You might want to look at commercial products like J-Integra and JNIWrapper (Google should find both for you). There may well be other commercial offerings, and I know that there are some free alternatives too (but can't remember any names). If neither of the above suits your needs, and if you can't find anything better, then you can create your own. To do that is conceptually simple, although I suspect the details would be messy. You need: (1) to learn how to program COM and ActiveX in C or C++. (2) to learn how to use Java's facility for calling C/C++ code, which is called JNI. (3) to put the two together. (2) and (3) are probably easier than (1), but I can't say for sure since I don't do COM. Also (3) might be tricky -- or even difficult -- if you want to mix visual ActiveX controls with Swing components. -- chris ============================================================================== TOPIC: Auto submit Struts form every 'n seconds http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.java.programmer/browse_thread/thread/5f1db635d5081dd3 ============================================================================== == 1 of 1 == Date: Mon, Dec 6 2004 10:41 am From: "Nate" I don't think stuts has any built-in functionality for this, but you could easily implement this using Javascript on your jsp (that your struts form is using). ============================================================================== TOPIC: JavaMail - SMTP - Exchange Server Authentication http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.java.programmer/browse_thread/thread/e33c67570bd15c77 ============================================================================== == 1 of 1 == Date: Tues, Dec 7 2004 2:54 am From: Rico A principle to bear in mind no matter how frustrated one might feel: when the problem seems to have reached the most complex extremity, it's time to approach it from the other end of the spectrum.

The problem Michael was pointing to is that a Pentium 3 (or IV) cannot even address enough memory to handle distinct Strings (of any content, including empty) for all 64 million positions of the array the OP presented. There is no OS magic for addressing larger memory than the supported address space of the processor, even ignoring such piddling questions as limits on the size of supported memory-mapped blocks (64MB in some common implementations -- barely more than enough for 64 million undelimited one-character strings). > I think Linux has some kernel function for allocating memory clear or > initialized with the over-write bits.

Java specifies how the contents of new arrays are to be initialized. It is the JVM's job to handle the details, and a quality JVM implementation will make use of available features of the platform to do so as efficiently as possible while remaining within the constraints of allowable behavior.

Since I haven't interviewed for a job in over 15 years, I'm curious to know what kind of coding test typically would be used for a Java position. Are the interviewers interested in your ability to write good code in a timely fashion using the tools of your choice (or similar), or are they interested in whether you've memorized every class and every method signature in the standard libraries and can crank out code in Notepad?

I can't recall ever taking or administering a coding test as such. I've been asked for samples of code I'd already written, I've been asked coding-related questions like "What's a coroutine?", and once very long ago I was given a "programming aptitude test." But I've never been asked to sit down and code something, nor have I asked any interviewee to do so when I was hiring. The problem is time. Anything that can be coded from scratch in ten or fifteen minutes is going to be pretty simple, certainly far short of the degree of difficulty attached to the prospective job. Discovering that somebody knows how to code a Heapsort or doesn't know how to code a Gaussian elimination doesn't really tell you all that much. Yes, you'll weed out the outright liars who claim to be experts and truly know nothing at all, but I hope you have more efficient ways of accomplishing that task -- the poseurs ought never even to get an interview. But fashions change, and I haven't been on either end of the hiring process for some years; maybe tests are now in vogue, despite their shortcomings. Personally, I used to prefer asking the interviewee what projects he'd worked on and then drilling down on a few of them: "That sounds disk- intensive; were there performance problems? How did you attack them? What gains did you get? In retrospect, could they have been avoided with a different architecture? How did the problems you struggled with on Project X influence your design and coding decisions on the subsequent Project Y?" I felt this gave me a better idea of the person's potential to be helpful than would any number of prime finders. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ============================================================================== TOPIC: "static" prefix - to parallel "this" prefix http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.java.programmer/browse_thread/thread/f5dde10882ac2157 ============================================================================== == 1 of 2 == Date: Mon, Dec 6 2004 9:02 pm From: Oscar kind Tim Tyler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've been playing with the Checkstyle "Require this" check. > > http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/config_coding.html#RequireThis > > This forces you to distinguish between local variables, > instance variables and static variables in you code - > buy using "this.var" for all instance variables and > "Classname.var" for all static variables.

No it does not. A static instance / method exists only in the class that defines it. Not in the subclasses. That the compiler resolves them anyway is IMHO a bug, even though it is convenient (i.e. syntactic sugar). Remember however, that a static method does not have an instance attached to it. It's just some random code, grouped with a class because it happens to look nice. For a static method, there is no instance, no class, etc. The only reason you are still "inside" a class is because of the scope of the block the definition happens to be in. It is of course possible to change all this, but this would create an enormous change in the underlying structure of the language. It's easier to create and market a new programming language than to fix the problems this would create. -- Oscar Kind http://home.hccnet.nl/okind/ Software Developer for contact information, see website PGP Key fingerprint: 91F3 6C72 F465 5E98 C246 61D9 2C32 8E24 097B B4E2 == 2 of 2 == Date: Mon, Dec 6 2004 8:21 pm From: Tim Tyler Oscar kind <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote or quoted: > Tim Tyler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I've been playing with the Checkstyle "Require this" check. > > > > http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/config_coding.html#RequireThis > > > > This forces you to distinguish between local variables, > > instance variables and static variables in you code - > > buy using "this.var" for all instance variables and > > "Classname.var" for all static variables.

