Why <strong>Java</strong> has method that doesn't work? Is it bug in <strong>Java</strong> or I am stupid?<br />
Answer: neither statement is true! It is not a bug and you are Ok! Just please read<br />
more carefully <strong>Java</strong>Doc next time.<br />
It is written there for getBoolean ():<br />
"Returns is true if and only if the system property named by the argument exists and<br />
is equal to the string "true".<br />
(Beginning with <strong>Java</strong> 1.0.2, the test of this string is case insensitive.)<br />
A system property is accessible through getProperty, a method defined by the<br />
System class."<br />
So you didn't use this method properly...<br />
Use instead:<br />
public static Boolean valueOf(String s)<br />
This method returns the boolean value represented by the specified String. A new<br />
Boolean object is constructed. This Boolean contains the value true if the string<br />
argument is not null and is equal, ignoring case, to the string "true".<br />
example:<br />
boolean x= true;<br />
(Boolean.valueOf(x)).booleanValue()<br />
gives you proper boolean (not Boolean!) value<br />

Q: I'm looking for a rich text editor that I can embed within a web page, and allow<br />
users to enter rich text that I can in turn store as HTML.<br />
I've seen similar applets through web based e-mail clients. I'd appreciate it if<br />
someone could point me in the right direction!<br />
Answer:<br />
Try Swing, by Robinson, Manning Publication. You could probably adjust the code to<br />
fit into the applet style.<br />
It is here<br />
