STRUTS 1.X + FILE IMAGE UPLOAD DOWNLOAD + DB

https://github.com/namitsharma99/strutsStartup

SERVLET + JSP + DATABASE + IMAGE UPLOAD AND DOWNLOAD

Hello Buddies.

This is a commonly found task for most of the java developers, to provide a UI for uploading and downloading files. We have taken a step further and pushed the uploaded files into DB.

See the beauty of BLOB/ CLOB here.

The full code is available here -

https://github.com/namitsharma99/uploadFileServletDb

And description will be approaching soon.

Happy Coding!!

Write an excel file using java code

Hello Buddies.

Trying to write an excel file using java code this time.

Full code is available here -

https://github.com/namitsharma99/fileHandlingUsingJava/tree/master/src/com/java/code

Here it goes -

package com.java.code;

import java.io.FileOutputStream;

import java.io.IOException;

import java.util.ArrayList;

import java.util.List;

import org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFCell;

import org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFRow;

import org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFSheet;

import org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFWorkbook;

public class WriteExcelFile {

public static void main(String[] args) {

List<String> employees = new ArrayList<String>();

employees.add("1,Namit,Engineer");

employees.add("2,Sharma,Developer");

try {

writeExcel(employees);

} catch (Exception e) {

e.printStackTrace();

}

* Output will be -

* 1 Namit Engineer

* 2 Sharma Developer

* */

}

private static void writeExcel(List<String> employees) throws IOException {

* the thumb-rule for any excel operation is work-book > work-sheet >

* row > cell

FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(

"/home/namit/Downloads/writtenExcel.xls");

HSSFWorkbook hssfWorkbook = new HSSFWorkbook();

HSSFSheet hssfSheet = hssfWorkbook.createSheet();

for (int i = 0; i < employees.size(); i++) {

String row1 = employees.get(i);

String[] row1Cells = row1.split(",");

HSSFRow hssfRow = hssfSheet.createRow(i);

for (int j = 0; j < row1Cells.length; j++) {

HSSFCell hssfCell = hssfRow.createCell(j);

hssfCell.setCellValue(row1Cells[j]);

}

hssfWorkbook.write(fileOutputStream);

fileOutputStream.close();

hssfWorkbook.close();

}

Refer to the comments in the code for some tid-bits, and drop a note for any suggestion or query.

Happy Coding !!

Writing a text file using java code

Hello Buddies.

Trying to write a text file from a java class this time.

Full code is available here -

https://github.com/namitsharma99/fileHandlingUsingJava/tree/master/src/com/java/code

Here it goes -

package com.java.code;

import java.io.File;

import java.io.FileOutputStream;

import java.io.IOException;

public class WriteTextFile {

public static void main(String[] args) {

String storeFileAt = "/home/namit/Downloads/newTextFile.txt";

try {

writeFile(storeFileAt);

} catch (IOException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

}

// output in the created file

// Hello, this is an example for java coding.

// Please refer to thecodebuddy.blogspot.in for more!

}

private static void writeFile(String storeFileAt) throws IOException {

FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = null;

File file = new File(storeFileAt);

fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(file);

String myContent = "Hello, this is an example for java coding. \n Please refer to thecodebuddy.blogspot.in for more!";

* to avoid java.io.FileNotFoundException:

* /home/namit/writtenExamples/newTextFile.txt (No such file or

* directory), following check is used

if (!file.exists())

file.createNewFile();

fileOutputStream.write(myContent.getBytes());

fileOutputStream.close();

}

Follow the comments in the code for a better understanding, and do try it out.

Your suggestions and try-outs are welcome.

Happy Coding!!

JAVASCRIPT SAMPLES - A SMALL SERIES FOR HANDS ON IN UI SCRIPTS

Hello Buddies.

I have seen many instances where being a developer, who has tasted the front end some or the other time, you are asked if you have created something javascript or any other JS library.

If you have, great, it gives you an edge. But what if you feel like you haven't spent quite a sometime on the UI alone, but were always going with the application all together, at your workplace.

To deal with such scenarios, I thought why not we should have some basic javascript functions that on the one side can be fun to create like games, and on the other side can showcase your effort spent on the same.

So combining few of such interesting samples, that will give you a flavour of maths, logical reasoning and of course UI programming.

You can refer to these 4 posts for this moment and can come back later with better versions or suggestion for our buddies, or to see if the post has been updated, if that interests you ;)

JAVASCRIPT SAMPLES - TIC TAC TOE GAME & DYNAMIC TABLE CREATION IN JSP

Hello Buddies.

