Managing java files and packages

Hi,
I am just starting out with java and have reached the stage where I want to store my files in packages and the correct directory structure. I have read through the sun link below and have a question they seam to miss. They say that .java and .class files should be kept in separate places. ie sources and classes directories with the package directory names below. But I have found that unless you have the .class files you are referencing in the same directory as the .java files when you come to compile you will get an error so they have to be stored in the same directory???.. Does this make sence or have I gotten it all wrong.
Thanks

You should put path containing your classes in your classpath. There is a -classpath option in javac.

Copying files from same directory as *.java files and moving to WEB-INF/classes/ package name

In our current application we have the following source directory structure:
          src -
          - com
          - edeploy
          - subdirs ... (many directories here)
          - jsp
          -subdirs ... (many directories here)
          In com.edeploy.subdirs, there exists *.java files, and *.gxq files (query
          files). I would like to modify my build.cmd script to copy the *.gxq files
          into the same directory as the class files.
          Here's my script so far:
          @REM Create list of files to compile
          DIR /S /B /A:-D src\com\*.java >class.list
          @REM Create list of query files
          DIR /S /B /A:-D src\com\*.gxq >query.list
          @REM Compile
          javac -d stage\WEB-INF\classes @class.list
          @REM Copy query files into class directory
          .......... code needed here ......
          Can anyone help me with this?

Open module for managing property file and environment variables

Looking for an open module for managing property files and environment variables (like CLASSPATH) set in a shell script. For handeling properties (preserving comments, supporting includes, appending new entries, and more) I have looked at SuperProperties from openadaptor but find certain functionality lacking. As for interfacing with common shell scripts/files containing setting for CLASSPATH, JAVA_HOME, other system/application variables another type of object editor is needed. Maybe JFIG?
Any ideas are greatly welcomed.

You seem wright, you hit a brick wall here with Air to find the location
of the command console on windows...
So in fact I never build an exe tool, but this little problem was a nice
case to test it and I tried it.:
I downloaded monodevelop
-GTK# for .NET 2.12.10*
-MonoDevelop 2.4.2*
from http://monodevelop.com/Download
created a console project and had an exe in 5 minutes !
You can download the findconsole tool and the projectfiles here:
http://greencollective.nl/temp/dump/findconsole_monoproject.zip
findconsole.exe will reveal the path/location of cmd.exe on a windows system.

How to compile other java files and run them from my own programs?

I'm developing a unit testing tool for AspectJ, which can originally generate the stubs for aspect unit to be tested. All these stubs are java files. After generation of stubs, how can I program the code to compile this unit together with these stubs, i.e. how can I put the functionality of compilation and run, e.g. command "javac *.java" and "java *", into my own code.
Hope you can understand what I mean.
Thank you in advance.

When I use Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command) for executing the AspectJ compile command "ajc", "IOException createProcess error=2" always occurs, while it is ok for Java comiple command "javac".
Why this happens when I use Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ajc Hello.java Test.aj")? Is it the reason that Runtime.exec(String) may not support any command in DOS?
(ajc is the compile command for the java file and aj file.)
Thank you in advance.

Latest version of Lightroom will not download RAW files from my D750. How does one get around this? Bought Lightroom for it's ability to manage RAW files and now very disappointed.

Latest version of Lightroom will not download RAW files from my D750. How does one get around this? Bought Lightroom for it's ability to manage RAW files and now very disappointed.

Here is the contents of a batch file which will convert whatever raws you drop on it:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe DNG Converter" -cr7.1 -dng1.4 -p0 %*
Once you download the latest converter (release candidate from adobe labs, if necessary), and save the appropriate contents of the batch file (change path to match your system, and parameters to match your druthers, if applicable), the procedure is:
1. Drop raw files on bat file.
2. Import as usual (the DNGs).
Not too bad once you're set up (if DNG converter supports your raws).
Documentation:
http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/photoshop/pdfs/dng_commandline.pd f
Note: on Mac, you may need to use "$@" (with the double-quotes) instead of %* (which is dos batch syntax), and you will need to use the full path to the converter executable file, e.g.
“/Applications/Adobe DNG Converter.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe DNG Converter”
If too much, just use the GUI instead of the bat file.

Managing JAVA JDK and JRE with Package Management in Solaris 11.1

I want to manage Java JDK & JRE in an Solaris environment using Package Management I'm currently running Solaris 11.1 in a VMWare host. My current latest Java release is JDK1.7.0_07 and JRE1.7.0_07. I want to upgrade to JDK1.7.0_17 & JRE1.7.0_17 using Package Management. I've tried on several occasions to upgrade to latest release of Java but I have not been successful. Each time I try using the Package Management GUI or use command line they appear to be successful but the new release does not show.
What could I be doing wrong?
Thanks

I also learned that the READMEs for the following patches in My Oracle Support also describe the downgrave process:
Patch 18362676: JAVA 6 DOWNGRADE INCORPORATION FOR ORACLE SOLARIS 11.1.15.4.0 AND 11.1.16.5.0

Import statement in .java files and .jsp files

Guys I have few mysteries about this import statement.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
1)Suppose if I have a folder c:\SourceFolder it has one.java and two.java files.If I compile one.java then one.class files is created in c:\ClassFolder .Now two.java uses one of the method of one.java,and without using import statement I am able to compile two.java, and two.class file is created in c:\ClassFolder.I assume that the path of one.class was taken from the CLASSPATH environment variable,hence I there was no need for import statement .........am i right ?
BUT... in My.jsp,which is in C:\JspFolder, if I want to use one.class,then I have to specifically import the class I want to use.That is i have to say
<%@page import="one"%>
and since the classpath is C:\ClassFolder ,it finds one.class in the C:\ClassFolder.(Note that My.class is created in a folder different from c:\ClassFolder )
But I am wondering why was there no need for me to import one.class in two.java.
(Note I am using JDeveloper and Apache server)
Please help.
In this case the pSo I am wondering in JSP why it doesn't take the class I am looking for from the classpath .
Help.

