point me in the right direction or tell me the basic
layout of a text editor?A text editor consists of three parts. User command interaction, text screen presentation and text data handling. Start with a small Java application with a GUI and check out the different Swing components and how they work. Internally the text can be held in a double-linked list where each blocks have space for 1000 characters or so. You'll also need some file handling to store the text externally.

  • Message split on adapter engine for the java based IDoc adapter

    Hi Guys,
    Do you know if message split on adapter engine is available for the java based IDoc adapter on the single stack (PI 7.31)?
    I'm getting such exception when I try to post 3 IDocs
    Transmitting the message to endpoint <local> using connection File_http://sap.com/xi/XI/System failed, due to: com.sap.aii.af.idoc.exception.IDOCAdapterException: Error before sending due to idoc parsing error: (7) IDOC_ERROR_PARSE_FAILURE: Invalid XML 1.0 character encountered within IDocXML for type <ns0:Messages>:

    Mapping is one to many.
    Each IDoc content has been compared manually against the xsd schema and it was fine.  
    I know that old way of modifying xsd is still possible.
    Best regards,

    Did you find a solution to this? Having a similar error right now.
    Thanks and kind regards

  • Looking for a java-based SDK that handles file conversion to PDF and TIF...

    Hi all,
    First off, this is my first posting so I'm not 100% sure where to post this topic. So please forgive me if I'm accidentally posting in the wrong location.
    My question deals with a project I am currently working on.
    I am looking for a java-based SDK that can meet the following requirements...
    1) convert all printable file-formats (i.e. JPEG, DOC, TXT, PPT, etc.) into PDF
    2) merge multiple PDFs into one PDF
    3) convert PDF to TIF or at least do some sort of conversion to TIF
    4) works in Java or some sort of web-based language
    5) free or relatively cheap
    Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you very much.

    I don't think you will get one API to do them all.
    Some helpful hints:

  • Searching for a good programming text editor

    Does there exist a text editor for Linux that has got these features?
    -can open multiple documents
    -can easily switch to any open document, e.g. by just clicking the document in a list or tree on the left (tabs alone won't do because there's not enough space to slow 20+ documents if there are only tabs)
    -has a built in command prompt to type compile and debugging commands, which is by default in the folder where your documents are, if all documents are in the same folder at least, otherwise it doesn't really matter to me
    -can save sessions, projects, ..., which basically is a way to quickly open your multiple documents belonging to a certain project
    -has a super cool search function with options like "whole word" and "case sensitive" clearly visible in the search dialog, and remembering these settings for any open document you search in
    -can easily search through all open documents (e.g. like visual studio can)
    -has the type of text editing GUI where you can use the mouse to select text, use ctrl+a to select all, use ctrl+c/ctrl+v to copy paste, home/end to navigate the cursor to begin/end of line, F3 to search for next match, etc... (so no vi derivates I'm afraid)
    -has modern interface, menus, file save/open dialogs, etc..., not something that appears to come from 1995 (so I think emacs is out of the question)
    What I'm looking for is similar to Kate 3.5 or parts of MS Visual Studio. However Kate 4.1 isn't suitable anymore because they destroyed the search function of it. And preferably something that is independent of a desktop, because it's sad that Kate's features can get ruined by people who develop a desktop.
    Does anyone have ideas if there exists such a program?

    Look good, but ONE thing: I found that F8 "Output" opens a screen that has some properties of a linux terminal except some weird "Exit code:1" messages. However, if I press the "up" arrow, it doesn't scroll through the console history but instead moves a cursor up. I need it to work like a linux terminal with history because I don't want to retype long commands all the time. It also doesn't show the correct type and color of my user prompt. Is there any way to get a more conventional console in the Scite window somewhere?
    Also, scite's interface also looks a bit 1995
    EDIT: oh hmmm and it appears to not be able to open more than 10 files. That's too limited I'm afraid
    Shame, it almost looked like what I needed.

    I think javafx not contains such component yet, but you can try to use editor written with standard java. You can use standard java components and packages in your javafx projects.

