Studio Creator and Swing applications

Is there any plan that Studio Creator will have ICS BX like simple swing/GUI creation features for the client/server development?
Client/server is not dead and lots of us out there are still looking for easy Java client/server develokpment tools. That will be so useful if you include those features so that like in BX or visual basic, we will be able to use Creator as a 4GL to rapidly develop client/server applications.
I have purchased Creator hoping that one day it will be the only IDE that I will use for RAD of Java applications for client/server or intranet/internet.
Currently I am using JDeveloper ADF Client for developing client/server apps.
thank you.

Thank you. I guess we need to wait until the Mako release will be available.
I do understand that most IDE developers such as Sun, Oracle, Borland, etc. are focusing on Enterprises where administration is one of the biggest issues. But for small businesses and for some security reasons, there are still lots of demand for the client/server applications. Besides, in unix/linux environment (even on Microsoft platfoms with 3rd party products) it is possible and sometimes cheaper to have a network mounted client/server application running as effectively as a web based one, with a similar or less administration workload.
When Oracle announced the end of support for Oracle Forms 6i for the client/server (by 2008), many Forms 6i users moved to MS Visual Basic, instead of moving to the Forms services (9i, 10g) which Oracle hoped for. Many found alternatives such as Oracle 's very own JDeveloper (ADF client) for their client/server applications or Open Source alternatives such as Python with PyGtk bindings, etc. What I am trying to say is that whoever says that client/server is dead and they are not programming for the client/server anymore, it is bull****.
I hope the Creator development team remembers the client/server developers and improve the Creator accordingly. Otherwise, for guys like me who is developing database applications running especially against Oracle, there is no good reason to move from JDeveloper to Creator.
You should also consider adding more Open Source database support in Creator. Postgresql support will be nice given that it is BSD licensed and you can even deliver it with Creator. Using only Creator to create rich GUI applications running against either Postgresql or Mysql will be great and may be only way to attract more developers to this IDE from JDeveloper or JBuilder or even Eclipse. Telling people, "oh this product (Creator) is for web only, if you need Swing then use Netbeans" does not make any sense if you want to sell this product to guys like me.
Thanx for reading.

IDE STUDIO CREATOR OR SWING

I am new to development and started on VB where they had a GUI that was easy for me to learn. I was worried when I switched to JAVA, although I enjoy it I was worried about the GUI, until I found Studio Creator. Can you use Studio Creator for programming where you use it with patterns and such in the development of software programs? It seems to be able to take the code (my cursory view of the manual).
I downloaded the manual and it seems just for web use, is there something similar in JAVA that I can use for software development that is as user friendly? Thank you for you help I know that this is a novice question but figured this might be the right forum.
Thank you in advance for your time and help.

It is not Studio Creator or Swing.
Studio Creator is an IDE. And IDE is a nice tool to can speed up and improve the development of code. However, if it is generating code (especially GUI code), and you don't know how to do it by hand, then I would recommend you learn Swing by hand first before you use and IDE to generate it for you. It will save you headaches in the future. Here is a good Swing tutorial:

Java Studio Creator and JDK

I'm trying to create a game application using java and i've downloaded both java studio creator and JDK. However i'm having problems of writing the program. Should i use notepad and compile it using JDK? Or can i simply use the java studio creator and type in my java codings? And i cant seem to type in any codings in the java studio creator.
Can someone help me please? Thank you.

Hello, Burpyjac!
I don't understand what you want to do exactly. If you would like to write an applet for a website maybe Java Studio Creator is not what you want, it's an IDE for developing web applications running in an application server like Glassfisch, SJSAS, Tomcat and the like.
If your game need animation, drawings in a panel and the like you would need another IDE like Netbeans for example to develop an applet. Of course you can just use Notepad, but a IDE like Netbeans is much more comfortable (syntax highlighting, project managment, debugging).
Java Studio Creator is an IDE for web applications and it is based on Netbeans (if you saw both you will notice). If your game can live without graphics maybe you can use it - but be aware that this applications do not run alone, you need an application server.

