Java import general question

Hello All:
I sometimes find packages on the net, but I dont know how to get them into my system, how do I download them? are they already included in J2SE 1.4 ??
forexample, I found this class that does checksum16, but when I declare a variable of that type in my code it says "cant resolve symbol", how do I make it see that class or package?
the link for the class is here....
http://mmsl.cs.ucla.edu/sylph/docs/edu/ucla/cs/muse/sylph/Checksum16.html
any comment would be appreciated....
thanx

Usually classes included in jdk start with java,javax,sun.
Class Checksum16 is included into package edu.ucla.cs.muse.sylph. If you have downloaded that class you should put it into directory edu/ucla/cs/muse/sylph located at directory where your personal classes are located. Then import this class by directive 'import edu.ucla.cs.muse.sylph.Checksum16;'.
I think you should read info about writing packages in Java.

    How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
    Eric Steven Raymond
    Rick Moen
    Write in clear, grammatical, correctly-spelled language
    We've found by experience that people who are careless and sloppy writers are usually also careless and sloppy at thinking and coding (often enough to bet on, anyway). Answering questions for careless and sloppy thinkers is not rewarding; we'd rather spend our time elsewhere.
    So expressing your question clearly and well is important. If you can't be bothered to do that, we can't be bothered to pay attention. Spend the extra effort to polish your language. It doesn't have to be stiff or formal - in fact, hacker culture values informal, slangy and humorous language used with precision. But it has to be precise; there has to be some indication that you're thinking and paying attention.
    Spell, punctuate, and capitalize correctly. Don't confuse "its" with "it's", "loose" with "lose", or "discrete" with "discreet". Don't TYPE IN ALL CAPS; this is read as shouting and considered rude. (All-smalls is only slightly less annoying, as it's difficult to read. Alan Cox can get away with it, but you can't.)
    More generally, if you write like a semi-literate b o o b you will very likely be ignored. So don't use instant-messaging shortcuts. Spelling "you" as "u" makes you look like a semi-literate b o o b to save two entire keystrokes.

  • Picking - general question

    Hi all,
    I'm just starting to go into Java3D and have a general question with object picking: AFAIK I can use picking to select objects from an existing scene graph. Can I really define any line or ray with any orientation through the the universe and retrieve all objects that intersect this line?
    If yes, are those objects in correct order and distinguishable from each other? What I mean is, if I have three boxes in my graph (box1, box2 and box3), and I define a ray that intersects box2 and box1 in this order, can I retrieve these informations (first box2, second box1, never box3)?
    Just to make understandable, why this is important for me: I need to model a 3 dimensional structure. Visualization is not necessary (but nice if possible). Most important is, that I have to find out things like:
    - At point x, y, z is no part of the structure.
    - At point x, y, z is partA of the structure.
    - Line ax+b intersects part1, part4, ... of the structure.
    I hope that I can use JAva3D for this...
    Thanks a lot,
    Clemens

    Hi,
    to get an overview about the picking with java3d have a look at the samples in org.jdesktop.j3d.examples.picking folder.

  • General question about webservices

    I hava a file "Test.java" (which attempts to test a webservice) and a XML-File.
    I compiled the Test-class successfully and now I'm wondering what are the next
    steps to be able to send a request to the webservice and get a response.
    I know that I will need to install Apache Axis (?). But I have no idea how to go on.
    What is with the Test.class? I'll have to pack it somehow, I suppose.

  • Error in JAVA Importer

    I tried to import a JAVA Class inside a Form but I got the error: "PDE-UJI001 Failed to create the JVM". How can I solve it? How can I install the JVM? I have just convert my apllication from forms 5.0.6 to 6.0.8.17.1, I have no experience in WEB development and I need to convert my apllications for WEB, the papers on OTN does not explain much. Does anybody has an interesting paper or manual for downloading ???
    Thanks.

    First of all the error you are getting
    You need to to install JDK 1.2.2 to run the Java Importer. And set the PATH's
    and classpath's correctly.
    1. Download and install the JDK 1.2.2.
    2. Assuming the JDK 1.2.2 is installed in c:\jdk1.2.2 directory and the JRE in
    C:\PROGRA~1\JAVASOFT\JRE\1.2 directory; ORACLE_HOME=C:\Dev6iR2.
    Set the PATH to
    set PATH=%PATH%;c:\jdk1.2.2\bin;C:\PROGRA~1\JAVASOFT\JRE\1.2\bin;C:\PROGRA~1\JAVASOFT\JRE\1.2\bin\classic
    ( If you are using ias9i then the JDK 1.2.2 comes with the ias installtion ,
    in this case please set the PATH to
    D:\ias9i\Apache\jdk\bin;D:\ias9i\Apache\jdk\jre\bin;D:\ias9i\Apache\jdk\jre\bin\classic;%PATH% )
    3. Set the CLASSPATH to set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;C:\Dev6iR2\TOOLS\COMMON60\JAVA\IMPORTER.JAR;.
    (If you do not set the CLASSPATH correctly you will get the error
    PDE-UJI002 Unable to find the required java importer classes)
    4. Now run the Forms Builder by using the command.
    C:\Dev6iR2\bin\ifbld60.exe
    Now the Java Importer Should Run fine.
    Please follow the white paper on the Java Imported on OTN.
    As for your question about deploying on the web - what about the on line help in Forms????
    Select HELP -> Manuals
    You will then see a manual for deploying Forms to the Web.

