i am writing my first java program and am stuck on the following. i have example code which looks like
if (other == this)
return true;
where this is highlighted green in gvim, please could u let me know what "this" means in java. thanks

How to convert a sql query to a java language?

A sql like this:"update myoracletable set name='myname',age=26,sex='female',address=NULL,visittime=SYSDATE,visitnum=visitnum+1where name='name' and address='address'",I want to use java language update such as :rs.updateString(),rs.updateDate() but not a sql update.How can I do in this case?

Something like this?
try{
     DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
     Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@your_server:1521:sid","scott","tiger");
     Statement st = con.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE,ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
     ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery("SELECT deptno,dname,loc FROM dept where deptno=28");
     while(rs.next() ) {
          rs.updateString(2,"Some Name");
          rs.updateString(3,"Some Location");
          rs.updateRow();
          System.out.println(rs.getString(1)+" : "+rs.getString(2)+" : "+rs.getString(3));
} catch (Exception e) {
     System.out.println(e);

I know c,c++ and java language ! and i want to contribute for development of mozilla products ! any idea where i can find beginner level projects ! so that i can hone some real development skills too :)

You could also try jumping in on some of the Mozilla IRC chat channels as was suggested to someone else in another thread.
Also you could also try the [/forums/buddies new contributors forum], it does now have an Admin monitoring and replying. (At the time of the quoted post Admins were almost impossible to get hold of for forum matters )

Sorry I didn't see this earlier. :)
I know just the places where I think you'd fit in best. To make sure, just join us in #sumodev and #mozwebqa and #communityit at irc://irc.mozilla.org
I think your skills in php, javascript, python and server admin-y stuff will come in real handy at these places. :D
For example, some help is needed here to fix these tests after a new theme was added to wiki.mozilla.org and they are in python. https://github.com/mozilla/wiki-tests - more info in #mozwebqa
And maybe some help with perl might be needed with firebot, a irc bot written in perl. Channel #firebot for that.
And #communityit (for server admin stuff) and #sumodev could use some help as well, just pop in and ask. :)

Hi Guys,
I want to use a "&" function in below code & include vafrdate.substring(130,132).equals("01").
if ( delperiod.substring(4,6).equals("01") )
Need your help to include & function in java code.
In layman language , i need,
if ( delperiod.substring(4,6).equals("01") & (vafrdate.substring(130,132).equals("01"))
pls help me to do it in java language.

Santosh,
Use this -

Some changes we need in the Java language

Dear Java language makers,
I'm actually coding a fairly complex program, and I'm facing several issues c++ does solve while Java doesn't handle them. I strongly wish these features could be included in next editions of the Java language, and I think I'm not the only one...
1) Friend Class access
Say I have a parser and a Data structure. The parser reads a file, and updates another class (being a data structure) as it parses line by line an input text file.
I want my parser to fill up the data structure step by step, that is field after field, rather than using a constructor, because the information appears sequentialy in my text input file.
Using a constructor to intitialize my data structure (rather than field by field access on a void object)would require me creating several variables in my parser for buffering the information, then create my object. This results in a loss of coding performance, and execution performance (spending time allocating and killing buffer values).
On the other hand, I don't want these field values to be exposed to the users of my SDK, I want them to be accessed thru accessor methods.
You would answer me : put both classes in the same package, and declare the fields of the data structure "protected", and accessors "public".
Yes, that is a solution...but if you do really think Object Oriented, this sucks. Because a data structure and a parser are not the same thing, and I want to have them in separate packages.
one being named myApp.Datasets, the other being named myApp.Parsers.
And this can't be done with Java.
If only I could declare in my data structure class the Parser class as a Friend Class, this would solve the issue and be CLEAN for Object Oriented programming !
2) Operators
This very annoying the Java language doesn't support operators
Say you have a Vector3D class and you want to make a calculation :
in c++, you can define operators for your class, and make a calculation like this :
float a;
Vector3D v1,v2,v3;
//calculation
v1 = v2 - v3 * a; //clean and easy to read
Now in Java, not having operators, you have to deal with functions :
float a;
Vector3D v1,v2,v3, tmpv;
v1=new Vector3D();
tmpv=new Vector3D();
//calculation
tmpv.sub(v2,v3);
tmpv.mul(a);
v1=tmpv; //dirty and unreadable
In Java you get 3 lines for a basic calculation. This is the way it's implemented in JAVA3D, and this is the best you can do in Java to my opinion.
Just imagine how math code looks in java when you code a 3D Physics engine, regarding the previous exemple, and having to deal with matrices, vectors, quaternions...Well I give you a taste, a simple slice of the code :
vtmp.cross(Airplane.vAngularVelocity,Element.vCGCoords); // rotational part
vLocalVelocity = add(Airplane.vVelocityBody , vtmp);
fLocalSpeed = magnitude(vLocalVelocity);
if(fLocalSpeed > 1) vDragVector = div(negate(vLocalVelocity),fLocalSpeed);
Vector3f v = new Vector3f();
v.cross(vDragVector,Element[i].vNormal);
vLiftVector.cross(v,vDragVector);
tmp = magnitude(vLiftVector);
vLiftVector=normalize(vLiftVector);
v=new Vector3f(vDragVector);
tmp = v.dot(Element[i].vNormal);
Got it ? :)