Help needed with Sun Java Studio Creator and EJB in a Portlet Project

Hi
I have created an web-application with JSF in Sun Java Studio Creator 2. The web application uses a lot of EJB's which acts as the dataProviders. In a typical jsp page i have more that one data providers(the EJB's) getting used. When i run the project everything opens up properly in the browser and the application seems to be fine.
But when i create a JSP 168 Portlet project and do exactly the same thing for some reason the Apache Pluto(comes as the default Portlet Container with Studio Creator) conks off.
Then i started going ahead step by step:
1. First i created a portletpage and added only one dataProvider(EJB) and ran the project...It gets deployed properly in Pluto and the browser comes up and everything shows up fine.
2. Just to re-confirm i did the same thing with another dataProvider(EJB). So still we have just 1 EJB in the portlet page. As expected it also worked fiine.
3. Then when I added more that one dataProviders(EJBs) in the porlet page the Apache Pluto conks off(saying that Pluto is not available)
I tried doing a lot of things but nothing works...Surprisingly the same thing works when u create a JSF web Application project but the same thing does not work when u create a JSR 168 JSF Portlet Project...
Did anybody face the same problem..Is it a bug in the Studio Creator...Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hi,
There are a few discussion threads in the feedbackprograms portal for Creator 2 EA 2. The URL is:
https://feedbackprograms.sun.com/login.html
In the EA discussion forum you will find threads which discuss the concerned topic. In specific look for threads titled:
# Deploying Portlets
# Taking a JSC Portlet to Tomcat creates a Faces Mapping Error
# Problem with Pluto when trying to deploy a portlet
# Request: JSR-168 Portlet Project without JSF
We kindly request you to post your further queries related to EA in the above mentioned forum.

Studio Creator and configurable datasources problem

At design time we've binded components to a creator-configured datasource. As a result the Studio Creators generates in a '_init' method of a session bean code like
'rowSet.setDataSourceName("java:comp/env/jdbc/mydb");'
(where 'rowSet' is a 'CachedRowSetXImpl').
So far so good.
In the next step we tried to make the datasource jndi name configurable to use this code to connect to different databases. It works fine in a web/app-server environment at run time.
But unfortunately the Studio Creator doesn't accept this code. Using something other than the shown hard-coded jndi string in a statement like the example above results in a component error...
This means that we've to use different code at design time and build/runtime? At the moment after working at the design every time we change the code (substitution using ant, e.g.: "java:comp/env/jdbc/mydb" --> getDatasourceName() ) and build the archive.
Is there is any other way to avoid this problem? We dislike such one code patching...

Studio creator and faces-config.xml

How can I configure Sun Studio Creator to use /WEB-INF/faces-config.xml for all configuration items. Currently navigation and managed beans are seperated into 2 files. I have a bunch of JSF application with using another tool that I would like to test editing using Studio Creator but the Sun Studio Creator ignores the faces-config.xml for the navigation editor and managed bean editor.

Question about JRE and Swing applications

Hi i trying to make a Swing application whit some clients but one of them tell me that he have a lot of troubles whit java, because someone make an applet for his website and when he upgrade the JRE the applet dont work anymore.
In my case i dont want any applets, i want swing, but a im not sure if
swing uses the JRE and if the application im going to make, may have troubles when they upgrade de JRE.
Tanks for de answers and sorry for my english

In general, Java maintains upward compatibility (older code runs in newer Java releases.)
Certain exceptions are made, and each major Java release identifies these. The current document can be read here:

JSF in Studio Creator and BEA Workshop Studio

Hi Guys,
I found that JSF code created when we use Studio Creator is Rave
while as if we use Bea Workshop Studio/Any Other Eclipse IDE for JSF is MyFaces ( whatever it may be).
What are the differences between these two? which one is better ?
I get confused why there are two different framework of JSF?
And I dont think there is any other IDE who supports Rave other than Java Studio Creator?
Thx.

Studio Creator and Web Service Clients

Can somebody please explain to me or point me to some actual documentation on how this junk works?
I have a web service client that was generated from a wsdl file being used by my studio creator project... the web service has changed and now i need to update/replace the client with a new one. It seems like no matter what I do it wants to tag a '3' onto the end of the name of the web service port and also build it into the package names - requirign me to go to all the places in my code that use this client and fix it to have a stupid 3 in it....
Just replacing web service clients appears to be a huge ordeal involving removing the client libraries from the library folder, and even going into the build-impl.xml to remove references to the old client jars...
I can't find any options to specify the web service client jar which would allow me to just overwrite the old ones instead of creating these new ones with archaic numbers (e.g. 1384793814) on the end of them...
Is there an easy way to wipe clean or update a web service from an entire project without leaving these ridiculous references everywhere? When I try to replace the name personService3 with personService in the web service client generator tool it tells me the name is already in use but I can't for the life of me find it...
can somebody shed some light on this for me? please help before i yank all my hair out...
Thanks....

