ScrollPane NPE

Hi,
when running this simple script:

        layers.getChildren().add(primaryLayer);
        primaryLayer.getChildren().add(
                new Group(new Group(
                        new Group(new Rectangle(50, 50, 100, 50), new Ellipse(
                                200, 200, 50, 100), new Arc(400, 150, 60, 60,

        SwtFXScene scene = new SwtFXScene(scrollPane, 400, 300);

I get the following exception when trying to scroll (not every time, I do not know how to exactly trigger it):

Unfortunately, the work around, as described at https://forums.oracle.com/message/11086777, does not work for me.
On top of that, in my real application, scrolling via any scrollbar does always throw the exception, and trying to scroll via panning does not work, but does not throw an exception.
The snippet above does essentially what is happening in my real application, the only real difference is, that the real application creates the FXCanvas inside of the Composite that is passed to an Eclipse EditorPart.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Matthias

Hi,
although I did not get a single answer here, I want to share my findings with you. The ScrollPane works like a charm if its content node is a StackPane resp. a Group containing a StackPane. I do not know why that is the case, but my problems are resolved for now.
regards,
Matthias

Custom graphics in java.awt.ScrollPane

Hi all,
I have to draw a custom created image in a scroll pane. As the image is very large I want to display it in a scroll pane. As parts of the image may change within seconds, and drawing the whole image is very time consuming (several seconds) I want to draw only the part of the image that is currently visible to the user.
My idea: creating a new class that extends from java.awt.ScrollPane, overwrite the paint(Graphics) method and do the drawings inside. Unfortunately, it does not work. The background of the scoll pane is blue, but it does not show the red box (the current viewport is not shown in red).
Below please find the source code that I am using:
package graphics;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.ScrollPane;
import java.awt.event.AdjustmentEvent;
public class CMyComponent extends ScrollPane {
 /** Listener to force a component to repaint when a scroll bar changes its
 * position.
 private final class ScrollBarAdjustmentListener implements java.awt.event.AdjustmentListener {
 /** The component to force to repaint. */
 private final Component m_Target;
 /** Default constructor.
 * @param Target The component to force to repaint.
 private ScrollBarAdjustmentListener(Component Target) { m_Target = Target; }
 /** Forces to component to repaint upon adjustment of the scroll bar.
 * @see java.awt.event.AdjustmentListener#adjustmentValueChanged(java.awt.event.AdjustmentEvent)
 public void adjustmentValueChanged(AdjustmentEvent e) { m_Target.paint(m_Target.getGraphics()); }
 public CMyComponent() {
 // Ensure that the component repaints upon changing of the scroll bars
 ScrollBarAdjustmentListener sbal = new ScrollBarAdjustmentListener(this);
 getHAdjustable().addAdjustmentListener(sbal);
 getVAdjustable().addAdjustmentListener(sbal);
 public void paint(Graphics g) {
 setBackground(Color.BLUE);
 g.setColor(Color.RED);
 g.fillRect(getScrollPosition().x, getScrollPosition().y, getViewportSize().width, getViewportSize().height);
 public final static void main(String[] args) {
 java.awt.Frame f = new java.awt.Frame();
 f.add(new CMyComponent());
 f.pack();
 f.setVisible(true);
}

Dear all,
I used the last days and tried several things. I think now I have a quite good working solution (just one bug remains) and it is very performant. To give others a chance to see what I have done I post the source code of the main class (a canvas drawing and implementing scrolling) here. As soon as the sourceforge project is accepted, I will publish the whole sources at there. Enjoy. And if you have some idea for my last bug in getElementAtPixel(Point), then please tell me.

 double ty = CONST_Heighthalf + CONST_Steepness * px;
 if (py > ty) {

}Ah, just to give you some idea: I use this component to visualize a hex grid map with more than 1 million grid elements. And it works, really fast, and requires less than 10 MByte of memory.

