Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

I am using a simple LineBreakMeasurer example to wrap text, like the first example here.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/awt/font/LineBreakMeasurer.html

I noticed some lines, with certain fonts, return a negative getX() value. Is that supposed to happen or is it be a misbehaving font? From what I have read so far, I didn't think that value should be negative. So I am wondering if that is normal behavior.

TextLayout layout = measurer.nextLayout(wrappingWidth); layout.getBounds().getX();

First, I hope this is in the correct area.

I'm trying to interpret a post I found googling (last response).

I've worked through most of it. In summary I've passed an image through ColorQuantizer and ErrorDiffusion and now have a 'palette color image'. The part I'm stuck on is this step:

"Determine to what value in the palette color image a zero-valued pixel in the warped image was mapped.".

I'm not sure how to go about this. Sorry if this seems obvious, but I'm struggling with it (and lack of sleep). Can anyone give me a few hints?

TIA

Tony,

Thanks for taking the time to respond. Sorry for the cryptic question. I didn't have much information to go on but after reviewing the code I discovered out those classes were used to handle date and number formatting for a given locale. It took some researching but I figured out the classes I should be using are java.text.* plus java.util.Locale and TimeZone.

Problem solved. Phew ;-)

I've been reviewing some older apps that use sun.text.*, sun.text.resources.* According to the FAQ's sun.* packages should not be used. So what packages/classes should be used instead? I'm thinking java.text.* but its difficult to tell as there is deliberately no documentation on the sun.* packages.

Any help would be appreciated

Literal string values must be enclosed in single quotes. Otherwise, the database may assume the string is a column name. Try

Edit: added code tags

rs=st.executeQuery("select * from uin where NUM = '"+ UIN +"'");

Some IDE's provide "wizards" to help interationalize entire applications. The results are not always 100% accurate. But it is probably faster than doing it manually. You might check the documentation for your IDE or search for an IDE that includes this kind of tool.

Anyone?

Not sure if this is the right place for this question..

Can anyone recommend some good links detailing how java.net.Authenticator works with IIS? I've searched around and have only found the API and very general tutorials or articles like..
High-Level Network Programming
http://java.sun.com/features/2002/11/hilevel_network.html

and many un-answered questions..

Any intermediate level articles on java.net.Authenticator?

Correction: Default port should be 3306

When you say the mySQL driver, do you mean the MySQL Connector/J jar? Did you first verify that you connect to your database (named: "test") using the mySQL client and the username/password: test/test?


Try supplying the default port number (3306) in the url:

public final String url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test";

Don't quotes around the variable names here:

conn=DriverManager.getConnection("url","user","password");

Using quotes will pass in the word "url" instead of the url variable ("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test"). Use:

conn=DriverManager.getConnection(url,user,password);

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/filechooser.html

"By default, the list of user-choosable filters includes the Accept All filter, which lets the user see all non-hidden files. This example uses the following code to disable the Accept All filter:"

JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser(); .... fc.setAcceptAllFileFilterUsed(false);

Assuming the images are really included in the jar file, did you try using getResource?

URL url = this.getClass().getResource("yourImage.png"); Image img = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(url); ... or //where "img" is the package name ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(this.getClass().getResource("/img/yourImage.gif"));

See Loading Images Using getResource

Thank you so much! A working example was more than I expected. I know it needs testing but most importantly, the example really helped me understand what I was doing wrong with BufferedImage and Graphics2D. Thanks again.
