Anybody coded a large product suite using Swing?

Does anybody know of a person or company that has coded a large product suite (hundreds of programs) using Swing components -- whether as applets or as Java Webstart applications?
We are considering doing that and would be interested in feedback from those who have gone before us.
In our case, we're talking about financial, payroll, human resource, warehousing, student management, and other applications for school districts.
Thanks.

Do you have any advice?
We are considering the use of:
* Swing only
* HTML / Javascript only
* Swing for some heavyweight apps, HTML / Javascript for lightweight apps
Is Swing productive for doing many, many separate database apps that fall under the same system (product suite)?
What are strengths/weaknesses?
Is it difficult to change a Swing app's UI after it has been initially done? Such as the addition of new components or the re-arranging of components and adding new panels/components?
Does it seem possible to productively write a bunch of swing apps without purchasing some vendor's framework product?
Because of issues with browser types, DOM and Javascript compatibility, etc., do you think Swing development is the lower cost way of doing it as compared to the HTML / Javascript approach? (We need to run in Netscape, IE, and Safari -- or outside of the browser altogether.)
Any general comments/advice?
Thanks.

Hi is there any way around showing large product lay out through separate template from Over all layout?

Hi, I have been thinking why everything except for the small product back up is tied up to the over all layouts template. Could any one give me advice on some ways I could display my large product page using a different template?
Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thank you very much

Only with javascript and CSS and of a new template per catalog.

Limited characters in textarea using swings

Hi,
i have one text area that is created using swings technologies now this text area need to allow only 30 characters perline and limit of the text area is maxmium of 500 characters.
i have done some coding but it breaks whenever the copy/paste happens(i.e it allowing more than 30 characters perline).Can anybody provide the solution ASAP.
Thanks in advance

1. This question should go into the swing forum.
2. Write your own TextArea (extends JTextArea). In this class get the document with
AbstractDocument doc = (AbstractDocument)this.getDocument();Then write your own Document filter (extends DocumentFilter) and set this filter to the document
doc.setDocumentFilter(filter)In the filter you have full control over of what is inserted in your text area.

360 degrees product rotate using an flv file

Does anybody know of any action script that plays an .flv
file in flash, with a slider bar that will play the
video forwards and backwards?
Basically I want to create a 360 product spin using an flv
instead of a jpeg sequence as I believe it is faster.
Something similar to this:

If I may, just my 2 Malaysia's Cents.
I don't think scrubbing through video will be more efficient
than timeline based
images sequence. Video will likely be larger is size and
lower quality compared
to what you could do with images sequence. With images you
can as well control
the export compression to fine tune quality versus file size.
With video, you will
have to do multiple rendering. More time consuming
Also, it has much to do with action script itself as well as
number of frames used
for the 360. Take for example my MINI Cooper S:
http://flashfugitive.com/stuff/360/car/mini.html
Much smoother and smaller than the link above, you can also
drag it and throw.
* MINI - 530kb
* yofla.com 3d-rotate - 1.5mb

[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.

Loading large files in Java Swing GUI

Hello Everyone!
I am trying to load large files(more then 70 MB of xml text) in a Java Swing GUI. I tried several approaches,
1)Byte based loading whith a loop similar to
pane.setText("");
             InputStream file_reader = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream
                       (file));
             int BUFFER_SIZE = 4096;
             byte[] buffer = new byte[BUFFER_SIZE];
             int bytesRead;
             String line;
             while ((bytesRead = file_reader.read(buffer, 0, BUFFER_SIZE)) != -1)
                  line = new String(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
                  pane.append(line);
             }But this is gives me unacceptable response times for large files and runs out of Java Heap memory.
2) I read in several places that I could load only small chunks of the file at a time and when the user scrolls upwards or downwards the next/previous chunk is loaded , to achieve this I am guessing extensive manipulation for the ScrollBar in the JScrollPane will be needed or adding an external JScrollBar perhaps? Can anyone provide sample code for that approach? (Putting in mind that I am writting code for an editor so I will be needing to interact via clicks and mouse wheel roatation and keyboard buttons and so on...)
If anyone can help me, post sample code or point me to useful links that deal with this issue or with writting code for editors in general I would be very grateful.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I'm replying to your question from another thread.
To handle large files I used the new IO libary. I'm trying to remember off the top of my head but the classes involved were the RandomAccessFile, FileChannel and MappedByteBuffer. The MappedByteBuffer was the best way for me to read and write to the file.
When opening the file I had to scan through the contents of the file using a swing worker thread and progress monitor. Whilst doing this I indexed the file into managable chunks. I also created a cache to further optimise file access.
In all it worked really well and I was suprised by the performance of the new IO libraries. I remember loading 1GB files and whilst having to wait a few seconds to perform the indexing you wouldn't know that the data for the JList was being retrieved from a file whilst the application was running.
Good Luck,
Martin.

