in a nutshell:
- real desktop applications aren't written in java. (or, to be more precise: for the java platform).
- popular: Jbuilder (borland), Together control center 5.5 (GUI+CASE tool) both for enterprise programming, Sun Forte (netbeans developer) is quite advanced but complicated, it's community edition is for free and very complete (<-> jbuilder comm. edition). all written in java, all real slow. Fast and free (but no debugger, high-end-hyped features): RealJ
- Programms in java run on any JVM environment .. since java is not only a programming language...
Java is a _platform_, it's a programming language, and it is a big class library.
1) It's platform uterly failed on the client / every day app side (and for a reason); I do not have not a single java killerapp software on this java platform, and due to the fact that a big it firm (sun) is pushing java, I am wondering why it did not succeed? Clients will _never_ be java, you can forget about that.
2) Language: the java syntax is so heavily influenced by C++ I must say it is just a rip-off. Even though, not only in detail, practical class design philosophy is differnent (non multi-inheritance, interfaces).
3) class library: big and complete, but its an implementation and this means it has ups and low ... Just look at the way the GUI looks. Yak. I do not care how well designed a GUI is for a *programmer* if the end product just doesn't look professional. (that's why I still use MFC, even though I do not like it's design.. did anyone hear of QT????)
C++ is a philosophy.
So what´s the big deal about java???
1) HYPE: sun is backing it up
2) TRUTH: it has a strong *SERVER* side (J2EE=java 2 enterprise edition and EJB) because even though java is slower, J2EE scales.. This is the single place where java is ruling. But that´s the enterprise edition and it's all about 3-thiered apps. that's why one should bother about java!!
I am a professional C++ coder and as A.Stepanov (STL originator) once said, " [..] I did not find any new insights - for the first time in my life programming in a new language did not bring me new insights. [..]".
I hold courses on Java programming for it students.

"Clients will _never_ be java, you can forget about that. "
Having implemented 3 of those, i do not think i am sure about THAT.
The first one, quite a big one, did actually expose a very advanced gui interface compared to other business applications in that area (it is a booking application for various transportation).
The reasons for using Java on the client side?, RMI: a quite easy way to do distributed component coding without all the fuzz you have to stand up to when using Corba or DCOM. Also, using AWT (and even, argh, Swing) makes it possible to throw all your energy into designing instead of dealing with billions of implementation details.

Hi,
I am using Netbeans here quite extensively, and although I enjoy the elegance of java-based gui programming, I am not satisfied with the *result* - (the finished) product.
It just lacks the smoothness and clearness of a standard windows app. And customers not acquainted with the differences of swing/mfc whatsover often want a *real* windows app.
If your customers are satisfied with a java based client, so much the better - for you! You obviously save time and nerves and money using swing / etc.
Java programming never has been unelegant from a designers or programmers view.

I want to create a programm that would read data from a file and will put each distinct item in a hashtable,counting how often it appears.I want to count first how often single characters or numbers appear,then how often the combination of two characters appear,three characters etc.
More specifically...
How can I use hashtable to count the appearances of some items in a file.For example how often is the letter a used,letter b etc.I am using hashtable.class in java.util.* ,but what I can not do is associate each letter that I am reading with a place in the hashtable.
For example the following code creates a hashtable called numbers with the default capacity and load factor.Then one-two-three are used as the keys and 1-2-3 as the values.
Hashtable numbers = new Hashtable();
numbers.put("one", new Integer(1));
numbers.put("two", new Integer(2));
numbers.put("three", new Integer(3));
I want my hashtable to read a file one character or one number at a time and count their appearances.
The data would most probably be in the form
abc
abcd
a
abce
ecf
e
fg
or
123
12346
12
348
7
2
3456
52
364725
Thanks a lot for suggestions to my previous question as well as to future ones.

Query the hashtable for the key before you stick it in. It it doesn't exist, add the key with value 0. If it exists, get the key's value, add 1 to it, and reinsert it into the hashtable. When you're done, the values of all keys will be the # times they were added.

I meant add it with value 1, not zero.

