Help - sharing bean between java classes

Hello,
I have a java application that has a bean named drBean;
I have a login class and a menu class
The login class validates the user and populates the drBean, it then disposes the login form.
The menu form shows null for the drBean
How do I code a Bean to share between application forms?
Thanks
Frank

I think I got this working.
I was trying to create a bean in form 1 and reference it in form2
All I had to do was create a class that had static variables.
No need to do myclass p = new myclass()
just reference the variable by the class name like myclass.name = "Frank"
Thanks
Frank

  • Difference between Java class and JavaBean?

    What is the difference between a Java class and a JavaBean?
    A class has variables which hold state.
    A class has methods which can do things (like change state).
    And if I understand a JavaBean it is rather like a BIG class...
    i.e.
    A JavaBean has variables which hold state.
    A JavaBean has methods which can do things (like change state).
    So, what's the difference between the two?
    And in case it helps...What is the crossover point between the two? Is there a minimalist type JavaBean which is the same as a class? What is the difference between Java beans and Enterprise Java Beans?
    Thanks.

    Introspection, as I understand it is a bunch of
    methods which allows me to ask what a class can do
    etc. right? So, if I implement a bunch of
    introspection methods for my class then my class
    becomes a JavaBean?Introspection allows a builder tool to discover a Bean's properties, methods, and events, either by:
    Following design patterns when naming Bean features which the Introspector class examines for these design patterns to discover Bean features.
    By explicitly providing the information with a related Bean Information class (which implements the BeanInfo interface).
    I understand now they are completely different.
    Thanks. Very clear.
    I do not understand how they are completely different.
    In fact I don't have a clue what the differences are
    other than to quote what you have written. In your
    own words, what is the difference? This is the "New
    to Java Technology" forum ;-) and I'm new to these
    things.In that case ejbs are way too advanced for you, so don't worry about it.

  • Help Needed in Creating Java Class and Java Stored Procedures

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell how can i create Java Class, Java Source and Java Resource in Oracle Database.
    I have seen the Documents. But i couldn't able to understand it correctly.
    I will be helpful when i get some Examples for creating a Java Class, Java Source and Stored Procedures with Java with details.
    Is that possible to Create a Java class in the oracle Database itself ?.
    Where are the files located for the existing Java Class ?..
    Help Needed Please.
    Thanks,
    Murali.v

    Hi Murali,
    Heres a thread which discussed uploading java source file instead of runnable code on to the database, which might be helpful :
    Configure deployment to a database to upload the java file instead of class
    The files for the java class you created in JDev project is located in the myworks folder in jdev, eg, <jdev_home>\jdev\mywork\Application1\Project1\src\project1
    Hope this helps,
    Sunil..

  • StreamCorruptedException from Stateless Session bean to java class

    Hi all,
    We have 2 servers, a ColdFusion App server which contains suns jdk 1.4.2 and websphere appserver using Ibm jdk, 1.4.2. On Server 1, we have a standalone java class which does a stateless session bean lookup and requests a service from it. On server 2(websphere), we have a stateless session bean deployed which connects to a database using a jndi lookup, executes a query and returns back a CachedRowSet object (which populates the ResultSet from the above query.) In some cases, session bean returns back an array of objects or String objects or just plain int values.
    When the java class on server 1 invokes the methods returning CachedRowSet, we are getting a StreamCorruptedException, whereas on the server side, there is no exception. everything gets executed fine on websphere. This is the case only for CachedRowSet and not for other return types(as mentioned earlier the session bean returns an array of object in some cases which the java class on server 1 is successfully able to use).
    This is what the piece of code look like on server 1:
    // First gets a StatelessSessionBean using suns InitialContextFactory
    Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
    env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.cosnaming.CNCtxFactory");
    env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"iiop://localhost:2809");
    System.out.println("Creating initial context");
    Context ctx = new InitialContext(env);
    System.out.println("Initial context created.");
    Object homeObj = ctx.lookup("cell/nodes/localhost/servers/server1/ejb/SSBHome");
    SSBHome eHome = (SSBHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(homeObj,SSBHome.class);
    System.out.println("Got Home");
    SSB eBean = eHome.create();
    CachedRowSet crs = eBean.getAccts(param1, param2);
    //This is the line of code which throws the exception.
    The stacktrace shoows as follows:
    Got Home

