    Yes, that did work. I casted my event into a LinkClickEvent and then was able to pull out the id of the link that was clicked. I tried the getRef, getAction, and getComponentName methods. The getComponentName method gave me the name of the link that was clicked. The getRef method returns null, and the getAction method returns what's listed between the double quotes after onClick in the jsp page:
    onClick="contactLinkClick"
    So, in other words, getAction returns "contactLinkClick".
    Here's what my onContactLinkClick method now looks like in the dyn page:
    public void onContactLinkClick(Event event) throws PageException {
         LinkClickEvent l = (LinkClickEvent)event;
         String ref = l.getRef();
         String action = l.getAction();
         String compName = l.getComponentName();
         System.out.println("ref = " + ref);
         System.out.println("action = " + action );
         System.out.println("compName = " + compName);
         nextJSP = "ContactDetails.jsp";
         }     // end method onContactLinkClick
    Now I'll be able to grab the id of the link that was clicked and therefore the id in the arraylist of objects. Thanks for your help!

  • MSI GT72 2QE wins Editor's Choice Award (PC Comparatif, France)

    PC Comparatif, a media from France where lies the capital of fashion and lives users who are picky and have high quality standards, after comparing the G751 with MSI GT72, gave MSI GT72 2QE the Editor's Choice with a full score rating.
    Quate in English (translated)
    "Throughout the whole reviewing process, we had been asking ourselves whether we could find enough reasons, after our thorough examinations, to give this model a maximum score. The suspense lasted until the very end. We finally confirmed that it was indeed the latest model we had tested recently that had such a privilege to win this compliment. If the G751 makes us exciting (especially its silence and the aggressive price), GT72 possesses all those features and there is no denying that GT72 surpasses the G751, not necessarily in terms of power since both have equal components, but in terms of features/functionalities. MSI did not fail to make this model an ideal alternative for the desktop gaming environment...All those elements have already made GT72 a great choice. But in the end, the decisive variable is the product upgradability: MSI GT72 supports completely change of the GPU, the core component for gaming machine, so that you can keep your configurations the most update ones. Given the investment one has to make in a portable gaming machine, this option shouldn't be just a dream. "
    Quate in original language (in French)
    "Durant tout le temps de ce comparatif, nous nous sommes demande si un produit allait finalement trouver suffisamment grace a nos yeux pour que nous lui accordions la note ultime. Le suspense aura dure jusqu'au bout, puisqu'il s'est avere que c'est le dernier modele qui est passe entre nos mains qui a eu ce privilege.
    Et si le G751 reste notre petit coup de coeur, eu egard a toutes ses qualites (son silence, notamment) et au tarif tres agressif qu'il arbore, on ne peut nier que le GT72 le surpasse, pas necessairement en termes de puissance, puisqu'a composants egaux, tous les modeles se valent, mais plutot sur le plan des fonctionnalites, MSI n'ayant veritablement rien omis pour faire de son poulain une alternative ideale a un environnement destop gaming...Autant d'elements qui font deha du GT72 une reference. Mais finalement, l'argument decisif aura ete l'evolutivite du produit : MSI supporte, en effet, pleinement sur les GT72 le changement du GPU, composant central s'agissant d'une machine gaming, en commercialisant des kits de mise a jour pour ce dernier. Compte tenu de l'investissement que represente un portable gaming, cette possibilite devrait en faire rever plus d'un"

    Thank you very much, I am looking from now for a good performance Tuning book writen by Jonathan Lewis. I dont think Jonathan can come to Spain and give lessons...Anyway I will email to him...
    But, could you please clarify 2 points to me
    1- Should I modify manually memory parameters like buffer cache, shared pool, large pool etc...if those areas are spotted Small and areas causes of performace problem in the AWR, ADDM or ASH reports even if the memory is automatic managed ?
    In the case of yes, Why Oracle named it "Memory automatic managed" if I have to set some values of memory manually ?
    2- When ADDM report suggests me to increase the SGA size; from where ADDM got this recomandation?. I mean is it recomandation based on statistics collected of Both Oracle and OS ? I am asking this question because, from our report I ran 3 weeks ago, ADDM suggested me to increase the SGA to 10GB (total memeory of the serve is 16GB), I did the change and from that moment the server is SWAP... and now ADDM report suggests me again to increase the SGA to 12GB .

  • EJB3/JBoss vs. JDO2/Kodo

    Hi,
    does anybody here per chance have a (convincing ;) feature comparison between
    EJB3/JBoss and JDO2/Kodo (Enterprise)? I'm not talking about support here, as that
    can be purchased for JBoss as well.
    My intuition says that Kodo is better technology and e.g. has better documentation,
    but unfortunately that's too subjective to convince anybody else (which I'd really
    like to).
    Thanks for any information,
    J__rg.

