IMO, the replies to the query posted by 'kaninelupus' have been a bit too harsh. After all it is the very purpose of the 'Daniweb Community Feedback' to help out the forum members regarding any sort of forum queries. Though I agree that the way the question was phrased seemed …

A few observations: [LIST] [*]It seems that you are using an IDE for developing this project. It would be nice if you would format the code so its easy on the eyes. If using Ecilpse, use CTRL + A to select the code and then press CTRL + SHIFT + …

Hi there, welcome to Daniweb. :-) In case you need help with any topic, consider posting in the concerned forum rather than hijacking other threads. You can ask questions related to the XHTML markup in the [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/forums/forum143.html"]HTML and CSS[/URL] forum. Consider asking specific questions, something like, I've done XXX in …

>Does everything need to be Twitified?? Maybe; who knows. >Isn't that info available to any regular user of the site? Not exactly; Daniweb hasn't exactly got a specialized forum for publishing daily alerts or notifications. So, if you end up subscribing to a general purpose forum like "Daniweb Community Feedback", …

Sad to see you leave Mel; hope you would take a good amount of rest and spend some quality time with Miss AD. :-)

>Would Ruby be a good choice? Yes, given that it's not just another scripting language but a fun language which *has* an enterprise standing. Ruby seems to be living up to its name of a "fun programming language". So IMO, Ruby and Clojure if you are going for dynamic programming …

Pure Java solutions / libraries for converting videos to different formats might be a bit hard to get by. There are a lot of open source / free converters out there [like ffmpeg] which you can use in conjunction with your application to achieve the desired task since re-writing the …

>I'm having a problem adding the sockets correctly to the list because >its passing the thread to the list by value... In Java, object references are passed by value or in simple terms, Java has pass by reference when it comes to objects. Posting a bit of code to highlight …

Thank you all; I really appreciate the trust Daniweb members have placed in me. Looking forward to a better Daniweb with your help and support. :-) Oh and btw, the green color doesn't look that good; would have preferred something dark like black with red outline. ;-)

>any help to understand how/why the above works would be much >appreciated. The problem you are facing could be very well because of a broken library implementation. From what I can make out of the stacktrace, the implementation blows up when trying to convert the value of your object field …

>The Java platform supports a simple, deterministic scheduling >algorithm called fixed-priority scheduling Any official links? AFAIK, the JVM specification makes no such claim and leaves the details entirely to the implementation. I personally would be rather cautious in accepting anything which isn't stated in the official docs/ vm specification.

With the configuration given, I don't think there should be any problems with using IDE's like Netbeans or Eclipse. Are you using Windows as your primary OS? That might explain a lot of things. :-) If your OS ends up eating a lot of memory by running a lot of …

>oh oh i just did that cuz eclipse wants me to for some reason. If your class implements Serializable, you ought to provide it a unique identifier; the java compiler raises a warning if you don't do so. By using [icode]@SuppressWarnings("Serial")[/icode] you basically suppress that warning; not a good thing …

If memory serves me right, this is a known bug wherein if the dimensions of the image exceed certain pixels, the uploading fails and the upload window goes blank. Edit: Aha, I think I found the [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/forums/post920099-1.html"]link[/URL]. Read the sixth paragraph.

> How can I get certain html text input fields to appear disabled, and the text that's inside > un-editable or unchange-able? You have got to realize that 'disabled' doesn't mean or equate to 'readonly'. Both these properties disallow the user from editing the entered text but the real difference …

Specify your classpath using backslashes and not forward slashes. Also, it would be better if you first tried this thing out by creating a new folder test and placing your class file along with the JAR file in that directory.[code] c:\Test>java -cp your-oracle-jar-name.jar YourClassName[/code]

Read the Javadocs of the classes [icode]ResultSetMetaData[/icode] and [icode]DatabaseMetaData[/icode] for more details regarding your database/table etc. A simple web search for these classes might give you sample snippets on how to go about using them.

@hajjo Try the Spring download [URL="http://www.springsource.com/download/community"]here[/URL]. Download 2.5.6 which is the current production release for Spring. Also, give the Spring [URL="http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/2.5.x/reference/"]official documentation[/URL] a shot along with the myriad of books available on Google Books for preview. It must be enough to get you started.

You might want to look into the Java XML API, W3C DOM API and its implementations like Xerces. The Xerces XML parsing library comes bundled with your Java runtime. A simple Xerces program:[code] public class Test { public static void main(final String[] args) throws Exception { DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(); …

>Would it make sense to add a new forum to separate it? No, seriously. Been there, done that; it causes more problems than solving any.

>how do u create a 3d model in java? You normally don't *create* 3D models in Java; you use a 3D modeling tool like Maya[commercial], 3DS Max[commercial] or Blender[free]. This model is then loaded and rendered in your application using a rendering API like [URL="https://jogl.dev.java.net/"]JOGL [/URL]or a game engine like …

This thread has gone *way* off-topic. If all you guys want to do is chat about how expensive the standard of living in country XXX create a new thread; this one's dead until some higher-up feels that there is a reason this thread should continue to exist.

>I was thinking that i would have to store each line in a array and >just calling it by the number in that array. Storing the data/lines which won't be used has little meaning; you can just read lines and keep skipping them until you read the line you require …

[quote=cscgal;301828]Two questions rolled into one ... what is the difference between Virtual Memory and a Page File[/quote] You are getting confused -- Paging is a mechanism used to implement the concept of virtual memory.

> instead of accessing the images as collection items, use document.getElementById('imageID') Actually it's the other way round. Instead of traversing the DOM tree it's better to use the images collection which holds a reference to all the images object in the document.

They are called '[URL="http://onestepback.org/index.cgi/Tech/Ruby/SymbolsAreNotImmutableStrings.red"]symbols[/URL]' in Ruby.

You can use the [icode]URLConnection[/icode] class or the Apache Commons HttpClient library to retrieve the HTML generated by your JSP; pushing it into a StringBuffer/StringBuilder is just a matter of reading the HTTP response stream.

The most simple approach would be to put logging statements in your setter methods of your value objects i.e. Employee, Company, Address etc. However if all you need to do is log the old and new values i.e. the same thing for each value object, you might consider looking into …

What is the output of [icode]rst.getString("imagePath")[/icode] and [icode]rst.getString("imgName")[/icode] ? BTW, you shouldn't store absolute paths in a database table; consider the problems you would face when migrating your application.

Though I'm not exactly the 'powers that be' let me hazard a reply.

> Garbage collection happens only when there are exactly zero > remaining references Not exactly; circular references are also garbage collected. More specifically, objects are eligible for garbage collection if there exists no reference from a live thread to that object.

If you can afford eager loading, a better way would be to declare your singleton instance as:[code] public class MySingleton { private static final MySingleton instance = new MySingleton(); private MySingleton() { // initialization code goes here } public static MySingleton getInstance() { return instance; } public void doSomething() { …

You need the mail.jar in your classpath; you need to download the JavaMail jars if you already don't have them. You would also be needing the Java Activation Framework libraries [activation.jar] if you are not using Java 6.

Also, no need to do [icode]calendar.setTime(time)[/icode] ; the new instance of the calendar has the current time. BTW, if you find yourself fiddling around a lot with time related methods in your application, take a look at [URL="http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/"]JodaTime[/URL].
