Java newbie help: Need to change a graphic on screen
Hello everyone. I'm a long time C/C++ programmer, and I've been thrust into the Java world when I inherited an incomplete project. If something I mention later on sounds stupid, it's probably because it came that way, or I'm trying to force it into what I know from old experience.
FWIW, the project is being developed with Netbeans.
What I'm after is how to change a graphic object onscreen from within the code, vs. with a device such as a mouse. I'm trying to emulate an LED indicator.
What I've done so far is to try using the enable state, and defining GIFs to display. That didn't work.
I've switched gears a bit, and tried something similar with the selected property, but that will only work if I hit the item with my mouse and click. Also, the item is defined as a jToggleButton.
In general terms, what do I need to do to set this up for the displayed item to change without device input? I've been reading stuff about Buttons, ToggleButtons, Graphics, Images, and Icons, and I'm waaaaaay lost right now.
To add to the frustration is that I've done something similar with Visual C++, and that worked as intended. Harumph.
Help?!?

In case you don't know, you can use any editor to develop java code.

Is this not what you wanted?

Java newbie help (type casting, 64bit unsigned Long)
Hi I am java newbie and need help on my project. I have a few questions. Can you put strings in a hashtable and test for their being their with the appropriate hashtable method? I want to test for equal strings, not the same object. Second question can you use all 64 bits of an unsigned long? java doesn't seem to allow this. Any packages that do?
Thanks,
DaveTry casting it to Long instead of long. Long (capital L) is an Object, while long (lower case l) is not. You may also check to make sure the value isn't null. I would have thought that autoboxing would have worked here unless the value was null. But I am no expert on autoboxing.
Edit >> Checking for null ain't a bad idea but has nothing to do with the problem - this is a compile time problem. Sorry.
Also>> This code should work:
long cTime=(Long)session.getAttribute("creationtime");Edited by: stevejluke on Jul 1, 2008 11:00 AM -
Help needed regarding change of system CLASSPATH
Hi All,
I need to change the system CLASSPATH using my java programe. I tried the following code but its not working though it returns the correct CLASSPATH, but unable to do the modification. All I need is to append a new jar file in the existing CLASSPATH..
code]
try{
sysMap = System.getenv();
}catch(Exception se1){
System.out.println("Exception in finding Environment properties");
Set Keys = sysMap.keySet();
Iterator It = Keys.iterator();
while(It.hasNext()){
String strNow =(String) It.next();
if(strNow.contains("CLASSPATH")){
System.setProperty("CLASSPATH", ".;C:\\Calypso\\Software\\\\Release\\jars\\calypso.jar;C:\\Calypso\\Software\\Release\\build;C:\\Calypso\\Software\\Release\\build\\calypsofx;C:\\Calypso\\Software\\Release\\resources;C:\\Calypso\\Software\\Release;C:\\Calypso\\Software\\Release\\jars\\jconn2.jar;C:\\Calypso\\Software\\Release\\jars\\jaxb-1.0.4\\;C:\\Calypso\\Software\\Release\\jars\\javacup.jar;C:\\Calypso\\Software\\Release\\jars\\antlr.jar;C:\\Calypso\\Software\\Release\\jars\\ojdbc14.zip;C:\\Calypso\\Software\\Release\\jars\\web\\servlet.jar;C:\\Calypso\\Software\\Release\\jars\\web\\webserver.jar;C:\\Calypso\\Software\\Release\\jars\\ftp.jar;C:\\Calypso\\Software\\Release\\jars\\itext-1.02b.jar;C:\\Calypso\\Software\\Release\\jars\\Jama-1.0.1.jar;C:\\jdk1.5.0_10\\bin;C:\\Calypso\\Software\\Release\\webfx\\calypsoWebFXServer.jar;C:\\XXX.jar");
System.out.println("Classpath changed");
Any help will be appreciated.Hi Kaj ,
Well I am in a situation where we need to extend a
existing system and we are providing the client with
a new jar file for every modification. Now all I need
is that our programe automatically add (infect
append) the jar file in the existing system
CLASSPATH, so that the client need not to add(append)
the new jar files all the time.
Can you provide any help??As others have said, use -cp as argument when you start your application. It's quite common that people write a script that adds all jars in a certain directory to the argument to -cp.

