Objectives

Introduction to the java environment

Use of java tools like java, javac, jdb and javadoc
Use of IDE Eclipse (demo)
Defining simple classes and creating objects.

Reading

You should read the following topics before starting this exercise
1. Creating, compiling and running a java program.
2. The java virtual machine.
3. Java tools like javac, java, javadoc, javap and jdb.
4. Java keywords
5. Syntax of class.

Ready Reference
Java Tools
(1) javac:- javac is the java compiler which compiles .java file into .class file(i.e. bytecode).
If the program has syntax errors, javac reports them. If the program is error-free, the output of
this command is one or more .class files.
Syntax:
javac fileName.java

(2) java:- This command starts Java runtime environment, loads the specified .class file and
executes the main method.
Syntax:
java fileName

(3) javadoc:- javadoc is a utility for generating HTML documentation directly from
comments written in Java source code.Javadoc comments have a special form but seems like
an ordinary multiline comment to the compiler.
Syntax of the comment:
/**
A sample doc comment
*/
Syntax:
javadoc [options] [packagenames ] [ sourcefiles ] [@files ]
Where,
packagenames: A series of names of packages, separated by spaces
sourcefiles: A series of source file names, separated by spaces
@files: One or more files that contain packagenames and sourcefiles in any order, one
name per line.
Javadoc creates the HTML documentation on the basis of the javadoc tags used in the source
code files. These tags are described in the table below:

Tag Syntax Description

@see @see reference Allows you to refer to the documentation in other classes.
@author @author author- Author-information contains author name, and / or author
information email address or any other appropriate information.
@version @version version- Specifies the version of the program
information
@since @since version This tag allows you to indicate the version of this code
that began using a particular feature.
T.Y.B.Sc (Comp. Sc.) Lab II, Sem I [Page 1]
 @param @param name description This is used for method documentation. Here, name is the
identifier in the method parameter list, and description is
text that can describes the parameter.
@return @return description This describes the return type of a method.
@throws @throws classname This is used when we handle Exceptions. It describes a
description particular type of exception that can be thrown from the
method call.
@deprecated @deprecated description The deprecated tag suggests that this feature is no longer
supported. A method that is marked @deprecated causes
the compiler to issue a warning if it is used.

(4) jdb: -
jdb helps you find and fix bugs in Java language programs. This debugger has limited
functionality.
Syntax:
jdb [ options ] [ class ] [ arguments ]
options : Command-line options.
class : Name of the class to begin debugging.
arguments : Arguments passed to the main() method of class.

After starting the debugger, the jdb commands can be executed. The important jdb commands are:
i. help, or?: The most important jdb command, help displays the list of recognized
commands with a brief description.
ii. run: After starting jdb, and setting any necessary breakpoints, you can use this command to
start the execution the debugged application.
iii. cont: Continues execution of the debugged application after a breakpoint, exception, or
step.
iv. print: Displays Java objects and primitive values. For variables or fields of primitive
types, the actual value is printed. For objects, a short description is printed.
Examples:
print MyClass.myStaticField
print myObj.myInstanceField
print i + j + k
print myObj.myMethod()//if myMethod returns non-null
v. dump: For primitive values, this command is identical to print. For objects, it prints
the current value of each field defined in the object. Static and instance fields are
included.
vi. next: The next command advances execution to the next line in the current stack frame.
vii. step: The step commands advances execution to the next line whether it is in the current
stack frame or a called method.

Breakpoints can be set in jdb at line numbers, constructors, beginning of a method.

Example:
stop at MyClass:10 //sets breakpoint at instruction at line 10 of the source file containing
MyClass
stop in MyClass.display // sets breakpoint at beginning of method display in MyClass
stop in MyClass.<init> //sets breakpoint at default constructor of MyClass
stop in MyClass.<init(int)> //sets breakpoint at parameterized constructor with int as
parameter

(4) javap: -
The javap tool allows you to query any class and find out its list of methods and constants.
javap [ options ] class
Example: javap java.lang.String
It is a disassembler which allows the bytecodes of a class file to be viewed when used with a
classname and the c option.
javap -c class
T.Y.B.Sc (Comp. Sc.) Lab II, Sem I [Page 2]
Setting CLASSPATH

The classpath is the path that the Java runtime environment searches for classes and other
resource files. The class path can be set using either the classpath option or by setting the
CLASSPATH environment variable.
The -classpath option is preferred because you can set it individually for each application without
affecting other applications and without other applications modifying its value. The default value
of the class path is ".", meaning that only the current directory is searched. Specifying either the
CLASSPATH variable or the -cp command line switch overrides this value.

javac classpath \myProg\myPackage; \myProg\otherclasses

Or
CLASSPATH= classpath1;classpath2...
export CLASSPATH
Example
CLASSPATH=.:/usr/local/classes.jar:/home/user1/myclasses
export CLASSPATH
To retain the existing classpath setting, use $CLASSPATH in the new list.
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/home/user1/myclasses

