Adding designer skin to java application

can somebody tell me how to add designer well rounded controls to a java appication

I suppose it is possible that that might require JNI but I suspect, at a minimum, that you should start by asking in the GUI forums first.

  • How to Print reports with Java Application

    I'm developing a database application in java using rmi and swings. Now I want to take some printout of reports from that application. Is any report designer available for java applications. How can i solve this problem. Please help me.

    Hi
    I don't know i f exist a tool like you want, but, in Java
    the print job is implemented by a class implementing the Printable interface.
    A class "Printable" must implement the print method like is defined at scpec. This method, via the params, can do print by "drawing" the page and, finally, return an integer
    indicate if the print loop must continue or not.
    The drawing op over the printer Graphics context is realized by methos of Graphics object (if you want "print"
    some text you can do g.drawString("some text",x,y) and so on).
    See the tutorials for more info
    Hope this help

  • Best book for designing and architecting a java application?

    Hi,
    Please recommend the best book(s) in the market or on line tutorials which would help me architect and design a java application using SWING.
    I have used most of the swing components in many small GUI apps I have developed [JTable, JTree, etc, etc ....] and do not need a beginners books [online tutorials at sun site are good for that]. A book tackling advance topics, which may not concentrate on coding but has very good cases to understand the design [both class level and usuablity] and architecture of the application.
    I need to develop an editor for a GUI based language + a code genertor + mapper application [which will run as a application and may use webstart to run from a browser.]
    THANKS !

    I like "Pure JFC Swing" it's got a well written example for each and every Swing component. When I was learning to use swing each component I came across I could easily look at the example for that component and incorporate it into code for my app. That combined with the Javadoc was all I've ever needed.

  • Best design running multiple instances of desktop based java applications b

    Hi,
    I am not sure if this is the right forum...
    Please suggest on what should be the best design for running 10 instances of same desktop based java applications (No Enterprise or Webcomponents) on different machines BUT still using the same database.
    Summary:
    a) Each application will do writes/updates to same database but will run from different locations.
    b) These applications will reside at different locations (example country, city) but same domain, so it will use separate JVM.
    c) How to tell application where it resides and what should be the best way to determine location automatically from the network? (we would like to avoid any property setting as update will require to change this file also), if database is good approach, what should be the best design.
    d) Best way to handle transaction...
    for example, if one component that writes to an Oracle table, then a downstream component reads the new insert from the table. In this case what should be the best practice in the code for transaction awareness, to avoid issues.
    Thanks
    Val

    Oracle runs a transaction control model on a thread--each login. All other threads will not be able to see the data that is updated or inserted until a commit is done. The same thread can, however, see the updated or inserted information as soon as the update or insert takes place a transaction commit is not needed for that to happen and it is not an error--you must do a commit to make the changes to the data visible to other users and persistent. If you do not commit the changes they will rollback once your session is terminated.
    If you turn autocommit on, then each update or insert will automatically commit and be available to all users, but each statement becomes a transaction and you loose the ability to rollback any changes.

  • How to design Java application?

    What are the general guidelines and best practices to keep in mind while designing Java application?
    Hi
    I recently completed Java programming tutorial from Sun and practised core java (I have previous programming experience). Now I understand the basics of Inheritance, Abstraction , Polymorphism,Encapsulation
    Now i am writing Java code without much difficulty, but am not sure of application design. This is my main problem: "DESIGNING" the application. Say if i have given a task to create an application in Java, What should I start up with? How to think about? Any formal/informal guidelines I should follow while developing class hierarchies? I am really confused (abstract class or interface or sub class..?). Should I start by model everything, before writing code?
    It would be very useful for people like me to have a SET OF GENERAL GUIDELINES/BEST PRACTICES, which we can follow while start developing a new java application.
    Please provide me some guidelines/thoughts/books/resources/tools I should read or Use
    Thanks in advance
    Scott

    Not necessarily. While some programmers may be Software Engineers others may not have the knowledge base of someone who has read at least one SE book. An practical example is outsourcing. Typically, the code writing (programming) bit is outsourced with the requirements gathering (an SE task), cost management (project mgmt. or SE task), time management (PM or SE), etc. kept locally.
    Look, I'm not going to reply further because this is going to run on and on and on. To put it into my local patois, "Alz I'm gonna tell youse is ta read da software engineering book, okay?"*