Help needed for changing MATERIAL SALES TEXT
We have a requirement where in i need to chang the existing material sales text. GOTO --> ITEM --> TEXT --> Material Sales text. iwould like to know if it would be possible to do it using a CATT program?? If yes any pointers if no what would be the best approach for this.
You can also use a LSMW.
You are lucky, this is exactly the eg taken in SAP help :

J2ME to personal Java, how much need to change
I have an appilication that is written in J2ME. Now i'd like to experiment how it runs on PersonalJava devices, such as Nokia Communicator.
How much I need to change. The app is small pop-mail program, that fetches emails from my mail server. It uses HttpConnection. The Gui is build with few Form.
Am I right when I assume that just the GUI parts have to be re-written (using AWT), mostly all the rest works. If I compile existing code with Jdk 1.1, are the errors I get the changes I need to do... Or is there something else too ?
Thanks in advance,
P_trigThe Idea was not to test the app on Desktop, but to convert it to PersonalJava and I wondered how much there is to change before J2ME app runs in PersonalJave Device.
My app runs fine, I know that already, but I need to make another version of it for PersonalJava. IE, which elements of current versions have to be rewritten, that's my question, not how to emulate J2ME on desktop.
Thanks,

Newbie help needed w/Graphics class!
Hi everyone,
I'm stuck on something I know is very simple to do, but I can't seem to find the right combination. I have a derived class that draws a circle using the graphics class. I'm getting compilation errors when I try to set the color and draw the circle. I have looked thru these forums as well as the API. Below is my code. Any pointers would be highly appreciated!
import java.awt.Graphics;
public class SmartCircle extends SmartShape
SmartCircle(int first, int second, int third, Color c)
super(first, second, third, c);
public void draw(Graphics g)
setColor(Color c);
fillOval(first, second, size, size);
}Here is SmartShape. It is located in the same directory as SmartCircle, so therefore doesn't need to be imported, correct?
public abstract class SmartShape
//define instance variables
protected int positionX, positionY, size;
protected Color theColor;
public SmartShape()
//initialize variables
positionX = 20;
positionY = 20;
theColor = Color.white;
public SmartShape(int first, int second, int third, Color c)
if (first >= 0)
positionX = first;
else
positionX = 0;
if (second >= 0)
positionY = second;
else
positionY = 0;
if (third >= 0)
size = third;
else
size = 0;
theColor = c;
public abstract void draw(Graphics g);
Hope that helps!

Pricing : ABAP to Java conversion help needed
Hi all.
I am basically an ABAP developer. My recent assignment needs some java coding.
It will be very helpful if we anybody helps me in finding the corresponding pricing fields in java.
The abap code is as follows
check : xkomv - kgrpe = ' '.
check: xkomv - xkbetr ne 0.
check : komp - kpein ne 0.
if komp - netwr < 0.
komp - netpr = 0 - komp - netpr.
endif.
xkwert = ( ( ( komp - netpr * ( 100000 + xkomv - xkbetr)) / 100000)
komp-mglme / komp-kumza * komp - kumne / 1000 / komp - kpein )
- komp-netwr.
Please help in converting this abap code to its corresponding java code.
Thanks and Regards

Java Progrramming HELP, Needed Urgently, T hanks
hey guys,
I have this lab I need to be done tomorrow, its been weeks lol of thinking and figuring things out can someone make it work ? Pleaseeeee !
I feel like going out and yelling for help lol I have been trying to figure this out for weeks now.
I am pasting my Lab and My Codes I did so far, And Please I really need this done today at any rate, all help would be kindly appreciated.
A Java program is required that will produce a number of reports based on the data from the Product file. This file contains the product name, cost, quantity and UPC. The file name must be input. Valid data from the file will be loaded into an array.
A menu will provide the following options: (Note there are changes from previous assignment.)
1 Display of all valid product information including extended price and GST including totals sorted by name.
2 Display of all invalid records sorted by name.
3 Search and display a certain product by name.
4 Sort by UPC and use a binary search and display a certain product by UPC. (valid records)
9 Exit.
Processing requirements:
Input the data from a file and load the records into an object array. Use this object array to produce the above reports.
Code a class definition exactly as given in the following UML.
(For specific students: you may code the UPC as an integer but if not numeric throw an exception that is handled in main. Document your choice in your submission).
Product
? Name : String
? UPC : String
? Cost : Real
? Quantity : Integer
+ Product (Name : String, UPC : String, Cost : Real, Quantity : Integer)
+ Calculate Extended Cost() : Real
+ Calculate GST(): Real
Input Record:
Product name: String
UPC: String
Cost: real
Quantity: integer
Output Reports
1. Display of all product information including extended cost and GST including totals of these 3 fields.
Following is a sample of the output required:
************************ Product Cost REPORT ****************************
Product Cost Quantity Extended Cost GST Total Cost
Diamond Necklace 12345678901x 54,321.99 188 10,212,534.12 510,626.71 10,723,160.83
Tissues 98989898989x 1.99 2 3.98 0.20 4.18
TOTALS 10,212,538.10 510,626.91 10,723,165.01
2. Display of all invalid records and the count.
Following is a sample of the output required:
Invalid UPC Records = 1
Count Record
1 Tiara Diamond, 12345678901x, 36020.00, 2
3. Search and display a certain product by name. Display appropriate message if not found.
Following is a sample of the output required:
Enter product name: CrownJewels
CrownJewels 99999999991x 100,000.00 1 100,000.00 5,000.00 $105,000.00
6. Display the product information sorted by name
Following is a sample of the output required:
************************ Product Cost REPORT ****************************
Product Cost Quantity Extended Cost GST Total Cost
CrownJewels 99999999991x 100,000.00 1 100,000.00 5,000.00 $105,000.00
Diamond Necklace 12345678901x 54,321.99 188 10,212,534.12 510,626.71 $10,723,160.83
Pearls 88888888881x 10,000.00 1 10,000.00 500.00 $10,500.00

