  • Multithreading - Can someone explain this ...

    Hi Java Gurus:
    Can someone explain this to me why my multithreading worked in once case and not in the other.
    First a little background:
    My application lets the user create multiple JInternalFrames. Each frame has an OK button. When the user presses the OK button, the frame goes about it's business in a new thread, thus returning control to the use, so he/she can press the OK button on the second frame .. and so on.
    Following is the event handler for the OK button that creates the new thread:
    case1 - doesn't work:
          btnTranslate.addActionListener(
             new ActionListener() {
                public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e ) {
                             txtOutput.setText("");
                             txtBadParts.setText("");
                   Translation trans = new Translation(inst);
                   trans.run();
          );case2 - works:
          btnTranslate.addActionListener(
             new ActionListener() {
                public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e ) {
                             txtOutput.setText("");
                             txtBadParts.setText("");
                       new Translation(inst).start();
          );Thanks,
    Kamran

    Calling the run method makes the run method run in the current thread. You need to call the start method to get the thread to start its own thread.

  • I changed my rescue email to change my security questionsi but when i go to send the email to change my security questions, it says to send security info email to the email address i previously had as my primary email address

    I want to change the password for my itunes account but I don't remember my security questions. I changed my primary address to my new email and changed my rescue email address to another new email address. When I go to change my security questions it says Send reset security info email to j•••••@y7mail.comwhich is my old email address. I don't know the password to this email address that's why I changed the rescue email to a new one. But on the name, ID and email address page it has both updated emails on there

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

  • Trying to understand RSTP - Please can someone explain this?

    Hi Group
    I am still confused about how RSTP is implemented. From what i understand the major difference is that STP
    used Timers for Loop prevention whereas RSTP coordinates between neighbors via messages (proposal/aggreement) to turn on links
    more quickly after topology changes and is "timer free".
    However, I have not noticed any difference in the configuration from the legacy STP
    configurations and the RSTP configuration on cisco devices. Or are there any differences??
    I have read in documentation that RSTP natively includes features like UplinkFast, BackboneFast and PortFast. So are these features now obsolete
    and not needed to be configured if you are running RSTP. (Although i have seen Portfast still configured along with RSTP on many switches)
    Also can someone explain the below Points from Cisco Documentation
    1) should STP be disabled on edge ports all together as suggested below?
    "STP edge ports are bridge ports that do not need STP enabled, where loop protection is not needed out
    of that port or an STP neighbor does not exist out of that port. For RSTP, it is important to disable STP
    on edge ports, which are typically front-side Ethernet ports, using the command bridge
    bridge-group-number spanning-disabled on the appropriate interface. If RSTP is not disabled on edge
    ports, convergence times will be excessive for packets traversing those ports."
    2) It seems RSTP relies on duplex setting to determine inter-switch links. What is the configuration to explicitly
    configure RSTP link types? (I couldnt find this in the documentation)
    "RSTP can only achieve rapid transition to the forwarding state on edge ports and on point-to-point links.
    The link type is automatically derived from the duplex mode of a port. A port that operates in fullduplex
    is assumed to be point-to-point, while a half-duplex port is considered as a shared port by
    default. This automatic link type setting can be overridden by explicit configuration. In switched
    networks today, most links operate in full-duplex mode and are treated as point-to-point links by RSTP.
    This makes them candidates for rapid transition to the forwarding state."
    Also i am a bit rough on my RSTP knowledge even after skimming a few Cisco documents. Can someone please explain this in simple way.
    Thanks in advance

    to configure it on a device:-
    spanning-tree mode rapid-pvst
    PortFast/UplinkFast & BackboneFast were cisco "Enhancements" to 802.1d STP. RSTP just incorperates them. If you want to configure portfast, the command is still "spanning-tree portfast"
    OK
    1) That is your choice - I have bitter experiance of users/IT admins just plugging hubs/switches in when ever they can. Also cabling the switch back to itself creating a cabled loop. So my advice to you is to leave STP enabled on all switch ports, BUT enable BPDUGuard - this is a life saver, if you have configured portfast.
    2) duplex auto! or duplex full (overiding)
    I really suggest that you read the 802.1d standard, once you understand normal spanning-tree - RSTP will come to you.

  • Can someone explain what DHCP is and how I do I connect to WiFi  hotspot?

