It's an assignment to show you can do "it" (whatever "it" may be) in Java. You admit you can't do it. Why the heck should we help you cheat and help you by doing it for you? We'd end up with incompetent (by their own admission) potential coworkers.

Most of our servers that aren't running Solaris are running on RH Enterprise. The rest run Debian. That's a total of something like a hundred Linux servers.

[QUOTE=Agilemind;1632579]I would add to this the popular mentality that "we can have our cake and eat it too" which kept electing politicians who spent more than they had and cut taxes while running a deficit. And caused people to borrow money to buy luxuries they couldn't afford (eg. monster houses).[/QUOTE] …

no, all she says is that clrscr() is in almost all cases it is used used incorrectly and without being needed. Its SOLE use is to clear the screen in console applications. BUT, console applications should NOT clear the screen, they should instead assume that the screen is not in …

Think of calling a method to do a database query on a database that is closed. Or calling a read method on a stream that's past the end of the data. Or calling write methods on a readonly file. Note that these won't throw IllegalStateException in Java but they could …

in fact the only stuff not written in Java is platform specific stuff that requires JNI. I wonder what the kid calls "real programs", given the fact that worldwide several million people build and maintain business critical applications using Java every day, applications running multinational corporations with revenue in access …

It is an economic alternative to life inprisonment. If properly handled (meaning public executions rather than doing it in secret as is now often the case in many countries) it can also act as a powerful deterrent for would be criminals. So yes, I'm in favour of it though not …

do learn to use your tools. You NEVER run the JDK tooling from the installation directory. Run them from the root of your source directory, setting the appropriate environment variables to point to the JDK tooling, and the appropriate commandline parameters for the compiler to direct its input and output …

why would you use recursion here at all? I don't see the reason for it.

if it were knowledge appropriate for the position, you should have known this already and not have to ask it here...

if you don't know the terms used by these products and systems, how can you ever hope to determine whether they're right for you? There's tons of books and no doubt websites out there to help, get searching and you will be enlightened.

I guess you need a class Cell, Shop, probably Customer, SalesPerson, and a bunch of others. You'll also need some knowledge of the problem domain, communications skills, coding skills, etc. etc., and those especially seem to be severely lacking.

YUCK, scriptlets. Use servlets for anything requiring Java code.

water is my beverage of choice every day of the week. I don't drink alcohol by choice (I don't like it...), I've abandoned all drinks containing sugar (high carb food/drink causes me chronic fatigue plus I could loose some weight, and that includes milk), and I can't stand coffee. Leaves …

call me archaic, but I refuse to use any "social network". I've some IM tools, 2 mobile phones, 4 email accounts, Skype, and a landline. If people still can't get into contact with me when they want/need to they can assume I don't want to have contact with them and …

[QUOTE=happygeek;1604549]The EDL are racist hate-mongers.[/QUOTE] Wrong. As a group they're not. Sadly there's some of those people among their membership, but they're not the majority and the majority is trying to keep/drive them out where they appear. Of course the press represents them as far right radical racist anti-semites, but …

If I were that university I'd contract a specialised company to deliver one of their ready to use, commercially available, and very reasonably priced off the shelf solutions rather than get some first year students to develop it for them. But that's just me...

still waiting for that "final year project idea generator". Given the insane number of lazy kids who can't even be bothered to come up with project ideas, it'd be a major seller.

If you're a freelancer taking on projects where you agree to a fixed price but not a fixed set of requirements and deliverables, it's nothing but your own fault. Same goes for any contract. Nothing special about freelancers there, except they often lack the expert knowledge in reading and writing …

It's your project to figure it out, not ours. Nor is it our job to hand you your homework thesis on a golden platter.

maybe she should have said "no, no, no" to all those drugs dealers... Nothing personal, but I won't miss her. The world's a cleaner place with every druggie that takes an od.

people have been predicting self-driven cars "within a few years" for at least 50 years. It ain't happened yet. Electric cars of course are utterly useless for anyone who needs to drive more than a very short distance per day, as their range is extremely limited and the recharging after …

Sun/Oracle has excellent training courses, which are offered in a variety of forms, including online.

[QUOTE=Ancient Dragon;1608878]Sounds like Ron Paul's a winner to me, but that's not likely to happen. [/QUOTE] you can count on the GoP to select the candidate least likely to win against Obama.

and another release intent on making Java a clone of C#, Ruby, and C++ all at the same time. Maybe it's time to move to another platform, one where the maintenance/dev group does recognise its own strengths and doesn't sacrifice them for a popularity contest in some online poll.

Or just go out and buy an existing system, of which there are thousands. Far easier, especially as you'll have to become an expert in all kinds of legal and financial matters to get everything right (and if you don't, and use it to base your tax returns on, you're …

[QUOTE=chamnab;1609015]can i write XML with JAVA ?[/QUOTE] A billion Java programs and libraries doing just that wound indicate that you haven't done any research of your own.

sad state of affairs when someone that close to graduating "university" posts questions like this...

There are many excellent books and websites offering tutorials to do just that. Don't think you can program Java because you can use the generators in Eclipse, because (as you found out) it doesn't work like that.

You'd need to create some online service to store and retrieve the scores. A simple REST web service might be ideal for this, with just 2 commands: "GET" command to get a list of high scores (or optionally with a parameter to get the score for a specific player) and …

if there's no requirements, there can be no product. In an "agile" environment, there should still be requirements but they'll be broken up into chunks that are small enough to fit into a short iteration of a few days or weeks. Of course in reality many people use the excuse …

Maybe another stupid idea: check that your RoboPlot class has a method with the exact signature required for a main method (i.e. public static void main(String[] args) ).

Package your enterprise application as an ear file, with the jars in the required directory structure, and it's all taken care of. Do NOT put everything in the app server's lib directory.

we're not here to do your homework for you. If you had done your homework in the past, you'd have known what to do now.

what's with all the booze related posts lately?

retire at 50? What would I pay the mortgage, tax, insurance, food, electricity, etc. bills with for the 17 years after that until my retirement fund kicks in? It's not as if the developer job pays so much one can build up a nestegg large enough to live 15 years …

Darwin himself wrote the book on it, why not read that? As to human evolution, it's impossible to predict and there are many contradictory ideas. I myself believe it's either stagnant or reversing, as there's no longer any competition based on genetics going on to select the best traits for …

There is no goto in Java and for a very good reason. You should not work the way you propose, you should instead call a different method from each condition instead of jumping to a fixed position in the same method. The same goes for C as well. Though goto …

ok, so the error happens every day at the same time. That hints at something outside the application, most likely either in the database or the connection pool.

There are ways to turn on a computer remotely over a LAN (or even WAN) but they require specialised hardware as well as specialised control software. The question btw reminds me of a time when a customer filed a bugreport and demanded we fix a piece of software so it'd …

Any developer you see working without a designer at his side is trying to make up his own designs (and is thus acting in 2 roles at once). Some may be capable of doing this, most aren't. Same with designers trying to make things without a developer to do the …

super secret stuff mere mortals can't handle. Their brains'd explode out of their ears, which leaves a terrible mess (we experimented, why do you think the total number of users is so much lower than the active number of users?).

more Me2! features than ever before. The JCP is turning Java into Ruby# for the sake of winning popularity contests among schoolkids it seems. Not recommended.
