In a server-side application running on Tomcat, I am generating full HTML pages (with header) based on random user-requested sites pulled down from the Internet. The client-side application uses asynchronous callbacks for requesting processing of a particular web page. Since processing can take a while, I want to inform the user about pr...
I'm writing a J2SE desktop application that requires one of its components to be pluggable. I've already defined the Java interface for this plugin. The user should be able to select at runtime (via the GUI) which implementation of this interface they want to use (e.g. in an initialisation dialog). I envisage each plugin being packaged a...
I was just wondering if SCJP helps ? Does it enhance your programming skills? Or just kinda another exam with emphasis on syntax? ...
How do you ensure, that you can checkout the code into Eclipse or NetBeans and work there with it? Edit: If you not checking in ide-related files, you have to reconfigure buildpath, includes and all this stuff, each time you checkout the project. I don't know, if ant (especially an ant buildfile which is created/exported from eclipse) w...
I would like to display an RTF document in an SWT (actually Eclipse RCP) application. I know there is a Swing widget for displaying and editing RTF text, but it is Swing and quite alien in look and feel when used in the otherwise platform (not to mention that to the last of my knowledge it did not display images and had only limited sup...
I have the concept of NodeTypes and Nodes. A NodeType is a bunch of meta-data which you can create Node instances from (a lot like the whole Class / Object relationship). I have various NodeType implementations and various Node implementations. In my AbstractNodeType (top level for NodeTypes) I have ab abstract createInstance() method...
What technology / software / framework could be the best match to build an online gambling / poker system (website, standalone applications) ? Would you recommend Java/J2EE, .Net / Erlang ? Thank you. ...
Hello, I'd like to add a method AddDefaultNamespace() to the String class in Java so that I can type "myString".AddDefaultNamespace() instead of DEFAULTNAMESPACE + "myString", to obtain something like "MyDefaultNameSpace.myString". I don't want to add another derived class either (PrefixedString for example). Maybe the approach is not ...
I'd like to encourage our users of our RCP application to send the problem details to our support department. To this end, I've added a "Contact support" widget to our standard error dialogue. I've managed to use URI headers to send a stacktrace using Java 6's JDIC call: Desktop.getDesktop().mail(java.net.URI). This will fire up the use...
Hi, I need a Java way to find a running Win process from which I know to name of the executable. I want to look whether it is running right now and I need a way to kill the process if I found it. Thank you! Greetz, GHad ...
I am using Java 1.4 with Log4J. Some of my code involves serializing and deserializing value objects (POJOs). Each of my POJOs declares a logger with private final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(getClass()); The serializer complains of org.apache.log4j.Logger not being Serializable. Should I use private final transient Logger log...
I've been using the (Java) Highlighter for Lucene (in the Sandbox package) for some time. However, this isn't really very accurate when it comes to matching the correct terms in search results - it works well for simple queries, for example searching for two separate words will highlight both code fragments in the results. However, it d...
I've got a webapp whose original code base was developed with a hand crafted hibernate mapping file. Since then, I've become fairly proficient at 'coding' my hbm.xml file. But all the cool kids are using annotations these days. So, the question is: Is it worth the effort to refactor my code to use hibernate annotations? Will I gain a...
Hello, I'm experiencing the following very annoying behaviour when using JPA entitys in conjunction with Oracle 10g. Suppose you have the following entity. @Entity @Table(name = "T_Order") public class TOrder implements Serializable { private static final long serialVersionUID = 2235742302377173533L; @Id @GeneratedValue(...
In a Java application I need to checkout files from Borland Starteam 2006 R2 using Starteam API by various parameters (date, label). Is there any framework that helps to write automatic tests for such functionality? ...
Greetings, I am trying to build an Eclipse application that would work with a linux/motif installation target. However, this seems not to be possible even though the export option is available in the product export wizard. I've checked the content of the delta pack and indeed, the packages for linux/motif are missing. After checking ...
Tomcat (version 5 here) stores session information in memory. When clustering this information is periodically broadcast to other servers in the cluster to keep things in sync. You can use a database store to make sessions persistant but this information is only written periodically as well and is only really used for failure-recovery ra...
I've just inherited some old Struts code. If Struts (1.3) follows the MVC pattern, how do the Action classes fill the View with variables to render in HTML ? So far, I've seen the Action classes push variables in (1) the HTTP request with request.setAttribute("name", user.getName()) (2) in ActionForm classes, using methods specific ...
My understanding of Hibernate is that as objects are loaded from the DB they are added to the Session. At various points, depending on your configuration, the session is flushed. At this point, modified objects are written to the database. How does Hibernate decide which objects are 'dirty' and need to be written? Do the proxies genera...
By default tomcat will create a session cookie for the current domain. If you are on www.example.com, your cookie will be created for www.example.com (will only work on www.example.com). Whereas for example.com it will be created for .example.com (desired behaviour, will work on any subdomain of example.com as well as example.com itself...