    Again, everything seems to work fine on websphere server.
    Any Clue of why this is happening?
    All suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Sorry for the confusion!
    The solution mentioned above is not the right solution.
    The above given code works fine irrespective of having corbaloc in the url, if you are working in the IBMs jvm.
    It fails if you are working in suns jvm.
    Anyone with any idea whats missing here.
    Thanks a lot for any suggestion/ideas

  • Pass table rowtype between java class and PL/SQL package

    I am a complete newbie when it comes to java itself but I've been asked to investigate the possibility of passing a rowtype datatype from a PL/SQL package to a java class and vice versa.
    I have heard of oracle.sql.ArrayDescriptor as an option but this appears to address only SQL types that are defined outside of a package.
    I'm talking about using, say, SCOTT.EMP%rowtype instead of a user-defined type. I'm thinking that a java array could be defined from the definition of a table in the database but I don't know what class would be appropriate.
    Could someone provide a simple proof-of-concept example that shows how you could use a java array to pass data to a package that is expecting a table rowtype variable and conversely a java class that reads the rowtype returned into a java array?
    Would oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDatabaseMetaData be a way of doing this?
    Thanks!

    Kuassi:
    <br><br>
    Not at all. I didn't feel like you misled me at all. I'm grateful for your help. I think that maybe I failed to describe my problem adequately in the first place.
    <br><br>
    Perhaps I've also gotten stuck on the term <i>ref cursor</i>.
    <br><br> At any rate, the people I'm gathering information for have further refined their requirement. We want to take a collection of data and send it to a procedure. It doesn't have to be a "ref cursor" or "%rowtype" per se, but something that is maintainable and workable from both ends.
    <br><br>
    For example, to use the old SCOTT/TIGER paradigm, let's suppose we have a website where you can indicate which employees work for a given department. The website allows us to fill in information for multiple employees at once. We want to use a servlet that gathers all the employees data and sends it on through to a PL/SQL package so that the data is validated and committed in the database.<br><br>
    Perhaps the java servlet should handle the multiple employee records as an array? If so, how can a PL/SQL procedure be made to recognize that construct?<br><br>
    I can accept that java cannot create a "ref cursor" type to send information to a package, but might this be possible via some other implementation?
    <br><br>
    Hopefully this is a little more clear. If not, please let me know and I'll try to inject more details as to what we are trying to accomplish.
    <br><br>
    Once again, thanks for your persistent replies and help.

  • Question about main difference between Java bean and Java class in JSP

    Hi All,
    I am new to Java Bean and wonder what is the main difference to use a Bean or an Object in the jsp. I have search on the forum and find some post also asking the question but still answer my doubt. Indeed, what is the real advantage of using bean in jsp.
    Let me give an example to illustrate my question:
    <code>
    <%@ page errorPage="errorpage.jsp" %>
    <%@ page import="ShoppingCart" %>
    <!-- Instantiate the Counter bean with an id of "counter" -->

    Your cart's ID is: <%=cart.getId()%>.
    </body>
    <html>
    </code>
    In the above code, I can also create a object of ShoppingCart by new operator then get the id at the following way.
    <code>
    <%
    ShoppingCart cart = new ShoppingCart();
    out.println(cart.getId());
    %>
    </code>
    Now my question is what is the difference between the two method? As in my mind, a normal class can also have it setter and getter methods for its properties. But someone may say that, there is a scope="session", which can be declared in an normal object. It may be a point but it can be easily solved but putting the object in session by "session.setAttribute("cart", cart)".
    I have been searching on this issue on the internet for a long time and most of them just say someting like "persistance of state", "bean follow some conventions of naming", "bean must implement ser" and so on. All of above can be solved by other means, for example, a normal class can also follow the convention. I am really get confused with it, and really want to know what is the main point(s) of using the java bean.
    Any help will be highly apprecaited. Thanks!!!

