Add mouselisteners to an array of JTextField objects

Hi. I am writing a program to emulate a calendar and I though I would do it for each day I would have a JTextField hold the contents of the field. A user could set the event for that time by clicking on the corresponding textfield. I'm still working on saving to file and whatnot, but my question is how can I add motionlisteners to an array of JTextFields?
Here is what I've written so far:
for(JTextField c: event)
               c.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter()
               public void mousePressed(MouseEvent ev)
                    String in = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please Enter event for this time");
                    c.setText(in);
          }I run into I immediate error regarding setting the contents of c within an innerclass. I know it wouldn't be an issue if c was defined as a private variable, but I don't know if that is permitted for the for each loop. Also I get another error I'm not sure of, something about this can only work if the source level is 5.0 which I don't know what that means.
also outside of this method I've set the object event:
private JTextField[] event = new JTextField[168];any input would be appreciated.

When you have an inner class, you can only access variables that are declared final. So, this should work:
for (int i=0; i <168; i++)
          final JTextField tempEvent = event;
          event[i].addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter()
               public void mousePressed(MouseEvent ev)
                    String in = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please Enter event for this time");
                    tempEvent.setText(in);

Array of JPanel and Array of JTextField?

Hi,
I try to create array of jpanel and inizialize it in "for" , but when run it give me this error message:
"Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException"
at the row: "panInsCantante.add(panInsNCC);"
why?
(ps. i tried in another code to create array of jtextfield and it give me same error message..)
here part of code :
      JPanel [] panInsCantante = new JPanel[3];
      for(int i=0;i<=N;i++){
           JPanel panInsNCC= new JPanel();
           panInsNCC.setLayout( new GridLayout(3,1) );
           panInsNCC.add(campoTesto1);
           panInsNCC.add(campoTesto2);
           panInsNCC.add(campoTesto3);
           //panInsCantante[i] = new JPanel();
           //panInsCantante.setLayout( new GridLayout(1,1) );
     panInsCantante[i].add(panInsNCC);

a question (theoric...)A VERY important question I may add.
what's the difference between ..
this instance :
JPanel [] panInsCantante = new
JPanel[3];This declares and initializes the array itself, nothing more. No JPanels have been initialized as yet, just the array. It's as if you have now built the shelves to hold the books, but you have no books up there yet...
and this instance of panInsCantante? :
panInsCantante[i] = new JPanel();and this initializes each JPanel in the array as you loop through the array. .... and now you have filled the shelves with the books and can use the books.
You will need them both.
In all likelihood, the reason for your confusion is that all of your previous arrays were arrays of primative types: int, double, float, and char. In this situation, you don't need to go through the step of initializing the variable.
But now you are faced for the first time with an array of reference type, an array of Objects. This is a different situation and requires the steps that we have gone through.

I can't seem to get individual elements when comparing 2 arrays using Compare-Object

My backup software keeps track of servers with issues using a 30 day rolling log, which it emails to me once a week in CSV format. What I want to do is create a master list of servers, then compare that master list against the new weekly lists to identify
servers that are not in the master list, and vice versa. That way I know what servers are new problem and which ones are pre-existing and which ones dropped off the master list. At the bottom is the entire code for the project. I know it's a bit much
but I want to provide all the information, hopefully making it easier for you to help me :)
Right now the part I am working on is in the Compare-NewAgainstMaster function, beginning on line 93. After putting one more (fake) server in the master file, the output I get looks like this
Total entries (arrMasterServers): 245
Total entries (arrNewServers): 244
Comparing new against master
There are 1 differences.
InputObject SideIndicator
@{Agent= Virtual Server in vCenterServer; Backupse... <=
What I am trying to get is just the name of the server, which should be $arrDifferent[0] or possibly $arrDifferent.Client. Once I have the name(s) of the servers that are different, then I can do stuff with that. So either I am not accessing the array
right, building the array right, or using Compare-Object correctly.
Thank you!

do not do this:
$arrDifferent = @(Compare-Object $arrMasterServers $arrNewServers)
Try this:
$arrDifferent = Compare-Object $arrMasterServers $arrNewServers -PassThru
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This is what made the difference. I guess you don't have to declare arrDifferent as an array, it is automatically created as an array when Compare-Object runs and fills it with the results of the compare operation. I'll look at that "pass thru" option
in a little more detail. Thank you very much!
Yes - this is the way PowerShell works. You do not need to write so much code once you understand what PS can and is doing.

