JavaFx integration in Java swing api

Hello!
Can anyone please tell me how to integrate javafx 1.3.1 scene into java swing application.
Regards, guis.
Edited by: user7393177 on 2.2.2011 12:25

You need to have a look at JFXtras 0.7 rc 2 [http://code.google.com/p/jfxtras/] and the org.jfxtras.scene.JXScene class.

Does Seagate Crystal Report Be Integrated with Java Swing

Hello All
We are developing java programs for quiet some time now, But what we are trying to do now is can we do the things what VB can do , Thatis the reports from the Database Query can be formatted into Crystal reports
I use Forte For java Sun One Studio 4 For developing Swing Applicatioon
If Any of U can give me idea, ie a report not in HTML format But Crystal Report, PLease Le me know
Regds

Are you developing an Applet or a standalone application?
The way I'd handle this is to install the Crystal Reports web server and then call these reports from the web simply by specifying an appropriate URL.
By the way: the Crytsal reports server also handles report requests in Netscape with JAVA (IE with ActiveX)
so perhaps this is the right corner to look for answers

Entry points for integrating Openoffice writer into Java swing application

I googled the web and also took a look in below 2 web sites, just seems it is very difficult to get an entry point for me to try my frist application with open office writer integrated with my swing application.
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/OpenOffice.org_Developers_Guide
http://api.openoffice.org/
What my question is:
1. Where can I get the completed jar files for using the open office writer api for my java application?
2. Is there any step by step practical example for using the api? It seems that the above links are quite messy and difficult to find an entry point to get a start, but just contain many segments separated through out the web site.
Thanks much for any suggestion.

Information regarding OOo is not on Sun websites, or in these forums. There may be 3rd-party sites that have some info regarding OOo use.

You find examples and code by searching the internet, not by using forums.
Start with The Java Tutorials - it has trails for the bulk of the Java functionality.
See the trail 'How to Write an Undoable Edit Listener'
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/events/undoableeditlistener.html
You learn by DOING - not by reading. Actually DO the tutorial example and try to understand WHAT it does and HOW it does it.
Then search for other tutorial trails that are of interest.

Java applet using the Swing API

write a Java applet using the Swing API to manage a PC repair shop. When a PC is brought in for repair, a member of staff will use this applet to log it into the system as a repair job. They will also be able to use the applet to manage the job e.g. allocate a person to carry out the repair and enter costs.
You must not use a tool such as JBuilder to generate Java code. If you use code from elsewhere e.g. a text book, you must highlight the code and state the reference clearly and include a photocopy of the relevant pages from the text book or other source.
You should hard-code some initial data into your applet. You should not store any data in a file or database.
Level of functionality you should attempt to implement:
Level 1 � Your applet should:
a.     As a minimum, your program should store (in memory) at least 10 repair jobs. For each repair job, you need to store:
�     The name and phone number of the customer bringing the PC in for repair;
�     A brief textual description of the problem;
�     Whether the PC is under warranty or not.
b.     Your program must allocate and display a unique number for the job once it is accepted.
c.     The user must be able to view the details of jobs. They should be able to select either:
�     All the jobs in the system; or
�     Jobs being carried out under warranty.
Level 2 � Your applet must meet the requirements for level 1. In addition it should:
a.     You should carry out appropriate validation checks on input data e.g. the phone number contains all digits.
b.     System should cope with an unlimited number of jobs.
c.     The user should be able to select a job and then allocate a repairer to that job.
d.     The user should be able to display a list of jobs for each repairer.
Level 3 - Your applet must meet the requirements for level 1 and 2. In addition it should allow the user to:
a.     Select a job and input the cost of repair for:
�     the number of hours labour;
�     parts.
b.     Select a job and present the user with a cost for the labour (hard code an hourly labour cost) and parts, plus a total for that job. For jobs under warranty the total will be zero, however the cost of labour and parts will be shown.
c.     Be able to inform the business of the total expected income from the all the jobs in the system that are not under warranty.
Level 4 � Your applet must meet the requirements for level 1 to 3. In addition:
a.     The user should be able to enter a job priority which can be identified as high, medium or low.
b.     Each repairer should be able to view a list of their jobs in order of priority.

