I am using NetBeans and I have the MySQL server with SQL db running on my computer. I have a desktop app with embedded db. I would like to find some good info on how to add button functionality to initiate another desktop app.
I would like to explore possibilities to initiate the MySQL command window. Is there a good way to add functionality of these applications so to have them available on my main desktop?
My interest concern importing the eclipse file that could start the???.jar when the button actions fired. so I would need Java code that I could put in this class.

Hello.

I was trying a new apache derby SQL prepardstatement to send numbers incremented form one into three tables.
if it find the number in any of the tables than it is not the number I need to create the next primary key
in my payment table.

I am not sure if the logic is correct and I am not sure if searching three tables is checking all the records.
Does someone know how this could be done?

There is no error. my payment table contains pymt_num=1 already. In my attempt (shown in output) It test the integer one
and it passes. Actually, there is an error when the form continues to insert the payment record where it will
not duplicate the primary key (pymt_num = "1").
It should find any foreign key pymt=1 and primary key pymt_num=1 and trigger the generation of another number. I did not include the integer generator.

uniqueBookingAndTotalsPymtNum: <--statement

CLASS 
 public class ConnectBookingDAO extends MasterForm implements BookingDAO {: 
 --> in public boolean bUniquePaymentNumber((1) var: (int num)<-- 
 : SELECT b.pymt,t.pymt,p.pymt_num FROM booking AS b,booking_totals AS t,payment AS p WHERE b.pymt=? OR t.pymt=? OR p.pymt_num=?

public boolean bUniquePaymentNumber(int aNum) throws SQLException, FileNotFoundException, IOException, UnknownUserNameException, IncorrectPasswordException, LoginException, ProfileException, InterruptedException {


        int num = aNum;

        bUniqueBookNum = true;
        bUniqueTotalsNum = true;
        bUniquePaymentNum=true;
        bUnique = true;

        //unique means that it is unique (not in table so it is what we are looking for.
        //it is not there to …

Personally, I use Netbeans to create a master GUI with basic component needed because
it is so much quicker. Besides component placement and the adjusting name
and the "code" Variable Modifiers (public static ... etc) it turns into a mess.

So once there is a master template created then you could extend as many times as you want and have different components and objectives and start learning how to hand code adding listeners and storing values,buttons etc.
As you pin point what you need to fix there is ample examples for specific needs
good luck

Hello all.
In my Apache derby db I set up Decimal data types like this:

admin_pay_rate DECIMAL(5,2),

I use JFormattedTextFields to filter decimal usage in text fields concerning money
Like admin pay rate would be 150.00: this is good.

In the JFormattedTextField it will allow 1,000.00 but the db crashes when this
Decimal is presented.

Will I have to change the db data type ?

admin_pay_rate DECIMAL(5,2),

I am not sure about maxValue in my class. Because I am not sure what is a good value
Or how to change maxValue to restrict a value that exceeds what the data base considers
A double.

Would someone know the best way to coordinate the field with the db ?

It works ok for now but the user has the ability to present number like
1,000,000,000.00 and in most of the values I am working with are not
that big.

Hello
I have created a multi tabbed JDesktopPane that will load 5 different configurations depending on the profile of the user logged in that has dozens of forms
And dozens of interactive JInternalFrames, JList, JTables, JTrees and a complete unique file system that is created for each new user sorted by profile. The user
Can interact and maintain different file procedures and additionally save Application created serialized multi tabbed JInternalFrames to maintain a note taking system. The application is built using the MV2 framework and it interacts with a Derby embedded Database through properties files, XML properties and a DAO.

I described the App to explain the App already has a strong Model, View Business logic in place and in good working order and the business rules are implemented already and being refined and debugged.

The First order of business that I can assess is that the DB will need to be switched when the Web App is initiated. My Desktop App has a basic undeveloped
Structure in place that implements a DAOFactory (if you will) and a package that contains Interfaces for each DAO. I have no experience at all with Interfaces
What so ever. Totally ignorant of any use it could have but I tried to tag it along as I created the App hoping it could be useful at a later date.

I would like to develop the Desktop Application into a combined Web Application. I would …

enums are fully defined in the source code and are in effect initialised when they are loaded by the classloader. There is nothing you can do to change their values at run time. So if you need to do something else, enums are not the solution.
Can you give a simple description of what it is you are trying to achieve?