  • Seeking advice with concept / design of a Java Web Services Application

    Hi all,
    After a week of searching the internet I'm not sure how which projects, services, etc. I should use to develop my application. Please could someone offer some advice?
    Application outline (Java application running on Linux):
    1. Wait for an instruction from a Windows WCF application. Instruction contains a list of domain names and one or two other parameters.
    2. Perform queries upon those domain names (find if they are registered, etc. - takes 10-20 mins to do complete list)
    3. Send back results to WCF application.
    Solution 1 (first idea):
    1. Create SOAP web service using Java Web Services / Apache to listen for requests. Executes a Java Client Application upon request.
    2. Java Client Application performs the queries...
    3. Java Client Application sends results to the Windows web service.
    Solution 1 Problems:
    a) Using 2 applications, they won't be able to share the same memory.
    b) The whole process will be slow (having to pass the domain names from the service to application and execute the application each time) - A quick response is critical.
    c) Would like is for the whole process to be done under one application, sharing the same memory.
    Solution 2:
    1. Create a Java Daemon from scratch listening for an incoming SOAP message (no web service like Apache/Tomcat involved).
    2. Query the domain names in a new thread inside the Java Daemon
    3. Send the results back via SOAP.
    Solution 2 Problems:
    Cannot find examples of how to create a SOAP service from scratch. E.g. creating a WSDL file based on my application; converting application methods to SOAP-callable methods easily (without writing a framework).
    With all the Java tools and projects out there - Java EE, Glassfish Project - there must be a very easy way to achieve this seemingly simple task. Please can someone offer some advice?
    Many thanks for reading this.

    You just need an app server like Tomcat.If I'm not wrong, Tomcat is a Servlet container.
    Servlets aren't deactivated when they don't receive
    any request for some time?
    How can I deploy an application to Tomcat in order to
    keep it always active?I don't know what you mean. Tomcat is an application that is always running. In what way are the Servlets deactivated?
    Apache Axis: http://ws.apache.org/axis/
    Yes I'm collecting some info about this... let's see
    it!
    Finally, to be more clearer... I don't want to start
    a new application at each invocation (something like
    getting the request, instantiating the necessary
    classes and executing them) but to call an already
    running app at each invocation (so, getting request
    and invoking, in a manner that I don't know, the
    running application).The container manages this. If you have data that must remain loaded, you can associate it with the class (use a static modifier.) This will complicate threading, however.
    I can use Axis to get the request, but it also grants
    me that my app will always be active?I think you are just using the wrong terminology here. What I think you are asking is whether the resources will be loded into memory at all times. If you want to ensure this behavior, you need to associate the data with a class. I'm not 100% positive, but I don't think Tomcat will unload classes in normal circumstances.

  • Cannot launch my java application

    Hi All. I have made a Java application using NetBeans.
    The application, with NetBeans works fine. It imports many jasperreports classes included in my project by setting in the project properties the Compiling source to the various jar archives:
    jasperreports.jar
    common-digester-1.7.jar
    common-collections-2.1.jar
    common-logging-1.0.2.jar
    common-beanutils-1.5.jar
    When I launch with NB it works as I designed it.
    And now comes the problem.
    With NB I build the project and it builds my PrintReport.jar.
    As I try to launch it with
    - java -jar PrintReport.jar
    it prompts this error:
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: net/sf/jasperreports/engine/JRDataSource at printreport.PrintReport.main(PrintReport.java:45)
    that line is exactly where I create the instance of the class containing all JasperReports refs.
    Can anyone help me launch it correctly from command line?
    Thanks, Angyel

    installed chinese language support.
    tried to access 9i database from isql*plus and stored & viewed chinese characters sucessfully.
    tried to store a chinese character from java application in the client odb -- failed.
    values are getting inserted from the application but when i view them back it shows & # 2 6 0 8 5 ; (i have included a space in between all 8 characters.
    but when i copy this no and paste in msword it shows 日(chinese character)
    i dont know the exact reason for the above scenerio...................
    Also please help me on this too.......
    why can i store & view chinese characters sucessfully in isql*plus from the client machine while i cannot do the same on client odb from java application even though the lite config are done to support utf8?
    is anything i left out?
    should i do any codes changes in java?(java application is of verision jdk1.4_13)

  • How to let users run your Java application

    Hello,
    I'm writing an application using JBuilder7 and it's wonderful designer: so far it is composed by only 2 class and imports java.awt.* and javax.swing.* (SDK 1.4)
    Now, I've yet to finish it but I was wondering: "how will users be able to use it?"
    I don't want them to install 30+ Mb of SDK so I've looked into the forums and elsewhere and come up with several answers:
    1) Let them install JRE: but it's 10+ Mb and they would need to download it separately from my program.
    2) Let them use somehow their browser's JVM..(should I turn my application into applet for this? I guess so)
    3) Make an .exe: I know there are many programs to make .exe from java but they would make a one-platform-based file.
    Also there were many hints about using .jar files to get things easier.
    Is there a 4th option in which users have to download only a few mbs to use the application?
    And about .jar, how should I use it?
    Thank you very much for all your help :)

    Simply put - the users must download or be supplied the JRE. This must be installed before they can execute your java application.
    As to distributing the application itself - You can jar (Java Archive) your classes into a single file.
    You could as has been suggested create an EXE, but these generally are very large and tend to severely restrict the range of java technologies able to be used (EG Serialization, RMI, Reflection, class loading, ...)
    Java is not intended for little tools that get installed separately - It is intended for larger applications or small applets in which case the download of the JRE is a minor concern.
    Note that applets targeting Java 1.1.7 functionality work fine with most old browsers inbuilt JVMs - Your customers browser may not however have an inbuilt JVM and the user will still need to download the JRE to execute a SWING based applets.

