How to develop a discussion forum using Java?

I am actually developing a forum using Java. That would actually include registering process for a new user and if the user has an account, he can log in. The program should then generate a welcome message and a randomly-created password of 8 char (char+digits), this wil be printed on the screen. I am quite a newbie in this area.. Appreciate for ur help
Thanzz....

and what is more import than actual programming when making a software like a forum system is the database design.
so first you have to designe your database
decide which data that you have to store and decide what are the table that you will need and what columns that you want in the tables
thats where you should start

How to develop discussion forums using java

Hi, can any one kindly explain how to develop disccussion forums using java.
the application is like same as this forum. one post and the replies are come after that. creating new threads.
any tutuorial is available for this. what is best dabase for this. and which application server is required.

if you want to use a forum for sum purpose download an opensource forum software and deploy it in a server that support the serverside technology that it uses.
If you dont want to go through the trouble of installing the the forum software (normally there is a quaita bit of configuration to do). Goole for Free Forum Hosting and you will get plenty of places that hosts forums for you. Since they do the installation you dont have to wory about that part.
If you really want to develop a forum software first install an existing open source forum or get an account in a free forum hoster and take good look at the forum software and the features that it provides.
In here you only see the front end of the forum. The back end is much more complicated. You have to define forums and forum groups, you have to define user groups, you have to define which users has access to which forums. who can start topics and who can reply to topics and whgo has read only access. And how to clollect and stor statistics like number of posts by each user. And the list goes on...
So first take a look at the features in both front and back end of an existing forum software and decide what you want in your software. Then you can design the database to support those features. And then start coding.
Technicaly you will need to know how to do servlets/JSP and JDBC in order to build a forum. Most important part is you have to do lots of planing.

How to develop a web browser using API javatv?
I'm tryin' to build a web browser using the API javaTv and
I want to know if that is possible and if somebody already made this.

Whichever Java platform you're using with JavaTV should provide enough.

How to read a text file using Java

Guys,
Good day!
Please help me how to read a text file using Java and create/convert that text file into XML.
Thanks and God Bless.
Regards,
I-Talk

     public void fileRead(){
             File aFile =new File("myFile.txt");
         BufferedReader input = null;
         try {
           input = new BufferedReader( new FileReader(aFile) );
           String line = null;
           while (( line = input.readLine()) != null){
         catch (FileNotFoundException ex) {
           ex.printStackTrace();
         catch (IOException ex){
           ex.printStackTrace();
     }This code is to read a text file. But there is no such thing that will convert your text file to xml file. You have to have a defined XML format. Then you can read your data from text files and insert them inside your xml text. Or you may like to read xml tags from text files and insert your own data. The file format of .txt and .xml is far too different.

How to store images in database using java

I asked a similar question once and the answer I got was - Don't.
Instead, store the images on a drive somewhere and store the path in the database.
But I'm no expert - that's just what I was told by someone who does this kind of stuff a lot.
Hope that helps.

How to Play a sample sound using Java

Hi,
I have an mp3 music files in database. When a user chooses a particular button, all the songs are fetched from the database.
I have two buttons namely, 'Buy' and 'Play Sample'. If I click the 'Play Sample' button, a sample of the song has to be played (not the full song). If the user likes the sample, he can buy the full song.
My question is how to achieve the 'Play Sample' using Java Swings and Sound. I have googled, but not find any solutions. Please provide me an example or link.
Thanks in advance.

How to do SAVE AS DRAFT using java mail api

Hello,

Hello,
I want to know how to do SAVE AS DRAFT using Java
mail Api.
thanksI don't think you can. That sounds like a feature of a mail client app itself. The Java mail API is for when you're ready to actually send the thing. Saving drafts is storing them somewhere like you would any other data; nothing to do with the mail API.

How to write a messenger with using java?

May I know how to write a messenger with using java? The messenger need included two functions which are file transfer and add users to join the conversation.
Thank you.

Ok, so you need to start from the beginning, the requirements, is it a swing (i.e. GUI) app, web app, console, etc...?
As stated by sprizor making an IM client is no easy task, you need to both implement the server side and the client side, which both communicate with each other, file transfers are also quite complex, and even maintaining a multi-user chat can be quite difficult.
If you are after a Web Based app, then you will need to look into Push technologies, like Grizzly Comet which is a nice wrapper for the NIO java stuff:

Good luck...
