1.0 INTRODUCTION
In this section of lab course you will have hands on experience on Java Programming. This section is based on course MCS024: Object Oriented Technology and Java Programming. Before getting into problem solving using java you will learn that how java programs are compiled and executed (interpreted). What are the basic requirements for java programming? You will learn writing of both categories of java programs: Java Applications and Java Applets, in this section. A list of programming problems is given session wise at the end of this section.

1.1 OBJECTIVES
After completing this lab section, you will be able to: Use Javas basic data types in your programs Writ Java programs using Sequential, Conditional and iterative statements Handle arrays of fixed and variable size Creating Classes and Objects using Java Implementing Constructors and Constructor Overloading Solving problems using Inheritance and Polymorphism Create your own package Create your own interface Handling exceptions arising in programs Use concept of multithreading in programs writing Handle Strings Use GUI components in your programs Use Layout Manages Write simple java programs to implement Sockets Write simple java programs to connect databases

1.2 GENERAL GUIDELINES

You should come prepared for you lab session to properly utilize the maximum time of Lab session. You should attempt all lab exercises/assignments given in the list (session wise). You may seek assistance in doing the lab exercises from the available lab instructor. 5

Lab Manual

For each program, you should add general comments such as your name date of programming etc. There should be proper comments for description of the problem, requirement of class, function etc. Proper comments are to be provided as and when necessary in the programming. This will develop a good practice in you for rest of your professional life Your program should be interactive and properly documented with real Input/ Output data. Proper management of file of Lab record is necessary. Completed lab assignments should be submitted in the form of a Lab Record in which you have to write the algorithm, program code along with comments and output for various inputs given. There are total 10 lab sessions ( of 3 hours each) for this lab course.

1.3 JAVA PROGRAMMING

Future of computing will revolve around Internet. Java is a Programming language developed by Sun Microsystems to take case of requirements of Internet computing. Java is a platform independent programming language that is why it is a very popular language for cross platform applications and programming on Word Wide Web. Java is an Object Oriented Programming Language, which serve the purpose of Object Oriented Paradigm of Programming. An object oriented language use the concept of abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism to provide flexibility, modularity, and reusability for developing software. Following feature of java make it popular and very useful programming language: Platform Independent: Java programs can run on any machine and operating system that support Java Virtual Machine. Multithreaded: these capabilities of java provide capability to single program to perform several tasks simultaneously. Multithreading is very useful for developing applications like animation, GUI, and networks. Unlike other programming languages multithreading is integrated in Java. In other programming languages, you have to call operating systems specific procedures to perform the task of multithreading. Distributed: Using java programs simultaneous processing can be done on multiple computer on Internet. Java provides strong networking features to write distributed programs. Secure: Design of java is having multiple layers of security that ensures proper access of private data and have control over access of disk files. You will cover major topics of Java Programming in this lab section during problem solving including programming structures, methods objects, inheritance, exception handling, multithreading, AWT, I/O, and applets. Because you know C programming language, it will be easier to you to learn java programming. It is very important to keep in mind the object-oriented features during problem solving.

Java Is also known as a Modern high-level language due to its characteristics: Simple, Architecture neutral, Object oriented, Portable, Distributed, High performance, Interpreted, Multithreaded, Robust, Dynamic, and Secure. The Java programming language is unusual in the sense that a java program is both compiled and interpreted as shown in Figure 1.1.

Now let us see how you will run your java programs

1.4 PATH AND CLASSPATH SETTING

To run java programs you need JDK (Java Development Kit) installed on your machine. Latest version of JDK you can download from java.sun.com for free. It is suggested, set PATH and CLASSPATH properly before you try to compile and run your java programs. Because of the problem related to the path settings on your PC, your program may not compile and run.

PATH Setting
If whenever you type on your dos prompt javac TestProg.java it does not compile your TestProg program; but instead it spits out some strange message about a "Bad Command", . What's wrong? Can you guess?It is not a matter of burry , this message does not mean that your machine is broken or that you didn't install JDK correctly. The machine says "Bad command" because it doesn't know what the commands javac or java mean!

