Add a new JRadioButton created with the default constructor
to a panel and then print the panel. The following code is called
by my print action listener on the my Screen which extends
JPanel.

I nead to print child-components(like JCheckBoxs) that have no parent,
because they are renderer-components in a container, something like
JTable. The problem is that I am getting an Exception when they are not
attached to a parent-container, the Exception occures in a
drawString(...) method in one of all that Graphics implementations in
the sun package.
I didn't understand in which Graphics-Class it really relays,
here is the Exception:

This Exception will be thrown when I try to print a JCheckBox without a
parent and with it's label == null or "".

First I thought about the TextLayout-Class, the constructor should
accept String-Object with length == 0, but I found the following in the
bug parade:

>Bug Id: 4138921
>Synopsis: TextLayout handling of empty strings
>State: Closed, not a bug

I don't understand why throwing an exception should be correct, but OK,
I cannot change this.

My next step was to take a look to the MetalRadioButtonUI.paint
implementation,
here is the original code:

    public synchronized void paint(Graphics g, JComponent c) {

        AbstractButton b = (AbstractButton) c;
        ButtonModel model = b.getModel();
        
        Dimension size = c.getSize();

        int w = size.width;
        int h = size.height;

        Font f = c.getFont();
        g.setFont(f);
        FontMetrics fm = g.getFontMetrics();

        Rectangle viewRect = new Rectangle(size);
        Rectangle iconRect = new Rectangle();
        Rectangle textRect = new Rectangle();

        Icon altIcon = b.getIcon();
        Icon selectedIcon = null;
        Icon disabledIcon = null;
        
        String text = SwingUtilities.layoutCompoundLabel(
            c, fm, b.getText(), altIcon != null ? altIcon :
getDefaultIcon(),
            b.getVerticalAlignment(), b.getHorizontalAlignment(),
            b.getVerticalTextPosition(), b.getHorizontalTextPosition(),
            viewRect, iconRect, textRect, getDefaultTextIconGap(b)
        );
        
        // fill background
        if(c.isOpaque()) {
            g.setColor(b.getBackground());
            g.fillRect(0,0, size.width, size.height);
        }

        
        // Paint the radio button
        if(altIcon != null) {

            if(!model.isEnabled()) {
                altIcon = b.getDisabledIcon();
            } else if(model.isPressed() && model.isArmed()) {
                altIcon = b.getPressedIcon();
                if(altIcon == null) {
                    // Use selected icon
                    altIcon = b.getSelectedIcon();
                }
            } else if(model.isSelected()) {
                if(b.isRolloverEnabled() && model.isRollover()) {
                        altIcon = (Icon) b.getRolloverSelectedIcon();
                        if (altIcon == null) {
                                altIcon = (Icon) b.getSelectedIcon();
                        }
                }
                else {
                        altIcon = (Icon) b.getSelectedIcon();
                }
            } else if(b.isRolloverEnabled() && model.isRollover()) {
                altIcon = (Icon) b.getRolloverIcon();
            }
              
            if(altIcon == null) {
                altIcon = b.getIcon();
            }
               
            altIcon.paintIcon(c, g, iconRect.x, iconRect.y);

        } else {
            getDefaultIcon().paintIcon(c, g, iconRect.x, iconRect.y);
        }


        // Draw the Text
        if(text != null) {
            if(model.isEnabled()) {
                // *** paint the text normally
                g.setColor(b.getForeground());
               
BasicGraphicsUtils.drawString(g,text,model.getMnemonic(),
                                              textRect.x, textRect.y +
fm.getAscent());
            } else {
                // *** paint the text disabled
                g.setColor(b.getBackground().darker());
               
BasicGraphicsUtils.drawString(g,text,model.getMnemonic(),
                                              textRect.x,
                                              textRect.y +
fm.getAscent());
            }
            if(b.hasFocus() && b.isFocusPainted() &&
               textRect.width > 0 && textRect.height > 0 ) {
                paintFocus(g,textRect,size);
            }
        }
    }

I would change it like this:

    public synchronized void paint(Graphics g, JComponent c) {

        AbstractButton b = (AbstractButton) c;
        ButtonModel model = b.getModel();
        
        Dimension size = c.getSize();

        int w = size.width;
        int h = size.height;

        Font f = c.getFont();
        g.setFont(f);
        FontMetrics fm = g.getFontMetrics();

        Rectangle viewRect = new Rectangle(size);
        Rectangle iconRect = new Rectangle();
        Rectangle textRect = new Rectangle();

