Access client machine printer using PrinterJob in Oracle ADF

Hi Folks this post is about accessing client machine printer using java PrinterJob in ADF application. Sometimes we may get requirement to handle windows printer like "Direct printing without print dialog box". You cannot customize the windows printer.
By using the Java PrinterJob you can completely handle print dialog and its properties from java. For more information on java PritnerJob check this
This can be achieved using Applet integration in ADF page.  For applet integration in ADF page go through my previous post Get Client machine MAC address in ADF using applet

Follow same steps given in my previous post.
In Messageapplet class add the following java code

Build the jar file and integrate in adf  project. Below is java script call the applet method on button click.

Run the jspx page. Print dialog is of java not windows print dialog.

Date Format example in java


import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;

public class DateFormat {

  public static void main(String args[]) {

  String s;
  Format formatter;
  Date date = new Date();

  // 01/09/02
  formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yy");
  s = formatter.format(date);
  System.out.println(s);

  // 01/09/02
  formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yy");
  s = formatter.format(date);
  System.out.println(s);

  // 29-Jan-02
  formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy");
  s = formatter.format(date);
  System.out.println(s);

  // 2002.01.29.08.36.33
  formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy.MM.dd.HH.mm.ss");
  s = formatter.format(date);
  System.out.println(s);

  // Tue, 09 Jan 2002 22:14:02 -0500
  formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("E, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss Z");
  s = formatter.format(date);
  System.out.println(s);

  formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE, dd MMMM yyyy HH:mm:ss zzzz");
  s = formatter.format(date);
  System.out.println(s);
  }
}

Creating file in java

Following code is to create file "testfile.txt" in current directory.

import java.io.*;

public class SampleFile{
  public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{
  File f=new File("testfile.txt");
  if(!f.exists()){
  f.createNewFile();
  System.out.println("New file \"myfile.txt\" has been created 
  to the current directory");
  }
  }
}

Convert java.util.Date to java.sql.Date

import java.sql.Date;

class sqlDate

{

//Method to convert  java.util.Date to java.sql.Date

public static Date UtilDateToSqlDate(java.util.Date utilDate) {

  Date sqlDate = null;

  if (utilDate != null)  sqlDate = new Date(utilDate.getTime());

  return sqlDate;

 }

// Method to convert java.sql.Date to java.util.Date

 public static java.util.Date SqlDateToUtilDate(Date sqlDate) {

  java.util.Date utilDate = null;

  if (sqlDate != null)  utilDate = new java.util.Date(sqlDate.getTime());

  return utilDate;

 }

public static void main(String args[])

{

java.util.Date d1 = new java.util.Date();

  System.out.println("Util Date : "+ d1);

java.sql.Date d2 =UtilDateToSqlDate(d1);

  System.out.println("Sql Date : " + d2);

java.util.Date d3= SqlDateToUtilDate(d2);

  System.out.println("Back to Util Date : "+ d3);

}

}
