Difference between System.out.println(..)and PrintWriter.println(..)

Hello every one
With System.out.println(..) we can print to Console.
But System.out internally creates PrintWriter object.So why cant we use
PrintWriter.println(..) directly to write to console.
Is there aany disadvvantage with PrintWriter.println(..).
If so can anyone please tell me what is that and
what is the advantage we r going to get with System.out.println(..) method of writing to console.

This is usually shown at the console, but can equally well go into a file (if you've redirected it) or nowhere (when running without a console).
But System.out internally creates PrintWriter object.Not exactly. It refers to a PrintStream object.
So why cant we use
PrintWriter.println(..) directly to write to console.Because if you create a PrintWriter it is just another PrintWriter that writes to whatever you specified at the constructor. It is not the same thing as the one PrintStream that is used in System.out.
what is the advantage we r going to get with System.out.println(..) method of writing to console.The advantage is that it's the only way to do it. Could you post an example of how you'd think of a different way to write to the console?

  • Difference between System.out.println() and out.println()

    Hi,
    In JSP we want to write the JNLP file contents to a ouput stream using "out.printl()".
    The content of the JNLP file i am having in a String.
    The "System.out.println()" is printing the correct JNLP file contents but "out.println()" writing wrong contents which are taken from Server JNLP file.
    How to solve this problem?
    Please guide me in this.
    Thanks and Regards:

    Where is the "System.out.println()" running from? I don't think your problem has anything to do with the difference between System.out.println and out.println. Both methods print what is passed to them. It sounds like you are printing two different files because you are running in two different environments.
    JSPs run on a server and only have access to files on the server or on a network the server is on. If you are trying to print a file on a user's system, JSP can't do it.

  • Difference between system.out.println() & out.println()

    Could anybody please tell what is the difference between System.out.println() & out.println() in JSP ? I have noticed sometimes times the former works & sometimes latter. But I don't know where to use what & the difference between the two.

    System.out is the console (or log file potentially)
    In JSPs, out is defined for you as the stream send back to the browser. e.g. the HTML the browser displays.
    System.out always works, but you might not see the output.
    out only works is a variable has been defined like; PrintStream out.

  • What is the difference between System.out.println() and System.out.print()?

    Hi everyone,
    I am only a new comer and know very little about Java. I will appreciate a lot if anyone teaches me what the difference between two method println and print is? Thank you so much.

    The PrintStream class defines a number of print() methods that ... print
    things. System.out is a commonly used PrintStream.
    The difference between the print(...) and println(...) methods is that the
    second one prints a new line at the end. What it actually prints varies
    from system to system: sometimes it will output a '\n' sometimes not.
    There is a system property called line.separator that determines
    how a new line is output.

  • Difference between system level privilege and object level privilege

    hi
    i just want to know the difference between system level privileges and object level privilege.
    please correct me if i am wrong
    with system level privilege user can create objects such as creating tables,view,synonyms etc
    where as in object privilege we can only manipulate operations on object i.e perform dml not ddl
    please help

    where as in object privilege we can only manipulate operations on object i.e perform dml not ddl There are some system privileges that only concern manipulating objects: SELECT ANY TABLE, for example.
    The main difference is that the system-level privileges tend to cover all objects of a certain type, including objects that haven't been created yet.
    Object-level privileges usually apply only to one specifi object, such as one particular table, and are lost if the object is dropped. (For example, if I create a table called table_x, give you SELECT pivileges on it, then you can query my table. But if I then drop table_x and re-create it, you will not be able to see it unless I grant the privilege again.)

    Thank you for the reply!
    after two days of search and guess.... I found out

    other wise the server jsp turn your Chinese character that come from jsp request form to UTF8 symbol.
    not ideal how to change the configuration in glassfish yet!

  • Disk Utility: Differences between "Zero Out Data" and "7-Pass Erase"?

