Java 1.1.6 can't add!

1998-09-04 Thread Steve Curry

I have installed JDK 1.1.6 on my RedHat 5.0 Linux box and when performing
mathmatical calculations in java I get incorrect results. Take for example
(float)14.39 I can do a basic System.out.println and it will print out on
the command line: 14.38999. What is wrong with my JDK 1.1.6? I am
new to Java so hopefully I'm just missing something small here.

RS232/Java

1998-09-04 Thread Jim Watson

Dear All,

I know that this question isn't really related to java/Linux but I could do
with a few pointers..

I'd like to write an application that sends and receives short ASCII text
strings using the com port on my PC, using RS232.  Could anybody point me
to any packages/existing source code that already does this so I can see
how to do it.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Steve,

It's a problem inherent to floating point computations. U may use the 
double datatype to increase precision. If you need arbitrary precision 
computations, u should use the Java Ultimate Math Package, written by 
the Utrecht University, Netherlands. It is available @:

   http://members.xoom.com/znerd/java/jump/

It's distributed under the GNU General Public Library License (hooray). 
Source code, whitepaper, javadocs etc. all available.

Meself happens to be the guy who wrote it. Let me know if you use and 
whether you like it. :-)

If you publish a library of  `packages' for other developers then it is a good

javacomm ioctl help

1998-09-04 Thread david . atkinson

I am trying to add hardware handshaking to the RXTX package and am
having lots of troubles with the java environment. I have a routine in C
that handles hardware handshaking without any problems. However,
incorporating this routine into java with JNI causes all sorts of
strange problem. i.e a call to tcgetattr works immediately after turning
h/w handshaking off, however when this routine is called again I get an
IO error on the tcgetattr call, just trying to read the damn status!
Somehow jumping fro the C code back into java and back again stuffs up
the port somehow. Anyone have any ideas 

What the hell does the java do to the machine since I can't even open a
port non_blocking under java!!

Also, does any one know where I can get a good desciption of the ioctls?
this would be VERY useful.

Optimal Directory Structure?

1998-09-04 Thread Steve Cohen

I realize that there is not one answer to this question but I would like
some of you veteran java/linux developers to suggest what the optimal
directory structure and setup of the CLASSPATH variable is.

I am, frankly, a C++ programmer trying to learn java and I am
continually frustrated over the myriad ways I can be foobared by
CLASSPATH.  And then packages on top of that.

I have been trying the different java tools that are out there, such as
Jacob and JDE.  Every time I do, I seem to spend an inordinate amount of
time chasing down problems that are due to different ideas from the
developers of these packages of how and where CLASSPATH should be
defined.

In the environment?  In the makefile?  In the "project file"?  How to
set it so that the setup that works for compilation also works for
running, debugging, etc.

I know it isn't rocket science, but it is annoying.  What I am looking
for is a strategy.  I want to be able to set it one way and forget about
it, at least until the next project.

Any advice would be appreciated.

There is nothing wrong with the JDK; this is standard behaviour for
floating point numbers, because of the way they are stored by the
computer. Using the double type you will have more precision, but you will
still have problems like this, so if you absolutely must have 100% sharp
precision you must use other ways, like fixed point numbers simulated with
integers, or something.

It's not so easy.!!
For exemple, if you want to run "ls", you must handle the output with
stream and do a loop to show the result.

For my job I need to interface some comands like this:

psxy -R...parameters...> prova.ps

psxy is a GMT (Generic Mapping Tolls)command which creates a ps file.
It doesn't work!!!
I don't know what is handled from Linux and what must be implemented
with java.

Is there anybody who knows more about it?

Check out
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
Process.getOutputStream()
Process.getInputStream()

Just handle the streams as required...
(the command is a separate process so you can carry on
prodding and listening to the streams in your program)

RE: Java 1.1.6 can't add!

1998-09-04 Thread Harold G. Andrews II

Steve,

On a slight aside, this problem may not be so bad for you.  Digital
representation of any floating point number is really an approximation.
But, our convention for writing floating point numbers (not on a computer)
actually allows for two representations for any non-zero number that
"terminates". (The term "terminates" is somewhat misleading, since
technically it doesn't really terminate.  It has an infinite sequence of 0's
after some finite number of digits other than zero).

The proof of this is:

let x = 0.99...
=> 10x = 9.9...
=> 10x - x = 9.9... - 0.99...
=> 9x = 9
=> x = 1

therefore 1.000... = 0.9...

This may not be of much help to you, but I always thought it was
interesting.  I'm not saying you don't have a problem, only that it may not
be as bad as you though.

Search javaworld - they have some good stuff on the Volanomark:
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-00-1998/jw-00-volanomark.html
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-1997/jw-12-volanomark.html
This is a good benchmark if you're doing networking, I think.

There are several ORBs available for Linux, e.g. OmniBroker and JacORB.
Look under

May be you are right, but anyway:  it is a bug in tya.
Tonight I've no solution for you, but as workaround
try disable 

 #define USE_REG_OPT
 
in tyaconfig.h and recompile.
(It is a problem in register allocation, you know
 unfortunately the x86 CPU has only less general purpose registers.
 Differences between jdk are possible if the used C compilers
 are using different strategies using the edi and esi registers.)

But once again: it is a tya bug. 

MANY thanks to Fulco for his bug demo program.

Yes you can run Java servlets on Linux.  You can download the Java
Servlet Develppment Kit (JSDK) 2.0 for free from Sun at:

  http://java.sun.com/products/java-server/servlets/index.html#sdk

The kit contains the 100% Java classes libraries you need to write
your servlets.  The servlets can, in turn, be run from virtually any
web server such as Apache or Sun's Java Web Server (JWS) - also
downloadable from Sun, but not free.  Instructions for getting JWS
running on Linux can be found on this page:

  http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux/products.html

For help with getting servlets going with Apache, check out:

  http://java.apache.org

There are several options here including the mod_jserv module from the
Apache group or the JRun product you mentioned above.

I have had success in getting Java servlets to run on Red Hat 5.0
using both JWS and Apache 1.3.1+mod_jserv.

Hope this helps to get you started.

Re: TYA 1.0 memory corruption

It was probably the use of egcs 1.03 compiler that help keep the bug
down. ;-)
Keep us posted.  I would be glade to alpha test again if you need.

Later,
