Problems with getting user input

Hi All,
I want to get user input from a command line and i am NOT using a GUI.
The user can still see their password when they are typing it in.
Is there anyway to show '******' when they type in their password??
This is what I have so far..
public static void getPassword() {
System.out.print("Enter password-->");
DataInputStream input = new DataInputStream(System.in);
try{  
password = input.readLine();
catch (IOException e){
System.out.println("ERROR " + e);
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Kal.

Kal,
I'm pretty sure you're going to need some kind of GUI (either a Java window or an HTML page) to get the desired effect. There might be a way to set the echo character in the command line, but I'm not sure.

    Just moved my email from Entourage to Mail. Having real problems with getting my signatures to work properly despite sending email as Rich Text.
    When adding in a small company logo to the signature, PC's / windows computers only receive signature and logo as attachments.
    I've tried all possible fixes I can find including getting a PC user to format the logo but no joy. Has anyone experienced this and any ideas on a fix gratefully received.

    Send it as html so the signature is an image source URL

  • Charm: BP problem with the user

    Hi!
    I have problem with the user for the usage of ChaRM.
    When I try to set the the (urgent) correction in Development i get the following error.
    There is no valid business partner assigned to your user.
    Meanwhile the appropriate BP-entry for the user exists:
    External BP number: <SID> <CLNT> <user name>
    Identification number: <SID> <installation number> <user name>
    Furthermore I have the following error, when I try to approve the change request:
    Partner 141 (Change-Manager) is neither an employee nor an organizational unit
    I would be great to get some help here.
    Thank you
    regards
    Thom

    Hi Thomm,
    1. There is no valid business partner assigned to your user.
       In BP under identification tab,
       ID type    idenification number
      CRM001 <SID> <installation number><CLNT><username>
    2.Partner 141 (Change-Manager) is neither an employee nor an organizational unit
    Assign the BP role as "Employee" for Change Manager

  • Sql Devloper 4.0.0.13 - problems with displaying user data types

    Hi,
    I have installed new version of sqldeveloper and have discovered some problems with displaying user data types. The data that is described as VARCHAR2 are displayed with ‘???’.
    The problem persist in table view, script output and exported files.
    My type is described as follows:
    create or replace TYPE "DPTY_ADRESA" AS OBJECT
      ID_DPSF_OPCINE                                         NUMBER,
      ID_DPSF_MJESTA                                        NUMBER,
      OPCINA                                            VARCHAR2(100),
      MJESTO                                            VARCHAR2(100),
      ULICA                                 VARCHAR2(200),
      BROJ                                   VARCHAR2(20),
      SPRAT                VARCHAR2(20),
      OSTALO                             VARCHAR2(100),
      CONSTRUCTOR FUNCTION dpty_adresa RETURN SELF AS RESULT
    add MEMBER FUNCTION dajAdresu RETURN VARCHAR2 cascade;
    when make select column from table that contains this type I get next results:
    CASE 1:
    SQLDeveloper Version 3.2.20.09; Build MAIN-09.87; JDK 1.6.0_43; Windows 7 64 bit
    Select:
    select id, adresalokacija
    from dptr_saglasnosti
    where id = 1;
    Result:
            ID ADRESALOKACIJA
             1 COMP.DPTY_ADRESA(124,4913,'TRAIK','TURBE','BABANA','3452','0',NULL)

    Result1:
    ID ADRESALOKACIJA
             1 COMP.DPTY_ADRESA(124,4913,'???','???','???','???','???',NULL)    
    But if I select one element it is displayed normal.
    Select2:
    select id, a.adresalokacija.opcina
    from dptr_saglasnosti a
    where id = 1;
    Result2:
    ID ADRESALOKACIJA.OPCINA
             1 TRAVNIK                  
    END CASE 2;
    I have tried this scenario on three different pc with same output.
    Pleas help me to get rid of the '???' in result.
    Best Regards,