You have to understand Java scoping rules. In the 1st scenario with the two Java files I am guessing neither one of them begins with a package statement. This means that they belong to the default package. When you compile the compiler uses the classpath to resolve method calls looking in the default package since there was no import statement specified in two.java. JSP is a little different. Now I just read this here in these forums a couple of days ago. Since the classfiles generated from the JSP files are not in the CLASSPATH they are loaded by a different classloader. This is why you have to import all references to all classes in the default package.

It has to do with packages. Most java classes are in a package, the name of which must conform to its place on the filesystem relative to the classpath. By that I mean that if you have com.mystuff.One.java, it must be in a folder com/mystuff where com is located somewhere in the classpath.
What you've done is a little different. I'm assuming a couple of things:
1. you have no package declaration at the top of one.java or two.java
2. you have the current directory "." in your classpath.
Java has the concept of the "default package", which covers classes without a declared package, and in your case is the current directory.
So when you're in c:\sourcefolder and run the compiler, then "."="c:\sourcefolder", and that directory is part of the default package. No import statements are necessary for classes that are in the same package. This is why two.java can call methods in one.java without an import statement.
When you run your jsp, the "current directory" part of your classpath is not c:\sourcefolder, but some other value (probably the directory you start your jsp engine from) You will have to import all non-java-library classes because the jsp itself becomes a java class, with a package that is determined by the jsp engine.

Using Runtime exec() method to run java files and return runtime errors

Hi
I'm writing a java editor and I use
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command)
to compile the java files. That works fine and I deal with the returned errors using the getErrorStream().
My questions are:
1. Can I use the same technique for returning runtime errors. In any posts I've read the process runs from begining to end, returning the errors after completion. How do I return the errors of the app as they happen interactively?
2. If i cant use the exec and getErrorStream() methods then does anyone know how it is done?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Converted WSDL into .java-files - and now?

I should implement a client for an existing web service. All I have is a .wsdl-file of the web service to call.
Therefore I used the eclipse's functionality to convert .wsdl into .java files, which generated some files for me, for example:
- interface XXX extending java.rmi.Remote
- interface XXXService extends javax.xml.rpc.Service
- class XXXProxy implements XXX
- class XXXServiceLocator extends org.apache.axis.client.Service
- class XXXSoapBindingStub extends org.apache.axis.client.Stub implements XXX
- class XXXRfcException extends org.apache.axis.AxisFault implements java.io.Serializable
- class XXXRfcExceptions implements java.io.Serializable
My question... what to do now? How can I get the service and call its functionality?
Your help is really, REALLY appreciated...

Hi,
Write client application like below.
public class Client{
public static void main(String [] args) throws Exception {
// Make a service
XXXService service = new XXXServiceLocator();
// Now use the service to get a stub which implements the SDI.
AddressBook port = service.getAddressBook();
// Make the actual call
Address address = new Address(...);
port.addEntry("Russell Butek", address);
Thanks&Regards,

Unable to add java files with package statement

Hi all,
I have the following problem. I add to my project(JBuilder8) a set of java files that
they have in their headers the statement...
package jp.gr.java_conf.tame.swing.table;except one with statement...
package jp.gr.java_conf.tame.swing.colorchooser;If i try to compile the project i get the following message many times for
each file...
"AttributiveCellRenderer.java": Error #: 901 : package
jp.gr.java_conf.tame.swing.table stated in source
C:\Development\JBProjects\cellspan\AttributiveCellRenderer.java does not
match directory . at line 4, column 36What i have to do to embed correctly the java files?
Thank you for advance, kostas.

Sounds like your source file is in the wrong directory. The directory the file's in has to match the package.

Data in .jsp or HTML form fields, to a JAVA File and DB

Hi,
I am new to the JAX-RS, I have a form where I fill in some details, There is a submit button towards the bottom of that form, when I click submit, it needs to do two actions:
1) Pass the data in different fields through different variables to into a JAVA file. I am not sure on how to call a JAVA file or program's method from either .HTML or .JSP
2) Extract the data from the fields and populate a DB through JDBC Connection
Your help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

If you're looking for some to write the code for you, you're in the wrong place. If you've tried to write it yourself, but are stuck on an error message, logic issue, or something similar, feel free to ask a question!
If you submit code, don't forget to use the code tags. If you submit an error message, be sure to copy the entire message and stack trace.

Difference between jar file and package?

What is difference between a package and jar?
Is a jar a package? or is package jar?
If I say
package pink;
does it mean pink is folder or jar?
what if I say import pink.rose;
does it import jar file with the rose class inside it?

These two concepts are unrelated. A jar file is nothing more than a zip file of class files and other related resources, which you can use to 'bundle' your application for ease of deployment. Th use of zip files is not mandatory.
Packages on the other hand, are a means of 'packaging' parts of an application or library in their own namespace, generally for reasons program structure, and to avoid naming collisions. A bunch of classes in a package will be compiled into a bunch of class files, on a one-to-onwe basis (one file per class).
You may chose to 'bundle' those and other classes into a jar file.
