Use mySQl setup from your virtual machine

Have you ever faced a situation where you want to use your MYSQl from your virtual machine. i,e your MYSQL set up is on the windows and your linux is on VM player and you want to use it rather than installing it again on linux box.

If yes, Then here is the solution.

My System configuration where I have tested.
OS : Windows 7
MYSQL: version 5.5 on windows
RHEL 5 on VM player

Step:

1 . Open MYSQL workbench 5
2.  Open your MYSQL from server Administrator.
3.  Goto Security -> Users and Privileges
4.  Replace 'localhost' with '%' in limited connectivity to host matching box.
















And you are done here..:)

All credit goes to my Manager..Thanx a lot..:)

List all xml files from the JAR.

Do you want to know which all files are in the jar without extracting it.?

This is a small tutorial where I am listing all the xml files.

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Enumeration;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.jar.JarEntry;
import java.util.jar.JarFile;

/**
 * List the name of all xml which is in given jars
 *
 * @author abdul
 */
public class ListXmlFiles {
    /* Stores the xml file name*/
    List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();

    public List<String> getList() {
        return list;
    }

    /**
     * @param args
     * @throws IOException
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        ListXmlFiles xmlFiles = new ListXmlFiles();
        JarFile jarFile = new JarFile("./lib/dummyJar.jar");
        Enumeration<JarEntry> e = jarFile.entries();
        while (e.hasMoreElements()) {
            xmlFiles.process(e.nextElement());
        }
        System.out.println("List:" + xmlFiles.getList());
    }

    private void process(Object obj) {
        JarEntry entry = (JarEntry)obj;
        String name = entry.getName();
        if(name.endsWith(".xml")) {
            list.add(name);      
        }
    }
}

If you want to know all the files name inside,Just removed the if-else filter, It will add all  the filename into the list.
private void process(Object obj) {
        JarEntry entry = (JarEntry)obj;
        String name = entry.getName();
        list.add(name);        

}

Windows Command Prompt Tricks You Probably Don’t Know

1. Send a Command’s Output to the Clipboard
Note: This will work for any command.

Without doing copy and paste the output, We can send the output directly to the clipboard.
ipconfig | clip

2. Open Command Prompt From a Folder

Do you want to open the command promp within a folder from explorer ? All you have to do is hold shift while right  clicking on a folder and the option will appear in the context menu.


3. Command History
We can view our past command  i,e using doskey command.
doskey /history

4. Drag and Drop Files to Change the Current Path

Another neat trick if you are not a fan of opening a command prompt from the context menu is the ability to drag and drop folders onto the prompt and have it automatically enter the path of the folder.



5. Run Multiple Commands In One Go
Want to run multiple command at once?  You can do this by linking them with double ampersands.
ipconfig && netstat
