A very simple question, please help.

How would I output/print out a string in color rather then the standard black?
If anyone can help me or point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
For example for extra clarification, if I want to print out a string "Hello World", how can I print it out in different colors such as in blue or red.
Output to a JApplet ( TextArea)
Thanks!

You can change the colour of all the text in a JTextArea by setting its foreground property:
yourComponent.setForeground.setColor(Color.RED);If you just want have multiple colors in one JTextArea, that's not possible. You will have to use a more advanced component, like JEditorPane or JTextPane:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/editorpane.html
In basic cases, if the text doesn't have to be editable by the user, you can use a JLabel and pass it simple html:
String text = "<html>red text " +
"green text " +
"blue text</html>";
yourLabel.setText(text);

Help with Forte: very simple question, please help!

I recently downloaded the community version of Forte (Sun One) but can't seem to get any new empty class programs to execute properly. I know something is probably not set up right, which is why I really need a little help to get started. Regardless of the code I try to execute, the output error is always:
"java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: (name of program)
Exception in thread "main" "
Please let me know what I'm not doing right. I would really appreciate anybody's thoughts on this problem because I would love to get Forte working so I can start learning Java. Thanks for your input!

I would tell you that Forte is not a tool for the beginner. you should look at something simpler. Forte is a fully integrated development environment. I would look at a simple editor like emacs, available at gnu.org. The commands of this editor are quite difficult to get use to.
As for setting the class varialbe. It depends on the O/s that you are using. win98/me is different than NT/xp. Need to know one or the other before explaining.
email me if you have question. email address is in my profile.

A simple question please help.

Hi
I have 2 textfields and a button. I want to input a number( diameter) in the first textfield ( inputField) and by clicking on the button (myButton), I want to get the result (circonference) in the second textfield ( inputField1). diameter*3.14.

html:select and html:options simple question - please help

Hi Friends,
I am having a problem, please help me .I want to run a query and display all the lastnames of all the users in my database.Here are my files:
UserForm.java
public class UserForm extends ActionForm{
 private name firstName;
 private name lastName;
 //all getter and setters
viewuser.jsp
<html:select property="lastName">
 <html:options collection="users" property="lastName" labelProperty="lastName" />
</html:select>
and my Java Utility class method
public ArrayList getusers() throws Exception {
 ArrayList aList = new ArrayList();
 Connection con = ConnectionUtil.getConnection();
 PreparedStatement stmt = null;
 try {
 stmt = con.prepareStatement("select last_name from USERS);
 ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery();
 if (rs.next()) {
 aList.add(rs.getString(1));
 }else {
 return null;
 rs.close();
 return aList;
 } catch (SQLException e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
 throw new ServiceProcessingException(e.getMessage());
 } finally {
 ConnectionUtil.closeStatement(stmt);
 ConnectionUtil.closeConnection(con);
 }My problem is what i need to do in my Action class,so that it sets the "users" variable
properly and i would be able to read that variable in my jsp and display the lastname
of all the users.I am tryin this but failing badly:
public class UserAction extends Action{
ArrayList userssList = Utility_class_obj.getUsers();
request.getSession().getServletContext().setAttribute("users", usersList);Please Please help,I would really appreciate your help.
Thanks

Thanks a lot friend...this time i made it work my style,next time i will use tha mehod.But I think I am not doing it the right way,please correct me:
This is the method in my utility class where i run the query and I doubt I am not doing it right here:
PreparedStatement stmt = null;
ViewForm vForm = null;
try {
stmt = con.prepareStatement("SELECT LAST_NAME FROM USERS_ADD"); \
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery();
while(rs.next()) {
 vForm = new ViewForm(rs.getString(1));
 aList.add(vForm);
 rs.close();
 return aList; }
}And I made this constructor in my viewForm class:
public ViewForm(String lastName){ this.setLastName(lastName); }I do this in my Action class then:
ArrayList pList = csDAO.getUsers();
 if(pList != null){
 request.getSession().getServletContext().setAttribute("plist", pList);
}And finally this in my jsp:
 <html:select property="lastName">
 <html: options collection="plist" property="lastName" labelProperty="lastName" /> And it works,but i don't think I can keep adding constructors to my form class like that,and moreoever if I want to search by first name ,there would be a conflict between 2 constructors,so can someone please tell me the right way to do this.
Thanks

Simple question, please help

I just need to know right now can SSL be used for secure FTP to send commands and data over separate channels, and if so, how? I want to replace a simple FTP socket connection with a secure one, nothing fancy. I don't want to use HTTP unless I absolutely have to. Any advice would be appreciated.

Has anyone evaluated all the different options available and found the better alternatives? I have found SSH Communications Security's SSH Secure Shell, RSA Security's BSafe SSL-J, ValiCert's SecureTransport (a.k.a. FileDrive) and others. I haven't compared them in detail yet and was hoping to get some advice from others out there who are doing the same sort of thing.

