Ruby > Java

2007-01-09T21:10:36Z

Sorry folks. I'm a Ruby snob now.

Java requires way too much typing. And their fundamentals are pretty-much broken.

Like the original vision for a language that's moving in directions its founders didn't plan for. The original model was very much security-minded, such that the language can't be flexible enough to adapt to developers' needs.

And that's what's different about Ruby. It's designed with the USER in mind. The 'user' is the developer !! Imagine that.

So I can do the same job in Ruby with prolly 50% less coding than Java requires. And prolly 80% less documentation lookups (what a time sink). How much time I invested in becoming Java-API literate, I shudder thinking about.

Of course, Ruby can't solve all the problems Java can. Desktop apps, for example. But the point is there are languages so much better than Java, you can only hope the Man will realize the developer is the 'user'.

efficient way to compare file content?

2006-11-17T09:18:39Z

Hi,

I am trying to think of an efficient way to verify that I modified a file and only that file, this could include adding or removing a file. I keep trying to think of all the different 'what ifs" and now my head is swimming :-)

Would a hash table of values be the most efficient? Where the key is the file name and the value is the file content? or would this be unmanageable?

Thanks,
Cecilia

webservices client

2006-05-19T13:33:39Z

Hey all,

I'm looking for a decent tutorial or example on writing webservices (SOAP) in java. Basically, I have an EJB in weblogic that I'd like to be able to expose (without using workshop) as a webservice, and then I need to write a test client. Any good references out there?

Thanks!

Problem with Hibernate, c3p0, mysql

2006-05-06T15:55:17Z

I have a webapp that uses:
hibernate 3.0
the bundled c3p0 connection pool
mysql 4.1.11
on Debian Linux
under Resin 3.x

My problem:
When the webapp is deployed c3p0 creates the connection pool and everything works as expected. After about 12-24 hrs of leaving it running on a test server, i try to access the application again and get an error message that looks like the pool cannot get a connection. Below is the full stack trace:

java.sql.SQLException: Communication link failure: java.io.EOFException,

I am also using the HibernateUtil code from the hibernate documentation:

public class SessionManager {

public static final SessionFactory sessionFactory;

static {
try {
// Create the SessionFactory from hibernate.cfg.xml
sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
} catch (Throwable ex) {
// Make sure you log the exception, as it might be swallowed
System.err.println("Initial SessionFactory creation failed." + ex);
throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(ex);
}
}

public static final ThreadLocal sessionThreadLocal = new ThreadLocal();

public static Session currentSession() throws HibernateException {
Session s = (Session) sessionThreadLocal.get();
// Open a new Session, if this thread has none yet
if (s == null || (!s.isConnected())) {
s = sessionFactory.openSession();
// Store it in the ThreadLocal variable
sessionThreadLocal.set(s);
}
return s;
}

public static void closeSession() throws HibernateException {
Session s = (Session) sessionThreadLocal.get();
if (s != null)
s.close();
sessionThreadLocal.set(null);
}

If i redeploy the webapp everything works, for about a day, then the same problem.

Any ideas?

i am a novice programmer and do not have too much expertise in strings. I was attempting a low-level program assignment and ran into a problem.

i am asking the user for input of an 'int', however, if the user inputs a different value, such as a char or a double, i would like to output an error message, then reprompt the user for input

if anyone could let me know what the general code necessary to complete this task, as well as any necessary import statements, i would appreciate your help greatly

wondering about java project cost...

2005-09-19T13:02:24Z

hi- i am an experienced J2EE software engineer, but i have worked in academia for a long time, so i have no idea of the real costs (LOL) of software development.

now i need a java app built for an independent project, and am wondering what the order of magnitude is for the cost- it is a web app with a simple e-commerce component and some basic CMS features- i don't have time to build it myself but i need to have my fingers in it slightly so i can make sure it is up to snuff- needs to be built with Spring, Acegi, Hibernate and Velocity running in Tomcat and with MySQL all on Linux.

if i get a contract/freelance coder, am i looking at $500, $5000, $50,000, $500,000 ???

just looking for some remote idea of the order of magnitude

Needed: Experienced individual with Linux and Java Skills for a VOIP Application

2005-08-09T22:36:07Z

Hello,

I am in need of assistance with an open sourced application called Messenger. Messenger is a text to voice lead application for realtors that sends email leads to a designated phone via a voice message. It makes use of Linux, Java, and some Voip PBX applications called Asterisk.

The Messenger system consists of the integration of 3 main software components. These components are a listings website, the Asterisk Software PBX, and the XUB software.

