How can I create an instance of "java.util.prefs.WindowsPreferences"?

Hi All,
I was trying to find out a way to access the Windows Registry to add soome keys and and later add a string.
I found WindowsPreferences might be useful in the above mentioned context.
I was trying to create an instance of it, but when I import the class, it says it is invisible.
Can anyone let me know how to instantiate this class.
Note:- Under the same package "java.util.prefs" we have another class "Preferences", Iam able to import this one and use it in my code.
Thank You.
Regards,
Suman.H

It's true that Preferences uses the Registry on Windows systems, that does not mean you can use it as a Registry API. The only part of the Registry you can access are those branches that are set aside for java.util.prefs: HKLM\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs and HKCU\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs. IF you need to access other parts of the Registry, you'll need to use JNI or a separate Windows Registry library.

  • How can you create an instance of a class using ClassLoader given only

    the class name as a String. I have the code below in the try block.
    Class myTest = this.getClass().getClassLoader().loadClass("Testclass");
    Object obj = myTest.newInstance();
    String className = obj.getClass().getName();I don't want to typecast the class like
    Testclass obj = (TestClass) myTest.newInstance();I want to be able to create the classs at runtime and then get the methods in the class and execute those methods. Can it be done without having to code the typecasting in before compile time?

    I read on the web of people creating objects from interfacesDoesn't sound like the thing to do... Theoretically you could create dummy classes on the fly that implement some interface, but that's not very useful.
    Sounds like you are trying to load classes and execute them via interfaces. Like this:
         Class clazz = Class.forName("java.util.LinkedList");
         Collection c = (Collection) clazz.newInstance();
         c.add("hello");
         c.add("world");
         System.out.println(Arrays.toString(c.toArray()));LinkedList is the class, Collection is the interface which LinkedList implements. You can then call the methods declared in the interface. The interface gets "compiled in" into the program and the classes that implement it get loaded whenever and from wherever you load them.
    You could also use reflection to call methods without an interface, but that is type-unsafe, inelegant, hackish, and just plain ugly.

  • Can't create log file with java.util.logging

    Hi,
    I have created a class to create a log file with java.util.logging
    This class works correctly as standalone (without jdev/weblogic)
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.text.DateFormat;
    import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
    import java.util.Date;
    import java.util.logging.*;
    public class LogDemo
         private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger( "Logging" );
         public static void main( String[] args ) throws IOException
             Date date = new Date();
             DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
             String dateStr = dateFormat.format(date);
             String logFileName = dateStr + "SEC" + ".log";
             Handler fh;          
             try
               fh = new FileHandler(logFileName);
               //fh.setFormatter(new XMLFormatter());
               fh.setFormatter(new SimpleFormatter());
               logger.addHandler(fh);
               logger.setLevel(Level.ALL);
               logger.log(Level.INFO, "Initialization log");
               // force a bug
               ((Object)null).toString();
             catch (IOException e)
                  logger.log( Level.WARNING, e.getMessage(), e );
             catch (Exception e)
                  logger.log( Level.WARNING, "Exception", e);
    }But when I use this class...
    import java.io.File;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.text.DateFormat;
    import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
    import java.util.Date;

    import java.util.logging.Level;
    import java.util.logging.Logger;
    import java.util.logging.XMLFormatter;
    public class TraceUtils
      public static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("log");
      public static void initLogger(String ApplicationName) {
        Date date = new Date();
        DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
        String dateStr = dateFormat.format(date);

        catch (IOException e)
          System.out.println(e.getMessage());
    }and I call it in a backingBean, I have the message in console but the log file is not created.
    TraceUtils.initLogger("SEC");why?
    Thanks for your help.

