Java Coding

hi Guys
i wrote a bean for the database connection. In my bean i use the class[b]
Product for creating the instance .Code goes like this ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery(sql);
while (rs.next())
Product product = new Product();
product.id = rs.getInt(1);
product.name = rs.getString(2);
product.description = rs.getString(3);
product.price = rs.getDouble(4);
products.add(product);
rs.close();
s.close();
connection.close();
In Product class i declare the variables for the database. Product class goes like this
package MyBean;
public class Product {
public int id;
public String name;
public String description;
public double price;
When i am trying to compile the bean class it showing error
cannot find symbol
class: product
location:MyBean.dbBean(MyBean is package name anddbBean is bean class)
Can any one Help me
Thanks in advance

1. don't use packages until you're confident with the -classpath
see: The K-Zone: Mastering the Java CLASSPATH
2. post your whole class (including imports) between  tagsrefer to Formatting tips
3. post the whole error message as well... it would have told you which freakin symbol it can't find.
... it's probably just a typo... remember product() and Product are different things.

    how can I create a New folder in Window Registry using Java coding. Can anybody help me out pls.
    I begin waiting for ur reply.
    Thanx

    Why do you feel you need to write to the Windows registry directly? Take a look at the Preferences class.

  • Mapping using Java Coding

    I've got a big trouble. First, I'm trying to do mapping using Java Coding based on the TopLink Developer's Guide.
    I'm using a Employee's Table as usual, but here is the problem, I can not do inserting on the database after I do mapping. As a note, there is no error compile and also I can do the session login already.

    uow.release();
    For everybody who already knows the solution, please reply as soon as possible. Because I really need this solution to finish my last final project.
    Thanks

    When you create a new instance you must register it with the UnitOfWork in order to have the new entity persisted.
    Employee theEmp = new Employee();
    UnitOfWork uow = session.acquireUnitOfWork();
    theEmp.setFnama("A");
    theEmp.setLnama("B");
    uow.registerObject(theEmp);
    uow.commit();

  • Java coding in CAF

    hi  experts,
    i went through lot of blogs and docs on SDN regarding how to compose services and consume services, export RFC etc.,. In some of the scenarios we needed to write some code in java. I am pretty much new to java even though i know basic java. what is the best way to learn what kind of java code i need to write when i create some CAF. is there any how-to-doc explaining most used java code in CAFs?
    thanks
    sankar

    Hi Sankar!
    I am not sure, what you are searching for. However, I will try to explain the CAF a little bit.
    Basically, a composite application consists of business objects and (entity and application) services.
    A business object represents a logical data structure your application is aiming at (e.g., customer, sales order). For each business object you get an entity service which operationes represent the fundamental database operations such as create, read, update, delete, and a number of find operations.
    On top of the entity services of your composite application you can model and implement application services. The operations of the application services represent the business logic of your application. These operations are where your Java coding comes into play.
    Finally, you can expose some of your application services as web services which can then be externally invoked.
    Best regards
    Alexander

  • What's up with the Sun Java coding convention

    I thought Sun leading the Java development should also be a better example on the Java coding convention.
    They do publish a coding convention guide, I believe. But looking at Java core library's source code, so long, coding convention! :(
    Just looked at ArrayList.java source for the version 1.4.2. There are method names like RangeCheck(). Shouldn't a method start with lowercase? Shouldn't a method be verb first like checkRange() instead?
    And there are statements like this all over the place:
    if (foo)
    bar();
    shouldn't that be:
    if (foo) {
    bar();
    man, I thought this golden version of the Java Foundation Library code should be almost perfect by this time now. :(
    --

    if (foo)
    bar();
    // I think the most important part of the if statement
    is the condition for executing the following
    statement(s).
    // Using this style the condition is separated from
    the code by white space which I find easier to read
    // It's also easier to maintain as you don't have to
    remember to add {} if you need to add additional
    statements.I follow camickr's example. I think it's more readable. Whitespace is a good thing, IMO, and not used enough. Putting the brace on the next line down not only makes it easier to associate opening and closing braces visually but it sets the block of code off visually from the rest. Personally, I get a gestalt effect from that.
    I don't worry about a byte here or there. It might sound like heresy, but Moore's Law makes memory and disk space cheaper and more plentiful all the time. I think maintainability and readability trumps being miserly about bytes in my thinking these days. ;)
    Spare me the "inefficiency" lectures. I know - performance matters. The 80/20 rule says that byte won't be killer.
    It's too bad that Sun doesn't follow their own conventions. Don't they do code review there?
    Joshua Bloch didn't follow the standard? Too bad - he did a great job on the collections design. Maybe he delegated it to a younger coder and missed that during the code review. Yeah, that's it! ;)

  • How to find RFC names in e-commerce application JSPs or in Java coding.

