Completely new to java

hi everybody i'm new to java and i'm looking for someone to remotely connect with over the internet, i've been reading beginners java books and i'm looking for a tutor or just someone to work with my goal is to develop apps and games for the android platform, thanks in advance and i could be reached at [email protected]

I'll do it for $20 AUD per hour (10 hours minimum, payed up-front), but first prove that you know the basics. Write me a program that connects to the sun forums "main page", downloads the HTML therein and saves it to a text file. I'll be marking you on design, style, and selection of appropriate libraries. I'm not looking for any fancy interface, a simple command line program shall suffice.

New to Java and need help with this program..please!

I'd really appreciate any helpful comments about this program assignment that I have to turn in a week from Friday. I'm taking a class one night a week and completely new to Java. I'd ask my professor for help, but we can't call him during the week and he never answers e-mails. He didn't tell us how to call from other classes yet, and I just can't get the darn thing to do what I want it to do!
The assignment requirements are:
1. Change a card game application that draws two cards
and the higher card wins, to a Blackjack application
2. Include a new class called Hand
3. The Hand class should record the number of draws
4. The application should prompt for a number of draws
5. The game is played against the Dealer
6. The dealer always draws a card if the dealer's hand total is <= 17
7. Prompt the player after each hand if he wants to quit
8. Display the total games won by the dealer and total and the total games wond by the player after each hand
9. Display all of the dealer's and player's cards at the
end of each hand
10. Player has the option of drawing an additional card after the first two cards
11. The Ace can have a value of 11 or 1
(Even though it's not called for in the requirements, I would like to be able to let the Ace have a value of 1 or an 11)
The following is my code with some comments about a few things that are driving me nuts:

Thank you so much for offering to help me with this Jamie! When I tried to call change value using:
Card dealer = (d.changeValue());
I get an error message saying:
Incompatible types found: int
required: Card
I had my weekly class last night and the professor cleared up a few things for me, but I've not had time to make all of the necessary changes. I did find out how toString worked, so that's one question out of the way, and he gave us a lot of information for adding another class to generate random numbers.
Again, thank you so much. I really want to learn this but I'm feeling so stupid right now. Any help you can give me about the above error message would be appreciated.

Pls help, i m totally new to java

Hi everyone, i m new to java, i have created a page with a textfield and two buttons, can someone tell me how to pass the text that i input in the text field into my database (mysql) when i click the add button (id:addButton) and then how to retrieve a data from a column of my database when i click the show button (id:showButton)?
my table name is todolist3 and the column in my database is item.
Thank you very much!!!

if u are completly new to java, u must at least read some tutorials about java and later, the tutorial of Java Studio Creator, and if u have time, something about jsp.
i dont want to be rude, but listen my advice, if u want to make your "example" to work, u need to copy the mysql conector into core, this is inside of creator, create a data source to bind your project to mysql table, and the best part, send and receive data from your mysql database.
any doubt just post again

Help me with this (I am new to java)

I am completely new to java, and programming all together, for that matter. I am trying to make a java program that will add 2 numbers that I have input (I don't even know what to put so I can input a number, but oh well).
I put together the following program, but I got an error when trying to run it, and don't know what the error means or why.
Program:
class addition
public static void main (String[] args)
int result = 1+2;
System.out.println(result);
Error:
----jGRASP exec: java add
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: add
Exception in thread "main"
----jGRASP wedge2: exit code for process is 1.
----jGRASP: operation complete.

Also, what does this mean:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundErrorTranslated : No Class Definition Found Error. It means you haven't defined a class called "add". You defined a class called "addition". Being this said, I repeat the question, when you are called by another name than yours, do you respond?
I get that all the time when compiling.when compiling or trying to running it? (diferent concepts)

Completely New!

Hi all,
Im completely new to Java, and have very minimal experience in other languages.
Im starting with Java \o/
A few questions -
What other online resource sites are there?
What books are good?
What fundamental mistakes should i not make?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mark

thanks all, will take a look around and im sure i will
have some fun :D
Markalso, when in doubt, come here and ask your question..be aware that people here have limited time to spend browsing the forums' threads and so a well written, specific thread subject increases your chances of getting a reply from the experienced guys around. When asking about an error, always post the code in question and include the exception message given by the java compiler..to post the code, I would recommend you use the [code] and tags, especially if it's a long listing...those tags will format your code in a readable way so that people reading can easily do so...most important thing and as people have mentionned already...have fun!!! :)

