Website tool help - seems like it should be easy

I'm not exactly new, but it's been a long time since I've used Java.
I want to create a page with a list of upcoming events that is sortable by the date as well as the state it's being held in, and I want the events to have unlimited room for descriptions, something like this:
Arkansas
Happy hula dance competition! 9-14-2005, Little Rock, Arkansas.
Karaoke night. Come have a blast at Joe's! No admission fee. See
www.joes.com for details. 10-23-2005, Middle of Nowhere, Arkansas.
Missouri
Something inane, 2-24-2006, Somewhere, Missouri
It doesn't have to be exactly like that, but you get the idea. The kicker is that I don't have a database to store it in, and if there are a lot of entries, I'll go crazy trying to add them all into the code. Is there any way I can enter these things into a file and then get the website to read them?
I figured out how to do it with XML, but I can only use Java on my server, and I can't install things on it - only upload pictures and files. I was also able to figure out how to do it using a Tabular Data Control, but then only Internet Explorer users can see it, which isn't acceptable to me.
It seems like it should be a fairly simple thing to do, and I might just be looking at it the wrong way. I haven't ever really done anything hardcore in Java, and I haven't used it in years, so anything you could show me code-wise would be a big help.

Use something like HSQLDB. This way you can have all the power of a (small) database without paying your webhoster for MySQL & Co. The only requirement ist that you can write files somewher (I assume you can do that, but even if you couldn't there would be a way to solve this).

    To find out if my Lombard's usb ports are 2.0, and ipod compatable. Does anyone know?

    Unless you've added an expansion card with USB 2.0 ports, you only have USB 1.1 ports on your computer. No G3-based PowerBook has USB 2.0 ports built-in. Many iPods, including the fifth generation ones, will work over an USB 1.1 connection.

  • Can I install apps from Google Play on my Passport? Seems like we should be able to .

    Seems like we should be able to but I keep getting error that indicates an incompatible device. Android apps are compatible with the passport, so am I missing something here?

    You can almost do it directly.....
    There's an app called Snap.
    But you need a computer in order to install it on you phone.
    I highly recommend using their bete v3 version, I've put a link below to help you get started with some information about it.

  • How can someone use a stolen iphone? does erasing the phone (which I feel like I should do) make it easier for the thief to use the iphone?  If I don't erase it, it doesn't seem like anyone should be able to use the phone because of my password.

    how can someone use a stolen iphone? does erasing the phone (which I feel like I should do) make it easier for the thief to use the iphone?  If I don't erase it, it doesn't seem like anyone should be able to use the phone because of my password. Also, is it possible to retrieve anything that has been sent to the phone (i.e. text messages) since it was stolen through icloud? The "find my iphone" app says the device is offline but it rings when I call my number -- any idea how that would be the case? Thanks!!

    You have a password, so good move on your part.  Whether you erase it or the thief does, they still get to use the iPhone as theirs.  Which is more important (pick one), protecting your data or punishing the thief?
    Ringing occurs at the carrier.  Chances are you're going to voicemail after only two or three rings.  If you have an iCloud backup also a good move.  Re-read my question in the first paragraph.

  • HT204666 Where do I find system and phone requirements/compatibility info?  Seems like it should be on this website ...

    What model(s) of iPhone are comparable with Apple Watch?  What iOS version(s)?  What else will interface with Apple Watch, and how?  What are the data plan requirements?  None of this seems to be on the website.  If it is, it's well-hidden.

    Everything that is currently public knowledge about the Apple Watch is here:
    http://www.apple.com/watch/
    The Apple Watch will not need a data plan as it is not a cellular device. It uses your iPhone's cellular connection.

  • My icloud storage is almost full, yet it doesn't seem like it should be?

    Help. My icloud storage is almost full. Because of that I can't back up my iphone. My friends and I can't figure out why it is so full. It is in the photo area, but nothing seems crazy big. I only have about 315 photos and 20 videos on my phone. Not even long videos - all are 5 minutes or less. Anyone have advise on what to look for?

  • Help please! (This should be easy)

    Ok, so my father set up our printer on the wireless network yesterday. His windows based computer can print fine with it. I'm trying to get my Apple to work with it now. I have a word document up, and I select to add a new printer, I search for it, find it, add it, and then print. Everything seems okay so far, but instead of printing my document, it prints 12 blank pages, and 1 page with randomly assorted letters (code?) on it. Sooooooo.... what should I do? Thanks!!

    Eh, getting help usually means someone has had a similar issue, and also makes forays into these discussion boards.
    That being said, I've never had that problem, but I'll try to help...
    So, I'm assuming the printer software is installed on your Mac? Or it's one that is already compatible with your computer. I guess you should check your printing options that pop up when you try to print. If everything seems ok there, I'd try downloading drivers from the printer company's website and reinstalling the drivers.
    Hope this helps

  • This should be easy ;O) How do I read the exif info in a JPG file?

