How to create a array of GUI components?

Hello, everyone!
I need help or advice how to create an GUI components array. As I remenber in VB this possible just by calling two or more buttons (for example) with the same name. The API will authomatically create an array: Buton[0], Button[1], Button[2] and so on...
In Java it possible as well:
JButton button[];
button = new JButton[10];
for ( int i = 1; i < 10; i++ ){
button[i] = new JButton();
....and so on....
But my problem is that I use Forte for Java v. 3.0 and when I using Frame Editor it does not allow me to call two components with the same name and at the same time does not allow to change the initialization code painted in blue color...
Does anyone knows how to avoid this, or how to create GUI components array in Forte for Java API using Frame Editor or Component Inspector???
All that I need is few buttons accessible by index ( button[1], button[2] etc.) I will apreciate any help or advise.
Thank you in advance,
Michael

I tried using Forte after having used Windows notepad and found that I
like notepad much better. If you seem to be having problems with Forte,
you might just try writing this portion of code in a regular text editor
and compiling it with a command line compiler. Hope this helps some.

How to create an Array of Button components in AS

First I tried this:
for (var j:uint = 0; j < 10; j++){
var testButton:Button = new Button;
testButton.label = "Test Button";
testButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
function():void{trace("j = " + j);});
addChild(testButton);
But every button's mouse click returns a trace of 10. I need
the button to be aware of it's index. How do I go about doing this?
I tried making an array:
var testButton:Array = [];
for (var j:uint = 0; j < 10; j++){
testButton[j]:Button = new Button;
testButton[j].label = "Test Button";
testButton[j].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
function():void{trace("j = " + j);});
addChild(testButton[j]);
But this gives a compile error:
"Label must be simple identifier"

You can use data property of the Button to store the index.
You can use a ButtonBar to keep track of your buttons as a
list.
You can write a clickHandler as a normal function -- as
opposed to anonymous one you have -- and pass the index of the
button that you have stored in the data property.
why you're not getting the behavior in the click handler that
you're looking for? You'll need to study the scope and context for
variables in Flex.
Hope this helps.

How to create an array using reflection.

How to create an array using reflection.
I want to achive something like this,Object o;
o = (Object)(new TestClass[10]);but by use of reflection.
To create a single object is simple:Object o;
o = Class.forName("TestClass").newInstance();But how do I create an array of objects, when the class of objects is known only by name? (Can't use Object[] because even though an Object[] array can be filled with "TestClass" elements only, it Cannot be casted to a TestClass[] array)
Anybody knows?":-)

How to create an array of linklists??? ... plz

Hi guys,
I am trying to create a Hash table. My link list is already working. But i am still confused about how to create any array linklist for solving the collisions. Do i need to create a new instance of the linklist for each array slot? What is the better way to do?
just need some hint to start it.
abdul

Yes, you need to create a new instace for each slot.
LinkedList[] ht = new LinkedList[size];
for(int x = 0; x < size; x++)
ht[x] = new LinkedList();

How to create an array variable

Hi folks,
I'm developing a flowN activity , for each branch created, I need to pass different values (values I get from DB).
For this my plan would be,
-create an array variable , load all the values(from DB) into the array
-pass the array to each branch in flowN activity based on the index
As I'm newbie to BPEL, I do not know how to create an array variable.
Could you people guide me please.
Regards
Viki

Hi,
I created my string array like
<element name="string_array">
<complexType>
<sequence>
<element name="input" type="string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
</element>
<variable name="arr" element="client:string_array"/>
I am able to add values to my array variable named as "arr"
When I use the following code snippet, it gives my the value of the entire list.
<%ora:getNodeValue(bpws:getVariableData('arr'))%>
But when I try retireve values one by one like <%ora:getElement('arr','/client:string_array/client:input',[0])%>, its giving me error.
Guide to get throu' this.

How to create an array in if/else or case structure without 0's ?

Hello,
I've been trying to do this for a while now.
I only managed to think of this in three ways:
1. (What I'm doing right now Create the array by going through a for loop, which populates the array by auto indexing. It populates with correct number if true and with a '0' if false. The idea was to delete the 0's later on in the code. This however seems highly ineffective.
2. Make use of a shift register, which automatically adds the correct number to an array. The problem is that the array will keep growing and growing and at the very least would tremendously slow down my program. At worst, it would crash.
So, my question is: How do I create an array that if a comparison is true, it puts the element in and if not it does nothing ?
I've attached a PNG snippet of my code.
Kind Regards,
David.
Solved!

You did not explain what "this" is. Can you give some typical inputs and expected outputs? Populate your controls and indicators with typical data and make it the default efore attaching.

Your code show three different comparisons. Which one are you talking about.
Pladio wrote:

That code makes very little sense. Why is there a shift register if the data in it never changes? What is the purpose of the inner FOR loop? Why are you creating a 2D array?
Do you want to remove all rows where the corersponding SD is zero, for example?

How to create an array in bpel?

I am trying to integrate a web service into open-esb. The web service consumes an unbounded array of a "userInfo" data structure. The issue is that although I can create bpel to receive a message like this, due to type incompatibilities I need to create a different array within bpel to pass to the webservice.
To date I have not found a way to create an array within open-esb's bpel. After extensive googling I have found that other ESBs define their own proprietary extensions to add nodes to an array.
Thus I have two questions:
First, does open-esb support creation of arrays? and if so, how do I create the array and add nodes to it?
Second, and perhaps more importantly, is using an <assign> activity the best way to transfer a potentially large array from one variable to another (i.e., will it perform well)? Or should I use XSLT to transform the array from one wsdl type to another? And if XSLT is the answer, how can I do this within open-esb?
Thanks in advance,
Steve
PS. Based on the various googlings Ive been doing this question seems to be frequently asked. If someone will help me find a solution I plan on writing a short "how-to" article for posting back to the community. Given that arrays are one of the most basic data structures I hope the article will be useful for others struggling with this issue.

