Swing Perfornace tips?

Hi,
I came across 2 suggestions during the code review for my project.
#1 For tables, set the row height.
#2 In case of large models, set large model attribute.
I firstly want to know the origin of these comments. Is there any reference where I can get all such suggestions. Secondly, I can follow the first suggestion, but have no clue about the second one. Where is this attribute present?
Thanks,
Nikhil

Where is this attribute present?Hint: search the index for setLargeModel.

Providing multi-language capability

Hi everyone!
I am to develop a prototype that aims to store, display and sort data in multi-language. I've read a couple of documentations but I would appreciate it if you could suggest some other good articles hiding out there.
Aside from the concepts discussed in Java Internationalization, are there any other alternative ways in providing multi-language capabilities to an application?
Thanks in advance!

I am using MSArial Unicode font for displaying unicode strings in msaccess 2000.Using chineese strings stored in properties file i am able to display the chinese language strings in swing tool tips, but data fetching from database and displaying in JList is giving the ????? problem. JDBC is screwing up the data stream, as the same using VB ADO/DAO connectivity works.
Do you have any idea of what alternative drivers for JDBC can I use?

JTable ToolTip with MouseCursor

Hi,
i use a JTable to display some data (strings). But some of the strings i want to display are to long for the fields in the JTable. So parts of my string arent displayed.
When the user moves the mouse-cursor over the field i want do display the complete string in the field via ToolTip.
My Problem is that i dont know the event and that i dont know how to find out on which field the mouse-cursor is.

Swing tips - a more creative GUI

Hi everyone
I would like to have a more creative GUI using Swing. This article (http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/swing2d/) give me usefull hints about transparency and gradient colors which made my application look very nice. But I want more tips. Does anybody here has any document, article, or whatever resource which can help me to create a pretty GUI?
Any comments are welcome
Thank you very much
Regards
Cleverson

I have a few creative things I don't know if you've tried
- One is JButton which places it Icon (Image) above its text. Ordinary JButtons can't do that. The tips you got from the article you posted should help you achieve this.
- Rounded JPanels (similar to the rounded textfields in the article)
- Animated Splash Screens. (Fly about on screen or shrink to invisible)
- And my favourite a popup menu which acts as color chooser.
These may not the very creative to some but it just shows the flexibity of Java.
I don't if you'll get even more creative ideas from this forum but I encourage you think hard and come out with some very creative Components that will change the face of Java for the future. I know I'll try. All the best.

Third party Swing components and ADF need tips

Need some tips how to
1 - create databindings for them
2 - automatically bind component when drag&drop from component palette
Message was edited by:

Matal,
we don't yet have documentation for creating custom Swing bindings to ADF. Automating the binding with drag and drop would be the logical follow up. Note that if your custom component shares the same model with another existing components, you can first drag and drop the existing component to then change it to an instance of your custom component.

Swing Applet - Internet Explorer - Focus issue - tool tips

Hi ,
We are using Swing applet in IE Browser , except this swing component rest of the components in the browser are HTML/DHTML components.
and we are having issue focus issue with this swing components ,
once immediately after launching the swing applet , the UI components are having some focus issue , if I bring the mouse on top of the swing UI components , we couldn't able to see the tooltips(flyover text) of those Swing UI components.
However if we click some where on the Swing applet frame , we are able to see these tooltips(flyover text) .
It looks like a kind of compatibility issue between swing and IE browser .
I am trying to find a solution for this issue , so that once after launching the applet , tooltips will work without need to click on the applet bar.
Can somebody share some thoughts on this issue??
Thanks,
Bonthu.

As a wild guess you are mixing Swing and awt components which is a big no-no and among other things can cause repainting, refreshing issues.
If you want more help then that you need to post some code that shows us what you are doing.

JSlider + Display value in a text tool tip box

Hello,
I am new to Java. I want to display the value in a text tool tip box of the JSlider as the user moves the knob . Is there any way to achieve this.
I tried setting up the value of text tool tip in the stateChanged method. But that didn't helped
Ritesh

Finally Got it working. Below I am attaching the code for reference
Thanks for your code. It came very handy
The only problem is that toolTextTip is appearing on one side rather than below the cursor.

[The Really Big Index|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/reallybigindex.html]
Here are a few tips:
1 - Do not mix AWT and SWING: it'll just cause you headaches in the long run that you cannot fix without refactoring to properly not mix the 2 together.
2 - You use JDBC to access the database
3 - You make accessors/constructors to pass parameters that you need from one form to another.
Have fun.

Looking for suggestions to create a graphical user interface. Swing?

