Problem with htmlText

I'm having a problem displaying htmlText properly in Text and
TextArea controls.
My application has a Rich Text Editor control which allows
users to enter text and save it to a MySQL database via PHP. No
modifications are made to the text before saving it in the
database. When the saved text is retrieved from the database and
displayed in the Rich Text Editor control the text is displayed
exactly how it was entered. However if I retrieve the text from the
database and display it using a Text or TextArea control the first
line is always indented even though the text is not entered with
any indentations and there are no indentations when the text is
displayed in the Rich Text Editor control.
Anyone have an idea what could be causing this?

Try setting prettyPrinting and prettyIndent on the XML object
to false.

Problems with the richTextEditor and quotes

Hello
I'm having problems with quote chars and the richText
control's htmlText. When users enter quotes into the richTextEditor
control. The quotes breaks the HTML text, meaning it's no longer
well formatted. Is there an escape char that I need to use. Or do I
need to force some kind of refresh on the control prior to using
the htmlText string?

I have been using RTE in a content management system and
found a need to replace non-standard quote characters with proper
UTF-8 character counterparts. Curly quotes in particular are
problematic. Use a replace function to substitute non-standard for
standard characters.

Best reguards
Mis

alrighty then try this xml structure.
Note: formatting information like b, or linkage tags should
not be part of the xml.
The XML format is a universal format for data, if you fill it
with style information this is not good practive (in general, there
are of course scenarios where it makes sense, also since (x)html IS
also XML).
In your case you want to put the information about multiple
companies in a xml file, but you let the flash decide how to
display format this information.
so if you use the sugested XMl structure you will have full
control of the layout within flash, because you can grab every
piece of information from the xml and place it jsut where you want
in flash and format it within flash.
Of course this process is more coding work than your previous
attempt, but it pays of when you have a lot of data to process and
when you want to have full control of the final layout.
But maybe its overkill for your application (I don't know how
many companies will be stored in your xml and how complex the rest
of the app is).

Problem with unicode in MIME text/html

Hi;
I have a java program that sends email by sending it to our exchange server using SMTP. The email has both a To and a Bcc in the single email sent.
The bcc addressee receives the email fine.
The to address however has a problem with chars that are > 0x7f in the html. The html uses utf-8. But the displayed characters look as though the utf-8 part was ignored.
Also weird, if I go to view, options in Outlook for the bcc email (which is good) it shows:
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary="----=_Part_0_32437168.1135634913407"
Return-Path: [email protected]
X-OriginalArrivalTime: 26 Dec 2005 22:08:33.0366 (UTC) FILETIME=[E94D1F60:01C60A68]

Content-Type: text/html; charset=Cp1252
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
------=_Part_0_32437168.1135634913407--
But for the to email (which has the problem), it only shows:
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary="----=_Part_0_32437168.1135634913407"

Does javamail do anything weird when it gets an email with a to and a bcc and split it up wrong? I just download and installed the latest mail.jar and activation.jar.
thanks - dave

OK...this didnt quite cure it for me...but having done this AND then this...
MimeBodyPart htmlText = new MimeBodyPart();
final String htmlStuff = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>"
+ "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN\" \"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd\">"
+ "<html xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\" xml:lang=\"en\" lang=\"en\">"
+ "<head>"
+ "<title>Stuff.</title>"
+ "<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"application/xhtml+xml; charset=utf-8\"/>"
+ "</head><body>"
+ "Currency Symbols: \u00A3\u00A2\u20A3\u20AC$"
+ "</body></html>";
DataSource htmlSource = new DataSource()
private String stuff = htmlStuff;
private Charset cset = Charset.forName("utf-8");
public String getContentType() { return "text/html"; };
public java.io.InputStream getInputStream() throws IOException
return new ByteArrayInputStream(cset.encode(stuff).array());
public String getName()
return null;
public OutputStream getOutputStream() throws IOException
throw new IOException();
htmlText.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(htmlSource));
htmlText.addHeader("Content-Transfer-Encoding","base64");
This works for me as shown by the Unicode chars in the html.
If you intend to take this to production create a decent external DataHandler class and avoid the use of the anonymous class - which then avoids the need for the final String and the string can come from anywhere then.
Hope this helps,
Barry