        Icon altIcon = b.getIcon();
        Icon selectedIcon = null;
        Icon disabledIcon = null;
        
        String text = SwingUtilities.layoutCompoundLabel(
            c, fm, b.getText(), altIcon != null ? altIcon :
getDefaultIcon(),
            b.getVerticalAlignment(), b.getHorizontalAlignment(),
            b.getVerticalTextPosition(), b.getHorizontalTextPosition(),
            viewRect, iconRect, textRect, getDefaultTextIconGap(b)
        );
        
        // fill background
        if(c.isOpaque()) {
            g.setColor(b.getBackground());
            g.fillRect(0,0, size.width, size.height);
        }

        
        // Paint the radio button
        if(altIcon != null) {

            if(!model.isEnabled()) {
                altIcon = b.getDisabledIcon();
            } else if(model.isPressed() && model.isArmed()) {
                altIcon = b.getPressedIcon();
                if(altIcon == null) {
                    // Use selected icon
                    altIcon = b.getSelectedIcon();
                }
            } else if(model.isSelected()) {
                if(b.isRolloverEnabled() && model.isRollover()) {
                        altIcon = (Icon) b.getRolloverSelectedIcon();
                        if (altIcon == null) {
                                altIcon = (Icon) b.getSelectedIcon();
                        }
                }
                else {
                        altIcon = (Icon) b.getSelectedIcon();
                }
            } else if(b.isRolloverEnabled() && model.isRollover()) {
                altIcon = (Icon) b.getRolloverIcon();
            }
              
            if(altIcon == null) {
                altIcon = b.getIcon();
            }
               
            altIcon.paintIcon(c, g, iconRect.x, iconRect.y);

        } else {
            getDefaultIcon().paintIcon(c, g, iconRect.x, iconRect.y);
        }


        // Draw the Text
// PO:
// PATCH:
// Provisorisch !!!!
        // if(text != null) {
        if(text.length() > 0) {
            if(model.isEnabled()) {
                // *** paint the text normally
                g.setColor(b.getForeground());
               
BasicGraphicsUtils.drawString(g,text,model.getMnemonic(),
                                              textRect.x, textRect.y +
fm.getAscent());
            } else {
                // *** paint the text disabled
                g.setColor(b.getBackground().darker());
               
BasicGraphicsUtils.drawString(g,text,model.getMnemonic(),
                                              textRect.x,
                                              textRect.y +
fm.getAscent());
            }
            if(b.hasFocus() && b.isFocusPainted() && textRect.width > 0
&& textRect.height > 0 ) {
                paintFocus(g,textRect,size);
            }
        }
    }

The test if the variable text is not null, is obsolate, because the call
to
SwingUtilities.layoutCompoundLabel(...) at the beginning of the method
ensures it!

I would only optimize the method and avoid a call to drawString if there
is no text to
draw. And this solves also my problem, now components without a parent
assigned can be printed without any exceptions, even if they have an
empty label.

This is not really a bug.

When I tried to print a JTable with some null cells, I got
the following exception.

I do prefer that it just prints nothing with null cells. Null values
are pretty common in RDBMS.

DESCRIPTION :
I can't print a JTable that contains a Boolean column
(rendered using defaut renderer : probably JCheckBox)

CONFIGURATION :
NT WS 4.0 US + SP5
JDK 1.2.2
RAM : 144Mo

STEPS :
I use the SalesReport.java example advanced printing code i find on JDC
and I add a Boolean column

1) create a policy file named print.jpol that contains :
grant {
    permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "queuePrintJob";
};

2) create a html file named SalesReport.html to launch the SalesReport applet

3) compile the code :
   javac SalesReport.java

4) run the applet :
   \jdk12\bin\appletviewer -J-Djava.security.policy=print.jpol SalesReport.html

5) click on the "print me" button
   when you look at the printer window, you see that the document
   start printing but stops immediately
   and nothing is printing
   and no error or information message

To ensure the code works
6) comment the code that is tagged by //+++ 1 in the source
   this code contains Boolean data to feed the JTable
   in the first column

7) uncomment the code tha is tagged by //+++ 2 in the source
   this code contains String data to feed the JTable
   in the first column

8) compile as in step 3)
9) run as in step 4)
10)print
   all works well

JAVA VERSION :
java version "1.2.2"
HotSpot VM (1.0.1, mixed mode, build g)

java full version "JDK-1.2.2-W"
