Yes, but since this is your homework it is up to you to at least try. You have even been given the algorithm for your solution so it's just a simple matter of writing the java statements to implement that algorithm.

Hello all,

I have 5 textareas one below the another. They are packed using the GridBagLayout (Doing all this in NetBeans 6.5). When only one line text is fetched in the textarea everything is fine, but the moment the text fetched is of 2 or more lines, all the textareas size increases reducing the last panel's (below 5 textares) height.

This also happens with the combo box. when the items fetched are greater than the width of the combo its width increases and comes to normal if the items are of less width.

Anybody faced such problem ??? Plz. help.

You will probably need to develop a custom layout manager rather than using one of the pre-defined layout modes. Basically, you create a class that implements LayoutManager, providing an implementation for the layoutContainer method, among others. You then instantiate your manager and assign it to be the parent window's manager with setLayout.

Try plowing through the docs for LayoutManager and take a whack at it. I can help if you have trouble.

[edit]
Hint - If you make your custom layout manager an inner class of the parent window, it'll have access to the control variables representing the text areas and be able to manipulate their positions.

Hi,

I have created a web application in Struts 1. It has got a reporting tool module, for which i want to embed the features of Pentaho into it. I figured out that it is possible by adding some of the JAR files of Pentaho into my application folder and editing my web.xml file. I tried, but couldnt get it the way i wanted. Can anyone please help me with this? I am not using hibernate in my project.

Regards,
Vivek Vijayan

This does not appear to be a Java question. Try the Struts or Pentaho forums instead.

This is far too much code for anyone to read through. Please identifiy the line of code where the error occurs and post only the small amount of code near that line. Have you looked at the documentation to see what an IllegalThreadStateException is, and what may be its causes?

Ok ..just look at this MAIN
is there something needed to be done at
Properties prop=new Properties(System.getProperties());

Please compile it at your side ....and look at error..
there are some errors which i cannot explain...
please just once run it at your side...and put the inputs
and see what is that i am missing....
Please help me...

Well once I had commented out all the irrelevant code I could not see anything wrong; it compiles and runs. However, I don't see what this has to do with your original problem which as I recall, was some sort of ThreadException. My only suggestion is that you use whatever debug tools you have and try to step through your code. Assuming you wrote this code in the first place you should be able to extract small parts of it to test in isolation until you can at least narrow it down to a specific area of code.

of the Url's related to that site..

Hope you get it...Please help and see if that works on your side...

Well I suggest you go back to Sun and ask them to fix it. I don't have the skills to work on a piece of code this complex, and as you haven't written it yourself I doubt that you have much understanding of it either.