New to java needs advice

Hi,
I'm completely new to java and after a few days search found Studio Creator and decided to use it. Happily developing for a week in JSC, I reached the deployment to Tomcat stage.
Mybe I'm missing something but I find this stage ruining the ease-of-use feeling which I got when I started using JSC.
Am I right that JSC doesn't have a built-in functionality to deploy to Tomcat whithout my intervention, considering my total unfamiliarity with xml, jsp, mysql, etc.?
If so do you guys know of another easy-to-use IDE like JSC?
Any pointers are greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Abraham

New TO JAVA Programming

Dear Forummembers,
I am student doing postgraduate studies in IT.i have some queries related to one of my programming staff.i am very much new into Java programming and i am finding it a bit difficult to handle this program.The synopsis of the program is given below -
You are required to design and code an object-oriented java program to process bookings for a theatre perfomance.
Your program will read from a data file containing specifications of the performance,including the names of the theatre, the play and its author and the layout of the theatre consisting of the number of seats in each row.
It will then run a menu driven operation to accept theatre bookings or display the current
status of seating in the theatre.
The name of the file containing the details of the performance and the theatre should be
provided at the command line, eg by running the program with the command:
java Booking Theatre.txt
where Theare.txt represents an example of the data file.
A possible data file is:
Opera
U and Me
Jennifer Aniston
5 10 10 11 12 13 14
The data provided is as follows
Line 1
Name of the Theatre
Line 2
Name of the play being performed
Line 3
Name of the author of the play being performed
Line 4
A list of the lengths (number of seats) of each row in the theatre, from front to
back.
The program must start by reading this file, storing all the appropriate parameters and
establishing an object to accept bookings for this performance with all details for the theatre
and performance.
The program should then start a loop in which a menu is presented to the user, eg:
Select from the following:
B - Book seats
T - Display Theatre bookings
Q - Quit from the program
Enter your choice:
And keep performing selected operations until the user�s selects the quit option, when the
program should terminate.
T - Display Theatre bookings
The Display Theatre Bookings option should display a plan of the theatre. Every available
seat should be displayed containing its identification, while reserved seats should contain an
Rows in each theatre are indicated by letters starting from �A� at the front. Seats are
numbered from left to right starting from 1. A typical seat in the theatre might be designated
D12, representing seat 12 in row D.
B - Book seats
The booking of seats is to offer a number of different options.
First the customer must be asked how many adjacent seats are
required. Then start a loop offering a further menu of choices:
Enter one of the following:
The first seat of a selected series, eg D12
A preferred row letter, eg F
A ? to have the first available sequence selected for you
A # to see a display of all available seats
A 0 to cancel your attempt to book seats
Enter your selection:
1. If the user enters a seat indentifier such B6, The program should attempt to
reserve the required seats starting from that seat. For example if 4 seats are
required from B6, seats B6, B7, B8 and B9 should be reserved for the customer,
with a message confirming the reservation and specifying the seats reserved..
Before this booking can take place, some testing is required. Firstly, the row
letter must be a valid row. Then the seat number must be within the seats in the
row and such that the 4 seats would not go beyond the end of the row. The
program must then check that none of the required seats is already reserved.
If the seats are invalid or already reserved, no reservation should be made and the
booking menu should be repeated to give the customer a further chance to book
seats.
If the reservation is successful, return to the main menu.
2. The user can also simply enter a row letter, eg B.IN this case, the program should
first check that the letter is a valid row and then offer the user in turn each
adjacent block of the required size in the specified row and for each ask whether
the customer wants to take them. Using the partly booked theatre layout above, if
the customer wanted 2 seats from row B, the customer should be offered first:
Seats B5 to B6
then if the customer does not want them:
Seats B10 to B11
and finally
Seats B11 to B12
If the customer selects a block of seats, then return to the main menu. If none are
selected, or there is no block of the required size available in the row, then report
that no further blocks of the required size are available in the row and repeat the
booking menu.
3. If the user enters a ? the program should offer the customer every block of seats
of the required size in the whole theatre. This process should start from the first
row and proceed back a row at a time. For example, again using the partially
booked theatre shown above, if the user requested 9 seats, the program should
offer in turn:
Seats A1 to A9
Seats C1 to C9
Seats C2 to C10
Seats E3 to E11
Seats E4 to E12
If the customer selects a block of seats, then return to the main menu. If none are
selected, or there is no block of the required size available in the whole theatre,
then report that no further blocks of the required size are available and repeat the
booking menu.
4. If the user enters a # the program should display the current status of the seating
in the theatre, exactly the same as for the T option from the main menu and then
repeat the booking menu.
5. If the user enters a 0 (zero), the program should exit from the booking menu back
to the main menu. If for example the user wanted 9 seats and no block of 9 was
left in the theatre, he would need to make two separate smaller bookings.
The program should perform limited data validation in the booking process. If a single
character other than 0, ? and # is entered, it should be treated as a row letter and then tested
for falling within the range of valid rows, eg A to H in the example above. Any invalid row
letters should be rejected.
If more than one character is entered, the first character should be tested as a valid row letter,
and the numeric part should be tested for falling within the given row. You are NOT
required to test for valid numeric input as this would require the use of Exception handling.
You are provided with a class file:
Pad.java
containing methods that can be used for neat alignment of the seat identifiers in the theatre
plan.
File Processing
The file to be read must be opened within the program and if the named file does not exist, a
FileNotFoundException will be generated. It is desirable that this Exception be caught and
a corrected file name should be asked for.
This is not required for this assignment, as Exception handling has not been covered in this
Unit. It will be acceptable if the method simply throws IOException in its heading.
The only checking that is required is to make sure that the user does supply a file on the
command line, containing details of the performance. This can be tested for by checking the
length of the parameter array args. The array length should be 1. If not, display an error
message telling the user the correct way to run the program and then terminate the program
System.exit(0);
The file should be closed after reading is completed.
Program Requirements
You are expected to create at least three classes in developing a solution to this problem.
There should be an outer driving class, a class to represent the theatre performance and its
bookings and a class to represent a single row within the theatre.
You will also need to use arrays at two levels. You will need an array of Rows in the Theatre
class.
Each Row object will need an array of seats to keep track of which seats have been reserved.
Your outer driving class should be called BookingOffice and should be submitted in a file named BookingOffice.java
Your second, third and any additional classes, should be submitted in separate files, each
class in a .java file named with the same name as the class
I am also very sorry to give such a long description.but i mainly want to know how to approach for this program.
also how to designate each row about it's column while it is being read from the text file, how to store it, how to denote first row as row A(second row as row B and so on) and WHICH CLASS WILL PERFORM WHICH OPERATIONS.
pls do give a rough guideline about designing each class and it's reponsibilty.
thanking u and looking forward for your help,
sincerely
RK

