Java: Compare 2 dates

import java.util.Date;

public class CompareDate {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      Date dt2 = new Date("7/26/2004");
      Date dt3 = new Date("7/25/2004");

      if (dt2.compareTo(dt3) > 0) {
         System.out.println("dt2>dt3");
      } else {
         System.out.println("dt3<=dt2");
      }
   }
}

Java: Check server response

Java Version 1.4

try
{
   java.net.Socket s = new Socket();
   s.connect(new InetSocketAddress("192.168.0.157", 7777), 1000);
   s.close();
   System.out.println("Success");
}catch (Exception ex){
   System.out.println("Error : " + ex.getMessage());
   // failed
   // do redirect
}

Java Version 1.3

try{
   java.net.Socket s = new Socket(host, port);
   s.close();
}catch (Exception ex){
   // failed
   // do redirect
}

Java: Cast ArrayList to Array

import java.util.ArrayList;

public class CastAryListToArray {
   public static void main(String arg[]){
   //How to cast ArrayList to Array
   //The following code will store arraylist value into array:
   ArrayList al = new ArrayList();
   al.add("a");
   al.add("b");
   al.add("c");
   String XAxisValue[] = new String[al.size()];
   al.toArray(XAxisValue);
   
   for(int i=0;i<XAxisValue.length;i++){
      System.out.println("XAxisValue["+i+"] = " + XAxisValue[i]);
   }
 }
}
 

Java: Call an Oracle Stored Procedure

/*

* This sample shows how to call a PL/SQL stored procedure using the SQL92

* syntax.

*/

import java.sql.*;
import java.io.*;

class PLSQLExample {
public static void main(String args[]) throws SQLException, IOException {
// Load the driver
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());

// Connect to the database
// You can put a database name after the @ sign in the connection URL.
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@192.168.0.157:1521:mydb",
"scott", "tiger");

// Create a statement
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();

// Create the stored function
stmt.execute("create or replace function RAISESAL (name CHAR, raise NUMBER)return
NUMBER is begin return raise + 100000; end;");

// Close the statement
stmt.close();

// Prepare to call the stored procedure RAISESAL.
// This sample uses the SQL92 syntax
CallableStatement cstmt = conn.prepareCall("{? = call RAISESAL (?, ?)}");

// Declare that the first ? is a return value of type Int
cstmt.registerOutParameter(1, Types.INTEGER);

// We want to raise LESLIE's salary by 20,000
cstmt.setString(2, "LESLIE");

// The name argument is the second ?
cstmt.setInt(3, 20000);

// The raise argument is the third ?
// Do the raise
cstmt.execute();

// Get the new salary back
int new_salary = cstmt.getInt(1);
System.out.println("The new salary is: " + new_salary);

// Close the statement
cstmt.close();

// Close the connection
conn.close();
}
}

Java: 2D Array Declaration

//2D Array declaration
int array1[][] = new int [2][2];

//2D Array assignment
array1[0][0] = 1;
array1[0][1] = 2;
array1[1][0] = 3;
array1[1][1] = 4;

//Print 2D Array
for(int i=0;i<2;i++){
for(int j=0;j<2;j++){
System.out.println(array1[i][j]);
}
}
