Best Java/JSP IDE

I am really new to Java and would like opinions on the best "FREE" IDE to use.
Please let me know what your favorite IDE is and why. Note that my only constraint is that it is a FREE IDE because my organization will not let me spend money on an IDE.
Thanks.
James

I've been using IntelliJ Idea for quite some time - and by far this is the best IDE i've used. It's not free however.
About free ones: I've been using JCreator for a while. It has nice features that simplify coding: (taken from the website)
Pop-up code completion.
Pop-up code snippets.
Pop-up code identifier.
Source code navigation.
Integration of the Javadocs.
Debugger Interface.
Custom document types.
Class Wizard.
Interface Implementation tool.
And more.. "
You can also use Sun's own SunONE studio. It's pretty good, although I found it slow.

Best Java IDE fo Linux

what is the best Java IDE for linux system

I use on three different projects three different IDEs: JBuilder, Eclipse and IntelliJ. I personally prefer IntelliJ, although Eclipse and JBuilder are very good products as well. If you need absolute stability, Eclipse is maybe a little bit early in development, on the other hand it is free and open source. Additionally it "feels" a little bit faster on Linux, because it does not use Swing but SWT which utilizes native controls.

BEST Java IDE/RAD tool

What is the best Java IDE for the price? I don't currently do a lot with Enterprise Java Beans and such ... but 1 thing I really need is to speed up GUI development for Java apps.
Any ideas?

Free:
netbeans.org
eclipse.org (my current favorite)
Both have a ton of features, including CVS integration.

The best Java compile platform

Anybody can provide the best Java platform specification?
I am thinking an IBM compatible PC which can compile big java file in the very fast speed. This compile platform must be able to save much time of programming. But what kind of CPU, RAM, OS can make this ture? If you are experienced this, please provide your excellent ideas, thanks a lot~!
CPU
RAM
OS
Compile Software
Let's speed up~!

Big Java files aren't as common as you would think. Any file which gets too big should be split into smaller ones. :-)
But anyway .. the machine I use at work is a P3-450 with 256Mb RAM, running Windows 2000. My IDE is IntelliJ IDEA, set up with IBM's Jikes compiler.
At home, I use a P2-300 with 64Mb RAM, running Linux, also with Jikes .. which runs slower than the first setup (no surprises there.) I also have a Celeron 600@900 with 384Mb RAM, running a beta of Windows XP, set up like the work system with IDEA and Jikes .. which is the fastest of the lot ..
.. but even though the third system is the fastest, I'd say you only need about a P3-450 to run Java compilation fast enough to use .. especially when you have Jikes as the compiler, which can speed up compilation of things like JSP 10-fold. The RAM is important for running, though, as the JVMs can be a memory hog (particularly when you use a fat, memory-intensive IDE like IDEA.)

New To java/JSP

I am new to JAVA/JSP. I downloaded and installed tomcat. When I try to start it I am getting an error. (java.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.) It will not start. I am running on Windows-xp. Anyone has any ideas as to what the problem could be ? Do I need to do anything special for Windows-xp ?
Thanks for your help.
- Madan

Your description is not very detailed but I'm using Tomcat quite well to run my JSP/Beans stuff which I'm progressing in learning.
Tomcat is actually "jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18", and to start the server I use d:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18\bin\startup.bat
You need to set up various classpath and directory info in setclasspath.bat
Assuming you then get the thing started, to test it out, go to
http://localhost:8080/index.jsp (unless you changed 'localhost')
Please post more questions if you want - I'm sure someone can help.

Tracking a separate Thread - java/jsp/struts

Hi all,
My project is a webapplication using java/jsp/struts. My requirement is to write bulk data to a file, which i want to run as a separate thread. Since it runs as a separate thread the control comes back to UI (userInterface) page. On subsequent request from UI page by the user i want to check whether the thread process is completed or not , so that i can read from the file. Is it possible to simultaneously read from the file when the thread is in the process of writing data to the file. If so any idea on how to implement this functionality in java?
How to keep track of the separate thread (whether it is completed or not) in java?
Is it possible to read from the file when the thread is writing to the file in java?
Thanks is advance.