    Hey all...
    I have been googling this for awhile now with not much luck.
    !st... Hi... I am a Flex AS3 newbie....  but... not a programming newbie...
    My learning project is to create my photoart gallery as a Before and After gallery. Part one is a Flex/Air app to gather the images, scale them to consistant display and thumbnail sizes and build and edit XML data files for the images and galleies. I have actually gotten most of that done..
    I am currently working on editing the XML files for the image information (photographer info, copywrite info, descriptions, gallery...etc.) and pulling in as much information that I can find in the image file itself. That being EXIF data.
    I have found a couple of examples but for the XResolution and Yresolution I just keep getting 72dpi... now the Jpg files that I am using from my camera.. when I look at the properties with Windows XP... it say 300dpi... when I load the image in Photoshop and look at image size it says 300dpi.. in Photoshop if I look at file information the EXIF says 300dpi....
    How can I access that data with Flex/AS3????? After all this is "Adobe" Flex Builder...
    This just seems like it should have been solved ages ago... Please.. point to the right path  ;O)
    I have searched this forum and have found one or two EXIF references, but no answers.
    Thanks for any guidance on the subject.
    Bob Galka

    Jean-Pierre
    Thanks very much for your quick response.
    One last point and we should drop this in favor of other more urgent issues we both ahve to deal with.
    The data is coming from a comma delimited (CSV) file using a comma ',' and optional quotes (") as field separators.
    The first column of 'good' data is read as an INTEGER EXTERNAL because of course it is a number. However, the 'bad' rows I want to eliminate have character text in them where I would normally find numbers and they all start with 'D','M' or 'S'.
    I don't have an actual column in the data file or resulting table definition that represents that first character that I'm trying to test on. Hence my use of (1) to reporesent the 1st character of data on the line regardless of whether its numeric or character.
    As I stated, the syntax works fine in SQL*Loader when I typed the WHEN clause in manually.
    I guess if there was a way to define a pseudo column that could be defined using the POSITION notation and everything else using the variable length delimited notation I could test on that psuedo column. I don't want the pseudo column to appear in my resulting table so that seems to be an issue. Enough.
    Since I've worked around it using external tables for this issue I'm not going to spend any more time on it today.
    As usual, many thanks for your help.
    Have a great day! I'll be back soon with another issue :-)>

  • List as a return type (Should be easy!?)

    Hi all,
    I'm pulling my hair out at this as it sounds like it should be easy. The method below should return a List. What am I doing wrong please?
    (This is making me feel thick, any help would be very much appreciated)
    Thank you,
    David.
        public String[] getHrefs(String uriStr) {
              List resultList = new ArrayList();
              HTMLDocument.Iterator it = null;
              Reader rd = null;
              try {
                   // Create a reader on the HTML content
                   URL url = new URI(uriStr).toURL();
                   URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
                   rd = new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream());
              } catch (Exception e) {
                   System.out.println(e.toString());
              try {
                   // Parse the HTML
                   EditorKit kit = new HTMLEditorKit();
                   HTMLDocument doc = (HTMLDocument) kit.createDefaultDocument();
                   doc.putProperty("IgnoreCharsetDirective", new Boolean(true));
                   kit.read(rd, doc, 0);
                   // Find all the A elements in the HTML document
                   it = doc.getIterator(HTML.Tag.A);
              } catch (Exception e) {
                   System.out.println(e.toString());
              while ((it != null) && it.isValid()) {
                   try {
                        SimpleAttributeSet s = (SimpleAttributeSet) it.getAttributes();
                        if (s != null) {
                             String link = (String) s.getAttribute(HTML.Attribute.HREF);
                             // If link valid, add it to the result list
                             if (link != null)
                                  resultList.add(link);
                        it.next();
                   } catch (Exception e) {
                        System.out.println(e.toString() + " : Skipping");
                        it.next();
              } // end While
              //     place all found links in array
              resultList.toArray(new String[resultList.size()]);
              // return array
              return resultList;
        }

    resultList.toArray(new String[resultList.size()]);In that code, you are not storing the result of the 'toArray()' method which is the array that you wanted. If you look at the API of ArrayList's toArray() method, it said::
    Parameters:
    a - the array into which the elements of the list are to be stored, if it is big enough; otherwise, a new array of the same runtime type is allocated for this purpose.
    Returns:
    an array containing the elements of the list.
    So the result will not be stored in the array given as the parameter, instead it is stored in resulting array that is returned by the method (regardless of whether or not the parameter array is used). What you want to do is ::
    String[] result = resultList.toArray(new String[resultList.size()]);
    return result;or as GiddingsR replied, simply:
    return resultList.toArray(new String[resultList.size()]);

    If they are iTunes purchases that you bought on your phone then have you copied them over from it to your computer's iTunes ? If that is the computer that you sync the phone to then you should be able to copy them over by connecting it and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. Or (depending upon what country that you are in) you might be able to redownload them directly on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.
    In terms of your account's balance, have you tried logging out of your account on your computer (Store > Sign Out menu option) and then logging back in (it will change to a Store > Sign In option) and seeing if your balance changes ?

  • My Smudge Tool isnt blending correctly like it should?

    My smudge tool isn't working correctly like it should in Photoshop cs5. Can someone help me?
    Heres an example. :

    When i do that, the image just messes up, My intention , for example. say i wanted to do a makeup edit, and i wanted to the picture to be more realistic so i added black around the noise and used the smudge tool to blend in the mark to look like it was drawn in a bit. Instead of doing that the smudge tool just goes one straight direction just as in the picture above.

    Does my problem has anything to do with SSL for mail settings? Cause when I tried re-adding it says something that I should try without SSL, and I did what you said and it gives me this "The IMAP server pop.mail.yahoo.com is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the incoming mail server field". Ahh.. this is so annoying, Apple what are you doing to me?! Or is Yahoo doing this to me?!
    Thank you for your time. Sorry it doesn`t work.
