How to enumerate classes belonging to a certain package

Basically this is the question:
How to dynamically enumerate classes belonging to a certain package ?
Thanks

Scan the class path for files in the target package.
There isn't a simple way to do this and generally you should need to.

  • Extracting class files of a certain package from a jar.

    Hi,
    I want to extract all the class files belonging to a certain package from a JAR file containing class files belonging to a different packages.
    Can I do this using the jar tool, or use some other unzipping tool?
    If it is best to use an unzipping tool which one can I use for windows?
    Thanks,

  • How to use classes from different user defined Packages

    well i made 2 packages... one containing employee class and realted matter and other contaning bankaccounts and bank related work... now how can i use them in an another.. i know about the import statement but still couldn't make it work.... now suppose iam makin a obejct of employee class and passing in name and salary and all in the constructor... now i want that when i create the bankaccount class then the name of the employee should be passed to the bankaccount class so that it can assigen a account no. .. now how do i do this as when i create a object of employee class its made at runtime.. and if i create a object of bankaccount.. how wil it take that name as before goin to bank account i should already have a list of emplyees and then this list should be worked upon by the backaccount class to assign the accountno.s
    Hope my question was clear... would appriciate a explanation and guidance!!!

    Thank you so much ... i was able to solve the problem... i passed the object in the constructor of the accounts class and it all worked out the way i wanned... thank you so much... it wasn't that difficult but the idea was just not clicking...this place is wonderful... everyone rocks!!! and so greatful about all the help.. please keep up the good work and even i will try to contribute as much as possible!!

  • How to find classes in a particular package?

    Does anyone know how in Java to find out what classes belong to a particular package? Or to find out what classes inherit from a particular class?
    The reason why I'm asking this is that I want to create a BeanInfo property editor for a widget that will give me a list of any classes in a particular package. I know what that package can be and I know what the main class is that everyone should inherit from. I can easily create a beaninfo property editor with a string array of the classes, but I don't want to have to go back and maintain this code everytime I add another class to that package. I would love to use introspection but I haven't found the right commands to use yet.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Not too difficult, the following snippet is used to gather information about a class. beanClass can be parsed to extract package name. and you ask the class directly about its superClasses and implemented Interfaces.
        private Class beanClass = null;
        private Class beanSuperClass = null;
        private Constructor[] constructors = null;
        private Field[] fields = null;
        private Method[] methods = null;
        private Object beanInstance = null;
        public setBeanDetail(Object o) {
            beanInstance = o;
            beanClass = o.getClass();
            beanSuperClass = beanClass.getSuperclass();
            constructors = beanClass.getConstructors();
            fields = beanClass.getDeclaredFields();
            methods = beanClass.getMethods();
        }have loads of fun with it.

  • How to find (classes,interface,subpackage info) in some package

    Plz tell me if any one know how to find (classes,interface,subpackage) in some package
    e.g. in java.io
    "Above senerio in not concern with java doc
    but tell me if an other way i.e by help of programming
    i could find some package information"
    as we know we find out any "object" classType , methods and fields information with help of "java.lang.reflect" API's
    but how to find a package information as provided by jdk is in current use

    You can locate the .zip or .jar file where the stuff is, and say either
    unzip -l classes.zip
    or
    jar tvf classes.jar.
    So you see the list of the classes in the given package.
    Then you can say
    javap -classpath classes.zip MyPackage.MyClass
    to see the fields and methods of the given class.

  • How do java classes handle searches?

    how do java classes store information? and how do I get it out again?
    I am a relational programmer who has decided 2 take a detour in object oriented lands.
    In a relational table you store info and u get the information out through a (my)SQL query
    now how does a class Project with instance project 1,2,3,.........
    get the information from a project with a certain name?
    eg:
    projectid: 1
    responsible: 1234 (<--userid)
    projectname: testproject
    projectid: 2
    responsible: 1256
    projectname: leukproject
    projectid: 3
    responsible: 1483
    projectname: testproject
    projectid: 4
    responsible: 3245
    projectname: darnedproject
    and so on....
    so lets say our class Project has a thousend instances. I want to search by name, how do i write the onces to the screen who have name "testproject"?
    So how do i do this without sqlquerys, totally oop?
    any help would be very much appreciated! :?