This is a very simple question,but I don't know.Please me.Thank you!

I am a Chinese student in a university.I have a very simple question to ask.
I have writed a EJB module,and I have deployed to Weblogic8.1 successfully.
1.Now I want to write a client program.Is it necessary that the client program is packaged in the EJB package.For example ,the EJB package is Beans,is "package Beans " or "import Beans.*" necessary in my client program.
2.If I only know the EJB interfaces,that means the EJB module is writed by other programer.I want to know how I can write the client program.How can I call EJB module's method writed by other programer.Could you give me a simple example?

A very simple question..Very Urgent

HI,
I have a very simple question.I am able to set up the client authentication as well as server authentication. Now do i need to authenticate (both server as well as client auth.) for every request i send to the server on https...i think it should be like that it should authenticate only for the first time and for the next upcoming requests in same session should not require any server or client authentication.. i think as it happens in browsers..
what is the fact actually??..can somebody put some light...right now in my case it is authenticating for every requests..
This is what i have done..
/****constructor part********/
// and tm are arrays of keymanagers and trustmanagers for client keystore and truststore
sslContext.init(km, tm, null);
HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultSSLSocketFactory(ssf);
HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultHostnameVerifier(new MYHostNameVerifier());
/****Method to send the request and response*********/
urlConn = (HttpsURLConnection)url.openConnection();
urlConn.setDoInput(true);
urlConn.setDoOutput(true);
OutputStream os = urlConn.getOutputStream();
ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(os);
oos.writeObject(someobject);
oos.flush();
InputStream is1 = urlConn.getInputStream();
ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(is1);
SomeObject retObj = null;
retObj = (SomeObject)ois.readObject();
ois.close();
System.out.println("Get String>>>>> "+retObj.getString());
I am creating the object of this class..and calling the method again and again for sending requests and response..so i think handshake everytime i call the method...what i want is that handshake should happen for the first time and for the next requests no handshake or certificates should be checked or processed..
is it possible ..how..what i need to do for that..
please help me in this..

A very very very simple question

Hi guys,
I have a very simple question and standard but I cant find anywhere...
I have two dateTime variables, i need to calculate difference between this dates in days, thats it.
I tried all functions and tried without success a Java Embed task but I couldnt retrieve this objects as java.util.Date so I couldnt calculate exactly the difference in days like this pure java code:
(dataVencimento.getTime() - dataReferencia.getTime()) / 86400000L)
can you help me this?

Hi Jose
Just see if these alternate approaches works. I know there may be lot like this and you may be lucky to find out simple out of box solution itself. If you want to solve this issue and move ahead, gives these approaches a shot.
1. Create a very simple standalone WebService that takes 2 input date elements (can be of Date type or String type. If string type, convert to date in your java code). Create a simple operation like getDaysBetween(firstDate, secondDate). In the generated webservice impl class, use the java code apis (refer earlier link for usage), and get the difference. Return this value. NOW, invoke this WebService in your BPEL Process, and pass your 2 inputs (if the bpel payload elemetns are date object or string objects of date), and get output, and then use this output in your continuing bpel process.
2. This approach, I did a long back. When we insert any expression using XPath, in that editor window on bottom right side, we see many categories and for each category we see list of functions we can use, like for String, we can use concat etc. I vaguely remember reading somewhere, that we can add our own custom functions also in this section. So explore this direction and see if you can add your own function and then use that fucntion with your 2 input dates.
I have not given solution to your problem, but may be these directions can help you move ahead. Or something along these lines.
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

HT4753 I have a very simple question: how do I view where Lion has autosaved my current version to (without the convoluted route of using finder)? In days gone by i'd simply use the save as function to see where it was being saved.

I have a very simple question: how do I view where Lion has autosaved my current version to (without the convoluted route of using finder)? In days gone by i'd simply use the save as function to see where it was being saved.

It's actually even easier than using Save As to see the full path to the currently open document. Just do a "Secondary click" on the document title in its window's title bar.
Like you, I relied upon Save As my whole life to check a file's location and considered it a must-have capability. Turns out it's even faster to use the single-click method to reveal the full path to the open document. It displays the entire path to the current document starting from the level of your Mac, and works for files stored on drives as well as iCloud.
If you're not sure how to do a secondary click, go into System Preferences, select Trackpad, Point & Click to find the current preference for secondary click on your Mac. If you happen to have a mouse with more than one button, it's probably the right button. As a trackpad user, I check the box to "Click or tap with two fingers," so a simple two finger tap on the title of an open document reveals its full path. This feature actually has been around for a very long time.
Note that this is not the same thing as the Autosave and Versions menu, which is exposed using a little drop down triangle to the right of the title. There is no visual clue for the presence of this feature - you just have to know it's there, probably because this feature goes all the way back to pre-OS X days.

A very simple question, please help.