As you're already asking this trival question, I highly recommend you to read the Concurrency Tutorial here at Sun.com. Google can find it.
Is it possible to read from the file when the thread is writing to the file in java?Not with java.io. You can use the java.nio API for that. You can also read/write it in memory (as a byte[] or a ByteArrayInputStream/OutputStream property) and if it is finished then write it to disk.

Hi,
The newest and default version of Eclipse is Galileo which is version 3.5.x
According to the Widget development guide, widget developer tool covers Eclipse 3.3.x (Europa) and 3.4.x (Galileo).
The problem is solved by downloading one of those versions from http://wiki.eclipse.org/Older_Versions_Of_Eclipse and installing widget development tools.

Are you actually closing the connections, resultsets in all cases?
From what you've posted you call
rs_admins.close();but in that method, you propagate any exceptions that occur out to the caller method, which in turn just prints a stack trace.
So if an exception occurs before you call the rs_admin.close() the result set will never be closed as the statement won't be reached.
I'd add a speific exception handling routine to the admin_getAdmins() method and include a finally clause to close the result set in all cases. You can still onthrow the exception if you want.

Java-JSP working with packages and classes

Hi everybody,
I'm bearly new on Java-JSP developping and I wanted to know how Tomcat (for example) manage the imported packages and classes.
The fact is I'm working on a project ('/bob') which use some packages that I don't see in the '/bob' directory. So, is that possible that '/bob' is downloading packages and classes from Internet to '/bob/download' virtual repertory and use it? If it is true, is it possible to override this download by making '/bob' project using local packages or classes (example : com.boblibrary.classes.util in '/bob/WEB-INF/classes/com/boblibrary/classes/util') instead of downloading it?
Therefore, the '/bob' project is using bugged classes (that I think it downloads from Internet) which I can't correct.
Thanks for your help.
- Renaud

Thank you for your answer, but I can't imagine where is physicaly the class that my project use and show me as http://localhost:8080/atlassian-jira-3.13.2/download/ressources/br.com.ecore.jira.plugin.projectViewPlugin:ProjectViewTabPanel/js/projectviewtabpanel.js. Where is that Javascript file suppose to be on my hard drive? Or where is that class 'br.com.ecore.jira.plugin.projectViewPlugin' suppose to be on my hard drive? If it is not dowloaded from the Internet.
I have no trace of that class on 'atlassian-jira-3.13.2/', neither on 'jdk1.6.0_18/', 'jre6/' or 'apache-tomcat-5.5.28/common/classes/'.
Thanks.

OSB WSDL invocation from java /jsp client!

Hi ,
I did a sample work on invoking osb wsdl(based on DB adapter) from a java/jsp application.It worked fine!
Its a simple select query wth parameter that was configured in my DB adapter.
Below are the steps I follow -
a.Created a DB adapter for collective response
b.created BS out of jca
c.Generated PS based on above BS.
d.Performed some xquery tranformation in PS message flow response piepeline.
e.Exported WSDL and tested it in SOAP UI ,getting the transformed response as required.
When we generate Java client out of above WSDL in Eclipse ,it generates client for DB data,transformed data fields are not seen -How to obtain transformed data too through Java client?will this work ?
Is it gud practice to generate java client directly n Eclipse (OEPE) or do we have any other alternative ways to generate Java client out of OSB WSDL?
Please assist.
Thanks,
Ani

Hi Anuj-
My proxy was generated out of business ,i get 2 wsdl like master-child .Master wsdl holds referecnce to child wsdl.I hope wsdl generation is fine.
When i invoke the proxy wsdl url from Java client ,i get below error -

