JBuilder 8 Forms

In JBuilder 3 I can enter data on a form which is then saved as a .dat file and can be accessed and updated through the form. Linked forms show different data sets.
I've tried to do the same in JBuilder 8, but without success. I get the following error message
java.io.FileNotFoundException: file.dat (the system cannot find the file specified)
In JB3 the application creates the file. Do I need to learn something new here?
Any suggestions much appreciated.

This could be a classic example of why IDE's for beginners are just plain bad, bad, bad, bad. You must look at your code. It is probably creating/accessing the .dat file relative to the current dir in your java application (your program). Your JBuilder3 probably had the current dir setting in the IDE set to the root folder of your current project. I bet you have loaded this into your new JBuilder8 and neglected to point the IDE setting (the current dir setting) to the right directory for your project. If you understood the behaviours of relative file access in Java programming better, the problem would probably be obvious. Curses to the darn IDE ...not recommended for children under twelve certainly applies here. It hampers your understanding.
I don't know where to locate that setting though, I don't use JBuilder. Hunt for it.

Make IDE independent code

Hi
Can anyone tell me how I should use JBuilder to design my forms and at the same time make the whole code IDE independent (because i would use other editors or even a notepad to do the programming)
Thanks this would be a great help
Can someone atleast provide me with a link where i can discuss about JBuilder. I havent found any working forums which is dedicated to it (the borland's one asks to register the product).
Thanks in advance

Even JBuilder generates a class that will instantiate the components, then you cna change this class.
But keep in mind that if you try to modify it in JBuilder after you have done somehing on this code, you can get in a sitation where JBuilder's form builder will fail to open it. But you will always be able to edit it as an ordinary class.
In our company we prefer to code GUI without using form builders.

Building Form with JBuilder 3

Could please somebody tell me how to build a form in JBuilder.
What I wish to do is have a form that will eventually(hopefully)
read data from a file. The trouble is that I cannot find any
tutorials on JBuilder 3.
I can program in Java, but nothing that involves guis!
Any help will be appreciated...

Look at this, do the stuff under JBuilder Projects
http://rockwood.csd.unbsj.ca/~cs/jbuilder/
Then just go to the design tab, click on a component (JLabel perhaps) from the component bar, click on the form, and it magically appears. Change the text in the properties window. Tada...
Lots of tutorials if you click on tutorials on the left of this page.
May I sugget the Swing tutorial

JBuilder with JGoodies Forms ?

I have used Abeille Form Designer to create myself a good looking Swing form and I have copied to code to my JBuilder class. Up to here everything is OK.
But is there a way to work out the littles glitches from the JBuilder designer or do I have to go back to Abeille and recopy the whole thing back to JBuilder (maintaining two things is bad).
Is there a way to separate the layout from the code ? Like MVC, but pure Java only ?

I have found a way to do MVC code with the Abeille genereated forms, but is it possible to use the JGoodies FormLayout from JBuilder directly ?
I have read some code from http://info.borland.com/techpubs/jbuilder/jbuilderx/designui/i1_layouts.html#custom_layouts but is there an OpenTool thingy to do it directly (plug-in like) ?
Thanks!

Mysql driver and Jbuilder 2005 foundation

I am trying to connect to a mysql server using jdbc and the mysql drivers. Specifically version 3.1.7. I will post my code here although I believe the code is correct and that I have a classpath issue with jbuilder. The error I am receiving on both build and run time is:
Exception in thread "main" java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver
     at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(Unknown Source)
     at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(Unknown Source)
     at methodclassespkg.DummyTester.main(DummyTester.java:39)
I installed the mysql .jar driver file in the jdk1.5/lib/ext as the read me file that came with the drivers stated. I have changed the default jdk to the jdk1.5 update 2 that I installed. I imoprted the .jar driver file into the project and even added the file under tools/configure/libraries. But I still receive this error witht his code
package methodclassespkg;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;