Done, what next ?

PL/SQL and Java Swing interface

Everybody in this forum knows that Oracle is the best database around
with many functionalities, stability, performance, etc. We also know
that PL/SQL is a great language to manipulate information directly
in the database with many built in functions, OOP capability,
transaction control, among other features. Today an application that
manipulates information, which needs user interface, requires components
to be developed using different technologies and normally running in
different servers or machines. For example, the interface is done using
a dynamic HTML generator like JSP, PHP, PL/SQL Web Toolkit, etc.
This page is executed in an application server like Oracle iAS or
Tomcat, just to name two, which in turn access a database like Oracle to
build the HTML. Also rich clients like Java applets require an intermediate
server to access the database (through servlets for example) although
it is possible to access the database directly but with security issues.
Another problem with this is that complexity increases a lot, many
technologies, skills and places to maintain code which leads to a greater
failure probability. Also, an application is constantly evolving, new
calculations are added, new tables, changed columns. If you have an
application with product code for example and you need to increase its
size, you need to change it in the database, search for all occurrences
of it in the middle-tier code and perhaps adjust interfaces. Normally
there is no direct dependency among the tier components. On another
issue, many application interfaces today are based on HTML which doesn't
have interactive capabilities like rich-client interfaces. Although it
is possible to simulate many GUI widgets with JavaScript and DHTML, it is
far from the interactive level we can accomplish in rich clients like
Java Swing, Flash MX, Win32, etc. HTML is also a "tag-based" language
originally created to publish documents so even small pages require
many bytes to be transmitted, far beyond of what we see on the screen.
Even in fast networks you have a delay time to wait the page to be
loaded. Another issue, the database is in general the central location
for all kinds of data. Most applications relies on it for security,
transaction and availability. My proposal is to use Oracle as the
central location for interface, processing and data. With this approach
we can create not only the data manipulation procedures in the database,
but procedures that also control and manage user interfaces. Having
a Oracle database as the central location for all components has many
advantages:
- Unique point of maintenance, backup and restore
- Integrated database security
- One language for everything, PL/SQL or Java (even both if desired)
- Inherited database cache, transaction and processing optimizations
- Direct access to the database dictionary
- Application runs on Oracle which has support for many platforms.
- Transparent use of parallel processing, clusters and future
background technologies
Regarding the interface, I already created a Java applet renderer
which receives instructions from the database on how to create GUI
objects and how to respond to events. The applet is only 8kb and can
render any Swing or AWT object/event. The communication is done
through HTTP or HTTPS using Oracles's MOD_PLSQL included in the Apache
HTTP server which comes with the database or application server (iAS).
I am also creating a database framework and APIs in PL/SQL to
create and manipulate the client interface. The applet startup is
very fast because it is very small, you don't need to download large
classes with the client interface. Execution is done "on-demand"
according to instructions received from the database. The instructions
are very optimized in terms of network bandwidth and based on preliminary
tests it can be up to 1/10 of a similar HTML screen. Less network usage
means faster response and means that even low speed connections will
have a good performance (a future development can be to use this in
wireless devices like PDAs e even cell phones, just an idea for now).
The applet can also be executed standalone by using Java Web Start.
With this approach no business code, except the interface, is executed
on the client. This means that alterations in the application are
dynamically reflected in the client, no need to "re-download" the
application. Events are transmitted when required only so network
usage is minimized. It is also possible to establish triggering
events to further reduce network usage. Since the protocol used is
HTTP (which is stateless), the database framework I am creating will
be responsible to maintain the state of connections, variables, locks
and session information, so the developer don't need to worry about it.
The framework will have many layers, from communication up to
application so there will be pre-built functions to handle queries,
pagination, lock, mail, log, etc. The final objective is to have a
rich client application integrated into the database with minimum
programming and maintenance requirements, not forgetting customization
capabilities. Below is a very small example of what can de done. A
desktop with two windows, each window with two fields, a button with an
image to switch the values, and events to convert the typed text when
leaving the field or double-clicking it. The "leave" event also has an
optimization to only be triggered when the text changes. I am still
developing the framework and adjusting the renderer but I think that all
technical barriers were transposed by now. The framework is still in
the early stages, my guess is that only 5% is done so far. As a future
development even an IDE can be created so we have a graphical environment
do develop applications. I am willing to share this with the PL/SQL
community and listen to ideas and comments.
Example:
create or replace procedure demo1 (
jre_version in varchar2 := '1.4.2_01',
debug_info in varchar2 := 'false',
compress_buffer in varchar2 := 'false',
optimize_buffer in varchar2 := 'true'