    Hi Experts.
    Please explain me ,how to find RFC names which were used in e-commerce b2b/b2c applications in Java coding using SAP NWDS IDE.
    Thanks in Advance!!!!
    Regards,
    Kiran

    There are two ways to do this.
    I. Create your own Session Log file
    1. Go to http://url:port/b2b/admin/index.jsp
    2. Login with Admin user id and password.
    3. Click on 'Logging' from the left hand navigation
    4. Click on 'Session Logging' tab
    Here you can start your e-commerce application using a URL and 'Start' session logging when you need it. When you 'Stop' the session logging, you will see a log file for download.
    II. View ISA Log files in the system
    The path varies based on how the log config was done. But usually, if you look in this folder structure on the Java Stack, you will see log files.

  • Java Coding Conventions -  Debugging

    I am developing a Coding Convention document for a group of folks that are doing some remote development for me and while I have reviewed the Java coding conventions provided by Sun, I haven't seen anything that talks specifically about debugging. I have been asked to include some recommendation concerning where (and when) to put debuggin messages within the code (i.e. when you enter a method, etc.) Are there any conventions around this? I have my own practices but I am looking to find a commonly used industry approach. Thanks

    By debugging messages you mean comments? This is all I found in the doc:
    "Use XXX in a comment to flag something that is bogus but works. Use FIXME to flag something that is bogus and broken."
    I doubt that helps :P As far as an industry standard, not much out there that I could find.

  • Displaying Arabic URL in a JAVA CODED WEB BROWSER

    Hello everyone,
    Please if there is anyone who can help me with Java Code....I have a java coded web browser, but i would like to enable Arabic .... currently, when arabic is typed into the URL bar, it appears at 'square boxes'...i would like example code on how to remedy that problem, so that when a user enters a url in arabic it displays the correct characters...Also, is there a simple code to check the 'hostname' (basically the name entered in the URL bar) whether or not it is in Arabic or not....
    Mucho Gracias in advance, any help would be More than appreciated...
    thanks ....
    email:[email protected]

    I thought it is possible to treat it like JTextArea where a user
    can type in unicode characters....however on IE you can type in arabic (after the keyboard shift CTRL or ALT shift)in the URL bar...however in my little browser you cannot do that....is there anyway to enable that to happen...
    once again thanks in advance....
    oh and for the string check, is there something like :
    host.equalsIgnoreCase('to any unicode characters');
    i tried it using \u06xx but to no avail....
    please any help!! id appreciate it....

  • Where could I find java coding specification

    Where could I find java coding specification.
    I don't know what it really names for, I think it gives a principle for how to coding java program.
    For example, it will tell us which one is better between "final static" and "static final"

    For example, it will tell us which one is better
    between "final static" and "static final"neither of these, it's
    static public final
    Rules:
    first static as theses are class
    variables/methods that don't need instantiation. Then
    the non-static fields/methods. Therefore, "static"
    should be the first keyword for clean grouping.
    Then the visibility like public, protected,
    private (in this order) should be used. (see
    [url=http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/html/CodeConven
    tions.doc2.html#1852]Instance variables).Afterwards use final which should be the last
    keyword before the variable type / method return type
    / method parameter type, e.g.
    static public final doThis(final String key) {
    }If these are the "rules", then why is the convention for the main function
    public static void main(String[] args)?

  • Help with java coding involving stacks and queues.

    I was wondering if anyone can help with tips on what to fill in for the coding.
    My project is to creating a word processor by the process of 2 stacks. The methods are given, but I'm not really sure what goes in them. So I was wonder if anyone can answer this for me, or give tips that would be great thanks.
    Example Code, similar to what were suppose to do, but instead it's CHARACTER stacks rather than String.
    [http://www.cs.jhu.edu/~jason/226/hw3/source/EditableString.java]

  • Simple Java Coding Question

    I know this is a simple question, but I can't search for the answer to this because it involves syntax that Google and the like don't seem to search for..
    I am trying to figure out some Java code that I have found. I would like to know what:
    a[--i] and a[++j] mean.
    My first thought was that they meant to look at the position in the array one less (or more) than i (j). But that doesn't seem to be the case. A is an array of Strings, if that matters...
    Thanks for you help.

