If you have array of the employee objects then you need to use Arrays.sort() method to sort the array holding employee objects. Below example will show how to write custom comparator. I’ve given three examples of custom comparators.

Employee object-

package com.java.sample.tctalk.beans;
 
import java.io.Serializable;
 
public class EmpVo implements Serializable{
	private static final long serialVersionUID = -5582930215624470075L;
 
	String empName;
	String empDept;
	int empAge;
 
	public String getEmpName() {
		return empName;
	}
	public void setEmpName(String empName) {
		this.empName = empName;
	}
	public String getEmpDept() {
		return empDept;
	}
	public void setEmpDept(String empDept) {
		this.empDept = empDept;
	}
	public int getEmpAge() {
		return empAge;
	}
	public void setEmpAge(int empAge) {
		this.empAge = empAge;
	}
 
}

Next you need to define the custom comparator which will help you to sort by employee name, employee department and age.
Name comparator-

package com.java.sample.tctalk.corej;
 
import java.util.Comparator;
 
import com.java.sample.tctalk.beans.EmpVo;
 
public class EmpNameComparator implements Comparator{
 
	public int compare(Object obj1, Object obj2) {
		String empName1 = ((EmpVo)obj1).getEmpName();
		String empName2 = ((EmpVo)obj2).getEmpName();
 
		return empName1.compareTo(empName2);
	}
}

Department comparator-

package com.java.sample.tctalk.corej;
 
import java.util.Comparator;
 
import com.java.sample.tctalk.beans.EmpVo;
 
public class EmpDeptComparator implements Comparator {
 
	public int compare(Object obj1, Object obj2) {
		String empDept1 = ((EmpVo)obj1).getEmpDept();
		String empDept2 = ((EmpVo)obj2).getEmpDept();
 
		return empDept1.compareTo(empDept2);
	}
}

Age comparator-

package com.java.sample.tctalk.corej;
 
import java.util.Comparator;
 
import com.java.sample.tctalk.beans.EmpVo;
 
public class EmpAgeComparator implements Comparator{
 
	public int compare(Object obj1, Object obj2) {
		int empAge1 = ((EmpVo)obj1).getEmpAge();
		int empAge2 = ((EmpVo)obj2).getEmpAge();
 
		if(empAge1>empAge2) return 1;
		else if(empAge1<empAge2) return -1;
		else return 0;
	}
}

Here is the main class which uses the comparator to sort the employee objects based on name, department and age.

package com.java.sample.tctalk.corej;
 
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.Iterator;
 
import com.java.sample.tctalk.beans.EmpVo;
 
public class EmpComparatorExample {
 
	public static void main(String args[]) {
		ArrayList empList = new ArrayList();
		/* 
		 * Create and populate employee objects and add them in the array list for next processing
		 * */
		EmpVo emp1 = new EmpVo();
		emp1.setEmpName("Sarah Parker");
		emp1.setEmpDept("Human Resource");
		emp1.setEmpAge(29);
		empList.add(emp1);
 
		EmpVo emp2 = new EmpVo();
		emp2.setEmpName("Kathy Little");
		emp2.setEmpDept("Information and Technology");
		emp2.setEmpAge(40);
		empList.add(emp2);
 
		EmpVo emp3 = new EmpVo();
		emp3.setEmpName("Robert Fletcher");
		emp3.setEmpDept("Information and Technology");
		emp3.setEmpAge(32);
		empList.add(emp3);
 
		EmpVo emp4 = new EmpVo();
		emp4.setEmpName("Roger Andrews");
		emp4.setEmpDept("Finance");
		emp4.setEmpAge(37);
		empList.add(emp4);
 
		// printing the unsorted arraylist
		System.out.println("Employee Name----Age----Department");
		Iterator empItr = empList.iterator();
		while(empItr.hasNext()){
			EmpVo emp = (EmpVo)empItr.next();
			System.out.println(emp.getEmpName()+"----"+emp.getEmpAge()+"----"+emp.getEmpDept());
		}
 
		Collections.sort(empList, new EmpNameComparator());
		// printing the unsorted arraylist
		System.out.println("\n\rAfter sorting based on employee name-");
		System.out.println("Employee Name----Age----Department");
 
		Iterator empItr1 = empList.iterator();
		while(empItr1.hasNext()){
			EmpVo emp = (EmpVo)empItr1.next();
			System.out.println(emp.getEmpName()+"----"+emp.getEmpAge()+"----"+emp.getEmpDept());
		}
 
 
		Collections.sort(empList, new EmpDeptComparator());
		// printing the unsorted arraylist
		System.out.println("\n\rAfter sorting based on employee department-");
		System.out.println("Employee Name----Age----Department");
 
		Iterator empItr2 = empList.iterator();
		while(empItr2.hasNext()){
			EmpVo emp = (EmpVo)empItr2.next();
			System.out.println(emp.getEmpName()+"----"+emp.getEmpAge()+"----"+emp.getEmpDept());
		}
 
		Collections.sort(empList, new EmpAgeComparator());
		// printing the unsorted arraylist
		System.out.println("\n\rAfter sorting based on employee age-");
		System.out.println("Employee Name----Age----Department");
 
		Iterator empItr3 = empList.iterator();
		while(empItr3.hasNext()){
			EmpVo emp = (EmpVo)empItr3.next();
			System.out.println(emp.getEmpName()+"----"+emp.getEmpAge()+"----"+emp.getEmpDept());
		}		
	}
}

And here is the output you should get by running the code-

Step-2: Right Click on any location of the editor and select “Refactor->Encapsulate Fields”.

