I must start with a confession, I am a former Java programmer who has moved on to IT management
I am currently looking at how best to query MS AD and there are plenty of examples out there of how to query AD using MS tools and languages but wondered if there was a Java way to do it. Any pointers greatfully recieved.

Hi I'm new to servlets and have been studying them as part of my IT degree I take the exam on thursday 23rd May. The module is all about web programming. I have been making use of another Wrox book for my revision Professional Java Server Programming J2EE edition.
What extra does your book offer if I choose to extend my knowledge of servlets after my exams? Also Servlets and JSP's are closely related what does your book have to say about JSP's?
Thanks

Hi Richard congratulations. I am thinking of starting to follow the certification routes to improving my skills, Have you found that they have helped you in the job market or not?

Just for Interest.
There is an article on the sun site about rescue robots used at the World Trade Centre. From their experience they plan to replace Corba with RMI in their robots.

Thanks for that but the JComboBox does not have a setHorizontalAlignment method.
The combobox is made up of three components a comboboxbutton a CellRendererPane and a JTextField,
I have tried setting the margins for the JTextField and although this setting is set when I do println of the combobox it does not look any different.
More help please

Hi my vote for an IDE goes to Visual Cafe 4.5 though it too is very hungry for your system resources.
As for a plain editor I like Text Pad its simple quick and it works.

I am using a JComboBox populated with a Vector. I want the text to be inset from the left edge of the box, at the moment it is tight to the left hand edge for a JTextField I have used Insets
class FormJTextField extends JTextField
{
FormJTextField()
{
setFont( new Font( "Dialog", Font.BOLD, 16 ));
setMargin(new Insets(4, 4, 4, 4));
}
FormJTextField(String tipTxt)
{
setFont( new Font( "Dialog", Font.BOLD, 16 ));
setMargin(new Insets(4, 4, 4, 4));
setToolTipText(tipTxt);
}
}
how do I do this for a JComboBox?

I had some discussions with a Java trainer from Parity in the UK. Many people do use ide's for some things but at the end of the day most prgramming is still done in the humble text editor. I can definately recommend text pad from www.textpad.com try it out its a free download and its cheap to buy the full latest version.
I can see a good patriotic journalist agreeing to a GPS implant so that he could be the hiuman sacrifice in the bobing?
I don't think that Osam is really that stupid either. If he though the journalist had a bug he would probably get his henchmen to take him to some foreign embassey somwhere so that that would get bombed. Osama has no trouble sacrificing his men and the Americans have a history of accidentaly bombing their friends and allies.

I deleted your dupe post.

Hi Dave,
Who is your book aimed at? I am a final year degree student and am trying, with little success, to find patterns in an application I am designing for my final year project. I have bought the Shalloway and Trott book Design Patterns Explained and it has helped me a bit but I am still struglling with the concept and recognition of patterns in my design models. Will your book help me do you think?

Hi I am a student working on an application for my final year project. I am at the stage in my programming skills of understanding more than I can do! I have produced use cases and some class diagrams but am struggleing to understand how to find and use patterns in my design. I bought the Shalloway and Trott book and this has helped a bit but working on my own its hard to be sure if I have got something right or not. Are there any mentors out there who can guide novices like me into the world of pattern use?