    I'm wondering if anyone knows if there's a significant difference between the "Zero Out Data" erase option in Disk Utility (specifically Disk Utility 10.5.5), and the "7-Pass Erase" and "35-Pass Erase" options in same software.
    Here's why I'm asking: I have a co-worker with an iMac G5 20" 1.8GHz with 160GB internal hard drive. As a result of the power supply overheating a week ago due to dust, some hard drive problems resulted. I'm trying to assess whether these are 'soft' formatting problems that can be recovered from, or 'hard' problems requiring replacement of the hard drive and/or power supply.
    Following the failure, I removed the dust and restored the iMac to servicable form. The power supply seems to be OK now. The next thing was to attempt to recover as much data as possible from the 160GB, as the last full backup was a week old. Carbon Copy Cloner, shell copy via 'sudo cp -p -R -v', Finder copy, and DiskWarrior recovery all met with problems. TechTool Pro identified a huge swatch of unreadable sectors during repeated surface scans. Unfortunately, these unreadable sectors were located midway in the OSX boot partition (an 80GB partition), and not in the other 80GB partition devoted to lower priority video data.
    When I was satisfied I had backed up the data to the best of my abilities, I next set out to reformat the drive and see if the bad sectors could be eliminated or remapped out of existence. I did a "Zero Out Data" erasure in Disk Utility (with no errors during the erase), but TechTool Pro showed the bad sectors persisted in equal strength at the same location. I next executed a sixteen hour "7-Pass Erase" (again no errors, and confirming that it takes about an hour per 10GB). The next day when I ran TechTool pro, all of the sector errors had disappeared. I'm a bit perplexed as to why the "7-Pass Erase" seems to have recovered the use of the drive. Is it possible that there are simply thousands of bad sectors now remapped that I'm not seeing? [If so, how do I check for this?] TechTool Pro has not reported any S.M.A.R.T. issues to date on the drive. What am I to make of that?
    There are some related threads I've checked into, but I'm not sure how to properly assess my situation based on this information:
    <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=232007>
    <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=138559>
    <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=118455>
    Since the iMac has three weeks left on it's one year warranty, and I've already moved the user to another machine temporarily, I'm thinking that the smart thing to so is to send it in to Apple to have them look at the power supply and hard drive. That way, when it returns, even if there is still a lingering hardware problem, at least it will be covered under warranty for another 90 days.
    Any thoughts?
    iMac G5 20" 1.8GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   1.25GB RAM, 160GB hard disk, SuperDrive

    HI, Bret.
    The only differences between "Zero Out Data", "7-Pass Erase", and "35-Pass Erase" are the number of times a binary zero is written to every bit on the disk. "Zero Out Data" writes a binary zero once, whereas the 7- and 35-Pass options write a zero seven and 35 times, respectively.
    Technically, one pass with Zero Out Data should be sufficient to map bad sectors out of service, a process also known as sparing. If a bad sector is encountered, it is both marked as "in use" in the directory's allocation table and added to the directory's "bad blocks file."
    My understanding is that the Surface Scan of Tech Tool Pro should identify bad sectors every time it is run unless the bad sectors have been locked out by the drive controller of the ATA drive itself. This is because Surface Scan checks the entire surface of the disk.
    What may have happened is that running "Zero Out Data" spared the bad blocks from a directory standpoint, but did not result in the drive's controller locking out those sectors for reasons detailed in the "Surface Scan" section of the Tech Tool Pro manual. However, the 7-Pass Erase may have resulted in the drive's controller locking out the bad sectors and why Surface Scan did not pick them up after such.
    Given the problems you described, I concur with your plan to have Apple check the affected computer. You might also want to consider purchasing an AppleCare Protection Plan for that Mac: I recommend and buy these for all my Macs.
    For some additional information on bad sectors, see the "Bad Sectors" section of my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ.

  • Differences between System Admin ,SPAdmin and Farm admin in terms of day to day job responsibilities

    Hi,
    Any help on this?
    Thanks,
    srabon

    As per my understanding
    1. Sysadmin > System admin is the person who is responsible for System(OS, Hardware, network) related issues in org. He is not concerned more about Applications like Exchange and sharepoint unless he I asked to do so. So you need a daily\weekly plan to
    audit systems in the org
    2. SPadmin \ Farm admin> This is SharePoint admin who would look into the server farm environment. SharePoint farm include SharePoint server, windows on sharepoint server, SQL, etc. only thing related to sharepoint
    Also if anyone is Site collection admin. He should keep tap on site level stuff like audit, issue, size of database, etc
    If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered

  • Difference between System.err and System.out

    Hi Everyone !!!
    I could see that System.err is printing an output on the screen as like the System.out.
    I can't understand what is System.err.
    Can anyone explain me the difference between System.out and System.err