Problem with append += text in Text Field

Hi guys
i have a problem with append text.
I have one array which contain some city names, like CityArea=["NAME 1", "NAME2" ...etc];
Then i have one String and one Text Field.
Using for loop im getting right results. But when im running script again then im getting same text again.
F.ex.
First time:
City name: Name 1
City name: Name 2
Second time:
City name: Name 1
City name: Name 2
City name: Name 1
City name: Name 2
I have tried to make TextField to and String to Null and delete it, but it's appearing again.. :/
How to avoid this?
Here is script:
for (var i1:int = 0; i1 < CityArea.length; i1++)
_CityAreaString1 += " "+CityArea[i1]+"";
_CityAreaString1 += " ";
_CityAreaTF1 = new TextField();
_CityAreaTF1.border = true;
_CityAreaTF1.wordWrap = true;
_CityAreaTF1.multiline = true;
_CityAreaTF1.selectable = false;
_CityAreaTF1.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
_CityAreaTF1.name = "CityAreaTF1";
_CityAreaTF1.embedFonts = true;
_CityAreaTF1.htmlText = _CityAreaString1.toUpperCase();

I think i found why.
There was no problem with TextField.
There was a problem with Array. "CityArea"
So each time I executed script it added new string in Array. And that is because i got like:
TextField
City 1
City 2
City 1
City 2
Running this script is Ok:
for (var i1:int = 0; i1 < CityArea.length; i1++)
_CityAreaString1 += " "+CityArea[i1]+"";
_CityAreaString1 += " ";
But outside of this for loop there is another for loop for adding Cities in CityArray.
I fixed it by adding empty array at the start of function
function myFunc():void
CityArea = [ ]; // Empty array fixed this issue
// LOOP FOR ADDING SHOPS IN CITY AREA
for (var j:int = 0; j < _Shops; j++)
CityArea.push(_Shop);
// FOR LOOP TO ADDING SHOPS IN STRING
for (var i1:int = 0; i1 < CityArea.length; i1++)
_CityAreaString1 += " "+CityArea[i1]+"";
_CityAreaString1 += " ";
Thank you for your help kglad

AntiAliasing broken when using TLF with HtmlText

Hey Guys, I'm struggling with two issues using TLF within Flash CS5.
1) I'm unable to get Anti-aliasing to work when using TLFTextFields in combination with htmlText.
If I draw a TLFTextField on the stage within Flash IDE and set its Anti-aliasing to Readability then it will anti-alise correctly. If i dynamically change the .text property via AS3, then it still remains crisp, however If i change its .htmlText property Anti-aliasing is disabled and the text looks jagged.
e.g.
var tlfTxt:TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
tlfTxt.htmlText = "Testing quick";
tlfTxt.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
addChild(tlfTxt);
What is the best way to achieve Anti-aliasing this way?
The same happens if I set a tlfMarkup and specify a TextFlow with styling.
Also how am I able to change weight when using TextFlow? If I have Century Gothic Regular and Bold each embedded within my library, and exported for Actionscript using DF4, which works using the above htmlText example, how do I get Bold to work using the below example?
var tFlow:String = "<TextFlow xmlns='http://ns.adobe.com/textLayout/2008' fontFamily='Century Gothic' fontSize='24'>Testing quick</TextFlow>";
tlfTxt.tlfMarkup = tFlow;
2) I'm unable to get embedded fonts to work when using TextConverter.TEXT_FIELD_HTML_FORMAT
I can successfully use embedded fonts when using TextConverter.importToFlow(markup, TextConverter.PLAIN_TEXT_FORMAT); however as soon as I switch to using TextConverter.TEXT_FIELD_HTML_FORMAT the embedded fonts no longer work. Does anyone know how to overcome this?
Cheers,
Tim

Tim,
I think both issues you're seeing are the same problem, as I believe the htmlText property uses the TextFieldHTML filter. But I haven't been able to reproduce either issue yet.
When I set htmlText using the same font as I specified on the stage (or I omit the font tag entirely) I'm seeing antialiased text. If I use a font in the markup that's different than what I specified on the stage I'm getting a fallback font that's antialiased. The fact that I get a fallback font (even when I specify a font I have installed) suggests to me that it's still trying to use an embedded font after the htmlText property is set.
What happens for you if you do not have a font tag in your HTML? If that looks better there may be a mismatch between font names between the markup and embedding.

A problem with threads

I am trying to implement some kind of a server listening for requests. The listener part of the app, is a daemon thread that listens for connections and instantiates a handling daemon thread once it gets some. However, my problem is that i must be able to kill the listening thread at the user's will (say via a sto button). I have done this via the Sun's proposed way, by testing a boolean flag in the loop, which is set to false when i wish to kill the thread. The problem with this thing is the following...
Once the thread starts excecuting, it will test the flag, find it true and enter the loop. At some point it will LOCK on the server socket waiting for connection. Unless some client actually connects, it will keep on listening indefinatelly whithought ever bothering to check for the flag again (no matter how many times you set the damn thing to false).
My question is this: Is there any real, non-theoretical, applied way to stop thread in java safely?
Thank you in advance,
Lefty