  • General question regarding "parallelism" of iPhone execution

    I've got a general question and hope somebody can shed some light on this.
    While I'm relatively new to iPhone development I've been in software programing for more than 15 years now and have a solid background in Java, C, C++, C# and other languages. I've created a couple of applications for the iPhone, easy and complex ones, some using UIKit, others using Open GL and Open AL. With that said I think it would be fair to say that I know pretty much what I'm talking about.
    For those who tend to refer everybody back to the Apple Samples or PDF guides, please believe me, I've read them all.
    Here's my "question":
    I occasionally ran into a situation where I got the impression that code on the iPhone got executed in a "non sequential" or "parallel" manner even when I did not explicitly created threads. I'm not referring to code buried in a framework or so, I'm talking about code I've written. (English is not my mother tongue, so please excuse me if my explanation might be somewhat difficult to understand.)
    I try to give an example. Assume a code snippet like this:
    _gameEngine = [GameEngine alloc];
    [_gameEngine initSomeStuff];
    In my understanding the second statement (the initSomeStuff) gets executed once alloc returns and _gameEngine for sure is a valid pointer. Is that fair to say? I sometimes got the impression that the iPhone starts executing code without waiting that a method returned.
    I had similar issues when I tried to show an ActivityIndicator while another method was doing a lengthy operation. Pseudocode like this:
    [_activityIndicator show];
    [self longLastingOperation];
    [_activityIndicator hide];
    In code like the one above: Can I be 100% sure, that the hide message is not sent until longLastingOperation returns? I ran into a situation where I had the impression that show and hide got called immediately without waiting until longLastingOperation returned.
    Final example:
    [self performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(doSomething) withObject:nil waitUntilDone:YES];
    [self nextStatement];
    -(void)doSomething {
    [self longLastingOperation];
    1.) In the above code, I understand the idea is that doSomething will be executed on the MainThread and that nextStatement will in no way be executed before doSomething has returned. Is that true?
    2.) doSomething is supposed to run on the MainThread but does this hold true for longLastingOperation, too? Or could it be that longLastingOperation WITHIN doSomething gets dispatched to another thread and doSomething returns PRIOR to longLastingOperation been finished?
    This might all sound pretty wired but as I said from time to time I ran into a situation where I got totally confused as to how stuff executes in – or out of – sequence. I helped myself with using NSNotificationCenters etc. but I'd like to understand what's going on in detail and crystal clear here.
    Your help is more than appreciated.
    Thanks,
    R.
    Message was edited by: BeSharp

    It is never safe to assume that any allocation was successful, and while it's incredibly unlikely that you're running into any such situation, it's entirely possible for a formal protocol to declare that a given message send should return immediately without waiting around:
    http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/ObjectiveC/Articles/ch apter13_section_8.html#//appleref/doc/uid/TP30001163-CH9-BAJIGHAF
    An "impression" doesn't prove much unfortunately, so I'd recommend getting friendly with the debugger to see what's really going on.

  • Java Importer & Forms

    Hi,
    I have a forms application which includes some java, I have imported java into the form using the Java Importer in Form Builder 10g (9.0.4).
    The Big question is where do I put the classes on 10g Application Server (9.0.4.1/Solaris) ? The manual saw " Put the java classes on the middle tier, but where exactly ?
    Do I compile the java classes on the Application Server, can I place in the server as a JAR file or just individual classes ?

    Hi,
    You can deploy the java as jar file and as separate classes, although a jar file is the prefered method.

  • General question on SQL Server 2000 to Oracle 10g

    Hello all,
    I just have a general question on migration from SQL Server 2000 to Oracle 10g using SQL Developer.
    How does it migrate Users with proper privileges from SQL Server to Oracle? Follow the interface steps? Or should the users be created on destination Oracle side?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    It depends which type of migration you are making.
    For a 'Standard' migration when you migrate data a 'create user' statement is created as part of the migration and you will see this in the generated code.
    If you are using the 'Quick' migration option then you need to create the Oracle user or use an existing user to receive the data.
    Your best option is to review the documentation available from -
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration//workbench/index_sqldev_omwb.html
    or directly from -
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12151_01/index.htm
    and then get back with specific questions if this does not give you the information you need.
    Review the chapter -

  • Report Builder Question - OA AR Aging - and a general question

    I'm sure this is the wrong forum for this question, but I thought there might be someone here who might be using Oracle Applications and Report Builder who'd be kind enough to help me out.
    We've recently implemented Oracle Applications 11.5.10 and I have to use report builder to change the Accounts Receiveable Aging (7 bucket) to a 5 bucket report. I've already made some changes to the seeded "ARXAGMW.rdf" report, but I'm not a big Oracle Reports guy. I've stumbled through making some changes in various other reports. But this one is just plain nasty! :)
    I was thinking that I could simply add buckets 6 & 7 to bucket 5, then just hide or delete the 6 & 7 buckets. But I'm not sure where to even start. Any help with this would GUARANTEE a Christmas or other holiday card this year! :)
    I really want to keep this simple as possible, so any help would be very....helpful. :)
    Oh, my general question is: Are there any resouces/books for Oracle Reports (Report Builder)? I feel so lost trying to modify existing reports, let alone creating new ones.
    Thanks again!

