Java forum?

Is there a forum category dedicated to Apple's Java implementation & updates that I have missed? If there isn't one, it seems like there should be, possibly as a sub-category in the Mac OS X & Related Software > Mac OS X Technologies section.
As it is, there seems to be a lot of Java related posts showing up in the Leopard > Installation & Setup forum, which really isn't a good fit for the topics they address.
While I'm at it, I would like to suggest the creation of a tool or 'wizard' gizmo that would help users find an appropriate forum for their posts, with a link to it on the Discussions - Forum home page. It could be as simple as a series of questions with radio buttons using a decision tree to narrow down the candidate forums to ones that best fit the post's topic.
If nothing else, trying to create the decision tree would help the administrators understand the difficulties many users have picking a forum & might eventually lead to an easier-to-use organization of the many & growing number of forums here. (Tip: to be of any real value, the radio button choices & decision tree branches they lead to must include an "I don't know" choice!)

I doubt it since Java is not an Apple product. You might just try posting in the general Using Mac OS X forum for your flavor of OS X

JAVASCRIPT ISSUE (i realize this is a java forum not J.S.) URGENT!

Hello,
First off I realize this is a java forum and not Javascript so if you are do not know Javascript ignore this thread. I posted it here because Ive used this before and help is often prompt. However, If anyone out there knows javascript would you be willing to help me real quick on a function issue that i cannot seem to solve? It would be greatly appreciated! I am trying to add a pop up box that displays an error message when they enter the wrong format. For ex. the proper format is 3 letters followed by 3 numbers (INF334). If they enter something such as (INFD334) I want a J.S. pop up box to display and have them try again. I cant seem to figure out where I need to include this within my function I created though. Can someone please help! Here is my function:
function addCourses(arguments) {
//Declare Variables
     var class = "-", grade = "-";
     fieldValue = document.InformationForm.CoursesTaken.value;
      if(arguments == null || arguments == '') {
       //Prompt user for input, validate input
         while(!class.match(/[A-Z]{3}[0-9]{3}/) && class != 0 && class != '' && class != null) {
                 class = prompt("Enter a Course ID. Ex. INF110", "");
     else {class = arguments;}
//Checks for valid Grade Letters including Withdrawals
     while(!grade.match(/[A-DFW]{1}/) && grade != 0 && grade != '' && grade != null && class != '' && class != null && class != 0) {
          grade = prompt(" Enter The Grade Letter Earned. Ex. A B C D F W", "");
     if(class != "" && class != null && grade != '' && grade != null && grade != 0 && class != 0) {
            document.InformationForm.CoursesTaken.value = fieldValue + "" + class + "\t" + grade + "\n";
         newGPA(grade);
         classCount();
}//END addCourses Function

h2. Choose your forum carefully
Be sensitive in choosing where you ask your question. You are likely to be ignored, or written off as a loser, if you:
post your question to a forum where it's off topic...

That's your problem, not ours. Claiming urgency is very likely to be counter-productive: most hackers will simply delete such messages as rude and selfish attempts to elicit immediate and special attention.

Retrieving cookies when logging into java forums through a java application

Hello --
I am currently working on a spider application that will have the ability to login to sites of interest and then begin crawling.
I thought an easy place to start would be to login to java forums. However, I have run into a bit of a snag with all of the cookies....
The following is the information that I am posting:
action = "login"
url = "http://forum.java.sun.com/index.jsp"
UserId // my username
Password // my password
Submit = "Log in"
AutoLogin = "1"
I am doing this using HttpURLConnection that was created using http://developer.java.sun.com/servlet/SessionServlet as the URL. Then I create an output stream etc:
OutputStream os = huc.getOutputStream();
os.write(sb.toString().getBytes("US-ASCII")); // where sb is a StringBuffer which contains the above information separated with &'s
os.close();
This is when I run into my problem...Next, I try to obtain the session cookies (using the same HttpURLConnection that I posted with) but I am not getting all of the cookies.
As a test, I set my browser to prompt for cookies and I found that when you submit your login information three cookies are set: JDC, JSessionId, and SessionCredentials. Then two more cookies are set JSessionId again and jiveUserLastVisited -- I think these cookies are actually set while getting the http://forum.java.sun.com/index.jsp page. Anyway the only cookies that I get through my program are JSessionId and jiveUserLastVisited.
So to remedy this I tried setting followRedirects to false on my HttpURLConnection (before I perform my post) and then I tried to get the Set-Cookie header immediately following my post. What I found was after calling getFieldHeader() my connection has changed -- when I do a getConnection on my HttpURLConnection the connection has changed to the second page (http://forum.java.sun.com/index.jsp) even with redirects set to false.
I guess my inexperience with web applications has caught up with me. Does anybody have any ideas?
Thanks,
Lisa

