Returning String Array

I'm trying to create a function (method?) for parsing some log files. The first index of the string array I want returned will contain a 'key' on what I'm doing with the log files (since they'll be formatted in several different ways depending on what's happening) and the rest will just return tokens from the logs. Here's what I have so far:
    public static String[] parseLog(String inString){
        StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(inString, "\"<>");
        int stNum = st.countTokens();
        String[] parsedOut = new String[stNum + 1];
        if (inString.contains("disconnected")) {
            parsedOut[0] = "read";
        for (int x = 1; st.hasMoreTokens() ; x++){
            parsedOut[x] = st.nextToken().trim();
        return parsedOut;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String line = "????log L 08/15/2008 - 20:28:37: \"underTHEinfluence johnRAMBO<16><STEAM_0:0:204495><>\" disconnected";
        System.out.println("Parsed: " + parseLog(line));
    }{code}
It compiles with no errors, but I'm getting this: Parsed: [Ljava.lang.String;@e09713

A String representation of the array is given, while you want to display the individual items from the array.
Try this:
System.out.println(java.util.Arrays.toString(yourArray));
Need closures - want to do mapchar(yourarray, System.out.println);

Return String array in server side

i wrote a bean which contains a function return String array (
String[] ). It shows no error on compile time, and also in
generate jar file. However, when i generate it to an ear file,
the syntax of the wsdl file is not correct so the client can't
call this function becuase the xml can't parse the wsdl.
When i change the return type to String, everything is ok. Does
anybody know what's happen? I really have no idea on it, thx.

This is why I wanted to see some code. I wanted to see how you are trying to move the array from one class to another.
This should work... provided that the array is initialised correctly in ClassA. If you are doing it like this, please post some code and I'll help you fix it.
class ClassA{
public String[] getMyArray(){
return myArray;
class ClassB{
public void myMethod(){
ClassA myA = new ClassA();
String[] newArray = myA.getMyArray();
}

External java function that should return String array

Hi everyone,
I have a split function in plsql that takes 10 times longer a java tokenizer function that i was written. So, i want to use java external function to split my plsql strings into pieces.
I can write a java external procedure that returns types like int, float and String types. I have no problem about it.
My problem is returning an array of strings. I found a book that has an example about how can we get directory list in plsql with java external procedure.
(code)
import java.io.File;
import java.sql.*;
import oracle.sql.*;
import oracle.jdbc.*;
public class JFile {
public static oracle.sql.ARRAY dirlist (String dir)
throws java.sql.SQLException
Connection conn = new OracleDriver().defaultConnection( );
ArrayDescriptor arraydesc =
ArrayDescriptor.createDescriptor ("DIRLIST_T", conn);
File myDir = new File (dir);
String[] filesList = myDir.list( );
ARRAY dirArray = new ARRAY(arraydesc, conn, filesList);
return dirArray;
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION dirlist (dir IN VARCHAR2)
RETURN dirlist_t
AS
LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'myFile.dirlist(java.lang.String) return oracle.sql.ARRARY';
(code)
I could compile this source file in localhost but not remotehost. There are jar files ( import oracle.sql.*; import oracle.jdbc.*; ) that should be added to remote classpath. ( others have already added java classpath ). But, which classpath i should add? Oracle has own JVM and Classpath, probably i should upload these jar files to oracle classpath. Am i wrong? How can i do? Can you explain in detail? How can i return string array from java external function in Oracle ?
I am using Oracle 11.1.0.7 on Solaris Sparc Machine.

Hi,
What do you mean "compile in remote host"
Aren't you using the loadjava tool? - that should be enough, the RDBMS already "has" the jars needed.