yes i do know that........but can u ppl pls mention
atleast what classes shud i consider and what will be
the functions of each class?No, sorry. Maybe somebody else will, but in general, this is not a good question for this forum. It's too broad, and the question you're asking is an overall problem solving approach that you should be familiar with at this point.
These forums are best suited to more specific questions. "How do I approach this homework?" is not something that most people are willing or able to answer in a forum like this.

emp_name char     30
emp_dept     char     15

emp_doj     datetime     8
emp_dob     datetime     8
I've installed the apatchi tomcat 401 and make the java environment.
So plz can any one help me in that?
Thanks

But I don't know how to handel the code, I didn't
study JSP or Java. I'm trying to learn it by doing
this, so please can you write the code for me in jsp
and how to put it in html then , how to do the
connection to my database?Iam sorry to disappoint you, but no.
If you are new to java and jsp taking up such a task to learn it is not ideal, nor
viable. I would suggest you learn the basics of the language first, then the basics
of jsp, then some jdbc and finally graduate to the example in question. There are
excellent tutorials avbl for all on the net.
Maybe someone else would even post the code here, but suggest you dont
waste time waiting on it.
All the best.
Cheers,
ram.

Get complete output from java.lang.Process

How do I get the complete output from java.lang.Process?
By the time I've started reading from Process.getInputStream() the process has already terminated...

I solved the problem:
private int exec(String pArguments[], OutputStream pOut, OutputStream pErr) throws IOException {
     class ProcessOutputPrinter implements Runnable {
          private InputStream ivIn;
          private OutputStream ivOut;

               try {
                    for(int tByte; (tByte = ivIn.read()) != -1; ) {
                         ivOut.write(tByte);
                    ivOut.flush();

My iPad 3 is not charging on my macbook pro mid-2012. It was working yesterday and it is not working now, and I'm trying to transfer files between them. How do I charge my iPad with my macbook without having to be a completely new computer?

