Help im a newbie

see ive got netbeans 4.0 and jdk 5 and i also have xp ive set everything up for jdk in the enviroment settings in xp but when i still just try to print one line using
system.out.println("hello, world); (you know the starter for learning every language, any ways it comes up with a error that says "package system does not exsist" can some one tell me how to fix this

and Java class names always start with a Uppercase
letter (System is a class)By convention they do, but they don't have to. The
compiler won't care, as long as the case you use to
refer to a class is the same as where it's defined.Hmm, Jeff, I swear I didn't copy you, but I just wrote exactly the same thing.

I had both threads open, switched to this one, and deja vu! :)

  • Help needed for newbie EJB

    Hi, all
    I am a newbie in EJB and I am following the example in the URL:
    http://www.huihoo.com/jboss/online_manual/3.0/
    I am working on the 'interest' example in the first chapter.
    When it come to 'Packaging and deploying the bean', I got some meaage like this:
    ant intro-interest-jar
    Buildfile: build.xml
    validate-servlet:
    validate-jboss:
    fail_if_not_valid:
    init:

    [jar] Building jar: /home/xiaobo/learningejb/examples/build-examples/interest/interest.jar
    BUILD SUCCESSFUL
    Total time: 2 seconds
    Why did I get this:
    /home/xiaobo/learningejb/examples/COULD_NOT_FIND_SERVLET_JAR.
    But if I check the "interest.jar" by using 'jar -tvf interest.jar' in the "~/learningejb/examples/build-examples/interest$" directory, it seems it had all files and directories in it.
    But if I copy this jar file into the deploy directory in jboss, and I check the log file 'server.log'
    I found this error message:
    2005-11-28 17:31:03,536 DEBUG [org.jboss.management.j2ee.LocalJBossServerDomain] handleNotification: javax.management.Notification[source=jboss.ejb:service=EJBDeployer,type=org.jboss.deployment.SubDeployer.stop,sequenceNumber=15,timeStamp=1133213463536,message=null,userData=org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentInfo@c36a9f52 { url=file:/opt/jboss-3.2.5/server/default/deploy/interest.jar }

    mbeans:
    Then I add the follwoing line into the 'ejb-jar.xml':
    <!DOCTYPE ejb-jar PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Enterprise JavaBeans 2.0//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/ejb-jar_2_0.dtd">
    so the 'ejb-jar.xml' looks like this:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE ejb-jar PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Enterprise JavaBeans 2.0//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/ejb-jar_2_0.dtd">

    and I rejar it and copy the jar file into the deploy directory. I still got the same error message in the log file???!!!
    Please help!

    It's a no brainer between the AirPort Extreme and Airport Express.
    The AirPort Extreme has 6 wireless antennas up at the top of the "tower", while the AirPort Express has four, so the Extreme has significantly better wireless speed and range than the Express.
    As you know, the broadcast power of wireless routers is limited by law, and most routers are running full blast. Apple routers are not known for their broadcast power, so what we cannot tell you is whether the Extreme will outperform the existing wireless router that you already have in terms of range.
    Also as you know, the speed of your Internet connection is limited to the plan that you have with Verizon. An Apple router cannot take the speed of Internet connection that it receives from your Verizon plan and make it go any faster.
    A user who has both the same Verizon router as you and an AirPort Extreme might be able to tell you how the products compare in his home.
    But...and this is a big BUT...... the bottom line with any wireless router is that you will not know how well it performs in your home until you try it out in your home. To think otherwise would be foolhardy at best.
    Buy from Apple and you have a 14 day return privilege in case things don't work as well as hoped. Other stores may offer a similar option. Check first, before you buy.

