at the command line, eg by running the program with the command:
java Booking Theatre.txt
where Theare.txt represents an example of the data file.
A possible data file is:
Opera
U and Me
Jennifer Aniston
5 10 10 11 12 13 14
The data provided is as follows
Line 1
Name of the Theatre
Line 2
Name of the play being performed
Line 3
Name of the author of the play being performed
Line 4
A list of the lengths (number of seats) of each row in the theatre, from front to
back.
The program must start by reading this file, storing all the appropriate parameters and
establishing an object to accept bookings for this performance with all details for the theatre
and performance.
The program should then start a loop in which a menu is presented to the user, eg:
Select from the following:
B - Book seats
T - Display Theatre bookings
Q - Quit from the program
Enter your choice:
And keep performing selected operations until the user�s selects the quit option, when the
program should terminate.
T - Display Theatre bookings
The Display Theatre Bookings option should display a plan of the theatre. Every available
seat should be displayed containing its identification, while reserved seats should contain an
Rows in each theatre are indicated by letters starting from �A� at the front. Seats are
numbered from left to right starting from 1. A typical seat in the theatre might be designated
D12, representing seat 12 in row D.
B - Book seats
The booking of seats is to offer a number of different options.
First the customer must be asked how many adjacent seats are
required. Then start a loop offering a further menu of choices:
Enter one of the following:
The first seat of a selected series, eg D12
A preferred row letter, eg F
A ? to have the first available sequence selected for you
A # to see a display of all available seats
A 0 to cancel your attempt to book seats
Enter your selection:
1. If the user enters a seat indentifier such B6, The program should attempt to
reserve the required seats starting from that seat. For example if 4 seats are
required from B6, seats B6, B7, B8 and B9 should be reserved for the customer,
with a message confirming the reservation and specifying the seats reserved..
Before this booking can take place, some testing is required. Firstly, the row
letter must be a valid row. Then the seat number must be within the seats in the
row and such that the 4 seats would not go beyond the end of the row. The
program must then check that none of the required seats is already reserved.
If the seats are invalid or already reserved, no reservation should be made and the
booking menu should be repeated to give the customer a further chance to book
seats.
If the reservation is successful, return to the main menu.
2. The user can also simply enter a row letter, eg B.IN this case, the program should
first check that the letter is a valid row and then offer the user in turn each
adjacent block of the required size in the specified row and for each ask whether
the customer wants to take them. Using the partly booked theatre layout above, if
the customer wanted 2 seats from row B, the customer should be offered first:
Seats B5 to B6
then if the customer does not want them:
Seats B10 to B11
and finally
Seats B11 to B12
If the customer selects a block of seats, then return to the main menu. If none are
selected, or there is no block of the required size available in the row, then report
that no further blocks of the required size are available in the row and repeat the
booking menu.
3. If the user enters a ? the program should offer the customer every block of seats
of the required size in the whole theatre. This process should start from the first
row and proceed back a row at a time. For example, again using the partially
booked theatre shown above, if the user requested 9 seats, the program should
offer in turn:
Seats A1 to A9
Seats C1 to C9
Seats C2 to C10
Seats E3 to E11
Seats E4 to E12
If the customer selects a block of seats, then return to the main menu. If none are
selected, or there is no block of the required size available in the whole theatre,
then report that no further blocks of the required size are available and repeat the
booking menu.
4. If the user enters a # the program should display the current status of the seating
in the theatre, exactly the same as for the T option from the main menu and then
repeat the booking menu.
5. If the user enters a 0 (zero), the program should exit from the booking menu back
to the main menu. If for example the user wanted 9 seats and no block of 9 was
left in the theatre, he would need to make two separate smaller bookings.
The program should perform limited data validation in the booking process. If a single
character other than 0, ? and # is entered, it should be treated as a row letter and then tested
for falling within the range of valid rows, eg A to H in the example above. Any invalid row
letters should be rejected.
If more than one character is entered, the first character should be tested as a valid row letter,
and the numeric part should be tested for falling within the given row. You are NOT
required to test for valid numeric input as this would require the use of Exception handling.
You are provided with a class file:
Pad.java
containing methods that can be used for neat alignment of the seat identifiers in the theatre
plan.
File Processing
The file to be read must be opened within the program and if the named file does not exist, a
FileNotFoundException will be generated. It is desirable that this Exception be caught and
a corrected file name should be asked for.
This is not required for this assignment, as Exception handling has not been covered in this
Unit. It will be acceptable if the method simply throws IOException in its heading.
The only checking that is required is to make sure that the user does supply a file on the
command line, containing details of the performance. This can be tested for by checking the
length of the parameter array args. The array length should be 1. If not, display an error
message telling the user the correct way to run the program and then terminate the program
System.exit(0);
The file should be closed after reading is completed.
Program Requirements
You are expected to create at least three classes in developing a solution to this problem.
There should be an outer driving class, a class to represent the theatre performance and its
bookings and a class to represent a single row within the theatre.
You will also need to use arrays at two levels. You will need an array of Rows in the Theatre
class.
Each Row object will need an array of seats to keep track of which seats have been reserved.
Your outer driving class should be called BookingOffice and should be submitted in a file named BookingOffice.java
Your second, third and any additional classes, should be submitted in separate files, each
class in a .java file named with the same name as the class
I am also very sorry to give such a long description.but i mainly want to know how to approach for this program.
also how to designate each row about it's column while it is being read from the text file, how to store it, how to denote first row as row A(second row as row B and so on) and WHICH CLASS WILL PERFORM WHICH OPERATIONS.
pls do give a rough guideline about designing each class and it's reponsibilty.
thanking u and looking forward for your help,
sincerely
RK