This was one solution from the socket programming forum, have you tried this??
public Thread MyThread extends Thread{
     boolean active = true;
     public void run(){
          ss.setSoTimeout(90);
          while (active){
               try{
                    serverSocket = ss.accept();
               catch (SocketTimeoutException ste){
               // do nothing
     // interrupt thread
     public void deactivate(){
          active = false;
          // you gotta sleep for a time longer than the
          // accept() timeout to make sure that timeout is finished.
          try{
               sleep(91);
          }catch (InterruptedException ie){
          interrupt();
}

Problem with Threads and a static variable

I have a problem with the code below. I am yet to make sure that I understand the problem. Correct me if I am wrong please.
Code functionality:
A timer calls SetState every second. It sets the state and sets boolean variable "changed" to true. Then notifies a main process thread to check if the state changed to send a message.
The problem as far I understand is:
Assume the timer Thread calls SetState twice before the main process Thread runs. As a result, "changed" is set to true twice. However, since the main process is blocked twice during the two calls to SetState, when it runs it would have the two SetState timer threads blocked on its synchronized body. It will pass the first one, send the message and set "changed" to false since it was true. Now, it will pass the second thread, but here is the problem, "changed" is already set to false. As a result, it won't send the message even though it is supposed to.
Would you please let me know if my understanding is correct? If so, what would you propose to resolve the problem? Should I call wait some other or should I notify in a different way?
Thanks,
B.D.
Code:
private static volatile boolean bChanged = false;
private static Thread objMainProcess;
   protected static void Init(){
        objMainProcess = new Thread() {
            public void run() {
                while( objMainProcess == Thread.currentThread() ) {
                   GetState();
        objMainProcess.setDaemon( true );
        objMainProcess.start();
    public static void initStatusTimer(){
        if(objTimer == null)
             objTimer = new javax.swing.Timer( 1000, new java.awt.event.ActionListener(){
                public void actionPerformed( java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt){
                          SetState();
    private static void SetState(){
        if( objMainProcess == null ) return;
        synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
            bChanged = true;
            try{
                objMainProcess.notify();
            }catch( IllegalMonitorStateException e ) {}
    private static boolean GetState() {
        if( objMainProcess == null ) return false;
        synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
            if( bChanged) {
                SendMessage();
                bChanged = false;
                return true;
            try {
                objMainProcess.wait();
            }catch( InterruptedException e ) {}
            return false;
    }

Thanks DrClap for your reply. Everything you said is right. It is not easy to make them alternate since SetState() could be called from different places where the state could be anything else but a status message. Like a GREETING message for example. It is a handshaking message but not a status message.
Again as you said, There is a reason I can't call sendMessage() inside setState().
The only way I was able to do it is by having a counter of the number of notifies that have been called. Every time notify() is called a counter is incremented. Now instead of just checking if "changed" flag is true, I also check if notify counter is greater than zero. If both true, I send the message. If "changed" flag is false, I check again if the notify counter is greater than zero, I send the message. This way it works, but it is kind of a patch than a good design fix. I am yet to find a good solution.
Thanks,
B.D.

Problem with threads running javaw

Hi,
Having a problem with multi thread programming using client server sockets. The program works find when starting the the application in a console using java muti.java , but when using javaw multi.java the program doesnt die and have to kill it in the task manager. The program doesnt display any of my gui error messages either when the server disconnect the client. all works find in a console. any advice on this as I havent been able to understand why this is happening? any comment would be appreciated.
troy.

troy,
Try and post a minimum code sample of your app which
does not work.
When using javaw, make sure you redirect the standard
error and standard output streams to file.
Graeme.Hi Graeme,
I dont understand what you mean by redirection to file? some of my code below.
The code works fine under a console, code is supposed to exit when the client (the other server )disconnects. the problem is that but the clientworker side of the code still works. which under console it doesnt.

Problem with threads and camera.

Hi everybody!
I've a problem with taking snapshot.
I would like to display a loading screen after it take snapshot ( sometimes i
have to wait few seconds after i took snapshot. Propably photo is being taken in time where i have to wait).
I was trying to use threads but i didn't succeed.
I made this code:
display.setCurrent(perform);
        new Thread(new Runnable(){
            public void run() {
                while((!performing.isShown()) && (backgroundCamera.isShown())){
                    Thread.yield();
                notifyAll();

            public void run() {
                try {
                    this.wait();
                } catch(Exception e) {
                    exceptionHandler(e);
                photo = camera.snapshot();
                display.setCurrent(displayPhoto);
        }).start();This code is sometimes showing performing screen but sometimes no.
I don't know why. In my opinion performing.isShown() method isn't working correctly.
Does anyone have some idea how to use threads here?