Did you get any reply on this ?? I am also writing a similar web crawler and i also ran into similar problems.
let me know if you found the solution. thanks.

Has anyone used it, or does anyone know a better choice?
thanks

thanks for the reply:
Seems ok, but users have reviewed it as hard to use.
Any other suggestions?

I want develop a small application Like java forums.

As Sun Developer Java forum,Everybody put their questions and get the replies.I want develop it for my organization.So any body help me to give the design or architecture or any suggestion to develop this project successfully.

Apache STRUTS or JSF and Hibernate

How the Sun Java Forums Work (Briefly)

I am wondering if anyone could give me a brief overview of how the Java sun forums work -- esp. when someone creates a new thread.
How exactly does the JSP know to link to that thread? Is it generating a unique ID from the database or using it's own custom code? How does it point to that thread? (I'm SO FRUSTRATED. I've tried to figure this one out for about a MONTH.)
I've started to create a help desk, where it takes form data and posts it to the database. (That issue solved.) The database assigns it a unique ID -- primary key. I'm having trouble displaying the problem record for that ticket ID. (I'm new to Java and really been pulling my hair over this one for about a month.)
Let me go into some more detail:
I have these form objects:
- Name
- Technical Summary
- Severity
- Problem
This is a standard html form page. The standard html page posts to a JSP page, where the JSP page uses a prepared statement to insert the form data into the database. The query page, (query.jsp) has a table, which only shows TicketID, Name, Technical Summary, and Severity. Obviously, the TicketID is an int and generated by the DB, as 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on...
So if someone created an issue it'd be assigned a unique ticket id. Note that from the query page, it DOES not show the problem. I WANT there to be a link to get the problem record in that row.
If anyone could help me out with this one, that would be great.

Below is the CORE JSP Query Code. Obviously, I did NOT post the HTML b/c that would look **REALLY** weird. Any help on resolving my problem, would relly be helpful! Please hep! :)

How Do I see my Java Forum posts?

Hi,
This is off topic, sorry for that. I was not able to figure out how to view all my earlier postings. By clicking on my own ID I can see a few of the recent posings. To click on my ID I need to post something.
Please tell me if there is any other way of doing it?
Thank you.

And, since you only started posting 1/25/2005, you can go here:
http://forum.java.sun.com/category.jspa?categoryID=5&start=7200
and be pretty close to the start of your time posting. Then all you have to do is scroll through approximately 7200 posts to find yours.
Better get started, though. That number is rising.
Have fun. ;-)
PS. This was looking through all Fundamental fora. If you only post in one forum, you may have to look back through fewer posts.

Is there a problem with Java forums

I am just checking

Java has yet another security vulnerability. Details on exactly which versions of Java are sketchy at this point, but all versions of Java 7 from Oracle are... if you have such a version of Java, turn off Java in your web browser ASAP!
Of course, both Apple and Mozilla have acted quickly to disable all versions of Java up to the latest version of Java 7. The only way you'll get a Java applet working with Safar or Firefox is to wait for Oracle to update Java, or if you take certain other unsafe procedures to get a vulnerable version of Java working again.
Kudos must be extended to both Apple and Mozilla in this case for making a choice that has made some users angry. This vulnerability was being actively exploited to drop malware onto Windows users' systems, and it was just a matter of time before Mac users were similarly affected. The fact that they acted so quickly to protect users from this threat shows that security is of utmost importance to both companies.

