On the client side all you have to do is to make sure that postgresql.jar is
in your classpath.
Then use code like this to connect:

  try {
 Class.forName(driver);
  } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
 Error.error("ClassNotFoundException: " + e.getMessage());
  }
  try {
 connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url,login,password);
  } catch (SQLException ex) {
 Error.error(ex.getMessage());
  }

where driver = "postgresql.Driver";
and  url = ""jdbc:postgresql://host:5432/database";

where host is the name of the host you are connecting to and database the
name of the postgresql database that you want to access.

For more info on how to connect see the postgresql JDBC driver page at
http://www.retep.org.uk/postgres/

RMI on Linux

1999-08-04 Thread praks

Hi,

Somehow i have got RMI based server running but without RMISecurityManager
installed from the server (prg).
Still i don't understand why after installing RMISecurityManager from the
program, it (prg) used to throw Exceptions saying permission denied which
it doesn't throw now after commenting that part of installing
RMISecurityManager.

Anyway i have got server app running!

Now the problem is that client throws exception in Naming.lookup() call
saying ClassName_Stub ClassNotFoundException. Appended is the output..

before this - the client prg is able to print the list of remoteObjects
on the remoteHost.

ComputePi exception: error unmarshalling return; nested exception is: 
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: engine.ComputeEngine_Stub
java.rmi.UnmarshalException: error unmarshalling return; nested exception is: 
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: engine.ComputeEngine_Stub
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: engine.ComputeEngine_Stub
at java.io.ObjectInputStream.inputObject(Compiled Code)
at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readObject(Compiled Code)
at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readObject(Compiled Code)
at sun.rmi.registry.RegistryImpl_Stub.lookup(Compiled Code)
at java.rmi.Naming.lookup(Compiled Code)
at client.ComputePi.main(Compiled Code)

Any suggestion will be helpful.

thanx,

..praks

Calling Same native method more than once.

1999-08-04 Thread Nagaraj S.B

Hi all,
I am facing problem in calling a native method more than once in java.
The native method('C') basically implements socket part to collect some
data from other machine.
JDK 1.2pre-v2 (glibc2.1), Linux : RedHat6.0.
It gives the correct value once, but for the second time it is called,
it  core dumps with following error.
Any Help/Suggestions are most welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Nagaraj S.B.

I don't believe there are any free .MPEG, .avi, or .vivo players
available (mtv has the annoying "register" popup all the time).  A
Java class to do this would be really slick.  Also, I don't think
there are any open source Java classes to load .tiff or .pnm formats.

A *real* hard project is to develop a class to load postscript format
files.

You would 1st need to find out exactly what the formats are.  I don't
know where to find the format specifications for .MPEG, .avi, .vivo,
.tiff or .pnm, but they must be somewhere on the web.  Postscript
specs are probably available on the web too and I know there are books
specifying its format.  Perhaps someone knows of a good book with all
the specs?

rmiregistry can't find _stub and _skel (also needs the interfaces for your
remoteables) in it's classpath.

take a look over the RMI tutorial at javasoft, both of these are in there.

This seems like a perfect opportunity for me to make a blatant appeal
to this list. I realise this is off topic, so please accept my apologies for
that, but I believe that most of you might be interested by its contents ;)

The Aglet Community requests your support. 

The Aglet Software Development Kit is a Java framework for researching and developing
mobile agents and distributed systems. It was one of the first of its kind 
available in the world, and is still a leader in its field in terms of technology.
Recently though, there are rumours that IBM might discontinue the project and
shelve the technology. This would be a great loss to the growing Aglet community and
the mobile code world in general.

We are asking for your help in convincing IBM that Aglets should live on, as an
Open Source project. It is ideal for this, with the community already developing
and releasing OSS updates and packages for the framework.

You can help us by signing our petition and registering your support. Even if
you don't know anything about Aglets, you can still help! We need as many
people to sign as possible. The home page of the petition can be found at:

Hello Gilles,

Look at
http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux/jdk1.2-status/known-bugs.html

Permission on *.ttf 
 The release packaging system didn't make the TrueType fonts
 world readable. If you install the JDK as yourself, no problem.
 If you install it as root, but are in the group that root is
 running when you install it, no problem. If neigther of
 these cases is true, then you need to make the files world
 readable in jre/lib/fonts 
 

Hope that this solve your problem.

