Session in java swing??

Hi friends,
I need to create session in java swing...
I have a client running in swing and can access resources in multi-threaded server. I need to validate user using session. But i don't know how to use session.
User has to login with username & password (authentication verified at server using socket communication).
If successful the login frame vanishes and other options are displayed. user has a feature that he can send files to other
user. so i need to use session for security purpose.
Anyone help me with code

Anyone help me with the code-----> u got tat wrong..
I need to know how to use session with java swing. I requested if anyone has such code....
This is a part of my project .
Am using MySQL Database to store username and password.
Cleint side interface has a frame (first frame--frame1) requesting client to provide login information. The login details <username and password> are sent to server. server validates whether the login info are correct or not and return true or false .
If false the frame1 will show a JOptionPane ... message stating that wrong username or password specified.
If true i need to create a session and other operations are done after session validation. I am using ssl socket.
If u want the code then i have post around 300 or more lines..

Placing a telnet session within a java swing program

I was wondering if there was a way to maybe anchor a telnet session into a JPanel within a Java Swing program. Most of my users end up running a telnet session while using my Swing Program and I was hoping to find a way to bring the two together. If this is possible could someone point me in the right direction (like an online resource) that might show me how to do this.

You could use sockets and a TextArea and build your own simple telnet application.

PL/SQL and Java Swing interface

Everybody in this forum knows that Oracle is the best database around
with many functionalities, stability, performance, etc. We also know
that PL/SQL is a great language to manipulate information directly
in the database with many built in functions, OOP capability,
transaction control, among other features. Today an application that
manipulates information, which needs user interface, requires components
to be developed using different technologies and normally running in
different servers or machines. For example, the interface is done using
a dynamic HTML generator like JSP, PHP, PL/SQL Web Toolkit, etc.
This page is executed in an application server like Oracle iAS or
Tomcat, just to name two, which in turn access a database like Oracle to
build the HTML. Also rich clients like Java applets require an intermediate
server to access the database (through servlets for example) although
it is possible to access the database directly but with security issues.
Another problem with this is that complexity increases a lot, many
technologies, skills and places to maintain code which leads to a greater
failure probability. Also, an application is constantly evolving, new
calculations are added, new tables, changed columns. If you have an
application with product code for example and you need to increase its
size, you need to change it in the database, search for all occurrences
of it in the middle-tier code and perhaps adjust interfaces. Normally
there is no direct dependency among the tier components. On another
issue, many application interfaces today are based on HTML which doesn't
have interactive capabilities like rich-client interfaces. Although it
is possible to simulate many GUI widgets with JavaScript and DHTML, it is
far from the interactive level we can accomplish in rich clients like
Java Swing, Flash MX, Win32, etc. HTML is also a "tag-based" language
originally created to publish documents so even small pages require
many bytes to be transmitted, far beyond of what we see on the screen.
Even in fast networks you have a delay time to wait the page to be
loaded. Another issue, the database is in general the central location
for all kinds of data. Most applications relies on it for security,
transaction and availability. My proposal is to use Oracle as the
central location for interface, processing and data. With this approach
we can create not only the data manipulation procedures in the database,
but procedures that also control and manage user interfaces. Having
a Oracle database as the central location for all components has many
advantages:
- Unique point of maintenance, backup and restore
- Integrated database security
- One language for everything, PL/SQL or Java (even both if desired)
- Inherited database cache, transaction and processing optimizations
- Direct access to the database dictionary
- Application runs on Oracle which has support for many platforms.
- Transparent use of parallel processing, clusters and future
background technologies
Regarding the interface, I already created a Java applet renderer
which receives instructions from the database on how to create GUI
objects and how to respond to events. The applet is only 8kb and can
render any Swing or AWT object/event. The communication is done
through HTTP or HTTPS using Oracles's MOD_PLSQL included in the Apache
HTTP server which comes with the database or application server (iAS).
I am also creating a database framework and APIs in PL/SQL to
create and manipulate the client interface. The applet startup is
very fast because it is very small, you don't need to download large
classes with the client interface. Execution is done "on-demand"
according to instructions received from the database. The instructions
are very optimized in terms of network bandwidth and based on preliminary
tests it can be up to 1/10 of a similar HTML screen. Less network usage
means faster response and means that even low speed connections will
have a good performance (a future development can be to use this in
wireless devices like PDAs e even cell phones, just an idea for now).
The applet can also be executed standalone by using Java Web Start.
With this approach no business code, except the interface, is executed
on the client. This means that alterations in the application are
dynamically reflected in the client, no need to "re-download" the
application. Events are transmitted when required only so network
usage is minimized. It is also possible to establish triggering
events to further reduce network usage. Since the protocol used is
HTTP (which is stateless), the database framework I am creating will
be responsible to maintain the state of connections, variables, locks
and session information, so the developer don't need to worry about it.
The framework will have many layers, from communication up to
application so there will be pre-built functions to handle queries,
pagination, lock, mail, log, etc. The final objective is to have a
rich client application integrated into the database with minimum
programming and maintenance requirements, not forgetting customization
capabilities. Below is a very small example of what can de done. A
desktop with two windows, each window with two fields, a button with an
image to switch the values, and events to convert the typed text when
leaving the field or double-clicking it. The "leave" event also has an
optimization to only be triggered when the text changes. I am still
developing the framework and adjusting the renderer but I think that all
technical barriers were transposed by now. The framework is still in
the early stages, my guess is that only 5% is done so far. As a future
development even an IDE can be created so we have a graphical environment
do develop applications. I am willing to share this with the PL/SQL
community and listen to ideas and comments.