    I am trying to figure out some Java code that I have found. I would like to know what:
    a[--i] and a[++j] mean.
    It mean increase/decrease the int i/j by 1. This is done before it gets you the value of a[]. for example if i=5 and you said a[--i] it is really a[4] and i is now equal to 4;

  • ART + TECH - ART VS. TECH (+ the relationship to java, coding, + vision)

    Not that this is a new struggle, here's my perspective anyway.
    I have posted this discussion as it's own topic because I thought it deserved it's own heading and title. The original was written in a response in my heart and mind to the current state of geekdom.com.
    I am not a tech by birth. I am becoming a tech out of necessity. I cannot afford 3000 programs to develop what I see. I also cannot stand to let what I see coming go undone by myself. I just reliquished a partnership with a tech friend who was working with me on my new company. He had no time to even answer emails. I am now out here in codeworld trying to create everything from scratch.
    As a visual artist, "codeworld" is not very familiar, and most of the characters inhabiting this world hate the visual world, and "see" it as unimportant. (Thoughts and interior worlds being much more valuable and relevant).
    I know that there are 2,000 languages and options to accomplish this task (see earlier posts---java Html proccessor/templator templater???). Some are pricey, some are labor intensive, some like Java seem to be so complicated that I cannot begin to think of doing this all on my own. I wanted to accomplish this originally by February, and with all the components that I need to get working, I am afraid it could be Feb. of 2005, by the time I get my vision into the real world. (of course by then, what I see will be outdated and obsolete)
    Yes, the problem here is money and time....Ha ha....like none of us have not heard that one before. I was told elsewhere today that Macromedia has all the tools I need in a package, and so I looked up the cost. I aint there yet!!!! (is it really that good---macromedia-generator????--------comments please from anyone)
    The HTML generator---templator is just one of the pieces of a large pie that I see, as a desktop/ work system. I know that Java can do it. I have seen the incredible visual tools that it can generate. I am frustrated however in that to make visual tools-----I have to deal with a totally left brained -----code based (scientific)-system----that is anti creative---anti----free radical!!!!
    I see a delivered final system for the regular JOE BLOW, that will let him deal with "pretty pictures" as a user interface. The systems I "SEE" will allow CAVE MEN to get what they want. No creature should have to go to school to use a damn program============ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    After all these years of development, can't we be a little further along in delivering to the "public" a truly user friendly system?????
    In the next decade programmers and geeks will become extinct, because they insisted on their 15 milliseconds of fame and fortune. The artist, and intellectuals are coming, and will take over. All we need, all that the public needs, is a "SYSTEM" that makes sense-----real world sense--------not code sense.
    If you think I am angry.................well yes I AM....I am tired of techs that cannot take 1 minute to answer email.
    Yes, I am your free radical, Yes I am "not of your world" (techworld that is)
    Yes, you are all too busy.
    Yes, you all are in high demand at your 35.00 to 125.00 an hour rates.
    Enjoy it while you can,,,,,,,,,,,,,,it aint gonna last, your market is eroding as we talk mention it.
    Smart guys don't just grow up here out of American soil, they grow up in India, in Rumania, in the Phillipines, anywhere.............
    Because of the wonderful invention that only you were smart enough to make======the internet,,,,,,,,,,,,,you are now screwed....................
    Your tech buddie in Korea only needs 12.00 per hour instead of your 125.00 per hour..............
    I would not care about any of this if I did not see a product that needs to get to market. I forsee a product invented (with whatever tech/code/language) that will make AOL look scientific and complicated.
    I am waiting for someone who can stand code, but who can dream, and think --------------WAY BEYOND code. Yes, money is an issue, but if the product can get to market--------------------neither one of us will ever have to worry again.
    PS...........you may think I am crazy, I do not care. You know that 60 foot TV screen in NYC on the front of the NASDAC---CNB=== NBC building, I saw that.
    I saw that in 1979. (only the technological application of it that I saw, cannot be built yet, it will take 10 years of holographic tech to actualize that "vision").
    Has anyone ever "seen" what the desktop will look like in the year 2008?
    I have.
    Join me.
    PSS. I am not lazy. I do however want to continue on with my visual computer dreams.............I know there is a lot more. I need some techs to help make these dreams come true. YES, I have now contradicted myself. I am famous for that. I DO NOT HATE TECHS. I am just tired of tech excuses, and tech attitudes.
    If all of you have no time, well then fine. I will DO IT MYSELF.