Again I am running the free version which does not allow me to access the enterprise tab, I mention this because I saw a solution to this issue that allowed for importing the database driver using tools/enterprisesetup/database drivers. but I do not have access to this functionalitity.
Jeremy Reed

Thank you for the fast response from everyone. WIth you assistance I did reach a solution. I turns out I wasnt calling the driver correctly, syntactlically.
For anyone googling a similar issue as mine, for j connect, your statement must be in the form of jdbc:mysql://yourhost/database?user=name&password=password
that was my mistake

Differences between jdeveloper&jbuilder

Hello everybody!!!!
I'm trying to understand the difference between jdeveloper&jbuilder but.....no result!!!
I would develop a project wich should connecting on Oracle database and making statistics with data (it have been stored from file with SQLLOAD), and also it should read an UDP messages(port514) and store them to database ,so I can't decide wich programming langage to use...and wich are the better???
Thank you.

thank you for your reply!!!!
so I have installed an Oracle 8i on my PC(OS=XP Pro) ,and I think that is not possible to use jdeveloper (is it necessary to uninstall it and install Oracle9i?what I should do?)and I haven't a big knowledge about jdeveloper (making interfaces"Forms",writing SQL command,connecting to database,it's like developer2000 ?,and also the BIBeans should I install it or it's integrated with Oracle9i?(if you have an example with this tool please send it to me on my e-mail([email protected])and thank you very much

First one is simple
1. I am using the "Build Rich Client Forms in JDeveloper using ADF swing .. Tutorial "
when i select New Application , I cant see Java Application Swing ADF BC value from the application Temp in drop down ?? What am i misssing .???
The second issue is bit complex I am doing the Tutorial SRDemo
I am doing on page 2 14 of Tutorial creating EJBS Session Beans when Running the Wizard I dont see
Generate Session Facade
Entity Implementation
Options, subsequently the screen shot on next page does which has all the methods are not appearing.
Also when adding code (2-16) in SPPublic FacadeBean Iam getting snytax error for

but should I change something before I do that ?
public ServiceRequests createServiceRequests

user.addCreatedBy(newInstance);

newInstance.setRequestDate(null);
newInstance.setProblemDescription(problemDescription);
uow.commit(); return newInstance; }
==============
Other than that in previous steps I came across a few interesting Scenarios
While following the step by steps operation of Tutorial I see on 2 6 when I was adding code to manage Default Value while I was doing the code adding
public Integer getNextLineItem() {
int maxLineNo = 0;
for (ServiceHistories svh:getServiceRequests().getServiceHistoriesCollection()){
if (svh.getLineNo() !=null) {
int testLineNo = svh.getLineNo().intValue();
if (testLineNo > maxLineNo){
maxLineNo = testLineNo;
return ++maxLineNo;
for (ServiceHistories svh:getServiceRequests().getServiceHistoriesCollection()){
I kept on getting the compile error for type casting, which when I tried to compare the source provided at the end of the chapter I found the type cast generated by Jbuilder was missing
public List <ServiceHistories> getServiceHistoriesCollection() {
return this.serviceHistoriesCollection;
2.Another interesting thing I came across was by default the wizrd created the names of these variables and there corresponding getter and setter methods as user1 and user2, which lead to some confusion while doing Named query section on 2 9 (Once again I took care of the problem by doing File comparison with the )
private ValueHolderInterface createdBy;
private ValueHolderInterface assignedTo;
3. Also by default on 2 - 12 When I was Creating Top link Session, I didnt get any session.xml file. ( tutorial presumed I will get one by default )
4. Last is it normal to get Warning when getting report for POJO mapping for some of the Tables