Please see the article I wrote called, "Web Service Consumption Security" at http://devservices.sun.com/premium/jscreator/standard/reference/tips/ws_consumption_security.html
This will give you an idea of what is supported for the current version of Creator. Also, if you want some other feature supported, please submit a detailed use case to this forum.

Apologies for the late reply, but currently what exists generally for MyFaces integration with Creator is on this blog:

You might also want to post the same question on the nbusers alias on netbeans.org, referencing Visual Web Pack

Studio Creator and Oracle ADF faces

Hi,
I was searching through the entire forums to find out how to integrate ADF or any other 3rd pary component with the creator but couldn't find a easy way of doing it. This topic has started somewhere in 2004 but nobody seems to have found a solution to do it in easy way.
Anybody is having any idea ?
Cheers,
Kara

Yes, I agree.
I think a thorough and in-depth tutorial on creating, packaging, and importing components into JSC would be very helpful to this extent.
I have found the java.net , sourceforge & other java support sites to be invaluable in my learning curve and tinkering with JSC and java. Further enablement of this (via a tutorial) is important as well as essential.
Delphi has been my tool of choice when developing Windows applications, and I have found the community contributions to be invaluable. I have developed components for Delphi - I looked into developing some JSF components, but find that at my present level of (non) expertise, the information on developing JSF components for JSC is there, but the time is not. And while all the information is there on how to develop JSF components, and an excellent tool to do it (Netbeans), the information is too scattered, except for those who I would consider at the guru level of expertise.

Studio Creator And CSV Files

Does SSC support csv files as a datasource. I've been trying to use a couple of jdbc-cvs drivers with SSC I cannot appear to get them to work (J-Stels and HXTT drivers). Any help much appreciated.

Hi,
Please take a look at the below thread:
http://swforum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?forumID=123&threadID=47345
This thread discusses about accessing CSV files which might be of help to you.
Thanks

Does Studio Creator support Oracle ADF Faces and other components?

Hi everyone
According to:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/htdocs/partners/addins/exchange/jsf/doc/faq.html
"Although ADF Faces is "vanilla" JSF we have not been able to run with Java Studio Creator Build 04.06.2. We are working with Sun to resolve the issues in Java Studio Creator."
Does anyone know if Oracle ADF faces now work with Studio Creator and if so which version.
In addition I am also looking for JSF visualization components. In addition to advanced 3-D graphs (send as PNG to client) I am also looking for components to visualize the structure of a website. These all need to work with Studio Creator.

Importing 3rd party libraries used to be complicated. The .complib stuff was added precisely to make it easy.
It does make packaging slightly harder for third party -vendors-, since there's one extra step, but this makes everything easier for (the much larger number of) users of the third party components, since the packaging format specifies a bunch of stuff that we used to have to ask of users when trying to add the jar and associated metadata into the IDE.
The complib stuff is documented, so if you're producing a 3rd party JSF library, or if you really want to use one that hasn't yet been packaged, you can do the steps yourself.
See http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/People/EdwinGoei -- the first couple of links describes the process. Yes, we're working with third party vendors to get this done for their component sets, and yes, there's talk with other IDE vendors to standardize all this.

Working with CVS and Java Studio Creator 2

Hello,
I'm a new user of java studio creator and I would like to make a project using ths CVS.
First, I've installed a CVS server on a computer.
Then I've created a new project (an example included with JSC)
Then I've customized the version manager in JSC 2 to connect to the remote CVS server.
No problem, if I try to connect to CVS in the version manager, it work ("You are connected").
On the other hand, when I want to check out my project on the CVS (the first check out), I've got this error :
cvs server: connect to 82.252.252.173(82.252.252.173):2402 failed: Une tentative de connexion a �chou� car le parti connect� n'a pas r�pondu convenablement au-del� d'une certaine dur�e ou une connexion �tablie a �chou� car l'h�te de connexion n'a pas r�pondu.
cvs [server aborted]: Couldn't connect to lock server
Have you got an idea on the configuration error I've done (no solution found in the articles nor faq)?
Thanks in advance
Nicolas

Hello,
You can see checked out files when you use the Versioning Manager. Just expand the tree to see individual files and folders. It's always a good idea to do an update before you start editing a file in Studio Creator. The Merge Conflict Resolver is a a very useful tool when more than one developer is working on a file.
You can find a lot more about version control in the IDE's help files.
And by the way, your English is fine.