Is it sound like Oracle Portal?
But you want to save a layer 9iAS.
Basically, that was the WebDB.(Oracle changed the name to Portal when version 3.0)
Over all, I agree with you.

I would like to build 'ZOPE' inside Oracle DB as a back-end
Using Flash MX as front-end.

What is difference between C# Gzip and Java swing GZIPOutputStream?

Hi All,
I have a Java swing tool where i can compress file inputs and we have C# tool.
I am using GZIPOutputStream to compress the stream .
I found the difference between C# and Java Gzip compression while a compressing a file (temp.gif ) -
After Compression of temp.gif file in C# - compressed file size increased
while in java i found a 2% percentage of compression of data.
Could you please tell me , can i achieve same output in Java as compared to C# using GZIPOutputStream ?
Thank a lot in advance.

797957 wrote:
Does java provides a better compression than C#?no idea, i don't do c# programming. and, your question is most likely really: "does java default to a higher compression level than c#".
Btw what is faster compression vs. better compression?meaning, does the code spend more time/effort trying to compress the data (slower but better compression) or less time/effort trying to compress the data (faster but worse compression). most compression algorithms allow you to control this tradeoff depending on whether you care more about cpu time or disk/memory space.

Problem with java swing button and loop

Problem with java swing button and loop
I�m using VAJ 4.0. and I�m doing normal GUI application. I have next problem.
I have in the same class two jswing buttons named start (ivjGStart) and stop (ivjGStop) and private static int field named Status where initial value is 0. This buttons should work something like this:
When I click on start button it must do next:
Start button must set disenabled and Stop button must set enabled and selected. Field status is set to 1, because this is a condition in next procedure in some loop. And then procedure named IzvajajNeprekinjeno() is invoked.
And when I click on stop button it must do next:
Start button must set enabled and selected and Stop button must set disenabled.
Field status is set to 0.
This works everything fine without loop �do .. while� inside the procedure IzvajajNeprekinjeno(). But when used this loop the start button all the time stay (like) pressed. And this means that a can�t stop my loop.
There is java code, so you can get better picture:
/** start button */
public void gStart_ActionEvents() {
try {
ivjGStart.setEnabled(false);
ivjGStop.setEnabled(true);
ivjGStop.setSelected(true);
getJTextPane1().setText("Program is running ...");
Status = 1;
} catch (Exception e) {}
/** stop button */
public void gStop_ActionEvents() {
try {
ivjGStart.setEnabled(true);
ivjGStart.setSelected(true);
ivjGStop.setEnabled(false);
getJTextPane1().setText("Program is NOT running ...");
Status = 0;
} catch (Exception e) {
/** procedure IzvajajNeprekinjeno() */
public void IzvajajNeprekinjeno() { //RunLoop
try {
int zamik = 2000; //delay
do {
Thread.sleep(zamik);
PreberiDat(); //procedure
} while (Status == 1);
} catch (Exception e) {
So, I'm asking what I have to do, that start button will not all the time stay pressed? Or some other aspect of solving this problem.
Any help will be appreciated.
Best regards,
Tomi

This is a multi thread problem. When you start the gui, it is running in one thread. Lets call that GUI_Thread so we know what we are talking about.
Since java is task-based this will happen if you do like this:
1. Button "Start" is pressed. Thread running: GUI_Thread
2. Event gStart_ActionEvents() called. Thread running: GUI_Thread
3. Method IzvajajNeprekinjeno() called. Thread running: GUI_Thread
4. Sleep in method IzvajajNeprekinjeno() on thread GUI_Thread
5. Call PreberiDat(). Thread running: GUI_Thread
6. Check status. If == 1, go tho 4. Thread running: GUI_Thread.
Since the method IzvajajNeprekinjeno() (what does that mean?) and the GUI is running in the same thread and the event that the Start button has thrown isn't done yet, the program will go on in the IzvajajNeprekinjeno() method forever and never let you press the Stop-button.
What you have to do is do put either the GUI in a thread of its own or start a new thread that will do the task of the IzvajajNeprekinjeno() method.