WebService problem: only the first element of a string array is returned

Hello,
i did the J2EE QuickCarRental tutorial and extended it by some features: I created another entity bean and implemented four new methods in the QuickOrderProcessor. Then i deployed it as a WebService and accessed it using the Visual Composer.
Everything works fine except the return value of one WebService method. I created a method with the return value String[]. But the Visual Composer reads it as String. Only the first element of the resulting string array is displayed. Although the test at the web-page http://<server>:<port>/QuickCarRentalService/Config1 displays the whole string array with all its elements. What did i wrong?
Another problem is that after deploying the J2EE-Application with new WebService methods the changes are not visible inside the visual composer. Although the test at the web-page http://<server>:<port>/QuickCarRentalService/Config1 displays the changes. Do i have to restart the WebService system in the portal content? If yes how can i do that?

Here are details about setting up and using web services and some examples:

Error returning large String arrays from web service

Hi,
I currently have an EJB that returns a String[] array that I have implemented as
a Web Service. When I execute a Java client (JSP) from Weblogic, I don't have a problem
as long as the returned array is relatively small, but when the array starts to get
a little larger (say 20 elements, about 30 chars each), I consistently get:
SAXException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:array element type mismatch.
Strangely enough, when my web service client is a .asp page running under MS IIS
(using the MS SOAP Toolkit), it works fine. I have returned as many as 15000 - 20000
array elements in one call. And since I am calling the same Weblogic EJB with the
MS client, I know it's a problem with the Java client, not the EJB.
Anybody know of a bug or had this experience before? Or know what I might be doing
wrong? FYI, I am using Weblogic 6.1 SP2.
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve,
Sure we're interested...I'll pass this along to the XML folks.
Thanks for the feedback,

In case anyone is interested, I solved my problem. I was mis-diagnosing the problem
- thinking it was a size issue when it actually was a data issue. On the calls where
I was returning a large array, some of the array members were null. When I made them
enpty strings "", it worked. Apparently the default SAX parser BEA uses doesn't like
the nulls, whereas the MS parser doesn't care.

Problems with string arrays

Previous task was:
Write a class "QuestionAnalyser" which has a method "turnAnswerToScore". This method takes a String parameter and returns an int. The int returned depends upon the parameter:
parameter score
"A" 1
"B" 2
"C" 3
other 0
Alright, here's the recent task:
Write another method "turnAnswersToScore". This method takes an array of Strings as a parameter, works out the numerical score for each array entry, and adds the scores up, returning the total.
That's my code:
class QuestionAnalyser{
public static int Score;
public String[] Answer;
public static void main(String[] args) {}
     public int turnAnswerToScore(String[] Answer)
for (int i = 0; i < Answer.length;i++) {
if (Answer.equals("A")) {
Score = Score + 1; }
else if (Answer[i].equals("B")) {
Score = Score + 2;}
else if (Answer[i].equals("C")) {
Score = Score + 3;}
else {
Score = Score + 0;}
return Score;
this is the error message I get:
The results of trying to compile your submission and run it against a set of test data was as follows:

What went wrong?
Suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

If I declare int score in the method i get this message

The code looks like this, then
class QuestionAnalyser{

Returning strings from OLE2 Word object (Forms 4.5)