    Can someone explain how a wireless network/router with an internet connection allows computers with a wireless card to connect to the internet? For instance, In an internet cafe with WiFi, how does my macbook get the IP address for the ISP that the cafe uses to allow me to open a webpage with Safari? What is DHCP and how should I set my internet preferences to allow me to use a network other than my own.
    The reason I ask so many questions is that I can connect to the internet with my Airport Express base station network at home but not in my local WiFi cafe. Can see the network but not connect.

    Most Internet Cafes utilize DHCP to dynamically provide a wireless client with an IP address for that session. DHCP is a protocol used by networked computers (clients) to obtain IP addresses and other parameters such as the default gateway, subnet mask, and IP addresses of DNS servers from a DHCP server. It facilitates access to a network because these settings would otherwise have to be made manually for the client to participate in the network.
    You Mac's AirPort, in turn, is set up to be a DHCP client by default. This allows your Mac to accept the dynamically provided IP address information from the Internet Cafe's DHCP server.
    The reason I ask so many questions is that I can connect to the internet with my Airport Express base station network at home but not in my local WiFi cafe.
    It sounds like the AirPort settings that your Mac is using is no longer at their default settings...and my be the reason you cannot connect to the Internet at the Cafe...or, the Cafe has additional settings required. I suggest that you check with the Administrator of the particular Internet Cafe you're having trouble connecting with to find out what settings are necessary to use their wireless network.
    A typical AirPort is set up as follows:
    System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
    - Verify that AirPort is "On" (checked)
    - Verify that AirPort is at the top of the list. If it isn't, you can drag it to the top.
    Systems Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort
    AirPort tab
    - By default, join: Automatic
    TCP/IP tab
    - Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
    - Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
    Proxies tab
    - Configure Proxies: Manually
    - Select a proxy server to configure: <All proxies should be unchecked unless you specifically require a proxy for Internet access.>
    - Exclude simple hostnames (unchecked)
    - Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains: <leave blank>
    - Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV) (checked)

  • Can someone explain this flashmo sample?

    Hi,
    I'm a newbie in flash and looking at this sample project.
    http://www.flashmo.com/preview/flashmo_169_intro
    I opened it with flash cs3, and can see actionscript on the actions layer, and can see symbols in the library. However, I cannot figure out what makes the symbols swoosh in/out in sequence. The actionscript on the actions layer does not have that, or so I figured.
    Can someone explain where I need to look at?
    Thanks.
    Ben

    This is another good reason for never using scenes in Flash designs--they put things where they cannot be easily found.  There is no actionscript for the animations, but there is a second scene that contains all of the animation.  If you open the secnes panel you will find a second scene that includes all of what you are wondering about.
    Ooops, sorry Rob.  ....bad timing.

  • Can someone explain this difference in Mac vs Win policy ?

    I can download a MathScript module for evaluation with the Windows evaluation version, but for the Mac, I have to first buy LabVIEW (the module is free, just can't be evaluated). Can someone explain the logic behind this nonsense ?

    NI's activation platform doesn't work on the Mac or Linux operating systems. We created a "special" evaluation version of LabVIEW for the Mac, but after the 30 days, it requires you to uninstall it and install the regular version of LabVIEW, which doesn't have activation.
    VISA is offered as a free download because it a device driver, and by practice, all of NI's device drivers are free. However, the MathScript RT Module is an add-on for LabVIEW. The reason that the Mac and Linux versions are free is because we don't have LabVIEW Real-Time for Mac or Linux, and the real-time capabilities for the LabVIEW MathScript RT Module are the primary reason for the cost of the Module in the first place. This ability to deploy custom .m files to embedded hardware, and run them deterministically, as well as the plug-in tools to do profiling and testing, is a huge differentiator for MathScript on the Windows platform. However, that functionality doesn't exist on the Mac or Linux platform.
    The reason you can't download the Module is because we need to be able to track who the users are. Each new release of LabVIEW brings a new version of the MathScript RT Module, and we physically mail the new media to all of the users who have "purchased" the free Module, just like with any purchased Module. If we simply said go download it, then each person would have to go re-download it with each release.
    "Go stuff yourself" is certainly not the intention. You will be able to use the Mac version of MathScript (free) on the evaluation version of LabVIEW for Mac. To find this version, navigate to http://www.ni.com/trylabview/ and choose to "See Download Options". The mac version is linked within this page.
    I hope you find this information both helpful and satisfactory.