About Eclipse

Eclipse is a popular IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for java programming. It

contains a base workspace and an extensible plug-in system for customizing the environment. The
latest Eclipse version 4.5 was released in 2015. The Eclipse IDE is also available as an IDE for
other languages, ranging from C, C++ to Lua, Python, Perl and PHP. It provides an editor,
debugger, source control and other tools.
The GUI looks as shown:

Perspective Switcher
We can switch between
Menubars various perspectives Task List Pane
Full drop down menus plus quick here
access to common functions This contains a list of
tasks to complete

Editor Pane
This is where we edit
our source code
Package Explorer Pane Outline Pane
This is where our This contains a hierarchical
projects/files are listed view of a source file

Miscellaneous Pane
Various components can appear in this
pane typically this contains a console
and a list of compiler problems

Steps to run a java program using Eclipse:

1. Select workspace
2. Create a new project
3. Project name appears in package explorer, src folder contains source code files
4. Create class (New->Class)
5. Run your program (right click on the class and select Run As -> Java Application)

Assignment 2: Array of Objects and Packages
Objectives

Defining a class.
Creating an array of objects.
Creating a package. (Using package command)
Using packages (Using import command)

Reading

You should read the following topics before starting this exercise:
1. Structure of a class in java.
2. Declaring class reference.
3. Creating an object using new.
4. Declaring an array of references.
5. Creating an array of objects.
6. Syntax of the package and import command.

Ready Reference

General form of a class

class classname {
type instance-variable1;
type instance-variable2;
// ...
type instance-variableN;

type methodname1(parameter-list) {
// body of method
}
type methodname2(parameter-list) {
// body of methodTHE JAVA LANGUAGE
}
// ...
type methodnameN(parameter-list) {
// body of method
}
}
Example
class Student{
private int rollNumber; private String name;
Student() //constructor
{
rollNumber = 0; name = null;
}
Student(int rollNumber, String name)
{
this.rollNumber = rollNumber; this.name = name;
}
void display()
{
System.out.println("Roll number = " + rollNumber);
System.out.println(" Name = " + name);
}
}

T.Y.B.Sc (Comp. Sc.) Lab II, Sem I [Page 6]

Creating objects:
ClassName referenceName;
referenceName = new ClassName();
OR
ClassName referenceName = new ClassName();
Example:
Student s1 = new Student();
Student s2 = new Student(10, "ABC");

Overriding toString method of the Object class:

The toString method gives a string representation of an object. To over-ride the toString
method for a user defined class, use the syntax:
public String toString()
{
// return a string representation of the object
}
Example
class Student{
private int rollNumber;
private String name;
public String toString() {
return "Roll Number = " + rollNumber + "Name = "+name;
}
}
Declaring an array of references:
ClassName[] arrayName = new ClassName[size];
Example:
Student[] studentArray = new Student[10];

Creating an array of objects:

for each reference in the array
{
Create an object using new
}
Example:
Student[] studentArray = new Student[10];
for(i=0; i<10; i++)
studentArray[i] = new Student();

To convert the argument from String to any type, use Wrapper classes.
Method Purpose
Byte.parseByte Returns byte equivalent of a String
Short.parseShort Returns the short equivalent of a String
Integer.parseInt Returns the int equivalent of a String
Long.parseLong Returns the long equivalent of a String
Float.parseFloat Returns the float equivalent of a String
Double.parseDouble Returns the double equivalent of a String

Simple I/O
To read a String from the console, use the following code:
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(System.in);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
Or
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(System.in));

T.Y.B.Sc (Comp. Sc.) Lab II, Sem I [Page 7]

For this, you will have write the following statement at the beginning:
import java.io.*;

Packages:
A package is a collection of related classes and interfaces. It provides a mechanism for
compartmentalizing classes. The Java API is organized as a collection of several predefined
packages. The java.lang package is the default package included in all java programs. The
commonly used packages are:
java.lang Language support classes such as Math, Thread, String
java.util Utility classes such as LinkedList, Vector , Date.
java.io Input/Output classes
java.awt For graphical user interfaces and event handling.
javax.swing For graphical user interfaces
java.net For networking
java.applet For creating applets.

Creating a package
To create a user defined package, the package statement should be written in the source code file.
This statement should be written as the first line of the program. Save the program in a directory
of the same name as the package.
package packageName;

Accessing a package
To access classes from a package, use the import statement.
import packageName.*; //imports all classes
import packageName.className; //imports specified class

Note that the package can have a hierarchy of subpackages. In that case, the package name should
be qualified using its parent packages. Example: project.sourcecode.java
Here, the package named project contains one subpackage named sourcecode which contains a
subpackage named java.

