That's fine, my objective is to be browser-independent, not OS-independent

Hi,

I have a web application that processes events and audio received from a specialised microphone. The audio is processed by a Java applet that runs in the web page, but other events (microphone connected, microphone disconnected, microphone button pressed) are handled by an ActiveX object.

The ActiveX object traps these events and calls JavaScript code to handle them

Of course a problem with this approach is that it's completely IE dependent. I would prefer to load the ActiveX object within the applet, trap the events there and handle the events either within the applet, or JavaScript code called from the applet. This should then enable me to run the app in any browser that supports applets.

I'm not entirely sure how to go about implementing the solution I've proposed above - I guess I'll need some sort of Java-ActiveX bridge? If anyone can suggest how I might implement this, or propose an alternative solution, I'd be very grateful.

Thanks in advance,
Dan

Hi,

What is the best way to convert either a Writer or an OutputStream to either a Reader or an InputStream? Just to be clear, what I`m looking for is the most efficient way to do *any one* of the following (not *all* of them):

- OutputStream => Reader
- OutputStream => InputStream
- Writer => Reader
- Writer => InputStream

Thanks in advance,
Don

Hi,

I have a class that defines the names of various session attributes, e.g.


I would like to use these constants within a JSP to test for the presence of these attributes, something like:



But I can't seem to get the sytax correct. Also, to avoid repeating the rather lengthy tests above in multiple places, I'd like to assign the result to a local (page-scoped) variable, and refer to that instead. I believe I can do this with <c:set>, but again I'm struggling to find the correct syntax.

Cheers,

JSP
Hi,

I have a URL in which the parameter values are unencoded, e.g.

http://groceryguide.com?gs=Bad Value

I need to change this to:

http://groceryguide.com?gs=Bad%20Value

Notice that I can't simply pass the whole string to URLEncoder.encode() because I only want to encode the parameter values. Is there a library available that can do this for me?

Cheers,
Dan

ps.setInt(1,iVariable2);
ps.setInt(1,iVariable3);



That won't work because each time I execute the PreparedStatement the list could have a different number of elements, so I can't simply define a '?' parameter for each item in the SQL string.

Hi,

I want to use a prepared statement to execute some SQL like



The actual list of ages will vary from one execution to the next, so the SQL string contains a parameter:



However there doesn't appear to be any method defined on PreparedStatement for setting a parameter to a list of values. Although there is a setArray() method, the array in question is of type java.sql.Array, and I've no idea how to create one of these from a "regular" Java array or Collection.

Any suggestions?

Dan

Thanks for the suggestions. I should have mentioned that I'm looking for a generified Set that prohibits nulls, so given that extra requirement, the Apache commons implementation is unsuitable.

Here's a tutorial that should set you on the right path: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/2d/printing/index.html

Hi,

I've been looking through the implementations of the Set interface available in JDK 5 and can't find any that prohibits null values. Does such an implementation exist?

Thanks,

Yes, the correct functioning of my program depends on these codes, whereas the contract of toString() indicates that the value returned by this method is "for a person to read". Therefore it should be possible be to change the value returned by toString() without breaking anything, which is why I prefer to use the value returned by toString() for logging/debugging purposes only.

More specifically, if I were to use the built-in toString() and valueOf() methods, then my program would no longer work after renaming an element from say YAHOO_MESSENGER to YAHOO_MGR.

Hi,

I have a large number of Enums that implement this interface:



A typical example is:



As you can imagine these methods are virtually identical in all implementations of CodableEnum. I would like to eliminate this duplication, but frankly don't know how. I tried using a class such as the following



But this turns out to be fairly useless because:

1. An enum cannot extend a class
2. Elements of an enum (SKYPE, GOOGLE_TALK, etc.) cannot extend a class
3. I cannot provide a default implementation of getByCode(), because DefaultCodableEnum is not itself an Enum. I tried changing DefaultCodableEnum to extend java.lang.Enum, but this doesn't appear to be allowed.

Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dan Murphy

Hi,

I have a generic class, which has a single type parameter, T. Within a method of this class is it possible for me to instantiate a new instance of T (calling the default constructor), without using reflection?