Thank you that was my problem I was ignorant of how the Enumerations were loaded.
not a good thing. so I worked around a new constructor.

Actually the data types concern me here because I am not sure of if they will be usefull. My form sets the said
setters with different data types and my values() returns some good data yet the first column represents
the date that should be changing so I changed the constructor on my class that uses the Enumeration to track
the new "element". I have to evaluate the results too but this is what I returned.

thanks for your time.

 private boolean prepareRecord(DateTime[] processDates) throws SQLException, FileNotFoundException, IOException {

        bDone = true;



        DateTime startTimeField = 

LocationAvailableFormController.locationAvailableDataModel.locationAvailableBean.startTimeValue;
        DateTime endTimeField = 

LocationAvailableFormController.locationAvailableDataModel.locationAvailableBean.endTimeValue;

        LocationAvailableFormController.setStartTimeField(startTimeField);
        LocationAvailableFormController.setEndTimeField(endTimeField);
        LocationAvailableFormController.setLocationDesc(thisLocation);
        LocationAvailableFormController.setTableName(tableName);

       for (int i = 0; i < processDates.length; i++) {
            DateTime element = processDates[i];
            LocationAvailableFormController.setAvailableDate(element);

I will have to scrap this Enumeration and revert back to my convoluted cluster
of for loops and multi dimensional arrays intialized by lists lol

Because I do not see how these Enums load in the first place because the pattern
below is almost the same as a constants (objects) having parameters but instead of
it being a

LocationAvailableConstant("2011-06-27", ect

I expect it to get that value from another class.

I guess there is no way to make a re-usable Enumeration.

thanks anyway.

public enum AvailabilityRecordEnum {

    LocationAvailableConstant(LocationAvailableFormController.getAvailableDate(),
    LocationAvailableFormController.getStartTimeField(),
    LocationAvailableFormController.getEndTimeField(),
    LocationAvailableFormController.getEndDate(),
    LocationAvailableFormController.getLocationDesc(),
    LocationAvailableFormController.tableName);
    private DateTime dt;
    private DateTime startHour;
    private DateTime endHour;
    private DateTime endDate;
    private String locationDesc;
    private String tableName;
    private int timeSlots;
    
    AvailabilityRecordEnum(DateTime startDate,
            DateTime startHourField,
            DateTime endHourField,
            DateTime endDateConstant,
            String thisLocation,
            String thisTableName) {

        dt = startDate;
        startHour = startHourField;
        endHour = endHourField;
        endDate = endDateConstant;
        locationDesc = thisLocation;
        tableName = thisTableName;
        startHourToEndHourtimeSlots();
        
    }
    private void startHourToEndHourtimeSlots() {


        int diff = JodaTimeUtil.differenceInHours(startHour, endHour);
        timeSlots = diff;
      
        setTimeSlots(timeSlots);

    }

    public int getTimeSlots() {
        return timeSlots;
    }

    public void setTimeSlots(int timeSlots) {
        this.timeSlots = timeSlots;
    }
    
    

}

Thanks for that link. I have seen that an a few others and the problem right from the
start is that all the examples I have seen ,probably for good reason, instantiate
constants that never change.

I have seen constants set up as:

enum Grade {
 A, B, C, D, F, INCOMPLETE
 };

and I just looked at an Enumeration that gets initialized by a class

enum AntStatus {
  INITIALIZING,
  COMPILING,
  COPYING,
  JARRING,
  ZIPPING,
  DONE,
  ERROR
}
public class AntStatusTester {

  public AntStatusTester() { }

  public void testEnumMap(PrintStream out) throws IOException {
    // Create a map with the key and a String message
    EnumMap<AntStatus, String> antMessages =
      new EnumMap<AntStatus, String>(AntStatus.class);

    // Initialize the map
    antMessages.put(AntStatus.INITIALIZING, "Initializing Ant...");
    antMessages.put(AntStatus.COMPILING,    "Compiling Java classes...");
    antMessages.put(AntStatus.COPYING,      "Copying files...");
    antMessages.put(AntStatus.JARRING,      "JARring up files...");
    antMessages.put(AntStatus.ZIPPING,      "ZIPping up files...");
    antMessages.put(AntStatus.DONE,         "Build complete.");
    antMessages.put(AntStatus.ERROR,        "Error occurred.");

