Problem with SelectBooleanCheckbox

I'm a beginner with JSF. Trying to get a form working that uses checkboxes (among other things). I have the following column entry in an jspDataTable:
<h:form>
<h:dataTable value="#{fnc.objVector}" var="fnc" first="#{fnc.startIndex}" rows="2">
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="#{fnc.fileRange}" />
</f:facet>
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Check In"/>
</f:facet>
<h:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{fnc.bSelectCheckIn}"
valueChangeListener="#{fnc.selectCheckInBoxChanged}"
disabled="#{fnc.checkedIn}" />
</h:column>
etc. etc. etc.
The form comes up just fine and the checkbox looks ok. If I click the checkbox, the little checkmark shows on the screen. When I submit the form, the listener routine gets called, and tells me the value of the box is 'true'. So it looks like it is working. But then the web browser gives me the following page:
============
XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: http://localhost:8084/NCAT/protected/doc_select.faces
Line Number 40, Column 61:<td><input type="checkbox" name="_id8:_id9:0:_id13" checked disabled="disabled" /></td>
------------------------------------------------------------^
The ^ is under the first 'd' in 'disabled="disabled"' in case this doesn't format properly. Is the problem the string 'disabled="disabled" (which is wrong - the checkbox is NOT disabled) or the 'checked' attribute - which is correct, because I've just put a checkmark in the box....
If the property fnc.checkedIn comes back true, the checkbox actually does get disabled, and I am not able to change its value, which is good. The problem occurs when the checkbox is not disabled initially, and I try to check it and then submit the form...
I'm not quite sure where to be looking for the problem. Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks very much,

It looks like Netbeans is using JSF 1.1 - that is what the libraries indicate. I copied the JSF 1.2 file onto my machine and replaced the 2 jar files jsf-api.jar and jsf-impl.jar in the Netbeans directory .../enterprise3/modules/ext. This directory also has commons-beanutils.jar, commons-collections.jar, commons-digester.jar and commons-logging.jar - I did not replace those. When I rebuild my application and try to run it, Tomcat fails to start - so I obviously have not updated JSF correctly.
It would be great if you can point me in the right direction here - I'm just about at the limits of my knowledge on Netbeans and well past it on JSF... And I do need to get those checkboxes working...
Thanks in advance,

Problems with selectbooleancheckbox

I have it like this
<af:selectBooleanCheckbox id="checkbox1" value="#{row.selectedtextboxboolean}" selected="#{row.selectedtextboxboolean}" />
its inside a table...
however, consider its false at begining..then user click checkbox..so its true..and clicks on insert button..
i read in my java file object.getselectedtextboxboolean ...and guess what? its not true..its still false...
this is unlike textboxes...
which the bean would be the new string

Hi,
I don't know what your insert button does if it is pointing to vo's create or createInsert operation, it creates new record as you said the default value is false the selectedtextboxboolean's value will be false.
Can you try adding autoSubmit property to true on selectBooleanCheckbox and print the value you are getting in setter method by adding sop and then see just by checking the checkbox if it is printing the correct value or not(without clicking on Insert button).

Problem with binding in h:dataTable

Hi
I have a problem with h:dataTable, where the table rows are bound to objects (Bean$Line) nested within a backing bean (Bean).

Guys
Thanks a lot, both of your replies are immensely instructive. Maybe a little background on what I'm trying to do. In the table, I have header rows with dependent line rows. When a check box is ticked in the header, I want the corresponding check boxes in the dependent lines to be checked automatically (in slave fashion and ideally without using JavaScript). My idea was to update the bound components (for the lines) from within the Bean (in response to change on the header). However, given there's only a single component for each column in the table, this of course doesn't make sense.
I'm trying to get to the typical MVC workflow of a) user updates a View component, b) Controller detects the change and updates the Model, c) The Model fires a property change event, which the View detects and updates appropriately. What's the way to achieve this in JSF (by design)?
Here's a simple fragment (which does not work):
        <h:dataTable value="#{bean.lines}" var="line">
          <h:column>
            <h:outputText value="#{line.id}"/>
          </h:column>
          <h:column>
            <!-- (1) This is the master and (2) should refresh on update here --/>
            <h:selectBooleanCheckbox onchange="submit()" value="#{line.lineSelected}"/>
          </h:column>
          <h:column>
            <!-- (2) This is the slave and I want this to update in response to a change of (1) above --/>
            <h:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{line.slaveSelected}"/>
          </h:column>
        </h:dataTable>In the setter method for lineSelected, I'm setting slaveSelected to the new value but the View is not refreshing based on this. How do I get the View to update (each dependent line) based on the new values for slaveSelected?
Thanks again

Problem with checkbox and Event.stop(event)

Hello,
I cannot change the checkbox in a row, if the Event.stop(event) is fired on checkbox. My aim is, that the event OnRowClick is stoped, if I change the checkbox in the row.

