Tools for Comparing Java Class Files

Are there any tools out there that can compare two .class files to see if they are the same ?? Please help.
Janet

In Windows there's the FC command that compares two files to see if they are identical. In Unix there is no doubt a similar command. Or you could write a small bit of Java code that reads the two class files and compares them byte by byte.

  • XJC Tool - For building Java classes from Schema

    Hi all,
    I am using XJC tool for Building java classes from Schema.
    Can we have any other tool for generating java classes from Schema?
    Thanks in advance,
    typurohit

    Solved my own problem and forgot to post the answer: the "xsd:import" is also considered as a targetNamespace, so each xsd:import needs a package specified as well when using oracg. It would be helpful if the Oracle documentation had stated that, but it does not point this out.

  • Any tools for converting java class to xml schema ?

    Hi,
    Are there any tools out there that can convert my java class to xml schema. How such tools take care of java collections like HashTable, ArrayList etc. in my class structure. I am not interested in writing any configuration files(like jaxb configuration files, jibx binding xml files etc.) for serving this purpose and the can be able to give me xml schema from the java classes. Please suggest ...
    I am not sure even JAXB 2.0 allows me to do this without writing any jaxb configuration files or annotations in my java class which is not there in JDK 1.4.2
    Thanks & Regards,
    Kr.

    Hi,
    You can convert the EDI file to XML in any of the ways
    1) Using third party seeburger adapters

  • How to encrypt jar files ? (please recommand tool to secure java class file

    Dear All:
    After release of our webstart application,I begin to worry about the source code -anti compiling if jars are extracted by un-knowen user.
    Is there any tool to secure specified jars of a webstart application (wich is composed of lot jar files,I just only want to secure the "KEY" jar file)
    I also heard that obfuscator hurts performance ,My boss does not allow such solution)
    Besides,If I have to use obfuscator,Is there any setting in jnlp to noted?
    Regards
    john from Taiwan.

    We're using Klassmaster: http://www.zelix.com/klassmaster/index.html
    There are a lot of discussions about de-compiling, encrypting and so on on the web, but enctyption discussions allways end up in a catch-22 case, because you will have to supply the classloader with key to unlock your jar-files....
    obfuscation is not perfect either, but it can make it really had to get anything usefull from the de-compiled code. We have not noted any preformance problems with obfuscation, only some reflection issues :-)
    There are also some special compilers for java which creates linux / windows executables: http://www.excelsior-usa.com/jet.html but I have not tried this myself...

  • How to convert a .jsp to a .java/.class file for use in peoplesoft

    Hi java/jsp experts,
    I want to convert a .jsp to a .java/.class file. is there a tool available, please let me know if you have any pointers....
    or can i do it manually:
    these are a few lines that the .jsp contains, and i would like to translate this to be in .java/.class format:
    <%@ page import="sun.misc.BASE64Encoder, javax.crypto., javax.crypto.spec."%>
    <%@ page import="java.util.StringTokenizer" %>
    <%@ page import="java.util.Map" %>
    <%!
    sb.append("<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"orderPage_serialNumber\" value=\"");
    sb.append(serialNumber);
    sb.append("\">\n");
    return sb.toString();
    %>
    how can i translate the above import statements and html elements from jsp to java, please let me know.
    Once i have the .java file created from the .jsp, I will compile .java to create the .class file and invoke the .class in peoplecode by using java apis available in peopletools.
    Thanks in advance.

    Is there a way convert a binary .exe file( compiled by
    another compiler) into Java .class/.jar file ? Anyone
    know of a free program that can do this?It's not possible. There are many decompilers and disassemblers for Java but nothing will take you from ANY binary to Java source. It would be the end of computing as we know it and the beginning of a new era -:)

  • Any diff-like tools for comparing two .vcf (vcard) files?

    Hi all,
    I'm used to keeping contact information backups in .csv form, its just much simpler to parse with sed/awk etc., I have a small home-cooked script to move fields around between Evolution .csv files and JPilot .csv files such that they match (brittle, but worked for me).
    Current Evolution doesn't seem to support csv output anymore, though, and to be honest the brittle-ness of having to hard-code in my scripts which column in the csv was what data always stung a bit. Evolution DOES output vcards, as does J-Pilot. Unfortunately, parsing vcards with sed/awk and the like promises to be real headache-inducing.
    Basically, has anyone heard of tools for comparing .vcf files? Sort of like diff (which works line-by-line on text) but working element by element on .vcf files.

  • How to convert java .class file to .dll file

    hi,
    I got a problem, I have to convert my java .class file to .dll file. Microsoft VC++ program will invoke the converted .dll file.
    Is there any other possibility.
    I was confused.
    Cam any body help me. If you are having solution for the can you send to my [email protected] account.
    thanks,

    No, it is not possible to do what you are suggesting. Yes, you could produce a DLL that wraps the JVM and loads your java class exposing a C and/or C++ callable interface, but that is a lot to go through unless your class is VERY complex. Otherwise, you might want to just create and maintain two implementations.

  • Converting Java class file to .dll

    Dear all,
    Is there any way to convert a Java class file to a .dll file?
    (Background being that there is a software that only allows callouts to DLLs and the method I have developed is in Java so need to convert it to a .dll)
    Any insight/advice/pointers are most appreciated.
    Thanks much,
    David

    Hi there,
    Yes you can convert a Java Class to DLL file using Microsoft Visual J#.NET (Installation required Visual Studio.NET) you can download it from the microsoft site.
    www.microsoft.com/downloads
    then go for search below in combo box(Visual J#.NET). After installation open new project select class library. write your java code(not fully supported j2se). build your application. All the Java Code is embeded in dll. Found at e.g. C:/JavaToDll/bin/debug/JavaToDll.dll This is a way to convert Java Code to a dll. frankly speaking i do not like .NET (copy of Java Technology must be baned completely).
    Thanks
    Please correct if i am wrong.

  • Problem in finding java class file

    I am writting an application using servlets , JSP and a simple java classfile. The simple java class file is for connection pool and the name of connection pool class is DBConnectionManager . I am using JavaWebserver2.0 and I have placed this class file in .\JavaWebserver2.0\classes
    I am placing my servlets in .\JavaWebserver2.0\servlets folder. Since I am using wfm package so my servlets are placed in .\JavaWebserver2.0\servlets\wfm .
    The problem is with compiling the servlet placed in wfm folder . I get the following error:-
    TestServlet.java:11:cannot resolve symbol
    symbol: class DBConnectionManager
    location: class wfm.TestServlet
    However when I try to compile this class in servlets folder and remove the package statement from the source file, it compiles and works very fine. I am having lot of confusion as the class DBConnectionManager is in classpath but even then compiler gives error. The same class when placed in servlets folder and package statement is removed works very fine.
    Kindly help.

    Hi,
    Is the DBConnectionManager class declared public?
    Does the TestServlet import the package that contains the DBConnectionManager?
    This is all I can come up with, with the current information.
    Cheers,

  • Loading Java Class File in JSP page

    I'm trying to load a java class file from a jsp page.
    (e.g. MyFile.java <-- Source "MyFile.class<--Class file of MyFile.java")
    jsp page
    <%@ include file = "MyFile.class" %>
    <HTML> // HTML Tags are here
    MyFile.java
    A normal java source file that has "public static void main" in it.
    My jsp page can display it's contents, 'except' for showing e.g. "1235%%215648%%public%%$$@##" through out the page...