Design problem(split pane scrollpane Insets)

hi,
doing a exam simulator prgm
design is like,
Question (text area with scrollpane)
Answers (checkbox inside panel with scrollpane)
used split pane between qst and ans but big thick bar comes how to reduce size and it is not
moving.
used GridLayout for container and panel.
PROBLEM is how to leave space qst textarea appears from very left edge of screen how to leave some space
same prblm for checkbox they to appear extreme left on screen.

Put those components in a JPanel overwriting the getInsets() method like this:
JPanel cPane=new JPanel(){
    private final Insets _insets=new Insets(10,10,10,10);
    public Insets getInsets(){
        return _insets;
};...should do the trick, take a look at the Insets class if you need information on how defining it...

}There is something I couldn't see here.By the way ImageLoader is workin I get the image.
Thank you for your help,please answer me....

I'm not going to even attempt to resolve the problem posted. There are other problems with your code that should take priority.
-- class names by convention start with a capital letter.
-- don't use the name of a common class from the standard API for your custom class, not even with a difference of case. It'll come back to bite you.
-- don't mix awt and Swing components in the same GUI. Change your class that extends Canvas to extend JPanel instead, and override paintComponent(...) instead of paint(...).
-- launch your GUI on the EDT by wrapping it in a SwingUtilities.invokeLater or EventQueue.invokeLater.
-- calling setSize(...) followed by pack() is meaningless. Use one or the other.
-- That's not the correct way to display a component in a scroll pane.
Ah, well, and the problem is that when you call pack(), it retrieves the preferredSize of the components in the JFrame, and you haven't set a preferredSize for the scroll pane.
Please, for your own good, take a break from whatever it is you're working on and go through The Java™ Tutorials: [Creating a GUI with JFC/Swing|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/TOC.html]

Problem with drawing in a scrollpane using clipbounds

Hello
Setup is a JFrame containing a splitpane with on the left just some config buttons and on the right a scrollpane.
Inside the scrollpane I want to draw big waveforms.
This is represented by a long array of 1's and 0's for the Y coordinates.
On drawing in paintComponents method I allways reconstruct a GeneralPath, based on the Clipbouns returned by the Graphics variable.
I have to reconstruct the GeneralPath polygon because my data can be millions long. And therefor I have to limit the points that are drawn.
When I allways reconstruct this GeneralPath, upon scrolling the polygon is shown scrappy, as in the line connecting the points will only be half shown or almost not.
Resizing the window or just minimize maximize and it is shown ok.
I do not have this problem when the GeneralPath I construct is only once made upfront and never remade in the paintComponent method.
But as I need the clipbounds to know which part to construct I need to rebuild this polygon over and over again.
I have tried to draw it with Line2D.Double but I get almost the same effect, parts of the lines not being drawn ok.
Below is the code of the Panel inside the ScrollPane responsible for this drawing.

JScrollpane does not work properly when I interlinked to another Scrollpane

Hi,
I am trying to develop a small Editor using java Swing. I hav to display Line numbers also. for that i used another textarea and set the scrollbar model of that to the scrollbar model of text area where i type the programs. the module works perfectly in the first appearance.. scrolls same time..but the problem arises when i insert a new line into or delete a new line from the text area. when i am inserting or deleting the scrollbar of the prgram text area scrolls down immdtly after the insertion or deletion...
I tried a lot to solve the problem. Please help me...

I hav to display Line numbers ...Whatever component you use to display the line number you should add the component directly to the scroll pane that contains your main text area. You do this by using the scrollPane.setRowHeaderView(). I've posted several example of this if you search the forums.

How can i make my scrollpane in a way that at the opening of a frame it doe

just try the following:

How do I create an infinite drawing canvas in a ScrollPane?

