Using Java 6 classes with Java 5

I ran into a little problem with the portability of Java (ironic eh?) across computers. The program I wrote on my home computer uses GroupLayout for the GUI. However, much to my surprise, the computers at my school only had Java 5 installed so the program could not run (GroupLayout is a class found only in Java 6). Is there any way to somehow package the GroupLayout class into my program?

In fact, I'm almost willing to guarantee that refactoring would be easier than repackaging.

    Hi,
    ValueHolders are used by the JSF internal framework. To work with an object (attributes) in a managed bean you don't need to make it returning a value holder.
    Create a POJO, provide accessor methods and register it as a managed bean. Access it from JSF with EL

  • Most commenly used abstract class in java.

    hi all,
    can anyone please tell me, what is most commonly used abstract class in java. this question was asked in interview.

    I hate interviewers when they ask about specifics of some classes.The fact that you hate it doesn't automatically follow that it's a bad question from the perspective of the person conducting the interviewer. You don't know what the real question is.
    Bad "real" question: Do you know the statistics of Java usage off the top of your head?
    Good "real" question: Do you know that Object isn't Abstract and can you name a few Abstract classes off the cuff?
    Even then Programmers are so literal minded - the real question may be "Talk about what you know a bit."

  • Changing Java class into Java Bean

    Can anybody tell me how to change a Java class into simple Java Bean.I dont need any visual interface of Java Bean.I simply want to turn my Java class into Java Bean.

    You can use almost any class as a java bean.
    To be a bean it must
    1 - Have a constructor which takes no arguments (so it can be instantiated)
    2 - For properties/attributes which you want to have readable/writable, provide get / set methods of the appropriate type.
    Thats it.

  • Using List Class in java.awt / java.util ?

    have a program that:
    import java.util.*;
    List list = new LinkedList();
    list = new ArrayList();
    ... read a file and add elements to array
    use a static setter
    StaticGettersSetters.setArray(list);
    next program:
    import java.awt.*;
    public static java.util.List queryArray =
    StaticGettersSetters.getArray();
    If I don't define queryArray with the package and class, the compiler
    gives an error that the List class in java.awt is invalid for queryArray.
    If I import the util package, import java.util.*; , the compiler
    gives an error that the list class is ambiguous.
    Question:
    If you using a class that exists in multiple packages, is the above declaration of queryArray the only way to declare it ?
    Just curious...
    Thanks for your help,
    YAM-SSM

    So what you have to do is explicitly tell the compiler which one you really want by spelling out the fully-resolved class name:
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.sql.*;
    import java.util.*;
    public class ClashTest
        public static void main(String [] args)
            java.util.Date today    = new java.util.Date();
            java.util.List argsList = Arrays.asList(args);
            System.out.println(today);
            System.out.println(argsList);
    }No problems here. - MOD

  • How can I execute a java class with arguments from an air application built from mxml?

    I have an mxml application. It has a button, and when that button select event occurs, I want my mxml air app to pass arguments to a java class I have built, which resides in a package path on my system. I need to be able to pass several arguments to my java method from my mxml call. How do I do this, and what config files are necessary? For the simple task I want to engineer, can you show me an example of a properly configured config file? My java class has been executed at the command line in the past as follows:
    java -cp %CP% com.abc.prism.queue.EmitMessage XYZ "my message text" 192.12.13.14 5672
    where %CP% is an env variable that tells my class the classpath it runs with, and XYZ, "my message text", the IP address, and the port are the arguments I must pass from mxml to my java class. How do I accomplish this?
    How do I make known to the java class I call from mxml the %CP% class path? It tells my java class where to find various rabbitMQ jars.

  • How to use parameter file with java

    Is it possible to use a parameter file with Java, and is there any class/method to make it easy to call and use these parameter from a text file, other than scanning the whole text file manually as we can do normally with visual basic/c++, so we can call the program with the parameter file, like java testing c:\\testing.ini

    If I understand you correctly, you may be looking for a properties file. This is basically a text file that contains pairs of strings in the form:
    parameter1=value1
    parameter2=value2
    parameter3=value3
    ...etc.
    and the values are retrieved using the java.util.Properties class - see:
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/util/Properties.html
    Sample use://Call chis method once, to load the props file.
    //props file is called "demo.properties", and is
    //in a directory that is included in the classpath
        private void loadMyProperties() throws Exception
         InputStream stream = getResourceAsStream("/demo.properties");
         if(stream == null)
             throw new Exception("stream is null!");
         demoProperties = new Properties();
         demoProperties.load(stream);
         stream.close();
    // Then you can retrieve properties in your code using:
    String param3 = demoProperties.getProperty("parameter3");
    //...etc