Because a data structure and a parser are not the same thing,
and I want to have them in separate packages.Because a data structure and a parser are not the same thing, you should not jave them as the same type (class or interface), that is right. But this does not prevent us from putting them into the same package!
java. lang.Integer and java.lang.String are not the same thing, but I am quite happy with them as classes in the same package.
Put both classes in the same package, and declare the fields
of the data structure "protected", and accessors "public".Protected access would allow access for inheriting classes as well. The default (package-wide) access would be better.

Can you write javac in java Language

Hi,
is it possible to write java compiler in java language.

Here's a compiler written in Java, it is part of an IDE I wrote:
Compiler.java: import java.io.*;
* Wrap up javac.
* The class exists to supply a single method - to compile a file
* and report status along with error/success messages
* Compilation (by javac) is carried out asynchronously using a
* background Thread. Status and any error messages are passed back to
* the calling object through a callback method.
public class Compiler implements Runnable
    * Constructor.
    * @param owner the <TT>JavacTool</TT> that has created this Compiler
   public Compiler( CompilerListener owner )
      myOwner = owner;
   private CompilerListener myOwner;
    * Compile a file using javac.
    * This method will compile a Java source file and report both the
    * status of the operation and any error strings produced.
    * The method kicks off a separate Thread that actually carries out
    * the compilation. Upon completion a the JavacTool is called back with
    * a CompilerStatus object.
    * @param filename   the name of a file which <I>must</I> be in the same directory
    * as the JavacTool was run from. this tool does not have tha capability
    * of working across multiple directories.
   public void compile( String fileToCompile )
      filename = fileToCompile;
      new Thread( this ).start();
   private String filename;
    * The method run by the separate Thread.
    * It runs once for each filename passed to the Compiler object.
    * It creates a new OS process to run "javac filename" externally
    * and captures the error output from the real compiler into
    * a String so that it can be returned to the calling code via
    * a callback method (very similar in principle to an event)
   public void run()
      CompilerStatus returnValue = new CompilerStatus();
      returnValue.outputString = new String();
      try
         Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
         Process p = r.exec( "javac " + filename );
         InputStream is = p.getErrorStream();
         BufferedReader rdr = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( is ) );
         String line = rdr.readLine();
         while( line != null )
           returnValue.outputString += (line + "\n");
           line = rdr.readLine();
         p.waitFor();
         returnValue.exitValue = p.exitValue();
         if( returnValue.exitValue == 0 )
           returnValue.outputString = "Compilation successful\n\nNo errors\n";
      catch( Exception e )
        e.printStackTrace();
      myOwner.compileComplete( returnValue );

   public int exitValue;
   public String outputString;

            // When compilation is complete, the Compiler
            // object will callback on the method compileComplete
            // The Compiler runs its own Thread so this method