Here is a link that will answer most of what is needed to install and configure the application:

http://www.crt.realtors.org/projects/messenger/messenger_release/messenger_notification.htm

I will more than likely need to have some modifications done to the application, so a strong background in Java will be helpful (hence the Java Monkeys Tribe)

I would like to know how difficult it would be to set up this application, and what would be needed from every aspect to set it up.

Thanks,
Anthony

trying to open a shell using Runtime.exec()

2005-07-30T00:45:39Z

Hey all,

I am creating a service that opens a specialized shell and keeps track of that process by entering it into a hashtable. The initialization uses a checkForPrompt function that searches the InputStreams for a special character, ie '$' or ']'. However when I start the process on Linux, no prompt appears. (Ironically this works on Windows.) A snippet of my code:

Process ps = null;
InputStream in, err;
exec = "bash";

try
{
ps = m_runtime.exec(exec);

in = ps.getInputStream();
err = ps.getErrorStream();
while(!timeout){
tmpIn = readFromStream( in, "in" );
if(checkForPrompt(tmpIn))
return true;
}
else
timeout++;

}
.
.
.

Will the process ever return a prompt? Is there a better way to do this or check to see if the shell has been entered?

Thanks!
Cecilia

Writing Calendar Software

2005-04-11T02:33:05Z

Hi folks

I participated in a computing diploma a decade ago but have forgotten almost everything.

What I would like to do is write a fairly simple program that observes/records the passage of days. Day keeping it is called. It used to be done as a profession for the ancients in Guatemala known as the Maya.

I understand that Java or Java Script (I do not know the difference) might be the direction to go in. I do not want to do a degree in this subject or pay £1500 for a 5-day course.

Do you know a good website with learning tools?
Can you recommend a good book to start with?
Do you feel like a wee programming project?

For an example of calendar software have a look here:

window start up questoin

2005-04-08T04:53:38Z

Hey Folks,

Got a problem I'm tracking down and would appreciate any thoughts or help. My applicatoin main window is a jFrame.

The first thing a user must do is log in (which gets validated against a database) and there is a menu item which displays a modal jDialog.

I thought it would be nice if the dialog was automatically displayed when the application started, so I put in a call to display it at the end of the constructor. Bad move -- the dialog comes up, but the main window hasn't been displayed yet.

I think I want to override the show method (which I'll try next)...

EJB/XDoclet Help

2005-01-01T00:31:58Z

I am using MyEclipse w/ XDoclets to create a CMP Entity bean.

The ejbdoclet tag that I am using looks like this:

@ejb.finder
signature="Collection findByUsername(String username)"
query="SELECT OBJECT(o) FROM membership AS o WHERE o.username = ?1"

After running XDoclet the following code snippet is created in the deployment descriptor:

<query>
<query-method>
<method-name>findByUsername</method-name>
<method-params>
<method-param>String</method-param>
</method-params>
</query-method>
<ejb-ql><![CDATA[SELECT OBJECT(o) FROM Membership AS o WHERE o.username = ?1]]></ejb-ql>
</query>

when I try to deploy this been I get the following message from JBoss 3.2.x...

20:54:30,978 WARN [verifier] EJB spec violation:
Bean : Membership
Method : public abstract Collection findByUsername(String) throws FinderException, RemoteException
Section: 10.5.6
Warning: Every finder method except findByPrimaryKey(key) must be associated with a query element in the deployment descriptor.

Any one has any clues to why I have this problem?

character encoding/display problem

2004-12-23T10:56:55Z

I'm trying to get a rather simple application to work, and maybe somebody with previous experience in getting foreign-language characters to render correctly could point me to what I need to get it right. My straightforward and apparently underinformed attempts have not worked, and reading the obvious bits of the obvious API's has not gotten it to wor either.

The problem: a vocabulary trainer that reads XML containing a list of items in one language associated with their translation equivalents in another language. The languages in question could be Spanish from English, but they could also be Arabic from Chinese. A selection of items is displayed in two lists. So in the most severe case, you've got Arabic displaying in one list and Chinese displaying in the other.

I'm using Java 1.4.2 and Swing, and I don't think I'm having any difficulty producing clean UTF-8 files for the XML source data. (Although I don't think I have a trusted way to validate the UTF-8 encoding.)

Thanks!

?Applets?