I do not have a grasp of this yet because I would probably try to change my code to some how initialize my

LocationAvailableEnum

as some kind of list as apposed to the above map. I guess I am not clear on what would be possible because my rough I posted earlier needs to feed a set of data into the Enumeration and be able to change the data for each element in

for (int i = 0; i < processDates.length; i++) {
            DateTime element = processDates[i];
         //LocationAvailableEnum();
        }

Clearly I am not grasping some basic concept.
Thanks

I went and tried to learn how to use Enum So I apologize for the lack of logical construction but I had
to start somewhere I have code that I am not sure how to use it because I don't know
how to call it so all the logic went down the tubes.
Can someone look at this and tell me if it is even possible?
If you have any clue what I am tring to do any feed back would be most usefull to say the least.

Thanks for your time.

I am tring to send the AvailablilityRecordEnum each of the processDates elements with its unique data to be
kept with it all the way to the insert.

private boolean prepareRecord(DateTime[] processDates) throws ... {

   
//set everything in one location

        DateTime startTimeField =         

LocationAvailableFormController.locationAvailableDataModel.locationAvailableBean.startTimeValue;
        DateTime endTimeField =         

LocationAvailableFormController.locationAvailableDataModel.locationAvailableBean.endTimeValue;

        LocationAvailableFormController.setStartTimeField(startTimeField);
        LocationAvailableFormController.setEndTimeField(endTimeField);
        LocationAvailableFormController.setLocationDesc(thisLocation);
        LocationAvailableFormController.setTableName(tableName);

//some how call the enum so it can throw my firs error...

       for (int i = 0; i < processDates.length; i++) {
            DateTime element = processDates[i];
          AvailabilityRecordEnum.LocationAvailableEnum();
        }
       
         return bDone;
    }

I just copied a structure that seemed logical and that I am done it makes no sense :

public enum AvailabilityRecordEnum {

    LocationAvailableEnum(LocationAvailableFormController.getAvailableDate(),
    LocationAvailableFormController.getStartTimeField(),
    LocationAvailableFormController.getEndTimeField(),
    LocationAvailableFormController.getEndDate(),
    LocationAvailableFormController.getLocationDesc(),
    LocationAvailableFormController.tableName);
   
    public DateTime dt; //  each record
    public static DateTime startDate;    
    public DateTime startHour;
    public DateTime endHour;
    public DateTime endDate;
    public String locationDesc;
    public int timeSlots;
    public String tableName;

    // Constructor
    AvailabilityRecordEnum(DateTime startDate,
            DateTime startHourField,
            DateTime endHourField,
            DateTime endDateConstant,
            String …

Interesting. I will have to look at the List Collections.synchronizedList and
find out how it will work with my present operation.

I have wrote a rough draft of a List that is loaded with DateTimes.From each element I can extrapolate three pieces of data that need to be kept together and synchronized with related data from a record. Some list will not guarantee everytning will be kept in order.

The whole operation is to end up with several data types to be turned into strings
and used to query and insert in a db.

Needless to say Collections.list,arrays etc. will make it quite confusing.

Thanks for the info and I will end this post saying I am going to explore the Enumeration maybe I will find that they are the solution.

don't forget to use a WildCard, f.e. Vector<String>, Vecto<Vector<Object>>... everyting about that is on Web

Ok, Wild card you got me there I will have to spend more time on

vectors.

All I thought I knew about Vectors is that there was no data type when
loading it and

to unload it I had to cast the element on the way out.

for (Enumeration e = frameVector.elements(); e.hasMoreElements();) {
            JInternalFrame frame = (JInternalFrame) e.nextElement();
            createKeyAndValues(frame);
        }

just google Vectors +wildCard ?

http://www.java2s.com/Tutorial/Java/0140__Collections/MultidimensionalVectorsVectorsofVectors.htm

http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Vector.html

Thanks I have not used vectors a whole lot. The links were good links to add to my collection.

The Vector class said:

As of the Java 2 platform v1.2, this class was retrofitted to implement the List interface, making it a member of the Java Collections Framework. Unlike the new collection implementations, Vector is synchronized.

and my ide says:

This inspection reports any uses of java.util.Vector or java.util.Hashtable. While still supported, these classes were made obsolete by the JDK1.2 collection classes, and should probably not be used in new development.

The Api did not mention anything about Vector being depreciated or obsolete.
I guess my IDE is out dated.