    System.out.println -> Sends the output to a standard output stream. Generally monitor.
    System.err.println -> Sends the output to a standard error stream. Generally monitor.
    To find the difference execute the following program and see the output. You will see how those streams can be handled differently.
    public class test
    public static void main(String args[])
    System.out.println("Standard output Stream message");
    System.err.println("Standard error stream message");
    Compile the class.
    Run the class
    First Execution -
    java test
    Standard output Stream message
    Standard error stream message
    Second Execution -
    java test >op.txt
    Standard error stream message
    In second execution we diverted only the std output stream and std err stream remained unchanged. i.e., by this way, we can handle error stream separately.
    Another typical use of this stream is to produce log or debug messages at runtime and are diverted them to a file where they are archived for later use.<img class="emoticon" src="images/emoticons/shocked.gif" border="0" alt="" width="16" height="16" />

  • System.out.println and out.println

    Sir,
    i wana know the diff between System.out.println() and println plz help in this regard. how they work in jsp .
    thanks

    Hi
    System.out.println is a method of PrintStream in IO which is used to print the output on console in java progs.Here in jsp ,the o/p is printed on server's console window.But out.println is totally different as, out is implicit object derived from JspWriter and is used sly to PrinWriter 's object is used in servlets.It's work is to write upon Browser.
    System.out.println() is normally used in jsp for debugging purposes only.

  • System.out.println and Network Adapter problem

    Hello,
    I am encountering a 2 strange problems. I have 2 oracle application server instances, one dev and one production.
    The first problem is when I type System.out.println in the JSP's i am able to see the output in both \opmn\logs\oc4jinstance. But the System.out.println in the java classes or bean show up only in development logs but not in production box.
    Is there a setting I am missing here?
    The second problem is on our development machine the application works fine, but as soon as we deploy the application on production I encounter:
    could not open new connection: Io exception: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection
    I have a class called DBUtils, which uses a 3rd party library to get connections from the connection pool as below. Using JSP I call the getConnection(). On my dev Oracle Application Server Instance it works fine, but on production I get the error. Can it be there is a setting that I am missing on the production box?
    When I use a JSP and connect to the database without using the DBUtil class. I can connect to the database fine. Also using the DBUtil class with production oracle IP address on the development machine lets me connect with no problem, but production machine does not let me.
    public class DBUtils {
    static ConnectionPoolBean pool;
    static {
    System.out.println("DBUtils() - before connection pool bean");
    pool = new ConnectionPoolBean();
    pool.setDriverClassName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
    pool.setdbURL("jdbc:oracle:thin:@IPADDRESS:PORT:SID");
    pool.setUser("USERNAME");
    pool.setPassword("PASSWORD");
    pool.setInitialConnections(1);
    pool.setIncrement(1);
    pool.setSoftMaxConnections(40);
    public static Connection getConnection() throws SQLException {
    System.out.println("Getting Oracle Connection");
    return pool.getConnection();
    public static void returnConnection(Connection conn) throws SQLException {
    System.out.println("Returning Connection");
    pool.returnConnection(conn);
    Thanks for your help in advance.

  • Intercepting System.exit() and System.out.println() calls

    hi there,
    I have often problems when working with code that uses System.exit() and System.out.println() extensively, because it becomes difficult to debug.
    Basically I do have wrappers for System.exit() (my own static exit function) and for System.out.println() (log4j).
    Still not all programmers are using these methods; Probably the only way to enforce this is some kind of code warrior, but I was hoping to be able to intercept the two System.XXX calls (and throw an appropriate Exception). is this possible ??

    Why not simply make your own security manager andhandle checkExit() and checkWrite?
    Does anyone have a simple example of this? Please?System.exit() can be intercepted using a security manager, but not System.out.xxx.
    Here is a short example:
    //set your security manager
    static{
         SecurityManager s = new OwnSecurityManager();
         System.setSecurityManager(s);
    //redirect the out stream
    try{
         PrintStream ps = new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream("output.txt"));
         System.setOut(ps);
    }catch(IOException ioe){
         ioe.printStackTrace();
    //some tests
    System.out.println("Test");
    System.exit(2);
    //your security manager
    class OwnSecurityManager extends SecurityManager{
         public void checkExit(int code){
           if(code > 0){
             super.checkExit(code);
             throw new SecurityException("Not allowed here->" + code);
         public void checkRead(FileDescriptor fd){
         public void checkRead(String file){
         public void checkRead(String file, Object context){
         public void checkPermission(Permission perm){
           if(perm.getName().equals("exitVM")){
             System.out.println("exitVM");
    }

  • Log4j and System.out.println

    I have to implement log4j onto a running application, the whole application uses System.out.println for logging.
    Can implement log4j without changing the code.
    Regards,
    Sabari

    Create a PrintStream which writes to log4j. Make sure the PrintStream writes to the current System.out if called when it is already being called.
    Set this as the default out and err with System.setOut() and setErr().