2004-11-12T03:51:17Z

I think that I might have fooled around with them back in 1.0 or the 1.1 days. After the introduction of Servlets and JSP's I pretty much thought that their days were done. After the introduction of these two technologies there really didn't seem to be much reason for Applets to really exist: most thin client applications could be written with a Browser/HTML gui interface and servlets/JSP doing the processing and if you needed the client to do alot of processing why not make it a stand alone application. Indead w/ the dissemination of web services, you aren't even tied to java as a client. That is why I kind of odd that I have been seeing in job ads a requirement of knowledge developing Applets. Am I missing something here or is someone else a bit clueless? I hardly even see them used that often today. Well if know of any real good uses for them could you share with me. Maybe I am just ignorant in reguards to them.

jdk 1.5 performance

2004-10-07T19:59:46Z

We just upgraded our app from running on jdk 1.4.2 to jdk 1.5 beta, and the app is *much* zippier. And the java process is doing the same amount of work using about 25% less memory.

One question... Is there a performance advantage in replacing code that looks like this...

for (Iterator iterator = collection.iterator(); iterator.hasNext(); ) {
MyObject obj = (MyObject) iter.next();
}

with code that uses the new generic iterator syntax?

help with AspectJ please

2004-10-06T23:22:33Z

I have to integrate AspectJ into a large software development system. Can someone give me a very minimal "hello world" example so I know how the AspectJ files work and how to compile from the command line? The docs I've found don't give any simple examples, and the friend I asked not only gave me some huge example, but seemed to give me the instructions for compiling with Ant, which we don't use. I just need a simple Hello World example - I guess just one java class and one aspect file, and how to compile via the command line. Thanks to anyone who can help.

java Strings

2004-10-06T18:23:22Z

Hello,

· Write a java program that reads in an input string (provided by user) and prints out the string in reverse order.
· Any numbers (0-9) should be spelled out. (see Examples)

Important: You cannot use any built-in functions that automatically reverse the string for you.

********************************************
Example1:

If I were to type:

java ReverseString abc123

Then the result would be:

Three Two One cba
********************************************
Example2:

If I were to type:

java ReverseString 123abc

Then the result would be:

cba Three Two One
********************************************

Please note that if no string is passed, the program should exit gracefully (not by exception) with a message to the user regarding the usage of the program.

memory-saving tips

2004-09-22T20:41:48Z

Does anyone have any clever memory-saving tips to share?

The app I've been working on has been bumping up against the amount of memory we have, so I've come up with a few strategies that have helped alleviate the problem. Here they are...

1) Pack booleans into an int.

One of our classes has a bunch of boolean fields. Each boolean field is inefficiently stored in a 32-bit int. Now we just have one int field, which can hold all of the booleans.

The code looks like this...

<pre>
public Item {
// member variable for holding booleans
public int itemBooleans;

// utility for setting boolean values in the int
private void setItemBoolean(int pos, boolean val) {
int powerOfTwo = 1 << pos;
if (val)
this.itemBooleans |= powerOfTwo;
else
this.itemBooleans &= (Integer.MAX_VALUE-powerOfTwo);
}

// utility method for extracting boolean values out of the int
private boolean getItemBoolean(int pos) {
int powerOfTwo = 1 << pos;
return ((this.itemBooleans & powerOfTwo) != 0);
}

public void setIsRound(boolean b) {
setItemBoolean(0, b);
}

public boolean getIsRound() {
return getItemBoolean(0);
}

public void setIsSquare(boolean b) {
setItemBoolean(1, b);
}

public boolean getIsSquare() {
return getItemBoolean(1);
}
}
</pre>

2) Pack Dates into ints.

My first observation was that it's wasteful to store a Date object when all you really need to do is store the long value that the Date wraps. The class's API should use Date objects, but internally the Dates should be stored as longs.

My second observation is that if you only need accuracy to the nearest second, instead of to the nearest millisecond, then you don't even need a long. An int works just fine.

The code looks like this:

<pre>
import java.util.Date;

public abstract class DateUtils {

public static Date intToDate(int time) {
return (time != 0) ? new Date((long)time * 1000) : null;
}

public static int dateToInt(Date date) {
return (date != null) ? ((int) (date.getTime() / 1000)) : 0;
}
}

public class Item {
// member varibale that holds a date value
int creationDate;

public void setCreationDate(Date creationDate) {
this.creationDate = DateUtils.dateToInt(creationDate);
}

public Date getCreationDate() {
return DateUtils.intToDate(this.creationDate);
}
}
</pre>

Jboss/Redhat 9.0 problem

2004-08-18T03:28:51Z

Hi all,
I have been using Jboss (3.2.2RC4) on windows without any problem.
Now we are moving all our app server stuff to linux.
During startup jboss throws an org.jboss.resource.JBossResourceException. I am still able to use the app server to access our data even with the Exception thrown.
I have included the Stack trace below.
Does any one know what is wrong?. I would appreciate any help, thanks

Using Eclipse 3.0

2004-08-17T20:08:50Z

As I bore into working with Eclipse and moving up the learning curve, I have discovered that the Java Development Tool for Eclipse 3.0 is unstable. I brought down "Cheetah" which is JDT but is waiting for Eclipse 3.1. People using Eclipse I wager are using Eclipse 2.0. I think I can probably bring down 2.0 and use it since I believe(I'm not sure) that the update manager will keep them separate, but something keeps nagging me that you can't keep two releases on the same machine.