  • Using ExecutorService class from java.util.concurrent package

    Dear java programmers,
    I have a question regarding the ExecutorService class from java.util.concurrent package.
    I want to parse hundreds of files and for this purpose I'm implementing a thread pool. The way I use the ExecutorService class is summarized below:
    ExecutorService executor = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(10);
            for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++){
                System.out.println("Parsing file No "+i);
                executor.submit(new Dock(i));
            executor.shutdown();
            try {
                executor.awaitTermination(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
            } catch (InterruptedException ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();
            executor.shutdownNow();However, the code snippet above creates all the 1000 threads (Dock objects) at once and loads them to the executor, and thus I'm worrying about memory leak. I haven't tested it on 1000 files yet but just on 50 small ones, and even if the program prints out "Parsing file No "+i 50 times at once, it executes normally the threads in the background.
    I guess the write way would be to keep the number of active/idle threads in the executor constant (lets say 20 if the thread pool's size is 10) and submit a new one whenever a thread has been finished or terminated. But for this to happen the program should be notified someway whenever a thread is done. Can anybody help me do that?
    thanks in advance,
    Tom

    Ok I found a feasible solution myself although I'm not sure if this is the optimum.
    Here's what I did:
            ExecutorService executor = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(10);
            Future<String> future0, future1, future2, future3, future4, future5, future6, future7, future8, future9;
            Future[] futureArray = {future0 = null, future1 = null, future2 = null, future3 = null, future4 = null, future5 = null,
            future6 = null, future7 = null, future8 = null, future9 = null};
            for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++){
                futureArray[i] = executor.submit(new Dock(i));
            }I created the ExecutorService object which encapsulates the thread pool and then created 10 Future objects (java.util.concurrent.Future) and added them into an Array.
    For java.util.concurrent.Future and Callable Interface usage refer to:
    [http://www.swingwiki.org/best:use_worker_thread_for_long_operations]
    [http://www.particle.kth.se/~lindsey/JavaCourse/Book/Part1/Java/Chapter10/concurrencyTools.html]
    I used a Future[] Array to make the code neater. So after that I submitted -and in this way filled up- the first 10 threads to the thread pool.
            int i = 9;
            while (i < 1000){
                for (int j = 0; j < 10; j++){
                    if (futureArray[j].isDone() && i < 999){
                        try{
                            i++;
                            futureArray[j] = executor.submit(new Dock(i));
                        } catch (ExecutionException ex) {
                            ex.printStackTrace();
                        } catch (InterruptedException ex) {
                            ex.printStackTrace();
                try {
                    Thread.sleep(100); // wait a while
                } catch(InterruptedException iex) { /* ignore */ }
            executor.shutdown();
            try {
                executor.awaitTermination(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
            } catch (InterruptedException ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();
            executor.shutdownNow();
        }Each of the future[0-9] objects represents a thread in the thread pool. So essentially I'm check which of these 10 threads has been finished (using the java.util.concurrent.Future.isDone() method) and if yes I replenish that empty future[0-9] object with a new one.

  • Integrate java class with forms

    dear friends,
    i use forms9i under windows2000,
    i try to implement a java class for a bean area.
    i have some classes who oracle demo provide.
    I DO the following :
    save HTMLTextArea.class in <oracle_home>/forms90/java
    and property palette of bean i write the class name in implementation class property HTMLTextArea
    and also set the Forms60_Builder_Classpath varibale in registry(c:\ora9ids\forms90\java\HTMLTextArea so when i run this form then received an error
    " java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: HTMLTextArea (wrong name: oracle/forms/demos/HTMLTextArea).
    plz solve this problem.

    I presume that you have to create the full path oracle/forms/demos/HTMLTextArea.class in the forms90/java folder...else,if you save there the java class without the full path (wich corespondds to the package oracle.forms.demos),the server won't find it..
    However,this is bad practice,to keep the class file on the server...create a jar file with this class,and add it the archive_jini tag in formsweb.cfg file..place the jar file in forms90/java folder
