Simple GUI+Web advice required

Is it possible to create a GUI to connect to a
specific site, (my university website and access all
the Information using GUI just as if I was using the
website, except that all the relevant information and
headlings are stored in specific TextFields and
Panels?I would say not - at least in an environment as you describe, the server is almost crtainly secured so as to prevent it and the data from being hijacked by an external hacker machine - which, effectively, is what you want to do.
If it is then do I have to have access to the
websites servers to modify it with my GUI or can I
just clone the page and then store the data into
relevant TextFields and view it.
The University website has a student facility, and
ofcourse has a Login screen and from there on the
user can view his marks, unit material etc.Assuming that the server will deliver information to you, from your machine you should be able to view whatever it will let you view when you are logged on normallly. How you view it would depend on what the data is and how it's delivered.
Could some one please advice me with a helpful
tutorial site so that I could try and incorporate it
in my GUI application.
Thank you

Both side chatting with simple GUI ,,helps pls?

guys I'm Java application programmer i don't have well knowledge in network programing ,,my question ,,,from where should i start to design a simple GUI client*s* server chat program ,i mean some thing like simple yahoo messenger the program should include also adding contact and make that contact appears ON if he login or OFF if he sign out like red color for ON-line contact and and white color for off-line contact ...........
another thing that chat system should include shared folder all the contact can enter it and upload file or download file ...
please guys i run to you to help me i have 2 weeks only to do that thing please don't let me down i need your help ....TIPS,code,any thing full code :) ,,any thing will be really appreciated .
guys for more information the program includes only the chat of course its both sides chat between the clients and these is no conference room
or audio or video nothing ,,just text only nothing else except the folder shearing service and the colors of the contacts for login or not .
guys once more help me give me codes or any thing useful i count on you guys.
thx a lot in advance

Dude , u r right ,,,but still its simple GUI issueI'm not sure why you are getting this impression. It's not a simple "GUI issue." Yes, you can simply create the GUI for this, but will it be functional? No. Furthermore, if it was so simple, why are you posting asking for help?
For an instant message chat program, in addition to GUI programming, you need to know how client / server systems work and you need to implement one. A server should be running on one system and the client(s) will connect to it. The server usually maintains the buddy list and passes the messages to/from different clients. This presents several problems that you will need to solve:
1. How will you develop a protocol between the client / server for communication?
2. How will you authenticate users?
3. How will you maintain the buddy list on the server (data structure, database, file)?
4. How will you pass messages from one client to another (simple string message, serialized data object, etc.)?
5. etc.
Now, I'm not saying this is "impossible" so please don't take it that way. I'm simply trying to help you realize that there are a lot of factors to consider when developing this type of application.

and for the "FTP?" ,,,its folder shearing as i said earlier every one of your friends can access it not FTP .....Talking about "folder sharing" is a whole other issue. What I meant by saying "FTP?" is, how do you plan on implementing "folder sharing" remotely? One option is FTP. How would you do it?

and one thing please don't assume any thing u don't knowIf you ask a very broad question and ask for code, I can only assume one thing.

Firstly I can't get anything to show up on the frame. Secondly, it compiles but does not run and I am getting the following two errors:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at Dice.roll(Kozyra.java:182)
at Dice.playGame(Kozyra.java:155)
at Dice.begin(Kozyra.java:238)
at Kozyra.main(Kozyra.java:56)
Note: C:\Program Files\Xinox Software\JCreatorV4LE\MyProjects\Honors2\Kozyra.java uses or overrides a deprecated API.
Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details.
Any help would be appreciated, as I am becoming increasingly frustrated (I can't find where the pointer exception is and I have no idea what the "note" one is...). Thanks.

Thanks, Corlett.
The Homework3GUI thing was a vestige from something else that I missed correcting. However, I still cannot get anything to show up on the JFrame...Also, what does private static final long serialVersionUID = 54645635L; do?
This is how the code reads now:

Any suggestions ?

