JMenus

[zhah99 via JavaKB.com]

Hello everyone! I was hoping I could get a few pointers on the code below.
Basically the program is using JMenus. When the program first runs the only
menu that is there is Session wherein users may login to the system. There
is a tab for an existing user and a new user. The new user is working
alright. However, existing user is not. I am not quite sure how to get
around that one. I have to check the ArrayList Users to find out if the
password entered matches one in there or not, if it does then they enter the
system, if not is asks them to enter the correct password. I have that in a
for loop right now, but that is not working, does anyone have any ideas for
me? This part of the code is in passwordfield.addActionListener and signin.
addActionListener. Next after a user enters the system 3 more menus are
available...Read File, Sales Data Entry, and Write File. Read File has two
tabs - Text File and Object File. Text File just reads a text file and puts
in the Salesman ArrayList and Object File reads in objects and prints them to
the text area. Write File has two tabs - Write Text File and Write Object
File. Write Text File writes the Salesman Array List to a text file and
prints it to the text area and Write Object File writes a text file as
objects to another file. Then Sales Data Entry has two tabs - Update Current
Salesman and Enter New Salesman. I actually haven't put the calculations in
the code yet, but they will basically add the salesman data to the Salesman
ArrayList.

So the problems I seem to having other than the password part above are:

(1) with currencyFormat.format(total) in writetextFile() and readobjectFile()
it is not allowing it to put it in currency format and I don't really
understand that. I have import java.text.NumberFormat; in SalesMenu(). Does
anyone have any idea of why this might be happening?
(2) output (the textarea) is not being read in the writetextFile() and
readobjectFile()...i am sure this is something simple I am just not realizing.
Does anyone know why it's not allowing me to print to the output?

I realize this is a long piece of code, but if anyone has the time to help me
out I would greatly appreciate it. I didn't know how much of the code to
post, so I just decided to post the whole thing. Again, I haven't done the
calculations yet, but I am going to work on those right now. Thank you for
any tips you may be able to give! I appreciate it!

Just looking at it quickly for Item (2) the JTextArea output is define
as a local object in inner class Class ReadObjectFilePanel and you try
to reference from another inner Class ReadObjectFilePanel. I would just
move it up as a class object for SalesMenu.

Even though you did present a lot of code. The following Classes are
missing to test: Users,Salesman,ClassificationLevel,NoSalesException

Guess I am lazy.. but will look at it again.

Thanks in Advance...

You are right I did forget to post the other code. Here it is:

}

public void setSales(double sales)
{

}

public String getName()

Also, I fixed the JTextArea problem using your solution. I am not coming up
with an error anymore in that regard. I appreciate you taking your time to
look at this. :) Thanks again in advance for any tips you may be able to
give!! I appreciate it!

For item (1) currency format problem. Think you want to use this format:

NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance().format(total)

--

[IchBin]

Also if you want to go the other way. That is from currency to number:

try {
Number number = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance().parse(total);
if (number instanceof Long) {
// Long value
} else {
// Double value
}
} catch (ParseException e) {
}

Again if you want to use a different currency just use the Local for
either direction.

Locale locale = Locale.GERMANY;
NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(locale).format(total);

When I mentioned about the JTextArea output problem. You also had it
defined to both the ReadObjectFilePanel and ReadObjectFilePanel Classes.
So after making the change I mentioned it will compile. Problem is you
need to get rid of both local JTextArea output declarations so both
access the global one.

[zhah99 via JavaKB.com]

Ok, awesome the currency is working great now. That is perfect, the output
is good as well, thank you sooo much! I have another question for you,
whenever I click on a tab that allows me to actually look for a file to open
or print to the output it always closes and goes back the first frame with
just Session on it, why doesn't it stay on the second frame that is opened
(the one with the 4 tabs). Instead of opening and showing you the printed
info or whatever it might be it goes the the first frame automatically. Is
there a way around this? I hope that made sense, it is kind of hard to
explain.

I'll take a peek at it.. You also need to add a try block, from the code
you gave me, around line 832:

try {

file = new FileWriter(fileName);
buff = new BufferedWriter(file);
}

catch (IOException ioe){
ioe.printStackTrace();
}

Did not look do you persist your user names and passwords. Do you
encrypt them? Will this run off a server ?

[IchBin]

Oh forgot to mention.. Not sure what IDE you are using but you should
start to learning how to use it's debugger. You may actually learn more
that what you bargained for.

