How do I create a Data Source object for JdbcTemplate?

In this example you will learn how to create and configure a DriverManagerDataSource object that will be used by the JdbcTemplate object. There are some information required when creating a DataSource including the JDBC driver class, the JDBC Url of the target database, the username and password for connecting to database server.

package org.kodejava.spring.jdbc;

import org.springframework.jdbc.core.JdbcTemplate;
import org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource;

import javax.sql.DataSource;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;

public class DataSourceDemo {
    public static final String DRIVER = "com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver";
    public static final String JDBC_URL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/musicdb";
    public static final String USERNAME = "root";
    public static final String PASSWORD = "";

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Creates an instance of DriverManagerDataSource and pass
        // it to the JdbcTemplate.
        DataSource source = getDataSource();
        JdbcTemplate template = new JdbcTemplate(source);

        // After creating a template with a data source inject we
        // can do a database manipulation such as the CRUD operation.
        System.out.println("DataSource = " + template.getDataSource());
        List<Map<String, Object>> records = template.queryForList("SELECT * FROM record");
        for (Map<String, Object> record : records) {
            System.out.println("Records = " + record);
        }
    }

    /**
     * Returns a DataSource object for connection to the database.
     *
     * @return a DataSource.
     */
    private static DataSource getDataSource() {
        // Creates a new instance of DriverManagerDataSource and sets
        // the required parameters such as the Jdbc Driver class,
        // Jdbc URL, database username and password.
        DriverManagerDataSource dataSource = new DriverManagerDataSource();
        dataSource.setDriverClassName(DataSourceDemo.DRIVER);
        dataSource.setUrl(DataSourceDemo.JDBC_URL);
        dataSource.setUsername(DataSourceDemo.USERNAME);
        dataSource.setPassword(DataSourceDemo.PASSWORD);
        return dataSource;
    }
}

How do I get the selected nodes of a JTree?

The following example show how to use the JTree.getSelectionPaths() method to get the selected node of a JTree component. This method returns an array of TreePath objects. In the case to get the last node in the path we can call the TreePath.getLastPathComponent().

In the code below when you pressed the button the listener gets the selection paths and print out the last path component of the selected nodes.

package org.kodejava.swing;

import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.tree.DefaultMutableTreeNode;
import javax.swing.tree.TreePath;

        for (String country : countries) {
            DefaultMutableTreeNode node = new DefaultMutableTreeNode(country);
            asia.add(node);
        }

        DefaultMutableTreeNode northAmerica = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("North America");
        countries = new String[]{"United States", "Canada"};
        for (String country : countries) {
            DefaultMutableTreeNode node = new DefaultMutableTreeNode(country);
            northAmerica.add(node);
        }

        JButton button = new JButton("Get Selected");
        button.addActionListener(e -> {
            TreePath[] paths = tree.getSelectionPaths();
            for (TreePath path : paths != null ? paths : new TreePath[0]) {
                System.out.println("You've selected: " + path.getLastPathComponent());
            }
        });

How do I change JTree default icons?

The program below demonstrate how to change the default icons of a JTree component. We can change tree icons of the component which are the closed icon, the open icon and the leaf icon.

package org.kodejava.swing;

import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.tree.DefaultMutableTreeNode;
import javax.swing.tree.DefaultTreeCellRenderer;

    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(() -> new JTreeChangeIcon().setVisible(true));
    }

    private void intializeUI() {
        setSize(500, 500);
        setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

        DefaultMutableTreeNode root = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("Address Book");
        DefaultMutableTreeNode a = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("A");
        DefaultMutableTreeNode b = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("B");
        DefaultMutableTreeNode c = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("C");

        DefaultMutableTreeNode aContact = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("Alice");
        DefaultMutableTreeNode bContact = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("Bob");
        DefaultMutableTreeNode cContact = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("Carol");

        root.add(a);
        root.add(b);
        root.add(c);

        a.add(aContact);
        b.add(bContact);
        c.add(cContact);