  • How to get Portal user from a standalone Java application

    Hi,
    I have a standalone Java application from where I need to fetch the Portal User Information like userid and email id.
    I am using the below line of code
    iUser = UMFactory.getUserFactory().getUserByLogonID("e017939");
    I have included the jar file com.sap.security.api , But it was giving me the below exception
    java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sap/tc/logging/Location

         at com.am.ScheduleEmails.main(ScheduleEmails.java:89)
    and I am getting a pop Up message from the Java Virtual Machine Launcher, saying a Fatal Exception has occured and the Program will exit.
    Then I went throught he SDN threads and they asked me to include the
    logging.jar and com.sap.security.perm.api .
    I Included them, then also, it is giving me Exception
    java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sap/engine/lib/logging/LoggingHelper

    and I am getting a pop Up message from the Java Virtual Machine Launcher, saying a Fatal Exception has occured and the Program will exit.
    Kindly let me know if it is possible to access the User info using UMFactory in a standalone Java application. If yes kindly let me know where i am going wrong.
    Regards,
    Shilpa B.V

    Hi Shilpa,
    1. Check that you have added com.sap.security.api within the Your Project>Libraries folder (under navigation tab) and also added jars in the build path of the Your Project under project>properties>Build Path.
    2. In case you have a DC instead of Web Dynpro Project then you have to add the com.sap.security.api under Your DC>Used DCs and have compile time and runtime dependency added.
    Here java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError is caused basically due to only build time dependency added and reference to the jar missing at runtime. Rest the code to retrieve the current user id using UME API and getUserByLogOnID("....") method with/without portal environment would not be an issue at all.
    Regards,
    Tushar SInha

    }This application works with JFrame, but I want to display the JFrame in a webapplication (JSP Page).
    I'm using Netbeans 6.0 (GlassFish) to create webapplication using Visual Web JavaServer Faces.
    So in summary:
    How can i display the drag and drop application into a JFrame (better in a JPanel) in a webapplication (index.jsp)??
    Hope you can help...
    Thanks in advance...
    Greetings,
    Rajsh

    So have an applet that opens a JFrame... JSP or not has nothing to do with it, since it's nothing but HTML the client gets.
    You can't have a JFrame embedded in an HTML page. And if you could have an applet but don't know how to get that copied code to fit inside (I mean, content pane is content pane), you might want to consider learning how to do that.

  • Java application with classes to Applet?

    Hello,
    First, I'm a Java junior, but I can make efforts to analyse and understand code.
    I saw an interesting open-source multiplayer poker java application: [JiBi's Hold'Em|http://sourceforge.net/projects/jibisholdem/]
    I would like to try to add it as an Applet on my server, but I have some questions.
    1- Do you think it is possible to make it fully works as an Applet (eg: through a proxy), as it seems to use a specific protocol and many classes?
    2- I tried the idea of GumB: http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=390846&start=13&tstart=0
    with getContentPane().add( new javaApp().getContentPane()but I have the following error message:
    I also tried with imports (import holdem.core.Card;etc) and with HoldEmClientGUI().getContentPane() or holdem.gui.HoldEmClientGUI().getContentPane()
    D:\JiBisHoldem\src\holdem\gui\HoldEmApp.java:7: cannot find symbol
    symbol  : class HoldEmClientGUI
    location: class HoldEmApp
            getContentPane().add( new HoldEmClientGUI().getContentPane() );
                                      ^
    1 errorAm I close or really far from a working result?
    Thanks
    John.

    The above way seems to have the same result as getContentPane().add( new javaApp().getContentPane().

    Regards,

    I have already tried this before and this not work too, but strange that even if I use JDBC:ODBC bridge driver, the return value for output parameters are not correct, that is, only return the value that I input but not the value after executed in the procedure....
    The code that I used with JDBC:ODBC bridge is as follow:
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    String url = "jdbc:odbc:;DRIVER=SQL Server;Persist Security Info=False;database=db;Server=sql;uid=sa;pwd=pwd";
              Connection con;
              ResultSet rs = null;
    CallableStatement callS = null;
              try {
                   Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
              } catch(java.lang.ClassNotFoundException e) {
                   System.err.print("ClassNotFoundException: ");
                   System.err.println(e.getMessage());
              try {
                   con=DriverManager.getConnection(url);
    callS = con.prepareCall("{ call dbo.CpJavaTest (?)}");
    callS.registerOutParameter(1, Types.INTEGER);
    callS.execute();
    rs=callS.getResultSet();
    int ret = callS.getInt(1);
    System.out.println("return value : " + ret);
                   while (rs.next()) {
                        String f1 = rs.getString(4);
                        String f2 = rs.getString(5);
                        System.out.println(f1 + " " + f2);
              } catch(SQLException ex) {
                   System.out.println("SQLException: " + ex.getMessage());
    The value of the output parameter is same as what I inputed! Hope any one can teach me how to correct it...
    Thank you very much!