Step-3: You’ll get a popup with the options of to select the getter/setters. Even you can control the appearence of the functions or the scope of the fields.

Step-4: Once you are done, you can see the [review of the generated functions. If everything looks good click the 'Refactor' button to automatically generate the getters/setters in the bean class.

Jfreechart series1: How to create a dynamic bar-chart using jfreechart library in java

Jfreechart series2: How to create a dynamic pie chart using jfreechart library in java

In this tutorial I’ll show you how we can use JFreeChart library to create 3D Pie chart. First I’ll give you the source of the chart utility where I’m populating the dataset and creating the chart. Second I’ll give you the servlet source code where we have called this utility class to generate the actual 3D Pie Chart.

package com.tctalk.chartgen.utility;
 
import java.awt.Color;
import org.jfree.chart.ChartFactory;
import org.jfree.chart.JFreeChart;
import org.jfree.chart.plot.PiePlot;
import org.jfree.data.general.DefaultPieDataset;
import org.jfree.util.Rotation;
 
public class Pie3DChart {
 
    private static JFreeChart chart;
 
    private Pie3DChart() {
    }
 
    public static synchronized JFreeChart getPie3DChart() {
        final DefaultPieDataset dataset = createDataset();
        chart = ChartFactory.createPieChart3D("Students by Classes",
                dataset,
                true,
                true,
                true);
        chart.setBackgroundPaint(Color.WHITE);
        PiePlot plot = (PiePlot) chart.getPlot();
        plot.setStartAngle(270);
        plot.setDirection(Rotation.ANTICLOCKWISE);
        plot.setForegroundAlpha(0.5f);
        return chart;
    }
 
    /**
     * Creates a sample dataset.
     *
     * @return The dataset.
     */
    private static DefaultPieDataset createDataset() {
 
        final String type1 = "SCIENCE CLASS";
        final String type2 = "ECONOMICS CLASS";
        final String type3 = "LANGUAGE CLASS";
 
        // create the dataset...
        final DefaultPieDataset dataset = new DefaultPieDataset();
 
        dataset.setValue(type1, 65);
        dataset.setValue(type2, 25);
        dataset.setValue(type3, 10);
 
        return dataset;
    }
}

The code is very much self explanatory which is populating the data set (note we are using DefaultPieDataset) for the 3D pie chart. Next we are generating the 3D Pie chart. Here the PiePlot helps you to customize the default looks of the Pie. I’ll show two screen shots where one is having the PiePlot another not having the PiePlot object.
Next is the code for sevlet which is calling the chart generator to generate the chart:

package com.tctalk.chartgen.servlets;
 
import com.tctalk.chartgen.utility.Pie3DChart;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import org.jfree.chart.ChartUtilities;
import org.jfree.chart.JFreeChart;
 
public class PieChart3DGen extends HttpServlet {
 
    protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
            throws ServletException, IOException {
        response.setContentType("image/png");
        OutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
        try {
            JFreeChart chart = Pie3DChart.getPie3DChart();
            ChartUtilities.writeChartAsPNG(out, chart, 625, 500);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.err.println("Problem occurred while creating chart." + e.getMessage());
        }
    }
 
    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
            throws ServletException, IOException {
        processRequest(request, response);
    }
 
    protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
            throws ServletException, IOException {
        processRequest(request, response);
    }
}

Here are the output of the chart:

	   //Verify that user data is present database
	   $sql = "select count(*) as totusr from `members_tbl`
		   where `nickname` = '$username' and `password`='$password'";
	   $res = mysql_query($sql);
	   $row = mysql_fetch_array($res);
	   $totusr = $row[totusr];
	   if($totusr==0)
	      return 0;
	   else return 1;
	}
 
        function login_check()
        {
           if(!isset($_SESSION[nickname]))
           {
                //Check the cookie to see if user data has been present
	        if(isset($_COOKIE['cookname']) && isset($_COOKIE['cookpass']))
                {
		  //se the value in session object
                  $_SESSION['nickname'] = $_COOKIE['cookname'];
		  $_SESSION['password'] = $_COOKIE['cookpass'];

        {
                $phoneno = ereg_replace("[^0-9]","", $phoneno);

This function helps you to generate star rating for your website. The following code snippet is for the site www.foodtastic.com to show average star rating for recipes.

        function showAvgStarRating($recipe_ratings_average, $ratings_max=5)
        {
                // Check For average half star rating
        	$insert_half = 0;
        	$recipe_ratings = round($recipe_ratings_average, 1);
