srinivasYou don't need two listeners. One single listener, with the default name of LISTENER, using the default port of 1521, is quite capable of --- indeed, was designed to --- service multiple instances of multiple versions running from multiple homes. And you most certainly don't need multiple listeners for the same instance. the listener is like a telephone switchboard. The phone company doesn't build a switchboard for every telephone customer. (analogous to a listener for every db instance) and they sure don't build one for every handset (a listener for every client application)

Add listener to Grid Infrastructure using srvctl.

Hi,
We have a two node 11.2.0.3 Grid Infra cluster running on SLES11 Linux.
Everything is ok with the SCAN and standard listeners.
However we have a listener running on each node which is used by Oracle Gateway. These listeners were created manually using info provided by Oracle (i.e. definition copied to $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/listener.ora and started using lsnrctl). This all works.
These listeners are currently not managed by Grid Infra. We would like them to be.
I thought this was easy enough using srvctl to register them with Grid Infra using...
srvctl add listener -n mynode1 -l LISTENER_MYNODE1_GW -o $ORACLE_HOME -p 1529
srvctl add listener -n mynode2 -l LISTENER_MYNODE2_GW -o $ORACLE_HOME -p 1529
These commands worked but did give a warning stating that the -n flag is deprecated and will be ignored.
This has left us with the following listener config....
grid@MYNODE1:~> srvctl status listener -n mynode1 | grep mynode
Listener LISTENER_MYNODE1_GW is enabled on node(s): mynode1
Listener LISTENER_MYNODE1_GW is not running on node(s): mynode1
Listener LISTENER_MYNODE2_GW is enabled on node(s): mynode1
Listener LISTENER_MYNODE2_GW is not running on node(s): mynode1
grid@MYNODE1:~> srvctl status listener -n mynode 2 | grep mynode
Listener LISTENER_MYNODE1_GW is enabled on node(s): mynode2
Listener LISTENER_MYNODE1_GW is not running on node(s): mynode2
Listener LISTENER_MYNODE2_GW is enabled on node(s): mynode2
Listener LISTENER_MYNODE2_GW is not running on node(s): mynode2
You can see that Grid Infra knows about the listeners but they are available on both nodes. What we would like is a result like the following example....
grid@MYNODE1:~> srvctl status listener -n mynode1 | grep mynode
Listener LISTENER_MYNODE1_GW is enabled on node(s): mynode1
Listener LISTENER_MYNODE1_GW is not running on node(s): mynode1
grid@MYNODE1:~> srvctl status listener -n mynode 2 | grep mynode
Listener LISTENER_MYNODE2_GW is enabled on node(s): mynode2
Listener LISTENER_MYNODE2_GW is not running on node(s): mynode2
i.e one listener registered with just the node it is running on. This used to be possible with using the -n flag but no longer works. Does anyone have any advice on how to achive this in 11gR2.
Any input appreciated,
Regards
ma365

Hi get the info of the listener and the scan -[listeners]
Execute the statements from the GRID infrastructure.
srvctl config listener [-l listener_name] [-a] this gives the info how the listener is register in to the OCR.
alternative:
Execute the steps to add a listener.
srvctl add listener -l crmlistener -p TCP:1533 -o {CRS_HOME}
srvctl enable listener -l crmlistener
srvctl start listener -l crmlistener
srvctl config listener -l crmlistener -a
lsnrctl status crmlistener
See what the result of this exercise is, working then convert to this method

Add listener to 10g RAC manually

Hi RAC Expert,
Currently thinking to build RAC standby site. I believe that NETCA can be use to configure network services and it will automatically add to OCR.
If I put the tnsnsames.ora and listener.ora manually to $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin and start the listener manually (lsrnctl start)..etc
I only able to see srvctl configure listener ... (query the listener configuration), but there has no srvctl add listener....
How can I register the listener in ocr manually by using srvctl?
Thanks
Best Regards,
Vbeer

Hi,
I Need help here. Somehow netca cannot add listener to crs. Is there any other way to do it?say crs_register?
When I put listener.ora file that I use to start listener on one node, netca recognizes the listener for the instance and can delete it. However when I ask it to add, it hungs at registering the listener with the name listener ( suppose it should be listener_hostname).
my /crs_stat -t will never show the lsnr resource being registered)
Thanks

Add listener to work with weblogic

          hi
          i make a administration question:
          now i work with the weblogic into the default port,7001.
          and i would like to work whith another port , such us port 80 . I find into documentation in weblogic into the section Setting WebLogic properties , the sub secction Setting up WebLogic to listen on port 80 , but this not talk about add listener, only how to listen by the other port.
          is there any document to solve my problem
          or knowing somebody the solution?
          any help will be appreaciated


weblogic.system.listenPort=80
          Or are you asking how to get it to listen on both ports at the same time?
          If so, I do not believe that feature is supported. What are you trying to
          accomplish?

