DatagramSocket option in jdk1.1.6v4
Hi, I thought this problem is fixed in jdk1.1.6v4, but I still have it: java.net.SocketException: invalid DatagramSocket option at java.net.PlainDatagramSocketImpl.setOption(PlainDatagramSocketImpl.java:155) at java.net.MulticastSocket.create(MulticastSocket.java:111) at java.net.DatagramSocket.(DatagramSocket.java:114) at java.net.DatagramSocket.(DatagramSocket.java:100) at java.net.MulticastSocket.(MulticastSocket.java:92) jdk1.1.6v1 did not have this problem though.

String.equals bug ?
Hi. I am trying to test two strings for equality, but the virtual machine throws me an unexpected exception. The equality test is simply if ( args[4].equals( "yes" ) ) System.out.println( pyr.toString() ); The result is Stack Trace : java.lang.NumberFormatException: yes at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Compiled Code) at java.lang.Integer.valueOf(Compiled Code) at test.Dump2p2_2.main(Compiled Code) Any ideas ?

Re: String.equals bug ?
Your code looks ok to me, however it appears as though the JVM has a problem with the array of type string ( I assume "args[]" is a array of strings). Try using an explicit cast of the array element to a string before the "equals(x)" call like this " ((String)args[4]).equals( "yes" ) . Good luck Chris Hinds :-) Dimitrios Vyzovitis wrote: > Hi. > I am trying to test two strings for equality, but the virtual machine > throws me an unexpected exception. > The equality test is simply > > if ( args[4].equals( "yes" ) ) > System.out.println( pyr.toString() ); > > The result is > > Stack Trace : java.lang.NumberFormatException: yes > at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Compiled Code) > at java.lang.Integer.valueOf(Compiled Code) > at test.Dump2p2_2.main(Compiled Code) > > Any ideas ? > I am using jdk116v4a and compiled using jikes and javac. > > -- > Dimitrios Vyzovitis -- Information Processing Laboratory > [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Aristotle University of Thessaloniki > [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering > http://egnatia.ee.auth.gr/~dviz

It is a bit hidden - it is in the README.linux file under the NS_JAVA option. :-) If you set that environment variable, the non-statically linked non-AWT JVM will be used. One thing we can look at is to use the non-AWT/X version automatically whenever the DISPLAY variable is not set. You could still set the NS_JAVA to always use that, but at least it would be less confusing/more automatic for the cases where X is not running, let alone installed.

Problem running/installing JDK
All, I downloaded and installed the JDK1.1.6 v2 for Intel( glibc ). The installation appeared to go with no hitches. The jdk was installed into /usr/local/jdk1.1.6. When i type javac *.java from the jdk1.1.6 main directory i receive /usr/local/jdk1.1.6/bin/../bin/i586/green_threads/javac: /usr/local/jdk1.1.6/bin/..i586/green_threads/java: No such file or directory When looking in above directories, the files are there. I also ran the export PATH procedure to add the jdk1.1.6/bin directory to my path. I am extremely new to linux, and i know the unix guru's are probably shaking their heads right now. But any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am running as root on the latest version of SlackWar Thanks in advance for any help... Terry Harding Phoenix, AZ
Re: AudioClip being Garbled [ was Bug in v4a?]
Yes I had audio clips in application being garbled and looping at
arbitary points for odd reasons (bad for java games).
I thought it was because the data was never being completely loaded.
Ah, maybe I should look `MediaTracker'. Implement Audio version of
Swing/JFC ImageIcon class. However I realized this class only works
with images in JDK1.1 ;-(.

The purpose of these lists are for interested people to ask questions. Some questions are easily answerable by looking at the docs, and others are not so obvious or may reflect that someone has become confused about something and because of that may not realize that the docs answer their question. Whatever the case, there is no reason to have an attitude when "helping" someone. Thats the simple point. Mark

Let me just put in my two cents as another newbie. It's a pain in the a** to have to RTFM all the time. Has anyone counted up all the thousands of pages of documents there are out there? Speaking as someone who has been R'ing TFM instead of asking, I have to say that while it gives me a great deal of satisfaction to have figured it out on my own, there has been more than one occasion when I've been up all night long searching for an answer in the docs that one of you gurus could have answered without thinking.

Re: Java app without X installed
If you would take the time to observe this list for a while then you would realize that just about every question is answered almost immediately. I know I asked a lot of redundant and simple questions and always got an answer. Please, wait for more than one email as your reference before attacking an entire mailing list. Go back to the archives and see for yourself. This arguement is useless and doesn't deserve to be posted on this list (mine included) - so I want to apologize to everyone who's had to read through this crap.