The server at Mac OS X Server Web Services requires a username and password

I am running SL Server 10.6.2, wiki works but when a person clicks an attached file in a wiki and then selects "open" they get a login popup with the notification The server at Mac OS X Server Web Services requires a username and password. It doesn't matter what they put into the login/pass it comes back. If they hit cancel then the document opens. If they click save then it saves with no issue. I can type in the admin login/pass of the server and it works. Does this mean the security settings to the location of the files is wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated!

By the way they are using Internet Explorer 7 when opening these documents.

Simple Java Web Server

I am looking for a simple Java Web Server similar to the one Sun used to have. My understanding is that they stopped supporting that server. My background for this need is a classroom setting that teaches servlets and JSP, but does not want to specify a tool for deployment. With the old JavaWebServer it was just a matter of copying a Servlet or JSP to a directory. That is what I am looking for in this case.
If anyone has any thoughts on this, please let me know.
Thanks

Try http://www.apache.org Jakarta-Tomcat will work fine.

I just need a simple GUI...

I can't get my really simple GUI to work at all, I don't get all the abstract crap.
Can someone just make me a crazily simple GUI with a button that when you click it, it changes the text in a text box?
Thank you in advance.

I'm just trying to make a GUI, but I just want something to refer to.
All the ones I could find thru google were too complicated, I just want something that I can build off of.

When I attempt to access my IRA account on line, I get a message saying that the web site requires a client certificate. The certificates listed in the drop down dialog box don't get accepted, even though one is indicated as valid and good until 10/2014.

When I attempt to access my IRA account on line, I get a message saying that the web site requires a client certificate. The certificates listed in the drop down dialog box don't get accepted, even though one is indicated as valid and good until October 2014. I contacted the IRA account managment company and they sais it's an Apple issue. Any ideas?

Some websites require a special client certficate for access. If you don't have that certficate, you'll have to contact the site operator to find out how to get one.
Sometimes the problem is caused by a web server that is configured to request an optional client certificate. Safari treats the request as mandatory. In that case, other browsers such as Firefox and Chrome may be able to connect to the site, because they ignore the request.
The first time you were prompted for a certificate, you may have clicked through a dialog that requested access to the Apple certificate in your keychain that is used to secure the iMessage service. In that case, you may be able to regain access to the site in Safari by doing as follows.
Back up all data.
Double-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
com.apple.idms.appleid.prd
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Paste into the search field in the Keychain Access window by clicking in it and pressing the key combination command-V. An item may appear in the list of keychain items. The Name will begin with string you searched for, and the Kind will be "certificate."
Delete the item by selecting it and pressing the delete key. It will be recreated automatically the next time you launch the Messages or FaceTime application.
The next time you visit a site that prompts for an optional client certificate, cancel out of the prompt. You may have to do this several times before the server stops asking.
Credit for this idea to Christian Braukmueller of SAP.

What is the default web-auth required timeout period?

Hi,
As according to the cisco config example. (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk722/tk809/technologies_configuration_example09186a008067489f.shtml),
it says:
If clients are in Webauth_Reqd state, no matter if they are active or idle, the clients will get de-authenticated after a
web-auth required timeout period (for example, 300 seconds and this time is non-user configurable). All traffic from the client (allowed via Pre-Auth ACL) will be disrupted. If the client associates again, it will move back to the Webauth_Reqd state. If clients are in Webauth_Reqd state, no matter if they are active or idle, the clients will get de-authenticated after a web-auth required timeout period (for example, 300 seconds and this time is non-user configurable). All traffic from the client (allowed via Pre-Auth ACL) will be disrupted. If the client associates again, it will move back to the Webauth_Reqd state.
What is the default web-auth required timeout period stated in the example?
Many thanks.

Hi,
Yes it is 300 seconds and non-configurable to prevent DOS by depleting IP address on Guest wlan/vlan. There is an enhancement request filed esp. for your situation with Pre-auth ACL.