  • Connecting a kiosk to a server - help out a newbie!

    well no exactly a newbie, but sort of
    hey all
    i am self-taught and i have pretty good as3 and mxml skills and have worked with Flash Pro and Flex, but only for my own stuff at home. i have only done local AIR stuff that don't require sending and getting data from a server
    now someone has asked if i could build him a kiosks/server system, and i want to dive into that
    the kiosks would be deployed in stores and have touchscreens displaying pictures, movies, banners and accept user control and data - no problem here
    i plan to build his remote controlling software in Flex and the kiosk AIR apps in Flex or Flash pro.
    the kiosks should periodically connect to the server to see if updates are available  and download swf, jpeg and movie (mp4? flv?) files to the local filesystem (no live streaming is needed)
    also, user created data (forms only) should be sent to the server - i guess xml
    since i have no server side or server connection experience could you help me out here - what to investigate further into:
    URLloader?
    Sockets?
    HTTPrequests?
    WEBrequests?
    RemoteObects?
    can all this be in as3 alone or do i need stuff like php also?
    also, would i be able in the controlling flex app to determine if specific kiosks are offline?
    thanx a million,
    Saar

    you can use urlloader to load data from the server but you may also need serer-side code (unless you're hard-coding file names).

  • MBP was hacked? Help for a Newbie.

    Hi everyone. I think my WEP was cracked and my MBP was hacked. WEP was cracked because the lock is gone. Tried to restart, sorry don't have access to router to restart that or confirm connections on that hardware. Connecting to MBP via airport. Have been in system preferences and attempted to re-connect with WEP passowrd. I've learned online that WEP2 is better, so lesson learned. If I post the netstat commands I ran would you be able to tell me if my system has been hacked? From my newbie knowledge of how to read netstat I thinkit was-  There have been connections to open port numbers in the 5000 range from which I have read online is an alert. Also, I do not recognize the ip addresses or hostnames and also I see files were sent and received. I've run Mac Scan trial version - but from my knowledge this does not confirm connections to my computer from an ulocked airport connection. Additionally, all of a sudden I have theDS_Store on my system, is this an indicator of a hack. Sorry guys and gals for all the Q's.If this is the incorrect forum for the question could you kindly point me to where I would ask this. Thanks for any help. JO

    Thanks people. I xed out some info I think is personal ip or isp - let me know if you needed this info. i called it my ip but maybe it is my isp - in any case, it starts with 192. Let me know also if i posted too much info.
    netstat - It's alot of info. on the internet I see amazon web servers is  Ec2 is this- and from what I read this is a way to transfer files.
    Today I closed all browsers, and ran netstst -n and netstat.
    as I noticed other times I ran and lookedup the ip address that they were browser tabs that I had opened (makes sense- it's reading what my computer is connected to).....
    Thanks guys.and if i was hacked should I take computer to genius bar or police?
    -  JO
    From today
    netstat -n