    Starbase,
    You've commented on how unfriendly user interfaces are, and on how the techies don't seem to pay any attention to artistst and intellectuals.
    On the first point, I think if you look objectively at what someone who doesn't know anything about computers can do now, vs. what an "expert" could do 20 years ago, you have to admit that the advances are astounding.
    My wife, my mother, my brother, all non-techies can compose nice looking documents, send email, search the web for any information they want, without having to know a whole lot of bizarre arcane tech-talk.
    Granted, there is a lot of software that has a poor UI, but things are improving, and the harder to use stuff generally (not always) gets pushed out by its frienlier cousins.
    Also, you have to realize that while doing certain tasks can be made easy (click here to get email, click there to send new email, etc.), to perform more complex, powerful, flexible operations, you will absolutely have to understand something about the technology you're using.
    Anybody can be taught the sequence of keys to press on a piano to create the melody of "Twinkle, Twinkle." However, if you don't understand something about how notes fit together to make chords, how notes, chords rhythm, etc. make a song, how the keys, hammers, dampers, strings, and pedals in a piano combine to produce sounds, then you're not going to be able to use a piano to its fullest capacity. Does that mean that a piano has a poor user interface?
    Anybody can dip a brush into a blob of paint and draw a smiley face, but an understanding of how colors combine, of water vs. oil, of different textures of brush and canvas, etc., etc....
    And finally, on this point, let me add that you need to be a little more patient. There are a lot of things that have to come together to produce a revolutionary user interface, or even one with significant incremental improvements.
    First, hardware has to be fast enough, cheap enough and ubiquitous enough. Take the 5 software packages that you think have the best interfaces and try to run them on, say, a 386. Not pretty I imagine. The 386 is how old? 5 years? 8 years? Ancient history in the computer world, but not that long for real technical revolutions.
    The simple fact is that slicker, cleaner, more powerful, yet friendlier UIs require a lot more horsepower (including CPU, memory, video, etc.) to run than a simple text driven menu system. A box with dual 1Ghz P4s and 1GB of memory and a top of the line video card could handle a more robust UI than what's on the average user's desktop today, but who's going to invest the time and money in building that UI when only a handful of people have the hardware necessary to run it.
    And hardware is just one piece of the puzzle. Again, given what is asked of a UI--that it's job is to present a front end as close to human nature as possible and convert that to something the underlying hardware can use--the simpler you want it to be for you, the more complex and sophisticated it's got to be behind the scenes. That kind of complex and sophisticated software is difficult at best and impossible at worst without certain software development techniques, tools, and practices. Those are also coming into their own along with the rest of the tehcnical evolution (no "r").
    And what about standards and convention? If software A is easy to use, and software B is easy to use, but they operate in completely different, proprietary ways, even for tasks that the two have in common, that's not going to seem all that easy to the artist who tries to use both. Getting all parties involved to agree on a common way of doing things is not a trivial task, especially now that there's an established way that works and that a lot of people are at least moderately comfortable with.
    Okay, I've rambled enough about that. I'll just ramble a little bit more about the second point--us techies not soliciting the opinions of the artists--and then I'll shutup.
    Are you aware that many (most?) companies that produce software do have artistic folks on staff whose job is make sure the interfaces make sense? I think Apple Computer has had a significant staff in that area since the introduction of the Macintosh. My own company has a creative department who is responsible for the overall look and feel and flow of our software. And in fact, at every job I've had, among the programmers I've worked with, there's always been at least one or two folks who had an artisitic or intellectual bent as well. Believe me, there are a lot of people involved in the production of software who are not just bit-shuffling coders.
    Finally, no matter how pretty the front end is, it's behavior needs to be precisely defined. That is, an almost mathematical description of "state x, input y leads to state w, behavior z, output q". It's my humble and unscientific opinion that a lot gets lost in the translation from the artist's vision to the bit-shuffler's spec. The spec is absolutely necessary--without it you'll get software that' wrong and/or unpredictable. However, the non-bit-shufflers of the world often don't want to be involved in the precise statment of behavior, and the bit shufflers don't have the patience or ability to extract and understand the precise spec from the artist's pretty pictures. I honestly think that the difficulty in communicating from vision to hard dry spec is a huge blockade on the path to getting software that does what somebody wanted in the way they wanted it done.
    I do agree with your basic premise that it would be a good thing if computers in general were simpler and more intuitive to use. However, I don't agree with your evaluation of how bleak things are right now, how little progress is being made, or how little input the artist/intellectual/"common man" has in the process right now.
    Whew. I'm bushed. Online or not, discussions like this should not take place without a good beer/wine/scotch/martini on hand. :-)

  • Methods to do increasing in java coding

    may i know how to do a selective code to do increasing in java code?
    like :
    i got numbers 20, 30, 20 ,20
    IT IS BEFORE I ENTERED ANY NUMBERS IN !!
    uniqueNumber 0
    numberOfuniqueNumbers 0
    occurrences 0
    IF i enter 20 into the system
    THEN
    uniqueNumber will become 1
    numberOfuniqueNumbers will become 1
    occurences will become 1
    when i enter 20 again
    uniqueNumber will become 1
    numberOfuniqueNumbers will become 1
    BUT
    occurrences will become 2
    and i dont know how to use if/else method to do the increment of occurences.
    is it like this?
    IF uniqueNumber ++
    occurences +1
    or is there any way out for it?

    ok, let's pretend that a user can only enter numbers from 1 to 5. And he's decided to input 5 numbers. We declare an integer input array of size 5 and an integer counter array of size 6.
    Input array = [1,3,4,1,3]
    Counter array = [0,0,0,0,0,0]
    uniqueNumbers = 0
    Loop through input array:
         1st input array value = 1
         set counter[1]++     
         now counter array = [0,1,0,0,0,0]
         2nd input array value = 3
         set counter[3]++