Below is an example of how to return string and numeric values from OLE2 objects. In this example the OLE2 object is a MS Word document, and I want to fetch all the bookmarks in the Document into a Forms 4.5 Varchar2. To do this I first need to get the count of bookmarks.
Getting a string property from an OLE2 object is a common OLE2 requirement but is poorly documented. This is the ONLY way it can be done, as OLE2.INVOKE_CHAR returns a single character not a string. Use OLE2.INVOKE_OBJ, then OLE2.GET_CHAR_PROPERTY which does return a string, as shown below, to return a string from an OLE object (or OLE property).
Also note how you can only get the child object from its parent, not the grandchild (etc) object, so multiple (cascading) GET_OBJ_PROPERTY calls are required.
/* by: Marcus Anderson (Anderson Digital) (MarcusAnderson.info) */
/* name: Get_Bookmarks */
/* desc: Returns a double quoted CSV string containing the document*/
/* bookmarks. CSV string will always contain a trailing comma*/
/* EG: "Bookmark1","Bookmark2",Bookmark3",Bookmark4", */
/*               NB: This requires that Bookmarks cannot contain " chr */
PROCEDURE Get_Bookmarks (pout_text OUT VARCHAR2)
IS
v_text           VARCHAR2(80);
v_num                         NUMBER(3);
     v_arglist OLE2.LIST_TYPE;
     v_Application     OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
v_ActiveDoc      OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
v_Bookmarks          OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
v_Item                    OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
v_i                              NUMBER(3);
BEGIN
          v_Application     := LDWord.MyApplication; -- Word doc opened elsewhere
               /* Set v_num = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Count */
v_ActiveDoc := OLE2.GET_OBJ_PROPERTY (v_Application, 'ActiveDocument');
v_Bookmarks := OLE2.GET_OBJ_PROPERTY (v_ActiveDoc , 'Bookmarks');
v_num := OLE2.GET_NUM_PROPERTY (v_Bookmarks, 'Count'); -- NB: Returns numeric property
               /* Build the output string, pout_text. */
FOR v_i in 1..v_num LOOP
                    /* Set v_item = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Item(v_i) */
v_arglist := OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
OLE2.ADD_ARG (v_arglist, v_i);
v_Item := OLE2.INVOKE_OBJ (v_Bookmarks, 'Item', v_arglist); -- NB: returns parent object (array element)
OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST (v_arglist);
                    /* Set v_text = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Item(v_i).Name */
v_text := OLE2.GET_CHAR_PROPERTY (v_Item, 'Name');                    -- NB: Returns string/varchar2 property
pout_text := pout_text || '"' || v_text || '",' ;
END LOOP;

How to add elements into java string array?

I open a file and want to put the contents in a string array. I tried as below.
String[] names;
s = new Scanner(new BufferedReader(new FileReader("outfile.txt")));
while (s.hasNext()) {
                String item = s.next();
                item.trim();
                email = item;
                names = email;
            }But I know that this is a wrong way of adding elements into my string array names []. How do I do it? Thanks.

Actually you cannot increase the size of a String array. But you can create a temp array with the lengt = lengthofarray+1 and use arraycopy method to copy all elements to new array, then you can assign the value of string at the end of the temp array
I would use this one:
String [] sArray = null;
s = new Scanner(new BufferedReader(new FileReader("outfile.txt")));
while (s.hasNext()) {
    String item = s.next();
    item.trim();
    email = item;
    sArray = addToStringArray(sArray, email);
* Method for increasing the size of a String Array with the given string.
* Given string will be added at the end of the String array.
* @param sArray String array to be increased. If null, an array will be returned with one element: String s
* @param s String to be added to the end of the array. If null, sArray will be returned.(No change)
* @return sArray increased with String s
public String[] addToStringArray (String[] sArray, String s){
     if (sArray == null){
          if (s!= null){
               String[] temp = {s};
               return temp;
          }else{
               return null;
     }else{
          if (s!= null){
               String[] temp = new String[sArray.length+1];
               System.arraycopy(sArray,0,temp,0,sArray.length);
               temp[temp.length-1] = s;
               return temp;
          }else{
               return sArray;

Exporting a String Array to an HTML file

Hey everyone..I'm currently making lots of progress in my project...but right now I've been trying to make a button that exports my search results to an html file...basically what I've made is a search engine to search webcrawler files...
The result list I get (which is actually a string array), I want to export to html so I can open that html file and find all the links that were found in the search I made..What I have so far is this, but it's not working yet, any help? :
    private class exportListener implements ActionListener
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
            String[] result = parent.getResult();
            if(result == null)
                return;
            JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
            chooser.setAcceptAllFileFilterUsed(false);
            chooser.setFileFilter(new HtmlFileFilter());
            chooser.setDialogType(JFileChooser.SAVE_DIALOG);
            int returnVal = chooser.showSaveDialog(parent);
            if(returnVal == JFileChooser.CANCEL_OPTION)
                return;
            File fl = chooser.getSelectedFile();
            String path = fl.getPath() + ".html";
            searchIF.exportResultAsHtml(path);
            System.out.println(path);
    private class HtmlFileFilter extends FileFilter
        public String getDescription(){return "Html";}
        public boolean accept(File pathname)
            String name = pathname.getPath();
            //Just checking to see if the filename ends with html.
            if (name.toLowerCase().substring(name.lastIndexOf('.') + 1).equals("html"))
                return true;
            return false;
        }

Actually..nevermind, sorry.

