A shared Text editor - question about JEditorPane

Hi there,
I'm trying to make a shared Text Editor. So far I have the ability to pass messages across from one client to another. I have all the GUI elements in the "main" Class, and the Connection elements in separate Classes; in particular the receivedPacket method which listens for specific packets. Now I'm able to print in my Terminal window the received packets (via a simple System.out.println call). Is it possible to grab the packet information from the "main" Class and then append that information to the JEditorPane (which has been constructed in the main Class)? Or would it be better to create the JEditorPane in the Class with the receivedPacket and then add the information straight away to the editor window?
Thanks
:)

Thanks for the guidance, I think you're right. Nice to hear you've done something similar.
What I have up and running is:
1) GUI elements created in the main class (Class Exchange)
2) A Connection class that handles the connection to the server and adds packet listeners to the incoming packets (Class Connection)
3) A class that filters and stores the packets (Class Comms)
Now I'm using a protocol called Jabber (instant messaging protocol) so I'm using the JabberBeans library for all Jabber stuff (i.e. Connection and packet listeners etc..). Now the receivedPackets method within the Comms Class then extracts the <body> of what I want to another method within the Comms Class which then returns that String value. This works as it prints to the Terminal window when run and packets are received.
What I'm having difficulty in understanding (although I think its straightforward) is why I can't take that returned value and have it update in my JEditorPane window (which is in the main Class (Exchange)), it doesnt like it for some reason and complains about something from the JabberBeans library.
I'm unsure about how to update the JEditorPane; would it be to write a method in the main class that calls in the returned <body> String value (which is what I thought would be right)? Or is there something else I've missed. In the JabberBeans API the returned value is of type String, I'm guessing that maybe I need to move that into a StringBuffer for the sake of the JEditorPane.. Or is that just guessing?
Thanks for the help, hope you get a moment..

DNG Profile Editor - questions about

0) Thank to Eric Chan for your work on this. Until now I used the Camera Calibration process through Photoshop and Camera Calibration table. But I see this as a big progress.
1) Will it stay only DNG editor or it will be also for raw pictures without a necessity to convert them to dng?
2) Will it be only stand alone aplication or as well a part of the LR?
3) Now I can switched off and on one color change (by the left mark in the Color List Box). Could it be possible to switch off and on the whole Color List Box to see all done changes?
4) I have red your comment that this tool doesn't work with lightness, only hue and saturation. But if I want to work on a specific picture (i.e. a man wearing a red sweater), it will be fine to have it in the brightness close to an end picture. Will it be possible to open a picture not only with WB, but also with exposure, blacks and other basic development setting?
5) Under the eye drop tool, I can see numbers of "initial" or "starting" color. But I can't see the numbers of changed color. It would be fine if I know the new numbers to see how close I am to them. It would be fine if the number over the color List Box will be also for starting color and also for end colors.
And one little proposal: if the color will not change, show in Color List Box only the starting (left) half of a color. Than I can simply see that I didn't set a new color or the color stay exactly the same (it is only a question if exactly the same or very close to the same).
6) It could be, that I will not use the exact color checker table for what you did process on the tab Chart. But many of color checker are delivered with exact numbers and picture on a cd, so it will be fine if I could open this "master" picture of a checker producer in a right panel under the Color List Box and simply take from it the end colors. First go to the main picture on left, choose the "initial color" and then simply go to this "master" picture in right and take the "end color". What do you think about this?
7) If I work on the tab Chart, I get the error window "not neutral gray patches, row 4 culumn 1". But if I move the circle to row 4 culumn 2 it works fine. Is there any difference or problem?
8) And last: how far is acting the shift of color. It will not work only for the one color but close surroundings will be also efeccted. How smal or large is the surroundings? E.g. if we take 360 degres for hue.

Oracle text (basic question about availability)

Dear sirs,
I want to confirm what I think to be true:
Oracle text is standard/builit in component of Oracle 11g (enterprise edition). Anybody who is licensed
to use Oracle 11g (enterprise edition) should be licensed to use Oracle text and have access to this product.

Hi,
yes it is true. But all the editions of the Oracle Database have Oracle Text and you may use it if you licensed the database.

Questions about DNG Profile Editor recipe code

I have been playing around with DNG Profile Editor. With a text editor I made the following recipe:
I have some questions:
1. Right now I have my control points at 60 saturation. Will using two points for each color (say 70 and 40) make my changes more consistent across darker and lighter shades of the specific color?
2. Does DNG Profile editor respect HueLow and HueHigh, are they just placeholder numbers, or are they ignored if two points are close to each other?
3. What does FeatherAdjust do? I'm guessing it controls the rate of drop off of the corrections. Is the value respected by DNG Profile editor when it creates a profile?
Thanks for your time and attention, -Bruce.