Is it sound like Oracle Portal?
But you want to save a layer 9iAS.
Basically, that was the WebDB.(Oracle changed the name to Portal when version 3.0)
Over all, I agree with you.

I would like to build 'ZOPE' inside Oracle DB as a back-end
Using Flash MX as front-end.

Certificate support in Java Swing application

Hi There,
I am new to this Certificate thing and running into issues! Would appreciate for all the help and please ignore for any stupid questions.
Here is my scenario.
1. I do have a client server application and client is a java swing application which connects to a Server application (Using Jetty 4.2.22 as embedded server)
2. Initially, it had a self signed certificate but goal is to support third party certificate (i.e import in the server and then show warning to the client during login)
If somebody has already done this or point me to some example (using Jetty APIs) that would be great help. If not, here is what I am trying to do and some questions.
1. I tried to get some free SSL certificate from the web and imported into the server's KeyStore.
If I do a list from the server using Keystore, this is what it looks like
keytool -list -keystore /tmp/keystore -storepass genview
Keystore type: JKS
Keystore provider: SUN
Your keystore contains 2 entries
self, Dec 3, 2008, PrivateKeyEntry,
Certificate fingerprint (MD5): 0D:58:E8:77:89:09:F8:2B:37:64:37:D5:03:AD:C9:0B
rapid, Jan 6, 2009, trustedCertEntry,
Certificate fingerprint (MD5): 64:9C:EF:2E:44:FC:C6:8F:52:07:D0:51:73:8F:CB:3
QUESTION 1 : why the third party certificate's entry as "trustedCertEntry"? Is it always like this? Do I need to have only one certificate at a time? (If so, just remove the self signed and have 3rd party one)
My Jetty server comes up but when I connect from Client Swing App, the "getServerCertificates()" method only returns one entry i.e self signed one but not the third party one.
I am using like this
URL url = new URL("https://127.0.0.1:port");
HttpsURLConnection conn = (HttpsURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.connect();
Certificate[] certs = conn.getServerCertificates();
Is not this API supposed to return all the server's certificate?
Please guide me or instruct me what to do.
Thanks,
CRB

Java Swing/AWT and FX is so old school! Give me HTML and CSS for GUI!

Dear Java,
I am a seasoned programmer and I feel it's time JAVA implements a GUI system where it uses HTML and CSS for the GUI. For the love of god just look at the interfaces you can make using HTML and CSS alone. I am a big fan of Java Swing and the recent GUI designer for FX is quite cool. But they are just not as simple as HTML and CSS. And JavaFX has some interesting requirements for the graphics.
I know it is possible to use JavaFX and implement the WebView/WebDriver and make it load a HTML page, etc... but why go through all the trouble?
Just imagine... if you make Java where it has powerful back-end to do what it does best and the HTML/CSS powered GUI on the front-end. It will make the lives of many developers much much easier.
I am not sure whether a Swing designed GUI will be faster than a HTML designed GUI... but if you look at a traditional browser and how fast it renders HTML/CSS, I am sure if Java had a native Form where it uses HTML and CSS to render the GUI, Java will make the dreams of many programmers a reality.
Make it happen!!!!

Java Swings Vs Flex which is better?

Hi,
I do not know whether this is the right place to post this thread. We are planning to replace Java Swings client with Adobe Flex GUI. So I am in the process of analyzing the performances and advantages of Flex over Java Swings.
So, Can any one kindly let me know whether Flex supports all the features of Java Swings (like components... etc).
Actually my backend server is also Java and the communication between client and server is based on CORBA.
So, considering all these constraints please comment on this.
Regards,
Purush.

