Freelancing java programming, how to start?

I'm having trouble starting and getting into new
projects, basically because, I dont have a network
to 'get my name' out there.
So I'm trying different things so I could get at least one project, then if I make it well but not charging TOO MUCH, they may recommend my services.
I tried ads on the paper but didnt seem to work, I only
got one response and we still in negotiation but I think I'm losing
I may try to make some 'informative papers' but I think most
people just ignore them these days, so I made a website
and I'm thinking about putting on google ad words, but
that would be a little expensive and I'm not sure it will
be enough. Could anyone give any tips on how to get
the ball rolling, I think after getting two or three projects
it will get a little bit easier because I will get in contact with
a lot of people and if my make the right impression I may get more work.

but then - I think this fellow is the one who announced to us that "Linux was a LIE" - so I am not sure how he/she might feel about Open Source in general...

In java program, how do triger events according to schedule.

I want to use java to develop a program which can triger some tasks(such as backup) at specified time defined by users. But as a new comer to
java language, currently I don't have any ideas to implement it. Would
any buddy give me some advises? Thank you very much for your help in advance!

Another way to go about it would be to make a Thread that will run every minute or however much you want it to run, then get the system time and covert it to a Date. You should make an object that has the Task to run and the time and date to run it, using the Calendar class to do the Date stuff. Then when your thread runs it can check its current date and time to your Task objects and if it matches it excecutes the task.

Java program how to count average word length

I need help creating a program that take a sentance inputed by the user and calculates the average length of the words in the sentance. Thanks.

Sorry about that i didnt mean to break any rules the code i have so far is below.
import java.awt.*;          //imports necessary windowing code to this class
import hsa.Console;         //imports other necessary windowing code
public class GroupProject6   //class signature
    //public makes the code available
    //class name is always capitalized
    static Console c = new Console (); //creates a new window where code is executed
    static public void main (String[] args) //signature of the main method
        c.println ("Please enter a sentance.");
        String message = c.readLine ();
        int average=0;
        wordlength(message, average);
    static public void wordlength (String message, int average)
    int words = 0;
        for (int x = 1; x < message.length () ; x++)
            char spaces = message.charAt (x);
            if (spaces==(' '))
                words++;
        c.print (words+1);

You might try pointing JaNeLA *(<- link)* at it, and fixing any errors it reports. Ignore any optimisations suggested. The optimisations are not properly debugged and would not cause the kind of errors you report.
Oh, and a ++++ to that advice to to ensure the console pops open when encountering a web start app. Make sure the code is not [swallowing exceptions|http://pscode.org/javafaq.html#stacktrace] *(<- link)* at any stage.

Start java-Program when Tomcat starts

I have a TimerTask, that should be executed every hour (war in webapp of Tomcat). If Apache Tomcat will be shut down and started again, Task won't be executed.
Can I define somewhere, that some class should be executed when Tomcat server starts and after restart the tasks will be countinued.
Can I, for example define it some where in web.xml or somewhere else?
I can't controll when tomcat was turned off and started again.
Thanks in advance.

Making your TimerTask to be an application which will do something every 1 hour if it has nothing to do with the Tomcat Server .And tell us what do you want your TimerTask to do ???waiting for you .

How to fetch %ROWTYPE OUT param of a stored procedure from Java program?

I have a stored procedure that has IN / OUT parameter as table_name%ROWTYPE.
From a java program how can I access this ROWTYPE variable?
I tried all possible documentation and none of the explains whether or not this is supported.
My use case expect exactly 1 record from the procedure and we would prefer not to use REF CURSOR.
Is there a way to achieve this? If so, can someone help me with it by posting the sample code to achieve this?
I tried all the possible OracleTypes to register the OutParameter and they all fail.
Looks like there isn't any equivalent of %ROWTYPE in OracleTypes either.
If you need, I can post my sample procedure that uses %ROWTYPE as OUT parameter.
I really appreciate your help in this regard.
- Karthik

Hi,
If "returning only 1 record" the showstopper for not using Ref Cursor, you might want to reconsider because as you probably know, the ref cursor is only a pointer and requires additional step to retrieve the data.

How can I get the events from a java program?

I want to make a monitor to watch a java program.How can I get the events from the GUI of this program some as mouse cliking, keyinput. So I can watch these in my monitor.
Thanks

Hi,
To put a monitor to the events occuring in the GHUI u need to register required components with the appropriate EventListeners.
Liek if u want to get notified when a mouse is clicked, then u need to add The MouseListener to the component which u want to be monitored.
Say
myFrame which is the JFrame object which shuld be monitored for the events.
Then in ur program u have to add following code
myFrame.addMouseListener( someObectReference );
Here the someObjectReference should be an instance to a concrete class ..i.e. U write a class like the following
public class MyMouseListener implements MouseListener {
// override the followig methods
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent me){ sop("MOUSE CLICKED ON THE FRAME");}
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent me){}
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent me){}
If u dont want to use another class for listening to the events. Then u can make teh current class monitor the events. To do so ur class should implement the appropriate listener and should override the required methods.
and u should say myFrame.addMouseListenet( this );
thats it

How to Call .XDO file From Java Program

Hi,
I have developed a report in using BI Publisher version 10.1.3.
I created the report and it only created XDO files. If I want to call XDO file from Java program how I can do that.
What are the APIs available to do that.
Thanks
-Ashutosh

Hi,
the JavaAPI didn't work with the xdo-Files. But you can create a proxy stub for the Web Service API of BI Publisher which uses the xdo's in the repository.
