Character problms between Java/C++?

Hi all,
I have a Java app that is listening to a port and accepting connections, it than reads in the stream sent from the client and just print it out in the console window and returns an answer.
The client I am using I have written in C++ and it just prints the reply from the Java app in its console window.
All this works fine, except for when I'm sending special characters(e.g. swedish characters ??????) they get wrong. I have tried using different charset's, but I can't get it right.
What should I do to get the special char's correct on both sides? I would like to do all the changes on the Java side (I'm not a big C++ fan...).
The request string sent from the C++ client is 6 chars, the first three are the swedish extra chars in the alphabet compared to the english in lower case and the last three are the extra chars in UPPER CASE.
When I'm using default charset reading the socket
BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(s.getInputStream());here's what I get when I print the request sent from the C++ client to a file:
char 1: hashCode=338
char 2: hashCode=352
char 3: hashCode=353
char 4: hashCode=65533
char 5: hashCode=8364
char 6: hashCode=8230
here's what I get if a use UTF-8
InputStreamReader in = new InputStreamReader(s.getInputStream(),"UTF-8");and print the request string sent from the C++ client
char 1: hashCode=65533
char 2: hashCode=65533
char 3: hashCode=65533
char 4: hashCode=65533
char 5: hashCode=65533
char 6: hashCode=65533
here's what I get if I create the same String in the Java code and print it to a file:
char 1: hashCode=229
char 1: hashCode=228
char 1: hashCode=246
char 1: hashCode=197
char 1: hashCode=196
char 1: hashCode=214
Greatfull for any suggestions...
//Anders =)
evidently this forum has the same problem (e.g. swedish characters ??????), all the questionmarks should be swedish chars...

My default encoding in Java is Cp1252, and I
have tried different encodings(UTF-8, ISO-8859-1....),
but I can't read the characters correct.You can find encodings supported in Java on the following linked page.

Selecting between java.io and java.nio

Hi,
I'm a bit confused between java.io and java.nio. What sre the major differences between these two?
In areas are these best applicable?

The java.nio package improves on the basic Java I/O that was available prior to JDK 1.4.
It is designed to interoperate more natively with the underlying file handles (sockets, open files etc) to achieve better performance.
The improvements include true non-blocking I/O, better buffer management, character-set support, channels (similar to Occam's channels) and selectors, and some other ancillery stuff. Most of these classes are designed to be inherently threadsafe.
There are some examples here:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/nio/example/index.html
However, if you are still a beginner with file or network I/O, its better if you start with the simple I/O first. You'll appreciate the NIO improvements better afterwards.

Whats is difference between Java JRE and Java SDK

Hi,
what is the difference between Java JRE and Java SDK...
i think both of them have the same set of files to be installed...
I am not able to understand where they differ

The JRE (Java runtime Environment) contains just the stuff necessary to run Java and the SDK (System Development Kit) contains the extra stuff necessary (and also helpful) to develop in Java.

Compatibility between Java crypto and open ssl

Hello
I have some question about compatibility between java crypto and openssl library.
This is my case:
1.I created DESede key and stored it to file:
SecretKey key = KeyGenerator.getInstance("TripleDES").generateKey();
File f = new File("c:\\key.dat");
DataOutputStream dos =new DataOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(f));
dos.write(key.getEncoded());
dos3.close();2.I encrypt some file "c:\\normal.dat" through:
ecipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key2);
byte[] enc = ecipher.doFinal(normalData);
File f2 = new File("c:\\enc.dat");
DataOutputStream dos =new DataOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(f2));
dos.write(enc);
dos.close();

You have carefully left out some critical java code, namely the Cipher.getInstance() method. You'll notice in the documentation for this method that there 3 components to the "transform" argument of this method, the algorithm, the mode, and the padding. All of these must match exactly with the what openssl is using. Furthermore, if you are using one of the modes which require an IV, like CBC mode, then this must match exactly too. If you don't explicitly specify some of these parameters, you might get default values supplied. It is up to you to find out what these are.

