Determine jar file of a class

We sometimes need to determine from which jar file some particular class comes from. Here I wrote a small method to find out the name of the jar file we are looking for :

public static String getJarURL(Class mclass) {

URL clsUrl = mclass.getResource(mclass.getSimpleName() + ".class");

if (clsUrl != null) {

try {

URLConnection conn = clsUrl.openConnection();

if (conn instanceof JarURLConnection) {

JarURLConnection connection = (JarURLConnection) conn;

return connection.getJarFileURL().toString();

}

}

catch (IOException e) {

throw new RuntimeException(e);

}

}

return null;

}



public static void main(String[] x){

System.out.println(getJarURL(java.net.HttpURLConnection.class));

}



 

which prints following output :

file:/C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/Java/jre1.5.0_22/lib/rt.jar

Connect via SSH without a password from MacOS to Linux with an SSHKEY

Don't panic , it is really easy. Your Steps will be: 1. Create a key on your Mac 2. Define your key on remote Linux 3. Connect via ssh. 1.  Create the key on your Mac Open the terminal :) First make a directory named .ssh on your home directory ( mkdir .ssh ) If it exist , no problem. Go to the newly created .ssh directory with command cd .ssh Then, you need to create a ssh key on your MAC. There will be 2 files for key. If you dont want any passwords , just press enter when passphrase asked. Filename will be default id_rsa if you just hit enter. But if it already exists , you may want to choose another name. Hakos-MacBook-Pro:.ssh hakan$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your@email.com" Generating public/private rsa key pair. Enter file in which to save the key (/Users/hako/.ssh/id_rsa): Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): Enter same passphrase again: Your identification has been saved in /Users/hako/.ssh/id_rsa. Your public key has been saved in /...

Escape HTML and XML in Java

HTML and XML escape format is widely used in web and XML transactions. There is a great utility for this purpose in Java world : Lang package in apache commons project Download commons-lang and put the commons-lang-xxx.jar file in your classpath or in your project. The StringEscapeUtils class is your key class here. Use static escapeXml() , escapeHtml() , unescapeXml() , unescapeHtml() methods. String escaped = StringEscapeUtils.escapeXml(" "); Great & Lifesaving , thanks apache again !

Sort a HashMap based on Keys or Values

Sort based on keys is simple , just dump the map into TreeMap (TreeMap is sorted by nature) Map myMap = new HashMap(); // put keys and values... ..... Map sortedMap = new TreeMap(myMap); If you want to sort your HashMap based on values : HashMap map1 = new HashMap(); map1.put("cat",5); map1.put("cow",4); map1.put("dog",3); map1.put("horse",2); List mpKeys = new ArrayList(map1.keySet()); List mpValues = new ArrayList(map1.values()); HashMap map = new LinkedHashMap(); TreeSet sortedSet = new TreeSet(mapValues); Object[] sortedArray = sortedSet.toArray(); int size = sortedArray.length; // descending for (int i=size-1; i>=0; i--) System.out.println(mpKeys.get(mpValues.indexOf(sortedArray[i]))+" "+sortedArray[i]); Any discussions will be appreciated.