Best way to perform the same task wih arrays of different Objects

Hello all.
This isn't an XPath question, it's a much lower-level Java Object question, but it involves XPath. I hope that doesn't distract from the question, or confuse anything.
I have 4-5 different types of Objects (call them A, B, C, etc.) that each contain an array of other Objects (call them a[], b[], c[], etc.)
a, b, c, etc., each have an Xpath object and and XPathExpression. When I create each XPath object I assign it a NamespaceContext object which contains the namespaces needed for that XPath.
When I create, for example, an A object, I pass is constructor an array of a and an array of Namespaces. With each a object I need to:
1. create a NamespaceContext object
2. go through all the Namespace objects and if its route matches,
(if Namespace.route == a.getRoute() )
3. add that Namespace to the NamespaceContext Object,
4. assign the NamespaceContext to the XPath object, and finally
5. create the a object, passing it the XPath object
My problem / question is: I also have to do the same thing with B and b[], C and c[], etc. It's not that long of a process, not that much code, but all the same, I was wondering what the best way to write this code once would be, and have it work for all the different types of Objects.
In other words, I'd like to write a mehod, call it assignNamespaces(), that accepts an array of Objects(a[], b[], c[], etc.) and an array of Namespaces, creates the XPath Object for each a, b, c, etc., and that creates and returns an array of a[],b[],c[], etc., sending the XPath Object as a parameter.
That way when I create for example an A Object, I call:
class A
ObjectsWithXpath[] objectsWithXPath;
this..objectsWithXPath = assignNamespaces(objectsWithXPath,namespaces);
Should the assgnNamespaces() method simply use Class.forName() to see what type of Object it is and do a cast accordingly, or is there some other, more elegant way of doing this?
I hope I've explained myself, and haven't bored you ...
Thanks in advance,
Bob

Thanks for your reply!
I poked around a bit looking into Factory classes. I've used them a million times but never actually made one. At any rate, they seem like a good idea when you have a bunch of different classes that are similar but not equal.
In my case my classes ONLY have the XPathExpression in common. Which means that I'd have to make a base abstract class with a bunch of methods of which only a percentage are defined by any class that extends it. In other words, if I had 3 classes -- a, b and c -- that extend the base abstract class, and each had 5 getters and setters, the base abstract class would have 15 methods, 5 only used by a, 5 only used by b and 5 only used by c.
It seemed a bit ugly to me. Besides, I only have 3 classes. I decided to factor out the inner loop, which is about 70% of the code, stick it in a utility class, and call it from there. I am repeating some code still, but it isn't that bad, and it saves me having to define an interface, an abstract class, a Factory class, etc.
It ain't perfect, but then nothing ever is.
Thanks for all the help! Viva the Java community!

Newbie - help needed with array and dictionary objects

Hi all
Please see the code below. I've posted this code in another thread however the original issue was resolved and this is now a new issue I'm having although centered around the same code.
The issue is that I'm populating an array with dictionary objects. each dictionary object has a key and it's value is another array of custom objects.
I've found that the code runs without error and I end up with my array as I'm expecting however all of the dictionary objects are the same.
I assume it's something to do with pointers and/or re-using the same objects but i'm new to obj-c and pointers so i am a bit lost.
Any help again is very much appreciated.

Ok, so I know what the issue is now...I just don't know enough to be able to resolve it!
it's the tempAuthors objects.
It's an NSMutableArray which is create on the line before the start of the WHILE loop.
Having looked through the debugger, I can see that each dictionary object is created (with different codes which I assume are memory addresses) so all is well there. However, on each iteration of the loop in the middle there is an IF...ELSE... statement which in the ELSE section is clearing all objects from the tempAuthors array and beginning to repopulate it again.
Looking at the containing dictionary objects in the debugger I can see that the tempAuthors object that each contains has the same code (again, I'm assuming this is a memory address) - so if I understand correctly, it's the same object...I assumed that when I created the dictionary using the dictionWithObject call that I would be passing in a copy of the object, but it's referencing back to the object which I then go on to change.
Assuming the above is correct, I've tried several "stabs in the dark" at fixing it.
I've tried relasing the tempAuthors object within the ELSE and initialising it again via an alloc...init - but this didn't work and again looking through the debugger it looks as though it was confused as to which object it was supposed to be using on the following iteration of the WHILE loop (it tried to access the released object).
Having read a little more about memory management can someone tell me if I'm correct in saying that the above is because the tempAuthors object is declare outside the scope of the WHILE loop yet I then try to re-instantiate it within the loop (does that make sense???).
Sorry for the long post...the more I can understand the process the less I can hopefully stop relying on others for help so much.
I am continuing to read up on memory management etc but just not there yet.