Question: is anyone using JDT on Eclipse 3.0?

Event Driven Architecture

2004-08-03T12:59:49Z

Interesting article about new architecture directions, beyond web services.

"A fitting use for web services technology"
http://www.pcw.co.uk/analysis/1156785

Leading-edge enterprises have been using Event Driven Architectures (EDA) to support selected and business critical applications. But at Gartner we believe EDA will follow a similar path to SOA and will become a mainstream approach. Today we have the ubiquitous networking, the cheap processing power, the integration technology and the application architectures in place that can make EDA practical for most organisations. EDA will have a dramatic impact, as it will enable application systems to be more proactive, more adaptable and eventually more responsive.

For EDA to become a mass phenomenon - like SOA is - there is only one missing link - a simple and consistent set of standards, although web services are evolving to support EDA constructs. An integrated set of standards supporting SOA and EDA would be highly desirable as the two approaches are complementary. Most real-life business processes have service oriented and event driven requirements and a consistent platform to support both would make users' life much easier.

MVC frameworks: Spring, Tapestry, Struts, etc.

2004-08-01T14:40:15Z

I'm about to embark on a new J2EE development project, and am evaluating model-view-controller frameworks. Struts is tried and true, but is a bit primitive feature-wise. Both Spring and Tapestry look to be promising, but seem really newfangled and somewhat unproven.

Does anybody out there have any large-scale development experience with either of these? I'd appreciate any comments, experiences, praises, beefs, etc. Performance and scalability are especially key for this system.

Newb question

2004-07-16T16:25:04Z

I'm studying Java because the Comp Science degree at my school is taught through Java, but previously I was studying the MS stuff (VB6 and C#.Net, ADO, ASP, etc.). I like to go the extra mile, because it really helps with school, so I'm going through as many O'reilly books as I can to learn more about what I'm studying.

My question is, what are the main uses of Java in the work place and in businesses? What are reasons companies choose Java over other technologies and what advantages does it have over others? Are there any aspects of the language I should be focusing my energy on?

Also, should I be looking into another dev environment besides JCreator? That's the one they tell us to use at school and it's free. But, is there something more comparable to MS's Visual Studio? Thanks in advance.

changing panels in a frame

2004-06-26T07:07:28Z

Hi all,

I am trying to update a frame that holds just a panel by removing the panel and adding the new one that I want. However, the new panel never shows up. I verified that the frame gets repainted and that the new panel is added (component count increments after adding). Still, no dice on the new panel. Anyway, I am at a loss on what to try next. Any suggestions would be a lot of help. Thanks.

We are looking for a new image cropper/thumbnailer/manipulator for this site. Currently we are just using the stuff in the JDK, java.awt.image.*, to scale (and soon crop) our images. What are the other options that we have for image manipulation, have you used any of them, and how would you say they compare to the awt stuff??

java CPU profilers

2004-05-17T20:38:32Z

I'm looking for a free or inexpsensive (< $200) java profiler.

A while back I was using Borland's Optimizeit. It's pricey, but it has a great CPU profiler. I tried using the free JMP profiler(http://www.khelekore.org/jmp/) but did not find it useful.

Here's the difference between OptimizeIT and JMP...

My program has a few hundred methods. A really simple profiler like JMP will tell me how much CPU time was spent in each method, so a high CPU time means that the method is inefficient *or* is being called too many times unnecessarily. But that info alone isn't useful enough. I need to know the exact method call path that is producing the inefficiency.

For example, Optimizeit would tell me: 23% of your CPU time was spent when method A called method B, which called method C, which called method D (giving the line number of each method call). This would enable me to see that although method D is computationally expensive, the root cause of the problem is that method B was calling method C too many times unnecessarily. I was able to speed things up dramatically by having method B cache the results of method C. The solution didn't involve method D at all.

I've found two lists of free Java profilers (http://www.manageability.org/blog/stuff/open-source-profilers-for-java and http://www.javaperformancetuning.com/resources.shtml), but those lists don't include recommendations from actual users. A lot of the entries on those lists look like pre-alpha software.

Can anyone recommend a java CPU profiler that they use and like, which can handle the situation I've described?