JComboBox - how to get popup or add listener

Hi,
Using a JComboBox I want to add a mouse listener so I can detect when a user press mouse on it. It seems that the popup may be getting the mouse event though. Is there a way to add a mouse listener to it so I can catch mousepressed event? perhaps a way to get the actual ComboPopup??
...hopefully it can be done without subclassing the combobox UI, or popup, or jcombobox itself.
thanks

It occurs to me that what you are probably asking is not 'how do I add a MouseListener
to the popup menu', but rather, 'how do I add a MouseListener to the ComboBox itself'.
Camickr suggestion is spot on if your combo box is editable. If it is not, you should add
it to the renderer. However, I'm not sure if that will still catch mouse events on the arrow
button which pops the list, and that doesn't seem to be accessible from the UI.
Hmmm. Probably your best bet is to iterate through the combo box's child components
and add the listener to each of those.

Add listener / remove listener

hi,
when I add a listener on a clip or button (like the CLICK Event) that exists in the timeline do I allways have to remove the listener if the Clip is removed from stage? Or will it be removed automaticly by the garbage collection?
TIA

It will only be removed automatically if you use a weak reference:
clip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler, false, 0, true); //weak ref
vs:
clip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler); //strong ref
the second version is only removed if you removeEventListener on it.

Add Listener to Unknown Number of JMenuItems

How can I add an ActionListener to each JMenuItem by cycling through an unknown number of menu items?
I have a program that prompts the user for a database, then creates a JMenu of table names based on whatever database the user selects.
This means that I don't know the table names or number of tables that will be added to the JMenu.
I need to add an ActionListener to EACH JMenuItem. The problem is that I am only able to select one table from the menu. Subsequent menu clicks (on different table names) have no affect on the output.
Here is an excerpt of my code:
ResultSet rs = md.getTables(null, null, null, types);
while (rs.next()) {
tables.add(rs.getString("table_name"));
for (Iterator i = tables.iterator(); i.hasNext(); )
String table = (String) i.next();
JMenuItem mi = new JMenuItem(table);
j1.add(mi);
mi.addActionListener(this);
[END CODE]
Thanks for any help you can give!

I got it. It turns out that I WAS setting the listeners correctly. My additonal output was "hidden" in the window. I found it by pure luck when I expanded the window size.
I added a line to remove all components from the JPanel before adding a new one and this "refresh" worked.
Thanks fot the help anyway! It is greatly appreciated.

Add listener in HTMLPANE BEAN AREA

I have a Java class which interprets the HTML code (based on http://forms.pjc.bean.over-blog.com/article-1896785.html).
On the other hand I have another class that captures the key down (based on the exemple keypressed.zip in the same web page http://forms.pjc.bean.over-blog.com).
Both classes are in the same jar.
In my form I have a bean area that implements the HTML class, but if the focus is on this element ignores the key pressed.
The same thing happened with the buttons and adding the following code in the KEY class has been fixed.
protected void getTextItems(Component component, int iter)
if (component.getClass().getName().equals("oracle.forms.ui.VTextField"))
oracle.forms.ui.VTextField vt = (oracle.forms.ui.VTextField)component ;
vt.addKeyListener(kl);
else if (component.getClass().getName().equals("oracle.forms.ui.VTextArea"))
oracle.forms.ui.VTextArea ta = (oracle.forms.ui.VTextArea)component ;
ta.addKeyListener(kl);
else if (component.getClass().getName().equals("oracle.forms.ui.VBean"))
oracle.forms.ui.VBean abe = (oracle.forms.ui.VBean)component ;
abe.addKeyListener(kl);
else if (component.getClass().getName().equals("oracle.forms.ui.VButton"))
oracle.forms.ui.VButton btn = (oracle.forms.ui.VButton)component ;
btn.addKeyListener(kl);
if (component instanceof Container)
Component components[] = ((Container)component).getComponents();
iter++;
for (int i = 0; i < components.length; i++)
{ if (components[i] != null)
{ getTextItems(components[i],iter);}
The HTML class implements VBean, i don't understand why the next code hasn't effect
else if (component.getClass().getName().equals("oracle.forms.ui.VBean"))
oracle.forms.ui.VBean abe = (oracle.forms.ui.VBean)component ;
abe.addKeyListener(kl);
Some idea?
Regards

Hi,
you will have to register this function as a custom ID and then handle the call in the set_property() method of the PJC.
If this method is supposed to only return a value, then use the get_property() method.
protected static final ID mTest = ID.registerProperty("MYTEST");
public Object getProperty(ID p0){
if (ID== mTest) then {
return "my string";
else
return super.getProperty(p0);
variable1 := get_custom_property('block.beanitem',1,'MYTEST');
Note that the code could contain typos as I was writing it from the top of my head.