        JTree tree = new JTree(root);

        // Change the default JTree icons
        DefaultTreeCellRenderer renderer = (DefaultTreeCellRenderer) tree.getCellRenderer();
        Icon closedIcon = new ImageIcon(Objects.requireNonNull(
                this.getClass().getResource("/images/lightbulb_off.png")));
        Icon openIcon = new ImageIcon(Objects.requireNonNull(

        Icon leafIcon = new ImageIcon(Objects.requireNonNull(
                this.getClass().getResource("/images/lightning.png")));
        renderer.setClosedIcon(closedIcon);
        renderer.setOpenIcon(openIcon);
        renderer.setLeafIcon(leafIcon);

        JScrollPane pane = new JScrollPane(tree);
        pane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500, 500));

        getContentPane().add(tree);
    }
}

How do I remove JTree default icons?

You can remove JTree default icons by modifying the tree cell renderer object. To get the cell renderer call the JTree.getCellRenderer() which will return a DefaultTreeCellRenderer object. Then you can remove the icon by setting a null value to the setLeafIcon(), setClosedIcon() and setOpenIcon().

package org.kodejava.swing;

import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.tree.DefaultMutableTreeNode;
import javax.swing.tree.DefaultTreeCellRenderer;
import java.awt.*;

public class JTreeRemoveIcon extends JFrame {
    public JTreeRemoveIcon() throws HeadlessException {
        initializeUI();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(() -> new JTreeRemoveIcon().setVisible(true));
    }

    private void initializeUI() {
        setSize(500, 500);
        setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

        DefaultMutableTreeNode root = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("Address Book");
        DefaultMutableTreeNode a = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("A");
        DefaultMutableTreeNode b = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("B");
        DefaultMutableTreeNode c = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("C");

        DefaultMutableTreeNode aContact = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("Alice");
        DefaultMutableTreeNode bContact = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("Bob");
        DefaultMutableTreeNode cContact = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("Carol");

        root.add(a);
        root.add(b);
        root.add(c);

        a.add(aContact);
        b.add(bContact);
        c.add(cContact);

        JTree tree = new JTree(root);

        // Remove default JTree icons

How do I sort LinkedList elements?

To sort the elements of LinkedList we can use the Collections.sort(List<T> list) static methods. The default order of the sorting is a descending order.

package org.kodejava.util;

import java.util.LinkedList;
import java.util.Collections;

public class LinkedListSort {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        LinkedList<String> grades = new LinkedList<>();
        grades.add("E");
        grades.add("C");
        grades.add("A");
        grades.add("F");
        grades.add("B");
        grades.add("D");

        System.out.println("Before sorting:");
        System.out.println("===============");
        for (String grade : grades) {
            System.out.println("Grade = " + grade);
        }

        // Sort the elements of linked list based on its data
        // natural order.
        Collections.sort(grades);

        System.out.println("After sorting:");
        System.out.println("===============");
        for (String grade : grades) {
            System.out.println("Grade = " + grade);
        }
    }
}

The result of the program are:

Before sorting:
===============
Grade = E
Grade = C
Grade = A
Grade = F
Grade = B
Grade = D
After sorting:
===============
Grade = A
Grade = B
Grade = C
Grade = D
Grade = E
Grade = F

How do I get the first and the last element of a LinkedList?

The get the first element we can use the LinkedList.getFirst() method and to get the last element we can use the LinkedList.getLast() method.

package org.kodejava.util;

import java.util.LinkedList;

public class LinkedListGetFirstLast {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        LinkedList<String> names = new LinkedList<>();
        names.add("Alice");
        names.add("Bob");
        names.add("Carol");
        names.add("Mallory");

        // Get the first and the last element of the linked list
        String first = names.getFirst();
        String last = names.getLast();

        System.out.println("First member = " + first);
        System.out.println("Last member  = " + last);
    }
}

The program will print the following result:

First member = Alice
Last member  = Mallory