yes i do know that........but can u ppl pls mention
atleast what classes shud i consider and what will be
the functions of each class?No, sorry. Maybe somebody else will, but in general, this is not a good question for this forum. It's too broad, and the question you're asking is an overall problem solving approach that you should be familiar with at this point.
These forums are best suited to more specific questions. "How do I approach this homework?" is not something that most people are willing or able to answer in a forum like this.

New to JAVA, but old school to programming

Objects & Classes & Methods, Oh my!
I'm pretty new to java, but I've been programming in several languages over the years. I thought it was about time to update my skill set, especially with the job market as it is today. I wanted to go JAVA because it's not specific to any environment.
I picked up a begining JAVA book and was a little confused. When I was learning programming a program was called a program. a peice of code in a program called by a statement was called a subroutine (it was performed then control returned to the calling line and continued).
Now I'm trying to make sense of everything I have read so far and trying to relate it back to my old school of thinking. I was hoping it would make it easier to retain and I could expand it as I learn and possibly realize that it IS different. I know it's a new way of thinking, but stay with me for minute.
What I used to call a program is now a CLASS in JAVA (this can be a collection of code or other objects). A sub-routine in a CLASS is a Method. I know that the language part will come as I use it since I understand if's then's and whatever you use to gosub or goto, but I want to make sure I have down the lingo before I go to deep.

I have no idea how you can compare Java to Cobol.
DataFlex? How about that! In about '84 I switched to
DataFlex from dBaseII. In '91 DataFlex changed from
procedural to OOP. It took most of us at least a year
to adjust, and then some to write concrete code. It
was tough. They had bugs and we were limited with DOS.
BUT, it was a great OOP training experience. Anyhow,
needless to day Java is miles ahead on all fronts.Small world. I was stuck in the old DataFlex Ver 2.3 at that time. The company I worked for had the newer OOP package. I did get to work with it some, but not enough to become totally familiar with it. We started to move out of DataFlex towards PowerBuilder towards the end of 1995. I did get some OOP from that experience, but again only enough to learn about global variables, instance variables, and a few other items. I hoping that I will be able to get the solid OOP background that I need from JAVA since I hear through the grapevine that it may be a new tool that we will be looking at to enhance our programming. I was looking at PERL but even the PERL programmers we have agree that JAVA is more scalable.

New to Java and need help with this program..please!