Can we add listener to some component using reflection ?

Hi,
I have a third party swing application. I am trying to invoke it from my application by calling its main() method using reflection and it works!
Then I try to attach the mouseMotionListener to its components using reflection but cannot succeed. Is it possible to do that?? If yes then how?
Thanks in advance

You shouldn't need reflection for this. Assuming it's a JFrame, JDialog or JWindow (any RootPaneConatiner), just call getContentPane() and recursively iterate through its children, adding MouseListeners along the way (or wherever you find a component of a type you're interested in, for example ignore things like JPanels, JLabels, etc.).
FYI - you also shouldn't need reflection to call an application's main() method, assuming you already know what the class is that contains that main() method.

How can I add action listener to a cell or row in a table?

hi there
I need to be able to click on one cell or one row in a table, and perform some action, like openning a dialog or something. how can i add listener?

// See How to Use Tables in tutorial. You will get one idea about Table Renderer and Editors.
// If u understand the concept, ur problem is very easy to solve by adding Editor to your column.
"You can think of the renderer as a configurable ink stamp that the table uses to stamp appropriately formatted data onto each cell. When the user starts to edit a cell's data, a cell editor takes over the cell, controlling the cell's editing behavior.
Here, While tabing thru the table row, default all cell editors are JLabels. (Not editables)
So u can make it those cells are editable JTextFields or JComboBoxes based on the column while tabbing. And you can add Listeners to that fields too. So those editable fields are called Editor Components.
// see javax.swing.DefaultCellEditor class for more description
Here i am adding my own JTextField editor to 3rd column of a table by using
mytable.getColumnModel().getColumn(2).setCellEditor(editor );
Here editor is a obj of below class. (Not complete..class)
public class JbuiEditor extends DefaultCellEditor implements // any listener {
public JbuiEditor(JTextField tField) {
super(tField);
setClickCountToStart(1);
tField.addFocusListener(this);
this.editorComponent = tField;
public Component getComponent(){
     return editorComponent;
public Component getTreeCellEditorComponent(JTree tree, Object value,
                              boolean isSelected,
                              boolean expanded,
                              boolean leaf, int row) {
     String StringValue = tree.convertValueToText(value, isSelected,
                         expanded, leaf, row, false);
     delegate.setValue(stringValue);
     return editorComponent;
public Object getCellEditorValue() {
return super.getCellEditorValue();
public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected,int row, int column) {
super.getTableCellEditorComponent(table,value,isSelected,row,column);
((JTextField)editorComponent).setText(value.toString());
//Here u can add any type of listener to this Editor component.like..
((JTextField)editorComponent).addActionListener(..);
((JTextField)editorComponent).addFocusListener(..);
return editorComponent;
Hope gives some idea.

ADD A SECOND LISTENER USING SRVCTL COMMAND

Hi All,
My RAC has w nodes (10g 10.2.0.4)
it already has a default listener (NODE1_LISTENER1 in ASM home port 1521) register with the CRS and i already create a second listener manually on both nodes.
My question is how to add this listener (NODE1_listener1) using srvctl command not the netca
Thanks in advance.
Regard,
Tom

srvctl add listener is not support in 10g ,
but in 11g you can add listener using srvctl
10g:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/rac.102/b14197/srvctladmin.htm#RACAD5002
11g:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/rac.111/b28254/srvctladmin.htm#CDCEECFB
So, You need to use netca to help on 10g

How to add own Listener?

Hi!
The problem is that I have inherited the class MyTrayIcon from TrayIcon with implementing of MouseListener interface to handle mouse double click. But TrayIcon doesn't have method 'addMouseListener' as MyTrayIcon doesn't. So, how can I add listener is this case?

How about looping through the array of listeners and
removing it if it's an instance of ListListener?
if (eventListeners[index] instanceof ListListener)
removeMouseListener(eventListeners[index]);I thought of that, but as I said i my post, eventListeners[] is protected.
How about writing your own ListListener in the
appropriate package which does precisely nothing, and
making sure it goes in the CLASSPATH before the
package you're supposed to use?Nice idea, but unfortunately, when I submit the assignment I have no way of making sure that it does go into the classpath before the package.
Thanks for your help, but I think I'll have to stick with the workaround.
It's not too hard: public static void setListData(DefaultListModel model, Object data[])
    model.clear();
    for (int i = 0; i < data.length; i++)
      model.addElement(data);

How to add a Listener to the JLabel

Hi,
I am doing a Designer module in which i want to Listen Focus gained event on JLabel. For that i have added FocusListener to the JLabel but it does not listen to this event. (i think because of JLabels extraodinary property).
So How to add listener to the JLabel?