Thank god. I just spent 4 hours working aroud it. Vectors are our friend!
I'll be happy to delete all of it and start over.

take care

You may want to pay attention to setString(1,val1) as it should not interfere with the Primary key.

when I set the strings I start with the data needed and I do not attempt to alter the primary key so there are
six columns in the db but five values "?"
hope that helps.

I am not sure of what you may be up against. I just know that the following example works and it
may help you find your error.

good luck.

create table:

<entry key="createLocationAvailable"> CREATE TABLE location_available(
    record_num SMALLINT NOT NULL GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY(START WITH 1,INCREMENT BY 1),
    loc_desc VARCHAR(70),
    available_start_date DATE,
    available_end_date DATE,
    available_start_time TIME,
    available_end_time TIME
    )
    </entry>

insert xml

<entry key="insertLocationAvailable">INSERT INTO location_Available(
    loc_desc,
    available_start_date,
    available_end_date,

I was reading some code that encouraged the use of vectors but my IDE is saying that it is an obsolete Collection.

I need to use Vector because it can does not need to be a set size. and I would
like to have a Vector of Vectors. Is there some other way to do this?
Maybe an example of a list of list or some other kind of collection.
thanks

That is too much . I would have to set a pattern and figue out how to use
the defaultformatter etc.
I just validate the range on submit. thanks.

or better yet can someone decipher this one ?

private static final String TIME_PATTERN_24_HOUR = "(0[0-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-3]):([0-5][0-9]):([0-5][0-9])";

Is there someone that can decipher this?

private static final String EMAILPATTERN = "^[\\w\\-]([\\.\\w])+[\\w]+@([\\w\\-]+\\.)+[A-Z]{2,4}$";

can I use something similar to just allow [0-23]?

My MASKFORMAT is "##:00" which allow rounded hours but can I include that ## can only contain [0-23]?
what would that code look like?

private PropertyChangeSupport propertySupport;
    public static final String PROP_TICKING_PROPERTY = "clock is active";
   //public static final String MASKFORMAT = "##/##/#### ##:##:## UM";
    public static final String MASKFORMAT = "##:00";
    //public static final String SIMPLEDATEFORMATMASK = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss a";
    public static final String SIMPLEDATEFORMATMASK = "H:mm";
    private SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(SIMPLEDATEFORMATMASK);
    private static final int TIMERINTERVAL = 1000000000;
    private Timer timer = new Timer(TIMERINTERVAL, this);
    private boolean ticking = true;

I think you are right. Keep it simple. I don't know the scope of
data I will need later for calanders,forms,lists etc.
I will use 2011-05-04 because I see 2011-05-04 07:00:57 CDT every where and I may need
some of that info later. java.util.Date and calander is hard enough to learn
without changing formats. Someone should re-write it.

I installed Joda to learn some calanders but no progress yet.
thanks for your reply.

Below is how I set up my JFormattedTExtField.
The database (derby) will take the format no prob.

The db will then change the form to yyyy-MM-dd

If I follow that format from begining to end the JFormatted Field
will be fine.

However, when a date is queried from the database and put back to

the field nothing shows becaue the formats are now different.

so it goes in fine the way I set it up.but I need it to output it
in a format I am comforable with MM/dd/yyyy.

is there a way to do this?

:-) +1, this about real usage of, not about possibilities

<:-)> and then tell us how you can use myStle.css correctly (more than 500lines CustomWoodoo about definitions for create Stylled Document from SomeJavaGuru) and with todays Html syntax (Html ver.> 3.2), yes there are exist 3.rd part API </:-)>

We live and learn. Thanks for the heads up for some better code.

First of all you need to create a pattern of date.

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
 ...

Thanks that works good

if (i == 7) {

                    
                    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat();
                    sdf.applyPattern("MM/dd/yyyy");
                    Date utilDate=sdf.parse(txtFieldArray[i].getText());//12/31/1955

I did look at a new browser code and I dumped it in the code I gave
you.

I simply sent in the url and it works beautiful: just use this method

or make it a class.

            desktop = Desktop.getDesktop();

When I parse this date:

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat();
                   
                    Date utilDate=sdf.parse(txtFieldArray[i].getText());//12/31/1955                    
                    java.sql.Date sqlDate=new java.sql.Date(utilDate.getTime());
                    instructorBean.setStartDate(sqlDate);

error

May 9, 2011 7:10:43 PM view.forms.profileForms.InstructorProfileForm actionPerformed
SEVERE: null
java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "12/28/1955"

Can someone show me some code on a date that can be parsed?