Socket communication failure between Java applet and C++ application

I have a java applet that connects to a C++ application via Java's ServerSocket and Socket objects. THe C++ application is using the Winsock 2 API. The applet and application are running on an NT workstation (SP 6) and using IE (5.5) For a very simple C++ test applications the communictions work fine. Once more code gets added to the C++ application the portion of the socket that C++ listens to seems to close. Upon performing a recv call the return value is a zero. Microsoft insists this is a sign the Java side has shut down the socket. The Java applet can still receive messages from the C++ app but C++ cannot receive responses from the Java side. Java throws no exceptions and an explicit check of the socket shows no errors. Again, what puzzles me is that it works for simple C++ applications. Are there any known conflicts between Java and C++ in this regard?
I have inlcuded the basic java code segments below.

      else{
        System.out.println("SendMessage : Flush - No Error");
   }

a very simple C++ test applications the communictions work fine. Once more code gets added to the C++ application the portion of the socket that C++ listens to seems to close.
This quite strongly implicates the extra code in the C++ App. The firstly thing I would try would be telnet. Try connecting to both versions of the C++ Application and manually reproducing a proper exchange.
a recv call the return value is a zero. Microsoft insists this is a sign the Java side has shut down the socket.
A correct implementation of recv should return the number of bytes received, or -1 for an error. A zero return indicates no bytes received not a socket closed/error. This sounds like FUD to me.
Are there any known conflicts between Java and C++ in this regard?
I can see no obvious faults, though the code is incomplete, I don't think it's an sockets implementation issue, at either end, it sounds more likely to be a protocol/handshaking bug in the C++ App.

What's the difference between Java SDK and the Enterprise Edition?

What's the difference between Java SDK and the Enterprise Edition? Are they both free?

both r free but they are used in diffrent applications. sdk are used for simple apps that run on your computer while j2e (enterprise edition) are ment for large distributed computer systems that include servers and such. if you don't know the diffrence you probably wont need the the j2e, only the sdk.

Error while creating connection between Java and ABAP

Experts
I am getting the following error message when I am trying to test the connection between JAVA and ABAP systems.
1. The system ID is valid
2. The system was retrieved.
3. The system object represents an SAP system
4. The following parameters are valid: Web AS Protocol (http) Web AS Host Name (s09f71v06.svr.bankone.net:8100)
5. The host name s09f71v06.svr.bankone.net was resolved successfully.
6. The server s09f71v06.svr.bankone.net *could not be pinged* successfully.
I have JAVA and ABAP on the same system. I am trying to establish a connection. I have checked all the settings and they looks fine. I have also pinged from other system to this server and the Ping works fine.
Please do let m eknow where do I need to check for the errros or logs for the above error message.
Appreciate your quick help.
Mahesh

Check the relevant services are test are active on the Backend system through SICF trransaction.
Also make sure that default icm services are running.See note 517484.
More important the connector test in the portal system should work properly,recheck the WAS path etc are correct.

Data conversion for communication between Java and C/C++ program

The real problem, i guess, is about data type conversion between Java and C programs. For instance, and int is supposed to be 4 bytes in Java, and also in C/C++. But, as far as I know, the size of and int in C depends on the processors architecture, so if it were a 64 bit arch., size of and int, double, etc. in C, would change. The real scenario would be a communication between a 32 bit machine (Java) and a 64 bit machine (C/C++).
First of all, is this assumption correct?
If so,
how is it possible to deal with this problem in Java?
Is there any way to know 'type length' automatically? or
would it be necessary to modify the Java program to work with a C program in 32-bit or 64-bit arch?
thx in advance

Yes you should develop the C part of the protocol first and then build from there.
See http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5243547 for a previous discussion of this topic.
I understand what you mean, also the topic you referenced. I will explain the situation a bit more. The protocol is already defined: (16 bits message size, 16 message id, 32 bit time, etc.); it is also defined in C (structures and so on). So it would be easy to write my Java code using the specified protocol in bytes, and C types wouldn't be necessary to be considered. But, let's say that the C code can't be modified, and I thought (and don't know yet if its correct), that size of C types CAN changed depending on architecture. So if size changes for C types (code is specified in short, int, etc, and not in bit format), it all would be a mess, if I don't implement something in my Java code.

I don't believe that 32 or 64 bit enters the equation here at all.Maybe 32 o 64 doesn't mind, but sparc or PC could take a point here. Communication would be between a sun solaris sparc and windows x86 PC. But if type size in C/C++ does not change, I wouldn't really have any problem then...
The situation is not ideal, I know, but is what I have; and I think I could have problems if I run the C program in other machines; so I would have to try to solve it whithin my Java Program.
I hope it is clear now what I need.