Java coding requirements for this assignment
Main methods required
1. Load array with all records. Display exception messages only for records that have invalid data in any of the fields. Return array of valid records and logical size.
2. Validate the UPC. Display each report when requested from the menu.
3. Justify the data in the columns. Right justify numeric fields; left justify the alpha fields.
4. A method for each report required in the menu.
Class methods
5. Use the object method for the extended cost.
6. Use the object method for the GST.
You may use additional methods in the main program but do not add any methods in the class definition.
Use DecimalFormat for rounding.
Create an array to hold the objects. Assume that we only need to process a file of a maximum of 500 records but the file may be larger than 500 records.
A Universal Product Code consists of 12 digits. The first digit (from the left) is the UPC type. The next five digits are the Manufacturer code. The next five digits are the product code which is assigned by the manufacturer. The final digit is the check digit. A person can determine the check digit of a Universal Product Code by doing the following:
Step 1: Sum all of the digits in the odd positions together.
0+4+0+1+5+9 = 19
Step 2: Multiply the sum from Step 1 by 3.
3 * 19 = 57
Step 3: Sum all of the digits in the even positions together.
6+2+0+1+8 = 17
Step 4: Sum together the results from Step 2 and Step 3.
17 + 57 = 74
Step 5: Subtract the sum from the next highest multiple of 10.
80 - 74 = 6 [check digit]
TEST DATA:
Step 1: Create 5 or MORE additional records that will test all conditions. Include these in your documentation. Identify what field is tested in your test data. (Example: error in each field of the record, rounding up, rounding down, valid UPC, invalid UPC, formatting of report, file too large
Step 2: Use the file attached.

Take care,1) It's your problem that you waited until the last minute before you went for help...not ours. We'll give your problem the same attention as anyone elses...therefore your problem isn't any more urgent than any other problem here.
2) I don't intend on doing your entire assignment. Nor do I intend on reading all of it. If you need help with a specific requirement, then post the information/code relevant to that requirement. I don't know how to help you when you bury the problem inside a 9 mile long essay.
3) Post code in tags so it's formatted and readable. (there's a *code* button up above that makes the tags for you). -
Hi,
I am trying to develop a Java Event Calendar which is able to display the calendar weekly. So the JPanel will be setup with 7 JLists for the days of the week. Buttons will allow switching of the days of the week, months and year.
Each JList corresponding to the day of the week will have its data obtained from the database using JDBC and loaded upon 're-drawing' of the lists.
However i am having trouble with the GUI side in understanding how to implement this, i am confident with the JList and database side of things, i have just used a similar example using the Calendar API for monthly displays, however i am unsure how to convert this to a weekly calendar.
Ideally 7 JLists will always be available in the panel in order M,T,W,T,F,S,S but some will be set to inactive (for example in the first and last weeks of the month).
If anyone has any suggestions please could you help me out :)
Sorry if what im trying to do is a bit confusing.
I've included the code i've been using for the monthly calendar
THANKS!!