    * Method called by the Compiler when it has completed
    * @param status A CompilerStatus object that contains
    *    the exit value from the compiler
    *    (indicating success or failure) value == 0 => OK and value != 0 => error
    *    and an appropriate text message
   public void compileComplete( CompilerStatus status )
      setCursor( new Cursor( Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR ) );
      if( status.exitValue == 0 )
         outputWindow.setBackground( new Color( 0.85F, 1.0F, 0.85F ) );
                                     // pale green
      else
         outputWindow.setBackground( new Color( 1.0F, 0.85F, 0.85F ) );
                                     // pale red
      outputWindow.setText( status.outputString );
}This is taken straight from my IDE; you'll have to adapt it slightly to make it into a seperate application

by
dhana

which is the super class for java Language...
this is an interview question .
I SAY Object is the super class for java Language
ge ...If you mean the ultimate parent of all classes, yes.
(Although it's not the parent of interfaces.)
then he asked whether object class will extend ??
i say Yes it will implectly extend ...Not sure what is meant by "will object extend."
then he whether each and every class will extend
object
i say yes ...Correct.
then he asked multiple inheritance is possible in
java ...
i say no ...Correct. At least in the usual sense. When people talk about multiple inheritance, the usually mean multiple inheritance of implementation, such as C++ supports. The ability to implement more than one interface in Java is sometimes referred to as multiple inheritance of interface. I don't know if that term is in common use outside of Java.
then how will say object class will extend in each
and every class....
hai friends if there is any solution tell memMultiple inheritance means that a class' ancestors are not all in a straight line to the ultimate parent. That is, not all ancestors are parents or children of each other.
You are you father's son, and he is his father's son, and so on. So your grandfather is your ancestor, and so is your father. This is not MI.
You also have a mother. She's neither an ancestor nor a descendant of your father. That's MI.

Java Language problem: Multiple interfaces extension.

Not just any interfaces. Take a close look:
public interface interface1 {
public void aMethod();
public interface Interface2 {
public void aMethod() throws Exception();
}As you can see, both interfaces define a single method with the same signature... but one of them throws Exception.
Consider "merging" these two interfaces:
public interface Interface3 extends Interface1, Interface2 {}Should the resulting method throw Exception? Eclipse says it does. But I think it shouldn't. Here's the logic:
If the method in Interface3 DIDN'T throw Exception, it would be able to extends the method in Interface1 and Interface2, because it is not throwing checked exceptions not thrown in the superinterfaces' methods definitions... however, as It DOES throw Exception, it can't extend the method in Interface1, because Interface1's method doesn't throw Exception. Am I right?

It's not a naming problem. I'll tell you where the problem comes from:
I'm working with EJBs. I (personally) like to separete the business "signatures" of the beans in a single interface.
So, for every bean I make, I have a single interface that defines the method.... it says NOTHING about the beans.
Remote beans methods have to throw RemoteException, so I have to throw RemoteException in my business logic classes. I then make two interfaces that implement this interface. One remote (that just extends this interface and EJBRemote) and another local that extends EJBLocal and overrides all the methods so they don't throw RemoteExceptions (Local bean interfaces' methods must NOT throw RemoteException).
For example:
public interface Beaninterface {
public void aMethod() throws RemoteExeption();
public interface Bean extends EJBRemote, BeanInterface {}
public interface BeanLocal extends EJBLocalObject , Beaninterface {
public void aMethod();
}No problem so far.
Here's where the mess comences:
I want to EXTEND this bean interfaces so I make a bean based on the former.
I will add another method to the business interface of the new bean:
Business Interface
public interface ExtendedBeanInterface extends BeanInterface {
public void newMethod() throws RemoteException;
}This new interface defines the new method and inherits the method from BeanInterface
Remote Interface of the new bean:
public interface ExtendedBean extends ExtendedBeanInterface, EJBObject {}Nothing wo do there.
Here is the real problem:
I have to extend the ExtendedBeanInterface, but that will bring two methods that throw Remote Exception. I have no problem overriding both methods in this interface.. but how about if thyere are 50 methods in the BeanInterface? I'm not going to go ahead and removing each method for evety bean I extend. That makes NO sense. What I think I should do is to extend BeanLocal so those methods that were brought from BeanInterface be known not to throw RemoteExeption.
public interface ExtendedBeanLocal extends EJBLocalObject, ExtendedBeanInterface, BeanLocal {
public void newMethod();
}And THERE is where I hit the wall, because when I deploy the bean, the application server informs me that the resulting interface is throwing RemoteException (courtesy of ExtendedBeanInterface).
Accoring to my logic about Java Language, by extending BeanLocal, aMethod() shouldn't throw RemoteException as a result in ExtendedBeanLocal.
So... what is the next step? Go with JCP?