  • LCD/HDTV help for a newbie

    I am a longtime BB customer and am finally taking the HDTV plunge.  I have narrowed it down a bit to the Insignia NS-L37Q (32" is too small, 40" is too big) versus a Dynex DX-37L150A11.  I am not a cinephile so the basic features are fine with me and the price is right (I am a cheapskate).  It is a 37", 1080p LCD HDTV.  This is for basic TV, sports, DVD viewing.  Please indulge a few newbie questions. 
    1) The one small reservation I have is the Insignia's native contrast ratio at 1400:1 and brightness 500/cd/m2.  Should I be concerned that it isn't high enough?  I note the Dynex 37" in the same price range is 4000:1 but 450/cd/m2.
    2) I have DISH satellite but may switch to DirectTV but assume both are similar.  I assume I'll need a special HDTV box from them, correct?  And HDMI cable to connect from box to set?
    3) I have never bought a service plan in my life but am considering one for this.  The Insignia already comes with a 2 year warrenty and this extends it to 4 as I understand it.  Is $89 on a $549 LCD worth it?  I'll be ticked if a pixel goes out in the middle of the screen, but does "burn in" still even happen on these units?
    4) I run the DVD player through my stereo currently (because I am too cheap to buy home theatre sound) so would I just hook that up the same way through the audio inputs?  I understand it won't be digital or anything.
    5)  It has 3:2 inverse pulldown.  Is that good and why should I care?
    Any help from the experts here is greatly appreciated. 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I would recommend the Insignia, as both are Best Buy house brands but I've noticed better image quality and reliability with the Insignia's as opposed to the Dynex tv's.
    1)  While the Dynex has the better contrast ratio, the difference between 1400:1 and 4000:1 is not very staggering.  Disregard this comparison.  
    2)  Yes you will need a set-top-box from DirecTV, fortunately you can pick these boxes up at the store and can subscribe to your DirecTV account while you shop.
    3)  $89 for 2 years of peace of mind on an LCD tv is worth it, though I don't think it extends the contract to 4 years, rather, the service plan covers "normal wear and tear/heating issues/power surges", whereas the standard 2 year warranty only covers manufacturer's defective parts and labor.  $89 is fair, cheapskate or not.
    4)  Your DVD player setup will work fine, but consider getting a blu ray for next Christmas, you'll thank me later.  
    5)  Don't worry about this.
    I don't claim to be an expert, but I am an enthusiast, so any "experts" out there feel free to chime in and correct me if I may be wrong.

  • Need help for a newbie!!!

    Hi,
    I have set up a website on a new Redhat7.3 box with Apache2.0 and integrated Tomcat4.0 to handle the servlets used in the site. Yesterday I finished installing Oracle 9i Enterprise edition on the machine (I need a simple single table database that I will be able to access through the servlets). I am a bit overwhelmed by all the info out there that I really don't know where to start, so my questions are:
    1: "What do I do to make the database?"
    2: "How do I access the database, should I use the Thin or the OCI driver?"
    3: "Are there any examples around to do the above?"
    In general I mainly need to know where to go from here and if there may be any resources around to help a newbie like myself.
    Thanks again,
    Rick.

  • Editing help for a newbie :) baby photo editing effect

    hello everyone Firtly im sorry if i am posting in totally the wrong area but its the first time i have been on the site so not too sure of my way around lol
    Im in desperate need of some help with photo editing in cs3.
    basically i have seen some baby photos someone i 'know' has taken where a lovely effect has been applied. I asked her how and this is what she said:
    'I create a fill layer of a shade of the middle tone of the sikin colour reduce the opacity, then add a texture mask to bring back a bit more of the features and paint it on the areas .. then just sharpen areas such as eyes nose and mouth .. and highlights to the corners of the eyes and centre of the mouth .. and then select high pass as a mask and that makes the image pop out a little bit'
    But being a newbie i have no idea how to do any of this!! lol i know my way around photo shop a bit but just afetr ANYONE who can help me step by step pretty pretty please?
    here are 2 examples of the images that use the effect incase that makes it easier for anyone to know what i mean lol (hope the links work)
    Thank you all in advance if you can help xx

    The description seems somewhat unclear in parts.
    'I create a fill layer of a shade of the middle tone of the sikin colour reduce the opacity, then add a texture mask to bring back a bit more of the features and paint it on the areas ..
    Nor sure what she means with »texture mask«, but possibly just applying heavy noise (Filter > Noise > Add Noise) on the Layer Mask.
    then just sharpen areas such as eyes nose and mouth ..
    One option is applying Filter > Sharpening > Unsharp Mask to a copy of the Smart Object and setting it to Blend Mode Luminance and painting on its Layer Mask.
    and highlights to the corners of the eyes and centre of the mouth ..
    This could be done with a Curves- or Levels Adjustment Layer.
    and then select high pass as a mask and that makes the image pop out a little bit'
    That seems more than a little unclear to me – making a Selection of a High Pass-result and using it as a Mask for what?
    One can use the High Pass Filter for sharpening.

  • 10.4.7 CPU Whine!!!! Please HeLp.. Newbie!!!!