    I have uncommented this line in logging.properties and it works.
    # To also add the FileHandler, use the following line instead.
    handlers= java.util.logging.FileHandler, java.util.logging.ConsoleHandlerBut I have another problem:
    jdev ignore the parameters of the FileHandler method .
    And it creates a general log file with anothers log files created each time I call the method logp.
    So I play with these parameters
    fh = new FileHandler(logFileName,true);
    fh = new FileHandler(logFileName,0,1,true);
    fh = new FileHandler(logFileName,10000000,1,true);without succes.
    I want only one log file, how to do that?

  • How can I create a schedule in Java for sending mail from SAP?

    Hello;
    I am coding a programme in Java which reads data from KM. I wish to schedule a job which sends mail to a list of persons selected from KM. I read the article by Prakash Singh and based my programme on his explanations.
    /people/prakash.singh4/blog/2005/04/20/did-you-know-you-can-schedule-jobs-in-portal-using-kms-scheduler-task
    My first problem is that I don't know how to send mail in SAP, and how to use Java to send this mail. My second problem is how to develop this "schedule job" function - is it enough to use Prakash Singh's method, or does it need to be changed?
    Can anyone help me with these questions?
    Thank you very much, R.E.

    Please help me ..

    How can we use a XML Document to create an instance of Java Object and do vice versa ie from the Java Object creating the XML Document.

    Are there helper class available to achieve this.

    JAXB is part of JavaSE while Xmlbeans claims full schema support and full infoset fidelity.
    If the standard APIs do all that you need well then use them.

  • How many server nodes can you create per instance

    Hi,
    Very often the bottle neck in a java installation (NW04s) is the heap size. In order to increase the heap you simple create new server nodes.
    My question is:
    How many server nodes can you create per instance?
    Is there an upper limit before you have to create a new dialog instance (with a web dispatcher)?
    I can imagine that when you create a new server node you also have to increase the heap and max therad of the dispatcher. Is there any upper limit of the heap size of the dispatcher node ?

    Rasmus , I think you laid out a real good scenario for every one to contribute
    I may be very late but just updating this forum for benefit of everyone who visits this.
    In addition to all the points above one must also consider following things if one decides to add more server nodes to one dispatcher
    1.Garbage collection time
    2.Dispatcher would keep on sending request to node S2 if it is not completely bad and there by impacting all the servernode       so  you might end up restartiing the entire cluster.
    3,Debugging also becomes diffculy as you are not sure on which server node you are within the cluster.
    4.If you have something like F5 which does hear beat monitoring even one server node goes bad F5 will not report anything.
    So in my view one server node per dispatcher is an ideal configuration.
    Over All Dispatcher does not consume more resouces (Disk Space + CPU + memory ) at the same time it will give you maintenance flexibility.
    Nothing is right or wrong ,all these things are based on how your infrastructure set up is.

    If you simply create a pfile and startup nomount with it, then -in theory- you have an instance running ( this method is used e.g. for restoring a rman backup )
    2) You can't. Database files are bound to a certain instance. What you can do is recreate an instance with e.g. a different name, using the scripts generated by a 'alter database backup controlfile to trace;' command

  • How can i create messenger with java tv API on STB

    deal all.
    how can i create messenger with java tv API on STB.
    how can Xlets communicate each other?
    how?
    i am interested in xlet communications with java tv.
    is it impossible or not?
    help all..

    You can create a messenger-style application using JavaTV fairly easily. JavaTV supports standard java.net, and so any IP-based connection is pretty easy to do. The hard part of the application will be text input, but people have been using cellphone keypads to send SMS messages for long enough that they're familiar with doing this. This doesn't work well for long messages, where you really need a decent keyboard, but for short SMS-type messages it's acceptable.
    The biggest problem that you need to work around is the return channel. Many receivers only have a dial-up connection, ties up the phone line and potentially costs people money if they don't get free local calls. Always-on return channels (e.g. ADSL or cable modem) are still pretty uncommon, so it's something that you nee to think about. Of course, if you do have an always-on connection then this problem just goes away.
    This is really one of those cases that's technically do-able, but the infrastructure may not be there to give users a good experience.