Here is a Browser and some links to examples. Maybe you can send it a address when you need it good luck.

Hello all.

The Java Date and time classes are difficult.

I think I have to use java.sql.Date which is a sub
class of Date but is not a date unless the time is normalized to zero.
so I've heard.

I would like to work with my studentDOB first by collecting
a JFormatted field/put it in the bean /get the value from the bean/
put it back into the JFormatted textField.

I have DAO classes to collect and put results back to a form

Could someone help me get started with an example?

I use a JFormattedTextField that collect a obj as 12/31/2011. I don't
need mm,ss ect unless it is easier to start with

To collect the data to set the studentDOB I use

if (i == 7) {
  studentBean.setDob((Date) (txtFieldArray[i].getValue()));//format wanted 12/31/2011

}

I setString using

Just testing it using the :

 ----> ps.setDate(7, (java.sql.Date) studentUser.getDob());<----working with this one for now

@Override
    public boolean insertStudent() throws FileNotFoundException, IOException, SQLException {



        boolean insert = true;
        studentUser = MasterRegisterForm.studentBean;
        setTableName(tableName);
        try {

            conn = connect();          



            ps = (PreparedStatement) conn.prepareStatement(
                    ModelUtils.getXMLResource("insertStudent"));

            ps.setString(1, studentUser.getNewUserUid());
            ps.setString(2, studentUser.getNewUserPassword());
            ...

           ----> ps.setDate(7, (java.sql.Date) studentUser.getDob());<----working with this one for now

           ...

            ps.setString(14, studentUser.getEmail());

            int rowCount = ps.executeUpdate();
            if (rowCount != 1) {
                insert = false;
                close(conn, ps);  

                throw new RegisterException();
            } else {
                close(conn, ps);
                throw new SuccessfullRegistrationMessage();

Java and I just started using DOM I need to fight it for a while to learn basics.
I have a working solution. It may be over kill but it ends up rewriting xml
I'll post the example.

original xml
NOTE: The linkDesc will be altered.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<links>
  <link action="save">
    <linkName>ceyesumma@hotmail.com</linkName>

    <linkPath>www.hotmail.com</linkPath>
    [b] <linkDesc>The original description.</linkDesc> [/b]
  </link>
</links>

find the element and save the data in text nodes and introduce new data to the linkDesc tag

private void processForEdit(Element e) throws FileNotFoundException{
        if (e != null) {
            child = e.getChildNodes();




            for (int z = 0; z < child.getLength(); z++) {
                Element element = (Element) child.item(z);
                String name = element.getTagName();
               

                if (element.getNodeName().equals(LINKNAME)) {




                    if (element.TEXT_NODE > 0) {
                        value = getTextValue(child.item(z));
                        if (value != null) {
                            setLinkName(value);
                        }
                    }



                }
                if (element.getNodeName().equals(LINKPATH)) {

                    if (element.TEXT_NODE > 0) {
                        value = getTextValue(child.item(z));
                        if (value != null) {
                            setLinkPath(value);
                        }
                    }


                }
                if (element.getNodeName().equals(LINKDESC)) {

                    setLinkDesc(OpenURLListSelectionPanel.descTxtField.getText());
                 

                }




            }
           
            Document thisDoc = getDoc();
            root.removeChild(e);
            NoteRewriteElementXML nre = new NoteRewriteElementXML();
            nre.appendToOriginalXMl(thisDoc, linkName, linkPath, linkDesc);
        }

    }

change the document,transform the doc and rewrite the xml

public NoteRewriteElementXML() throws IOException{

    }

    public void appendToOriginalXMl(Document doc,String linkName,String linkPath,String linkDesc) throws IOException {

       
      this.doc=doc;

         NoteRewriteElementXML.linkName=linkName;
         NoteRewriteElementXML.linkPath=linkPath;
         NoteRewriteElementXML.linkDesc=linkDesc;

        frame = MusicSystemsJDesktopManager.getCurrentFrame();
        MusicSystemsJDesktopManager.setCurrentFrame(frame);
        frameName = frame.getTitle();
        JTabbedPane pane = (JTabbedPane) frame.getContentPane().getComponent(0);
        int index = pane.getSelectedIndex();
        tabName = pane.getTitleAt(index);

     
       addFragment(doc,linkName,linkPath, linkDesc);
        

        //set up a transformer
        TransformerFactory …

When Using DOM can the text in <linkDesc>[url]www.deleteme.com[/url] desc</linkDesc> be replaced or will the link element need to be

Hello.
I am not sure how this is supposed to work. I need to find a file that will be in
a folder data/gm in my package. If I move the program around is there a way to have the
program find its new absolute path .getAbsolutePath() from its path
relative to the program package?