Access Rules
The access rules for members of a class are given in the table below.
Accessible to public protected none private
Same class Yes Yes Yes Yes
Class in same package Yes Yes Yes No
Subclass (in other package) Yes Yes No No
Non subclass in Other package Yes No No No

}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Student s1 = new Student(1,"A");
Student s2 = new Student(2,"B");
Student.assignTeacher("ABC");
System.out.println(s1);
System.out.println(s2);
}
}

2. Sample program to read Student roll number and name from the console and display
them (Using BufferedReader).
import java.io.*;
class ConsoleInput
{
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
{
int rollNumber;
String name;
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(System.in));
System.out.println("Enter the roll number: ");
rollNumber = Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());
System.out.println(" Enter the name: ");
name = br.readLine();
System.out.println(" Roll Number = " + rollNumber);
System.out.println(" Name = " + name);
}
}

3. Sample program to read Student roll number and name from the console and display
them (Using Scanner class).
import java.util.Scanner;
class ScannerTest{
public static void main(String args[])throws Exception
{
Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter your rollno and name :");
int rollno=sc.nextInt();
String name=sc.next();
System.out.println("Rollno:"+rollno+" Name:"+name);
sc.close();
}
}

4. Sample program to create and use packages

//A.java
package P1;
public class A {
public void display() {
System.out.println("In display of A");
}
}
//B.java
package P1.P2; //P2 is a subpackage of P1
T.Y.B.Sc (Comp. Sc.) Lab II, Sem I [Page 9]
public class B {
public void display() {
System.out.println("In display of B");
}
}
//PackageTest.java
import P1.*;
import P1.P2.*;
class PackageTest {
public static void main(String args[]){
A obj1 = new A();
obj1.display();
B obj2 = new B();
obj2.display();
}
}
Create folder P1. Save A.java in folder P1. Create folder P2 inside P1. Save B.java in P2.

Assignment 3: Inheritance and Interfaces
Objectives
To implement inheritance in java.
To define abstract classes.
To define and use interfaces.
Use predefined interfaces like Cloneable

Reading

You should read the following topics before starting this exercise:
1. Concept of inheritance.
2. Use of extends keyword.
3. Concept of abstract class.
4. Defining an interface.
5. Use of implements keyword.

Ready Reference

Inheriting a class : The syntax to create a subclass is :

class SubClassName extends SuperClassName
{
//class body
}
Example:
class Manager extends Employee
{ //code }

Types of Inheritance

Access in subclass
The following members can be accessed in a subclass:
i) public or protected superclass members.
ii) Members with no specifier if subclass is in same package.

The super keyword

It is used for three purposes:
i) Invoking superclass constructor - super(arguments)
ii) Accessing superclass members super.member
iii) Invoking superclass methods super.method(arguments)
Example:
class A
{ protected int num;
A(int num) { this.num = num; }
}

T.Y.B.Sc (Comp. Sc.) Lab II, Sem I [Page 11]

class B extends A
{
int num;
B(int a, int b) {
super(a); //should be the first line in the subclass constructor
this.num = b;
}
void display() {
System.out.println("In A, num = " + super.num);
System.out.println("In B, num = " + num);
}
}
Overriding methods
Redefining superclass methods in a subclass is called overriding. The signature of the subclass
method should be the same as the superclass method.
class A
{
void method1(int num) {
//code
}
}
class B extends A
{
void method1(int x) {
//code
}
}
Dynamic binding
When over-riding is used, the method call is resolved during run-time i.e. depending on the object
type, the corresponding method will be invoked.
Example:
A ref;
ref = new A();
ref.method1(10); //calls method of class A
ref = new B();
ref.method1(20); //calls method of class B

Abstract class
An abstract class is a class which cannot be instantiated. It is only used to create subclasses. A
class which has abstract methods must be declared abstract. An abstract class can have data
members, constructors, method definitions and method declarations.
abstract class ClassName
{
...
}

Abstract method
An abstract method is a method which has no definition. The definition is provided by the
subclass.
abstract returnType method(arguments);

Interface
An interface is a pure abstract class i.e. it has only abstract methods and final variables. An
interface can be implemented by multiple classes.
interface InterfaceName
{
//abstract methods
//final variables
}
T.Y.B.Sc (Comp. Sc.) Lab II, Sem I [Page 12]
Example:
interface MyInterface
{
void method1();
void method2();
int size= 10; //final and static
}
class MyClass implements MyInterface {
//define method1 and method2
}