It's time to play tic-tac-toe, but this time, not with pen and paper.
We will create our own page that allows us to play tic-tac-toe and determines the winner.

You can get the complete code here -

https://github.com/namitsharma99/game-tic-tac-toe

So what should we start with?

Here we go -

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%> < !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd" > < html > < head > < meta http - equiv = "Content-Type" content = "text/html; charset=UTF-8" >  < link rel = "stylesheet" href = "https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" >  < script src = "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js" > < /script>  < script src = "https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js" > < /script> < link rel = "stylesheet" href = "./stylish.css" / > < title > GaMe - BeGiN < /title> < script type = "text/javascript" > function createTable() { document.getElementById("rules") .setAttribute("style", "display: block"); document.getElementById("createT").setAttribute("style", "display: none"); document.getElementById("destroyT").setAttribute("style", "display: block"); var theTable = document.getElementById("myDivTable"); var createdTable = document.createElement("table"); createdTable.setAttribute("class", "whatATable"); createdTable.setAttribute("border", "1"); var tabBody = document.createElement("tbody"); createdTable.appendChild(tabBody); for (var i = 0; i < 3; i++) { var myRow = document.createElement("tr"); tabBody.appendChild(myRow); for (var j = 0; j < 3; j++) { var myCol = document.createElement("td"); myCol.setAttribute("class", "whatACell"); // var myText = document.createTextNode("Cell "+ i + "," + j); // as alternative var myButton = document.createElement("input"); myButton.setAttribute("id", i + "," + j); // myButton.setAttribute("value","Cell "+ i + "," + j); // myCol.appendChild(myText); // as alternative myCol.appendChild(myButton); // myCol.setAttribute("id", i + "," + j); myRow.appendChild(myCol); } } theTable.appendChild(createdTable); } function evaluate() { // alert('hello!'); var a00 = document.getElementById("0,0").value; var a01 = document.getElementById("0,1").value; var a02 = document.getElementById("0,2").value; var a10 = document.getElementById("1,0").value; var a11 = document.getElementById("1,1").value; var a12 = document.getElementById("1,2").value; var a20 = document.getElementById("2,0").value; var a21 = document.getElementById("2,1").value; var a22 = document.getElementById("2,2").value; if ((a00 != '' && a01 != '' && a02 != '' && (a00 == a01 && a01 == a02)) || (a10 != '' && a11 != '' && a12 != '' && (a10 == a11 && a11 == a12)) || (a20 != '' && a21 != '' && a22 != '' && (a20 == a21 && a21 == a22)) || (a00 != '' && a10 != '' && a20 != '' && (a00 == a10 && a10 == a20)) || (a01 != '' && a11 != '' && a21 != '' && (a01 == a11 && a11 == a21)) || (a02 != '' && a12 != '' && a22 != '' && (a02 == a12 && a12 == a22)) || (a00 != '' && a11 != '' && a22 != '' && (a00 == a11 && a11 == a22)) || (a02 != '' && a11 != '' && a20 != '' && (a02 == a11 && a11 == a20)) ) { alert('We have a winner!'); } } $(document).keyup(function (event) { // alert('Handler for .keypress() called. - ' + event.charCode); evaluate(); }); function destroyTable() { location.reload(); } < /script> < /head> < body class = "extraContainer" > < div class = "container" align = "center" > < hr > < button onclick = "createTable()" id = "createT" class = "btn btn-success" > Create Table < /button> < hr > < div id = "rules" style = "display: none" > < h3 > Only X or 0 allowed! < /h3> < /div> < hr > < div id = "myDivTable" > < /div> < hr > < button onclick = "destroyTable()" id = "destroyT" style = "display: none" class = "btn btn-danger" > Destroy Table < /button> < hr > < /div> < /body> < /html>

We have 2 beautiful snippets here, if you could just observe the jsp code.

1. First of all, createTable(). It shows you how to create a table in the jsp dynamically.
(Sounds useful isn't it. You can use it elsewhere as well)

2. Then comes the evaluate() method, that will evaluate if any valid triplet is created or not with every keypress.

Short and simple, and rest upto you.

I don't say it's the most efficient way, but surely it is an easy way, that along with its implementation will make you comfortable with javascript methods.

Do share you versions of the game or tips to do better coding for the buddies.

Happy Coding!!