I wanted to figure this out on my own, but it is time to ask for help. I've tried too many different things. The closest I've come to the behaviour I want is with this code:
final BorderPane root = new BorderPane();
final Pane canvasWrapper = new Pane();
canvasWrapper.setPrefSize(800, 500);
canvasWrapper.setMaxSize(Double.MAX_VALUE, Double.MAX_VALUE);
canvasWrapper.setStyle("-fx-background-color: lightgray; -fx-border-color: green; -fx-border-width: 2px;");
final Group canvas = new Group();
canvasWrapper.getChildren().add(canvas);
final ScrollPane scroll = new ScrollPane();
scroll.setContent(canvasWrapper);
root.setCenter(scroll);
// event code for adding circles and lines to the canvas
I want the ScrollPane to be filled with the Pane, so it can catch events for drawing. When the stage is resized, the ScrollPane is resized too. This the result of the BorderPane. What I want is to expand the window and have canvasWrapper expand to fill the entire ScrollPane viewport. When the stage is made smaller the ScrollPane shrinks, but I want the canvasWrapper to retain its size. The idea is the drawing canvas can only grow. When it gets too large for the current stage/ScrollPane size, the scrollpane can be used to navigate around the canvas.
I tried using
scroll.setFitToHeight(true);
scroll.setFitToWidth(true);
but this causes the Pane to be made smaller when the viewport is made smaller.

I figured it out!
Use
scroll.setFitToHeight(true);
scroll.setFitToWidth(true);
to resize the Pane as the view port changes.
Save the canvas' size as the Pane's size.
canvas.layoutBoundsProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Bounds>() {
 @Override
 public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Bounds> ov, Bounds t, Bounds t1) {
 canvasWrapper.setMinSize(t1.getMaxX(), t1.getMaxY());
This forces the Pane to always be as large as the group is.

Mixing static and dynamic content in a single outputText value causes NPEs

Hi,
I am having a problem and I'm wondering if it is a result of my error or if this is a bug.
I am mixing dynamic and static content in the value attribute of tags (e.g., outputText). On initial page load, everything works fine. However, if the same view is reloaded (e.g., after a failed validation) I get an NPE from JSF:

<h:outputText escape="false"

<h:outputText escape="false"
 value='<link href="' /><h:outputText escape="false" value="#{myBean.styleSheet}"
 /><h:outputText escape="false" value='" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />' />So is the problem that I am mixing dynamic and static content with a single value? If so, why does it work on the first view, and not after?
If it matters, I'm using the reference implementation version 1.1 (as included with NetBeans 5.5RC2) on SuSE 10.0 w/ JDK 1.5_09.
Thanks,
Bill

Yes, that's how I originally had it, but then changed it to the outputText approach since a single tag could do what I wanted, as long as I was allowed to mix static and dynamic content within a single value.
I think this is a bug in JSF 1.1, since if what I am doing is illegal, it should throw an exception on the first page view, not work on first view and throw an exception on subsequent views. I'm guessing that this has something to do with the fact that on first page view it only runs the restore view and render response JSF phases, while on subsequent requests all of the phases will be run, and it's in one of those other phases that the exception is thrown.
For now, multiple tags is the work-around, I guess.
Thanks,
Bill

How to print the components in scrollpane

hi there,
can anyone tell me how to print the scrollpane components, i mean the headers & the main view of the component. i've a scrollpane with the following code and i want to print the components:
JScrollPane pane = new JScrollPane(aTextPane);
pane.setRowHeaderView(aLineNumberComponent);my requirement is i've a editor & lineno component as textpanes and added to scrollpane & when asked to print it should print the lineno component which resides in scrollpane's row header & the editor textpane which is the main view in the scrollpane. how can i achieve this?
i'd would appreciate any suggestions & codes given.
thanx in advance.

After adding/removing components to/from a panel try:
panel.revalidate();
panel.repaint() // sometimes this is also needed, I'm
not sure whyI'm not certain, but I think that panel.revalidate() implicitly calls repaint() only if something actually changed in the layout. If nothing changed, it sees no reason to repaint; hence, if something changed in appearance but not in layout, you have to repaint it yourself.
Or something like that. I'm no expert. ;)

NPE 10.1.3.1 - Can you solve it?