Legality questions about Home Sharing

I have some legality questions about Apple's Home Sharing technology.
As I understand it, you can share (that is, copy it from one computer to another) your music, movies, applications and other iTunes-managed files amongst five computers. The only 'trick' is that each computer must have an iTunes Store account and must be logged in in order for it to work.
My question concerns the copying aspect and the legality of it. For content that was purchased through the iTunes Store I can see how Home Sharing can provide a limitation on content sharing, since all of the machines would need to be connected to Apple's servers in order for the validation process to happen. But what about content that was added to iTunes through other means, e.g., ripping my own CDs or converting my DVDs? These items can still be copied via Home Sharing and as there's no DRM on them there's no way they can be protected against "illegal" or "unauthorized" use.
It was my understanding that if I gave a copy of a song to someone else, that's illegal. Apple's Home Sharing technology seems to facilitate this action. If I rip a CD or DVD into iTunes and someone copies it out, isn't that making an illegal copy? Can I be held liable for distribution of content?
And how far does this extend? If I live in a house with four unrelated people, are they legally (?) allowed to copy music and media amongst each another? Is there a perceived or actual difference between using Home Sharing to copy a movie versus, say, using a USB flash drive? And what if one of them moves out? Am I legally obligated to go through that person's hard drive and remove content that they copied from me before they leave the building?
Does Home Sharing somehow retroactively change the copyright application on a given CD or DVD? Most of my CDs and DVDs contain notices and warnings against distributing copies. Can these warnings now be ignored, or at least amended with "...unless you're using iTunes Home Sharing" at the ends of them?
I am not trying to stir up a hornet's nest here. I'm only trying to better understand the legal issues surrounding Home Sharing and particularly how they relate to unprotected content. It seems very contradictory that the RIAA and MPAA would be fighting so hard against peer-to-peer services like BitTorrent and Gnutella while apparently allowing peer-to-peer services through iTunes Home Sharing.
Furthermore, I also understand that the intention of this system was to allow families who are living together to have common access to all of the "household" music, but my issues aren't about this. I envision, for example, a college dorm building where there's several hundred people living together on the same network subnet, and all of them have Home Sharing enabled and everyone is copying thousands and thousands of songs to/from one another. Is this now legal?
Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks.

If I rip a CD or DVD into iTunes and someone copies it out, isn't that making an illegal copy?
RIPping of commercial, encrypted DVDs (most of them) is illegal to begin with. Or rather, breaking the encryption on a DVD is illegal and in order to RIP the DVD, you must break the encryption. SO you have already "broken the law" by having a copy on your computer.
Most of my CDs and DVDs contain notices and warnings against distributing copies.
Most of your DVDs have a notice about even simply making a copy, not only distributing copies.
Much of your post has been cussed and discussed by many, many people (lawyers, corporations, organizations, individuals, etc.) and no one has come (or likely ever will come) to a complete agreement.
Generally, "sharing" in the same house hold amongst family members seems to be okay. Outside the same household/family is almost always not okay.
I envision, for example, a college dorm building where there's several hundred people living together on the same network subnet, and all of them have Home Sharing enabled and everyone is copying thousands and thousands of songs to/from one another. Is this now legal?
No.
This is exactly what Napster was and why they were sued & shut down.
I imagine Apple lawyers have done their homework as well as consulted with the labels to discuss these exact issues.
And it's called "Home Sharing" to indicate that it is not "Dorm Sharing" or "Workplace Sharing", or even simply "Library Sharing"etc. even though it may be possible to use it in other places than the Home.
Users on other computers need to know your iTunes ID and password to enable it Home Sharing. Likely this is how Apple got the lables to be okay with it.
Are you gonna give (and get) dozens/hundreds/thousands/any other users your iTunesID & password?
You can contact Apple Legal here -> http://www.apple.com/legal

Question about upgrading iTunes multiple computers with shared library

Greetings,
I have a question about upgrading to the current version of iTunes.
Currently, my household uses 3 Mac computers (2 Powerbook 17in laptops and a Mack Mini). We are all (currently) on system 10.4.11 (with iTunes 9.2.1). Between the 3 computers we have a shared iTunes music and video library on a networked high capacity hard drive.
We recently purchased an iPad. In order to make it easy for updates and to use media from our iTunes shared library I decided that we should upgrade the systems on our home computers to Snow Leopard. I have ensured that all the computers have at lease 2 Gb of RAM and adequate hard drive space.
The only possible problem I see is that one of the Powerbook laptops uses the old Motorola processor. (This is one of the last Powerbooks to use that processor.) I don’t think this computer can be upgraded to Snow Leopard.
My question is, if I upgrade 2 of the computers (and iTunes in the process), will I still be able to access the shared iTunes library using the older computer with the older system and iTunes? Will the upgrade process change the iTunes library in such a way that the one older computer will no longer be able to properly access that library?
Are there any other problems I might encounter having a mixed system/iTunes environment?
Thank you,
Tim

Just a thought. Should I somehow open iTunes on MBP2 using MBP1's Library file??
both Macs can access the same library file, however, only one at a time !
to do that, you would ideally have the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) on the external. then, on one Mac after the other, launch iTunes while holding the option key, click on +choose library+ when prompted, and select the iTunes folder on the external.
or, you could have two separate libraries and keep those in sync using third party tools such as Syncopation, TuneRanger or SuperSync.
for purchases from the iTunes store, you could set up _*Home Sharing*_ - it can be configured to automatically transfer new purchases to home shared libraries.
Can I create a script to have MBP1 always save the iTunes Library file on the shared hard drive?
no need.