I am trying to transfer files between my ipad 3 and my macbook pro mid-2012 and they will just not connect. I connected them yesterday and it worked fine. And i can not air drop these files into my ipad it has to be done through itunes. And i can not afford to buy a new computer. How do i get these two to connect without having to buy a completely new computer?

Computer USB ports, regardless of the computer maker, have a relatively low power output and thus are not good chargers. They will charge but it takes a long time. You should be charging your iPad from wall power, or a more powerful source like an in-car charger.
Buying another computer will not change that.

How can I open help file (HTML or .chm) from Java Web Start (new to JAVA)

Hi All,
Im trying to open the help file of my application.
When trying to access the help file from the GUI (pressing F1 for launching the help file), I'm geting the an error, something like:
"Can't show help URL: jar:file:C:\Documents and Settings\%USER%\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\javaws\cache\http\Dlocalhost\P7001\DMwebstart\RMjar-name!/com/resources/helpFiles/MyHelpFile.html"
It seems that the file which is packed in a jar, was downloaded to the Java Web Start cache directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\%USER%\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\javaws\cache\http\Dlocalhost\P7001\DMwebstart
The code which is activated when launching the help file is:
try
            ResourceBundle resourceBundle = DoubleResourceBundle.getBundle("Resource", "ResourceImpl");
            RuntimeUtil.launchFile(new File(resourceBundle.getString("help.file")));
        } catch (IOException e)
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }where the property "help.file" is in some property file in the resource bundle named "Resource", and looks like this :
help.file="com/trax/docs/help/global/MyHelpFile.html"
The function "RuntimeUtil.launchFile" knows how to launch any file in its default application, and indeed it does launches the html, when giving it an absolute path to the file on my PC, as "C:\Helpfiles\MyHelpFile.html" as such:
RuntimeUtil.launchFile("C:\Helpfiles\MyHelpFile.html");My question is :
The application is going to be deployed on a Customer PC. How can I access the html file from the code, with a relative path and not its absolute path on the customer pc, which I can't know?
I found these restrictions regarding web start:
(copied from "http://rachel.sourceforge.net/"):
*Rule 1: Java Archives only. No loose files.* All your resources have to be packaged in Java Archives (jar) if you want to have
them delivered to the user's machine and kept up-to-date automatically by Java Web Start.
*Rule 2: No file paths.* You can't use absolute or relative file paths to locate your
jars holding your resources (e.g. <code>jar:file:///c:/java/jws/.cache/resources.jar</code>).
Absolute file paths won't work because you never know where Java Web Start
will put your jar on the user's machine. Relative file paths won't work because Java Web Start
mangles the names of your jars (e.g. <code>venus.jar</code> becomes <code>RMvenus.jar</code>)
and every JNLP client implementation has the right to mangle your names
in a different way and you, therefore, can't predict the name with
which your jar will be rechristend and end up on the user's machine in
the application cache.Seems complex or impossible, to perform a simple task like opening a file.
Please advise (I'm new to Java and Web Start).
BTW, I'm working with IntelliJ IDEA 5.0.
Thanks,
Zedik.

     java.net.URL url = this.getClass().getResource(metaData);
     String fileName = url.getFile();
     fileName = fileName.replaceAll("file:/","");
     fileName = fileName.replaceAll("%2520"," ");
     fileName = fileName.replaceAll("%20"," ");
     fileName = fileName.replaceAll("jarfilename.jar!"," ").trim();
     cmd[1] = fileName;
     try{
          Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
     }catch(java.io.IOException io){
               //Ignore
can anyone give me the solution..???

I want to set up my time capsule on a completely new network & location without losing the old backups. How do I do this?

I want to set up my time capsule on a completely new network & location without losing the old backups. How do I do this? I cannot find anything in the user manual.

The TC is very hard to just move.. it retains too much of the old network setup.. buried deep in the bowels of the firmware configuration files.. or even on the hard disk special partitions used by the TC.. invisible to you btw.. !!
Do a factory reset and setup from scratch.
That factory reset will have no affect on your backups.. even if you rename the TC.. not a bad things since you also want clients to respond to the new network.. simply reset TM to the new TC name and location.
See A4 here.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Factory reset.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Factory reset Gen 5
Hold in reset for about 5sec until the status light flashes quickly.
If your AirPort Time Capsule still doesn’t respond, do a similar reset to the Gen1-4.
Unplug your AirPort Time Capsule .. hold in reset and power the TC back on.. without releasing the reset.. wait until status led flashes rapidly.