This one works but if it were on a disk on someone elses computer. What's up with that?

public final String DATASOURCEDIR="C:"+File.separator+"Users"+File.separator+"Documents"+File.separator+File.separator+"netbeans"+File.separator+"gmInstall"+File.separator+"target_gmInstall"+File.separator+"gmInstall"+File.separator+"data"+File.separator+"gm";

can I work with DATASOURCEDIR to make it work no matter where the program is?

//public final String DATASOURCEDIR = "data"+File.separator +"gm";

Thanks.

Hello.
I have the methods used to serialize and deserialize but the final JInternalFrame
re opened does not have the menu or popup menu that the original has.

Is there more I have to do to save JInternalFrames and there Actions?

Hello.
I have search my app for all classes to implement java.io.Serializable. I think that
the needed classes are covered.I create and serialize JInternalFrames. When I re-open a JInternalFrame some of the JMenuItems do not do thier job. Also when I right click the Tabs on the JTabbedPane to bring up the popup menu there is no indication that there was a event. (no popup menu).
The JInternalFrames have InternalFrameListeners and the JTabbedPanes have a MouseAdapter
added when they are built. The originals work fine but if closed.The(serialized)copys don't. Is there some info on this? I tried Key words simialar to this post title.

Actually this forum is to help and guide with problems and not to do your work for you.

I did not start this post to be inhibited by your chit chat.
I am building the code if you have nothing more.
your post are of no use. I asked if someone knew of the existence of code already written
I did not ask you to write it.

/**
   * Deletes a file or directory, allowing recursive directory deletion. This is an
   * improved version of File.delete() method.
   */
  public static boolean delete(String filePath, boolean recursive) {
      File file = new File(filePath);
      if (!file.exists()) {
          return true;
      }

      if (!recursive || !file.isDirectory())
          return file.delete();

      String[] list = file.list();
      for (int i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
          if (!delete(filePath + File.separator + list[i], true))
              return false;
      }

      return file.delete();
  }
}

I'm sure that you can use Google to search for existing code. You can write it by yourself, all the information you need is in the File class.

I did not ask for your opion apines. This forum is to find code not to stroke your ego.
Stating the obvious is not very helpful. I will have code soon that you can learn from. clearly you need this.

Does any one know where there is some Java code already written to handle deleteing directory trees? Maybe with some undo functions?

Clearly, this is beyond the scope of this forum. The answer must be in DOM. I will
need to find an XML forum.

Hello.
I going to write fames.xml with my app. I need to know the best way to handle
adding a block of XML but not at the end because I need to have the root element
at the end. Any ideas.
1.never end it but when I use it add a end element?
2.RAF?
3.find a string (</rootElement>)and append before it?

Is there a standard proceedure?

Fixed.

Of course my first post makes no sense at all.
I have a program that adds frames and tabs to UI components.
Simultaneously adding folders in a dirctory.
I would like to learn how to use the program to write XML to save the paths to these folders.
first:
is this even close to a XML structure?
if so, can java write this?
further,can the blocks be added and removed and then saved?

I ran some system out and I have the data I need for now.
I have never done an internal dtd. Can someone proof it for me?

Can I write these as .xml and then use DOM TO use them?
thanks

Hello.
Can anyone bring me up to speed to use XML to manage adding and removing tabs
from a JTabbedPane?

I am adding tabs and I Would like some code or links that could show me how to
serialize any changes I make to a JTabbedPane.
Thanks

Of course my first post makes no sense at all.
I have a program that adds frames and tabs to UI components.
Simultaneously adding folders in a dirctory.
I would like to learn how to use the program to write XML to save the paths to these folders.
first:
is this even close to a XML structure?
if so, can java write this?
further,can the blocks be added and removed and then saved?