How to embedded css in Struts using JBuilder 8

Hi everyone,
I have a serious problem in my GUI. Currently i am doin a web portal using struts,Enterprise JavaBean(EJB).
The softwares i am using are Jbuilder 8 and Dreamweaver MX.
The interface of my portal is coded in html with css involved.The problem is that once i converted my html coding into struts format using JBuilder 8, the css cannot be read in the struts.(For example, my font size,color,border is the what i have defined in css)
I have try to covert the html coding into 3.0 Browser compatible using dreamweaver MX. Although it is able to display some of the things that is specified in the CSS,
but some tags are still lost.
I will like to know if there is any method,steps or tag that i should take note in my coding so that i can embedded my CSS into my struts using JBuilder 8 without affecting my form color,aligments,size type,etc...
Regards,
Jong Hann

Hi bidris2003,
i have try the 2 different set of coding.The result is still the same. It doesn't read into the css thing. I have create a folder called css in WebPortal folder. The rest of my jsp pages are in WebPortal folder.
Example:(1) my jsp page contain in side the WebPortal folder.
C:\Documents and Settings\u\Desktop\GamePortal(with css)\WebPortal
(2) My css contain in css folder
C:\Documents and Settings\u\Desktop\GamePortal(with css\WebPortal\css

Getting Java Beans working with Developer Forms 6i

Hello everyone,
I have been trying to get Java Beans to work with the Developer Forms 6i. I keep getting diffrent errors depending on the bean I play with. I will detail the problems and the computer setup. I am sure this problem is a configuration one, I just dont seem to have enough experiance to determine the issue or the configuration problem.
Here are the problems I am encountering:
Problems 1:
--JDeveloper 10g
I cant see the VBean class. When I add this code, the VBean decleration comes up with an error.
import oracle.forms.ui.VBean;
public class MyNewClass extends VBean
public Class1()
This code shows the IMPORT statement with a wavy blue line under it and the word VBean after the extends also has on. I understand that this means that the JDeveloper cant find the class, I just cant seem to find the correct environment variable to set to point to this.
Second Problem:
--Forms 6i
I open forms, and create a new form. I then add a datablock and a canvas. I open the canvas and drop the BeanArea component on the canvas. I enter the fully pathed/qualified Bean in the Implementation Class and get one of three errors. Either a FRM-13008, a FRM-99999 with a 13009 or a 13010 error. I suspect that the 13008 error is because the bean I created does not have the correct decleration types or IView interface calls. My problem is that when I load any of the Oracle provided beans I get the 13009 or 13010 errors. I have looked here and in Metalinks for some kind of solution that I haven't already tryed, but to no avail.
Any advice on either of these problems would be appreciated. Please keep in mind that we cant upgrade to version 9 or 10 yet (silly aif force and their regulations), so those type of solutions arn't usable to me.
Here is the configuration information that I know about. If there is more information that can be provided or I need to provide more information, please let me know and I will get what I can.
Thanks,
Bill Hunsicker

Ok, I added the f60all.jar to the project. This allowed me to create the file using the VBean. I created the JAR file and copied it to the forms60/java directory. I also copied the new .class files to the forms60/java/mil/af/rs/leads direcory.
I then edited my formsweb.cfg file and had to add the jinit_archive tag. I set it = f60all.jar, P3load.jar. I also added my P3load.jar file to the default archive tag.
When I open up Forms, drop the bean area component on the canvas, and set the Implementation Class, I still get an error (13008), and when I run the form in web, and click the button to invoke the bean I get no response from the bean.
here is the code to invoke the bean. in_filename is a text component on the canvas and contained in the CTRL block. The bean area is named BEAN (because the demo was that way).
:in_filename := get_custom_property('BEAN',1,'getFileName');
synchronize;
Not sure where to go from here, but thanks for the help so far.

Java Beans and JBuilder

Hello,
I have written a small java program and the user can drag the push button on to his form. By calling the bean box i am able to do the same.Can anybody tell is there a possibililty for me to add the bean to the visual javabeans designers.
Thanks in advance.
Reg,

In JBuilder you can add you own JavaBean through menu Tools|Configure palette. On appeared dialog choose Add components tab and there you are able to add your own library.
Hope this helps...