  • Can someone explain this !!

    Really it's amazing !
    When I bought my E71 about 4 months ths ago ,and as I was upgrading from S40 series ,I found it a little bit slow , of couse compared to other N series like N73 it was much faster.
    For some issues , I decided to hard reset the device ,When I did that , it got about twice the speed compared to the speed at the time of purchase !!
    I said might be the programs , I started to install them one by one from my backup ,still the phone is much faster opening menus....etc compared to the time of purchase !!
    I said might be other programs , and I took a brand new phone where I found the formatting removed some programs that were installed at phone memory like mmssync ,Nokia webservice support ,Nokia internet service support package 1 ...etc
    I did that till I made sure from the file manager that my phone's programs are exactly the same as the brand new phone!
    then I compared my phone , and a brand new phone taken from a friend's shop ,still my phone after formatting is much faster !!!
    What can be the reason behind that ,really I am about to start telling all my friends to backup and hard reset to get the maximum speed , but will it work with everybody? ,I can't tell as I can't explain the phenomena at the first place... can anybody help ?

    Well, I have two E71s and I don't see this - one is still on the original firmware version and the other has been upgraded to the current version.
    Now assuming that there is a difference between the firmware versions/programs installed, I would make a wild guess that in your original firmware, the factory installed format was sub-optimal. When you reflashed it, and reinstalled, you're probably seeing the effects of a better setup. But twice as fast is a little hard to believe.

  • Can someone explain this behavior?? (session 0 with htp.init)

    Hi,
    I've noticed that when you access a page using the Session 0 and that page contains an "htp.init" in a before header process, for some reason the session expires and creates a new one.
    I made an example on apex.oracle.com, but first let me explain what've done exactly.
    There's two pages. On page 1, I have an item named :P1_COLOR that is assigned the value of an application item :P_RED. This application item is affected in an application process before header that runs only on page 1 (the value assigned is "This is red"). I also have an item that displays the session id using this code:
    return :APP_SESSION;
    Then, I have a link called "page 2" in the HTML region :
    a href="f?p=&APP_ID.:2:&APP_SESSION.:::::">page 2</a
    Also, more importantly, on page 1 I have a process before header that sets a cookie:
    begin
    htp.init;
    owa_util.mime_header('text/html', FALSE);
    owa_cookie.send(
    name    => 'MY_COLOR_COOKIE_'||:P_RED,
    value   => 'test_value',
    expires => SYSDATE365,+
    path    => null,
    domain  => null                );
    owa_util.mime_header('text/html', TRUE);
    END;
    Now if you go in the application normally without session 0, you will see the "This is red" with the session id and when you click on page 2 you will still see "This is red" with the same session ID
    http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=60310:1::::::
    But when using the Session 0, you see "This is red" with a session id, but when you click page 2, you don't see "This is red" and a new session ID is created, but the link in the address bar still contains the session 0. Also, if you press BACK and then go on page 2 again, you don't lose the :P_RED value nor the session. There seems to be a problem only the first time around.
    http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=60310:1:0:::::
    Can anyone explain me this behavior? Is it a bug? What is the work around? Because, i know that if you want to set a cookie you need "htp.init".
    Note: I 've commented the cookie part of my process and only left the htp.init uncommented and had the same result, that's why I'm saying it is caused by htp.init
    Thanks, reginald
    Edited by: reggieh on Mar 19, 2009 7:09 AM

    Yes, you might need to do something like that. The zero SID cookie is set only once: the first time the application is visited with a zero for session ID. So for email links where you use zero in the link, you could make the link target page a dummy public page (999) with BRANCH_TO_PAGE_ACCEPT in the request and the actual page you want the user to go to in the portion of the request after the pipe symbol, e.g., for page 10, the url would look like:
    http://host:port:/pls/DAD/f?p=60310:999:0:BRANCH_TO_PAGE_ACCEPT|10
    An after-submit process on page 999 would use :REQUEST as the page to redirect to:
    owa_util.redirect_url('f?p=' || :APP_ID || ':' || :REQUEST || ':' || '0');
    apex_application.g_unrecoverable_error := true;
    If this works the way we're thinking, the zero sid cookie will be sent when page 999 is requested, then page 999's after-submit process would take the user to the desiired page on which your process could set the tracking cookie.