Hi there,
I am considering developing this as a side-project, therefore wish to know how much work will be involved (ie. if I have time to complete it).
The situation. I have an online game that I play. It allows access to data using text files,that are updated on an hourly basis. These text files are generally a number of MB in size (containing details for players: Id, name, tribe, score, and other ranking-related data). I wish to access these text files, then - using the data contained within them - create a graphical map-like interface.
Features of the map:
- scrolling (or changing view in some other way)
- tool-tips when highlighting over certain elements?
- contains graphics, located on a web server (or I can easily download these to use locally)
Questions:
(1) Am I able to run background processes in some way, on a Windows machine, to automatically update the data?
(2) Would it be best to save objects to a file - then load them when the program is run, or actually save the data to a local database? What DBMS do you recommend, and what classes should I look at to find out more about interacting with databases?
(3) I have not written a graphical-based application before using Java. I have heard a little about Swing. Is this the only GUI designer I should look in to, or are there others? Please give me names, I can start researching from there. The GUI would need to support something similar to the map I described above.
If you require more information, let me know. As far as I know I am not allowed to post the link to the game here, however if you need to have a look at it to understand the problem I will do so.

shano

When you say "map" do you mean a map in the "traditional" sense - with cities and land and such?

- contains graphics, located on a web server (or I can easily download these to use locally)
Questions:
(1) Am I able to run background processes in some way, on a Windows machine, to automatically update the data?Java or your OS provides this, yes.
(2) Would it be best to save objects to a file - then load them when the program is run, or actually save the data to a local database? What DBMS do you recommend, and what classes should I look at to find out more about interacting with databases?It depends - are you just loading these objects into main memory when you fire up your program? If so, serializing them out to a file is find. If you're going to be doing queries and updates while your program is running then using a DB would likely be a Good Thing. Check out [hypersonic |http://hsqldb.org/] and the [JDBC tutorial|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jdbc/]
(3) I have not written a graphical-based application before using Java. I have heard a little about Swing. Is this the only GUI designer I should look in to, or are there others? Please give me names, I can start researching from there. The GUI would need to support something similar to the map I described above.Swing is a set of GUI components, not a GUI designer. There are others (SWT comes to mind). Google can likely help you out more than I can. I suspect most GUI widget sets will supply a "blank" component that you can paint your map on.

Tips & Tricks for daily forum reading?

At one point in time I used to visit the Arch forums quite actively in my efforts to contribute back to the community. More recently, I've stopped reading the forums but I now wish to get back into the "swing of things" and read/write the forums daily. I'm curious as to any tips or tricks the forum "regulars" know about to better tackle daily forum viewing.
The 2 helpful things I know about are..
Show new posts since last visit
and the lesser known about...
Arch Forum RSS Feed
How do you guys and gals participate in the forums so much and still have time to be a dev, work, eat, sleep.. rofl you get the picture! Tell us your secret strategy!

I recommend the Vimperator Firefox extension. Once you couple that with the It'sAllText extension you can zip through the forums very easily.
Why do you need It'sAllText? Simply hit ctrl + I
But you can only change tabs while gvim is open with the most recent version of vimperator.
@topic
open every sub-forum in a new tab
open every interesting topic in a new tab
--> work through all the tabs (usually just closing them without reading anything )

You should update your DOM document to represent the changes that you want made.
Then, using the Transformation API you simply transform your document onto a stream representing your file. Something like this:
Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
// TODO - set indentation amount!
Source source = new DOMSource(dom);
Result result = new StreamResult(file);
transformer.transform(source, result);Hope this helps.

ADF/Swing/JClient application migration problem from 10.1.3.5 to 11.1.1.3

Hi,
I am migrating an application from JDev 10.1.3.5 to 11.1.1.3 in order to deploy it to a java 1.6 JVM which is only certified with JDev 11.1.1.3
No matter what I do the DataBindings.cpx file content is emptied by the IDE, the migration was successful => no errors displayed.
I tried to solve the problem by doing the following but the file stays empty:
1) the removing the project from the application and adding it again, migration is done again => FILE EMPTY
2) adding manually the content in the source file then running XML validation => no errors, I close the file, reopen it and EMPTY AGAIN!
Your is needed and will be appreciated!
Thanks
Fred