Want in implement Java oracle Forms.

Hi,
I want to learn how to implement java in oracle form, and that to I want it using oracle forms builder and not using Jbuilder.
E.g. implementing Java Beans in oracle forms.
As I am a begineer in this field, please guilde me from where I should start and what I should read for this.
Thanks,
Ashish

If you talk about creating Java components for Forms, you can't avoid using a Java IDE - but Oracle has JDeveloper, and it's free! :) What you need is basic knowledge about Java and how Forms can interact with Java components, and the links from Francois should give you a good starting point for that.
You can also find a lot of inspiration of what you can do with Java in Forms at Francois' blog:

Thanks Nelash. That is good to know. Where can I find more details on this. Here is what I am trying to do. Take the input from the customer and set them as bean parameters to invoke the WebService with a submit button. I want to render the results on the same page. Here is the sample. How do I convert the following into Sites tags?
        <form action="XXXXXXXXX.jsp" method="POST">
            <table>
                <tbody>
                    <tr>
                    <td>
                            <input type="text" id="toCountry" name="toCountryId"/>
                    </td>
                    <td>
                            <input type="text" id="fromCountry" name="fromCountryId"/>
                    </td>
                    </tr>
                    <tr>
                        <td colspan="10" align="left">
                            <button type="submit">Submit</button>
                        </td>
                    </tr>
                </tbody>
            </table>
        </form>
<jsp:setProperty property="toCountry" name="conversion" value="${param.toCountryId}" />
<jsp:setProperty property="fromCountry" name="conversion" value="${param.fromCountryId}"/>

Jbuilder suddenly won't work

Hello,
After using Jbuilder X Foundation happily for several weeks it suddenly refused to work this afternoon. The problem seems to be that it can no longer open/display files. When launched from the command prompt, a number of NullPointerExeptions occur. These are in the form
"Null pointerExeption at com.borland.primetime......"
I haven't listed the whole thing as I've already searched pretty hard on the www, and this string seems not to appear any where obvious. (or not obvious as it goes)
Initially I thought it was something silly that I did, and have tried pretty much everything I can think of. New install of both JBXF and the SDK from sun, even update install of Windows. But no, what to do?
If anyone here has experience of this or ideally a sollution, I'd be greatfull.
Yours kindly (with a classpath intact)
Adam Green

Nope, it's not having it...
Instead, I've switched to JBuilder 9 personal, and it's fine.

What is the easiest way to assemble forms in Swing ?

Dear friends,
I�m doing a nice job with GridBagLayout, and my forms are well designed as well.....
but now I have to share my tasks with some other guys without swing experience... and I�m afraid to teach GridBagLayout will cause more problems than productivity....
I have decided to use some framework or another layout manager,....
can you tell me what is the easiest way to construct forms in Swing ??
best regards,
Felipe Ga�cho

First off, make them learn GridBagLayout as well as the other layout managers (like BorderLayout). Have them play around with JBuilder's visual editor, making note of what changes visually do to the underlying code, etc. It will serve them well.
I have yet to find an "easier" layout manager that doesn't at some point tie your hands and end up making life more difficult. With GridBagLayout, BorderLayout and use of subcontainers, you can do anything you might need. :-)
I wouldn't say absolute positioning is anti-Java.
It's certainly more work to deal with in most cases.
. You can always get the screen resolution and
adjust your sizes accordingly. It's still 100% pure
Java code. It is anti in that it doesn't follow the general spirit of Java. Yes it will be 100% Java code, but it will be at least 90% crap as well. :-) You then can't easily do localization, changes in the look & feel mess up your app, your components won't resize properly, any change to a label's text causes you to have to tweak everything, etc. Ghastly stuff. It is the lazy way to get the GUI to look like someones mock up, but that is all it's good for.
If you run across a GUI done with absolute positioning, you have my permission to give the responsible developer an atomic wedgie.