Simple GUI admin tools?

Hello,
I am trying to customize arch linux for a windows user, who does not know linux, but want to use it And all this is on an old Pentium 600MHz with 128MB RAM, so I am looking for light solutions.
So I have installed icewm with XP theme, rox, xfe and idesk, which basically resemble WindowsXP.
But now I am searching for simple GUI admin tools to manage users (add new user, change password). I would prefer the "unix way" - one simple tool for one task, instead of one Swiss-army-knife app. The only two tools I found are linuxconf/gnome-linuxconf (which unfortunately is not developed anymore) and webmin/usermin (which needs a webserver, and is way too complicated). Do you know any useful tools like this? Do you have any other recommendations? For example, I could not find simple and not terminal-only mixer, and there is no mixer tray for icewm, so I had to use aumix-gtk ang gnome-alsamixer (both of which are too complicated).
Do you know similar projects? Or if other (possibly "mini") distros use some light and not distro-specific tools? Please share your recommendations.
Regards,
miko

all arch has is webmin and usermin really and yes they aren't super easy to use... I agree it would be handy to have something basic in arch like that. Just doesn't exist as far as I know.

Tried it, worked as expected. Nice simple interface (maybe add a close button on the info window, well, maybe it's normal like this, i just don't like killing windows from outside(the window manager)).
Not that i'd use it, i rarely change my background image and if i do i do it via feh or similar on cli directly.
Btw, i modified the PKGBUILD a little, maybe you like the changes:

Simple XML advice required

Since I have never done XML before and while I am enjoying my Uni holidays, I thought I'd give my self a challenge.
Is it possible to create a GUI to connect to a specific site, (my university website and access all the Information using GUI just as if I was using the website, except that all the relevant information and headlings are stored in specific TextFields and Panels?
If it is then do I have to have access to the websites servers to modify it with my GUI XML.
The University website has a student facility, and ofcourse has a Login screen and from there on the user can view his marks, unit material etc.
Could some one please advice me with a helpful tutorial site so that I could try and incorporate it in my GUI application.
Thank you

XML is just a format for data. It isn't a language and it doesn't do anything. It isn't magic pixie dust either.
You could store the configuration of your GUI in XML if you liked, or you could store it as serialized Java objects or as some other text format. But that has nothing to do with connecting to websites.
You generally use a URLConnection object to connect to a website. But that has nothing to do with XML.

Charting within Web-PL/SQL Application - advice required please

Currently trying to enhance our Designer generated Web-PL/SQL application by including charting.
There is no provision to do this within Designer so are exploring other solutions, specifically using a server side servlet to render a chart as a gif, returning this to the client HTML page.
Has anyone got any recommendations on what to use to do this?
We've tried with limited success calling the Portal servlet (called chart) due to lack of documentation and relience on certain Portal procedures. We're currently experimenting with Oracle Chartbuilder, which looks promising, but would really like to know what the recommended or favorite solution is!
Any feedback appreciated!

Right now, I am displaying a table in the web by selecting all the records from a particular table.
This is how I do it.Not a great way to display a report. This is not re-usable code. Difficult to maintain. Difficult to add or change the presentation of data.
The proper way to do it, will be to use a DBMS_SQL cursor. After the cursor is opened, you use the describe function on the cursor that returns the number of columns in the cursor, the names of the columns, and their data types.
This data is then used to fetch a column value from the cursor, and render it (as per its data type). This can easily be extended to make use of reporting templates and defaults and even style sheets to make rendering easy and flexible.
DBMS_SQL is detailed in the [Oracle® Database PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_sql.htm#BABEDAHF] guide.
Should I include a search engine? or how should I go about it? Is there a way to break the table into smaller parts using the dealer id?Why not use APEX? The above method that I've described is what is employed by APEX. So instead of writing that yourself, having to deal with dynamic variable binding, pagination, web state and security and so on.. APEX does all of this, and more, for you.