Socket connection between Java and C

I want to establish socket connection between Java client and C server (on Unix). Can anybody tell how to do it? Will the socket created in client be available in server. I tried out but there was no response from the server.

We too can't connect the daemon server written by "c". The phenomena is below.

Communication between java and c++, help!

i am c++ programmer and newly to java.
now i am developping a client/server app. i use java transfers data (socket) between client and server, and use c++ to create user interfaces because c++ is easier for interfaces.
my question is:
in a single PC, java needs to tell c++ what info was read from socket and c++ needs to tell java what info will be written to socket.
i want to use 2 files (read and write) as media between java and c++. that is: java writes data to a file and c++ reads from the file, and vice versa.
i know it's not efficient. could you tell me better way to do?
thanks in advance.

thanks for reply.
my problem is: socket is fare in java, not fare in c++
(win/nt). could u use server in a non nt-server
machine with c++?I'm not sure what you mean "fair". NT-Server is just a version of NT that Microsoft adds their server products to. Most of which you don't want to use because they are a security nightmare. I think what your asking is can you do the equivalent of Java's ServerSocket in C++. Sure, the socket libraries in Windows (at least last time I checked) were based off the BSD socket libraries. So you would basically do something like:
// Open socket
ss=socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
if(ss==-1)
cerr<<"Error opening socket."<<endl;
return 0;
// Fill in address
struct sockaddr_in server;
server.sin_family=AF_INET;
server.sin_port=htons((unsigned short)port);
server.sin_addr.s_addr=INADDR_ANY;
// Bind to port
if(bind(ss, (struct sockaddr *)&server, sizeof(server))==-1)
cerr<<"Could not bind to port "<<port<<"."<<endl;
return 0;
// Ready to accept connections
if(listen(ss, 5)==-1)
cerr<<"Could not listen."<<endl;
return 0;
// Loop to accept connections
while(/* some condition */)
// Accept a connection
int s=accept(ss, 0, 0);
}This should work on any version of windows as long as you have winsock. The example code might need to be changed a little though since I copied it from a Linux program I had.

Do I need Java 8 or should i disable it? What happens if i disable it? And what is the difference between Java and Java Runtime?

Do I need Java 8 or should I disable it? What happens if i disable it? And what is the difference between Java and Java Runtime?

There's no difference. They're both runtime plug-ins (they run when an app calls for Java functions).
You only need Java if you either have Java apps on your Mac that won't run without having it installed, or you use trusted web sites that require Java to function (getting fewer and far between). Otherwise, you have no need for it at all.

Difference in event handling between Java and Java API

could anyone list the differences between Java and java-API in event handling??
thanks,
cheers,
Hiru

the event handling mechanisms in java language
features and API (java Application Programming
Features)features .no library can work without a
language and no language has event handling built in.
I am trying to compare and contrast the event
handling mechanisms in the language and library
combinations such as java/ java API.
all contributions are welcome!
thanks
cheersSorry, I'm still not getting it. I know what Java is, and I know what I think of when I hear API. (Application Programming Interface.) The API is the aggregation of all the classes and methods you can call in Java. If we agree on that, then the event handling mechanisms in Java and its API are one and the same.
So what do you want to know?

I want to configure sso between java and abap instance for ESS/MSS. I couldnt find any guide for it, could you please help me gurus ?
Other question is, is there any specific role for ESS/MSS users in JAVA instance. I want to create users and assign this role to them.

Hi Kemal,
Hope you are doing good.
There should be a / in the ITS path before SAP.
Basically the entry that you have mentioned here should be accessible via browser as well. For eg in your case:
http://<its hist name>/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui should be accessible over browser.
I also think you have put in a extra space in "w ebgui". It should be "webgui".
If the connector settings are working, then we can be sure that system connection is fine. You do not need to configure ITS settings.
Also for SSO, refer the SAP note:1083421 and configure the SS0 settings again.
Please run the SSO2 wizard and then make the automatic connection to
the abap server. This will solve any inconsistencies on the server
due to manual interventions.
Most likely reason for the error is that certificates were loaded
manually rather than using SSO wizard.

The SSO enabling parameters should be set on the R/3 server.
