I found good place on the net, where you find real Java examples grouped by Java APIs.
Just choose Java technology, package and class and you get all examples for that class. I use it often, when I am programming, when I need working example .
here is http://javafaq.nu/java-example.html

Before I found a lot of sites with source code from different Java projects. Java classes there often very complicated and those highligted examples are really useless,
but here all examples are short and really illustrate a matter what I am looking for.

I would like to add smth. more to the last message.
"Heavyweight" means that component is not written in pure java and uses native to current OS code. Swing generally consist of "lightweight" components, written in Java only.
But still extends AWT adn container classes, for example JFrame has a native code. and Applet class also..
It is not good practice to mix different components in one application. For example labels can be sometime visible on many tabs instead of one and so on...

now really four free books: I added "Swing" ~800 pages and
"Introduction to Programming Using Java". The book and example code are downloadable.

Hi!
I hope it isn't spam, just answer to question.
The huge (~800 pages) "Swing" book of Matthew Robinson and Pavel Vorbiev is
online now on my site and u can also download it to read at home. All examples to this book also included.

In API for java.lang.Class is written:
"There is no public constructor for the class Class. Class objects are constructed automatically by the Java Virtual Machine as classes are loaded and by calls to the defineClass method in the class loader.
The following example uses a Class object to print the Class name of an object:

void printClassName(Object obj) {
System.out.println("The class of " + obj +
" is " + obj.getClass().getName());
}
"
that is a reason why you have this error(no constructor) Try another way..

I have just three links for searching of job on my site but one of them helped to my friend and he is working together with me at Ericsson... IP network programming. He found it over Bakos. They helped him to correct and improve his resume (he is Russian and doesn't write in English perfectly...) for free!

and also don't forget about firewalls!
With sockets it is very difficult to create apllication which will easy work in any network. You need to ask administrator to open some ports to make a connection. But with HTTP it is no problem on most intranets!

Hi!
I described some mechanism for checking of network connection and keeping it alive in reply to Rick in thread "Thread on Socket?" It doesn't cause performance bottleneck and network flood... Absolutelly!
And did you try to socket.setSoTimeout(0). "0" for unlimited connection?

Hi Rick!
I was working with this problem more than one year. At my job we were migrating some GSM staff to TCP/IP network. And finally we concluded that the bestest way to monitor the connection is to send "heartbeats" each other. Heartbeat is just 2 bytes message: 1st byte is header ("I am heartbeat") and second any value you agreed in you connection protocol.
Server sends to client, client sends to server. Lets say once per 2-5 minutes.
You should have timeout timer. If heartbeat doesn't in 5 minutes you are writting it and after n times of absence of heartbeats you closes connection (the threshold for quantity of missing heartbeats (3-10)).
This was the bestest way to be sure that servers are working and connection still alive. Because we met situation when server hanging in some state and keeps connection open but doesn't work and client thinks it is Ok. But is not.
Here the values for heartbeat (every 2-5 minutes) and threshhold for missing hearbeats 3-10 are taken from real life.
I hope I described this clear and it will help you (ask if ...)