How to use a WebService Model with String Arrays as its input parameter

Hi All,
I am facing the following scenario -
From WebDynpro Java i need to pass 2 String Arrays to a Webservice.
The Webservice takes in 2 input String Arrays , say, Str_Arr1[] and Str_Arr2[] and returns a string output , say Str_Return.
I am consuming this WebService in WebDynpro Java using WEB SERVICE MODEL. (NWDS 04).
Can you please help out in how to consume a WSModel in WD where the WS requires String Arrays?

Newbie trying to sort 2D string array

Dear all,
After read some book chapters, web sites including this, I still don't get the point.
If I have a file like,
1 aaa 213 0.9
3 cbb 514 0.1
2 abc 219 1.3
9 bbc 417 10.4
8 dee 887 2.1
9 bba 111 7.1
and I load into memory as a String[][]
here comes the problem, I sort by column 1 (aaa,...,bba) using an adaptation of the Quicksort algorithm for 2D arrays
* Sort for a 2D String array
* @param a an String 2D array
* @param column column to be sort
public static void sort(String[][] a, int column) throws Exception {
QuickSort(a, 0, a.length - 1, column);
/** Sort elements using QuickSort algorithm
static void QuickSort(String[][] a, int lo0, int hi0, int column) throws Exception {
int lo = lo0;
int hi = hi0;
int mid;
String mitad;
if ( hi0 > lo0) {
/* Arbitrarily establishing partition element as the midpoint of
* the array.
mid = ( lo0 + hi0 ) / 2 ;
mitad = a[mid][column];
// loop through the array until indices cross
while( lo <= hi ) {
/* find the first element that is greater than or equal to
* the partition element starting from the left Index.
while( ( lo < hi0 ) && ( a[lo][column].compareTo(mitad)<0))
++lo;
/* find an element that is smaller than or equal to
* the partition element starting from the right Index.
while( ( hi > lo0 ) && ( a[hi][column].compareTo(mitad)>0))
--hi;
// if the indexes have not crossed, swap
if( lo <= hi )
swap(a, lo, hi);
++lo;
--hi;
/* If the right index has not reached the left side of array
* must now sort the left partition.
if( lo0 < hi )
QuickSort( a, lo0, hi, column );
/* If the left index has not reached the right side of array
* must now sort the right partition.
if( lo < hi0 )
QuickSort( a, lo, hi0, column );
* swap 2D String column
private static void swap(String[][] array, int k1, int k2){
String[] temp = array[k1];
array[k1] = array[k2];
array[k2] = temp;
----- end of the code --------
if I call this from the main module like this
import MyUtil.*;
public class kaka
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
String[][]a = MyUtil.fileToArray("array.txt");
MyMatrix.printf(a);
System.out.println("");
MyMatrix.sort(a,1);
MyMatrix.printf(a);
System.out.println("");
MyMatrix.sort(a,3);
MyMatrix.printf(a);
for the first sorting I get
1 aaa 213 0.9
2 abc 219 1.3
9 bba 111 7.1
9 bbc 417 10.4
3 cbb 514 0.1
8 dee 887 2.1
(lexicographic)
but for the second one (column 3) I get
3 cbb 514 0.1
1 aaa 213 0.9
2 abc 219 1.3
9 bbc 417 10.4
8 dee 887 2.1
9 bba 111 7.1
this is not the order I want to apply to this sorting, I would like to create my own one. but or I can't or I don't know how to use a comparator on this case.
I don't know if I am rediscovering the wheel with my (Sort String[][], but I think that has be an easy way to sort arrays of arrays better than this one.
I've been trying to understand the Question of the week 106 (http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/qow/archive/106/) that sounds similar, and perfect for my case. But I don't know how to pass my arrays values to the class Fred().
Any help will be deeply appreciated
Thanks for your help and your attention