[zhah99 via JavaKB.com]

I did catch the try catch block...I added that just a few mintues ago. I
realized I forgot about that. It gets so confusing when you have so much
code. It's crazy! I appreciate all of your help with this, you have been
extreamly nice and helpful!! Thank you so much! I very much appreciate it.
By the way I have been using Eclipse SDK. What do you think about that?
Should I use something different? Again, thank you for helping me out with
all of this.

[IchBin]

Then we are using the same IDE, Eclipse 3.2.M5. Currently I try split my
time between Eclipse, Netbeans 1.5. and Sun's JCreator II Studio. The
JCreator is a highly modified Netbeans 1.4 for web stuff. I got rid off
all the web plugins for Eclipse. It is just not there yet, for me.
I had used Oracle's JDeveloper since it first came out and VisualAge
before that, work wise. Well really Netbeans back in 7/8 years and
Eclipse last 2 and a half years. Couple of smaller ones JGRASP and BlueJ
I just deleted those and loaded a new smaller foot print one called
Creator LE. Sometimes it nice to use with out having to load the world
with any of the other IDE's.

With the new Netbeans 1.5, Eclipse will be getting a better fight. But
people who use Eclipse have a tendency to stay with it. Same goes for
the Netbeans people. 80% of the time the best development environment is
the one you know. This way you can fully utilize it. I never know what I
will be working on so the more he better. It can only make my
understanding better. That is chaining all of the individual experiences
together as a collective. But, that's me.

Just remember, the IDE does not write your code. So the targeted
language should always be the quest.

Just as an aside. There are only three references you really need to
absorb to get the best out of Java, outside experience. That is:

-The Java Language Specification
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/j3TOC.html

-The current JDK API Documentation you are working with.

-Sun's Really Big Index
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/reallybigindex.html

And separately, the knowledge and correct method to use the Internet
(web or newsgroups) to find something you do not know about.

I am assuming it has to do with the ClassificationLevel, but I don't
understand why. It was working not too long ago, I cannot figureout what I
did.

For you own invested interest in programming Java. You have chance to
improve your debugging skills. Add a debug stop (DBL-Click left side
on blue strip) a few lines before and run in debug mode.

Once the program hits the stop select a var and then right click and
either inspect (quick view of var content) or watch. Then step thru
program. Look at the yellow arrows up in the left panel for step into or
over. Hover mouse to see which one to use. If you do not see anything
then move your another debug stop higher in your logic. I am busy right
now and can not help. Look at the var Roedy mentioned.

Show us the code for SalesMenu. readTextFile.

At line 482 you wrote something like:

ClassificationLevel cl = ClassificationLevel.valueOf(
stringIjustRead );

StringIJustRead is not one of the enum strings.

So wrap it in a try catch ( IllegalArgumentException e )
and dump out stringIJustRead to find out the offending String then
fix your datafile.

You have not done as I requested so I can't diagnose the problem. I
will hazard a guess though from this additional information that the
problem is trailing spaces. Always trim your fields.

I apologize, I misread what you were asking for. I am sorry. Here is the
code for readTextFile():

[code]

File fileName = fileChooser.getSelectedFile();

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, " Your file has been read, to view it
go to Write File - Write Text File or" + "\n" +
"go to Write File - Write Object File and then Read File - Read Object
File!!", "Text File Read", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
}

Thanks again for all of your help and again, I apologize.

So as expected, you are trying to parse an enum constant by using the
static valueOf method. If the original exception message is correct,
then I'm skeptical of your text file. It appears that the value you are
passing to valueOf is not "SENIOR" but rather " S E N I O R". I don't
know why that would've happened. To confirm it, though, can you add a
line just before ClassificationLevel.valueOf that looks like this?

System.err.println("Level: " + elements[6]);

Let us know what your program printf out when you call this function
then.

Incidentally, it's probably bad form to define a file format with enum
values as significant tokens. Generally speaking, identifiers within
the language ought to be reserved for use with other Java code. By
using them in user-visible places (even marginally user-visible, like in
this input file) you are limiting your flexibility to tune your
interaction with the user. You lose the ability to decide case
sensitivity, to use certain characters in your format, to define
synonyms, to adapt to locale and language, etc. None of that is your
current problem, but I'd suggest that you consider different designs
that don't store enum value identifiers in your data file.

This can be an encoding problem. Show us the code where you read the
file.

To see how it should be done, see
http://mindprod.com/applets/fileio.html

[zhah99 via JavaKB.com]

Ok, I rewrote the text file with the Sales Information in it and saved as
something else and it seems to be running great now. I dont know what was
going on, but I will go ahead and take a look at your link and see what I can
do. I very much appreciate it.