Self Activity

1. Sample program to demonstrate inheritance and interfaces

interface Shape
{
double area();
}
class Circle implements Shape
{
double radius;
Circle(double radius) {
this.radius=radius;
}
public double area() {
return java.util.Math.PI * radius* radius;
}
}
class Cylinder extends Circle
{
double height;
Cylinder(double radius, double height) {
super(radius);
this.height=height;
}
public double area() //overriding
{
return java.util.Math.PI * radius* radius *height;
}
}
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Shape s;
s = new Circle(5.2);
System.out.println("Area of circle = " + s.area());
s = new Cylinder(5, 2.5);
System.out.println("Area of cylinder = " + s.area());
}
}

Lab Assignments

SET A

1. Define a class Employee having private members id, name, department, salary. Define
default and parameterized constructors. Create a subclass called Manager with private member
bonus. Define methods accept and display in both the classes. Create n objects of the Manager
class and display the details of the manager having the maximum total salary (salary+bonus)

T.Y.B.Sc (Comp. Sc.) Lab II, Sem I [Page 13]

2. Create an abstract class Shape with methods calc_area and calc_volume. Derive three classes
Sphere(radius) , Cone(radius, height) and Cylinder(radius, height), Box(length, breadth, height)
from it. Calculate area and volume of all. (Use Method overriding).

3. Write a Java program to create a super class Vehicle having members Company and price.
Derive 2 different classes LightMotorVehicle (members mileage) and HeavyMotorVehicle
(members capacity-in-tons). Accept the information for n vehicles and display the information
in appropriate form. While taking data, ask the user about the type of vehicle first.

SET B

1. Define an abstract class Staff with members name and address. Define two sub-classes of this
class FullTimeStaff (department, salary) and PartTimeStaff (number-of-hours, rate-per-
hour). Define appropriate constructors. Create n objects which could be of either FullTimeStaff
or PartTimeStaff class by asking the users choice. Display details of all FullTimeStaff objects
and all PartTimeStaff objects.

2. Create an interface CreditCardInterface with methods : viewCreditAmount(), useCard(),

payCredit() and increaseLimit(). Create a class SilverCardCustomer (name, cardnumber (16
digits), creditAmount initialized to 0, creditLimit - set to 50,000 ) which implements the above
interface. Inherit class GoldCardCustomer from SilverCardCustomer having the same methods
but creditLimit of 1,00,000. Create an object of each class and perform operations. Display
appropriate messages for success or failure of transactions. (Use method overriding)
i. useCard() method increases the creditAmount by a specific amount upto creditLimit
ii. payCredit() reduces the creditAmount by a specific amount.
iii. increaseLimit() increases the creditLimit for GoldCardCustomers (only 3 times, not more
than 5000Rs. each time)

Assignment 4: Exception Handling
Objectives
Demonstrate exception handling mechanism in java
Defining user defined exception classes

Reading

You should read the following topics before starting this exercise:
1. Concept of Exception
2. Exception class hierarchy.
3. Use of try, catch, throw, throws and finally keywords
4. Defining user defined exception classes

Ready Reference
Exception: An exception is an abnormal condition that arises in a code at run time.
When an exception occurs,
1. An object representing that exception is created.
2. The method may handle the exception itself.
3. If the method cannot handle the exception, it throws this exception object to the method
which called it.
4. The exception is caught and processed by some method or finally by the default java
exception handler.

Predefined Exception classes

Java provides a hierarchy of Exception classes which represent an exception type.
Throwable

Error Exception

Unchecked
errors RuntimeException Checked
exceptions
Unchecked
exceptions
Exception Handling keywords
Exception handling in java is managed using 5 keywords: try , catch , throw, throws,
finally
Syntax
try
{
// code that may cause an exception
}
catch (ExceptionType1 object)
{
// handle the exception
}
catch (ExceptionType2 object)
{
// handle the exception
}
finally
{
// this code is always executed
}

T.Y.B.Sc (Comp. Sc.) Lab II, Sem I [Page 15]

Example:
try
{
int a = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
...
}
catch(NumberFormatException e)
{
System.out.println(Caught ) ;
}
Note: try-catch blocks can be nested.

throw keyword:
The throw keyword is used to throw an exception object or to rethrow an exception.
throw exceptionObject;
Example:
catch(NumberFormatException e)
{
System.out.println(Caught and rethrown ) ;
throw e;
}
We can explicitly create an exception object and throw it. For example:
throw new NumberFormatException();

