Java Tip: Basic Authentication with HttpURLConnectionJuly 6th, 2007 Java provides a super simple, yet hidden from plain view, way to do basic authentication of HttpURLConnection / URLConnection. Before making a connection add the following lines of code:
final String login ="...";
final String password ="...";
Authenticator.setDefault(new Authenticator() {

}
});

Since “\r” is first, “\r\n” is never found.
July 21st, 2007 at 1:54 am
Which is why the \r and \n of a “\r\n” are treated separately and an empty line is assumed in between them.

Hi
Can any one provide the solution for this
String a = “10.00″;
String result[] = a.split(”.”);
for(String value[] : result)
{
System.out.printl(value[0].toString());
}
But in this case the output is not reaching the for loop
Can anyone provide the solution for this.

i have a textarea where a user can enter free flow text.I want to seperate out lines/occurences in my java class based on the below conditions:
Unless the user presses the enter key i want to get substrings(texts) of 15 characters each or else whenever the user presses enter i want to seperate that part out and start again counting till 15 to get a new splittted substring till i reach the end of the free flow text/string.
Eg,
If user enters:
Heloo i want
enter key to be caught.
So i want this text to be seperated into the below substrings:
1. Hello i want(assuming the user pressed enter key at this point)
2. enter key to be(as the limit is 15)
3. caught