(BTW -- In case it matters, my development environment is jdk 1.4.2, JBoss 3.2.3 and Windows 2000.)

Has anyone tried Jetty

2004-04-25T19:07:00Z

I am upgrading my webservers and started looking at Jetty as a web server and app server.

http://jetty.mortbay.org/jetty/index.html

Has anyone used this server yet. I have seen that it handles the Java servlet interface different from the JWS i have been using. Has anyone tested this server with their servlets?

reliable IDE integration with a remote Tomcat installation

2004-04-19T15:57:43Z

hopefully this isn't an incindiary question.
my team has been, for some months now, trying to move from using applications like Homesite and Dreamweaver to using something a bit more useful like Eclipse or Netbeans.
the number one drawback to this move is that even with their Tomcat plugins in place, they cannot interact with a remote server. we'd really like to avoid having to run Tomcat on our workstations if at all possible.
has anyone found something we're missing?

Hi,

Recently a plethora of proprietary and open-source web application development environments have become available. To name a few, we have Jakarta/Struts, Jakarta/Turbine, Enhydra/Barracuda, the list goes on. I am wondering if anyone out there has used any of these packages, or can shed some light on the benefits of your favorite package.

How to set Java HotSpot Server VM for Linux

2004-02-29T19:52:45Z

Hi,

I have a Java application running on JBoss 3.0.0 on Linux 7.3. When I run comman java -version

I get the following :

Java TM runtime Environement Standard Edition <build 1.4.1_01-b01
Java Hotspot <TM> Client VM Build 1.4.1_01-b01 <mixed mode>

From Sun Java site, I understand that for long running server tasks we need to use -server flag. When I try java -server command and check the version again, it still shows the client VM as above.

Can someone please clarify this issue (whether we really must have java - server option for JBoss/EJB based application). If yes, how d o we set it?? (I think a separate download as par tof JVM is not reuired.)

Regards,

Voice Recognition Dev

2004-02-20T00:58:41Z

Has anyone here any experience in voice recognition software development or more specifically the interpretation of an audio stream?

I'm trying to 'fingerprint' an audio file (or 30,000 of the buggers) with a view to spotting/isolating and killing duplicates.

So far, I'm extracting frames from the mp3 as an array of bytes representing a packet. I'm capturing the first 100 frames (fortunately the ID3 tags are held at the end of the file), building a fingerprint and comparing that fingerprint with the other files fingerprints.

This is working well for the most part but there's a problem.

the fingerprints are in the form of:

bitrate|songlength|samplerate|1sthundredframes

|128|154|44100|-1.-5.-112.108.0.0.0.103.2.78.112.1.0.2.0.0.9.80.0.0...
|160|154|44100|-1.-5.-96.64.0.0.0.0.0.55.-123.0.0.0.0.0.6.-16.-96.0...
|160|154|44100|-1.-5.-96.64.0.0.0.0.0.55.-123.0.0.0.0.0.6.-16.-96.0...

The above is three separate song files all of the same track from different sources. As you can see, the latter two, both encoded at 160 are spotted as duplicates even though the file names and ID3 tags are different (which is why i can't use a checksum)

The problem comes when two songs of the same track are encoded at differing bitrates. the same song encoded at 128 and 160 will 'sound' the same (well -ish anyway) but as far as the frames are concerned, they are completely different.

So this got me thinking about voice recognition and the way that it interprets the audio stream.

Any bright sparks out there got a suggestion?

design patterns?

2004-02-13T10:18:21Z

Does anyone know of a leight-weight, easy to read book (or site) on design patterns in Java? I'm painfully trying to sift through a couple of UML books that address patterns, but I feel that I could benefit from something a bit more hands-on, more practical. The Perl Cookbook comes to mind... Anyone, anyone?

collections

2004-01-09T01:33:11Z

Any had much experience writing your own collections. I've had an epiphany which basically makes me think that things like HashMap and ArrayList are fine examples of classes that implement the various collections interfaces, and are ok for general work, but are pretty inferior for most applications. It seems that if you the type or super-class/interface of you data items, or if you know your key type, etc... you can roll your own collections objects that are WAY faster.

Am I on crack, or I am just late to the party that everyone's been at for years?

What are you working on?

2003-12-14T09:35:16Z

Hey,

I was just wondering what everyone is working on? Are you all into J2EE/Webapps or are there still some "traditional" applications beeing made out there? ;)

I've got some experience in webapps with Struts (http://jakarta.apache.org/struts), and currently doing some testing of Hibernate (http://www.hibernate.org), no way I'm doing persistence myself next project. ;) This is really just by interest, but for my master thesis I'm working with J2ME and Bluetooth.

Just curious. :)