Ok it seems I have resolved my problem see end of thread
Still have following relevant question for an Oracle team member:
Why is my <pageMap/> empty in my migrated application cpx file?
=> when I create a new ADF Swing application this tag is not empty:
in new file:
<pageMap>
<page path="view.PanelPhotolabVO1" usageId="view_PanelPhotolabVO1PageDef"/>
</pageMap>
<pageDefinitionUsages>
<page id="view_PanelPhotolabVO1PageDef"
path="view.pageDefs.PanelPhotolabVO1PageDef"/>
in migrated file:
<pageMap/>
<pageDefinitionUsages>
<page id="PanelWeventEditParamVO1UIModel"
path="com.photoswing.view.web.PanelWeventEditParamVO1UIModel"/>
Solution to empty migrated cpx file:
It seems the migration utility couldn't cope with the BC4JDataControl definitions, so I edited them manually.
Example of 10.1.3... syntax:
<dataControlUsages>
<BC4JDataControl Configuration="BaseTablesAMLocal"
Package="com.xxx.model.system"
xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adfm/datacontrol"
id="BaseTablesAMDataControl"
FactoryClass="oracle.adf.model.bc4j.DataControlFactoryImpl"
syncMode="Immediate">
<Parameters>
<Parameter name="FactoryClass"
value="oracle.adf.model.bc4j.DataControlFactoryImpl"/>
<Parameter name="SupportsFindMode" value="true"/>
<Parameter name="Configuration" value="BaseTablesAMLocal"/>
<Parameter name="SupportsTransactions" value="true"/>
<Parameter name="Package" value="com.photoswing.model.system"/>
<Parameter name="SubType" value="DCBC4J"/>
<Parameter name="Name" value="BaseTablesAMDataControl"/>
<Parameter name="id" value="BaseTablesAMDataControl"/>
</Parameters>
</BC4JDataControl>
New syntax:
<BC4JDataControl id="BaseTablesAMDataControl"
Package="com.xxx.model.system"
FactoryClass="oracle.adf.model.bc4j.DataControlFactoryImpl"
SupportsTransactions="true" SupportsFindMode="true"
SupportsRangesize="true" SupportsResetState="true"
SupportsSortCollection="true"
Configuration="BaseTablesAMLocal" syncMode="Immediate"
ExceptionMode="Immediate"
xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adfm/datacontrol"/>
Tip:
Do this editing outside JDev with ide closed to avoid crashing it.

try this for east/west, similar for north/south
(hopefully there's an easier way)
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
class Testing extends JFrame
public Testing()
    setLocation(300,200);
    setSize(150,100);
    setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    JTabbedPane tp = new JTabbedPane();
    tp.setTabLayoutPolicy(JTabbedPane.SCROLL_TAB_LAYOUT);
    tp.setUI(new MyUI());
    for(int x = 0; x < 12; x++)
      JPanel p = new JPanel();
      p.add(new JLabel(""+x));
      tp.addTab(""+(char)(x+65),p);
    getContentPane().add(tp);
class MyUI extends javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalTabbedPaneUI
    protected JButton createScrollButton(int direction)
      if (direction != SOUTH && direction != NORTH && direction != EAST && direction != WEST)
          throw new IllegalArgumentException("Direction must be one of: SOUTH, NORTH, EAST or WEST");
      return new ScrollableTabButton(direction);
    private class ScrollableTabButton extends javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicArrowButton implements javax.swing.plaf.UIResource,SwingConstants
      public ScrollableTabButton(int direction)
        super(direction, UIManager.getColor("TabbedPane.selected"),
                         UIManager.getColor("TabbedPane.shadow"),
                         UIManager.getColor("TabbedPane.darkShadow"),
                         UIManager.getColor("TabbedPane.highlight"));
        if(direction == WEST) setToolTipText("<<<<<");
        else if(direction == EAST) setToolTipText(">>>>>");
public static void main(String[] args){new Testing().setVisible(true);}
}

Swing disabled components look and feel problem.

Hi All,
I have a Swing application. My system is recently upgraded to JRE 1.6 and I'm facing problem with look and feel of swing components when they are disabled. Color of disabled components is very faint and its being difficult to read the text in such disabled components. In JRE 1.4 this problem was not there. Please let me know what I can do to get the look and feel(Color and Font) of disabled components, same as JRE 1.4.
Thanks

..Color of disabled components is very faint and its being difficult to read the text in such disabled components. Why is it so gosh-darned important to read the text on a control that is (supposedly) not relevant or not available?
..In JRE 1.4 this problem was not there. Please let me know what I can do to get the look and feel(Color and Font) of disabled components, same as JRE 1.4. Here are some suggestions, some of them are actually serious. I'll leave it as an exercise for you, to figure out which ones.
- Run the app. in 1.4.
- Use a custom PLAF that offers a 'less faint' rendering of disabled components.
- Use Motif PLAF (I haven't checked, but I bet that has not changed since 1.4).
- Put the important text in a tool-tip.

Tool tip in EO/VO does not work in ADF Faces ?

Hi,
I set tool tip in Control hints of Entity Object / View Object. But when I use the VO in ADF faces page, the tool tip text does not displays.
(It does work when using ADF BC Tester)
Is it only for swing application ?
Thanks,
xtanto

I've raised a bug on this bug:563929
I'd expect the ADF Faces components to reflect the Tooltip attibute that you set in ADF BC. I also raised the point that everywhere else we talk about "tooltip" except in JSF when we refer to "shortDesc" (and the attribute "Tip" is something else as well!),
No wonder we missed this ;o)
Thanks
Grant