    Hi Guys..
    I recently got a MBP (week 23) standard config.. As far as i remember i didnt notice the whirring or buzzing sound (known as CPU whine) until i upgraded to 10.4.7..
    Well its pretty faint but i can easily here it when i am in a silent room n the thought that i have it now really makes me hear that n indeed this bugs me.. This is my first ever Apple product n first ever laptop (I am a newbie)..
    I talked to a guy on apple support n told him about the issue n he said it might be the inverter buzz n is a hardware issue.. BUT i told him tht it cant be hardware as it goes away whn i turn on the photobooth or i do CPU intensive tasks, so it seems to me that its a software thingy..
    So i have two quetions:
    1) Is it a hardware issue or not??? If it is then i am gona send it back (ny suggestions on tht too will be appreciated)..
    2) Other than the slight whine, ITS PERFECT, totaly NO ISSUES.. Jus wondering tht i turn the photobooth on to make it silent what effect does it make on the battery??? Cant figure out
    Any help will be much appreciated as i need to make a decision tht whether i m gona send it back or keep it (plz provide suggestions on tht too if you can..)
    Kind Regards

    Hello Singh1699,
    Yes, I already talked to one of the Apple staff in Ireland (I lived in Swiss) and they admitted that it IS the hardware related problem. They said the build is not somehow fully compatible with the core program of MAC OSX causing the noise from CPU and, quite a few times, with the power invertor.
    You can search my posts here for more information about this issues. What I would recommend you to do is try to get a hold of Apple store, ask them for a replacement (you can even put the noise on phone for them to hear as I did). You have to be quick before your 14 days of return expires. That what I did and now I am waiting for my new one to arrive.
    Hope this helps
    Cheers,
    James

  • Please help a Photoshop newbie recreate a text effect... :(

    If someone would be kind enough to help me out on this, I've been working on it for last few hours... the .psd is the effect that I want to accomplish.
    I downloaded the effect file here: 108 Free Glowing Neon Social Networking Icons » WebTreats ETC
    With the help of a few community members & my own trouble shooting - I figured out that the effects file had been converted to object. So I copied & saved the styles (see arrows).
    Steps I did after are noted in the red box on the screenshot, essentially:
    created a new text box
    applied first saved style
    duplicated layer
    applied second saved style
    duplicated layer and created plain black text
    converted all to shape
    Here's what I attempted & failed miserably to create the outline appearance that the .psd text shows 
    7. selected> color range >dropper >black
    8. when selection was visible, created transparent layer
    9. tried applying stroke
    10. Hide the black layer
    I still cannot get it to work.  Do I need to create a mask?
    Can some one PRETTY PLEASE give me a step-by-step from this stage that I'm on?
    I'm a newbie, please be kind... Please!
    I have a client deadline & need to figure this out.- ANY help MUCH appreciated!!!

    Tested the movie but nothing shows up. i guess i need some coding? but i dont know where to add the codes. on the same frame? or in frame 1?
    i also need the image to fade-in.
    the end result im looking for is, as i click a button. 3 images show up at the same time, fading in.
    Help, greatly appreciated.
    and thanks in advance

    thanks your the reply,
    the source is set to 1.jpg i put a image file named 1.jpg into the same as the fla. and swf and everything.

  • Xsan Breakdown (please help an Xsan newbie)

    Hi Guys,
    I am a complete newbie to Xsan, but I know it's something that I need in my studio soon. Can some explain the process involved in creating a Xsan environment? I have done quite a bit of research for a few months now, but still don't understand certain things. On the network do you install Xsan on the clients? Controllers? If someone could explain the whole process of setting it up that would really, really help me!
    Thanks

  • Need help for a newbie problem

    I am VERY new to all this Java programming but have really started to enjoy it.
    I have two problems with my program that I can not find answers to.
    1. I am looking to find out why my code will not select the right answers when I select the first choice in the array. The answer that is delivered turns out to be the 3rd selection. The second and third selection work great, but the first selection always turns out with the thrid answer.
    2. I know I need to do better error checking on the user input. At this point I am only checking for correct integer input, but I dont know how to fix or avoid the error for when the user would mistakedly enter letters instead of numbers.
    Any hints?
    Code to follow... I hope...