    Hi NiQuil,
    Let me tell you a few basic things. First, RDBMS and OOP are quite different things.
    In RDBMS, you ask ur database, "hey, I want this piece of info. Get me that". But you
    don't tell it how to go and search for it, right. Well, things are not as simple as that in
    OOP. Here you have to specify how to get your data also. But Java will surely help you
    to make it easier.
    First of all, you should not map between tables (of RDBMS) and classes (of OOP),
    although certainly you can do this in some crude ways. What you have to do is, put all
    your projects in a single instance, and then using a method, query that instance. There
    are numerous ways for querying. Several classes like Hashtable, Vector, Collection
    etc etc helps you to store, search and retrieve data. But I dont think it is necessary or
    helpful to describe these in detail here.
    However, I would like to tell you one important point. OOP is not just about data storage
    and retrieval. OOP is a way of thinking. It allows you to combine your data and operations
    on it. An object is just a combination of data and operations on that data. Other objects
    access this data only through an interface defined by these operations. Once you
    understand this concept, life will be easier. But it takes some time, especially because
    you come from RDBMS, a world which talks just about data.

  • How does the Class javax.security.auth.Subject work?

    Hi,
    i don't understand how does the class Subject work.
    First i will describe how do i understand u can use the class Subject
    This is the way you can create a Subject(i think):
    1. create a LoginContext, where u can tell over its parameter which
    Module to use
    2. a LoginModule will be used
    3. now the LoginModule create a Subject
    if this steps right--> ok, else--> please write how it really works
    Now the questions:
    1. Where do the LoginModule get the username and stuff like this from
    to fill the Subjects? Principals?
    2. Where will be the Subject save, at server or at client side?
    when save on server: how to reference a Subject is belong to the
    right Client?
    when save on client: how to ensure the client do not modify it?
    3. In the documentation of JavaTM 2 Platform Std. Ed. v1.4.1, there is
    no advice, that the class have any FIELDS, but then where the
    principals are saved?
    4. The Class Subject do not have any methodes to modify the principals,
    so how to modify it if necessary?
    i think this is enough for the beginnig :)
    thanx,

    Hi
    Let me try to answer. I am a bit confused too.
    Hi,

    the class Subject
    This is the way you can create a Subject(i think):
    1. create a LoginContext, where u can tell over its
    parameter which
    Module to use
    2. a LoginModule will be used
    3. now the LoginModule create a Subject
    Correct.if this steps right--> ok, else--> please write how it
    really works
    Now the questions:
    1. Where do the LoginModule get the username and stuff
    like this from
    to fill the Subjects? Principals?
    The Loginmodule does not need the user name. The username is
    only relevant to your application not to JAAS. Consider a standaalone
    application. Whoever starts the application, becomes the user.
    After you start the application, and login (whatever way), your subject
    is created. This subject pertains to the person who is executing the application, not the application specific userid/username. So the user id or name is not required. There is only one user, who is running the application. The JAAS architecture is more relevant for UNIX like
    permission/grant structure, which determines who can execute what.
    >
    2. Where will be the Subject save, at server or at
    client side?
    Again the Subject has nothing to do with your application specific userid. It will be there in the LoginContext. So in a sense a LoginContext is actually a user, not a Subject.
    when save on server: how to reference a Subject is
    is belong to the
    right Client?
    when save on client: how to ensure the client do
    do not modify it?
    In a client server mode, usually the login is done twice. You have to find a way to communicate the subject to the server.3. In the documentation of JavaTM 2 Platform Std. Ed.
    v1.4.1, there is
    no advice, that the class have any FIELDS, but then
    en where the
    principals are saved?
    4. The Class Subject do not have any methodes to
    modify the principals,
    so how to modify it if necessary?
    I think you can add Principals. That is definitely there.i think this is enough for the beginnig :)
    thanx,
    edo
    Hope this helps. As of now I do not think JAAS provides a very good architecture for authorization.