Set the label to be focusable. This will allow it to gain focus from the
keyboard (from pressing TAB, for example), but not from being clicked on.
It's easy to give some demo code than to explain it:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class LabelListening extends MouseAdapter implements FocusListener {
    private static final String TEXT_KEY = "jlabel_text_key";
    public void focusGained(FocusEvent e) {
        JLabel label = (JLabel) e.getComponent();
        String text = (String) label.getClientProperty(TEXT_KEY);
        label.setText("<html><u>" + text + "</u></html>");
    public void focusLost(FocusEvent e) {
        JLabel label = (JLabel) e.getComponent();
        String text = (String) label.getClientProperty(TEXT_KEY);
        label.setText(text);
    public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
        e.getComponent().requestFocusInWindow();
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        LabelListening app = new LabelListening();
        JPanel contentPane = new JPanel();
        for(int i=0; i<4; ++i) {
            String text = "label " + i;
            JLabel label = new JLabel(text);
            label.putClientProperty(TEXT_KEY, text);
            label.setFocusable(true);
            label.addFocusListener(app);
            label.addMouseListener(app);
            contentPane.add(label);
        JButton btn = new JButton("a button");
        btn.setBorderPainted(false);
        btn.setContentAreaFilled(false);
        btn.setMargin(new Insets(0,0,0,0));
        contentPane.add(btn);
        final JFrame f = new JFrame("");
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.setContentPane(contentPane);
        f.pack();
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
            public void run() {
                f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
                f.setVisible(true);
}In this example, I have the focused label underlined. I don't
know what your context is, but it may be simpler just to work with
buttons instead. I "undecorate" a button in this example to make it look
similar to a label.

Adding an event listener to combo box

I am working on a mortgage calculator and I cannot figure out how to add an event listener to a combo box.
I want to get the mortgage term and interest rate to calucate the mortgage using the combo cox. Here is my program.
Modify the mortgage program to allow the user to input the amount of a mortgage
and then select from a menu of mortgage loans: 7 year at 5.35%, 15 year at 5.50%, and
30 year at 5.75%. Use an array for the different loans. Display the mortgage payment
amount. Then, list the loan balance and interest paid for each payment over the term
of the loan. Allow the user to loop back and enter a new amount and make a new
selection, with resulting new values. Allow user to exit if running as an application
(can't do that for an applet though).

The OP already did this to both JComboBoxes.
mochatay, here is a new actionPerformed method for you to use.
I've improved a few things here and there...
1) You can't just cast the ActionEvent's source into a JComboBox!
What if it was a JButton that fired the event? Then you would get ClassCastExceptions (I'm sure you did)
So check for all options, what the source of the ActionEvent actually was...
2) You can't assume the user will always type in valid data.
So enclose the Integer and Double parse methods in try-catch brakcets.
Then you can do something when you know that the user has entered invalid input
(like tell him/her what a clumsy idiot they are !)
3) As soon as user presses an item in any JComboBox, just re-calculate.
I did this here by programmatically clicking the 'Calculate' button.
Alternatively, you could have a 'calculate' method, which does everything inside the
if(command==calculateButton) if-block.
This will be called when:
a)calculateButton is pressed
b)when either of the JComboBoxes are pressed.
public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent event)
        Object command = event.getSource ();
        if (command == calculateButton) //calculates mortgage payment
            int year = 0;
            double rate = 0;
            double mortgage = 0;
            double interest = 0;
            /* If user has input invalid data, tell him so
            and return (Exit from this method back to where we were before */
            try
                year = Integer.parseInt (mortgageTerm.getSelectedItem ().toString ());
                rate = new Double (interestRate.getSelectedItem ().toString ()).doubleValue ();
                mortgage = new Double (mortgageAmount.getText ()).doubleValue ();
                interest = rate / 100.0 / 12.0;
            catch (NumberFormatException nfe)
                /* Display a message Dialogue box with a message */
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (this, "Error! Invalid input!");
                return;
            double monthly = mortgage * (interest / (1 - Math.pow (interest + 1, -12.0 * year)));
            NumberFormat myCurrencyFormatter;
            myCurrencyFormatter = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance (Locale.US);
            monthlyPayment.setText (myCurrencyFormatter.format (monthly));
        else if (command == clearButton) //clears all text fields
            /* Better than setting it to null (I think) */
            mortgageAmount.setText ("");
            //mortgageTerm.setText(null);
            //interestRate.setText(null);
            monthlyPayment.setText ("");
        else if (command == exitButton) //sets exit button
            System.exit (0);
        else if (command == mortgageTerm)
            /* Programmatically 'clicks' the button,
            As is user had clicked it */
            calculateButton.doClick ();
        else if (command == interestRate)
            calculateButton.doClick ();
        //JComboBox mortgageTerm = (JComboBox) event.getSource ();
        //String termYear = (String) mortgageTerm.getSelectedItem ();
    }Hope this solves your problems.
I also hope you'll be able to learn from what I've indicated, so you can use similar things yourself
in future!