Both support object-oriented GUI development. The same core ideas apply to both, so the jump for a developer isn't too intense. Perhaps the largest difference is that Flex has XML layout files which is a nice plus (although many abuse the capability of injecting logic into it as well). JavaFX is the Java-world answer to Flex, so you may want to play around with that first since it will be more familiar.

How to use a DropDownList in Java Swing.Its very very Urgent

Hi Sir,
Here i need to know how to do (or) create a dropdownlist by using Java Swing.I know that there is JMenuBar & JMenuItems without using that when i click a JButton for example the dropdownlist should come from the top to bottom.I have already posted this quesion once.And i found that it has been removed.So i hope that this time i will get a better answer.Pls.do provide the code as well sir.So that i will be very thankful to u.Since i am involved in a project which contains this
feature.It is very very Urgent.So pls.do provide the code i will be waiting for the reply.
Thanx,

Java Swing - save JPanel as GIF/JPEG.

WE are using Java swing to draw graph(Genes, SNP ,repeats etc related to bio-informatics).text files we are using are quite big eg- more than 25 MB. first it makes the process slow.One of our problem is to save whatever "we draw as an image file(GIF/JPEG file)" and another problem is save a data in a data structure(array,vector) which grow upto 15-20 MB.
plotting this data makes the speed too slow.We want to optimize this.

For saving images have a look at JAI - the Java Advanced Imaging API. It's got fairly straightforward ways of saving images. Note that saving as GIF images is not recommended; patents were placed on the encoding so it's no longer a free option. PNG will give you lossless compression like GIF but is more flexible.
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jai/
Saving the generated (mined?) data structure for future retrieval can be quite straightforward depending on how you're doing it. The easiest way is simply to serialise it (use an ObjectOutputStream) but this has compatibility problems if you change your data structure.
Saving out in a custom format may seem like a lot of work but it's not all that hard to do. Alternatively you can use one of the Java to XML convertors - in your case this might generate too large a file, however.
YOu can always use Java's zip functions to improve file size should this become problematic.
Hope this helps

File diplay concept in java swing

i want to display pdf page and xml page in java swing.
whether it is possible.
pls help

well i cant understand ur question first.
if u just wanna display them just as text files just create a text area and use the setText() method and write all the documents content into it(i assume u know how to read a file using streams)
i dont know whether it will work so simple for pdf files for their document structure might vary.
for pdf files try using iText API library...
if u wanna do processing those files use JAXP for xml and iText for pdf...i hope this necessaily answers ur questions.

Draggable buttons in Java Swing

Hi,
I want to develop an application in Java Swing. The application I am going to develop is an application for developing other applications. I want my application to include a button which also acts as a drag and drop UI element. For example, I want my application to include a button for adding a picture. There are 4 buttons of different pictures. If a user wants to add a picture he can either click on one of these buttons and that picture will be added somewhere on the screen or dragging this button and drop it and that picture will be added where he dropped that button.
Could anyone please tell me
1. If I can develop an application which includes Drag and Drop UI element if I develop it in Java Swing
2. If a button (or other UI element) can act as both a button and a drag and drop element if I develop my application in Java Swing
3.
Could you please tell me where I can find some screenshots of applications which has been developed in Java Swing? I am not familiar with this program and I am not that good at programming, so I would like to get some impression of how it might look like.
Thanks in advanced

1. the good thing about Swing is that it is very flexible and with clever programming you can do just about anything. The problem is that depending on your requirements, this could require a great deal of programming that can be very hard to implement such that it works properly on all popular platforms (windows, linux, mac).
2. see 1.
3. Swing applications are "skinnable", you can give them a great number of different appearances. The default is to give the application a system look and feel, so they look pretty much like any other application for that platform. This means that when you run your application on Windows, it will look like a Windows application, if you run it on a Mac it will look like a Mac application, etc.
I am not familiar with this program and I am not that good at programmingThat is quite a problem, because Swing is not the easiest API around. It requires a solid knowledge of Java and Object Oriented Programming in general as the entire API is based heavily on OOP concepts. To get a better idea of Swing, read through the Swing tutorial here:
