How to convert a String variable as class name and method name?

i have two classes
class Student
public String insertStudent(String sname)
{ return("Student has been inserted "); }
class Teacher
public String execute(String methodName, String className)
{ //return statement of the method 'insertStudent' in the class 'Student'; }
}Now, i have a class with the main method. Here, i would like to call the method *'insertStudent'* of class *'Student'*
using the method *'execute'* of class *'Teacher',* passing the method-name and the class-name (viz. insertStudent, Student) as the
String parameter.
Can anyone please help me out. Thanks

You should have just added that as a comment on your [initial posting|http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5334953] instead of starting a new thread.

Why oh why? What do you want to achieve?
Let me tell you: there is a way to do what you try to do, but it's not recommended and should be used only very sparingly. Especially not in anything like your code, that resembles normal business logic (as opposed to an application framework such as Spring, for example).
Can you explain what exactly you want to do with that? Why should a Teacher be able to call any random method ony any other class. And what good would that do?

How to convert a String Variable to a Number and retain decimal place

Hello!
Here is my problem!
I am receiving information from a source that I cannot control. It is sending me Numbers in to form of strings.
Ex: 12,200.49
I have tried usingval() but only get " 12 " because it stops when it see a comma or period.
I have also tried using Replace() to remove the comma and period, but then my number grows, because the last two digits are now part of the number and no longer behind a decimal point.
Here is some example code
<cfset Price = "12,200.49">
<cfoutput>
#val(Price)#
<cfset Price = '#Replace(Price,",","","ALL")#'>
<BR />
#val(Price)#
<cfset Price = '#Replace(Price,".","","ALL")#'>
<BR />
#val(Price)#
<cfset Price = #NumberFormat(Price, "_____.__")#>
<BR />
FINISHED WITH #Price#
</cfoutput>
The output of the above code is this:
12
12200
1220049
FINISHED WITH 1220049.00
So, you can see that 12,200.49 is now 1,220,049.00 because the two digits where added.
What I would like to finish with is a String "12,200.49" that is now a Number like this $12,200.49
Please help!!!

HI
try this
<cfoutput>
<cfset t="12,200.49">
<cfset Price = Replace(t,",","","ALL")>
#DollarFormat(Price )#
</cfoutput>

How to get class name and method name within a class method?

Hi,
In a java class, is it possible to get its class name and the class method?
Please advise.
Thank you.

I mean whether there's any built-in command that will
return the class name instead of code it ourself, for
easier maintenance.
Possible?
this.getClass().getName();

In your post you ask how to convert a string value to a date. The value returned from the Get-AdUser is already a date. It does not need to be converted.
Bill has sshown one way to convert a date to a string and there are other methods. You need to clarify your question.
If you are really trying ot convert strings to dates then you can start with this:
[datetime]'01/21/1965 13:33:23'
Most date strings aer autodetected by the class.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How to convert a String to an Icon

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out how to convert a String (specifically one letter) to an Icon for a JTree. The program I am working on uses .png files for the icons at the moment, with each .png being a single uppercase letter. However, recent discussion has us wanting to change to something more dynamic, since we anticipate needing new letters in the near future.
My task is to modify the current codebase so that the Icons used to identify nodes in the tree are created from a Font within code, rather than reading in .png files. I have done some experimenting with creating a Label with just that String, setting the font and trying to extract the image using calls like createImage(int width, int height) and so on, but so far to no avail.
If I could figure out how to at least convert the String to an image, I could probably make it work (since I can play around with creating an ImageIcon with that image). Thanks in advance for any help.
Allan

Here is some quick and dirty code:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class BasicIcon implements Icon {
    private String text;
    public BasicIcon(String text) {
        this.text = text;
    public int getIconWidth() {
        return 16;
    public int getIconHeight() {
        return 16;
    public void paintIcon(Component c, Graphics g, int x, int y) {
        Color old = g.getColor();
        g.setColor(c.getForeground());
        g.drawString(text, x, y+13);
        g.setColor(old);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JPanel cp = new JPanel();
        for (char ch = 'A'; ch < 'F'; ++ch) {
            cp.add(new JButton("letter " + ch, new BasicIcon(String.valueOf(ch))));
        JFrame f = new JFrame("BasicIcon");
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.setContentPane(cp);
        f.pack();
        f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        f.setVisible(true);
}One thing that could be improved is the vertical positioning of the letter in the Icon.
The x,y values passed into paintIcon are the upper-left hand corner of the icon,
but the y value needed by drawString is the position of the String's baseline.
To do it right, use one of Font's getLineMetrics methods and play around with ascent.

How to swap two string variables without using a 3rd
variable?
Something like this.
Append A with B (so A equals "aabb")
Set B equal to a substring of A starting with the first character and ending at A's length minus B's length. (So B equals "aa")
Set A equal to a substring of A starting from B's length and ending at the end of A. (So A equals "bb")

Do you know of a good book about the "middle ground" (ie, these service layers)? I understand it empirically, but haven't had a lot of exposure to it.

PS: Apologies. Edited my previous post, presumably while you were composing your reply, when I finally realized what '.filed' meant.Most of my work is in web development, never been a DBA :) . The biggest 'concern' in my shop is 'separation of concerns'. The UI group reports up to a different IT head, the DB group reports up to a different IT head and so on. The looser the coupling between these systems, the lesser the project costs (Integration, QA etc) are. Martin Fowler's books contain good information about separation of concerns in an enterprise environment. The two books which i recommend are

Customize class members and methods showed by IDE

Is anyway to customize the output of the class members and methods show by IDE when you code a class?
In detail:
If you have a class A:
A myClass = new A();
and you tipe myClass.
then the IDE show you a list of class members and methods in a Dialog Box....
can you customize these????????
I want to set another output for these....
Thanks!

That's not the meaning of the question.....
When someone work with a Java IDE and are editing source, the IDE help you writing code showing you the members and methods of the object that you are working on, like these:
a.------------------------
| void setX(int x) |
| void setY(int y) |
These information is provided by the IDE. I think that it makes a special type of introspection on classes ..... but a really strong one, because it can access to private members and methods....
I want to customize these behaviour....... and i want the IDE's show only the strings that i want....
For exemple:
a.------------------------
| to establish X |
| to establish Y |
Thanks!

Track public classes, interfaces and methods by ID

Hi All,
I'm wondering whether there is a tool to assign a unique ID to classes, interfaces and methods (eg. within Javadoc) and track these IDs.
The reason I'd need such a feature is that I'd like to do requirements tracking in an easy but complete way. I have a document containing functional specifications (with IDs) and on the other side there is the source code; where the javadoc of the public methods and classes is my software specification. What I now want to do is make a link between the IDs in the functional spec to the IDs in the sofware spec (ie. the source code).
Does anybody know of such a tool (commercial or not)?
Thanks,
Daniel

I'm a bit confused as to whether or not I understand you correctly. Please tell me if the following pseudocode is somewhat like the solution you are looking for:
class MethodFunctionality {
   private Class methodClass;
   private String methodSignature;
   private List methodFunctions;
    *   Returns true if the method is used for the specified
    *   requirement, false otherwise.
   public boolean fulfills(int requirementId) {
      if methodFunctions.contains(requirementId)
         return true;
      else
         return false;
   public String getMethodSignature() {
      return this.methodSingature;
   public Class getMethodClass() {
      return this.methodClass;
    *   Returns an array with IDs of each functional
    *   requirement covered by the method.
   public int[] getCoverage() {
      return this.methodFunctions;
class ClassFunctionality {
   private Map methodDetails;
   private List classFunctions;
   public MethodFunctionality getMethodDetails(String methodSignature) {
      return (MethodFunctionality) this.methodDetails.get(methodSignature);
    *   Returns true if the class is used for the specified
    *   requirement, false otherwise.
   public boolean fulfills(int requirementId) {
      if classFunctions.contains(requirementId)
         return true;
      else
         return false;
    *   Returns an array with IDs of each functional
    *   requirement covered by the class.
   public int[] getCoverage() {
      return this.classFunctions;
}Mapping classes and methods to functionality like this would both allow you to query each class and method for all the functional requirements they claim to cover and would allow you to collect all classes and methods involved for a particular functional requirement.