  • General question about iTunes Match and multiple libraries

    Hello to everyone,
    I have a general question about the iTunes Match service, which is available since yesterday in my country (Italy). Currently my library situation is the following:
    Computer A (desktop, Windows 7): "big" iTunes library (about 20 GB), at the moment not associated with my Apple ID
    Computer B (MacBook Air 2011): "small" iTunes library (about 5 GB), associated with my Apple ID
    At the moment, both my iOS devices (iPhone 4 and iPad 2) are synchronized with the smaller library on the MacBook Air.
    Question is as follows: should I subscribe to iTunes Match, would it be possible to upload the "big" library (provided I associate it with my Apple ID) to iCloud while keeping my devices synchronized with the "small" one?
    Ideally, at the end of the day, the situation should be the following: both iOS devices with music from the small library + possibility of downloading songs from iCloud (coming from the big one). Is this possible?
    Maybe the question sounds stupid, but I want to be sure about this before paying for the service.
    Thanks a lot.

    Yes, you could also associate your larger library with iTunes match if you associated your Apple ID with it. However any purchases in the library made from another Apple ID will not be matched with iTunes much.
    If both libraries are part of iTunes match, then all your devices will see all of the content from both libraries, which content you choose to have on those devices and which you have accessible via iTunes match is entirely up to you.

    i just found this documentation Oracle Forms Developer and Forms Server 6i (Patch 4) at this adress
    http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/forms/forms/p4_relnotef.pdf

  • Where to direct a general questions about foreign films subtitles?

    I recently purchased a foreign film "Break Ke Badd" from the iTunes store. Although, it didn't specify that it had English subtitles, I assumed it did. After the full download, I tried to watch it and there weren't any English subs. I contacted iTunes and they more than happy to refund the money back to my account. Now after a few weeks, the iTunes store DOES list Eng subs for this film. I don't want to purchase it again and have to contact iTunes for another refund...Therefore my question is, is there a general question contact one could use to find an answer to my question. Basically, to verify that this movie, indeed has English subs before I re-purchase. 
    Any info is appreciated!

    Yes I know as the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/ Questions] section is more for desktop Firefox support and the place I linked to is for "Firefox OS" support in English where some who are involved with it do post in it occasionally.
    I would have moved that [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/962783 thread] to the "Firefox OS" English section, however I cannot as the [https://support.mozilla.org//questions/ Questions] and [https://support.mozilla.org/forums Contributor Forums] are not the same.

  • Camileo charging problem (solved) and a general question!

    Hi all!
    First of all, I was going to ask for help as to why the Camileo S10 was not charging (the orange light wasn't flashing), and I'd seen a few people with similar problems.
    The solution?
    Give the contacts on the battery a clean.
    The insulation sticker that comes on it must leave some kind of residue on it, and it's enough to prevent charging. Now it's flashing away happily :]
    So my general question was, is it possible/advisable to use the camera on the mains?
    Rather than constantly draining and charging the battery during long shoots, I'd prefer to just leave it plugged in!
    Thanks very much in advance!
    Paul

    Hi
    I think the battery handling is always the same no matter what product it is
    From time to time the battery should be recalibrated.
    This means that the battery should be discharged fully and after then you should charge it again until the battery would reach 100%
    I do this with all my batteries; mobile phone battery, digi cam battery and notebook battery.

  • Update on Bioinformatics WIKI, scripting challenges, and a general question

    I am waiting for my site to go on-line at Oak Ridge National Labs (USA, Tennessee).  Should be another week or so, maybe less.
    When that happens, you will see a veritable explosion of scripting challenges in my wiki (Emerging Technologies->Bioinformatics.)
    One general question in preparation for these challenges.
    There are a number of standard  bioinformatic programs that can be run interactively via the web at various sites, e.g. "BLAST" and "STRIDE". 
    Although these can also be run locally, this requires that you download large databases and keep them updated.
    So here's my question to the scripting experts:
    Are scripting languages powerful enough to submit queries to web pages and then use regex's to parse the html that is returned?
    Bill Mann has used PERL to do some of the required regex parsing, but there is a lot left to do, and, his stuff only works when a perl program is invoking a bioinformatic program locally, not interactively.
    If so, we all can do some beautiful stuff together , if anyone is interested ...

    ...my wiki on...
    There is by it's very nature no such thing as MY WIKI, except you run your own wiki project in an exclusive mode. Which were...well ... unusual.
    Are scripting languages powerful enough to submit queries to web pages and then use regex's to parse the html that is returned?
    Yes.
