Cannot import javax.print.*;

Hi All,
I have to send a file to printer Directly.
For this i want to use java print service API.
I installed J2SE 1.4.2
But i could not import javax.print.*;
Plese help me.

The package javax.print was added in Java version 1.4, so if you are using 1.4.2 you should be able to use it.
Are you sure you are using Java 1.4.2? Don't you have another version of Java installed somewhere? Open a command prompt and type:
java -version
Which version does it say you're using?

Swing was not part of any JDK's earlier than 1.2. Swing (or anything with a J in front of it, ie. JFrame, JOptionPane, etc...) was probably the most dramatic (if not largest) modification/addition to the Java language, that's why versions later than, and including, 1.2 are known as "Java 2".

Cannot import javax.servlet

Hello,
I'm trying to write a javabean to use with in jsp code.
In the bean I need to use <code>HttpServletResponse and for this I need to add :
</code>import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
this throws me the exception : package javax.servlet does not exist.
CLASSPATH = .;D:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\lib\servlet-api.jar;D:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\lib\jsp-api.jar;D:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\lib\el-api.jar;
I have no idea where I need to include this class.
Thanks in advance for your help.

No idea about Netbeans, but in Eclipse you can just accosiate an application server with the web project, then it will automatically take its libraries (the javax.servlet and so on) in the buildpath.

Cannot import javax.faces.model

Dear friends,
Greetings,
I want to use the model classes : ArrayDataModel, ListDataModel,ResultSetDataModel, etc. ,,,
According to "core JavaServer Faces" Book ( Sun - By David Geary ),
Chapter 5( Data Tables) , these classes are in javax.faces.model.
Iam using Oracle JDeveloper 10g Early Access . Trying
import javax.faces , faces is not in the drop list of javax .
Please advise .... thanks and regards
Salah Beidas

Hello,
I don't know Oracle JDeveloper, but I don't think it is different from other IDE's:
You have to add the JSF library to your project.
I personnaly downloaded jsf-1_1_01.zip, unzipped it in C:\java\jsf-1_1_01
Then right-clicked on project libraries to add this library:
C:\java\jsf-1_1_01\lib\jsf-api.jar
Hope this will help!

Cannot import javax.jms

I've installed J2SE 1.3.1_01 and J2EE 1.3_01. I use Forte for Java CE 3.0. When I type import javax.
I get nothing!
Why I cant use javax ????
Please help an new Java-Fan

Typing! It's realy a bad thing. I thought I can use the J2EE Packeges (J2EE.JAR), but the only way I can do it is in building a own Package of the class-files included there!
Have you an idea?

Cannot Import javax.servlet.* and javax.servlet.http.*

Hello,
I am a University Student and now doing a project using Servlet and JSP
I have installed WinXP and Tomcat 5.0 on my computer
When I compile the servlet , there are error messages "package javax.servlet does not exist" and "package javax.servlet.http does not exist" coming out.
I have set the classpath already
i.e. %CATALINA_HOME%\common\lib\servlet-api.jar;%CATALINA_HOME%\common\lib\jsp-api.jar
( Of course "%CATALINA_HOME%" = my folder that install the Tomcat )
Can Anybody Explain what is happening and suggest a solution to me?
Please give a hand.

When you ran that command, what happened? Let javac.exe tell you the right answer.
I'd advise two things:
(1) Installing any s'ware in a directory whose name contains spaces (e.g., "Apache Software Foundation" or "Tomcat 5.0") is a very bad idea, IMO. I'd reinstall to a new directory.
(2) Your HelloServlet.java servlet probably doesn't have a package statement in it. Tomcat 5.0 won't play nicely with servlets or beans that aren't in packages. I'd add one and use the -d . option on javac.exe to make sure it created the package directory structure for me.

Cannot import javax.servlet onto classpath

Hi guys, newbie question.
Im using jedit on linux; compiling with j2sdk1.4.2_04 but it will not pick up the javax.serlet
classes!! Is there an add on I need to download to develop j2ee stuff, as I thought j2sdk1.4.2_04 was all that was required.
Thanks in advance

Wrong. You need a JAR that has the javax.servlet and javax.servlet.http packages, and they don't come with the J2SE.
If you want to run servlets/JSPs, you must have a servlet/JSP engine. If you already have one, root around for the servlet JAR. If don't, download Tomcat. It's Sun's reference implementation for the servlet/JSP specifications. The servlet JAR will be in the TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib directory.