Sorry for the change of screen name, i'm having trouble with my old account.
I have now got most of the system working. However I am having trouble working out how to stop the last days of the previous month appearing in the first week of the next month. For example on 'July 2008' , days 29 and 30 of June are present in the first week of July. How can i get rid of this? And also for the last week of the month, how to get rid of the first days of the next month?

Java SDK Help Needed URGENTLY!
Hi, as part of my uni course I am required to learn Java. Until now, I have only used it at uni and everything works fine. However, I decided to download Java 2 SDK from the Sun website (version 1.3.1_01).
I am using Textpad as the editor and just installed Java by running the 32mb installer file. Textpad works fine and Java was installed to c:\jdk1.3.1_01
Now, i created this simple program (from my tutorial notes) in Textpad:
// The code below is held in a file called Exmpl1.java
// This is Example1
// The program requires you to type in your name.
// Your name and a welcome message are then output to the screen
import java.io.*;
class Exmpl1M
static BufferedReader keyboard = new
BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader(System.in));
static PrintWriter screen = new PrintWriter(System.out,true);
public static void main (String[] args) throws IOException
String name; // The place to store data entered from the keyboard
// Prompt to the user of the program
screen.print("Please enter your name ");
screen.flush();
// Get the data (a name) entered at the keyboard
name = keyboard.readLine();
screen.print("\n\nHello " + name );
screen.println(" - Welcome to programming with Java\n\n");
String lab; // The place to store data entered from the keyboard
screen.print("What lab are you working in? ");
screen.flush();
// Get the data (a lab) entered at the keyboard
lab = keyboard.readLine();
screen.println("\n\n" + lab + "is a nice place to work!" );
} // End of method main
} // End of class Exmpl1M
I know this file works ok because i have tested it on the uni computers. The Exmpl1M.class file is created where the Exmpl1M.java file is stored. It will compile fine using the Tools>Compile Java menu option.
Now, here is the problem: when i go to Tools>Run Java Application, I get the message
"Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Exmpl1M
Press any key to continue..."
Now, seeing as how i am new to Java, i have no idea why i am getting this message. Should I have changed any settings when i installed Java? I'm guessing it may have something to do with "method main" in the coding, but we have always been told to put this but not told why.
Please help cause i need to be able to write the progs at home tooIs the name of the class the same as the class file
Maybe you mixed up Exmple1 and Exmpl1M
If this is ok then try this:
I do not know Textpad so
open Terminal/Console/DOS-Box go to directory where your Exmpl1.class file is located.
Type in
java Exmpl1
If the program runs now some configuration in Textpad is wrong.

Help, need to change IP address on host database for Portal
Hi folks,
Rather urgent assistance (as usual) needed. I have an installation working correctly on a pair of Win2k machines, one as the 9i database, one as the 9iAS/Portal. The app server has 2 NIC cards, one with public IP address (which is ok), one on the LAN. I need to reconfigure the LAN addresses on both the machines. Initial Portal install done without DNS, i.e. actual server/host addresses entered in the configuration.
I have tried changing all of the TNS/Listner settings and the NIC card IP addresses and restarting the machines. The likes of SQLPlus work ok, with the TNS connect name allowing over the LAN access into the database with the new LAN addresses. I cannot seem to get the 9iAS/Portal to find the repository with the new addresses.
Can someone help please? I can't find the answer in any documentation or other postings.
Thanks in advance
RobThere are other modes of operation for the plasst as well. I am listing them below but the formatting will make it difficult to read. If you like I can email it to you.

ptlasst.bat -mode SSOPARTNERCONFIG -i typical -sdad portal -host myApache.domain.com -port 7777 -silent -verbose
NOTE:
(1) This command would create a new Portal partner application in the SSO to reflect the changes of the Infrastructure. Before running this command please ensure to configure the SSO with the correct hostname by running the ssocfg.bat script located in the Infrastructure install (<infra_home>\sso\bin).
The value for -host parameter will be the IP address of the infrastructure server and -port will be the port where the infrastructure http server is running on.
Configuring Portal when the HTTP server host name of the Middle tier is changed
ptlasst.bat -mode MIDTIER -i typical -host myApache.domain.com -port 7777 -ldap_h myOID.domain.com -ldap_p 389 -ldap_w welcome -pwd secret123 -portal_only -oh /home/oracle -chost myHostname.domain.com -cport_i 8001 -cport_a 8000 -wc_i_pwd invalidator -mc false -mi true -silent -verbose
NOTE :
(1) The -host value should match the serverName value of the httpd.conf
(2) The -chost should be updated with the correct webcache hostname. In a default iAS midtier install the -host is same as the -chost.
The value for -host parameter will be the IP address of the midtier(portal) server and -port will be the port where the portal is running on.
Parameter Description Default Value Mandatory
-i install_type Installation Type
In the typical mode, the OPCA would get the Infrastructure information like the Portal schema name, Portal schema password, connect string to the Portal repository, SSO Partner application schema and password, SSO Password store schema and password and connect string to the SSO repository from the Repository Access API's.
In the custom mode, the OPCA would take whatever is passed as the command line arguments.