I had the same problem. I read you post and was so disappointed that no one had answered you. But I have a good news for you :) My team leader managed to solve this awkward problem.Add to h:selectBooleanCheckbox style="z-index: 20;" so that it is "above" the table row that fires its own onclick event.

Problem with Checkbox that disables/enables other components.

Hi
As I show in the title, I have problems with a checkbox that enables/disables another components (three exactly).
I have done the follow:
1.- Set property "AutoSubmit" true in the SelectOneChoice
2.- Set "Disabled" property true or false depending if the SelectOneChoice is selected or not
(#...selectBooleanCheckbox.value?false:true})
3.- Set the Partial triggers to the SelectOneChoice in the three components.
CASE 1: The SelectOneChoice is unmarked. The three components appears disabled and when I mark the SelectOneChoice, this components appears enabled. The thing works ;)
CASE 2: The SelectOneChoice is marked. The three components appears enabled and when I unmark the SelectOneChoice, the components continue enabled. They don't disable until I press the submit button.
how can i make that the components appears disabled when i unmark the checkbox?
i try with de ChangeValueListener, but it only works where the SelectOneChoice changes from unmarked to marked.
thanks!

I think the problem is, when the value is null the checkbox return with the selected state, b'coz u r
returning the checkbox (as it is). so pl'z try with below code (ADDED).
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value,
boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus,
int row, int column){
if(value != null){
Boolean booleanValue = (Boolean)value;
setSelected(booleanValue.booleanValue());
else /// ADDED
setSelected(false);/// ADDED
return this;

Problems with multiple row operations in a dataTable

Dear fellows,
I have a strange problem, i want to do multiple row deletion in a dataTable. Can any one tell me a better way to do it. Because the way i am doing it, it is causing me strange problems. In some places it start working and in some it dont.
The way i am doing it, it has the following code:
<h:form>
<h:dataTable id="list" value="#{availableRoomsList}" var="RoomTypes" >
<h:column>
     <f:facet name="header">
             <h:outputText value="Select"/>
       </f:facet>
             <h:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{roomSelection[RoomTypes]}" >
               </h:selectBooleanCheckbox>
</h:column>
<h:column>
     <f:facet name="header">
          <h:outputText value="Available Date"/>
     </f:facet>
     <h:outputText value="#{RoomTypes.availableDate}"/>
</h:column>
<h:column>
     <f:facet name="header">
          <h:outputText value="Available Rooms"/>
     </f:facet>
     <h:outputText value="#{RoomTypes.noOfRooms}"/>
</h:column>
</h:dataTable>
<h:commandButton value="delete Selected Rooms" action="#{RoomResvAction.deleteRooms}" />
</h:form>Now the back end code that i am using is as follows:
     private List<HotelRoomTypes> availableRoomsList;
      Map<HotelRoomTypes, Boolean> roomSelection = new HashMap<HotelRoomTypes, Boolean>();
         public String deleteRoom(){
              System.out.println("In the delete selection method aad.");
              try{
                   for (HotelRoomTypes item: availableRoomsList) {
                      Boolean selected = roomSelection.get(item);
                      if (selected!=null && selected) {
                           roomSelection.put(item, false);
                           //deleteRoom(item);
              }catch(Exception e){
                   //e.printStackTrace();
              return null;
         }The problem with the JSF code is when i click the command button it do not calls the associated action method with it. i dont know what is the problem with the code.
And as far as the backend code is concern it should work fine.
can anybody help me on this matter.

thanks BalusC ,
I will see this example and let you know, thanx for the help.
but also please try and see my code and tell me what is wrong in it. because at some places it works and at some it simply dont . dont know why?
well once again thanx for the help

Problem with Validations

Hi All,
I have another problem with validators. I have some components like inputText and selectOneChoice and selectBooleanCheckBox. I set the Required attribute to "true" and immediate attribute to "true". For selectOneChoice component autoSubmit attribute is set to "true".
Here My problem is when i select one option in the selectOneChoice component then the value of the InputText should be changed depending on the value of the selectOneChoice Component.
But When I select the option in the selectOneChoice component, I'm getting error popup dialog for the validation of all other components as selectOneChoice. so I'm unable to perform the required task.
could anyone help me out,
Thanks in advance,
-Prapansol

Prapan Sol,
Please refer to the tag documentation on the af:subform tag. A combination of subforms and the use of the immediate attribute should solve your problem.

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();
        }).start();
        new Thread(new Runnable(){
            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.