I get an NPE in OC4J 10.1.3.1 that I did not get in OC4J 9.0.4.
The easisest way to explain it that it seems that a ResultSet that is populated in a bean, via JSP javascript invocation, is "lost" once that same JSP attempts to access it for display.
You will see by my debug statements that ResultSet is populated (in SQLDataSource.java) with 1902 rows. I have commented out debug statements that I previoulsy executed to access the ResultSetMetaData and that is all in tact. Further, I even debugged the getString in the that same code and found it to be in tact.
First I'll give you the trace and then I'll provide the JSPs java file where the error is on line 66 as:
out.print( detail.getString("ACCT") );
All of this is followed by links to view all pertinent code:

Is it possible to load .swfs on top of scrollpane

I have a scrollpane that links to a movie clip in my library
that holds about 40 buttons. I'm using the scrollpane since the
layout doesn't have enough room to show them all at once. This way
the user can scroll down to see all the names. These buttons have
the names of various articles on them. Upon clicking on an article
a flashpaper .swf file of that article is loaded. Right now the
article is loading into my scrollpane and seems to be kicking out
the movie clip that contains the buttons. Upon closing out the
flashpaper article the buttons return and work fine. The only issue
I have with this is that if the user scrolls down, clicks on an
article and then closes it out, the buttons reappear, but they are
back at the top. The user would then need to scroll back down to
where they were if there were wanting to click on the next article
in line. Not a big deal, but it gets kina annoying after a while.
I'd like to figure out a way for the flashpaper articles to load on
top of the scroll pane so that when the user closes the flashpaper
article the links below are where they left off. So far no matter
what I try the flashpapers keep loading inside the scroll pane.
Here is the code I'm using as applied to one of the 40 buttons:
on (release) {
_parent.loadMovie("MM/flashpaper/art2_120106_prev_injuries_unint.swf",
1);
art2_120106_prev_injuries_unint.swf is the name of the
flashpaper article being loaded.
-I've tried changing the level number and that doesn't work
-I've tried creating an empty movie clip in a layer above the
buttons and that doesn't work:
on (release) {
_parent.loadMovie("MM/flashpaper/art2_120106_prev_injuries_unint.swf",
"artMC");
("artMC" is the empty movie clip)
-I've tride creating an empty movie clip in the main timeline
above the scrollpane and that doesn't work either
any thoughts on how I should handle this?
thanks

import mx.managers.DepthManager;
movieclipyouwantontop.setDepthAbove(movieclipyouwantonbottom);
use the creatEmptyMovieClip method you tried before then
place it into what i gave

NPE in ADTOutputStream.addApplicationDescriptor() line 330 when migrating from AIR 2.6 to AIR 3.5

I have a working maven pom which builds my AIR app using AIR 2.6 and I am trying to migrate it to use the new AIR 3.5 SDK. According to the official release notes here : http://helpx.adobe.com/en/flash-player/release-note/fp_115_air_35_release_notes.html I need to firstly need to point to the new 3.5 schema in my air-app.xml file as follows: <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.5">
I also change my swfVersion and targetPlayer attributes as follows:
<swfVersion>18</swfVersion>
<targetPlayer>11.5</targetPlayer>
I also changed the system Path environment variable on my machine to point the to the bin directory of the new AIR 3.5 sdk, so that when I type adl on the command line it reports back:
Adobe (R) AIR (R) Developer Tool (ADT)
Version 3.5.0.1060
So when flexmojos launches ADL, it is launching the correct version.
However I don't change my flex version which is set to <flex.version>4.5.1.21328</flex.version>, and my flexmojos version which is 4.2-beta.
When I then try and build my project I get the following error:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.sonatype.flexmojos:flexmojos-maven-plugin:4.2-beta:sign-air (default-sign-air) on pro