Converting vector to string array

How can I convert values in a vector into a string array?
Vector formsVector = new Vector();
while (rs.next())
{formsVector.add(rs.getString("forms"));}
String forms[] = (String[])formsVector.toArray();
I tried the above line but it did not work. Any input please?
Thanks

.... What is the difference between the two as
according to online help, both are same.
String forms[] = (String [])formsVector.toArray();
String forms[] = (String [])formsVector.toArray( new
String[0] );The difference lies in the type of the object returned from toArray. The first form you list, formsVector.toArray(), always returns an Object[]. In your example, you'll get a ClassCastException at runtime when you cast to String[].
The second form will try to use the array you pass in. If it's not big enough, it'll create a new one of the same type as that array. This is what's happening when passing a zero-length array into toArray.
My personal preference is to save an extra instantiation and build the array to the proper size to begin with:String forms[] = (String [])formsVector.toArray( new String[formsVector.size()] );

How to Pass String array from Java to PL/SQL and this use in CURSOR

hi,
I cant understand how to pass Array String as Input Parameter to the Procedure and this array use in Cursor for where condition like where SYMPTOM in( ** Array String **).
This array containing like (SYMPTOM ) to be returned from the java to the
pl/sql (I am not querying the database to retrieve the information).
I cannot find an example on this. I will give the PL/SQL block
create or replace procedure DISEASE_DTL<*** String Array ***> as
v_SYMPTOM number(5);
CURSOR C1 is
select distinct a.DISEASE_NAME from SYMPTOM_DISEASE_RD a
where ltrim(rtrim(a.SYMPTOM)) in ('Fever','COUGH','Headache','Rash') ------- ***** Here use this array element(like n1,n2,n3,n4,n5..) ******
group by a.DISEASE_NAME having count(a.DISEASE_NAME) > 3 ----------- ***** 3 is no of array element - 1 (i.e( n - 1))*****
order by a.DISEASE_NAME ;
begin
for C1rec IN C1 loop
select count(distinct(A.SYMPTOM)) into v_SYMPTOM from SYMPTOM_DISEASE_RD a where A.DISEASE_NAME = C1rec.DISEASE_NAME;
insert into TEMP_DISEASE_DTLS_SYMPTOM_RD
values (SL_ID_SEQ.nextval,
C1rec.DISEASE_NAME,
(4/v_SYMPTOM), --------**** 4 is no of array element (n)************
(1-(4/v_SYMPTOM)));
end loop;
commit;
end DISEASE_DTL;
Please give the proper solution and step ..
Thanking you,

I've haven't properly read through your code but here's an artificial example based on a sql collection of object types - you don't need that, you just need a type table of varchar2 rather than a type table of oracle object type:

Number of repeated characters in string array

Hi,
I m trying to get number of repeated characters in string array. I couldnt figure out where am i doing mistake.
thank you,
For example: count({"alpha, beta,"}, 'a')
a is repeated 3
l is repeated 1 etc.
public class Test
public static int count(String[] stringArray, char c)
public String [] str = new String [2];
int count = 0;
str[0]
str[1]
for(int i = 0; i<str.length(); i++)
if (str.charAt(i)
count++;
return count;

There is a difference between a String and a String [].
A String [] is an array of String class objects:/* Traverse_Array_Of_Strings_1.java */
public class Traverse_Array_Of_Strings_1
public static void main(String [] argv)
    /* here is an array of Strings */
    String [] s = { "hello", "how", "are", "you" };
    int i, j;
    System.out.println("s.length = "+ s.length );
    for (i= 0; i < s.length; i++)
      System.out.println("s= <"+ s[i] +">");
      for (j= 0; j < s.length(); j++)
System.out.print(s[i].charAt(j) +", ");
System.out.println("\n-----");
}output:java> javac Traverse_Array_Of_Strings_1.java
java> java Traverse_Array_Of_Strings_1
s.length = 4
s= <hello>
h, e, l, l, o,
s= <how>
h, o, w,
s= <are>
a, r, e,
s= <you>
y, o, u,