    Thank you a lot for this even longer answer! Whenever someone asks me again why we
    should go for Kodo, I'll give him a printout of this mail, just saying to him "read
    this" ;)
    Neelan Choksi schrieb:
    It is clear that Kodo 4 complies to EJB3 (although it is notproduction-ready
    currently).No implementation that supports EJB3 is production ready currently. That
    is simply because the EJB3 specification just moved into public draft 2
    weeks ago. There are still a lot of changes that are taking place in the
    EJB3 spec (simply compare the Early Draft to the Public Draft and you'll
    see how much things are changing). I am not criticizing the spec - I am
    just pointing out that the spec is at a specific point in its life cycle
    and there are a lot of really smart people including our CTO Patrick
    Linskey trying to make sure 1) it is a good specification and 2) trying to
    drive the specification forward to completion.
    That said there are a lot of O/R Mapping products that are production
    ready. I am going to limit my comments in this thread to focus on what
    Kodo, the product, does well and not go into the differences in the
    specifications.
    I would also encourage you to take a look at both specifications and
    determine which specification is right for you. Although fundamentally
    similar, I believe certain developers will feel more comfortable with JDO
    and certain developers will feel more comfortable with EJB3.
    One distinguishing characteristic about Kodo is that you can use EJB 3 and
    JDO 2 interoperably. This is a very big difference than some of the other
    products that are on the market esp. since each specification has things
    that the other specification is missing. Kodo gives you the best of both
    worlds and allows you to choose how much of each world you want to use.
    A pattern that we see emerging is that a lot of new customers are excited
    to use our JDO standard support today and get the productivity gains that
    Kodo provides today. While they wait to see if EJB3 Persistence meets
    their needs and while they wait for their companies to adopt the
    technology that EJB3 requires (JEE 5 and an app server that supports JEE
    5), they will get the benefits of a solid O/R mapping tool that is based
    on a standard. Over time, the interoperability that Kodo provides will
    allow them to migrate piecemeal to EJB3 Persistence as it matures, thereby
    managing their risk of adopting new technologies. Some of our customers
    will migrate quickly and some have no plans of migrating ever. In any
    case, Kodo provides a pathway for them.
    But I can get the JBOSS implementation of EJB3 for free, why should
    I pay
    more for Kodo when it doesn't give me more functionality or performance?Abe has highlighted a number of technical features that distinguish Kodo.
    I would encourage you to evaluate those features in a serious manner.
    Often times we see other products who claim to have a given feature that
    is in Kodo but when you actually use the feature, there are big
    differences in quality and functionality. For example, I know that a
    number of O/R mapping products claim to have a JMX management console but
    I also know that the depth of functionality that is specific to O/R
    mapping and ease of use of Kodo's Management Console was a big enough
    differentiator that clients have asked to purchase the Management Console
    standalone (FYI, to date we have not chosen to sell it standalone).
    Regarding performance, this is one of the hardest things to compare.
    We've been asked often if we have benchmarking numbers. The problem with
    benchmarks is that a benchmark can be written to say anything you really
    want. I would encourage you to benchmark for your specific application.
    When properly tuned, I have not seen Kodo lose a benchmark since we
    released Kodo 3 over a year ago. And we've seen some wins that have
    really excited us e.g., Kodo + relational database has beaten existing
    applications with object databases in performance / scalability
    comparisons.
    I also would like to highlight that a big differentiator between Kodo and
    other products is the business model each employs. SolarMetric's focus is
    selling product and occasionally selling services. As such, we do things
    like take the most common of our experiences with performance tuning and
    the most common support cases on performance / scalability and generalized
    them into a chapter on optimizations techniques in our documentation. We
    created the Management Console and Profiler to help customers resolve
    their own performance / scalability issues. Other organizations that have
    different models, e.g., solely services, are not motivated to provide this
    level of best practices documentation and / or tools because that cuts
    into their ability to provide services work.
    I'm often in the same situation like J__rg. Always defending the decision touse
    kodo (and doing so in future times) against statements like 'if we switch toEJB
    why stay with kodo if we can get everything with JBoss/Hibernate for "free" 'Ok, even the JBoss guys admit that they are a business (there are some
    recent interviews with Marc Fleury where he distinguishes between open
    source hobbyists and professional open source where the goal is to
    generate revenue). The reality is that how JBoss makes money is different
    than how SolarMetric makes money, but nonetheless JBoss has to make money
