How do I create a NIO Buffer?

By I Wayan Saryada in Core API, IO 0 Comment

This post show you how to use the java.nio buffer such as ByteBuffer, CharBuffer, DoubleBuffer, etc. To create a buffer you can use the allocate(int capacity) method. Each buffer object has the allocate(int capacity) method. You need to pass the value of the capacity of the buffer to be created when calling this method.

package org.kodejava.io;

import java.nio.*;

public class BufferAllocate {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ByteBuffer byteBuffer = ByteBuffer.allocate(64);
        CharBuffer charBuffer = CharBuffer.allocate(64);
        ShortBuffer shortBuffer = ShortBuffer.allocate(64);
        IntBuffer intBuffer = IntBuffer.allocate(64);
        LongBuffer longBuffer = LongBuffer.allocate(64);
        FloatBuffer floatBuffer = FloatBuffer.allocate(64);
        DoubleBuffer doubleBuffer = DoubleBuffer.allocate(64);
    }
}

How do I copy file using FileChannel class?

By I Wayan Saryada in Core API, IO 2 Comments

The example below show you how to copy a file using the java.nio.channels.FileChannel class.

package org.kodejava.io;

import java.io.*;
import java.nio.channels.FileChannel;

public class FileCopy {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        //// Define the source and target file
        File source = new File("D:/Temp/source.txt");
        File target = new File("D:/Temp/target.txt");

        // Create the source and target channel
        try (FileChannel sourceChannel = new FileInputStream(source).getChannel();
             FileChannel targetChannel = new FileOutputStream(target).getChannel()) {

            // Copy data from the source channel into the target channel
            targetChannel.transferFrom(sourceChannel, 0, sourceChannel.size());
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

How do I create zip file in Servlet for download?

By I Wayan Saryada in Servlet 15 Comments

The example below is a servlet that shows you how to create a zip file and send the generated zip file for user to download. The compressing process is done by the zipFiles method of this class.

For a servlet to work you need to configure it in the web.xml file of your web application which can be found after the code snippet below.

package org.kodejava.servlet;

import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.ServletOutputStream;
import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.zip.ZipEntry;
import java.util.zip.ZipOutputStream;

@WebServlet(urlPatterns = "/zipservlet")
public class ZipDownloadServlet extends HttpServlet {
    public static final String FILE_SEPARATOR = System.getProperty("file.separator");

    protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
            throws ServletException, IOException {
        doGet(request, response);
    }

    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
            throws ServletException, IOException {
        try {
            // The path below is the root directory of data to be
            // compressed.
            String path = getServletContext().getRealPath("data");

            File directory = new File(path);
            String[] files = directory.list();

            // Checks to see if the directory contains some files.
            if (files != null && files.length > 0) {

                // Call the zipFiles method for creating a zip stream.
                byte[] zip = zipFiles(directory, files);

                // Sends the response back to the user / browser. The
                // content for zip file type is "application/zip". We
                // also set the content disposition as attachment for
                // the browser to show a dialog that will let user 
                // choose what action will he do to the content.
                ServletOutputStream sos = response.getOutputStream();
                response.setContentType("application/zip");
                response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"DATA.ZIP\"");

                sos.write(zip);
                sos.flush();
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    /**
     * Compress the given directory with all its files.
     */
    private byte[] zipFiles(File directory, String[] files) throws IOException {
        try (ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
             ZipOutputStream zos = new ZipOutputStream(baos)) {
            byte[] bytes = new byte[2048];

            for (String fileName : files) {
                String path = directory.getPath() +
                        ZipDownloadServlet.FILE_SEPARATOR + fileName;
                try (FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(path);
                     BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(fis)) {

                    zos.putNextEntry(new ZipEntry(fileName));

                    int bytesRead;
                    while ((bytesRead = bis.read(bytes)) != -1) {
                        zos.write(bytes, 0, bytesRead);
                    }
                    zos.closeEntry();
                }
            }

            zos.close();
            return baos.toByteArray();
        }
    }
}

How do I create a console progress bar?

By I Wayan Saryada in Core API, Lang Package 1 Comment

The code below demonstrates how to create a progress bar in a console program. The trick is to print the progress status using a System.out.print() and add a carriage return character ("\r") at the end of the string to return the cursor position to the beginning of the line and print the next progress status.

package org.kodejava.lang;

public class ConsoleProgressBar {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        char[] animationChars = new char[]{'|', '/', '-', '\\'};

        for (int i = 0; i <= 100; i++) {
            System.out.print("Processing: " + i + "% " + animationChars[i % 4] + "\r");

            try {
                Thread.sleep(200);
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }

        System.out.println("Processing: Done!");
    }
}

How do I calculate process execution time in higher resolution?

By I Wayan Saryada in Core API, Lang Package 0 Comment

This example demonstrates how to use the System.nanoTime() method to calculate processing execution time in higher resolution. The processing time calculated in nanoseconds resolution.

package org.kodejava.lang;

public class NanoSecondsTimerResolution {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Get process execution start time in nanoseconds.
        long start = System.nanoTime();
        System.out.println("Process start... " + start);

        try {
            Thread.sleep(5000); // Simulate a long process.
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        // Get process execution finish time in nanoseconds.
        long finish = System.nanoTime();
        System.out.println("Process finish... " + finish);

        // Calculate the process execution time.
        long execTime = finish - start;
        System.out.println("Processing time = " + execTime + "(ns)");
    }
}