    Hi,
    How to convert .class into .jar fileFrom a command prompt, cd to the location of your .class file(s).
    If you want to create a simple jar, use: jar -cf Whatever.jar Whatever.class
    If you want to compile all .class files in a directory into a jar, use *.class instead.
    Now, I'm going to assume you want to create an executable jar... here's how to do that:
    1) Create a blank text file; for this example, lets call it main.txt.
    2) In the first line of main.txt, type: Main-class: Whatever ('Whatever' should be the name of the class in your program where the main() method is located)
    3) Press enter to go to the next line (someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but if you don't insert the line break/CR after the Main-class: statement, this will not work... in my experience, this is true)
    4) Make sure you save this file in the same directory as your .class file(s).
    5) Type: jar -cmf Whatever.jar main.txt Whatever.class
    ...and that's about it. For more information on the usage of the jar command and to understand the switches (such as -cmf), try jar --help.
    Hope that helps.

    ZipEntry ze = null;
    while(e.hasMoreElements()){

  • How to include class files in no package?

    hi,
    I have a class file in a package called
    pack.Test
    and a class file not in a package called
    Library
    When I try to use Library from within pack.Test, it says theres no such class. I have my classpath setup correctly, and the files in the correct directories.
    ie. on windows if %DIR% is the base directory then
    %DIR%\Library.java
    %DIR%\pack\Test.java
    is how they are layed out.
    Is there a way to get Library imported to pack.Test?
    thanks,

    What?!! It isn't considered legal to access a
    root-level class from a higher level package?Well it's not now because your code won't compile, but
    prior to 1.4 you could. I think the JLS has been
    updated to say you can't import from the unnamed
    namespace.Hmm! I must have missed that bit (not that I read it in any great detail, anyway!). I suppose it forces you to use packages, which is a good thing, IMHO.
    What I was wondering about was, is the directory structure of classes strictly necessary, given that a class contains information on its package anyway? I know some IDEs don't require the source files to be in the right directory - they will check on the package statement, and locate the class file accordingly - but is it absolutely necessary for class files to be located according to their directory structure? I know the JLS says they have to be, but could the JLS be relaxed on this point, without breaking anything?

  • How can a class extending MouseAdapter override mouseDragged method?

    I've found this code from somewhere, don't remember where
    private class DragLimiter extends MouseAdapter {
    @Override
    public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
    pressedX = e.getX();
    pressedY = e.getY();
    @Override
    public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {
    label.setLocation(
    Math.min(
    Math.max(label.getX() + e.getX() - pressedX, BORDER),
    panel.getWidth() - label.getWidth() - BORDER),
    Math.min(
    Math.max(label.getY() + e.getY() - pressedY, BORDER),
    panel.getHeight() - label.getHeight() - BORDER));
    }The question is how can a class extending MouseAdapter override mousedragged()?
    I found that MouseAdapter implements MouseListener whose subinterface is MouseMotionListener, I think this has something to do with the question.
    But I've always thought you can only override methods of the super classes or interfaces not vice versa.
    I believe I have some kind of fundamental misunderstanding of this and would like to have some help in understanding this.
    Thanks

    This is more a Java question than a Swing question.
    I found that MouseAdapter implements MouseListener whose subinterface is MouseMotionListenerThat's not correct: if you look at MouseAdapter Javadoc, you'll find that it implements both MouseListener and MouseMotionListener (and MouseMotionListener is not a subinterface of MouseListener).
    Regardless, if you look at the javadoc, you see that MouseAdapter declares a method public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent). It doesn't matter whether this is also declared by an interface, a subclass can override it all the same.