  • Applet based Text Editor

    Hi Genies
    How can i create a Text Editor without using TextArea? I would like to use only AWT not Swing or Java 2. Any Idea ?
    Shan

    The AWT tools are woefully inadequete for creating a text editor. The AWT textarea does not support fonts, colors, custom line wrapping, line numbers, or anything else that would make a good text editor.
    You could do it as an applet, but you would have to create your own text display by subclassing Canvas and writing text to specific locations. You would also have to write your own scrollbar, toolbar, button class that supports icons, etc.
    It is usually just easier to make sure that people have swing installed. If you use a later version of Java, you can also do Java WebStart which will allow you to open and save files on the hard drive if the user chooses them. You can't do that easily with applets (requires signing your applet for $200 per year).
    If you end up writing a text editor, I would suggest putting my syntax highlighting libraries into it:

  • FRM-40209 Field must be of form . - for a non-based text item

    Hello,
    When I try querying using a VARCHAR2 non-based text item in a table-based block, setting dynamically in PRE-QUERY trigger the DEFAULT_WHERE property for its block, in case I use characters &gt; or &lt; (for bringing values greater or smaller than the one in the field, as in a standard Oracle query) error message is raised: 'FRM-40209 Field must be of form .' The issue has nothing to do with the error itself (usually related to erronated format mask of the field), and it is known as an Oracle Forms bug: I found it as bug 851153 - which appears on execute query if you enter in a non-base-table-item and the block has a pre-query trigger. The bug has been solved later in Oracle Developer Forms Builder 6i, or so I've been reading, problem is the application I'm working to requires Forms Builder 6.0.5.
    I am trying to find an workaround for this situation and these are the info I managed to discover myself on the topic:
    - if I fill the field with '&gt;value instead of &gt;value, query works fine, bringing only values greater than the specified value. (So far, this and inactivating the FRM-40209 error in ON-ERROR trigger seems like the best I can do)
    - if I only use &gt; (without '), I cannot use an auxiliar variable/global in which to store the actual value written in the field, I also cannot print the value in a message, because trying to use the exact string, it is shown as null (even though when the error is raised, value is still shown on the screen in the text item).
    Maybe someone could help with an idea for an workaround in order to copy the content of the text field before it actually becomes null&hellip;
    Thank you in advance.

    I have already tried that... but for some reasons the field already appears as null, when I try to use it.

  • How to include a .desktop file for a Java-based PKGBUILD?

    I've tried searching a for a while and can't seem to get anywhere with such generic search terms, but I was wondering what would be the proper way to include a .desktop file and possibly an icon for a PKGBUILD that is just a Java-based program?  I think it would be a lot more user-friendly for people if I could add  the program to their menu when they install it.
    As things are right now, the PKGBUILD just creates an executable script in <code>/usr/bin/</code> that runs the jar file with the proper classpath (as per the Java Packaging Guidelines), and there is nothing to actually make/compile (thus no .desktop file directly from the author).  The package I plan on adding these features to is jGnash in the AUR if you want to take a look.  Thanks!

  • JHS setting for the Display Type of Rich Text Editor

    In the "Display Type" settings for an item, there is no option in the JHS Definition Editor to choose a "Rich Text Editor" type. Is that intentional or an oversight?
    Thanks,
    Gary

    Gary,
    don't know why it's left out, but you can implement a rich text editor with a custom template (that's the answer I got when I asked the question several months ago). Here's the template code I use for implementing a rich text editor in a table:
    #macro (EDITOR_POPUP)
    <af:popup id="${JHS.current.item.bindingName}Popup" contentDelivery="lazyUncached" eventContext="launcher">
    <af:dialog modal="true" resize="on" title="#TEXT_EDITOR_TITLE()" id="${JHS.current.item.bindingName}Dialog">
    <af:richTextEditor rows="10" columns="100" #ITEM_VALUE_IN_FORM()
    simple="true" id="${JHS.current.item.bindingName}EditorText"/>
    </af:dialog>
    </af:popup>
    #end
    #set ($popupId = ${JHS.page.addPopup("${JHS.current.item.bindingName}Popup","${JHS.engine.fullNamingContainerPath}","#EDITOR_POPUP()")})
    #set ($popupDialogId = ${popupId.replaceAll("Popup","Dialog")})
    <af:panelLabelAndMessage #ITEM_RENDERED_IN_TABLE() #ITEM_PARTIAL_TRIGGERS() #ITEM_HINT()>
    <af:richTextEditor #ITEM_ID_IN_TABLE() #ITEM_VALUE_IN_TABLE() #ITEM_PROMPT_IN_TABLE()
    #ITEM_REQUIRED_IN_TABLE() #ITEM_ROWS() #ITEM_COLUMNS()
    #ITEM_READ_ONLY_IN_TABLE() #ITEM_ADDITIONAL_PROPERTIES()
    #ITEM_DISABLED_IN_TABLE() #DEPENDS_ON_ITEM_PROPS_TABLE()
    simple="true" partialTriggers="${JHS.current.item.bindingName}EditorLink ${popupDialogId}">
    #REGULAR_EXPRESSION_VALIDATOR()
    #VALIDATOR_BINDING_IN_TABLE()
    #NUMBER_CONVERTER()
    </af:richTextEditor>
    <af:commandLink id="${JHS.current.item.bindingName}EditorLink"