Hi,
I've finally managed to work this fine.
The code:
       Object o = new Object();
       display.setCurrent(perform);
        new Thread(new Runnable(){
            public void run() {
                while(!performing.isShown()){
                    Thread.yield();
               synchronized(o) {
                  o.notify();
        }).start();
        new Thread(new Runnable(){
            public void run() {
                try {
                    synchronized(o) {
                       o.wait(1);
                } catch(Exception e) {
                    exceptionHandler(e);
                photo = camera.snapshot();
                display.setCurrent(displayPhoto);
        }).start();

Problem with threads hanging

We have a problem where our application stops responding after a few days of usage. Things will for fine for a day or two, and then pretty quickly threads will start getting hung up, usually in places where they are allocating memory
We are running WebLogic 8.1 SP2 on Sun JDK 1.4.2_04 on Solaris 8 using the alternate threading model and the -server hotspot vm. We are running pretty much the same code that we had no problems with under WebLogic 6.1 SP4 and Sun JDK 1.3.1.
A thread dump usually shows that some or all of our execute threads are in the state "waiting for monitor entry" even though they are not currently waiting on any java locks. Here is a sample thread from the thread dump (we have ~120 threads so I don't want to post the full dump).
=============================================================================================

String.java line 1446 for this jdk allocates a new String object, and all the other threads in this state also are creating new objects or arrays, etc.
We've done a pstack on this process when it's in this state, and the threads that are in the "waiting for monitor entry" that look like they're allocating memory are all waiting on the same lwp_mutex_lock with some allocation method that's calling into the native TwoGenerationCollectorPolicy.mem_allocate_work (see pstack output below for the same thread as in the thread dump above)

Has anyone ever seen anything like this? I'm trying to figure out if this is caused by something we're doing, or something relating to our environment and jvm options. Any ideas?

Thanks for the reply - I'm testing our app with the +UseConcMarkSweepGC now in our test environment to make sure it doesn't cause any problems there. Unfortunately the only place we've had this problem is on the production server, so it's extra difficult debugging this.
We're using the following memory options:
-ms512m -mx512m -XX:NewSize=128m -XX:PermSize=192m -XX:MaxNewSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=192m -XX:SurvivorRatio=8and the following debugging options, as we've also been seeing OutOfMemoryErrors ( see http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=37&thread=522354&tstart=45&trange=15 )
-verbosegc -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:+PrintHeapAtGCBTW, which c++filt version and options are you using? Our Solaris boxes only seem to have the GNU version installed. I was trying to run that on some of the other stack traces and wasn't getting anywhere, and didn't know if because it was GNU version wouldn't work on something compiled with the Sun compiler.
Thanks!

Problem with threads and ProgressMonitor

Dear Friends:
I have a little problem with a thread and a ProgressMonitor. I have a long time process that runs in a thread (the thread is in an separate class). The thread has a ProgressMonitor that works fine and shows the tasks progress.
But I need deactivate the main class(the main class is the user interface) until the thread ends.
I use something like this:
LongTask myTask=new LongTask();
myTask.start();
myTask.join();
Now, the main class waits for the task to end, but the progress monitor don`t works fine: it shows only the dialog but not the progress bar.
What's wrong?

Is the dialog a modal dialog? This can block other UI updates.
In general, you should make sure that it isn't modal, and that your workThread has a fairly low priority so that the UI can do its updating

Problem with threads and/or memory

I'm developing an application where there are 3 threads. One of them sends a request to the other, and if the 2nd can't answer it, it sends it to the 3rd (similar to CPU -> CACHE -> MEMORY). When i run the program with 1000-10.000 requests, no problem occurs. When i run it with 300.000-1.000.000 requests, it sometimes hangs. Is this a problem with the garbage collector, or should it be related to the threads mecanism.
(note: eache thread is in execution using a finite state machine)

i had been running the program inside Netbeans.
Running the jar using the command line outside
Netbeans i have no more problems... Does Netbeans use
it's own JVM?Depends how you set it up, but look under the options. There are settings for the compiler and jvm that it uses.

Installation problem with NW'04 SR1: database connection failed

Hi all,
while installing NW '04 SR1 on Windows Server 2003 SP1 and MS SQL Server 2000 SP4 I ran into an error related to the database connection. While performing the step "Load Java Database content" SAPinst crashes with the message
com.sap.sql.log.OpenSQLException: Could not load class com.ddtek.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver.
The connection to the SLQ Server with e.g. the Query Analyzer is OK. I had a problem with this installation setup before (have a look at the corresponding <a href="https://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=338638&tstart=0">thread</a> ), the JDBC drivers where missing on the installation master but after copying them in the right direction the installation went on with no problem up to this point...
Has anybody an idea what could have happened here? Is this maybe a problem connected to the one I recently had
Below I attached the sapinst.log and jload.log with more detailed messages.