    to stay in business and to keep their investors happy just as SolarMetric
    does.
    What we've found interesting over the past few months is that many of our
    enterprise customers who need support services and indemnification
    protection have found that Kodo breaks even with open source solutions
    when analyzed over a 1-2 year span and is dramatically cheaper over a 5
    year span (simply comparing the costs of license and support between the
    two). When factoring in other things e.g., quality of support, attitude
    of support personnel, cost of training, quality of training, ease of use,
    cost / time of contributing to the open source project, cost of digging in
    the code of the open source project, Kodo has a lower Total Cost of
    Ownership (TCO).
    One final point to highlight with Kodo is that our model is not based on
    certain customers of ours subsidizing all of the rest of our customers.
    Such a model has a lot of business risk associated with it because the
    customers that are willing to pay for services are customers that are
    highly coveted. It is often dangerous to wake sleeping giants and put
    your business at risk (see
    http://www.forbes.com/home/intelligentinfrastructure/2005/06/15/jboss-ibm-linux_cz_dl_0615jboss.html).
    I guess the bottom line is that JBoss/Hibernate or other open source
    alternatives aren't free whether you look at out of pockets costs, TCO, or
    risk.
    Anyway. I'm convinced of kodo's robustnest - never had less problems whenusing
    a third party product. If you describe a feature in the manual usually itworks.
    Also the good pluggable architecture was worth its money ... it helpedeverytime
    other implementation surely would have let us down.
    Unfortunataly that are all things that you only realize, when you use it and
    they are pretty difficult to communicate to decision makers, who are aboveme ;-)
    Thank you for the compliments. I believe that the competition we've faced
    supporting standards has made us quite bit stronger than products that
    have been historically proprietary. The challenge with proprietary
    products (e.g., TopLink and Hibernate) was that once you used them, you
    have to re-write your entire data access infrastructure to switch away
    from them. Having to support standards (JDO historically and now EJB 3)
    for the past 4 years has meant that we've faced severe competition and the
    only way for us to succeed was to build superior quality products that
    have more functionality and better scalability and performance than
    anything else out there. If we didn't, our customers could simply pick up
    another of as many as 25 JDO implementations and try it out to see if
    there was something better.
    That said, the fact that our differentiators are a bit more subtle is one
    of the challenges that we face as a business. A lot of the things that
    differentiate Kodo e.g., Profiler, Management Console, Large Results Sets
    Handling, Custom Fetch Groups, Lock Groups, Query Editor, etc. are things
    that typically aren't evaluated very closely in a typical time-constrained
    evaluations, but are absolutely critical when deploying in production
    environments and when using Kodo with Agile Programming Methodologies.
    The pluggable architecture that you reference is also very important
    because many of our customers have constraints that prevent them from
    fitting into a specific box. Again when a prospect does an eval, they
    typically evaluate standard mappings and base functionality but the
    reality is that the real world often brings up issues that no matter how
    good the implementation is there will be something that isn't supported.
    In our opinion, a pluggable architecture provides a cleaner way of
    allowing customers to customize what they need rather than digging into
    someone else's source code.
    The things that we've heard from customers who have switched from other
    solutions are:
    - Kodo produces extremely clean SQL relative to other tools and
    consequently has better performance and scaling characteristics
    - Kodo's documentation and error messaging are extensive and makes
    debugging quite easy
    - Kodo's javadocs are extensive and provides a useful framework to
    customize a wide variety of things.
    - When tuning an application, Kodo provides a number of facilities and
    tools for doing so relative to any other O/R mapping tools out there.
    - Kodo's tooling is a large differentiator; in particular, the Kodo Query
    Editor, the Profiler and the Management Console are often cited as
    distinguishing features.
    Also, one additional benefit with SolarMetric is that we are independent.
    Our agenda is very clear - we are trying to create value for you such that
    we get paid. There are no hidden agendas e.g., using Kodo as a loss
    leader to sell you an object database, an application server, an entire
    stack of products, training, services, etc. We simply are trying to build
    a high quality product that meets our customers' needs that works well
    with all the other technology products out there.
    I hope between Abe's post and this post, we have helped you with arguments
    for your management.
    I'd encourage you to evaluate yourself and give us feedback.
    Also, do not hesitate to contact me directly with any specific questions
    or if you want me to review any documentation that you put together for
    your management.
    Thanks for your questions and interest. Stefan, thank you for being a
    loyal customer.