Hello
I am not sure what is getting serialized. I would like to serialize a JInternalFrame.
So what do I send my SaveFrame.java. because it puts a file "null.dat" in the folder.
I sent the frame got null.dat
sent something I thought was the class of the frame (as shown here) got null.dat

Clearly, frame is a class so I send Frame to be serialized.
create JInternalFrame

public static void createNotesInnerFrame(String ln) throws IOException, FileNotFoundException, SQLException, ProfileException, LoginException, javax.security.auth.login.LoginException, model.err.LoginException, UnknownUserNameException, IncorrectPasswordException, SuccessfullTargetFoldersCreation, ClassNotFoundException, InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException {

         String M =(" --> in public static void createNotesInnerFrame("+ln+") var: ln : xxxxxxxx<-- \n");
        System.out.println(M);
       
        JPanel contentPane = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
        SetObjects so = new SetObjects();
        SetObjects.setType("notes");
        profile = ViewUtils.getProfile();
        SetObjects.initPanelComponents();
        contentPane.add(SetObjects.obj());//sets the JTabbedPane that was created on JPanel
        String notes = "notes";
        frame = new InternalFrameNotes(ln);
        frame.add(contentPane);//puts JPanel on Frame
        frame.addInternalFrameListener((InternalFrameListener) frame);
         SchoolJDesktopPane.setNoteFrame(frame);
        SchoolJDesktopPane.setNoteFrameName(frame.getTitle());

In a word - yes.
You need to call JFileChoser in response to some kind of user interaction - eg clicking a menu item.
The JFileChooser returns you a File object, so you then open some kind of output Stream (eg new ObjectOutputStream) to that File, and write your data to the Stream

Thanks. I am on the right trail then. However,I have been able to collect info on
JFileChooser and Serializable but not a single example that shows them working together.
They both seem like vital operations. I wonder why there is a void in code examples.

I would like to learn how to save a JInternalFrame.
Currently reading through Serialize info.
I have never ran the app outside of Netbeans. I have had no success with creating
the jar for the app (JDesktopPane). Now Serialization is adding to the confusion.

Do I have to have the JMenuItem on the JInternalFrame to open a JFileChooser to save the
file in a Location and call a method or class to use the Streams to put it there?
Thanks

Go learn about regular expressions and the program grep. There are a lot of editors which can search for regular expressions, too. I recommend EditPad++
But this was not the error, though.
Look at

INSERT INTO content (publisher_code,book_isbn,book_title,artist,song,page_num) VALUES ('HL','0-634-01176-6','The Greatest Rock Guitar Fake Book','The Who','My Generation',277)

The semicolon is missing at the end.

Great thanks I'll look that up.

Before I leave the install post:
I started learning db's using Microsoft exess. Is the MySQL the same?
I was able to build the tables and relationships,forms and all that using a GUI with exess.
Is there a particular dl that has tools as such?

ok cool. now is that just something used in the command line?
never done a search.

If you restore your database from a dump file the error message should tell the correct line number of this file.
Most common problems when inserting from a dump are non-escaped quotes in field content. Search for a regular expression like "'[^',]+'[^,]" (not tested) which might find unescaped quotes in your input.

I don't know MySQL that well. I just ran my script.

Search for a regular expression

I don't understand where to search:
and "'[^',]+'[^,]" is ^ to escape ' <-really dumb question.
I am not sure how to search .

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/windows-installation.html

I re-installed the:mysql-essential-5.1.52-win32.msi
Thanks
Is there a indication here how to find which insert went bad? there are about 1000
to choose from.

ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that

Hello
Could help me get the right MySQL on my computer. I had it installed but it was a couple
years ago. My cp crashed. I can't remeber how or what to install. All I have left
is the script I used. I was running the command window one. that is fine if I new which
one to install.
thanks.

Uhm,

Oh,well of course.

        String M = (" --> in insertSelectedTab() var: xxxxxxxx<-- \n");

        System.out.println(C + M + AND + name + ": CreateSystemStartFolders.getInsertTabName() : \n");
        
        pane = getPane();
        int c = pane.getTabCount();
        CreateContentTabPanels gp = new CreateContentTabPanels();
        pane.addTab(name, gp.noteContentTab());
        pane.validate();

Some where in the code I create some files. Do you know how to use XML to keep track

I will need to delete this tab and file too.