  • Problem with"Evaluate User Policies"sch task after the upgrade OIM R1 to R2

    Problem with "Evaluate User Policies" scheduled task after the upgrade from OIMg R1 to OIM 11g R2
    After the upgrade process is completed we are having issue with Access policy not triggering if rule is set to custom attribute
    - We had a Rule with custom attribute (Policy='Full-Time') the value gets populated by event handler which triggers the access policy in OIM 11g R1.. which worked fine in OIM R1
    After the upgrade the value is getting populated but even after running "Evaluate User Policy" the Access Policy is not getting triggered.
    We tested creating a rule with other custom attribute,policy does not trigger even after running Evaluate User Policy schedule Task in this case too
    but if we try creating rule with OOTB attributes(Country='US') it works fine the access policy got triggered after running Evalute User Policy
    One more issue we observed is
    - Evaluate User Policy value usr_policy_update is not updated still set to '1' even after the Access policy got triggered (as it worked when rule is set to OOTB attribute)
    I believe after the evaluate user policy gets triggered for a user it should update the value from '1' to '0')
    Please let me know if you have any idea..Thanks!

    well, I overcame the issue by 'fooling' the installer: on second node, change the scan ip address to point to something else (ie, different ip address to the scan in the first node, cleanup then rerun root.sh, it went past the trouble stage, then I still have problem later at the time database creation. I think scan ip address has to be setup correctly (round robin thingy)
    This is how i did the cleanup before rerun root.sh

  • How can I define a tooltip with multiline user input?

    I've created a button with app.response to get user input for defining a textbox's tooltip, but for my purposes I need multi-line text formatting within the tooltip, such as the \n character.  How can I accomplish this?  Thanks.

    How do you mean?  I've not been able to find any real settings for the tooltip under properties.  A long enough line of text wraps around, but I want it to contain some actual formatting, for ease of reading.  One long paragraph, followed by a few individual bullet points of info.  For example:
    Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
    Blah: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
    Blah: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
    Blah: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
    Is that at all possible with the built in tooltip?

    I am sorry to say that, but your security makes my life miserable – it’s been 2 months since my Apple ID account got stuck, and since then I cannot update 37 applications (to date), i.e. most of my applications. Half of them I bought. I also paid for iCloud, and it is not working. I paid money and I am stuck with old applications and no iCloud. Your security *****. Your service ***** too. It took your service 1 month to finally understand why this happened to me, and it took me tens of emails to you and 3 hours of telephone conversation to find out the reason for my problem. And the problem is still not fixed. NOT FIXED. You just leave your customer – the one who paid you money and spent so much time with you trying to help you help me – and nothing. You tell me:  “Vitas, Stick your stinky iphone in your *** and enjoy life, we do not care!” *************.
    It is ******* outrageous, and you should know that,  guys. Get into the ******* database and correct the bug. Get someone in the partners-telephone carriers company (it is Orange as carreer and Cellcom as seller of the phone)  authorized to Identify me in personal encounter in one of the branches in Israel (where I live) and make sure it is really me, and get the ******* system accept my password and let me use my phone.
    Otherwise **** off. None of my friends will get my advise to buy an iphone or any of apple products. And I think you should be very attentive to cases like this, guys. Do your work for the money we pay, or disappear. There are many others eager to take your place, and if the problem is not fixed I will eventually go to the others. My patience is lost, and as soon as I can afford another phone I will change it. AND I WILL TRY TO GIVE BAAAAAD PUBLICITY TO APPLE – I am threatening here, so ACT NOW.

    Well, it seems waiting is not my strong suit..! I renamed a javascript file called recovery to sessionstore. This file was in the folder sessionstore-backups I had copied from mozilla 3 days ago, when my tabs were still in place. I replaced the sessionstore in mozilla's default folder with the renamed file and then started mozilla. And the tabs reappeared as they were 3 days ago!
    So there goes the tab problem. But again when I started mozilla the window saying "a script has stopped responding" appeared, this time the script being: chrome//browser/contenttabbrowser.xml2542
    If someone knows how to fix this and make firefox launch normally, please reply! Thank you