Java forums, job offer spamming and ethics

Hi peoples,
I was thinking about the random job offering posts that creep up on these forums now and again. They annoy me as much as they probably annoy the next person, I'd imagine. Now, I know there's a report abuse button you can click, and the thread might eventually get deleted, but I'm not sure that really gets the point across that this is a bad thing to do.
So here's where the ethics question comes in...
I was thinking about making a program that, upon entering an email address, would attempt to start signing up that email to as many newsletters, mailings and random crap from various sites around the internet as possible. That way, when I see someone post a job offering on these forums (with an email to respond to, of course), I could provide the user with as much "useful" information as they have provided me. There's no question of whether or not I could write this, the real question lies in whether it would be an ethical thing to do or not.
All I'm really looking for is some opinions regarding whether or not this is a good idea. If I see that a lot of other posters feel the same way, I'll start working on this in my off-time, and I'll make sure to post the source code for it too :)

I still won't do this, but I'm asking this more out of curiosity, as I'm not all that familiar with law. I was wondering how signing up a random email could be constituted as breaking the law. I don't know the person's name, address or anything of the sort, so it's not like I'm wreaking havoc on someone's identity, or that the person would end up being contacted personally (over telephone, physical mailings, etc), so I'm confused as to the legality on this issue.
Just to reiterate, I won't be doing this, I'm only curious about the legal ramifications.I can't say for sure, but I don't think you'll find anyone here that could take the place of a decent lawyer. So to answer your question, you need to ask a lawyer.I'm most certainly not a lawyer, but I did just do thirty seconds of research on the topic of spam and federal laws within the United States. So that pretty much makes me an expert.
The CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 is mostly geared toward spam labeling itself as such - the spammer must say that the unsolicited email is indeed unsolicited, may not send fake headers, etc. (spamlaws.com)
As such, it seems to me that the simple act of signing someone up for spam should not be illegal. Essentially, it would seem like, in signing them up, you are sending them the unsolicited emails through proxies - those being the spammers. So it seems to me that it shouldn't be illegal, based on the information I know. And also a google search of "sign up for spam illegal" didn't turn up anything to the effect of this act being illegal.
Well, I'm pretty much an expert barrister now. Time to quit being a software engineer and go take the bar...

Are there anymore popular java forums like these?

I love these boards and wondering if their is anymore really helpful and big forum communitys out there. I searched google for a few, but didnt get much of what I was looking for.

There's devshed.com as well, though it's not as active as these forums.

Java forum code button broken.... Whats the code to write the code tags?

I cant use the code button. I click it nothing happens any idea why? I forgot the code that makes the code tags.

the "code" button was introduced for the homework kiddos in an attempt to honour their requests to "gif mi zu koduz" and teach them some English at the same time.
By general request of senior forum members that functionality has now been removed but the now disfunctional button was retained.

Java Forum Tools?

I have seen some sites that present data about the forums (most posts, most dukes, etc) and I am wondering if anyone knows of other tools that can be used to view/post to the forums.
Is it available as a newsgroup? Has someone coded a more customizable reader?
Any links would be appreciated.
-Mike

I would like a "Rate this response" 0-5. Each poster should then have their individual average rating next to their name.
Also, next to their name I would like a "Member since YEAR".

SSO between Portal and Java WD application

Hi Experts,
I am using CE 7.2 on localhost and I am very new to SAP.
I need to know how can I get SSO between Portal and Java WD. I have a WD application that displays the logged in user using "IUser currentUser = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser().getSAPUser()", as well I can use "IUser user = UMFactory.getAuthenticator().getLoggedInUser()". Both work.
Q1. What is the difference in the 2 above?
Q2. My WD application is set to authenticate user. The WD application is in URL iView. I need SSO between Portal and WD application. Is there a way to get this SSO without SAP Backend (ECC), for now I just need SSO between Portal and Java WD appl.
Everything is in localhost.
Please advice. Thanks.

> need to know how can I get SSO between Portal and Java WD.
Then I suggest you ask your question in the Web Dynpro Java forum instead of the Web Dynpro ABAP one.