I'd really appreciate any helpful comments about this program assignment that I have to turn in a week from Friday. I'm taking a class one night a week and completely new to Java. I'd ask my professor for help, but we can't call him during the week and he never answers e-mails. He didn't tell us how to call from other classes yet, and I just can't get the darn thing to do what I want it to do!
The assignment requirements are:
1. Change a card game application that draws two cards
and the higher card wins, to a Blackjack application
2. Include a new class called Hand
3. The Hand class should record the number of draws
4. The application should prompt for a number of draws
5. The game is played against the Dealer
6. The dealer always draws a card if the dealer's hand total is <= 17
7. Prompt the player after each hand if he wants to quit
8. Display the total games won by the dealer and total and the total games wond by the player after each hand
9. Display all of the dealer's and player's cards at the
end of each hand
10. Player has the option of drawing an additional card after the first two cards
11. The Ace can have a value of 11 or 1
(Even though it's not called for in the requirements, I would like to be able to let the Ace have a value of 1 or an 11)
The following is my code with some comments about a few things that are driving me nuts:

Thank you so much for offering to help me with this Jamie! When I tried to call change value using:
Card dealer = (d.changeValue());
I get an error message saying:
Incompatible types found: int
required: Card
I had my weekly class last night and the professor cleared up a few things for me, but I've not had time to make all of the necessary changes. I did find out how toString worked, so that's one question out of the way, and he gave us a lot of information for adding another class to generate random numbers.
Again, thank you so much. I really want to learn this but I'm feeling so stupid right now. Any help you can give me about the above error message would be appreciated.

New to java: how to replace an image extending a JComponent?

Hi,
I'm new to Java and I have a question about Swing:
I have a class called ActiveImage (entends JComponent, implements     MouseMotionListener, MouseWheelListener) which takes an Image and displays it. It also receives some mouse events for zooming and moving it around. I display it in a JFrame using:
content = getContentPane();
content.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
image = toolkit.getImage (filename);
ActiveImage activeImage = new ActiveImage(image);
content.add(activeImage, BorderLayout.CENTER);
(This code is in a class extending JFrame.)
This works fine. However, this JFrame also contains a JToolbar with two buttons. Now when I click one of them, I want to replace the image with another one. I've tried removing it and creating a new ActiveImage to add that to content, but that didn't work very well. remove() resulted in a NullPointerException.
My question: what would be the best way to go about this?
Many thanks for any help,
Diederick de Vries

        at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForHierarchy(EventDispatchThread.java:163)Just before this, it says "button clicked". The function that calls the setImage() goes:
theButton.addActionListener (new ActionListener() {
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
          System.out.println("button clicked");
          activeImage.setImage(image);
});Reading the trace, I would think that the exception has something to do with this last code, since it stops there (line 60 is the setImage()). If the setImage() function itself was where the fault was, wouldn't the trace end there?
I'm really at a loss here ... :-(

New to Java(TM) ME Platform SDK 3.0 how to open multiple emulators?

Hi im new to Java Mobile Phone apps.
I want to make a bluetooth game and theres a great bluetooth example in the package but i just cant find anywhere i can open 2 or more emulators.
The compiler does'nt allow multiple instances either, Havent found a setting to change that either.
Please help thank you.

ooo apperently you have to "copy" the project and then change the emulator settings for the project to use a diffrent emulator shell. also you have to fix all build errors.

PLz Help New To Java

Hey im brand new to java and i just downloaded and installed jdk-1_5_0_01-windows-i586-p now im tryin to set up the PATH permanently but i have no clue how to i went to the install notes and typed in C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_<windows>\bin in the command.com but everytime i do it says access is denied. i have no clue how to set up the path permanently beside what i tried plz help!!!

You didn't which OS you are running, but it's fairly similar for all windows.
Start->settings->control panel->system->advanced->environment variables
Go to System variables, click on path, click edit button and add a semicolon and the path at the end. DO NOT REPLACE EVERYTHING THAT'S THERE NOW.
I don't have 1.5 installed on this computer, but I'm willing to bet the real path doesn't have '<windows>' in it. Use Windows Explorer to find out where java.exe actually exists on the hard disk and use that path

Im new to java and hope somebody can help me with my question

Hi!
Im quite new to java and I just have some simple questions..
can someone please tell what kinds of error are considered as language violation for java? where can I find more info about these errors?
can someone give me a simple example on a kind of error that cannot be caught in both compilation and runtime? I hope someone can help me out. Thanks in advance!!