Help, store an array of cd objects

im doing a java project on creating a music cd database, i need to store an array of cd objects, each entry in the array will be a single object for a cd.
The objects are: Artist, Album, No of tracks
I need some help with this, thanks
here's the code ive done so far:
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
class Cd1
     public static void main (String[] args)
          int menu_choice;
          CdRecord one = new CdRecord();
          one.artist_name = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter artist name.");
          one.album_name = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter album name.");
          one.no_of_tracks =Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter the number of tracks on the album"));
     one.printCdRecord();
class CdRecord
     public String artist_name;
     public String album_name;
     public int no_of_tracks;
public CdRecord (String artist, String album, int tracks, int year)
     artist_name = artist;
     album_name = album;
     no_of_tracks = tracks;
public CdRecord()
artist_name = "A";
album_name = "B";
no_of_tracks = 0;
public void printCdRecord ()
String o = "Artist Name: " + artist_name + "\nAlbum Name: " album_name"\nNo. Of Tracks: " + no_of_tracks;;
System.out.println(o);
}

where should i put this in my code?this part would normally be a class field, accessible from many parts of the class
java.util.List<CdRecord> records;to it may look something like this
class Cd1
private java.util.List<CdRecord> records;//and use constructor to create
//or
private java.util.List<CdRecord> records = new java.util.ArrayList<CdRecord>();
...as is, the above will cause you a problem because you have most of your code in main() which is static.
before you go much further, rethink your program design:
- your class name is Cd1, which would indicate a single CD, but you're doing a CD database so call it CdInventory, CdCollection, etc
- the only code you want in main() is to start the program, so that would be new CdInventory(), nothing more (unless creating a GUI)
- how are you going to get new records - a GUI with buttons add/edit/delete, or the console.
- are you going to save new/edited records to a file (the database), and read existing data back into the program at startup
- basically how you go about the above determines what you have in the constructor of the program (and do not use main() for this)

Using the value "Image/*" for the accept attribute of the HTML input Element, how can I add .pdf to the array of preconfigured file types (.jpe, .jpg, .jpeg, .?

On a form, using the value "image/*" for the accept attribute of the HTML input Element, how can I add .pdf to the array of pre-configured file types (.jpe, .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .png, .bmp, .ico, .svg, .svgz, .tif, .tiff, .ai, .drw, .pct, .psp, .xcf, .psd, .raw)?
Say I wanted to add .gif, .jfif or .ico. I find this array limited, how can I add types to image?
<input type="file" name="file" accept="image/*" id="file" />
mimeTypes.rdf does not seem to allow this.

''mimeTypes.rdf'' has nothing to do with web development. It's a file that stores your file handling preferences (e.g. if you want ZIP files automatically saved or opened).
You can't change the file types of the pre-defined content specifiers (audio/*, video/*, image/*), but you can specify additional MIME types. To add PDF to your above example,
<pre><nowiki><input type="file" name="file" accept="image/*,application/pdf" id="file" /></nowiki></pre>

How to pass Array of Java objects to Callable statement

Hi ,
I need to know how can I pass an array of objects to PL/SQL stored procedure using callable statement.
So I am having and array list of some object say xyz which has two attributes string and double type.
Now I need to pass this to a PL/SQL Procedure as IN parameter.
Now I have gone through some documentation for the same and found that we can use ArrayDescriptor tp create array (java.sql.ARRAY).
And we will use a record type from SQL to map this to our array of java objects.
So my question is how this mapping of java object's two attribute will be done to the TYPE in SQL? can we also pass this array as a package Table?
Please help
Thanks

Array of JTextFields

If I have an array of JTextFields e.g. tf = new JTextField[i] for 1<i<46, how can I get the cursor to automatically tab to the next field once a string of numbers has been inputted to one of them. I'm trying to design a Scan Frame for barcodes and I want to be able to scan the first one and automatically be able to scan the next and so on
thanks
I can show you code if you need it

You can set actionListener to forcus on the JTextField[0] and make a function to do the action and then use grabforcus to move cursor to the next JTextField. For example
JTextField exam [] = new JTextField[3];
the actionperform function is here
if(e.source == exam[0])
dosomething;
exam[1].grabforcus;//you may check the spelling for sure
and so on for the next array index.
Hope solving your problem.

