Why do you feel you need to write to the Windows registry directly? Take a look at the Preferences class.

Can i change system time using java

hi guys can i change system time using java iam doing one app in that i have to change the system time (my os is windowsXP) please tell me how to change the time

What does this have to do with Swing?
Well, there is no Java API that I'm aware of.
However you can execute any Windows command by using the Runtime class. So you should be able to invoke the Time command.
Search the Java Programming forum. There are plenty of examples on using the Runtime.exec(...) command.

New "Windows Programming Using Java" Website

Our newly created "Windows Programming Using Java" website (http://fivedots.coe.psu.ac.th/~ad/winJava/) is for programmers who want to extend Java's capabilities on Windows XP and/or Vista, but aren't sure where to start. One of the drawbacks of Java's portability is that many Java programmers have a rather sketchy knowledge of Windows-specific programming.
We plan to explain how Java applications can utilize Windows application software, OS features, and hardware beyond the reach of Java's standard libraries. A variety of Java/Windows programming techniques will be explained, including:
* Java's employment of the Win32 API via C, JNI, and J/Invoke.
* Java's utilization of Window's Command Line Interface (CLI) and batch files, accessed through Java's Runtime, ProcessBuilder, and Process classes.
* Java and Windows object-based scripting, centered around the use of VBScript, Windows Script Host (WSH), and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).
* Java interoperability with COM, including hosting of ActiveX controls in Swing containers using jacoZoom.
This website is a work in progress, with four chapters available for download at the moment. We'll be adding more regularly, and would love feedback on what we're doing.
Thanks,

Change file mode using java?

Hi
Can I change file mode using java method other than
Runtime.exec()
thx
Jacinle

Hi
Thank you Roopasri. But what I want is not using Runtime.exec
I am using Unix and I want to change some image file access mode
so not a RandomAccess File.
So is there anything like chmod command on Unix?
something like maybe java.io.File.chmod("755");
I read that's a feature requested early on 1.2
Will it be included in 1.4?

CHANGE SECURITY SETTING USING JAVA

Hi all,
Please Help!!!
I am using, JAVA / STRUTS for developing an web application.
In the Client/ Server Technology, I need to set the client Browser Security Level.
Can it be done through JavaScript or how it can be achieved.
Thanks & Regards
Glass_Fish.........

I am using, JAVA / STRUTS for developing an web application.
In the Client/ Server Technology, I need to set the client Browser Security Level.Not possible.
Can it be done through JavaScript or how it can be achieved.By asking the end user to change their Security level if your application really needs them. For example there are ways to detect whether scripting language is enabled or not, whether cookies are enabled or not. If your application really needs that features, Ask user to enable the particular feature by displaying proper messages.

Window programming using java

hi,
can anybody suggest me how to go with widow API using java?
say like if i want to shutdown my computer after pressing the button.
thanks in advance,

Given the platform-independant nature of Java, I'm not sure there's a way to program Windows directly using it. Certainly there's no Java methods for this.
However, it is possible to wrap windows dlls and access them from java, and this is probably the route you'll have to take. It's not particularly easy, but it's effective.
I remember there being an article on gamelan.com about this, sorry don't have the link anymore - you'll have to search.

Thanks Andrew...
I've did opening the file using
try {
Desktop desktop = null;
if (Desktop.isDesktopSupported()) {
desktop = Desktop.getDesktop();
desktop.open(new File(path));
} catch (IOException ioe) {
ioe.printStackTrace();
}Also able to open the directory by setting the "path" variable into the directory path
But how to highlight the needed file after the Explorer is opened???Also, to be completely safe, you'd want to call Desktop#open() only if isDesktopSupported() returns true, otherwise you'll get a NullPointerException.
if (Desktop.isSupported()) {
   try {
      Desktop.getDesktop().open(new File(path));
   } catch (IOException ioe) {

Create a file at a Windows Vista using java applets

I have created a java applet which is downloaded to create local file at a Windows Vista PC. The java codes are:
File out = new File("c:/users/test/hkuesd.properties");
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(out);
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(fw, true);
pw.println("#sample property file");
pw.println("key_path=C:/");
pw.close();
fw.close();
If I turn off "Users Account Control" under "Control Panel" --> "User Accounts", the file "hkuesd.properties" is created at c:\users\test and can be found using windows explorer.
However, if I turn on "Users Account Control", I can not find the file "hkuesd.properties" using windows explorer. But the file can be detected if I run another java applet program with the following codes:
File xpdir = new File("c:/users/test/hkuesd.properties");
FileInputStream fis = null;
if (xpdir.exists()) {
try {
fis = new FileInputStream("c:/users/test/hkuesd.properties");
Properties p = new Properties();
p.load(fis);
fis.close();
privateKeyPath = p.getProperty("key_path", "no value");
catch (Exception e) {}
Interestingly, if "Users Account Control" is on and I created the file "c:\users\test\hkuesd.properties" manually, the file creation codes
mentioned above seems to create another "hkuesd.properties" at the same "c:\users\test". The evidence is I run the second java applet program which can detect the one created by the first java applet but not the one I created manually.

I agreed that it is hardly explained in words. I
suggested to write two
simple java applets using the codes and you will see
the effects:
(1) the first applet can create a file
"hkuesd.properties"
(2) cannot find the file using windows explorer to
search the whole drive.
(3) However, can read the content of the file using
second applet.You still haven't address your problem of swallowing exceptions. Your code might be throwing an exception that tells you exactly what the problem is. Change your code to display or log that exception.

Is it possible in firefox to close a browser window/tab using java script without modifying the configuration settings? If YES, please let me know.

Requirement: On click of button, I want the browser window to be closed.
Solution: I am calling below java script on "onClick()" event of button.
function close_window()
window.close()
This works in internet explorer but not in Mozilla Firefox. What is the reason behind it. Is there any way out to close the browser window in Mozilla Firefox?

Can you post a link to a page that opens a pop-up window where a close button doesn't work?

Changing group permission using java in unix

Hi,
I have a java application which will create files in a particular
directory in the unix server.The application is started using
root.When the file is created the permission it has is -rw-r-r.I need
to change this and give group also rw.Anyone knows how to do this
after file is created.I dont wanna run "chmod" using
Process.getRuntime().Is there any other java api to do this.Please
help me
Thanks,
Sidhartha

Hey thanks.Are you sure that "FilePermission" package cannot do this?I saw some api's in that which sets permission.But i couldn't find anything for group permission.No, those just handle whatever restrictions the Java platform imposes on top of the operating system restrictions. They come into play when you're running an Applet for example, which must not have all the rights that a normal user application has (i.e. it may not read or write any files at all, even if the user running the Applet was allowed to do so).

How to open pdf document in other window by using java script

I am working in R12 Application.
My jdeveloper version is 10.1.3.3.0.3
I want to open pdf document in other window on clicking the button

pageContext.putJavaScriptFunction("doFilterSwitch", "function doFilterSwitch(){window.open('/t01/oracle/TEST/inst/apps/TEST_appsdev2/logs/appl/conc/out/545042.pdf'); }");
OAButtonBean moHelp =(OAButtonBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("Download");
moHelp.setOnClick("doFilterSwitch()");
but when i hit download button it gives me the below error:
The webpage cannot be found

Instead of giving the link in Process form request, give the link directly in Destination URI property of the button and in target property write _blank.