Certificate support in Java Swing application

Hi There,
I am new to this Certificate thing and running into issues! Would appreciate for all the help and please ignore for any stupid questions.
Here is my scenario.
1. I do have a client server application and client is a java swing application which connects to a Server application (Using Jetty 4.2.22 as embedded server)
2. Initially, it had a self signed certificate but goal is to support third party certificate (i.e import in the server and then show warning to the client during login)
If somebody has already done this or point me to some example (using Jetty APIs) that would be great help. If not, here is what I am trying to do and some questions.
1. I tried to get some free SSL certificate from the web and imported into the server's KeyStore.
If I do a list from the server using Keystore, this is what it looks like
keytool -list -keystore /tmp/keystore -storepass genview
Keystore type: JKS
Keystore provider: SUN
Your keystore contains 2 entries
self, Dec 3, 2008, PrivateKeyEntry,
Certificate fingerprint (MD5): 0D:58:E8:77:89:09:F8:2B:37:64:37:D5:03:AD:C9:0B
rapid, Jan 6, 2009, trustedCertEntry,
Certificate fingerprint (MD5): 64:9C:EF:2E:44:FC:C6:8F:52:07:D0:51:73:8F:CB:3
QUESTION 1 : why the third party certificate's entry as "trustedCertEntry"? Is it always like this? Do I need to have only one certificate at a time? (If so, just remove the self signed and have 3rd party one)
My Jetty server comes up but when I connect from Client Swing App, the "getServerCertificates()" method only returns one entry i.e self signed one but not the third party one.
I am using like this
URL url = new URL("https://127.0.0.1:port");
HttpsURLConnection conn = (HttpsURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.connect();
Certificate[] certs = conn.getServerCertificates();
Is not this API supposed to return all the server's certificate?
Please guide me or instruct me what to do.
Thanks,
CRB

How to create the digital clock in java swing application ?

I want to create the running digital clock in my java swing application. Can someone throw some light on this how to do this ? Or If someone has done it then can someone pl. paste the code ?
Thanks.

hi prah_Rich,
I have created a digital clock you can use. You will most likely have to change some things to use it in another app although that shouldn't be too hard. A least it can give you some ideas on how to create one of your own. There are three classes.One that creates the numbers. a gui class and frame class.

How to print a JTable in Java Swing ?

Hi,
I have an application written in java swing.Now I want to write a print module that prints some details.The details includes the JTextArea and JTable that changes in size dynamically.One solution i found is to put them in a panel and print that panel.But it is static.The size of JTable and JTextArea changes, according to the given input.Please give me a solution for this.

Printing is a bit of a nightmare, actually. Most of the trouble is layout. Basically a Printable is passed a page number and a graphics context and has to work out what components go on that page and where. It can't depend on the pages being requested in sequence.
You can call getPrintable from a JTable, and you can call that through your own Printable in order to add extra pages. However you can't ask a Printable how many pages it's going to produce, you just have to invoke it and see if it returns a code to say that the page is out of range.
And the Printable JTable generates is very limited, the table has to occupy full pages, you can't tell it to start in a different place on the first page, or find out how much space it's used on the last page. The headers and footers generate JTable's own idea of a page number, not yours.
You can call print() on most Swing components, but you'll need to set their size and location first, and/or mess with the transformation in the graphics context.