Hello,
I am fairly new to Java and I'm trying to create a
simple application.
I need it to create an editable TextArea on the
screen and then read the text which the user types in
there and display it in a Frame after manipulating the
text in some way, e.g. setting a particular font or
size of font or colour of font.
I am sure this is fairly easy.
I know how to create an editable TextArea on the
screen however I'm not sure what to so from there.
I need to somehow pause the program until the user has
entered their text and then use the getText method () on
TextArea and assign this to a string.
I then need to manipulate the string and create a Frame and
display it in the paint method using drawstring, how
do I manipulate the text to set the font type, font
size and font colour etc??
Any ideas appreciated, I may be approaching this the
wrong way!
Here is what I have so far;
Jon.
import java.awt.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
class IOExample extends Frame {
IOExample (){
addWindowListener (new MyListener());
}
public static void main (String args[]) throws IOException {
IOExample n = new IOExample();
TextArea textarea = new TextArea(100,100);
textarea.setEditable(true);
n.add(textarea);
n.show();
//need to pause here until the user has finished input. Not sure how to
//do this
String formatstring = textarea.getText();
//need to manipulate the string in some way, and I should be able to
//create new frame and display the text....
}
}
class Mylistener extends WindowAdapter{
public void WindowClosing (WindowEvent e) {
System.exit(0); } }

Hi Jon
Soln's Prety Simple  ,
//--- your code --
public static void main (String args[]) throws IOException {
IOExample n = new IOExample();
TextArea textarea = new TextArea(100,100);
textarea.setEditable(true);
//--- Add A button HERE and add ActionListener
n.add(textarea);
n.show();
//STOP - Dont Use GetText() Here!
}
In the ActionPerformed Method of the class, Use getText().
Dont forget this..
class IOExample extends Frame implements ActionListener {
=========================
Let the TextArea, and Button be Members of the Class
IOExample and Initialize them in the Constructor.

The following Java class implements hashing with open addressing,using quadratic probing to resolve collisions.When I try to compile it (using microsoft's visual java),it gives me this error:Undefined name 'OpenAddressException' at line32.Could someone please tell me what is wrong with it?
[jkouris@hotmail.com]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
public class OpenAddress
{
private int[] Element;
private int TableSize;
private int EmptyCell;
OpenAddress(int tablesize)
{
int index;
TableSize=tablesize;
EmptyCell=0;
Element=new int[tablesize];
for(index=0;index
|
|
|
|
|
change
throw new OpenAddressException("Element not found in table.");
to
throw new Exception("Element not found in table.");
|
|

I have tried setSize(), setBounds(), setMinimumSize(), setMaximumSize(), setPreferredSize(), and none of them work. The button takes up the entire applet window. Also, my applet shows up fine when I use appletviewer but when I put it in a webpage it doesn't show up. Any ideas? All input is appreciated.

It's been awhile since my java days -- but my first guess for you is to pick the correct layout manager.
The layout manager takes precedence over your sizing.... Is there still an XYLayout?
|
|
|
|
|
I am not familiar with layouts. Guess ill have to go reaserching =). Tnks for the reply.
|
|
|
|
|
Objects in a window are sized dynamically by the layout manager. If you don't specify a particular layout manager the default one is FlowLayout.
The layout manager asks the component for it's preffered size, then usually sets it's size to that (if it finds enough space).
If you really need to take control over an component's size they you probably need to subclass the component and override the getMinimumSize and getPreferredSize methods.

Hail all.
I have a question on LDAP. If I have a LDAP server with only supporting anonymous connection. Could I actually do authentication using users and passwords as stored in LDAP server? Thus I will make a open anonymous LDAP connection and then sending the user name and password to actually check whether there is an entry in there matching that user name (DN) with that password.
However, when I looked at the attributes in an entry (using anonymous connection again), I could not see user password as one of the attributes.
Then my question is, is it possible to do authentication using the method that I described above? Is there any API I could use (open to C++ or java)?
Any other method that I could make use anonymous connection to do authentication for LDAP ?
Thanks

How can i add some text boxes through javascript
i have a form having some controls already now i wanna add some more controls below existing controls.
Pls tell me the solution as i am new to javascript
|
|

|

The method of making radical changes in screen contents from javascript (Called Dynamic HTML) is basically to overwrite a chunk of the HTML.
But you generally need to replace the whole contents of a particular tag.
So you might rewrite the hmtl for your whole form.
You do this by setting the "innerHTML" property of the element you're changing the contents of to a string value containing the new HTML code.
You can, of course, put in tags just for this purpose, typically I use tags with IDs.
If you just have some fields that are only shown sometimes it's generally easier to just mark them hidden in the HTML and use the javascript to change their style.visibility property to vissible.

In order to send SMS messages you will probably need a gateway of some variety. There are a few vendors that supply the hardware/software (nokia do one I think) or you can buy a service from a online SMS gateway provider where you will be charged per SMS. The interface to these is normally http so you will just need to use the standard java.net packages to send a message from your app. I ended up having my app sending emails to my gateway provider who converts these to SMSs.
I have also seen some people use a phone (or a PCMCIA card) connected to the PC to build their own gateway - it all depends on if you can find a phone that you can connect in this way...and have the patience to tease it into life. Chances are you will need to do some JNI too.
hope that helps,
matt