throws keyword:
If the method cannot handle the exception, it must declare a list of exceptions it may cause. This
list is specified using the throws keyword in the method header. All checked exceptions muct be
caught or declared.
Syntax:
returnType methodName(arguments) throws ExceptionType1
[,ExceptionType2...]
{
//method body
}
Example:
void acceptData() throws IOException
{
//code
}
Exception Types:
There are two types of Exceptions, Checked exceptions and Unchecked exceptions. Checked
exceptions must be caught or rethrown. Unchecked exceptions do not have to be caught.
Unchecked Exceptions:
Exception Meaning
ArithmeticException Arithmetic error, such as divide-by-zero.
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException Array index is out-of-bounds.
ArrayStoreException Assignment to an array element of an incompatible type.
ClassCastException Invalid cast.
IllegalArgumentException Illegal argument used to invoke a method.
IllegalMonitorStateException Illegal monitor operation, such as waiting on an unlocked
thread.
IllegalStateException Environment or application is in incorrect state.
IllegalThreadStateException Requested operation not compatible with current thread
state.
IndexOutOfBoundsException Some type of index is out-of-bounds.
NegativeArraySizeException Array created with a negative size.
NullPointerException Invalid use of a null reference.
T.Y.B.Sc (Comp. Sc.) Lab II, Sem I [Page 16]
 NumberFormatException Invalid conversion of a string to a numeric format.
SecurityException Attempt to violate security.
StringIndexOutOfBounds Attempt to index outside the bounds of a string.
UnsupportedOperationException An unsupported operation was encountered.
Checked Exceptions:

Exception Meaning
ClassNotFoundException Class not found.
CloneNotSupportedException Attempt to clone an object that does not implement the
Cloneable interface.
IllegalAccessException Access to a class is denied.
InstantiationException Attempt to create an object of an abstract class or interface.
InterruptedException One thread has been interrupted by another thread.
NoSuchFieldException A requested field does not exist.
NoSuchMethodException A requested method does not exist.

User Defined Exceptions:

A user defined exception class can be created by extending the Exception class.
class UserDefinedException extends Exception
{
//code
}
When that exception situation occurs, an object of this exception class can be created and thrown.
For example, if we are accepting an integer whose valid values are only positive, then we can
throw an InvalidNumberException for any negative value entered.
class NegativeNumberException extends Exception
{
NegativeNumberException(int n){
System.out.println("Negative input " + n);
}
}
...
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int num = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
if( num < 0)
throw new NegativeNumberException(num);
else
//process num
}

Assignment 5: I/O and File Handling
Objectives
Performing Input/Output operations using console and files.

Reading

You should read the following topics before starting this exercise:
1. Concept of streams
2. Types of streams
3. Byte and Character stream classes.
4. The File class

Ready Reference

java.io.File class

This class supports a platform-independent definition of file and directory names. It also
provides methods to list the files in a directory, to check the existence, readability, writeability,
type, size, and modification time of files and directories, to make new directories, to rename files
and directories, and to delete files and directories.
Constructors:
public File(String path);
public File(String path, String name);
public File(File dir, String name);
Example
File f1=new File(/home/java/a.txt);
Methods
1. boolean canRead()- Returns True if the file is readable.
2. boolean canWrite()- Returns True if the file is writeable.
3. String getName()- Returns the name of the File with any directory names omitted.
4. boolean exists()- Returns true if file exists
5. String getAbsolutePath()- Returns the complete filename. Otherwise, if the File is a
relative file specification, it returns the relative filename appended to the current working
directory.
6. String getParent()- Returns the directory of the File. If the File is an absolute
specification.
7. String getPath()- Returns the full name of the file, including the directory name.
8. boolean isDirectory()- Returns true if File Object is a directory
9. boolean isFile()- Returns true if File Object is a file
10. long lastModified()- Returns the modification time of the file (which should be used for
comparison with other file times only, and not interpreted as any particular time format).
11. long length()- Returns the length of the file.
12. boolean delete()- deletes a file or directory. Returns true after successful deletion of a
file.
13. boolean mkdir ()- Creates a directory.
14. boolean renameTo (File dest)- Renames a file or directory. Returns true after successful
renaming

T.Y.B.Sc (Comp. Sc.) Lab II, Sem I [Page 19]

Example 1:- Checking file existance
import java.io.File;
class FileTest
{
public static void main(String args[ ])
{
File f1=new File ("data.txt");
if (f1.exists())
System.out.println ("File Exists");
else
System.out.println ("File Does Not Exists");
}
}
Directories
A directory is a File that contains a list of other files & directories. When you create a File object
& it is a directory, the isDirectory() method will return true. In this case list method can be used to
extract the list of other files & directories inside.
The forms of list() method is-
public String[ ] list()
public String[ ] list(FilenameFilter filter)
Example :- Using a list( )
String dirname="/javaprg/demo";
File f1=new File (dirname);
if (f1.isDirectory())
{
String s[]= f1.list();
for (int i=0; i<s.length; i++)
{
File f=new File (dirname+"/"+s[i]);
if (f.isDirectory())
System.out.println(s[i]+ " is a directory");
else
System.out.println(s[i]+ " is a File");
}
}
Streams
A stream is a sequence of bytes. When writing data to a stream, the stream is called an output
stream. When reading data from a stream, the stream is called an input stream. If a stream has a
buffer in memory, it is a buffered stream. Binary Streams contain binary data. Character Streams
have character data and are used for storing and retrieving text.