Array of class objects

I was wondering how would you declare an array of class objects. Here is my situation:
I'm working on a project dealing with bank accounts. Each customer has a specific ID and a balance. I have to handle transactions for each customer at different times, so I was thinking that I need an array of class objects; however, I dont know how to initialize them.
Here's what I did:
BankAccount [ ] myAccount = new BankAccount[10];
// 10 = 10 customers
How do I initialize the objects?
Thankz

HAI
Use the hashtable
and store the classObject of each customer with the corresponding Id in it
and whenever u want to recover a class match the Id and get the corresponding class
that is the best way to solve ur problem

How to create an array of an object,

Hi,
Trying this in Oracle 10.3 studio, I have to use a web service, I have re-catalogued the web service succesfully,
I am getting compilation error whenI try to create an array of a object,
Services.PackageTrackingService.PackageTrackingItem[] pkgTrackingItem = new Services.PackageTrackingService.PackageTrackingItem[2];
I am giving the array size as 2,
The comilation error is showing as
Multiple markers at this line
- statement is expected
- Expecting ';' but 'pkgTrackingItem' was found
- expression is expected
Is there any other way to create the array?
Thanks in advance.
-Sree

Hi,
Please declare the array in following manner.
Services.PackageTrackingService.PackageTrackingItem[] pkgTrackingItem;
Now you can insert the element into the array by pkgTrackingItem[0], pkgTrackingItem[1] etc.

Array of cfc object help

I just picked up coldfusion about a month ago, so my
coldfusion lingo sucks. I have been programming in C++ for over 5
years now and will be using a lot of C++ terminology to help avoid
any confusion. I am writing a cfc function that preforms web
servicing. This function needs to return an object/class that is
defined in another coldfusion function. I can do this without a
problem if I only need to return one instance of this object.
However, I cannot seem to return an array of this object (I need to
return multiple instances of this object, kind of like a query, but
for programming purposes it needs to stay as an object).
It seems that the webservicing function hates my return type.
If I try to make an array of the object, it does not like array or
the object as the return type. However, when I take this function
out of the cfc, and make it a cfm, it gets the array of objects
just fine. So, I think I am having issues with the return type on
the <cffunction> tag. So I came up with the idea of creating
another object which will hold an array of the first object and
using the second object as the return type. Here is some psuedo
code of the function I am working on:
<cffunction name="SelectGames" access="remote"

It keeps telling me that it does not recognize the return
type.
Here are examples of the two objects I am using from the 2
dif. cfc files:
<cfcomponent>
<cfproperty name="gamesArray" type="array">
</cfcomponent>
<cfcomponent>
<cfproperty name="Game_id" type="numeric">
<cfproperty name="gameDate" type="date">
<cfproperty name="Starttime" type="string">
<cfproperty name="Place" type="string">
<cfproperty name="Level" type="string">
<cfproperty name="Sport" type="string">
<cfproperty name="Gender" type="string">
<cfproperty name="Opponent" type="string">
<cfproperty name="Type" type="string">
<cfproperty name="Link" type="string">
</cfcomponent>
Feel free to post any questions to clear anything up, I know
this is confusing and I probably did a poor job of explaining my
problem. Also, if I throw this code into a cfm and try to make an
array of games, it works, this is the code I got it to work with:
<cfset myArray = newArray(1)>
<cfloop query="getevents">
<cfset counter = counter + 1>
<cfset test.Game_id = event_id>
<cfset test.gameDate = eventdate>
<cfset test.Starttime = starttime>
<cfset test.Place = place>
<cfset test.Level = level>
<cfset test.Sport = sport>
<cfset test.Gender = division>
<cfset test.Opponent = opponent_id>
<cfset test.Type = type>
<cfset test.Link = spec_name>
<cfset myArray[counter] = test>
</cfloop>
I guess my problem is I do not know how to specify a type for
an array.

The return type of this FUNCTION would be returnType="array".
No matter
what kind of data the array contained.
That's what I get for fast proofing.

How to call a method using a array of that object?

hey, another array question
for example i have 2 classes one name class and a driver
inside the name class i have method that gets the name
public Name getName1( ) {return name1;}
my question is if i created an array of Name objects in my driver with the following line
Name [ ] n1 = new Name [ ] ;
and i wanna call methods inside the name class using my array of Name that i created how do i do it?
thanks in advance

thanks for the reply Maxx
another question regarding arrays
for example if im doing an array of objects Name[ ] n1 = new Name [ ]
and i have a method that removes the name if its the same as the user input
if (n1[ i ].getName.equals(myName))
/ / if they equal it removes it,
else,
/ / the n[ 1 ] stays the same
ive search the forum for previous questions on this but their examples doesnt seems to work, can anyone help? also if end up using this remove method that checks the elements in n1 if it matches it will remove it what should i do to avoid nullpointerexceptions if i wanna shift it all down?
thanks in advance
