Many people ask about how their shift from Java to SAP will become, but never care to come back and share their experience.

I actually wanted to open a url in the default browser when I click a JLabel

I am getting the toString() method return an exponential value for most values in a Jtable column whose column type needs to be a String.class

But the same toString() being set to a JSONObject to display over a jsp works fine !!!

Could I be missing on something?

I forgot to add that I cannot use the toPlainString() as I am on 1.4

Just a thought..will it be nice if we give points / ratings for answers in posts like the curl developer forum..

Thanks much Maneesh, I could open the file using the above code.

I have seen the same code somewhere else but was not sure if this was the right way of openning a file through swing.

Anyways, thanks for the help.

Unfortunately, my client requires the project to be run on 5.0. Any other go?

I have used the com.lowagie API to create a .pdf file in the workspace. How can I open it up in the acrobat reader and show to the user who is inside a swing application?

Exactly Tim. Both the files are on the D drive. But I am able to read the db-schema but not the db-data alone.

database-write:

I tried deleting the contents of the db-data.xml and then running the script, but still !

Thanks all for the info..I have not got any urls specifically like D:\

Might be I have to give my database url or the outputFile diffrently?

Here is my build file..


<project> <path id="classpath"> <fileset dir="lib"> <include name="**/*.jar" /> <include name="**/*.zip" /> </fileset> </path> <target name="database-dump" description="Dumps the database structure"> <taskdef name="databaseToDdl" classname="org.apache.ddlutils.task.DatabaseToDdlTask"> <classpath refid="classpath" /> </taskdef> <databaseToDdl modelName="MySQLModel"> <database url="jdbc:sqlserver://111.11.11.111:1110;databaseName=db01" driverClassName="com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver" username="user" password="pass" /> <writeSchemaToFile outputFile="db-schema.xml" /> <writeDataToFile outputFile="db-data.xml" /> </databaseToDdl> </target> <target name="database-write" description="Creates db and loads data" > <taskdef name="ddlToDatabase" classname="org.apache.ddlutils.task.DdlToDatabaseTask"> <classpath refid="classpath" /> </taskdef> <ddlToDatabase schemaFile="db-schema.xml"> <database url="jdbc:derby:src/DerbyDB" driverClassName="org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver" username="admin" password="password" /> <createDatabase failonerror="false" /> <writeSchemaToDatabase /> <writeDataToDatabase datafile="db-data.xml" /> </ddlToDatabase> </target> </project>

But one thing I cant figure out is why this builds fine when I run it through the ant console manually and not this way.

Thanks much Ulf. This defenitely helped.

But I do not know why I am getting a

BUILD FAILED
D:\Workspaces\SSDownload\SS Download\src\ddlutils-ant-build.xml:27: Could not parse or write data file D:\Workspaces\SSDownload\SS Download\src\db-data.xml

due to

org.apache.ddlutils.DdlUtilsException: java.net.MalformedURLException: unknown protocol: d
at org.apache.ddlutils.io.DatabaseDataIO.writeDataToDatabase(DatabaseDataIO.java:730)

This error I do not get running the build file directly!!! I am trying to migrate a database using the DDLUtils API inside the ant build file. Any tips?

Hi..

I wanted to execute an ant build file from java code using the org.apache.tools.ant.Project APIs.. Even though I was able to run the ant script successfully through the ant perspective of the IDE, I am getting error calling the script from java.. Not much information is available in using Project project = new Project(); project.init();..

Could anyone help me find more information in calling an ant build file from java code?

Thanks,
Thomas

How do we give hyperlinks in swing? Like the <a / rel="nofollow"> in html (anchor tag).

Thanks much Scott. How exactly we can create a file of SQL from the metadata? Do we have any code sample over the net anywhere?

Is there any java utility to programmatically copy a database to another (say from sqlserver to derby)? I found org.apache.ddlutils but it suggests using ant. I wanted to do it programmatically using java. Any idea is helpful