Im just asking about errors that might go against the language definition but cant be detected.. If it "goes against the language defintion," it will be detected by the compiler. That's half of the compiler's job is to tell you what you've done that violates the language spec.
because it confuses me when they say that such errors might occur so I just want to know what might these errors be.. sorry for that..Who's "they"? What exactly* did "they" say about "such errors"? It sounds to me like you're just confused, and you think there's something mysterious and inexplicable going on but you don't know what and don't even know what you're asking.
I would suggest not worrying about hypothetical problems that you can't even put into words and focussing on learning Java. Along the way, if you encounter real, specific, actual problems, ask about them, and you'll probably get answers about the problems themselves and the language or theory behind them.

The code for the remote implementation compile and runs, but the other code for services compiles but come back with the following error message at runtime:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main
I have included one of the services code below this happens with:
import javax.swing.*;

    JLabel label;
    JComboBox numOfDice;
    public JPanel getGuiPanel() {

       String[] choices = {"1", "2", "3", "4", "5"};
       numOfDice = new JComboBox(choices);
       label = new JLabel("dice values here");
       button.addActionListener(new RollEmListener());
       panel.add(numOfDice);
       panel.add(button);
       panel.add(label);
       return panel;

         int numOfDiceToRoll = Integer.parseInt(selection);
         for (int i = 0; i < numOfDiceToRoll; i++) {
            int r = (int) ((Math.random() * 6) + 1);
            diceOutput += (" " + r);
        label.setText(diceOutput);
}

how I do get suitable server running, can I not test the code on a local ip address first, i have included the remote implementation code below, can you advise how I can resolve this please or point me in the right direction?
import java.rmi.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.rmi.server.*;

Issue with new EWS Java 1.2 license and ambiguity

If this isn't the proper place for this thread, then please let me know where it should go.
I noticed that EWS Java 1.2 has been marked with an Apache 2.0 license. Let me just say this...
FINALLY!
If ever there was a project that needed it, it's EWS Java. That API has seemingly turned into abandonware and the old license forbade redistribution of modified source, so the many bugs in it had to be independently fixed by devs around the world. Not fun.
With a proper open source license, this problem can be alleviated.
HOWEVER...
After downloading the zip file from the new EWS Java page, I've found that while the Apache 2.0 license is present in the root directory, the earlier and more restrictive license is still present in the project directory. This introduces ambiguity into the
license terms. Not good. I would not be comfortable redistributing modified (or even original) source code with this kind of ambiguity, even if it's just an oversight on Microsoft's part. Please remove the old license entirely from the API.
Also, if possible, can this get an official repository? The new license is great, but with only a zip file as an "official" source, it's begging for fragmentation across who-knows-how-many repositories and accounts, especially since it's not even
a proper Maven project.
I'd love to do some work on EWS Java myself (I've already fixed a number of bugs), but with the license issues and lack of an official repository, that doesn't seem terribly feasible.

I'm not sure if you're going to be able to reliably find an actual fulltime MSFT person (especially targeted towards a specific product group) in any of these forums. You might try posting a comment on this blog post though, that might help get someone's
attention:

We do have a Microsoft employee who moderates this forum, but since this forum is only meant for feedback on the defunct TechNet subscriptions I don't think he'll be able to help you out very much. We'll see though, maybe Mike has some Exchange team connections
that I don't know about.

New to java, having trouble with classes

I am new to java and I am having problems importing classes in my first program, please help

hi
please tell, what`s your problem exatly?

Very New to Jave, need to do totals/subtotals

Hi, (I hope this is the right place)
I'm VERY new to Java (I mainly do wourk with php interfaces for MyAQL databases).
Up until now, there hasn't been anything I couldn't do with PHP that I needed to...
My boss recently requested subtotals/totals at various points on an input sheet. The sheet inputs numbers of people, so I'm not worried about rounding (The php already takes care of people trying to input parts of people....) or tax.
It's a rather large form (~144 lines) and the math is already in place to do the subtotaling (among other things) before entering the information into the database.
How would I go about writing script that would display sub totals, and recalculate them every time one of the boxes value's is modified?
Is this something javascript is designed to do? Is there a better language out there for this task?
I've found sites out there that have canned subtotal/total scripts, but I don't want something pre-made unless it comes with a detailed explaination of what everything does; if I'm going to maintain it, I have to understand it.
Thanks

Is this a web form? e.g. a html form with input fields?
You can add onchange or onblur events to your input fields to detect changes. Then you can use javascript to retrieve the values from the form and do the calculation.