Dynamic equivalent of the Java language CAST operator

Hello,
Here is what I want to do:
I have an Object that contain "something" (I don't know at compilation time). And I want to do this call:
Object myObject = new String("Hello");
myMethod (myObject);
having declared these:
public void myMethod (Integer dInt);
public void myMethod (String sString);
I want the second method to be called. How can I do that?
I'm looking for something like a dynamic equivalent of the Java language cast operator:
??? myMethod ( (myObject.getClass())myObject ); ???
or ?? myMethod ( (myObject.castTo(myObject.getClass()) ) ; ??
Thanks.

How 'bout using the instanceof operator?
Like this:
public myMethod(Object obj)
if (obj instanceof String)
//do String stuff
else if (obj instanceof Integer)
//do Integer stuff
}

Java Language Specification error reports

Well, I wanted to report a typo in The Java Language Specification, Third Edition (http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/download/langspec-3.0.pdf), so from http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/ I clicked on the "feedback form" link (which points at http://developers.sun.com/contact/feedback.jsp?&category=doc&mailsubject=Java%20Language%20Specification%20Feedback). This was redirected to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/community/join/overview/index.html which offers no such feedback form. Consider this sort-of-broken link as the first problem I'm reporting.
The second problem is in the aforementioned pdf, section 4.8 (Raw Types), page 58, where on can read:
"The type of the member(s) of Inner depends on the type parameter of Outer. If Outer is raw, Inner must be treated as raw as well, as their is no valid binding for T."
This should be instead:
"The type of the member(s) of Inner depends on the type parameter of Outer. If Outer is raw, Inner must be treated as raw as well, as there is no valid binding for T."
I think a forum category should be created for just this: error reports about the documentation (pdfs, APIs, support web pages).

Your intentions are admirable, but you are probably wasting your time. This is a forum for Java development related questions and 99.5% of the visitors are not related to Oracle at all. most likely nothing will be done with your information.
I think a forum category should be created for just this: error reports about the documentation (pdfs, APIs, support web pages).It is a good idea actually, but such a thing would need very tight moderation and then there is still the question of how to arrange that something is actually done with the reports.

Is there an online Java language reference?

Hi,
Im looking for a reference that gives textual descriptions of the Java language. The only ones Ive found only have the syntax of the statements/classes with return values and arguments, not a description of what the class/method/variables ACTUALLY do.
thanks for your tips,
wuardo

Do you already use the Java 1.3 API documentation. This should be the first place to start when searching for classes and methods. It can be downloaded from:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs.html
I would also make sure you have access to the Sun Java Tutorials. It comes with example code and sample programs. It can be downloaded for free at:

How can I develop co-broswing on Windows platform with java language?
The function will be realized
Now I want to develop a co-broswing system with java language on Windows platform.That is to say I will develop
a application run on client to track the present browser.Wheh the URL address of your present if changed(for example
when you click a link or submit a form),the application will capture the new URL address and send it to the other
client that make co-browsing connect with you.The browser on the other client side will catch the new URL and refesh
the page to show the page.
The question I fall across and want to ask you
(1)How to watch system process with java on the Windows platform?Because I want to get the process information of
the present broswer,and then get the URL address of the present broswer.
(2)Develop an application to watch the URL address of the present broswer continuance,If the URL address is changed,
then send the new URL address to the client on the other side,let his broswer to show the new page using the new URL.