    Thanks for any help!

    When you choose Java to solve the problems, you need to adapt to the power/strategies/methodology that java offers you, and thats the way for solving problems in Java.
    Why would you put the entire implementation for calculation inside main method? You could break down the program into smaller methods which could do the calculation bit and then call them in main method.
    Anyways the reason that it is calculating for term of 7 years is that
                           // for statement loops last repayment option
                           for (rPay = 1; rPay <=3; rPay++)
                                    {mPayment[lPay] = mPayment[lPay1++];
                                     yTerm[rOller2] = yTerm[rOller3++];You are changing the value of the array yTerm[ ]. Hence once the control is out of the for loop the value of y[0]=7,y[1]=7 and y[2]=7.
    Solution 1: mark yTerm as final.
    Solution 2: set yTerm[0], yTerm[1] back as 30,15 after the for loop.
                      if (rOller1 <= 2)
                           // for statement loops last repayment option
                           for (rPay = 1; rPay <=3; rPay++)
                                    {mPayment[lPay] = mPayment[lPay1++];
                                     yTerm[rOller2] = yTerm[rOller3++];
                                     mTerm[rOller] = mTerm[rOller1++];
                                     iRate[liRate] = iRate[liRate1++];
                                //Output to screen for numerical repayment option info
                              System.out.println("    " + rPay + "\t    $" + fappAmount + "\t\t " + yTerm[rOller2] + "\t" + mTerm[rOller] + "\t    " + decimal.format(iRate[liRate]) + "% \t$" + decimal.format(mPayment[lPay])+ "\n\n");
                           yTerm [0]=30;
                           yTerm [1]=15;
                              }Futher the issue is with monthly calculation of pay back amount in switch - case statement.
    As you have not provided what the problem is and what is the criteria for calculation of monthly interest or reducing the amount etc. Its not possible (at least for me) to tell you why it would run to negative. Mathematically that is the only thing possible,
    Step 1: make those changes in your code. Make changes required to claculate the balance.
    Step 2: Execute the new code and
    Step 3: Gimme the dukes.
    Cheers

  • Please help a complete newbie get to grips with website project

    Hi all,
           I've been following a lynda.com tutorial called Creating a First Web Site with Dreamweaver CS6. I have limited HTML and CSS knowledge, but i thought i'd be fine if i didn't stray too much from the advice offered in this tutorial. The problem is, the tutorial is designed around creating a responsive website. Whereas the site i'd already designed in Illustrator uses fixed width & height type rusted metallic backgrounds and boxes that the text sits on is mean't to sit on. Anyway, all was going well until i hit the section that deals with creating a mobile layout; in particular a mobile.css. Obviously my fixed parameter boxes, created in illustrator, don't adapt to being scaled down from their original settings.
    I hope i'm making some kind of sense, since i've had very little sleep because the little one has a cold.
    So my question is, do i create a whole new mobile layout in illustrator? So for example my desktop background is 1366x1000, so i''d want to scale this down to 480x800 for mobile. Likewise the same for the rusted metallic text boxes. The header box at the top of the page is 940px by 185px, so i'd create one that's roughly (just a crude guesstimate) 380px by 85px etc etc. I've uploaded a still shot of my project here, so you get a better idea of what 'm talking about - http://imageshack.us/f/15/ba9t.jpg/

    As you can see my knowledge of coding is abysmal, i'm definitely more of a designer than a developer. Can any one of you benevolent, intelligent and hopefully patient individuals please offer me some help and advice on how to progress, and also how to clean this cluster f*ck of a nightmare coding up. So that i can transform this into a decent desktop/mobile website. Do i have to create a whole new mobile website. and some how link to it? So that a device trying to view this on a smaller resolution automatically accesses the mobile version. How would i proceed with this?
    Thanks again for any help you can offer me, it's most appreciated