Lab Manual

You need to tell DOS that these commands live in the Javas JDK directory and that whenever it doesn't recognize a command like javac that it should also check the Javas JDK directory for a possible interpretation of this command. This problem can be solved in two ways on by using DOS prompt , and another by using My Computer on your window screen. Type path at your DOS prompt ,You will get PATH=C:WINNT\...;C:\ProgramFiles\..... where the dots represent all kinds of directory names. This is a list of all the places DOS looks when it's trying to find out what a particular command means. If your JDK directory is not on this list, your DOS won't understand the JDKs commands. So you need to add it to the list. You can do this by typing set path=c:\jdkwhateverItIs\bin;%path% where whateverItIs is the version of JDK . This adds your JDKdirectory to the rest of the existing path. If you have put your JDK directory somewhere else, alter the directory name in the command above appropriately to match the actual location. If there is any spaces in the command above (except between set and path) path will not be set properly. Now try to run the java commands again. If it still doesn't work, move your *.java files into the JDK directory -- and you should be able to work there (or in the bin subdirectory of the JDK directory). Here is the problem again because youll need to reset your path every time you turn your machine back on and want to work on the Java programs again. But there is a way to fix it permanently. You need to alter (edit) your autoexec.bat file, which is in your main C: directory. It is suggested to copy this file first to a back up version, then do required modifications told to you here. C: copy autoexec.bat autoexecBACK1.bat Because this is the file that has all the important settings for making your PC run the way you want it. One of the settings it makes is the PATH. Now edit the autoexec.bat file and find the line that sets the path. Add your version of the "set path=C:/jdk.2...." command (the one you used earlier) after the line that sets the rest of the path in the autoexec.bat file. Now save the file. Then the next time you open a DOS window (it maybe be required to restart your machine ), the PATH should be set correctly. If you made an error in editing autoexec.bat, things might not work quite right now . In this case, just copy your back up version of autoexecBACK1.bat back into autoexec.bat and try the whole process again.

CLASSPATH Setting
If you find some message during compilation or execution of Java program that a class is not found .You know where the class file is ? May be in your current working directory. To tell the path of class files you need to set your CLASSPATH. At the DOS prompt, type 8

classpath and DOS will respond with CLASSPATH=C:stuff..... Now type set classpath=.;%classpath% Dont leave any spaces except after the word set. This should add the current directory (the directory having your class files ) to your classpath. Then java should know to look in the current directory for the *.class files that your javac compiles are creating. In XP/2000/ME machines PATH and CLASSPATH can be set using "My Computer. The process is given as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. Right click on "My Computer" and Click on Properties. Click on the Advanced tab. Click on the "Environment Variables" button near the bottom. A dialog box comes up with two boxes: In the bottom box, look for "Path" and highlight that line. Then click on "Edit" .A small dialog box appears. In the second text field for the value, at the END of the line, add a semicolon then the path to where your java.exe file is. For example path is like:C:\jdk1.3.\bin 5. Click "OK." 6. Now, in the top box, click on the "New" button. 7. In the first field, enter "classpath" as one word. For the value in the second field, enter a single period. This is all you have to do for setting PATH and CLASSPATH. Now you can compile and run your applications and applets without any problem of PATH and CLASSPATH.PATH and CLASSPATH setting need to be done only in the case of, if you are willing to run programs on DOS prompt. If you write Java programs in some specific editors like EditPlus, JBbuilderfor etc. then these seting discussed above are editor dependent. Also you may use NetBeans IDE for writing your programs . It lets you quickly and easily develop Java desktop, mobile, and web applications. NetBeans IDE is free and open source with a large community of users and developers around the world. You may install NetBeans IDE on any operating systems that support Java. For more details you may visit: www.netbeans.org Now we will learn how EditPlus can be set for Java Programming. EditPlus is distributed as Shareware. You can freely download and try it for 30 days from http://www.editplus.com/download.html. 1. Open EditPlus 2. Select Tools>Configure User Tools .You will find a dialog Window in which you have to select a Group Name 3. Select Group1 as Group Name you can select any.. 4. Click on Add Tool >> button and select Program Setting for Compilation of Java Programs : 5. In front of Menu text : write Compile