Parsing date strings in 1.2.2

Hi Gang:

I have been parsing date strings (such as 4-Aug-1999) under JDK1.1.6
using the DateFormat "parse" method. When I switched to 1.2.2 I keep getting

"ParseException:Unparseable date:"4-Aug-1999"

Is this a bug in 1.2.2 or have I left something out. I have scanned the
FAQs and come up dry. Has anyone seen this before?

As far as I remember I just grabbed it from Sun, unpacked it and it

think you will need any advice on it, just try it 8^).

LinuxPPC/jdk116_v5/jdk117_v1a

1999-08-04 Thread Brad Macpherson

G'day

I've been running Blackdown JDK 1.1.7 v1a on LinuxPPC 4.0 (RedHat 5.2
libraries) and recently upgraded to LinuxPPC 1999 (RedHat 6.0). Java has fallen
in a screaming heap - I tried downloading JDK 1.1.6 v5 in case it was a problem
with 1.1.7 being an alpha release, but no dice. I'm running glibc-2.1.1-6c
(plus the devel and profile versions) if that's any help. The message that I
get from java is 'Segmentation fault'. When I run appletviewer or javac I get
the following (from javac):

/usr/java/jdk116_v5/bin/ppc/green_threads/javac: line 19:  1613
Segmentation fault  `dirname $0`/${progname} $RUNTIME_ARGS -ms8m
$RUNTIME_ARGS sun.tools.javac.Main $APP_ARGS

I checked out the $JAVA_HOME/lib/ppc/green_threads directory - there are no
libdl.so or libc.so files in sight.

If you need any more info (ldconfig etc) please let me know.

Thankyou and - help!

Re: How can I help?

1999-08-04 Thread Larry Gates


Here's another "project" that should be easy with Java, yet very 
much needed (at least by me, unless someone knows of a good
alternative to Ncftp):

I've always wanted a GUI driven FTP program just like CuteFTP for windows98.

I have my hard drive partitioned for windows98 + Linux.  When I need
to download my experimental data from our Sparc II (SunOs) computer,
it typically consists of about 7000 files totalling 200MB of data.  I
ALWAYS reboot to windows98 to transfer this because Ncftp (or regular
Linux ftp) will give an "Arguments too long" error when I transfer with the
command mget *.*.  (It must be expanding the wildcard and
can't handle the load of 7000 arguments...).  Another piss-off from
Ncftp is it will sometimes hang during mid-transfer with a 
"
Error: Remote host has closed the connection.
(Interrupt the program again to kill program.)
"

With CuteFTP, you can select which files you want (I've even selected
over 10,000 files at once before), start the transfer and go for lunch
(or whatever), when you return, its done without any complaints or
excuses.  I've NEVER had it fail.  This is what I want from the Linux end.

So, I think the Linux community needs a better, GUI driven FTP
program in the style of CuteFTP.  Java is well suited to develop this.

I'll take it when it is available.

Re: LinuxPPC/jdk116_v5/jdk117_v1a

1999-08-04 Thread Thomas M. Sasala


LinuxPPC 1999 is a glibc 2.1 release; all JDK releases
are not compatible with this particular release (in the PPC world).
However, on the CDROM you will find a test version of jdk1.2prev1.
I have not tried it, but it is rumored to work

Re: No more text in jdk1.2pre-v2 widgets

1999-08-04 Thread Doug Fort

I experienced this when I installed as root, and didn't have permission to read
the JRE .../fonts directory.  There is a similar probelm with the JIT compiler
and .../bin.

This is in the known bugs list for earlier releases.

RE: PostgreSQL and JAVA

1999-08-04 Thread Alex001

Go to http://www.retep.org.uk/postgres/ and dowload the JAR file for the version of 
Postgres that you are using. They seem to be pretty much compatible with each other.  
There are also some PDF files which you can download. This should take you through. 

If you still lost, have a look at the following sample : 

String dbUrl = "jdbc:postgresql://"+host+"/tour";
Class.forName("postgresql.Driver");
c = DriverManager.getConnection(dbUrl, "tour", "");
s=c.createStatement();
rback=s.executeQuery("Select username,level from users where 
(userid='"+userid.getSelectedItem()+"' and password='"+password.getText()+"')");
r="";
while (rback.next())
{
r=rback.getString("username");
l=rback.getInt("level");
options.sign=r;
options.level=l;
}
c.close();
