Repeating same import statement in different source files

If we have to repeat same bunch of import statements in all the java classes do we have an alternative rather than declaring the same import statements in all the java classes.

Then don't you think its waste to repeate the same line in every class. Even if we have to chance one statement we have do it in all the classes say for example today I am using an object from "abc.ab.c" and tomorrow some one changes the package to "abc.ba.c" then we have to update the same in all of the classes where ever we use "abc.ab.c" earlier.Not especially. IDEs do the heavy lifting, and what would you think could be an alternative? Global implicit imports, configured on the compiler? Don't like that idea. Explicitly declaring exactly what imports each class has is a very good indicator of certain code smells, like god classes and the like. If I have to hunt around for what classes a particular piece of source is using, that's an extra hoop I'd rather not jump through
If you're finding it a bind to have to re-import huge amounts of classes into loads of other classes, that in itself is a good indicator you've got design problems

How can I use the same object in the different jsp files?

I am doing a project. I have finished my jave source files and compiled them successfully. And I also wrote a main method to test my classes, they also worked well. Now I am trying to use my jave code in the jsp files. But I meet a problem, in my method of java source file, I can generate a object of a class, and use it in the whole main method. But in the different jsp files, how can I do same thing?
For example, in the .java file,
Vector vl = new Vector();
While ...{
vl.add(...)
In each of my .jsp file I want to do one loop of the above, meanwhile I want to do that in the same object.
I hope you can understand what I mean. Really need your help!

put your object into a session and you can the use it in all the jsps as long as the session is valid. Or you could create a static variable in the class that only creates one instance off an object and then create a static method to return this object.

Keeping the album songs order, when importing songs from different sources

Hello
I imported lots of songs into my itunes library from various sources (itunes store, CD's, and audio files converted from my vinyl records) This way, songs from a specific artist, and sometimes from a specific album, could come from different sources.
Now, I hope to arrange all the songs from a specific album to appear in the appropriate order, but I just can't find a way of doing this! The songs just appear in the way iTunes sorts them, without any relation to the original order of the album. Even more, in the iPod itself, the order changes once again with no appearant reason! (Interestingly enough, when I import all the songs of a specific album from one source, the order is kept)
I tried changing the names on the files in itunes to include serial numbers (01, 02 and so on, at the names of the songs). but then again, for some reason, no order is kept.
How can I sort the songs in the album according to the proper order? I don't want to use a special playlist for each album.
Thank you in advance for your replies

iTunes sorts things in thew following way (based on having the correct ID3 tag info)
Album > Disc number > Track Number
if you sort things by Album
iTunes does NOT take anything from the file name unless no ID3 tag info is present in the file, then you will see the file name appear as the track name and all other fields blank. ID3 tags are the way most meta-data is handled noawadays.
Hope that helps.

FDM import script with selectable source file

Hi All,
I would like to build an import script attached to an import format that imports a text file with multiple value columns.
Source file:
Entity, Detail, Account 1, Account 2
E_abc, D_abc, 100, 200
In FDM this needs to be:
Entity, Detail, Account, Amount
E_abc, D_abc, Account 1, 100
E_abc, D_abc, Account 2, 200
So i need to loop through the file.
My biggest challenge is that when i attach a script to an import format in the import process i cannot select a file from inbox anymore, it has to be a pre-defined file.
Has someone an example or solution how to make a script-import format and enable the select file from inbox?
And if possible has someone an example script of the issue stated above?
Thanks in advance,
Marc

Hi Wayne..
Thanks for your reply (and sorry for the delay in mine).
Could you tell me what script to use to open the file in the befImport script, or how to rename the file in memory to a new one?
So i write a script that rewrites the file to a new file in the inbox but i need to tell FDM that it needs to process this new file.
Thanks,
Marc

Comapre 2 same channels from two different dat filea

Hi ,
I want to compare the wave forms of two same channels names (in my sample data which is in attachment, the same channel names are S1KNSLLE00H3DSZP) from different dat file(S2100044 and S2100041) .
Load the 2 dat files from navigator.
Come to report and open two 2d axis systems to see the wave forms of two different channels ( Like in attachment result.jpg)
I need an autosequence to do the same for all the channels for 2 dat files automatically.
Attachments:
cmp.zip ‏1967 KB
result.JPG ‏158 KB

Hi RSH,
I appreciate you posting 2 data files and the jpg, but I'm afraid I still have lots of questions before I can advise you. You sent 2 *.dat files which each had 1 channel in them named "Data", which is different from your email text and the jpg you posted. Will your data sets typically have many channels in them? Your posted *.dat files had no time channel and the "Data" channel was not a waveform channel, yet the 2 different "Data" channels were different lengths. Do you want to plot your channels vs. the array index all the time (as is shown in your jpg)?
Do you want to have N sheets in REPORT, one for each channel? Why don't you want to have both "S1KNSLLE00H3DSZP" channels as curves with different colors on the same graph-- wouldn't that make it easier to compare them?
When you drag over the data channel onto a REPORT graph, you will get a reference like "[1]/Data" or "[2]/Data", which is exactly what you want to compare the "Data" channel from 2 arbitrary data files (note that the file name does not show up in the channel references). So it seems to me that the REPORT layout you sent a jpg of already satisfies what you're asking us to create for you. Why do you need a script at all?