Loading large files in Java Swing GUI

Hello Everyone!
I am trying to load large files(more then 70 MB of xml text) in a Java Swing GUI. I tried several approaches,
1)Byte based loading whith a loop similar to
pane.setText("");
             InputStream file_reader = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream
                       (file));
             int BUFFER_SIZE = 4096;
             byte[] buffer = new byte[BUFFER_SIZE];
             int bytesRead;
             String line;
             while ((bytesRead = file_reader.read(buffer, 0, BUFFER_SIZE)) != -1)
                  line = new String(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
                  pane.append(line);
             }But this is gives me unacceptable response times for large files and runs out of Java Heap memory.
2) I read in several places that I could load only small chunks of the file at a time and when the user scrolls upwards or downwards the next/previous chunk is loaded , to achieve this I am guessing extensive manipulation for the ScrollBar in the JScrollPane will be needed or adding an external JScrollBar perhaps? Can anyone provide sample code for that approach? (Putting in mind that I am writting code for an editor so I will be needing to interact via clicks and mouse wheel roatation and keyboard buttons and so on...)
If anyone can help me, post sample code or point me to useful links that deal with this issue or with writting code for editors in general I would be very grateful.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I'm replying to your question from another thread.
To handle large files I used the new IO libary. I'm trying to remember off the top of my head but the classes involved were the RandomAccessFile, FileChannel and MappedByteBuffer. The MappedByteBuffer was the best way for me to read and write to the file.
When opening the file I had to scan through the contents of the file using a swing worker thread and progress monitor. Whilst doing this I indexed the file into managable chunks. I also created a cache to further optimise file access.
In all it worked really well and I was suprised by the performance of the new IO libraries. I remember loading 1GB files and whilst having to wait a few seconds to perform the indexing you wouldn't know that the data for the JList was being retrieved from a file whilst the application was running.
Good Luck,
Martin.

Could not deserialize session data, java.io.InvalidClassException

Whenever I click on logout link from Liferay(Which deployed as application on Weblogic 10.3),It shows below Exception in the console however i am able to logout sucessfully.
Could not deserialize session data.
java.io.InvalidClassException: org.hibernate.proxy.pojo.javassist.SerializableProxy; local class incompatible: stream classdesc serialVersionUID = 1180036893511205383, local class serialVersionUID = -2265249369383210104 at java.io.ObjectStreamClass.initNonProxy(ObjectStreamClass.java:560)
It seems to be Classpath polluted with different hibernate jars.But still not able to figure it out.Below is the jar files which i have in classpath.
hibernate-annotations.jar
hibernate-commons-annotations.jar
hibernate-core.jar
hibernate3.jar
Application Server: Weblogic 10.3
Any Help would be much appreciated.

Sounds like you have two different versions of a class in the two applications.
If you change a class implementation and recompile - the updated class gets a new UID. Looks like maybe one app has a jar with the older class and the other app has a jar with the new class.

Java swing dynamic forms (in a loop)

Hi All,
Is it possible to dynamically create forms using java swing? What I mean to ask is that if I have the necessary information in a table, like the label and a corresponding text field, I can loop through and create the required number of fields. If I do it this way and when the users add text, will I not lose the ability to access each JTextField through its own variable? Is this possible? Basically, I need to be able to access each field through its own variable to do some additional validations on the text entered, etc. Please let me know, if it is possible through java swing.
Any help in this regard is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Problem in printing a java swing form

Hi,
Could anyone help me on how to set the page margings while I print a java swing form since it is taking a lot of space as margins in the top right top and bottom how do i do that. or is it that java can only print in the printable area or is there any way i can increase the scope of the printable area

I used PrintRequestAttributeSet and set the margins to 0.5 on all four sides by creating an instance of MediaPrintableArea. By default, the margins on all sides comes up as 1.0 inch. Default paper size is LETTER (8.5 x 11).
PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
aset.add(new MediaPrintableArea(0.5f,0.5f,7.5f,10.0f,MediaPrintableArea.INCH);
PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
printJob.setPrintable(component);
if(printJob.printDialog(aset))
printJob.print(aset);
hope it helps.

Invoking a Java swing application via its process id

I have a Java swing application. What i am trying to do here is that when the user double-clicks the jar file to open it, if the Swing application is already open and is minimized, I need to maximize the open window and make it active.
I tried using 'jps -l' command in my new instance, and with the help of Runtime.exec() am able to detect whether the application is already running or not, and if running, am able to get the process id and am displaying a message to user indicating the window is already open.
But how do i maximize the window of an already running application? Is it possible?

What i am trying to do here is that when the user double-clicks the jar file to open it, if the Swing application is already open and is minimized, I need to maximize the open window and make it active. That's not hard to do, but your proposed solution is hard to do. The usual way to have only one instance of a Java application running is this:
Have the application open a SocketServer on a certain port number. Since only one process can listen on a port, the second instance of the application will fail when it tries to open the SocketServer. When that happens, the second instance should terminate instead of displaying its own GUI. Whether it terminates silently or whether it displays a dialog is up to you.
If you want the second instance to communicate with the first instance, that's easy because the first instance is listening on the port. So the second instance could connect to that port and send a message to it. In your case the first instance would respond to that message by maximizing its GUI.