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? What is happening at line 330 in ADTOutputStream.addApplicationDescriptor()? This code isn't open sourced so the error message is plain unhelpful! If I use the same AIR sdk but back out the changes for 3.5, then it builds fine with the 2.6 schema. Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I'm kind of replying to my own post here. I have been doing some further development with iOS on AIR 2.6 and I think that unfortunately the new GPU rendering IS actually just a lot slower than it was on the Packager for iPhone.
I know that a lot of people say that Air 2.6 has made their app run 2x faster and a lot of people say the opposite - that moving to 2.6 has made it run 2x slower- I think the difference there is probably that if you had your code properly optimized for GPU under PFI (which took a lot of work) then you will notice a big slowdown.
For example, under PFI, on the iPad at 1024x768 I could have at least 50 large moving sprites on the screen at once running at full 60fps - I dont think that Air 2.6 could even manage that at 30fps (I have taken to lowering my fps to 30 in Air 2.6).
Saying that Air 2.6 does make it a lot easier to port, especially if you are just using bitmaps as dont really have to do anything (unless they scale/rotate), it's more likely to "just work". Also, PFI had a lot of little bugs in it, like certain blending modes only working half the time, and sometimes the framerate would just bomb if you used too much memory.
So I guess bottom line is that Air 2.6 feels a lot more stable and is easier to use, however if you are just purely using the GPU it will be less than half the speed of the old PFI, which is a massive shame.
However I could be missing something here?

I would like to implement a scroll pane which is resizable, but not to a size exceeding the maximum size of the java.awt.Canvas that it contains.
I've sort of managed to do this by writing a subclass of java.awt.ScrollPane which implements java.awt.event.ComponentListener and has a componentResized method that checks whether the ScrollPane's viewport width (height) exceeds the content's preferred size, and if so, resizes the pane appropriately (see code below).
It seems to me, however, that there ought to be a simpler way to achieve this.
One slightly weird thing is that when the downsizing of the pane happens, the content can once be moved to the left by sliding the horizontal scrollbar, but not by clicking on the arrows. This causes one column of gray pixels to disappear and the rightmost column of the content to appear; subsequent actions on the scrollbar does not have any further effect. Likewise, the vertical scrollbar can also be moved up once.
Also, I would like a java.awt.Frame containing such a restrictedly resizable scrollpane, such that the Frame cannot be resized by the user such that its inside is larger than the maximum size of the scrollpane. The difficulty I encountered with that is that setSize on a Frame appears to set the size of the window including the decorations provided by the window manager (fvwm2, if that matters), and I haven't been able to find anything similar to getViewportSize, which would let me find out the size of the area inside the Frame which is available for the scrollpane which the frame contains.
Thanks in advance for hints and advice.
Here's the code of the componentResized method:
public void componentResized(java.awt.event.ComponentEvent e)
 java.awt.Dimension contentSize = this.content.getPreferredSize();
 this.content.setSize(contentSize);
 java.awt.Dimension viewportSize = getViewportSize();
 System.err.println("MaxSizeScrollPane: contentSize = " + contentSize);
 System.err.println("MaxSizeScrollPane: viewportSize = " + viewportSize);
 int dx = Math.max(0, (int) (viewportSize.getWidth() - contentSize.getWidth()));
 int dy = Math.max(0, (int) (viewportSize.getHeight() - contentSize.getHeight()));
 System.err.println("MaxSizeScrollPane: dx = " + dx + ", dy = " + dy);
 if ((dx > 0) || (dy > 0))
 java.awt.Dimension currentSize = getSize();
 System.err.println("MaxSizeScrollPane: currentSize = " + currentSize);
 setSize(new java.awt.Dimension(((int) currentSize.getWidth()) - dx, ((int) currentSize.getHeight()) - dy));
 System.err.println();
}Best regards, Jan
