Java and system registry

Is there a java class which i can use to access the system registry and make changes to it. for the time being, assume i have admin access to a system.
i am new to this forum. just joined. so pls xcuse me if i have done anything i am not supposed to or in any way not followed any rules while posting this question.

Is there a java class which i can use to access the system registry Not really no. You should use Google to search for something. You'll need native code and it will only work on Windows.
and make changes to it. for the time being, assume i have admin access to a system.Regardless this does not seem like a very good idea for a Java project at all. Why do you feel you want to do this? If you want to make a Windows registry editor you would be better off doing it C# or something.
i am new to this forum. just joined. so pls xcuse me One thing that is strongly encouraged here is for posters to use real words. So write please and pls, plz or the ever popular plzzzzzzzzzzzz for example.

Thanks in advance

I don't know how to access the registry
by using java code. You can't, without using a native interface (JNI type) library.
This is one, there are others, do a Google search:

Where I can find and use "Java Desktop System Management Tools "

With Solaris 10, you not only get the Java Desktop System desktop environment, but also the Java Desktop System Management Tools and a selection of free and trial Development Tools, which are available for download only.
I found only an information about JDS release 2
but today it's release 3 already and it's said it already integrated in JDS
and above sentence it state that it already come with solaris 10?
where i can find that , where i can use it
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-7575/6mmsrpduj?a=view
this page said how to install but ...where I can find CD/
regards please help

Good question. It appears to have been installed with Solaris 11/06, as I have all of the packages listed here:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-7575/6mmsrpdus?a=view
However, it does not appear in the Java Web Console. I tried adding it using the wcadmin command, but haven't managed to get it to run as per the docs. The documentation assumes that it is already installed and visible in the Java Web Console...
According to this documentation:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1985/6mhm8o5l6?a=view#gdjpi
An application for the Java Web Console should have a WEB-INF directory and an app.xml file. The apoc packages come with neither, so something is missing.

Java.lang.system and InputStream

java.lang.system has 3 fields defined:
static PrintStream err;
static InputStream in;
static PrintStream out;
As InputStream is a abstract class, can it be used to declare a variable? If so, how to instantiate?
Thanks

java.lang.system has 3 fields defined:
static PrintStream err;
static InputStream in;
static PrintStream out;
As InputStream is a abstract class, can it be used to declare a variable? If so, how to instantiate?You cannot create an object from an abstract class; you can create an object from a sub class of
that abstract class, and that's exactly what that Stystem.in is refering to, an object from a sub
class of the abstract class InputStream. This sub class still IS-A Inputstream and all you have
to know that it behaves exacty as an InputStream.
Think of it this way -- 'birds' by themselves do not exist; sparrows exist and parrots and penguins exist.
Still you can point to a penguin and say "hey! That's a bird". And so is the object refered to by the
System.in variable an InputStream.
kind regards,
Jos

The performance of management system with Java and MySQL

Hi all,
I want to develop one management application with Java and MySQL. However I am not sure which is a good way to design the system. The system has to deal with customers' data in the database.
Should I create objects for every customers when application starts so that I do not need to access to the database often? Or
Should I access to the database everytime the user want to deal with customer's data?
Welcome for any suggestion.
Thank you
Pat

Error when accessing Java and JVM section

I'm getting the following error when accessing the Java and
JVM section of the CF Administrator:
"Element JDKPATH is undefined in FORM"
I've searched a lot and there's very little on the topic. On
this forum there are two posts and one got no answer, on the other
it was suggested it might be the jvm.config file. I've looked at
mine but I really have no idea what could be wrong. Also, there are
two jvm.config files in my install, one in jrun4/bin and another in
jrun4/servers/cfusion/cfusion-ear/cfusion-war/WEB-INF/cfusion/runtime/bin
folder (I did multiserver installation).
I've already tried a bunch of things and no luck, any help is
appreciated on this.

System registry

Hi fellas,
I was wondering if we can access system registry from java. If this can be done, plz lemme know how.
Thanks,
Kris.