[...] Actually the proposal would not break any existing code. FWIW, I would describe it as a rather cosmetic change. For instance it could be implemented quite effectively rather trivially using a preprocessor. The only things affected would be programs that automatically parse code - and they can be updated - as Tiger clearly demonstrated. -- __________ |im |yler http://timtyler.org/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Remove lock to reply. ============================================================================== TOPIC: HttpSession expired vs. invalidated http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.java.programmer/browse_thread/thread/dbbb2dba35e4659b ============================================================================== == 1 of 2 == Date: Mon, Dec 6 2004 2:05 pm From: "William Brogden" On 6 Dec 2004 07:26:53 -0800, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I have a session holding user data of an online survey.

The answer is simple, make your class that holds the survey results implement HttpSessionBindingListener - each instance will then be notified when it is being unbound from the session and it can then save the data itself. Bill == 2 of 2 == Date: Mon, Dec 6 2004 9:37 pm From: "Silvio Bierman" It is simple and obvious. You must create a single object that holds the session status including ALL your variables. It might even contain methods. Something like this: class SessionObject implements HttpSessionBindingListener { //all session state represented in private members public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req,,HttpServletResponse resp) { //handle get-response for this session } public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req,,HttpServletResponse resp) { //handle post-response for this session } public void valueBound(HttpSessionbindingEvent event) { //handle session-initialization } public void valueUnbound(HttpSessionbindingEvent event) { //handle session-cleanup } } Program your sessions through this class or something based on the same idea. In your servlet create the sessions as you already do, populating each session with EXACTLY ONE session object if it is a new session. For each existting session (and also for the newly created ones) use the session object to delegate the get/post messages to. Simple, clean and as efficient as it gets. Putting application properties in a session is not smart, simply put a session facade object in.

I am giving some thought to applying for some jobs that want people with Java and C++ experience. I have been writing Java for several years and am fluent enough that I don't have to post questions here very often. I have no real C++ experience and not much C experience for that matter. However, the core Java statements are "borrowed" from C and C++ has often been called "C with classes". It seems to me that it shouldn't take very long to get up to speed on C++ if I am already fluent with Java and have at least some knowledge of C. Then again, I understand that Java and C++ use classes a bit differently; for instance C++ allows multiple inheritance while Java allows only single inheritance but allows for multiple interfaces as compensation. I'm not sure how long it would take to get fluent with multiple inheritance after several years with Java. I'd be very curious to know how long it took people here who were fluent in Java to get fairly fluent in C++ if they started with approximately the same skills I have today. -- Rhino --- rhino1 AT sympatico DOT ca "There are two ways of constructing a software design.

Hoare == 2 of 2 == Date: Mon, Dec 6 2004 9:49 pm From: "FunkyKarma" I programmed in C++ 10+ years before programming in Java now for 5+ years. While I think the transition from being a good object oriented C++ programmer to Java was relatively easy, I don't think that going the other way will be quite as easy. What working with Java will hopefully bring to the table is practice in applying sound OO principles, and to some degree syntax. C++ and C provide a much bigger opportunity to hang yourself especially with pointer / direct memory manipulation. Also, you need to be very familiar with your machine architecture to be really good a debugger on a given platform. ============================================================================== TOPIC: looking for eclipse plugin for user management in RCP application http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.java.programmer/browse_thread/thread/dd7f8897a1463dc8 ============================================================================== == 1 of 1 == Date: Mon, Dec 6 2004 3:23 pm From: "Rhino" "Dominik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Hi, > > I'm about to develop a rich client platform application that needs a > role-based user management. > > - create/change/delete new users, > - setting permissions for access to resources, > - resolve permissions resulting from multiple and/or nested roles and > - storing this information in a database > > as these features are being used in many multi-user applications to > restrict access to funtions and/or data, i thought there might > allready exist an eclipse plugin providing this functionality. > > so if anyone knows of such a plugin, or can give me a hint where to > find one, i'd appreciate your posting. > Have you tried the Eclipse site, eclipse.org? I think they list many (or all) of the plugins available for Eclipse somewhere on the site. Alternatively, the eclipse newsgroups are bound to be helpful (assuming you can figure out which one to post to!).

I don't see any reason why EL code would not be executed in the jsp:included JSPs, but you should recognize that those JSPs will run within their own page contexts. That affects the scripting elements available to them and the disposition of scripting elements that they may create. Those issues are not relevant to JSP code included via <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- could they be the source of your problem? If not, then you will probably get more help if you provide a simple but *complete* example that exhibits the undesired behavior, along with a detailed description of the desired alternative.

This is true, but the previous poster does have a point. People's remuneration is *not* linked to how much they contribute to the company. It's just like any good old "dominance" social heirarchy - because actual contribution and value is downright impossible to quantify, you end up having a career ladder & pay scales, and all of a sudden they right conditions exist for something like the Peter principle to apply. He has another point which is that you are always paid less than you are really worth. Why? Because if everyone was paid what their contribution is really worth, the company would never make a profit. It's that simple. Anyway, ditching all the rhetoric, it boils down to this: There is a tradeoff. The tradeoff is *risk*. You may say that your employer is screwing you, but, the assumption is that a decent sized organisation is less likely to have to ditch you than you are to make a hash of your own start up. Not only that, but if things go belly up, in a big company, you're not likely to be personally liable for losses. Now, the reason the people at the top get paid loads is that (ostensibly!) they're meant to have the market and financial judgement to be able to chart a course for the company that keeps the numbers in the black and the employees employed and paid - and here's the point: if they *do* do that, then they're *worth* the (comparitively) large salaries they're paid. What really annoys me is when they screw it up or show obvious signs of having *no clue*, and *still* get paid that much. Anyways - practical advice: If you don't like being an "underpaid minion", then start up your own company, and see what the other side of the coin is like. Oh yeah, and be prepared to work 100 hour weeks for the next 4-5 years.
