try {
Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");
String connectionUrl = "jdbc:sqlserver://"+hostName.getText()+";" +
"databaseName="+dbName.getText()+";user="+userName.getText()+";password="+password.getText()+";";
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionUrl);
if(con!=null){JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "Connection Established");}
} catch (SQLException e) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, e);
//System.out.println("SQL Exception: "+ e.toString());
} catch (ClassNotFoundException cE) {
//System.out.println("Class Not Found Exception: "+ cE.toString());
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, cE.toString());
}
When there is an error it shows a long JOptionPane message box that is longer than the width of the computer screen. How can I break e.toString() into two or more parts.
import javax.swing.*;
class FixedWidthLabel {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Runnable r = () -> {
String html = "<html><body width='%1s'><h1>Label Width</h1>"
+ "<p>Many Swing components support HTML 3.2 & "
+ "(simple) CSS. By setting a body width we can cause "
+ "the component to find the natural height needed to "
+ "display the component.<br><br>"
+ "<p>The body width in this text is set to %1s pixels.";
// change to alter the width
int w = 175;
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, String.format(html, w, w));
};
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(r);
}
}
You have to use \n
to break the string in different lines. Or you can:
Another way to accomplish this task is to subclass the JOptionPane class and override the getMaxCharactersPerLineCount so that it returns the number of characters that you want to represent as the maximum for one line of text.

Similar to Andrew Thomson's answer, the following code let's you load an HTML
file from the project root directory and display it in a JOptionPane
. Note that you need to add a Maven dependency for Apache Commons IO. Also the use of HTMLCompressor
is a good idea if you want to read formatted HTML code from a file without breaking the rendering.
import com.googlecode.htmlcompressor.compressor.HtmlCompressor;
import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
public class HTMLRenderingTest
{
public static void main(String[] arguments) throws IOException
{
String html = FileUtils.readFileToString(new File("document.html"));
HtmlCompressor compressor = new HtmlCompressor();
html = compressor.compress(html);
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, html);
}
}
This let's you manage the HTML
code better than in Java Strings.
Don't forget to create a file named document.html
with the following content:
<html>
<body width='175'><h1>Label Width</h1>
<p>Many Swing components support HTML 3.2 & (simple) CSS. By setting a body width we can cause the component to find
the natural height needed to display the component.<br><br>
<p>The body width in this text is set to 175 pixels.
