Studio Creator available on Edusoft?

Java Studio Creator is not available on Sun Edusoft. It is also not available from the CD media in the Academic subscription at our University.
How can I get the complete version of Java Studio Creator for use in academic projects? A 30-day trial is not useful in these contexts because projects can run longer.
Thanks
Manish

Thanks, yes it does and I have requested our campus contact to see how we can get it.
But I would like to make the following suggestion:
1. It is very difficult to find the software on the Sun Edusoft site. For wider use in the academic community (and students), it should be available as a free and unrestricted download. I use:

Help needed with Sun Java Studio Creator and EJB in a Portlet Project

Hi
I have created an web-application with JSF in Sun Java Studio Creator 2. The web application uses a lot of EJB's which acts as the dataProviders. In a typical jsp page i have more that one data providers(the EJB's) getting used. When i run the project everything opens up properly in the browser and the application seems to be fine.
But when i create a JSP 168 Portlet project and do exactly the same thing for some reason the Apache Pluto(comes as the default Portlet Container with Studio Creator) conks off.
Then i started going ahead step by step:
1. First i created a portletpage and added only one dataProvider(EJB) and ran the project...It gets deployed properly in Pluto and the browser comes up and everything shows up fine.
2. Just to re-confirm i did the same thing with another dataProvider(EJB). So still we have just 1 EJB in the portlet page. As expected it also worked fiine.
3. Then when I added more that one dataProviders(EJBs) in the porlet page the Apache Pluto conks off(saying that Pluto is not available)
I tried doing a lot of things but nothing works...Surprisingly the same thing works when u create a JSF web Application project but the same thing does not work when u create a JSR 168 JSF Portlet Project...
Did anybody face the same problem..Is it a bug in the Studio Creator...Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hi,
There are a few discussion threads in the feedbackprograms portal for Creator 2 EA 2. The URL is:

Error in deploying the java studio creator application to tomcat

Hi,
I'm trying to deploy my Sun Java Studio application to Apache Tomcat 5.0.28.
A simple JSF web application built using the creator works fine after deploying the war file under tomcat/weapps directory.
In case of a application with databse connection I'm getting the
" com.sun.rave.web.ui.appbase.ApplicationException: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: org.apache.commons.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot create JDBC driver of class '' for connect URL 'null' "
above error. My application connects to Oracle database using the Oracle Server type provided by the Studio Creator.
I have copied
jstl.jar
standard.jar
to webapps\%app%\WEB-INF\lib
The below url is currently not available ( Page not Found )stated as a solution in most of the querries regarding the deplyment to tomcat.

Thanks for any help

I had similar problems.
I used mysql with tomcat and have mysql in my Creator environment as well but still had the driver message you experienced.
I found that simply copying the WAR file into the webapp directory in tomcat caused a faulty deployment (it was creating /etc/tomcat5/localhost/YourProject.xml as a directory, not as a file)
I updated my Projects/MyProject/build.xml to include a deploy target and I manually execute the ant deploy step (having not figured out how to tweak the internal ant within Creator)
Note that this requires two jar files (see comments in the ant definition)

Basic vs Standard componets in Sun Studio Creator

Hello,
I am fairly new to JSF and trying to build a JSF webapplication. I am using Sun Studio Creator
I would like to know what is the difference between the Basic and Standard components...is there a specific one I should be using, or any would be fine ?
Thank you very much for the help.

Yes you can create Portlets for JBoss Portal using JSC as I have been doing a project with it! However, it isn't quite straightforward as exporting a war file. You need to delete a couple of JSC exported files, create at least 2 JBoss specific files to make it work in JBoss Portal. Then to use the user restrictions part of JBoss Portal i.e. assigned specific portlets to specific users, you will need to create another file. I'll post on this in due course (once I've found my crib sheet!).
There are a couple of issues though especially with the table components.:
The BASIC table in JSC gives you a sort by column and this sends out a stream of error messages in JBP when it is used. Fortunately, the workaround is to just untick the table "sortable" box. That removes the sorting ability and the table works fine as does the paging ability. You can also set the number of rows returned. The major issue you will discover about the BASIC table component is that the empty message i.e. no results returned/found will also give you an endless stream of error data. I worked around it by running a separate SQL query to get a result and then allow the page with the table to be shown otherwise redirect it. Not exactly elegant but it works. The STANDARD table component does not give this error. You don't see these any of errors when deployed in the Pluto portal that comes with JSC.
I also found that the choice of database is also an issue. JBoss recommends Postgresql but although it did work to a point in JSC, it did throw up an error with dropdown databinding (no idea!). So I changed to Mysql 5 which works fine in JSC but JBP requires a small workaround but prefers Mysql 4. If you're asking why not stick with v4? Well my project required the use of Views which aren't available in v4 let alone foreign keys. Think "compromise" and you will be fine!