I think this is all covered in Steve-Nies other thread concerning this subject, entitled "Need help with BPEL please" (http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5116270&tstart=0)

If you still want to do it in Netbeans, I suggest reading the manual. This is not a Netbeans product support forum, and I'm definitely not inclined to help as you don't want it done by writing code yourself.

How to create an array of Vectors ?

Can I create an array of vectors in Java ? For instance I want to have an array of days in a year, an on each day there are several things to do, and I don't know this up front, so I want it to be a Vector holding the things_to_do object, some days might have nothing to do, so there should be null or an empty vector for that day. So I came up with something like the following :
Vector<Things>[] Days_Array=new Vector<Things>[365];
But Java doesn't allow this ?
Frank

Opps , I forgot to ask, although it compiled successfully, but it gave me a warning : [unchecked] unchecked conversion
I wonder if there is a way to fix it without turning the warning off, what I meant is : Am I missing something that caused the warning that I should add to the code, I don't want to turn off the warning. For instance how can I make the "conversion" checked ?

How to create an array of ArrayLists?

Hello,
I'm trying to compile the following code:
ArrayList<Object> arr[];
arr = new ArrayList<Object>()[size];in order to create an array of ArrayLists. I'm being met with the following compilation error:
The type of this expression must be an array type but it resolved to ArrayList<Object>
Can anyone show me how to correctly do this?
Thanks

{color:#3D2B1F}This line:
List<Object>[] arr = new ArrayList<Object>[5];generates the compiler error: "generic array creation" (generics and arrays don't play well together)
Since you are just parameterizing with Object, you can use non-generic collections:
List[] arr = new ArrayList[5];Me? I don't like mixing arrays and collections. I would have a list of lists:
List<List<X>> matrix = new ArrayList<List<X>>();{color}

How to create an array with controls and indicators?

I want to create a scrollable array of control/indicator pairs from a config file. Something that looks like the attached image. Of course, I can only create an array that's either either a control or indicator -- not both (the operator should not be able to edit the name or change the state of the LED). So I guess I need to split the array and have two side-by-side and SOMEHOW link the scrollbars. But then I have no idea how I can get the control switch states from the array. Is there an easier way to do what I'm trying to do?

Hello,
Another option would be to use the custom control I built for you, see below. You can just drop this into an array, it should look like your example (more or less).

How to create an array of generics?

I have the following snippet of code using array of vectors:
Vector[] tmpArr = new Vector[n];
for(int j=0; j<n; j++)
tmpArr[j] = new Vector();
String str = ...
if (!tmpArr[j].contains(str))
tmpArr[j].add(str);
And I want to convert to generics:
Vector<String>[] tmpArr = new Vector<String>[n];
for(int j=0; j<n; j++)
tmpArr[j] = new Vector<String>();
String str = ....
if (!tmpArr[j].contains(str))
tmpArr[j].add(str);
But the first row gives me an error:
-->Generic array creation.
If I change it in
Vector<String>[] tmpArr = new Vector<String>[n];
(as I've seen in a pdf by G.Bracha talking aout collections)
it gives me the error:
-->cannot find symbol
-->method add(String)
in the
tmpArr[j].add(str);
row.
The only way it seems to work is
Vector<String>[] tmpArr = new Vector[n];
but it gives me the unchecked conversion warning.
How can I create an array of generics?
Thank you!
Matteo

You can't
Actually, that depends on the exact definition of a generic array. If by generic array someone means "an array comprised of elements defined by a type parameter", there is a solution.
import java.lang.reflect.Array;
public class Something<T> {
    private final Class<T> type;
    public Something(Class<T> type) {
        this.type = type;
    public String getTypeName() {
        return this.type.getName();
    public T[] newArray(final int length) {
        return (T[]) Array.newInstance(this.type, length);
}The constructor introduces the type information (T) to the runtime environment, which means an instance of Something will know its type. Method newArray therefore does not cause a warning on unchecked type conversion, so this approach is typesafe.
// Type parameter class is demanded by constructor...
Something<String> stringThing = new Something<String>(String.class);
// Cheating won't work, because the compiler catches the error...
Something<Vector> vectorThing = new Something<Vector>(Integer.class);This approach, however, doesn't enable you to create an array of typed elements (like Vector<String>[]). If that is the definition of a generic array, then it is indeed not possible to create one.
After all, while Vector[].class exists and can be resolved at runtime, there's no such thing as Vector<String>[].class, so there's no way you could provide the class definition of the component type to the constructor of Something.
This may be a surprise to mdt_java, because if I remember correctly, templates in C++ cause actually different classes to be created for 'generic' types. This is not the case with Java.

How to create an array of a cluster?

Hello!
Now we need some help or tip again :-) We have an array of strings coming out from a for-loop. We want to pick this array in peaces and get the string-elements out. These elements we want to get into a cluster together with boolean constant. Of this cluster we then want to create an array. The problem is that we do not know how to overcome the trouble with data-types and for-loopes... *scratching our head...* Anyone? Thank you

Hello Ex-jobb,
have a look at my example. I included a second way to build your array of cluster.
The string generation at the left of the diagram is to simulate your text file reading, it also gives you an array of strings.
This array is in the upper part converted by using autoindexing of an for-loop. In the lower part I used just an "Index Array" with
"Build cluster" and "build array".
Hope this helps,
GerdW