    If you have Acrobat, not Reader, you can make small edits to text with the "Select tool".
    I've had the same problem with sending PDFs for editorial approval, as the person with the final say can't (all of a sudden) select text.
    The main problem is that there is a setting in the Edit menu under Preferences | General (this is from using Acrobat version 9, I'm not sure about version 8 or 6, you'll have to look) and it is a check box labeled "Make hand tool select text & images". If that is checked, then it is enabled and you can select and make edits.
    Your other problem is that OCR only takes a scanned image and creates selectable text from the image (the Optical Characters part of OCR) of the words. Some people don't know you can have a PDF of an image which has no selectable text but is all type and words, as it is all pixels (image). It is the difference between a MS-Word document (text) and a Photoshop document (pixels).
    There might be other factors but the above are the most common.

  • License for "non profit organisations"

    Hi Kodo Developer,
    my native language is german - so please excuse any curios diction...
    I'm working with Kodo since my degree dissertation in December 2001.
    Your work and the surrounding topics about object/relation-mapping was
    the root of the matter, so thanks to all people, who mangaged to get
    Kodo working. Especially thanks for your help in the newsgroup many mothes
    ago!
    As i mentioned: Kodo was part of my dissertation, which comprised a
    midrange
    project to store and retrieve data of corneas and their donors. The
    ophthalmic clinic (one of the bigest in Germany) is depend on my work,
    because clinics in
    Germany are suppost to be non profit and so they depend on the money they
    get from department of health. And as you may know the finacial situation
    in this sector is very bad. This is one of the reason why my work for
    this project is for free! So let me ask you: is there any way to get Kodo
    not for free (of course!) but for less than the full license price? Is it
    possible to buy a "No Deployment"- License - just for the current project?
    I dont now if its possible to avoid any use outside this project - but i
    assure so that i will not use this special license in other projects.
    Maybe Solarmetric is selling academicaly license?
    So please think about my petition - the clinic is a non profit
    organisation!
    But let me be more technical:
    I'm using for busines-classes no ide - just ant (apache sf) as build tool.
    The database is PostgreSQL and MySQL. For testing i use the database from
    enhydra. In the Future there is the plan to use this solution to exchange
    cornea and donor data between several clinics so there is the need for
    the distributed (enterprise) version.
    In the end let me thank you all once again for implementing the jdo
    specification!
    Best regards, Claudius Gr____ver
    PS: When i employed (searching still) i will any time suggest my employer
    to use Kodo!

    Hi Claudius,
    We most definitely have a Academic Program for teachers and researchers. In
    addition, we have put together a program for non-profit organizations as
    well. For more information and an application for the program, please
    contact [email protected]
    Thank you for the kind words about Kodo JDO. I don't know if you've had a
    chance to download Kodo JDO 2.3.1, but we are very excited about the changes
    in this most current version of Kodo JDO that includes a preview release of
    our reverse schema mapping tool.
    I have cc'd [email protected] to make sure we get you the right
    agreements and application forms to you.
    Thanks for your support over the past 8 months.

    JDeveloper is ok, but many other issues, like Java Stored Procedures, EJB in OAS or in o8i, CORBA etc are for a novice like me a complete jungle, where there's no survival. Please improve docs and tutorials; no more perfect theoretical ideas, just tell me how to do it!

  • I'm fed up with Mountain Lion. Is there a way to return to Snow Leopard?

    Every thing was fine until the "upgrade". Now I can not print, stream music via Airport, or use any other device on the wirless net. Computer can't find them. Plus I'm com[pletely conused over ICloud and would like to eliminate it completely.

    Once you get straightened out consider backing up via a bootable clone. It can solve a lot of problems.

  • BB Link software - another BB disaster? Fails to even run now - C++ Runtime errors - any solutions?

    As if the latest BB10 / BB Link software wasn't bad enough in terms of functionality - now BB Link won't even run. 
    I recently discovered by chance (thank for not telling any of your customers RIM), that they'd mildly updated BB Link so that it could actually now two-sync Outlook for contact/calendar etc. I've been using the updated software for about three weeks. Problem?
    Now it won't even run. 
    I get the following error showing on the screen - a C++ runtime error, followed by these details. Anyone know what it means or how to resolve it? 
    Would I better off actually chucking my Z10 out of the window, claiming on the insurance and just getting a phone from someone else? I probably would. Why, why, why do I persist with BB who refuse to release things that their customers want? 
    Rant over - any help, very much appreciated.

    I have taken a look and while it's so tempting to just pay the miniscule fee and use that, I spose my gripe is that there is no reason why the link software should not work epecially as it did with my first Q10 (and brilliantly I must add) it's just since I had to exchange my handset that it's all got to pot.
    And worse yet no one at RIM seems to be forthcoming with a response (on the support site, or any of the many customer forums) about this issue which is effecting quite a few users (the forums are buzzing with problems with Link and no real way to report them. *sigh*