Customization of Java/JSP/DHTML

Hi All,
I would like to know whether Oracle has laid any standards for the Customization of Self Service modules(all java,jsp,java script,DHTML).
How do you guys recommend to do it? Normally what we do is copy the files to be customized and customize them and place it back and keep a back up of all files we customize.But my question in this case is,What if we upgrade to 12i in future ..which would be a major upgrade.So I guess if we place these customized files in the normal OA_JAVA and OA_HTML and OA_MEDIA all these files will be replaced by the standard oracle files during a major upgrade like this.Is there any way to keep the customized files un touched?
One alternate approach which I have is to create a CUSTOM_TOP in the server and keep all the customized files in that?
Thanks in advance !! Any suggestions are appretiated !!

Oracle Text and Java (jsp)

Hi,
I stored files( pdf,word) in blob column. I created index (INSO_FILTER) and i would like to query the files.
String sword="test";
String query = "Select COMPID,CREATED,NAME,CVNUMBER from COMPANYCV" + " where contains(CV,' "+sword+" ') > 0 " ;
System.out.println(query);
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
works fine i get the compid,date,number and filename of the stored file in the blob column. This info is displayed als a link(url). ie. <A HREF="ShowCv.jsp?NAME=doc1.pdf...... So when the user clicks on it, the appropriate program opens (word,acrobat reader) and the content of the file is shown.
But i also want to know how many times the word test" is found in each of the documents? How can i do this in java (jsp)?
And i want to highlight to word that is searched for in the document? Any help on doing this ( examples)? The doc should open in the browswer( html -version) and words
should be highlighted.
plz help!
ps.
if i use:
select score(1),NAME,COMPID from COMPANYCV where contains(CV, 'BLOB',1 ) > 0 order by score(1) desc
i get:
100,Test2.doc,4
39,Test1.doc,5
the score is 39 with Test1.doc! But the word blob is not present in that document. What does the "score" realy mean?
thx

ok so far so good. Here is what i did;
filter-> html
I created a table filterresult:
query_id number
document clob
in sql:
begin
ctx_doc.filter('cvindex', 30, 'filterresult',0,FALSE);
end;
so now the word document with pk=30 is stored in de blob column as html.
in my jsp i call:
String sql= "SELECT DOCUMENT FROM FILTERRESULT WHERE QUERY_ID=0";
//System.out.println(sql);
rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
while(rs.next()){
clob=((OracleResultSet)rs).getCLOB(1);
is=clob.getAsciiStream();
int pos=0;
int length=0;
byte[] b = new byte[clob.getChunkSize()];
while((length=is.read(b))!= -1){
pos+=length;
os.write(b);
and the word document shows up in html in my browser!
I created another table:
table highlightresults(
query_id number
offset number
length number
highlight->
in sql:
begin
ctx_doc.highlight('cvindex', 30, 'steven','highlightresults');
end;
i want to highlight the word "steven" in the word doc with pk=30.
I got no error on excecuting this, but how do i combine the 2 thins: how can i open the filtered word document (html) with the highlights shown in a color??
plz help!
also; can someone give me and exampple on how to call these sql statements, like:"begin
ctx_doc.highlight('cvindex', 30, 'steven','highlightresults');
end; " in my JSP (java) page!
thank you

Default java / jsp file which gets executed before DAM asset rendering

Hi,
I have a requirement to implement access control on DAM assets on the basis of a metadata property (tags).
Is there a default JAVA / JSP file which gets executed before rendering a DAM asset?
If yes, how can I override it?
If no, how can I add a new JSP / JAVA file to be executed before rendering of each DAM asset?
Thanks in advance,
Anurag

Hello Anuran,
I dont think there is any api which is executed when you rendering any DAM asset on page component because for each type of DAM asset there are different APIs available which you use the render those dam asset like "Image" class to render the image asset.
Each dam asset also support having different rendition format and if you are interested in that then refer http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/javadoc/com/day/cq/dam/api/DamEvent.Type.html
Please let me know if you need more information
Thanks,
Pawan