PDF printing using javax.print

Hi!
I need to create an aplication that generates a PDF document and then prints it. For creating the PDF doc, I use the iText package.
I have some problems with printing. I don't know how to print the document I generate. Could you give me a hint please? (I can print GIF docs, yet I do not know how to convert the PDF to GIF).
Thanks in advance,

Here's the code I'm working with for printing. This stuff works .... in a very strange way - it prints out all sort of crazy characters. I know I am doing something wrong and I think it's all in this line:
DocFlavor docf = DocFlavor.INPUT_TYPE.PDF;
Should I use a different flavor? I read somewhere that the PDF file format is not entirely supported bye javax.print. Could this be the problem?
Thanks in advance,

Javax.print problems on applet - bug on mac os implementation?

Dear All,
I am working on an applet and application that include a print function and I get a weird behaviour on MacOS in applet mode (both with Safari and Firefox - Mac OS X Versione 10.4.9 (Build 8P135) ). In contrast, things work fine on Windows XP (both Explorer 7 and Firefox with Java Plug-in 1.6.0_01) and even in MacOS when using the application.
The problems are:
- the print dialogue goes on and off a few times before letting the user interact with it
- the page format in the dialogue is set to A5 (instead of the printer's default)
- there is a small empty window appearing together with the dialogue and not disappearing even after the applet is closed
Is this a known problem? If so, are there work-arounds?
(I had no luck on Google about this)
To reproduce the problem I created a stripped down version of the applet, in 2 files, I report it at the bottom of this message. I am using a modified version the PrintUtilities class from http://www.apl.jhu.edu/~hall/java/Swing-Tutorial/Swing-Tutorial-Printing.html
Am I doing something wrong? Or shall I consider submitting a bug report?
Any suggestion is welcome! Please let me know if I should provide more detailed information.
Thank you in advance,
Enrico

Importing javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicListUI.MouseInputHandler

Hi!!
I have totally no idea why I cannot import javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicListUI.MouseInputHandler. The compiler says BasicListUI interface is expected.

Agreed (maybe even so for 1.4.1 that I've just wiped out so I can't cehck my old rt.jar :o).
For the moment I use my old translation of the basic.properties (and windods.properties) packed in a jar-file placed in
jreXX/lib/ext/myLanguage.jar
So far it works for the dialogs in my applications ...
However, I don't find this a clean solution. I now find basic.class in rt.jar. Juged from all the other basic_xx.class files in rt.jar I guess this is where basic.properties went ... My next move will be to get hands on the source code of JAVA and check out how basic.java looks like ... perhaps this is a class filled with static fields and a simple method that sets properties in memeory or ? or ? ... In particular I need find out if some 'fields' have been added or removed compared to the old basic.properties. If so, the old translation would only be parial and my apps would be a mix of danish and english.
I'm not really that much of a JAVA programmer and this is just to share some thoughts. Does anyone out there know a central reference on how those of us that speak minority languges easily get translations of core JAVA stuff (meaning Yes, No, Cancel and the like) take effect the easy way? Are there national boards that take care of such business?
Maybe I haven't searched enough for information - my apologies if you found it waste of time reading this reply.
With kind regards and thanks in advance, MJTJ

Epson all in one printer - compatible with 10.9.5? Cannot import from scanner in Preview

Got a new Epson printer. Set up is fine; wirelessly connected. Downloaded and updated all drivers. Still cannot import from scanner into Preview. Anyone else? Seems like this was a problem in 2013 as far as I can see from other forum discussions. Any advice? Scanner works manually so it's the set up, compatibility or...?

What do you mean "import from scanner to Preview?"
Does the scanner actually scan, if so what file format (jpg, pdf, tiff, etc...) are you scanning in? Once you have successfully scanned simply open Preview and open the file. Another method is selecting the scanned file, right click and select Open With and select Preview.
