but what the heck does this have to do with JSP? DSN is an ODBC concept, and has no relation to Java whatsoever. It's also an utterly outdated concept for for example .NET.

my worst day was the day I damaged my back badly enough that I now have a chronic back condition to top off my chronic bad knee (the accident which caused that was the worst I've ever had before).

programming a game isn't something for people with no experience in designing and creating software.

not after seeing several friends and colleagues quickly get addicted to it and ending up loosing serious money.

Wow, half a year for the company to respond to a customer complaint. Doesn't make you look good...

given his attitude (blaming his inability to learn something on his teacher automatically in his very first sentence is always a good indicator) I don't think he'll have gotten much out of that course.

not interesting. Just buy an osciloscope, they're cheap.

well said Ezzaral. My thoughts exactly. My first cell was stolen, the second lasted for 5 years until the keyboard failed. I bought a new one yesterday to replace another dead phone, wouldn't have done so had Nokia's build quality not gone down the drain over the last few years...

VB6 is end of life, period. It should never have been invented, and should never be used. VB.NET is a nice way for kids to get started with real programming who previously got suckered into thinking VB6 was programming. They'll at least have a partially familiar syntax. Neither is a …

ever more you'll notice that if your main skill is plugging away at code, turning technical designs into source using an editor, that you're quickly going to become an interchangable resource easily replaced by some cheap kid from India or some other low-wage country. Develop domain knowledge, interpersonal skills, management …

and oh, don't use that piece of crap bridge driver.

don't do such things from JSP.

not urgent. Come back in a few years.

you can't, period.

maybe you should start learning some English, and don't try to do that in "half da time". If I were to get a cover letter or resume written like you are writing I'd ditch it instantly.

oh, but noone got the right answer of course, so no one wins (except the homework kiddo...). It's like those job interviews where they have you solve a "programming problem" that's actually a bit of code they can't figure out how to write themselves, and never hear from them again.

either that or the server process is bound to the local network address and therefore trying to call the process through its external address isn't going to get a response.

There's a Java category in the list of categories of items when you connect to a database.

yes, we can answer it. Question is, can you...

[QUOTE=hammerhead;603044]^What :O? Is that not illegal? Are they even of any value?[/QUOTE] in many countries it is illegal. And in many others it is not itself illegal but using the "diplomas" handed out by them as proof of education is illegal.

Bill Gates will have a strong voice through the shareholders' meeting, as he's sure to have a big voting block. But he won't be running the company (and in fact hasn't for a long time) or deciding on technical direction.

to pay that little for gas... Filled up last week for €1.65 per liter, and it's gone up 2 cents since. And next month we're going to get another 3 cent tax hike per liter, on top of the regular price increase. Finance minister needs it to pay for the …

no, we're not going to tell you how to do that.

hmm, not quite sure when I started programming. It was using IBM Advanced BASIC on an IBM 5155 PC Portable, which was sold roughly in 1983/84. That makes well over 20 years now.

if you're using tempfiles you shouldn't care where they are as they're temporary anyway.

Almost ALL schoolkids think their school is bad because it doesn't let them do what they want to do. If you're bright you'll recognise that what most kids want to do is anything BUT schoolwork so it's a good thing schools don't let the kids decide for themselves. What languages …

senseless self-agrandisement...

[QUOTE=arjunsasidharan;406194]As jar file can be easily decompiled. Try using a third party tool on your jar to build an exe. This way your source code will be secured. Its just a suggestion. :)[/QUOTE] and utter nonsense. ANYTHING can be decompiled, and tools that turn jar files into executables in fact …

you will need a court order, which you won't get yourself. Employ a collection agency, they have that capability.

That's his worst problem, but not the immediate one. The immediate one is failing to take into consideration the requirement to add the application classes to the classpath he uses to attempt to run it.

we're not here to do your homework for you, kiddo.

and almost certainly another hoax. Very similar things make the rounds in the chain letter circuit all the time.

don't.

hard to say. Network problems, poorly configured connection pools, poorly written code that doesn't release database connections (most likely).

by talking to the customer to find out what he needs. by hiring people who know what they're supposed to do when it comes to designing software rather than asking questions on some internet forum and hoping for a one-step magic bullet solution.

no, we're not going to help you with such rubbish. Scriptlets are NOT to be used. Database access from JSPs is NOT to be used. Code tags MUST be used.

bleh. Just put up a botnet of machines you bought from some script kiddie and set them to repeatedly download it. Voila, millions of downloads. Remember: download counts don't say a thing about actual users, and even less about actual persistent users. I tried pretty much every version of FF, …

It's often preferably to collate data before writing it out to disk. That way you can write larger chunks at once, reducing the number of physical disk operations (which improves performance).

not urgent.

given your language skills, no chance whatsoever. given your skills at independent research, no chance whatsoever.

you fail. If you're incapable of getting a job without cheating you don't deserve that job. And one of the things Google is sure to expect is independent thinking and an ability to do some research, two things that your question here indicates you lack.

there are no simple strut applications.

no, we're not going to do your work for you. If you're too lazy to do a bit of research or too stupid to understand what some simple tutorials tell you, you shouldn't have that job (or be signed up in that course) and deserve to fail.

so you want someone here to write in a forum post the entire content of dozens of thick books, and decades of experience by hundreds of talented professionals?

that assumes the printer is actually assigned to a DOS accessible printer port rather than a network URI (which is quite possible with USB printers).

do NOT use ODBC! you're having network problems. Either the server refuses your connection at the network level, your JDBC URL is incorrect (pointing to something where there is no server for example), your client refuses the connection (unlikely if you've turned off the firewall on it), or something else …

you refuse to get the mesage, do you? Do NOT revive old threads to post your own gibberish that supposedly are questions. Start your own threads instead and post something that people can actually understand without having to spend half an hour guessing what the heck you're writing.

Do NOT use scriptlets in JSP. And learn something about Java in general before trying JSP. Lastly, don't blame Eclipse and the server for your incompetence. Blame yourself for not understanding what you're doing and why you're getting errors.

If you've really been at it for 16 years you'd know how to get such information. If not (as I suspect) you're just another schoolkid trying to trick us into doing his homework for him and we're not falling for that.

if it says it doesn't exist, it doesn't exist. So you're missing those classes or don't have them in the right place. NEVER try to second-guess error messages, they're correct (if sometimes a bit cryptic, which this one isn't).
