I have been trying some simple JSP connections to a MS-SQL table. I wrote one that reads from a test database and table that I set up and it works. I am now trying to write some simple code to use a form to fill in information and have this post to the table. Upon compile I get the following error: cannot resolve symbol symbol : variable Name location: class org.apache.jsp.testpost1_jsp ps.setString(1, Name); ^ I also get the same error for my other ps.setString line. I know that I am connecting to the database, if I put " around the variables (ie. ps.setString(1, "Name");) it posts Name and Email to the database just fine. So my problem appears to be with my variables, but I am not sure what. I am just learning..

Yes, you would have to override the other methods and make them synchronized. But that was not my point. The point was to encapsulate a series of operations into one method, so that the method can handle the threadsafety issues, rather than the client. ========================================================================== TOPIC: Sort Array Problem http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.java.programmer/browse_thread/thread/cc8b01c6cee7f666 ========================================================================== == 1 of 1 == Date: Wed, Sep 15 2004 1:01 pm From: Carl Howells <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Babu Kalakrishnan wrote: > public int compare(Object o1, Object o2) > { > Integer a1 = (Integer)o1; > Integer a2 = (Integer)o2; > return a1.intValue()-a2.intValue(); // for reverse sort > } > > Note the simplification in the last line.

Well, you were so close to being correct. You understood her fundamental problem much better than anyone else who posted did. But that above advice is simply wrong. What happens when that compare is called on these objects? Integer i1 = new Integer(2147483647); Integer i2 = new Integer(-2147483646); Assuming the comparator instance is "comp", comp.compare(i1, i2) returns -3. Last I checked, i1 is not the smaller value there. ========================================================================== TOPIC: Indefinite for loop syntax question http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.java.programmer/browse_thread/thread/6fb2ebeb7cfb92a9 ========================================================================== == 1 of 3 == Date: Wed, Sep 15 2004 1:19 pm From: Jim Cochrane <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In article <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Jenny wrote: > Hi, > > I read somewhere that a for loop can have a form for ( ; ; ){...}.

Here's a cleaner version that does the same thing, except with an added print for clarity: public class Ball { public static void main(String[] args){ for ( ; ; ) { int j =0; j++; if (j > 1) { System.out.println("j is " + j); break; } //line a System.out.println("j be " + j); //line b } } } > 1. Could you tell me why after j becomes 1, it jump to line a? It doesn't - after finding "if (j > 1)" false (j is 1) it steps to line b. There is no jump involved. > 2. Could you tell me why after line a, it jump to line int j =0;? After line b, the next iteration of the for loop begins, the first line of which is "int j =0;". Your loop will never terminate, of course, because the only exit point is the break statement, which will never be executed because j will never become > 1. > 3. How could one use for ( ; ; ){...} in a real app? The same way one would use "while (true) { ... }". By the way, the following code behaves exactly the same as the above code: public class Ball2 { public static void main(String[] args){ int j; for ( ; ; ) { j =0; j++; if (j>1) { System.out.println("j is " + j); break; } //line a System.out.println("j be " + j); } } } -- Jim Cochrane; [EMAIL PROTECTED] [When responding by email, include the term non-spam in the subject line to get through my spam filter.] == 2 of 3 == Date: Wed, Sep 15 2004 1:33 pm From: "Boudewijn Dijkstra" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Michael Borgwardt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> schreef in bericht news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Jenny wrote: > > I read somewhere that a for loop can have a form for ( ; ; ){...}.

I seem to recall that there was a C compiler which generated more efficient code for for(;;) than while(1) Whether it's true or not should not matter to Java programmers. ========================================================================== TOPIC: EJB: ONE query for multiple rows http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.java.programmer/browse_thread/thread/38eb46fdf71c702c ========================================================================== == 1 of 1 == Date: Wed, Sep 15 2004 1:29 pm From: Timo Nentwig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sudsy wrote: > What happens when you use a ResultSet?

It is ONE query that the database does process; setFetchsize() is only about not holding all the data concurrently in RAM.

Not without using JNI, no. After all, java is supposed to be platform-independent, and such mechanisms vary wildly between different operating Systems. Some might not even know the concept of users. == 3 of 3 == Date: Wed, Sep 15 2004 3:39 pm From: "Matt Humphrey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Rebecca" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Does anyone know if it is possible if you are running a java app as > root, to fire up another java process as a different user?

This is a definite hack. But, this hack does work for my case and I can now use a Linksys WML11B wireless music device to read stream besides MP3. I've only tested this under Linux so far. Let me know if anyone finds this useful. Beside Linksys, it may also work with other devices that can only read MP3 streams (netgear, homepod, d-link, aireo, soundblaster, etc.); so if anyone has one, I'd be interested in your results. This is more of a hack, I'd much rather prefer to a pure java solution to this, so if anyone runs across or knows of a Java implementation similar to mplayer and lame, I'd like to give it a try and replace these native calls.
