[Binari] EEE PC 900

So... some geeky stuff. I told some of you I really wanted one of those tiny laptops, without spending too much.. So in the end I got ... http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/index.php/taxid;2136212930;pid;5507;pt;1 For 300€ in the Macro, if anybody was wondering. You can get it with Linux as well (though probably not in the Macro), and then you will get a 20 GB hard drive, instead of 12 GB. Both versions should cost the same (300€), but they just put in more memory in the Linux one because they could save on licensing information. I wasn't aware of the Linux one when buying the Windows (XP) one, but don't really care, I still like to be able to open .doc and .excell properly :p (and I don't think running vmware is an option on this thing) Anyway... even though I only just got it, and haven't been able to play with it properly yet (away for the weekend), I've already fallen in love with it :-) From now on, it will probably travel with me whenever I go on a conference :-) End of message.

Hi, it's a fading tradition. But I refuse to let it go and say it's a failed attempt at a tradition. I've got no food for this noon, so I have to get fries ;) Who's in this time? I can go again if someone will join (I've got to exchange a big note of 50e.) -K\u20acnny (pasting a eurosign seems to really mess up my terminal ;)) -- ================================================================== Kenny Billiau Web Developer Tel:+32 (0)9 331 36 95 fax:+32 (0)9 3313809 VIB Department of Plant Systems Biology, Ghent University Technologiepark 927, 9052 Gent, BELGIUM kenny.billiau(a)psb.ugent.be http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be ==================================================================

[Binari] Java troubles
by Michiel Van Bel 20 Nov '08

Hey all, I've got some problems, and I was wondering if any of you had encountered something similar before (and have a solution). I've got to use an applet from another website (http://www.phylosoft.org/atv/examples/apaf.html) I've copied the jar-file to our webserver, but it isn't working. Apparently there is something wrong with the localization of the SAXParser. I find this highly weird, because normally the server should not be able to dictate the client were to find class-files. To test this, i just wrote a test-case applet which does 1 thing: execute SAXParserFactory.newInstance(); This class was then packed in a jar, and placed on our webserver. I then tested this with the appletviewer utility of sun: U:\workspace\PLAZA\src>appletviewer -J-Djaxp.debug=1 applet.html ATVapplet: URL of tree to load: "http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be/readwrite/plaza_tmp/tests/trees/apaf.xml" [Your Java version: 1.6.0] trying to detect output measurements filename to load: /readwrite/plaza_tmp/tests/trees/apaf.xml JAXP: find factoryId =javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory JAXP: found jar resource=META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory using ClassLoader: sun.applet.AppletClassLoader@14a9972 JAXP: found in resource, value=<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: IllegalName: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> at java.lang.ClassLoader.preDefineClass(ClassLoader.java:476) at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:614) at java.security.SecureClassLoader.defineClass(SecureClassLoader.java:124) at sun.applet.AppletClassLoader.findClass(AppletClassLoader.java:178) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:306) at sun.applet.AppletClassLoader.loadClass(AppletClassLoader.java:127) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:251) at javax.xml.parsers.FactoryFinder.getProviderClass(FactoryFinder.java:115) at javax.xml.parsers.FactoryFinder.newInstance(FactoryFinder.java:146) at javax.xml.parsers.FactoryFinder.findJarServiceProvider(FactoryFinder.java:294) at javax.xml.parsers.FactoryFinder.find(FactoryFinder.java:221) at javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory.newInstance(SAXParserFactory.java:128) at test.TestApplet.init(TestApplet.java:49) at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(AppletPanel.java:417) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619) So, when we look at this website : http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/xml/parsers/SAXParserFactory.ht… we see that this newInstance()-method does a shitload of things.Not really understandable in my opinion. The thing is though, apparently this SAXParserFactory tries to interpret html-headers as ClassNames.... :-( Anyway, I still dont understand how executing the SAXParserFactory can be dependent on the server... I though applets were client-side only :s I've done some googeling, but haven't found out yet what is exactly causing this. Anyone has an idea?