The two main types of Streams are ByteStream and CharacterStream.

ByteStream CharacterStream

InputStream OutputStream Reader Writer

There are four top level abstract stream classes: InputStream, OutputStream, Reader, and Writer.
1. InputStream. A stream to read binary data.
2. OutputStream. A stream to write binary data.
3. Reader. A stream to read characters.
4. Writer. A stream to write characters.
T.Y.B.Sc (Comp. Sc.) Lab II, Sem I [Page 20]
ByteStream Classes

a. InputStream Methods-

1. int read ()- Returns an integer representation of next available byte of input.-1 is returned at
the stream end.
2. int read (byte buffer[ ])- Read up to buffer.length bytes into buffer & returns actual number
of bytes that are read. At the end returns 1.
3. int read(byte buffer[ ], int offset, int numbytes)- Attempts to read up to numbytes bytes
into buffer starting at buffer[offset]. Returns actual number of bytes that are read. At the end
returns 1.
4. void close()- to close the input stream
5. void mark(int numbytes)- places a mark at current point in input stream & remain valid till
number of bytes are read.
6. void reset()- Resets pointer to previously set mark/ goes back to stream beginning.
7. long skip(long numbytes)- skips number of bytes.
8. int available()- Returns number of bytes currently available for reading.

b. OutputStream Methods-

1. void close() - to close the OutputStream

2. void write (int b) - Writes a single byte to an output stream.
3. void write(byte buffer[ ]) - Writes a complete array of bytes to an output stream.
4. void write (byte buffer[ ], int offset, int numbytes) - Writes a sub range of numbytes bytes
from the array buffer, beginning at buffer[offset].
5. void flush() - clears the buffer.

The following table lists the Byte Stream classes

Stream Class Meaning
BufferedInputStream Buffered input stream
BufferedOutputStream Buffered output stream
ByteArrayInputStream Input stream that reads from a byte array
ByteArrayOutputStream Output stream that writes to a byte array
DataInputStream An input stream that contains methods for reading the
Java standard data types
DataOutputStream An output stream that contains methods for writing the
Java standard data types
FileInputStream Input stream that reads from a file
FileOutputStream Output stream that writes to a file
FilterInputStream Implements InputStream
FilterOutputStream Implements OutputStream
InputStream Abstract class that describes stream input
OutputStream Abstract class that describes stream output
PipedInputStream Input pipe
PipedOutputStream Output pipe

RandomAccessFile
Random access files permit nonsequential, or random, access to a file's contents. To access a file
randomly, you open the file, seek a particular location, and read from or write to that file. When
T.Y.B.Sc (Comp. Sc.) Lab II, Sem I [Page 22]
opening a file using a RandomAccessFile, you can choose whether to open it read-only or read
write

RandomAccessFile (File file, String mode) throws FileNotFoundException

RandomAccessFile (String filePath, String mode) throws FileNotFoundExcep
tion
The value of mode can be one of these:
"r" Open for reading only.
"rw" Open for reading and writing.
Methods:
1. position Returns the current position
2. position(long) Sets the position
3. read(ByteBuffer) Reads bytes into the buffer from the stream
4. write(ByteBffer) Writes bytes from the buffer to the stream
5. truncate(long) Truncates the file (or other entity) connected to the stream
Example:
File f = new File("data.dat");
//Open the file for both reading and writing
RandomAccessFile rand = new RandomAccessFile(f,"rw");
rand.seek(f.length()); //Seek to end of file
rand.writeBytes("Append this line at the end"); //Write end of file
rand.close();
System.out.println("Write-Successful");

Ready Reference

Graphical User Interface elements are implemented in two java packages AWT and Swing.
Swing is the newer package and swing classes are based on AWT classes.

Swing Architecture:
The design of the Swing component classes is based on the Model-View-Controller architecture,
or MVC.
1. The model stores the data.
2. The view creates the visual representation from the data in the model.
3. The controller deals with user interaction and modifies the model and/or the view.

Swing Classes:
The following table lists some important Swing classes and their description.

Class Description
Box Container that uses a BoxLayout

8. Dialog Boxes
Types-
1. Modal- wont let the user interact with the remaining windows of application until
first deals with it. Ex- when user wants to read a file, user must specify file name
before prg. can begin read operation.
2. Modeless dialog box- Lets the user enters information in both, the dialog box &
remainder of application ex- toolbar.

Swing has a JOptionPane class, that lets you put a simple dialog box.
Methods in JOption Class
1. static void showMessageDialog()- Shows a message with ok button.
2. static int showConfirmDialog()- shows a message & gets users options from set
of options.
3. static int showOptionDialog- shows a message & get users options from set of
options.
4. String showInputDialog()- shows a message with one line of user input.