    Hi & welcome to the Dreamweaver Forums!
    Illustrator or Photoshop are OK for making images and design comps.  But don't use them to generate code.  The code is hopelessly rigid and unstable; not suitable for use on real web sites.
    You'll be doing yourself a huge favor if you close DW for about a week and learn everything you can about HTML, CSS and web design theory.  Without a working knowledge of fundamentals, DW is going to be a frustratingly steep learning curve.   If you come to grips with code first, DW is fairly easy to learn.
    Tutorials sites:
    http://www.html.net/
    http://w3schools.com/
    http://www.csstutorial.net/

    http://webdesign.tutsplus.com/sessions/web-design-theory/
    #1 Don't paint yourself into a box.  Web pages need to be flexible to work in different displays and devices. 
    #2 Page height is determined by content; not explicit values.  Your CSS layout needs to be built in such a way as to accommodate both long and short pages.  Otherwise it will fall apart when visitors change their browser settings. 
    #3 Positioning (APDivs or Layers) are pure poison in primary layouts.  98% of what you do requires no positioning whatsoever.  Learn to use CSS floats and margins to align elements.
    #4 Start with one of the pre-built CSS Layouts in DW.  Go to File > New > Blank page > HTML.  Choose a layout from the 3rd panel and hit the Create Button.  SaveAs index.html.  Add your own images, text and CSS backgrounds.  Examine the HTML & CSS code in Split View to learn how the page is structured.
    Feel free to post back if your run into any problems.
    Good luck!

  • Aspect ratio help for a newbie?

    Hi Everyone,
    I've got a Sony DCR SR-32 camera (please don't laugh ) and shooting in its HQ mode, (9Mb/s) and 16:9 aspect ratio.
    I can import the footage into iMovie and make a movie with no problems. But I've just bought FCE and am struggling to get the footage imported at the correct 16:9 aspect ratio. After trawling the discussions I've tried the log and transfer method, and all the other relevant discussion on importing AVCHD files directly into FCE but no success (I get file opening error ?). So I'm bringing the footage into iMovie, exporting it from iMovie as an FCE XML file and opening that using PAL anamorphic or NTSC anamorphic Easy setups.
    Even so, I've got what looks like 16:9 video squeezed into a 4:3 aspect ratio with black boarders on either side padding it out back to the 16:9 size.
    I'd welcome any advice other than "get a new camera "

    Hi Tom, I seem to have a similar problem, not sure if you've seen this, but I have the new canon vixia hg 21 which is avchd and FCP 6 isn't recognizing it either. Using Imovie to recognize the files works fine, the problem is that when you export from imovie '08 into FCP via xml, it imports fine, but I also get the same display issue with the black bars surrounding the footage, only in the canvas. It appears fine in the viewer and in it's own sequence in the timeline. But when you mix the different camera footage together, the other being the Canon XH A1, it appears as a different aspect ratio??? What the?
    ANy help would be greatly appreciated!

  • Help Needed for Newbie

    I am reformatting the hard drive for a Powerbook G4. Everything seems to have gone fine until I tried reinstalling the software that came with the powerbook. It doesnt recognize the hard disk, its completely blank when I am supposed to select a destination. I removed the hard drive and attached it via USB cable to a powermac and it detects the drive that way. I reinstalled the hard drive in the powerbook and again as an external. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    OK, then, try the following using your 10.4 Installer DVD (Tiger):
    1. Boot from the Tiger DVD. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status in the bottom status bar of DU. Be sure it says "Verified." Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
    After formatting has completed you should quit DU and return to the installer. Now proceed with the installation. When you reach the point for selecting the destination your hard drive should now appear and be selectable.