Java Studio Creator Update 2

Dear,
I have installed Java Studio Creator Update 2 on my PC and I have prepared a prototype. now I have noticed that there are some components "xmlns:ui = " http://www.sun.com/web/ui ".
My question is: Can these components be used to Run Time to cost zero or it is necessary to acquire a license?
Thanks thousand for your answer, regards Guido: -)

Where did you get Update 2? I can see only Update 1 available for download

Some Questions about Sun Java Studio Creator IDE

I am quiet new to the IDE, but I experienced some
behaviours I do not actually understand.
I hope I can get some help here.
Sun Java Studio Creator Update 9
Each time I change the font size and type using the
"Advanced" option of the IDE the font I changed correctly.
But after closing and restarting the IDE the fonts are set
back to the default undoing my changes.
Is there a way to use code completion for the jsf tags within jsps ?
I know that there are code clips for adding jsf components to the jsp,
but (coming from eclipse ide) I'd appreciate a feature like the code completion for the jsf components. If there is a way by configuring, how can that be acchieved ?
Trying to add a "taglib declaration" to the jsp e.g. "<%@taglib uri="..." prefix="..." I get the warning that the tags of the xml must be welformed.
How can I add those taglib declarations correctly ?
Using the "File System View" after each change made e.g. to a jsp the
tree collapses and I have to navigate to the tree again to find my resources.
Is this common behaviour or to be configured ?
Thx for any support.

Hi,
1. The changes made to the font size and type are indeed getting reset in Creator update 9. However this behaviour is not seen in the latest version of Creator which is Creator 2 EA 2. The final version of this will be available very soon and we encourage you to try the new release which has lot more features and lot of bug fixes. For more details please visit:
http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/ea/jsc2/
The following thread will explain about the tags and how they should be well formed:
http://swforum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?forumID=123&threadID=47615
The behaviour of the File System View was encountered in Creator update 9 as you have mentioned. Once again this behaviour was not see in the latest version Creator 2 EA 2.
So we recommend you to try out the latest version.
We appreciate your valuable feedback and thank you for the same.
Cheers

Studio Creator Licensing Question

I'm currently a developer looking into 2 things...
1.) Evaluating the tool and...
2.) Creating a website for a non-commercial uses for a non-profit....
Am I on safe grounds as far as the non-commercial usage? If not, how soon could I purchase it....etc.?

You can purchase the SDN Standard subscription which includes a copy of Java Studio Creator today, we launch on Monday 6/28!. There is a free 30 day trial version of the subscription services and 30 day trail for Creator available as well.
SDN/Creator does not have a not-for-profit clause in it's license, so you will need to purchase the $99 SDN Standard subscription once the 30 day trial expires or you intend to commence production development.
We may, if there are many customer requests, look to see if we need to change this in a later release.
Thanks,
Dan

Studio Creator 2

I was browsing Top Coder's site and found a reference to Studio Creator 2.
http://www.topcoder.com/tc?module=Static&d1=tournaments&d2=tco05&d3=sun
Is this separate from the current version of Studio Creator? Or is it the new update we've been looking forward to? And, while I know it's not Sun's policy to publish release dates, if Studio Creator 2 is a separate product would the early access be available soon?
Cre

Hi,
The company policy do not allow us to reveal the new features. What I can share with you though is that it should be available shortly.
Please keep watch on the Creator web page for the latest announcement.
Thanks,

Studio Creator and Swing applications

Is there any plan that Studio Creator will have ICS BX like simple swing/GUI creation features for the client/server development?
Client/server is not dead and lots of us out there are still looking for easy Java client/server develokpment tools. That will be so useful if you include those features so that like in BX or visual basic, we will be able to use Creator as a 4GL to rapidly develop client/server applications.
I have purchased Creator hoping that one day it will be the only IDE that I will use for RAD of Java applications for client/server or intranet/internet.
Currently I am using JDeveloper ADF Client for developing client/server apps.
thank you.