Speaking strictly for myself, I believe people have two options; 1) take their own time to read the documentation and ask questions if they still don't understand, 2) pay an expert for the answers that they have invested the time to acquire. IMHO, those are you only choices. I understand time is valuable but no one owes anyone answers they aren't willing to work for or pay for. What John is responding to (and rightly so, as far as I am concerned) is the frustration that comes from answering the same questions over and over when he and others like him have taken the time to record the answers to the most commonly asked questions in the documentation that is shipped with the, need I mention FREE, product. Ask if you like, but, if you aren't paying for the answer, then accept what you get. Over time, I'm sure the documentation will get better. As far as I know, the contributers aren't getting paid so the consumers should be grateful for what there is. Douglas J. Toltzman President/CEO Oak Street Software, Inc.

JavaHelp Experience
I know this is not exactly where i should post this question , but it seems
like this is where I learned a lot of things concerning Java topics
(although I haven't use my Linux box for a while), I hope you-experienced
java programmers- might help me out with this.
I'm trying to implement a Help System system using JavaHelp EA provided by
Sun.I have jdk1.1.6 installed on my PC . I try to write very simple script
followed code fragment and demos from Sun docs; however, i keep getting
NullPointerException when trying to set a HelpSet from URL . I'm pretty sure
that the way I setup my help docs is correct since I can use hsviewer to
bring up this helpset file and its sub files . Here some of my code and
where it gets choked.
public class iscsbJPanel extends com.sun.java.swing.JPanel implements
java.awt.event.ActionListener
{
HelpSet mainHS;
HelpBroker mainHB;
static final String helpsetName = "tram";
public iscsbJPanel()
{
super();
try {
ClassLoader cl = iscsbJPanel.class.getClassLoader();
URL url = HelpSet.findHelpSet(cl, helpsetName);
System.out.println("URL : " + url.toString());
mainHS = new HelpSet(cl,url);
} catch (Exception ee) {
System.out.println ("Help Set "+helpsetName+" not found : "
+ ee.toString());
ee.printStackTrace();
return;
}
}
Output :
URL : systemresource:/ZIP3/+/tram.hs
Help Set tram not found : java.lang.NullPointerException
java.lang.NullPointerException
at javax.javahelp.HelpSet.(HelpSet.java:76)
at iscsbJPanel.(iscsbJPanel.java:32)
at iscsbHelp.(iscsbHelp.java:36)
at iscsbHelp.main(iscsbHelp.java:55)
Could someone please tell me what I need to do to just load a simple HelpSet
or some sample working code ?

[summer@os2 summer]$ locate READ | grep java /usr/java/jre/lib/i686/green_threads/README.versions /usr/java/jre/README I'm not going to read all the replies to this thread. Let me say this: I've spent a considerable amount of time helping others over several years. My web pages were at one time taking 10 000+ hits per month when hosted at another IAP. don't know what traffic they take now: I don't use OS/2 much now and don't provide much OS/2 help now either. I stand by my comments: I think Steve was rude. And the doc he says to read ARE NOT in the package I installed. I'd have checked first: I check that my answers are correct when offering advice: if not then I preface my remarks with "I think" or similar indications of uncertainty. In the above case, I'd have 1 Checked that the document exists 2 Mentioned it by name 3 Probably given a short summary. I always quote enough that the reply carries enough question to make sense alone. I always bear in mind that there are likely to be others with similar questions and try to get those too. If anyone wishes to argue my point further, you'll need evidence. Search usenet archives: you'll need to go back a fair way as I've not been very active since August last year. I don't wish to diminish Steve's work: my point is that in this case he could have done better. Cheers John Summerfield http://os2.ami.com.au/os2/ for OS/2 support.

An Apology
[On behalf of those who couldn't find their ass with both hands and a hounddog, I'm going to apolgize _for_ them:] "Dear JDK Porting Team and Documentation Authors, We apologize for copping an attitude, and _will never do it again_ for fear that WE would have to spend our precious time listening to whiners while providing a commercial level product for free (assuming we could)." Ditto for the rest of us, too. Bill Wadley

Plus, isn't it > conceivable that with so many docs, someone could miss something? the M means Manual. The same term is used in other circles where manpages are unheard of. More loosely it refers to any documentation and I for one DO read it. The only README in the package I mentioned refers to Windows and Solaris.
