Can someone help?

I got several test results back.
The program runs find on W98, XP2, Linux (RedHat7.1), we get the correct dates. But when we run it on Solaris 2.6 / Java 1.1 the formater.format(rightNow) distorts the date.

This is the test result from a Solaris box:
$ java -classpath . Test3
1. The time is: Mon Nov 01 14:16:31 GMT+08:00 2004
2. The time is: Mon Nov 01 14:16:31 GMT+08:00 2004
3. The current time: 31-10-2004 22:16:31 PST

Hi, just when I think I understand how to format dates as strings.
Why is there a big difference between the date-time after formatting the date?
I'm running this on Solaris 6.
[code]
int ONE_HOUR = 1*1000*60*60;
SimpleTimeZone LocalTimeZone = new SimpleTimeZone(8*ONE_HOUR, "GMT+08:00");
TimeZone.setDefault(LocalTimeZone );

out.println("1. The time is: " + new Date()); // this displays the correct date time
while(someConditionIsTrue)
{
String sDate="";
Date rightNow = null;
SimpleDateFormat formatter=null;
formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss"); // seems innocent enough...

rightNow = new Date(); // gives me the correct date-time
out.println("2. The time is: " + rightNow); //this works, shows correct local time

sDate = formatter.format(rightNow); // converting to string, this does not work, -15 hours difference
out.println("3. The current time: "+ sDate ); // bad date-time
[code]

Hi, I've a rather perplexing situation.
My Java program has a loop which tests whether a file exists on Linux and if it does, then ftp the file back from Linux to WindowsXP(sp2).
The problem is, if the file does not exist on Linux, ft creates a zero length file on XP which is misleading to XP and must be deleted. However we cannot delete it because ftp seems to have locked the file.
Following is stub code for the loop:

And this is the code which ftps the GetOK test file back from Linux:

Here is the method for executing the ftp, the ftp commands are in a text file

Here is the ftp commands in the text file

This generates the runtime error:
java.io.IOExceptiob: Bad file descriptor
.....at java.io.FileInputStream.available(Native Method)
.....at UseFTP.GetOK(UseFTP.java:552)
.....at UseFTP.Initialize(UseFTP.java:127)
.....at UseFTP.<init>(UseFTP:30)
.....at GetFiles.main(GetFiles.java:32)

The odd thing is when I crash out of the program UseFTP with a CTRL-C, the proper OKFile is ftp-ed back from Linux, overwriting the dud, zero length, OKFile created by ftp.
Any help greatly appreciated.

I forgot to add:

We set the LD_CLASS_PATH to /opt/oracle/product/v734/jdbc/lib

Hi, I've used following Oracle connection on Ora8 and Ora9i and it has always worked for me:
myJavaProgram.java


But when I try to recompile the same code on Oracle 7.3.4 using an the command line class path

javac -verbose -classpath .:/opt/oracle/product/v473/jdbc/lib/classes111.zip:/path/to/other/java/stuff myJavaProgram.java

I get this compile time error message
[code]
myJavaProgram.java:206: class oracle.java.OracleDriver not found in type declaration
DriverManager.registerDriver(new Ooracle.jdbc.OracleDriver());
.............................................^
1 error
[code]

Using the verbose option, I found that javac expanded classes111.zip which included the DriverManager class.
What have I done wrong and how do I make it work?

THANKS !

Error in command $myCPlusProg rawInputFile.in parsedOutputFile.out > aLogFile.log

java.lang.NullPointerException at deltrdlck.main(Compiled Code)

I was researching this and it seems that Runtime.exec() is rather limited and cannot do a unix redirect.

Why doesn't this C++ program execute in my code?
I've got an old C++ program (not from me) which takes 2 parameters: an ascii rawInputFile.in input file and parsedOutputFile.out which contains the cleansed data from the raw inputfile.
If I run the Solaris C++ program like this, it works:
Solaris#> $myCPlusProg rawInputFile.in parsedOutputFile.out > aLogFile.log
But if I embed it in Java as follows, throws following exception:
java.lang.NullPointerException at testdeltrdlck.main(Compiled code)