Thank you. I guess we need to wait until the Mako release will be available.
I do understand that most IDE developers such as Sun, Oracle, Borland, etc. are focusing on Enterprises where administration is one of the biggest issues. But for small businesses and for some security reasons, there are still lots of demand for the client/server applications. Besides, in unix/linux environment (even on Microsoft platfoms with 3rd party products) it is possible and sometimes cheaper to have a network mounted client/server application running as effectively as a web based one, with a similar or less administration workload.
When Oracle announced the end of support for Oracle Forms 6i for the client/server (by 2008), many Forms 6i users moved to MS Visual Basic, instead of moving to the Forms services (9i, 10g) which Oracle hoped for. Many found alternatives such as Oracle 's very own JDeveloper (ADF client) for their client/server applications or Open Source alternatives such as Python with PyGtk bindings, etc. What I am trying to say is that whoever says that client/server is dead and they are not programming for the client/server anymore, it is bull****.
I hope the Creator development team remembers the client/server developers and improve the Creator accordingly. Otherwise, for guys like me who is developing database applications running especially against Oracle, there is no good reason to move from JDeveloper to Creator.
You should also consider adding more Open Source database support in Creator. Postgresql support will be nice given that it is BSD licensed and you can even deliver it with Creator. Using only Creator to create rich GUI applications running against either Postgresql or Mysql will be great and may be only way to attract more developers to this IDE from JDeveloper or JBuilder or even Eclipse. Telling people, "oh this product (Creator) is for web only, if you need Swing then use Netbeans" does not make any sense if you want to sell this product to guys like me.
Thanx for reading.

JavaScript problems with JSF or Studio Creator

Hi All,
Studio Creator has generated this code
<h:form binding="#{general$forgotpassword0.form1}" id="form1">
<h:inputText binding="#{general$forgotpassword0.txtLogin}" id="txtLogin" styleClass="frmObjects" />
<h:commandButton action="#{general$forgotpassword0.btnSubmit_action}" binding="#{general$forgotpassword0.btnSubmit}"
id="btnSubmit" onclick="alert('hello'); return checkLogin();" styleClass="frmObjects1" title="btnSubmit" value="Continue"/>
</h:form>
now after compilation, I get form1:txtLogin for txtLogin
Now how can I perform client side JavaScript Validation on form1:txtLogin??Thanks
Sudhakar

Hi Sudhakar,
There are code clips available which demonstrate how to make use of javascript. These are available at:
http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/reference/codesamples/codeclips.html
The codeclips that would be of interest to you in particular are titled Set focus, Select on Mouse over and Javascript template. Using these you should be able to do the client side validation using javascript.
Hope this helps
Cheers

Turn off automatic code generation in Java Studio Creator

A feature in Java Studio Creator automatically adds getter methods for all managed beans in every Page Bean, getter methods for all Session Beans and Application Beans in every newly created Session Bean and so on.
What is annoying is if these automatically generated code is commented out or deleted, they are added back again by the IDE.
We have a large project where the number of managed beans is quite significant. It doesn't make sense to clutter the code for every managed bean with unnecessary getter methods. Is there a way this feature can be disabled?

I have a similar situation.
I have a large project with several classes with properties.
It is convenient to use the 'add properties' option to add a property to the class.
However, when you do that, it is a private member and you need getter and setter methods to access the private members.
What I do to get around this is to just create a class and manually add properties as public members so they can be accessed without getter or setter methods.
By doing this, you expose these members to the world, but for large projects where the classes are not intended to be available for general use, you cut down the generated code by about 80%.
The other advantage is that you can define all the class members at the start of your class and avoid the problem of having the definition and getter / setter methods concatenated at the bottom of the class.

[installation] studio creator on Suse 10.1

Hi there,
on my laptop (1,7 Ghz cpu, 1 Ghz ram), runs Suse 10.1(kernel Linux 2.6.16.13-4-default i686) and I'd like install studio creator wich is at moment on XP (and I'm not very happy about the performance).
But looking at http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/sysreqs/index.jsp#04
it seems that it can only runs on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.
Did anyone try it on Suse, what will be the conseguence if I proceed anyway?
Thanks in advance for your reply.

Have you tried downloading and installing the latest HotFixes from the Update Center, on your window machine? The HotFixes have several performance improvement fixes.