    Hi All,
    I am new to Java Bean and wonder what is the main
    difference to use a Bean or an Object in the jsp. The first thing to realize is that JavaBeans are just Plain Old Java Objects (POJOs) that follow a specific set of semantics (get/set methods, etc...). So what is the difference between a Bean and an Object? Nothing.
    <jsp:useBean id="cart" scope="session" class="ShoppingCart" />
    In the above code, I can also create a object of
    ShoppingCart by new operator then get the id at the
    following way.
    ShoppingCart cart = new ShoppingCart();
    out.println(cart.getId());
    ...Sure you could. And if the Cart was in a package (it has to be) you also need to put an import statement in. Oh, and to make sure the object is accessable in the same scope, you have to put it into the PageContext scope. And to totally equal, you first check to see if that object already exists in scope. So to get the equivalant of this:
    <jsp:useBean id="cart" class="my.pack.ShoppingCart"/>Then your scriptlet looks like this:
    <%@ page import="my.pack.ShoppingCart %>
    <%
      ShoppingCart cart = pageContext.getAttribute("cart");
      if (cart == null) {
        cart = new ShoppingCart();
        pageContext.setAttribute("cart", cart);
    %>So it is a lot more work.
    As in my mind, a normal class can also
    have it setter and getter methods for its properties.True ... See below.
    But someone may say that, there is a scope="session",
    which can be declared in an normal object.As long as the object is serializeable, yes.
    It may be
    a point but it can be easily solved but putting the
    object in session by "session.setAttribute("cart",
    cart)".Possible, but if the object isn't serializable it can be unsafe. As the point I mentioned above, the useBean tag allows you to check if the bean exists already, and use that, or make a new one if it does not yet exist in one line. A lot easier than the code you need to use otherwise.
    I have been searching on this issue on the internet
    for a long time and most of them just say someting
    like "persistance of state", "bean follow some
    conventions of naming", "bean must implement ser" and
    so on. Right, that would go along the lines of the definition of what a JavaBean is.
    All of above can be solved by other means, for
    example, a normal class can also follow the
    convention. And if it does - then it is a JavaBean! A JavaBean is any Object whose class definition would include all of the following:
    1) A public, no-argument constructor
    2) Implements Serializeable
    3) Properties are revealed through public mutator methods (void return type, start with 'set' have a single Object parameter list) and public accessor methods (Object return type, void parameter list, begin with 'get').
    4) Contain any necessary event handling methods. Depending on the purpose of the bean, you may include event handlers for when the properties change.
    I am really get confused with it, and
    really want to know what is the main point(s) of
    using the java bean.JavaBeans are normal objects that follow these conventions. Because they do, then you can access them through simplified means. For example, One way of having an object in session that contains data I want to print our might be:
    <%@ page import="my.pack.ShoppingCart %>
    <%
      ShoppingCart cart = session.getAttribute("cart");
      if (cart == null) {
        cart = new ShoppingCart();
        session.setAttribute("cart", cart);
    %>Then later where I want to print a total:
    <% out.print(cart.getTotal() %>Or, if the cart is a JavaBean I could do this:
    <jsp:useBean id="cart" class="my.pack.ShoppingCart" scope="session"/>
    Then later on:
    <jsp:getProperty name="cart" property="total"/>
    Or perhaps I want to set some properties on the object that I get off of the URL's parameter group. I could do this:
    <%
      ShoppingCart cart = session.getAttribute("cart");
      if (cart == null) {
        cart = new ShoppingCart();
        cart.setCreditCard(request.getParameter("creditCard"));
        cart.setFirstName(request.getParameter("firstName"));
        cart.setLastName(request.getParameter("lastName"));
        cart.setBillingAddress1(request.getParameter("billingAddress1"));
        cart.setBillingAddress2(request.getParameter("billingAddress2"));
        cart.setZipCode(request.getParameter("zipCode"));
        cart.setRegion(request.getParameter("region"));
        cart.setCountry(request.getParameter("country"));
        pageContext.setAttribute("cart", cart);
        session.setAttribute("cart", cart);
      }Or you could use:
    <jsp:useBean id="cart" class="my.pack.ShoppingCart" scope="session">
      <jsp:setProperty name="cart" property="*"/>
    </jsp:useBean>The second seems easier to me.
    It also allows you to use your objects in more varied cases - for example, JSTL (the standard tag libraries) and EL (expression language) only work with JavaBeans (objects that follow the JavaBeans conventions) because they expect objects to have the no-arg constuctor, and properties accessed/changed via getXXX and setXXX methods.