Isn't this package licensed under the GLP (not LGPL)?
So, if you're developing commercial software doesn't
that mean you might have problems?
The GPL doesn't prevent commercial use.It prevents you making improvements and then keeping them for yourself (Something most corporations like to do). So long as you aren't distributing the binary you don't have to distribute the source, so if it's a program for internal use only there won't be any trouble.
Which is assuming you're working for someone under their licence - if you're free I'd recommend going totally GPL anyway :)

BI Java and BI ABAP -RSPLAN issue

Hi All
We are working with BI system ,using BI 7.0 Java and BI ABAP as separate systems on same host.
Already run the template intaller for BI Java and ABAP integration.
But facing some issue ,when going ot BI ABAP and RSPLAN and clicking the Start Mideller
it is opening a browser as http://host:8000/sap/public/myssocntl?sap-client-XXX
Since this is not correct and it should open BI Java portal instead of ABAP stack page.
Instead this should open a Url like this http://host:5XX00/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/biplanworkbench1/Modeler?
I check on BI ABAP system under SAP Reference IMG -> SAP Customizing Implementation Guide-> SAP NetWeaver _> Business Intelligence-> BI Integrated Planning -> Settings for Starting the Planning Modeler.
There the default Url is BEx Portal Server and the url is
http://host:5XX00/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/biplanworkbench1/Modeler
Can anybody let me know why this is going to ABAP server instead it should go to Java.
Regards
Ajay

How to get return value from java and read by other application?

i want to read return value from java and the other application read it.
for example:
public class test_return {
    test_return(){
    public int check(){
        return 1;
    public static void main(String args[]){
       new test_return().check();
}from that class i make as jar file. How to read the return value (1) by other application?
thx..

If your installer is requiring some process it invokes to return a particular value on failure, then the installer is seriously broken. There are a bazillion commands your installer could invoke, and any of them could fail, which in turn could invalidate the entire install process, and any of them could return any value on failure. The only value that's consistent (in my experience) is that zero means success and non-zero means failure, with specific non-zero values being different in different programs.
About the only control you have over the JVM's exit code is that if your main method completes without throwing an exception, the JVM will have an exit code of 0, and if main throws an exception (either explicitly or by not catching one thrown from below), it will be non-zero. I'm not even sure if that's guaranteed, but I would guess that's the case.
EDIT: I'm kind of full of crap here. If you're writing the Java code, you can call System.exit(whatever). But nonetheless, if your installer requires certain exit codes from any app--java or otherwise--you have a problem.

Problem with java and javaw

Hi,
In running the following simple code, I have gotten different results using java and javaw.
public class Test {
public Test() {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int x =4;
System.out.println("The value is "+ ((x > 5)?6.0:4));
System.out.println("The value is "+ ((false)?6.0:4));
System.out.println("The value is "+ ((true)?99:9.9));
Using java, I get the following results:
The value is 4.0
The value is 4.0
The value is 99.0
But using javaw, I get the following results:
The value is 4.0
The value is 4
The value is 99
Any ideas why this is so?
Thanks for any help.
Gilbert

I used JBuilder to run the following code and Jbuilder uses javaw.
By the way, the correct answer is the one using java right?

Problem with Java and Zip Files

Hello there everyone. I have a problem with trying to zip up directories with empty folders in them. They zip fine with my code, but according to winzip, the number of files in the archive is incorrect. It's supposed to have a total of 288 files in it, but when it's zipped up, it only says 284. I mention specifically the "empty directories" note because the zipping works fine without empty folders.
Below is the code for the zip method:
public static void zip(File[] list, File zipfile, File zipRoot)
     throws IOException {
      if (!zipfile.exists()) {
               zipfile.createNewFile();
          else if (!zipfile.isFile()) {
               throw new IOException("The zip file, " + zipfile.getAbsolutePath()
                         + " is not a file.");
          if (list.length == 0) {
              LOG.error("The list of files to zip up is empty.");
          for (int i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
               if (!list.exists()) {
                    throw new IOException("The file or directory, " + list[i].getAbsolutePath()
                              + " does not exist.");
          FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(zipfile);
          ZipOutputStream zos = new ZipOutputStream(fos);
          for (int i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
               if (LOG.isDebugEnabled())
                    LOG.debug(i + ": " + list[i].getName());
               String entryName = getRelativeName(list[i], zipRoot);
               if (list[i].isDirectory()){
                    if (list[i].listFiles().length == 0){
                         ZipEntry entry = new ZipEntry(entryName + "/");
                         zos.putNextEntry(entry);
               else {
                    ZipEntry ze = new ZipEntry(entryName);

The files look like they're there, but I need the system to be able to determine the number correctly.
Here's the interesting thing: It zips the files, and then when I use the size() method for zip files in java, it says 284 files. But when I unzip, it says 288 again. It's like there's files missing when compressed, but when decompressed, they return. Note that the files are actually there. If I open the archive in a third party app such as Winzip AND Winrar AND IZarc, they all show 288 files. Any idea what would make the number of files appear incorrectly in a zip file when zipped by java with the code above? Thanks in advance.

