Help on Writing Java Application to be used in a different Language.

Hi. I want to write application which can be used in different languages.Currently my application uses English as its default Langauge.
I want to give the user a option to change the language.
I think it can be done using a resource file. But I am not sure where to exactly start. Could some one give me any Ideas how it is done. Guide me please. Or give me a link to any tutorial or something.
Thank you

Hi,
you would need to put string constants in a file ending with .properties. From out of your application you replace all string constants with calls to a ResourceBundle class you'd have to instantiate for the .properties file.
ResourceBundles use a certain namin convention combining an arbitrary name with a locale such as _de for a german system for instance.
See the API docs at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/util/ResourceBundle.html
You can see an open source example of an application running in different locales at http://www.lightdev.com/dev/sh.htm

HTML Help in a JAVA Application?

Hope someone can answer this question. I thought that there
was a way to use HTML Help with a JAVA application, but I am being
advised by my programmer that I must use JAVA Help. I don't have a
problem with using RoboHelp to convert my HTML Help file to JAVA
Help but I do have very serious concerns about the finished output.
In a word, it is "ugly." Numbers do not align properly with text,
bullets are huge, bolded words do not come over bolded, text only
popups appear as huge windows and the list goes on... Any help will
be greatly appreciated!
Regarads,
Fran

Our Java applications work just fine with webhelp. See the
topic on my site.

Help please! Java application and web application...

Hi,
I have a problem with inserting a java application (Main.java) in a web application(index.jsp).
I found a source demo of a drag and drop application on the Internet, but now I want to
have the drag and drop application work in a Jpanel/JFrame in a webapplication.
The drag and drop application code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.border.*;
public class Main {
    public static void main(final String[] args) {
        final ButtonGroup grp = new ButtonGroup();
        final JPanel palette = new JPanel(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));
        palette.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder("Palette"));
        final MainPanel mainPanel = new MainPanel();
        mainPanel.setPalette(palette);
        for(int j=0; j<4; j++){
            final JToggleButton btn = new JToggleButton("Panel "+(j+1));
            palette.add(btn);
            grp.add(btn);

}This application works with JFrame, but I want to display the JFrame in a webapplication (JSP Page).
I'm using Netbeans 6.0 (GlassFish) to create webapplication using Visual Web JavaServer Faces.
So in summary:
How can i display the drag and drop application into a JFrame (better in a JPanel) in a webapplication (index.jsp)??
Hope you can help...
Thanks in advance...
Greetings,
Rajsh

So have an applet that opens a JFrame... JSP or not has nothing to do with it, since it's nothing but HTML the client gets.
You can't have a JFrame embedded in an HTML page. And if you could have an applet but don't know how to get that copied code to fit inside (I mean, content pane is content pane), you might want to consider learning how to do that.

Calling java application from jsp using onUnload

I have tried to find the answer to this by searching many jsp, js and java forums, but have not had much luck. I hope someone here can help out. I have written a jsp page that passes a sql string to a java application when it loads. That application creates an xml file (a report) and returns the filename, which is the target of an onclick event. What I want to do, is to delete the file when the page unloads. I have written a separate application that will delete the file, but onclick and onunload events apparently only take JavaScript commands. I have tried to embed the jsp code into an onunload event, but it runs when the page is originally loaded. In addition, I created a separate jsp page that deletes the file, and I call that page onunload using window.open(). I can set that page to self.close(), but I can't get the page to not show itself. Even if I set the height and width to 0 (or 1), it seems to appear 100X100. Can anyone give me any suggestions on what to do in this situation? Thanks.

When my jsp page loads, I create the file using this code:
String filename = printtasktest.createxml(closed,encodedSQLString);
printtasktest is a java application on the server, that
creates a file on the server, and passes the filename back to the jsp page. Later I use this filename as a target of an onclick event:
<div class="button" onclick="printTask('<%=filename%>')">Print This Page</div>
printTask() is a javascript function that opens the printable page using window.print() and self.close().
The problem I have is that the file hangs around after, and I want to delete it when the user leaves the page.

Steps involved in writing java application on win CE

I want to develop a java application in win CE platform for a handheld device.
1. What are all the steps involved.
2. Is there any simulator available for win CE so that I can run my java application.

The way I developed my first app for the Compaq iPAQ
1. Install PersonalJava
2. Build app using AWT classes only (although I think SWING can be used)
3. Screen size 240 x 295 (thats what I used)
4. Compile and run on PC
5. Move to PPC (fingers crossed)
6. You may want to add an app.LNK file (kinda like a *.bat file) to setup classpath and file args
Sun has a compatibility suite you can run against your app to make sure it is PJava compliant. http://java.sun.com/products/personaljava/javacheck.html
Also make sure you don't use classes/methods that aren't supported
There is a PJava emulkation environment, but I never used it.