  • Help - Sharing media between different accounts on single iMac not working

    So, we have an iMac with 2 user accounts.  We wanted to simply share the media between accounts and I read these instructions from Apple Support which are very straightforward and easy enough to follow.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1203
    Basically, the article states you move the "iTunes Media" folder into the Public or other Shared file location and then you point each user account's copy of iTunes to that specific location for the iTunes media folder in preferences/advanced menu.
    All of that was very simple and worked great, but the only problem is on the 2nd user account when I re-open iTunes, none of that media is there.  I checked again inside the 2nd user iTunes preferences/advanced and it is definitely pointing to the right place.  Per the specific instructions in the article, I tried both ~/Public as well as the Users/Shared too - both times I can see it fine from the main account but nothing from the 2nd user account.
    Does anyone have any suggestions??  Thanks!

    Adam,
    iPhoto was not designed to be a multi-user application. While you can let other accounts view your photo collection by sharing, it gets messy when more than one owner has add and delete capabilities.
    Having said that, you could probably do a similar thing with the iPhoto Library folder as what you've described with iTunes. Refer to the iPhoto Help topic "Moving the iPhoto Library to a new location".

  • Help Sharing Music between profiles?

    I am computer incompetent so I need a little help..
    I have a computer that I am the administrator on and two of my kids each have a profile.
    I want to download the music while on my profile and then be able to import or share that music on their profile so they can manage their own ipods and playlists...
    I cant seem to make this work...the songs I download show up in my library but not theirs and when I try to import from their profile, it denies me access to my itunes folder from their profile.
    any suggestions?
      Windows XP  

    From what I can recall reading you can't update an iPod with music from a shared folder.
    This article describes the methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
    Just to summarise what's in the link above:
    Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries.
    Method two is to set your preferences so that either one or both iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library: Loading songs onto iPod automatically
    Another option when using a single library is to set one or both of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod

    I know if I select the "Advance" tab instead of the "WINS" tab and then select Windows from the dropdown window it provides an option for me to use SMB//
    Yes, that is correct. The SMB URL can be one of the following:
    smb://computername/printer_sharename
    or
    smb://workgroup/computername/printer_sharename
    - this can be used when the Mac is on a different workgroup to the PC sharing the printer
    or
    smb://ipaddress/printer_sharename
    - this can be helpful as it doesn't rely on LM announce to find a computer
    The last key to this setup is to use a driver that will support a cross-platform connection. Some drivers only work with direct USB connections, so you may have to look at using a CUPS-based driver like those offered by Gutenprint.

  • Mapping java classes to XML files

    Hi Friends !!
    Please I need your help.
    Does somebody out there know any framework or API that helps me to map Java classes to XML files.
    Something like:

        public int x;
        public int y;
        public int sum(){}
    }to something like:

    Any tips?
    Thanks in advance

    JAXB will create classes from an XML schema, SAX is a parser library and JAXP is a library of XML a bunch of XML tools.
    I don't care for JAXB too much. I would skip it and go right to the JAX-RPC spec (WebServices).

  • Can i Use java Class

    Can any help, can i use java class in
    froms 6 or any one have designed form
    of progress bar please help me

    Thanks for your reply...
    Actually the task is quite simple... It requires me to do a better interface for a tomcat server folders...
    For example, users are free to access
    http://apache.oss.eznetsols.org/jakarta/tomcat-5/v5.0.12-beta/
    to download the tomcat... However, its index may not nice and easy for browing.. Therefore, the task requires a new dynamic page to access this server folder, and get all file names under this folder, anlaysis whether it is file or directory..and finally get its path....
    It is quite easy to do a JSP page, but I don't know whether it is possible to do by using JavaScript .... Although JS is running in client side, the user/client also can access the tomcat folder, why not JavaScript?
    Thanks a lot!

  • Is there any difference between java Beans and general class library?

    Hello,
    I know a Java Bean is just a java object. But also a general class instance is also a java object. So can you tell me difference between a java bean and a general class instance? Or are the two just the same?
    I assume a certain class is ("abc.class")
    Second question is is it correct that we must only use the tag <jsp:useBean id="obj" class="abc.class" scope="page" /> when we are writng jsp program which engage in using a class?Any other way to use a class( create object)? such as use the java keyword "new" inside jsp program?

    a bean is a Java class, but a Java class does not have to be a bean. In other words a bean in a specific Java class and has rules that have to be followed before you have a bean--like a no argument constructor. There are many other features of beans that you may implement if you so choose, but read over the bean tutorial and you'll see, there is a lot to a bean that is just not there for many of the Java classes.
    Second question: I'll defer to someone else, I do way to little JSP's to be able to say "must only[\b]".