5) Also assign the DNS Addresses on the Xbox, Use DNS1 and DNS2 Addresses you took note off of the router status tab as Primary DNS & Secondary DNS for the xbox...
6) Turn off your modem, router, and Xbox...Wait for a minute...
7) Plug the modem power first, wait for another minute and plug the router power cable, wait another minute and turn on the Xbox and test it...it will connect... i have firmare 1.0.01. i am using 2 Pluglink 9650 Powerline Ethernet Adapters to connect to my xbox for xbox live. if u need anything else let me know. PLEASE SOMEONE HELPWhat device is upstream from the router? If you have a modem that acts as a router as well, then you might have a double NAT problem. It's a well documented problem and can usually be solved by bridging the modem or configuring the router to work as a switch only.

Newbie help needed with Applet
I am having a problem with the following Applet. I have highlighted it in bold.
How can I ensure that all of the conditions are met regardless of the order they are inserted on the graph,within the program?
At the moment I have to do them in the exact order they are in the code in order to get the "Winner" message.
Also if I insert an image at any time at the point if(x >= 290 && x <= 350 && y >= 290 && y <= 350) I also receive the "Winner" message. I realise this happens because it is the last line of code in this statement.
However I am very new to this and dont know how to fix it. Indeed I dont even know if this is the correct way to do this.
Hope this makes sense.
Any help would be very much appreciated

}Since your code is heavilly dependant on which square is clicked on I'd define a class extending JComponent to represent a square. You can make this an inner class, which would simplify access to other squares etc. Then lay these out in your JPanel, and each will have it's own paint method which will paint it with or without a pawn.
At the same time you add all these as a two dimensional array for logical access. Each square has (or is) it's own mouseListener so that you can let awt figure out which you clicked on.
private static final int CELL_SIZE=50;
private static final int BOARD_SIZE= 8;
private class Square extends JComponent implements MouseListener {

Newbie - help needed with array and dictionary objects
Hi all
Please see the code below. I've posted this code in another thread however the original issue was resolved and this is now a new issue I'm having although centered around the same code.
The issue is that I'm populating an array with dictionary objects. each dictionary object has a key and it's value is another array of custom objects.
I've found that the code runs without error and I end up with my array as I'm expecting however all of the dictionary objects are the same.
I assume it's something to do with pointers and/or re-using the same objects but i'm new to obj-c and pointers so i am a bit lost.
Any help again is very much appreciated.

it's the tempAuthors objects.
It's an NSMutableArray which is create on the line before the start of the WHILE loop.
Having looked through the debugger, I can see that each dictionary object is created (with different codes which I assume are memory addresses) so all is well there. However, on each iteration of the loop in the middle there is an IF...ELSE... statement which in the ELSE section is clearing all objects from the tempAuthors array and beginning to repopulate it again.
Looking at the containing dictionary objects in the debugger I can see that the tempAuthors object that each contains has the same code (again, I'm assuming this is a memory address) - so if I understand correctly, it's the same object...I assumed that when I created the dictionary using the dictionWithObject call that I would be passing in a copy of the object, but it's referencing back to the object which I then go on to change.
Assuming the above is correct, I've tried several "stabs in the dark" at fixing it.
I've tried relasing the tempAuthors object within the ELSE and initialising it again via an alloc...init - but this didn't work and again looking through the debugger it looks as though it was confused as to which object it was supposed to be using on the following iteration of the WHILE loop (it tried to access the released object).
Having read a little more about memory management can someone tell me if I'm correct in saying that the above is because the tempAuthors object is declare outside the scope of the WHILE loop yet I then try to re-instantiate it within the loop (does that make sense???).
Sorry for the long post...the more I can understand the process the less I can hopefully stop relying on others for help so much.
I am continuing to read up on memory management etc but just not there yet.