  • Problems with getting my Ipod Touch to work on my Sony Bravia or any TV

    I am having problems with getting videos or movies to play on my Sony Bravia HDTV or any TV. I have a first generation Ipod Touch and I have the Apple AV Composite Cables and all I get is sound for both TV's that I tried. I read one post where some guy had a faulty Ipod that wouldn't work. Does anyone know how of something hidden or special that needs to be done or how did they fix the problem if they had the same one? Thank, ejcarlson

  • Problem with getting resized image's bytes

    I've got a problem with getting correct bytes of a newly resized image. The flow is that I retrive an image from the filesystem. Due to the fact that it is large I resize it to a 50x50px thumbnail. I can display this thumbnail in #benchmark1 (see code below). Unfortunately something's wrong with my imageToBytes funtion which returns reasonably small size of image but is totally useless - I can't make an image of it anymore so at #benchmark2 the application either crashes or keeps freezing. I saved this byte array on my disk and tried to preview under Windows how does it look but I got a message "Preview unavailabe". I did some digging in the Internet and I supposed that it's because I don't use any jpg or png encoders to save the file. Actually I think that it's not the case, as the bytes returned from method imageToBytes look weird - I cannot even make a new image of them and display it without any saving in memory.
                                  byte[] bytes = FileHandler.readFile (
                                          FileHandler.PHOTOS_PATH, fileName);
                                  Image img2 = Image.createImage (bytes, 0, bytes.length);
                                  img2 = ImageHandler.getInstance ().resize (img2);
                                                    //#benchmark1
                                  bytes = ImageUtils.imageToBytes (img2);
                                  img2 = Image.createImage (bytes, 0, bytes.length);
                                                    //#benchmark2my imageToBytes function is as follows:
         public static byte[] imageToBytes (Image img)
              int[] imgRgbData = new int[img.getWidth () * img.getHeight ()];
              byte[] imageData = null;
              try
                   img.getRGB (imgRgbData, 0, img.getWidth (), 0, 0, img.getWidth (),
                           img.getHeight ());
              catch (Exception e)
              ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream ();
              DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream (baos);
              try
                   for (int i = 0; i < imgRgbData.length; i++)
                        dos.writeInt (imgRgbData);
                   imageData = baos.toByteArray ();
                   baos.close ();
                   dos.close ();
              catch (Exception e)
              return imageData;
    I've run totally out of any idea what's wrong, please help!

    Hey Crawlie,
    Please note that simply writing int values into ByteArrayOutputStream will not suffice. Please have a look at the following conversion from int pixel value into byte[4]:
    public static final byte[] intToByteArray(int value) {
            return new byte[] {
                    (byte)(value >>> 24),
                    (byte)(value >>> 16),
                    (byte)(value >>> 8),
                    (byte)value
    }Good Luck!

  • Problem with getting iPod to work.

    I'm having a problem with getting an iPod to connect to my computers. Also I can't even really get it to run. My brother gave it to me one or two years ago and it had these problems I just didn't think of the idea of going directly to Apple to figure it out. It's a 30 GB black iPod if that helps. When I plugged it in it showed the battery symbol. When I leave it for a while it shows the Apple symbol. Then it comes up with this: http://spirrwell.webatu.com/ipod.jpg If you can help thanks in advance!

  • How to get user input to keep in array in the form of int[]?

    I really want to know how to get user input to keep in an array. Or if it's impossible, can i use the value in "int" and transfer it to an array?

    What I understand is that you want to set an input from the user in an array of int.
    Here is how it work:
    1. Create a stream and a buffer to get and store the informations entered by the user:
    BufferedReader stdin = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
    2. Set this input in a String:
    String input = stdin.readLine();
    3. Set this string in an int:
    int userInput = Integer.parseInt(input);
    4. Then you can put this int in the array.
    Warning this code throws IOExceptions and NumberFormatException ( when you try to set letters as int ). But you can catch them easily.

I understand there is a key board short cut (command/option/shift on start) but I am hunting for a way to have the preferences always revert to default. In the past I have written a script to delete the preference files upon computer start up but once again, it needs to be rewritten. Is there a method that does not require KLUDGE?