9. Menu

Creating and Setting Up Menu Bars

Constructor or Method Purpose
JMenuBar() Creates a menu bar.
JMenu add(JMenu) Creates a menu bar.
void setJMenuBar(JMenuBar) Sets or gets the menu bar of an applet, dialog, frame,
JMenuBar getJMenuBar() internal frame, or root pane.

Creating and Populating Menus

JMenu() Creates a menu. The string specifies the text to display
JMenu(String) for the menu.
Adds a menu item to the current end of the menu. If the
JMenuItem add(JMenuItem) argument is an Action object, then the menu creates a
JMenuItem add(Action) menu item. If the argument is a string, then the menu
JMenuItem add(String) automatically creates a JMenuItem object that displays
the specified text.
void addSeparator() Adds a separator to the current end of the menu.
Inserts a menu item or separator into the menu at the
JMenuItem insert(JMenuItem, int)
specified position. The first menu item is at position 0,
JMenuItem insert(Action, int)
the second at position 1, and so on. The JMenuItem,
void insert(String, int)
Action, and String arguments are treated the same as in
void insertSeparator(int)
the corresponding add methods.
void remove(JMenuItem) Removes the specified item(s) from the menu. If the
void remove(int) argument is an integer, then it specifies the position of
void removeAll() the menu item to be removed.

Implementing Menu Items

Creates an ordinary menu item. The icon argument, if
present, specifies the icon that the menu item should
JMenuItem()
display. Similarly, the string argument specifies the
JMenuItem(String)
text that the menu item should display. The integer
JMenuItem(Icon)
argument specifies the keyboard mnemonic to use. You
JMenuItem(String, Icon)
can specify any of the relevant VK constants defined in
JMenuItem(String, int)
the KeyEvent class. For example, to specify the A
key, use KeyEvent.VK_A.
JCheckBoxMenuItem()
Creates a menu item that looks and acts like a check
JCheckBoxMenuItem(String)
box. The string argument, if any, specifies the text that
JCheckBoxMenuItem(Icon)
the menu item should display. If you specify true for
JCheckBoxMenuItem(String, Icon)
the boolean argument, then the menu item is initially
JCheckBoxMenuItem(String, boolean)
selected (checked). Otherwise, the menu item is
JCheckBoxMenuItem(String, Icon,
initially unselected.
boolean)
JRadioButtonMenuItem()
JRadioButtonMenuItem(String) Creates a menu item that looks and acts like a radio
JRadioButtonMenuItem(Icon) button. The string argument, if any, specifies the text
JRadioButtonMenuItem(String, Icon) that the menu item should display. If you specify true
JRadioButtonMenuItem(String, boolean) for the boolean argument, then the menu item is
JRadioButtonMenuItem(Icon, boolean) initially selected. Otherwise, the menu item is initially
JRadioButtonMenuItem(String, Icon, unselected.
boolean)
void setState(boolean)
boolean getState() Set or get the selection state of a check box menu item.
(in JCheckBoxMenuItem)

T.Y.B.Sc (Comp. Sc.) Lab II, Sem I [Page 32]

 If the argument is true, enable the menu item.
void setEnabled(boolean)
Otherwise, disable the menu item.

Event handling is an important part of GUI based applications. Events are generated by event
sources. A mouse click, Window closed, key typed etc. are examples of events.
All java events are sub-classes of java.awt.AWTEvent class.

Java has two types of events:

1. Low-Level Events: Low-level events represent direct communication from user. A low level
event is a key press or a key release, a mouse click, drag, move or release, and so on.
Following are low level events.

Event Description
ComponentEvent Indicates that a component object (e.g. Button, List, TextField) is moved, resized,
rendered invisible or made visible again.
FocusEvent Indicates that a component has gained or lost the input focus.
KeyEvent Generated by a component object (such as TextField) when a key is pressed,
released or typed.
MouseEvent Indicates that a mouse action occurred in a component. E.g. mouse is pressed,
releases, clicked (pressed and released), moved or dragged.
ContainerEvent Indicates that a containers contents are changed because a component was added
or removed.
WindowEvent Indicates that a window has changed its status. This low level event is generated
by a Window object when it is opened, closed, activated, deactivated, iconified,
deiconified or when focus is transferred into or out of the Window.

2. High-Level Events: High-level (also called as semantic events) events encapsulate the
meaning of a user interface component. These include following events.

Event Description
ActionEvent Indicates that a component-defined action occurred. This high-level event is
generated by a component (such as Button) when the component-specific action
occurs (such as being pressed).
AdjustmentEvent The adjustment event is emitted by Adjustable objects like scrollbars.
ItemEvent Indicates that an item was selected or deselected. This high-level event is
generated by an ItemSelectable object (such as a List) when an item is selected or
deselected by the user.
TextEvent Indicates that an objects text changed. This high-level event is generated by an
object (such as TextComponent) when its text changes.