Adding facebook comments to large product page

hi guys I just wanted to go over the facebook intergration process *** ive read this http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/kb/add-social-media.html
but couldnt find the container.html page in admin, only dreamweaver.
plus when ive checked out the forums on intergrating facebook comments there seems a work around because the current module doesnt work the way people want it. to.
Is this still the case or should I go about intergrating facebook as described http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/kb/add-social-media.html
What I want to do is use it on this site on the large product section instead of the comments module ive inserted
http://www.ceramicplanet.co.uk/bathroom-tiles/relief-white-5445-25x33cm
would adding the script to the large product template manually work better than adding it to the facebook container.html page in the social modules folder?
plus I got the impression peeps had trouble having the comments for that one item showing just on its own page. I want just comments for the product on show appearing on that product page not just any old list of random comments. Is this easy to do now or is there extra url tags needed?
any advice or help will be greatly appreciated
Dave
oh just to say this is the code facebook gave out when I pressed get code but Ive noticed different versions on forum pages, is it right to use this
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_GB/all.js#xfbml=1";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>
<div class="fb-comments" data-href="http://example.com/comments"
data-colorscheme="The color scheme used in the plugin" data-numposts="5"
data-width="420"></div>

If you just want to keep it simple, Facebook has a social widget system that works from the URL, as long as the URL stays the same the comments will he there for that product or whatever you need.
It is very easy to implment and even has a wizard to help you config the size and look.

Will the CS5.5 Production Suite Run on Mavericks?

I've looked around the internet for this, and results are hard to find and not really clear. I need to know if the CS5.5 Production Suite will run on OS X 10.9. It's essential that a number of these are compatible, the ones I use the most often:
Illustrator CS 5.1
Photoshop CS 5.1
After Effects CS 5.5
Premiere CS 5.5
Audition CS 5.5
I've heard something that Photoshop can run if the user installs some previous version of Java, but I'm not sure how true that is. Anything else about the specific ones listed above? Anyone get the 5.5 versions to work under Mavericks?
I'm being forced to upgrade to 10.9 because I need to upgrade from Cubase 5 to 7.5- which unfortunately, is not compatible with Snow Leopard (10.6.8), which is what I'm currently running. If I can't run CS5.5, then I guess I'll be forced to spend another 400 bucks on an upgrade to CS6. I'm a student in college, so I can't readily afford that, and I can't afford to lose access to this software either.

If there was a definitive answer to this, you would have found it. Sorry, but you will just have to muddle through. The results are so unclear and even contradictory because everyone's upgrade path is different, they use different Macs and all that... You won't know if it works until you try.

(see FCP X)..
good luck with apple dude..
Where is the Apple problem? I have CS4 and CS5 running perfectly fine on my Macbook Pro. Installed 5 after Lion upgrade. Worth every cent. Adobe did have some catching up to do with Lion but with the CS5.5 update all runs fine. But not yours. So it is a problem with the Lion OS? You say you have been with Adobe since 2005. So you would be aware of all the other issues that Adobe had catching up with past Oss in Mac and Windows then. They get it right, but it is up to them. It is not up to Apple, nor Microsoft for that matter, to run around and check that every software developer in the world is running their business properly.
And what has politics got to do with anything. Some people just have to blame Software for their poor Hardware maintainence of failure of the same.

Great suggestion. You should go with that one, but good luck getting a refund.

How to use Swing in a web Application

Can you suggest me some good PDF/tutorial or some good site for reading about using SWING in a Web Application.
In our web application we plan to use JSP/Struts for the presentation layer. However there are a few screens that require some advanced UI like color coded assets and a graphical version of Outstanding Vs Available limit. We are wondering whether we should use SWING for these screens. Do you think this is a good idea or is there a better apprach to deal with this
What are the disadvantages of using SWING VS JSP/Servlet in a Web environment. Is there a site or pdf where i can get information about this.

I'd say the biggest disadvantage is that your client machines have to download and install the bloody java plug in.
What you write about your UI ain't half vague. What the deuce is a "color coded asset"? Is it
interactive? If not, could it be represented by an image? If so, even if it is a non-static image, it is a simple
matter for your webapp to generate the image on the fly. Many web app tutorials demonstrate that.

Applet/HTML page combinations are used often when a portion of a page requires Swing/AWT capabilities, e.g. administration consoles for Weblogic and JBoss are designed this way. The page is typically divided with frames that contain either applet or HTML code.

Once attribute price selected, updating the price on the large product layout?

For my e-commerce site I need to setup, when a customer picks an attribute (such as 'Custom Artwork +£5.00') The price on the large product layout updates automatically before proceeding to the Shopping Cart for the price to update.
Is this achievable?

Hi Paul,
In case you still in need, (assuming you are using the attribute to pass the information to the cart) you can adjust the displayed price to reflect the selected option.
--not sure if this is the right way.. however it works.

What's the best sytem to run CS2 production suite?

I'm stuck with using my old windows CS2 Production Suite but need a to build new computer. I'll be manily using Premier, AE, Photo shop and Illustrator builing small aniamtions and short films... and will need lots of rendering power. I know there are limitations based on the fact that I have to have the O/S windows XP Pro but I want give it as much speed, RAM, memory etc as I can.
Should I go with a dual processor or a quad?

Why are you stuck with CS2? A new machine with Vista 64 (why not wait til October and go for Win7?) and a boatload of RAM will sceam above anything you can do with XP and CS2 (which is totally unsupported under Vista).