5800: Java applications do not use Wifi connection

Using my 5800 phone, Java applications (e.g. Opera Mini) always use a 3G connection despite Wifi is available.
When I moved the 3G access point to another section under 'Destinations' in my connectivity setup, so I left
only Wifi connections in my 'Internet' section, Java applications do not connect to the internet anymore.
I want to let me select preferably Wifi when available.
Other applications (Web, Google Maps) work correctly.
Any ideas on this ?
Nokia 5800
FW 30.0.011

The only java app that I had that issue with was opera mini.
Solved it by doing this:
Menu > Settings > Application Mgr. > Installed Apps. > Select "Opera Mini" > Options > Suite Settings > Access Point
I then selected my wireless router.
Soon after I decided that opera mini was more trouble than it's worth due the sites that didn't work properly and switched back to the standard browser.
The setting above should work for other java apps that don't behave too, each app retains it's own individual settings.

Executing a java application from c++ using jni

hi,
how do i execute a java application from c++ ?. it should behave similar to typing 'java abc.class' at the dos prompt.
i've done up till recognizing the method id. GetStaticMethodID(). I tried using CallStaticVoidMethod() but didnt work. are there any other methods i should be using?

Look at the source code to the "java" command that is included in the sources that come with the JDK. Since it is the exact code that is run when you type java at the command line, it should be close to what you want.

How do I bundle fonts with my java application?

I have a strange problem... I'm writing a java application with GUI (using swing btw, but that doesn't have anything to do with it :) ) and I'm using some fonts that obviously aren't standard on all operating systems. That's too sad, because now my program looks different in different environments.
Now, the logical solution would be to load the fonts to be used from files included in the distribution package... but I can't find any way to do that! Just creating a Font object doesn't let you choose to take it from a file... but rather from the operating system itself. (Heck, I thought java was supposed to be independent from the OS.) So what do I do now? It would be really nice to be able to write programs that look the same in all environments, without being restricted to using the five (was it five?) standard java fonts...
I'm desperate! This should be an easy problem to solve... with all the wonderful features of the java API there should be an easy way to do this.
I just can't find it...
Please... help! :) If you know a soultion, you could for example send me an email... at [email protected]
/Erik (crazy Swede)

you may load the System font list and then check if your GUI fonts are available, or use a predefined index a this list...
example:
GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
// That�s the OS font list
String[] fontNames = ge.getAvailableFontFamilyNames();
JComboBox fontList = new JComboBox(fontNames);hint: the Serif and Roman fonts are JVM native ones... and you may use them at any OS...

Just finished my first Java application. What's next?

Thanks to the kind help from everyone on this forum and some intensive labor for the last couple of months, I've finally given birth to my first Java application. I used Netbeans as my IDE of choice. During the development stages I would run my project directly from the IDE. In the project folder, a total of five folders were created: build, dist, nbproject, src, and test as well as two files build.xml and manifest.mf.
Being a newbie in this field, I was wondering about the remaining steps needed to distribute the application. Here are some questions that come to mind:
1) I know I can simply just double-click the project's *.jar* file to get it work. Is that the norm with Java applications or do I need to create a different file? I'm used to seeing *.exe* files. I'm also used to seeing an installation process, which brings me to my next question.
2) Do you simply just zip the entire project folder and allow people to download it on their computer hoping they know how to access the *.jar* file?
3) Seeing that I've only been testing the application in Netbeans, will there be file path or classpath problems if I run it on other computers? Are there necessary steps I need to follow to avoid such problems?
4) Do you take any precautionary steps to protect your code? Do you lock the folders?
5) In the future, if I decide to add a small fee to download the application, how hard would it be to add a password activation feature? (I know this could get pretty complex)
Thanks in advance for all your suggestions.

2) Do you simply just zip the entire project folder and allow people to download it on their computer hoping they know how to access the *.jar* file?You can do. There are also installation utilities around. InstallAnywhere is the only one I've ever used, but others do exist.
3) Seeing that I've only been testing the application in Netbeans, will there be file path or classpath problems if I run it on other computers? Are there necessary steps I need to follow to avoid such problems?Probably. The best way to avoid them is to test them, and to not ever depend on the CLASSPATH environment variable. That's a portability nightmare.
4) Do you take any precautionary steps to protect your code? Do you lock the folders? Nope.
5) In the future, if I decide to add a small fee to download the application, how hard would it be to add a password activation feature? (I know this could get pretty complex) Don't bother. Unless you've got something amazing, in which case you'll be needing lawyers, it's not worth the trouble of charging for it. No offence, but your first Java app is hardly going to set the world on fire anyway.
No matter what you try and do to stop people stealing your code, they'll manage it. Or, alternatively, just steal your idea instead.

This statement appears to prevent re-distribution which would seem to negate the purpose of providing this file in the first place. How are other users dealing with this?
Thanks,
David

Hi David. You'll have seen that various people have responded to the same query on the HATT forum. If I were you I'd stick to asking RoboHelp related queries here in future.
For anyone else who may have a similar issue in the future, the consensus seems to be that your RH licence gives you the right to redistribute whatever file is required to access the help. However changing a file would be a copyright contravention. If in doubt, contact Adobe Support.