The following table lists the events, their corresponding listeners and the method to add the
listener to the component.
Event Event Source Event Listener Method to add listener to
event source
Low-level Events
ComponentEvent Component ComponentListener addComponentListener()
FocusEvent Component FocusListener addFocusListener()
KeyEvent Component KeyListener addKeyListener()
MouseEvent Component MouseListener addMouseListener()

Adapter Classes:

All high level listeners contain only one method to handle the high-level events. But most low level
event listeners are designed to listen to multiple event subtypes (i.e. the MouseListener listens to
mouse-down, mouse-up, mouse-enter, etc.). AWT provides a set of abstract adapter classes, which
implements each listener interface. These allow programs to easily subclass the Adapters and override
only the methods representing event types they are interested in, instead of implementing all methods
in listener interfaces.

The Adapter classes provided by AWT are as follows:

java.awt.event.ComponenentAdapter java.awt.event.ContainerAdapter
java.awt.event.FocusAdapter java.awt.event.KeyAdapter
java.awt.event.MouseAdapter java.awt.event.MouseMotionAdapter
java.awt.event.WindowAdapter

Applet

Applets are small java programs which are executed and displayed in a java compatible web browser.

Creating an applet
All applets are subclasses of the java.applet.Applet class. You can also create an applet by extending
the javax.swing.JApplet class. The syntax is:

class MyApplet extends Applet

{
//applet methods
}

T.Y.B.Sc (Comp. Sc.) Lab II, Sem I [Page 35]

Applet methods:
Method Purpose
init( ) Automatically called to perform initialization of the applet. Executed only once.
Called every time the applet moves into sight on the Web browser to allow the applet
start( )
to start up its normal operations.
Called every time the applet moves out of sight on the Web browser to allow the applet
stop( )
to shut off expensive operations.
Called when the applet is being unloaded from the page to perform final release of
destroy( )
resources when the applet is no longer used
paint() Called each time the applets output needs to be redrawn.

Running an applet
1. Compile the applet code using javac
2. Use the java tool appletviewer to view the applet (embed the APPLET tag in comments
in the code)
3. Use the APPLET tag in an HTML page and load the applet in a browser

Using appletviewer:
1. Write the HTML APPLET tag in comments in the source file.
2. Compile the applet source code using javac.
3. Use appletviewer ClassName.class to view the applet.
Using browser:
1. Create an HTML file containing the APPLET tag.
2. Compile the applet source code using javac.
3. In the web browser, open the HTML file.

The APPLET tag

< APPLET
[CODEBASE = appletURL]
CODE = appletClassFile
[ALT = alternateText]
[ARCHIVE = archiveFile]
[NAME = appletInstanceName]
WIDTH = pixels
HEIGHT = pixels
[ALIGN = alignment]
[VSPACE = pixels]
[HSPACE = pixels]
>
[< PARAM NAME = AttributeName VALUE = AttributeValue />]
</APPLET>

Attribute Value Meaning

align left Specifies the alignment of an applet according to
right surrounding elements
top
bottom
middle
baseline
alt text Specifies an alternate text for an applet
archive URL Specifies the location of an archive file

T.Y.B.Sc (Comp. Sc.) Lab II, Sem I [Page 36]

code URL Specifies the file name of a Java applet
codebase URL Specifies a relative base URL for applets specified in the
code attribute
height pixels Specifies the height of an applet
hspace pixels Defines the horizontal spacing around an applet
name name Defines the name for an applet (to use in scripts)
vspace pixels Defines the vertical spacing around an applet
width pixels Specifies the width of an applet
The mandatory attributes are CODE, HEIGHT and WIDTH.

Examples:
1. <applet code=MyApplet width=200 height=200 archive="files.jar">
</applet>
2. <applet code=Simple.class width=100 height=200 codebase=example/>
</applet>

Passing parameters to applets

The PARAM tag allows us to pass information to an applet when it starts running.
A parameter is a NAME VALUE pair. Every parameter is identified by a name and it has a
value.
< PARAM NAME = AttributeName VALUE = AttributeValue />

Example:
<APPLET NAME = "MyApplet.class" WIDTH = 100 HEIGHT = 100>
<PARAM NAME = "ImageSource" VALUE = "project/images/">
<PARAM NAME = "BackgroundColor" VALUE = "0xc0c0c0">
<PARAM NAME = "FontColor" VALUE = "Red">
</APPLET>

The Applet can retrieve information about the parameters using the getParameter() method.
String getParameter(String parameterName);
Example:
String dirName = getParameter(ImageSource);
Color c = new Color( Integer.parseInt(getParameter(BackgroundColor)));

paint(), repaint() and update()

The paint() method redraws the applet. The repaint() method is used to force redrawing of the
applet. The update() method redraws only a portion of the applet.
