This post explains how to programmatically get access to all printers configured in a machine. Java provides lookup facitlity through PrintServiceLookup class. This class has static methods through which we can get a reference to all the printers. We use the lookupPrintServices method in the PrintServiceLookup class. The api definition is as shown below public…… Continue reading Getting access to all printers configured in machine

Listening to unmarshalling events
By subclassing Unmarshaller.Listener abstract class, we can create listener class which will listen to unmarshling events. We can add our code if we want to perform some actions before and after unmarshalling. The Unmarshaller.Listener class has two methods which can be overridden. By default the methods doesn’t perform any actions. 1) public void beforeUnmarshal(Object target,…… Continue reading Listening to unmarshalling events