Zhah,

Yep, Roedy's probably hit the nail on the head. It's almost certainly
an encoding problem. You've already posted the code, which reads the
file using the platform default encoding. The platform default encoding
is not portable... one of the few ways of writing non-portable code in
Java, in fact. That could explain why this is happening on one system
but not on another. You would need to solve this by replacing
FileReader with a FileInputStream wrapped in an InputStreamReader, and
specifying an encoding explicitly for the InputStreamReader. First,
though, you'd need to discover the correct encoding is. That's a
tougher problem.

Have you done anything like change the default language of your
operating system? Also, what tool are you using to create the file?
Have you specified any kind of text encoding or character set options in
that tool?

In any case, try it with the encodings "UTF-8" and "UTF-16BE". Those
seem a little likely, given your problem. It is a little odd, though.

[zhah99 via JavaKB.com]

Yeah, this is a bit strange. Especially since I rewrote the text file and
saved it as something else and now it is working. No I haven't changed the
defualt language on my system or anything. Honestly I just used notepad to
do the text file. I figured that was the easiest thing to do and I usually
use Eclipse SDK for everything else.

It is as if you had a 16 bit file that you read with an 8-bit
encoding, or you wrote 16 bit chars and read them with a 8-bit text
editor.

Hey everyone, I have a couple of more questions regarding this program if you
all have time.

First, the Existing User Panel - I know that I need a for loop to determine
if the password entered for an existing user is in the ArrayList Users,
however when determining if the password entered is "terminator" (which is
the guest password) I do not need it, so I am having trouble determining the
best way to set this up. Does anyone have any ideas for me?

The second thing I am struggling with is populating the data fields in the
Current Salesman Panel. I am just not quite sure how to go about this. What I
would like to happen is when a user enters the name of a Salesman then their
previous entry of information pops up in all of the fields and then the next
time their name is entered the newest data after that pops up into the fields.
Anyone have any ideas for this part?

[code]
class CurrentSalesmanPanel extends JPanel
{
public CurrentSalesmanPanel()

JLabel salesmanlabel = new JLabel("Salesman:");
salesmanname = new JTextField(15);
JLabel none1 = new JLabel("");
JLabel amtsoldlabel = new JLabel("Amount Sold:");
amtprodsold = new JTextField(15);
JLabel none2 = new JLabel("");
JLabel prodsoldlabel = new JLabel("Product Sold:");
product = new JComboBox();
JLabel saleslevellabel = new JLabel("Sales Level:");
saleslevel = new JComboBox();
JLabel empty1 = new JLabel("");
JButton updatesalesmandata = new JButton("Update Salesman");
JButton done = new JButton("All Data Entry Done");
JLabel empty2 = new JLabel("");

saleslevel.addItem("");
saleslevel.addItem("Entry");
saleslevel.addItem("Junior");
saleslevel.addItem("Senior");

product.addItem("");
product.addItem("Product 1");
product.addItem("Product 2");
product.addItem("Product 3");
product.addItem("Product 4");
product.addItem("Product 5");

setLayout(new FlowLayout());

add(salesmanlabel);
add(salesmanname);
add(none1);
add(amtsoldlabel);
add(amtprodsold);
add(none2);
add(prodsoldlabel);
add(product);
add(saleslevellabel);

I will post the entire code if anyone needs/wants me to. I wasn't sure if it
would be easier to just show the parts that I am unsure of or the whole thing,
so if you would like me to post the whole thing I would be happy to. I would
greatly appreciate any tips or help anyone could give me. Thank you so much
in advance.

Oh also, on a text area called output is their a way to put a JScrollPane?
Here is an example of a text area I am using:

[code]
class WriteTextFilePanel extends JPanel
{
public WriteTextFilePanel()
{
JLabel none1 = new JLabel("");
JButton writetextfile = new JButton("Write Text File");
JButton cancel = new JButton("Cancel");
JLabel none2 = new JLabel("");
output = new JTextArea(250,300);

output.setVisible(true);
output.setRows(20);
output.setColumns(26);

setLayout(new FlowLayout());

add(none1);
add(writetextfile);
add(cancel);
add(none2);
add(output);

writetextfile.setToolTipText("Click here to select the text file you want
to view and write the Salesman Data to.");

writetextfile.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
writeTextFile();
}
});

cancel.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
frame.setVisible(false);
}
});
}
}
[/code]