So can someone tell me which moronic error I've made this time? :-)

Excellent, thanks, that did the trick!
While I've opened this topic anyway, I have another question. The application in question uses a configuration file which it only looks for in the directory the executable resides in (unless a specific command line argument is given). For this reason, it seems most logical to place the application under /opt. But /opt is not in $PATH by default. What is the best way to add the directory /opt/vpcs to $PATH but to also remove it from $PATH when the application is removed?

Same sql statement two different results?

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows why I am getting different
results on the same query.
Basically... when I run this query in "view" in sql server, I
get the results I need, however when I run in Coldfusion, I am
getting totally different results.... It is a totally different
result...
the query:
SELECT DISTINCT
tbl_employees.indexid, tbl_employees.[Employee ID] as
employeeid, tbl_employees.[First Name] as firstname,
tbl_employees.[Last Name] as lastname,
tbl_employees.[Supervisor ID] as supervisorid,
tbl_workaddress_userdata.firstname,
tbl_workaddress_userdata.lastname,
tbl_workaddress_userdata.supervisorid,
tbl_workaddress_userdata.location,
tbl_workaddress_userdata.employeeid,
tbl_workaddress_userdata.locationdescription
FROM tbl_employees FULL OUTER JOIN
tbl_workaddress_userdata ON tbl_employees.[Employee ID] =
tbl_workaddress_userdata.employeeid
WHERE (tbl_employees.[Supervisor ID] = 7) AND
(tbl_workaddress_userdata.location IS NULL)

I suspect you and your CF DSN are looking at two different
DBs...

Does a member class have to be within the same source file?

Hi there,
I have this application that extensively uses two classes. The main class setsup the GUI, and the second main class is responsible for handling all of the actions that arise from the GUI.
I could have done this by making all of my handler methods be of the first main class, but this class really is just for the GUI setup, the logic doesn't fit into this class' behaviour.
The class that handles the GUI actions is required to use the fields of the main class e.g. to get values of a text field. The problem is that since the class that handles the actions is getting very big, I would kind of like to move this class into a different source file - because currently it is a member class of the first one, so that it can access all of its fields.
Is there some way that I can move this handler class into another source file, and still have it access all of the fields of the main GUI class - without making the fields public, or using millions of get/set methods? Also, I can't use inheritance because the both the GUI class creates an instance of the handler class in its constructor, and so leads to an infinite loop when trying to instantiate the GUI class.
Can I ask.. would a static class or something be of use here? Do they exist? I'm confused as to how to do this without getting the mother of all source files (in size that is - nothing to do with cooking or baking).
- Anyway, thanks in advance for any help that you could give me -
BYEE, Edd.

You can't have an inner class that is not in the same source file. However, you could use package-protected (default) access to give another class in the same package access to things without making them public. Actually, that's how inner classes are actually compiled. Package-protected access is underused IMHO. It's a great tool that most people (including myself) are suspicious of at first.

HELP: Compressor Status: Copying Source Files?????

I posted this problem in the FCP discussions and was told to try here. I have also tried LAFCPUG and Creative Cow with out finding a resolution. I am REALY hoping someone can help me out here....
OK, I just upgraded to FCP Studio last week and have completed editing my first project with FCPS. I export the final sequence as Self Contained QT. I launch Compressor and drop the exported sequence into the batch window, and finally set the audio to Dolby 2,0 and Video to MPEG 2 90 Minutes High Quality.
I click on the submit button and Batch Monitor pops up. However, when I look at the status, the message "Preparing: Copying Source File (.....)" is displayed.
What is going on here and why would Compressor need to "Copy" anything??? Both the Source and destination files are on local, internal discs (same folder actually.
The source file is 16.5 GB and as such copying is adding a considerable amount of time to the processing of the file - After more that 11 hours it has only gotten through a little more that 3.5 GB!!!
This is nuts!!! Under FCP HD, I could export and render an unrendered 2 hour video in around 3 hours; faster than this COPY process is taking!
Can someone tell why this is happening and what I can do to speed things up.
At this rate, I can get better though put results by streaming the final video to a DVD Recorder, ripping the resulting disc and using the resulting rip in DVDSP than I will ever get with Compressor!!!
Any help with this problem is EXTREMELY appreciated!!
NOTE: I installed the FULL Final Cut Studio and ALL available system updates have been run.
PS. I originally tried exporting from FCP directly to Compressor last night (around 11 PM) and when I checked on the Compressor (about 1 pm today), Batch monitor status still reported "Preparing..."!! I killed the job, then exported the sequence out as a QT reference file, dropped the ref file into compressor, and after an hour, the Batch Monitor status showed Copying barely past 500 MB!!!!
This is worse than the times I was getting in FCP 2 on a Dual 500 G4 and completely unacceptable!!! If this kind of through put time is what I have to look forward to with FCPS, I may as well send it back to the Apple Store and reinstall FCP HD and use a DVD Recorder to create DVDs. At least then I can count on REAL TIME processing!!
Thanks,
Gary