I figured out the problem. When zipping files in windows using winzip, it doesn't explicitly count folders as a "file/folder" as a file in itself. It will create the folders for files to go in, but the folder itself will not be 'counted' when you query the info of the file itself. You have more control of the zip file in java, and can count the folder as a file or not.

I'm new to Java and can't get javac command working

Ok first of all hello ( i'm new to the forum ), second i'm reading a book about Java and im trying to compile a sample code from the book, but javac command gained life and it's against me. So the book i'm reading is Sams Teach Yourself Java in 21 Days (YAY), and the code i want to compile is an application that works with another bit of code that mimics what a robot could do inside a volcano. So the Volcano program code is the following ( i'll post the robot code at the end of the post):
1: class VolcanoApp {
2: public static void main(String[] arguments) {
3: VolcanoRobot dante = new VolcanoRobot();
4: dante.status = ?exploring?;
5: dante.speed = 2;
6: dante.temperature = 510;
7:
8: dante.showAttributes();
9: System.out.println(?Increasing speed to 3.?);
10: dante.speed = 3;
11: dante.showAttributes();
12: System.out.println(?Changing temperature to 670.?);
13: dante.temperature = 670;
14: dante.showAttributes();
15: System.out.println(?Checking the temperature.?);
16: dante.checkTemperature();
17: dante.showAttributes();
18: }
19: }
Ignore the numbers they are used for explaining stuff in the book, and i din't copy the indentation.
So what i do is that i creat a file with notepad ( no fancy stuff only plain old notepad ) and i copy this code, remove the numbers and make the indents.
After that i save as .txt file with the apropriate name ( i know it's case sensitive ). After that i open command prompt and write:
javac VolcanoApp.java
And it tells me that "javac is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file".
I managed to solve that by going to the control panel and by adding to the system variables for my user in the path variable this :
;C:\JAVAJDK\bin
( C:\JAVAJDK is where JDK is installed)
And then i modified the system variables like this:
In the CLASSPATH i entered this .;%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar
In JAVA_HOME i entered this C:\JAVAJDK
Setting the variables like this made the javac error go away but now when i write in command line
javac VolcanoApp.java
It gives me this error
javac: file not found : VolcanoApp.java
Usage: javac options source files
use -help for a list of possible options
And then i read that i can drop my java file directly in the javac file. So i did.
When i drop my VolcanoApp.java in the javac file it open a command line window and writes a bunch of stuff in like a milisecond and shuts down. And no file is created.
I wanted to know what was writen in that window so i did it again and took a print screen and pasted it on paint ( it writed so much text that i only got a little bit but enough to see what hapend)
I read it and in the print screen it said it had 15 errors ( so far ) and then it point the errors with little arrows and there were characters that weren't present in the original code.
What hapend the compiler added wierd letters?
SO, my real question is, how the heck do i get javac working and compiling stuff properly?
Plz help i'm getting mad at this! ; (
And the code for the "robot":
1: class VolcanoRobot {
2: String status;
3: int speed;
4: float temperature;
5:
6: void checkTemperature() {
7: if (temperature > 660) {
8: status = ?returning home?;
9: speed = 5;
10: }
11: }
12:
13: void showAttributes() {
14: System.out.println(?Status: ? + status);
15: System.out.println(?Speed: ? + speed);
16: System.out.println(?Temperature: ? + temperature);
17: }
18: }
Again no indents and ignore the numbers. In the book it only said to compile the VolcanoApp.java , and not the VolcanoRobot.java
Edit:
I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit.

guess what it says java file. So yes i'm sure. Sarcasm. Not the best way to encourage a total stranger to help you. Then there's
Sorry if i wasn't more clear but was that response needed?No it wasn't needed, but I'm not the one asking for help so I have the luxury of not worrying too much about it. It's extremely frustrating trying to drag relevant information out of someone, and makes one less inclined to bother.
Anyways, there's still nothing in this thread that actually explicitly says "there is a file called VolcanoApp.java in the directory where I'm running javac from" and I really can't be bothered banging my head against the wall any longer. You've made a silly mistake, or a false assumption. We all do it from time to time. My advice is, take a break, go for a walk and re-visit this in a while. You'll probably spot the mistake right away.