This is just a guess, but it almost sounds like Compressor thinks it is configured for distributed processing and therefor it is copying the source to another client. Does the "Cluster" menu at the bottom right of Compressor's batch window show "This Computer" and when you hover the mouse pointer over this same menu do you see a yellow pop-up that references your local system (for example, mine says: "This Computer.waymen-powerbook-g4.local:49240".
If you think this might be the problem you probably want to know that Qmaster now has a command-line interface that allows you to submit jobs, configure, and get status on a number of different aspects of Compressor's background processing.
Below is a link to a post on that interface and some information on how you can actually use the command line to submit jobs to Compressor/Qmaster. There is also some information on this new capability in Compressor's User Manual (Under Help - Compressor User Manual:appendix B). You might also want to look at the Distributed Processing Setup help. Anyway, here is the link:
Waymen, "Compressor & Command line" #4, 03:45pm Aug 4, 2005 CDT
You probably want to review the entire thread related to the above link. I know that this is not a direct solution to your problem but you may learn something about your configuration that will help. You can also get status information on Qmaster and there are some switches or toggles that could affect the behavior of your system. Again, this is all just a guess, but perhaps some internal state in Qmaster has been set incorrectly.

Import statement giving error

Hi All,
I am writing a JSP page, and need to instantiate an object of a certain class within my package, in my JSP page.
How do I do that? Do i use the <%import = "Myclass.class" %>
I am using Sun Forte.. and the directory is myprojects/test/Classes/MyClass.java
so how would the import statement look like?
Thanks
Kal.

Kal,
You would use the page directive with the import attribute. It looks like this: <%@page import="MyPackage.MyClass"%> or if your class is in the default package <%@page import="MyClass"%>. It is suggested that all classes used in JSP be packaged. (That is they include the package statement in thier source file and reside in a directory structure resembling the package name.)

Variable within an import statement

I'm wanting to have a variable in an import statement for different versions of a class
example - import someclass.VERSION.*;
but I want VERSION to be a variable that I can modify for every project that uses the class I'm importing from. I have not found any examples that have done this thus far.

The point of my suggestion was that it would make it unnecessary to change anything at all for compiling different versions.
make 3
Making version 3.0 <<<See how easy that can be? Reading the version of the class to load from an external class file and dynamically loading it is tantamount to a Rube Goldberg machine. Also, you still have to change a file, your properties file. If your project grows to any significant size, this approach will cause you serious headaches.

Cannot open source file

I just downloaded some new drum sounds on Logic Pro X that were offered upgrades and now I get an error message in my regular work that states,
"Cannot open source file" when I go to import an mp3 large file into any template or new project.
I've trashed preferences and have plenty of room to import the large files I usually work with.
Need guidance please.

Thanks Pancenter, that helped. I still hear a slight difference in the tone of voice speaking in a 48k session also.
Do you think this is the difference of being recorded at 44.1 mp3, then change to m4a and export the now 48k file into a 48k Logic session? I didn't see a way of changing Quicktime Player sample rate to 44.1, which is preferred in this instance. Future recordings I can set up at 48k but I have a bunch of files at 44.1 waiting for me that need a solution first.
Whew, and yes what a pain to do this when it worked fine before. (although for my work, I would prefer to edit as mp3 instead of turning into AIF then mp3 again- too much giggage wasted for this use)
Still open to other solutions without undoing the new sounds & such I just upgraded.

Cannot resolve import statements

I recently decided to start messing around with some Java3d. I tried to get an example program to try to dissect but I can't even get past compilation. The main problem is the fact that the import statements cannot be resolved. I thought maybe I was using an outdated example program but upon further inspection of Oracle's own Java3d tutorials I saw the same import statements. I downloaded java3d 1.5.1 because I thought perhaps it wasn't included in the java core classes. This did not help me at all. So maybe it is a problem with the IDE (eclipse) not recognizing them. However, I have had no such success with Google thus far. I realize that this is more than likely a horribly simple mistake that anyone over a novice understanding of Java would be able to spot. But if anyone could help me figure out why I can't compile it would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Corey

I imported pics to catalogs on different external hard drives. Later renamed external HDs. I want to combine catalogs and have my source (NEF) files all together on one drive. Can I merge cats and will new path to source files be correct if when inporti

I imported different trips to different catalogs on different external hard drives. Later renamed external HDs. I want to combine catalogs and have my source (NEF) files all together on one drive. I’m not really sure how to get those source files back and get rid of the extra long path to where the source files are now located. If I re-link files to their current catalog (many different paths to files in same catalog) can I merge (import catalogs) into one master catalog? Will the new (Master catalog) have the correct link to the source file? If not, how or can this be done?
I have tried to explain my situation as clearly as I can. Do you understand my situation?
This maybe something you don’t have time to help me with. If not can you suggest somewhere I can get an answer? I really need help. PLEEEZZZ HELP ME.

Is there any solution (other than buying
I really think 'buying' is the best solution on this one. Ideally, you would have at least five internal hard drives.

Projects
Cache/Scratch
Media
Exports
Use externals and network drive only for backup.