From USB to IEEE-1394: question about HD capture, editing, sharing.

I’m new to editing video but have a question about capturing video into Premiere Elements 7. I have been using a Canon HF11 which shoots only in HD and only has USB output to copy video to my desktop. I don’t have a Blu-ray burner yet but I have burned a few projects to DVD, shared video on YouTube, and saved files in .avi and .mpeg to view on computer screens. But obviously I’m missing out on sharing HD on disk at this time. I just bought a Canon XH A1s which shoots both HD and SD on miniDV tapes. And uses IEEE-1394 cable for capturing (to Pre7). I did a 3 minute test project in SD and burned it on a DVD disk. I was very pleased at the results and the ease of editing. I don’t have any HD tapes yet, but when I do what differences will I experience from shooting in HD and then capturing, editing, then to sharing? My current HD processes with the HF11 is slow, occasional low-resources warnings, and less then pleasing results on DVD disks. Thanks for any and all comments and/or suggestions.

Your HF11 is AVCHD format and the Canon XH A1 is HDV MPEG2. AVCHD takes a lot more computer horespower to edit compared to HDV MPEG2... main reason being that AVCHD is more highly compressed giving small file sizes. This is also why you get the low resource and memory alarms while editing.
To shoot HD you do not need HD miniDV tapes you can use the standard miniDV tapes. However the HD tapes are supposed to give fewer drop-outs than the standard tapes but are considerable more expensive. With DV-AVI a drop out would be hardly noticed, but as HDV MPEG2 is a compressed format and the picture relies on information in a number of frames any drop-outs can give a second or so of bad video. That said I have had very few issues with drop-outs. If you are doing a wedding or something important that you do not want to risk then probably better to use a HD miniDV tape.
In the past the advise has been to capture in high definition to get the best quality and then downconvert in the camcorder and capture in DV-AVI... the reason being that older versions of Premiere Elements did not do a good job of the down conversion. Reports on PE7 indicate it is better and that you could use a HDV workflow and burn to DVD as a last stage. This also allows you to export a high definition version of your video to view on a monitor where you can appreciate the higher resolution. Or in the future when you have a Blu-ray burner and player you can burn the file to disc... save doing all the editing all over.

Questions about shared maps

Hi,
I have some questions about shared maps. Our Olite Applications has 96 tables. On these 96 tables, 54 tables are tables with DISABLED DML = UID. So, change on the client database are not uploaded to the server. Some of those tables have no where clause and some have a where clause which is the same where clause for all.
Is it true to say I could put all those tables as shared maps?
Are they automatically shared because DISABLED DML = UID?
What would be the advantages of putting those publications items as shared maps?
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help.
I looked into CMP$ tables and CLID$$CS is not 0 but egal to my usersnames. I use a java program to create my items and publications.
I also found in the table C$ALL_TEMPLATE_ITEMS a COLUMN named SHARED and they are all with the value N. So I think they are not shared.
I think I found where in the API I should make the table shared. It is in the addPublicationItem procedure of the Class ConsolidatorManager. I will try it.
If we want all users to have all the table data, must we use the groups you talked about?
If yes, how do i define those groups?
Thanks

Question About Sharing Apps Between My iPhone and My Wife's iPhone

Hi, I have a question about downloading apps to my iPhone.
I ordered two iPhone 3g's - one for my wife and one for me, and I've discovered that when I download an app (even free ones) on my iPhone and then later sync it to iTunes, my wife cannot put it on her phone. However if I download it on iTunes on my computer and later sync it to my phone, then my wife is able to sync it to her phone as well. It's no big deal when they are free because she can just go get it if she wants it. I haven't purchased any apps yet, but is there a way to be able to give my wife apps that I purchase on my iPhone? Or do I need to purchase all of my [pay] apps and songs on iTunes on my computer to ensure we both have access? Or do I have it all wrong completely LOL?? This rights management stuff is confusing.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Jimmy

I had my iTunes account and phone before I got my wife's hers. When I first started, I synced hers from her account on my computer brought in my libraries and authorized her phone as one of the 5 allowed. She had all purchased apps and music. Over time we each bought music or apps on our seperate accouts. Of course, we told each other about cool apps or music we bought and wanted on our phone. When I went to sync iTunes was going to delete all music and apps and sync with the library I was logged into. Didn't want that, only work around I have found is to copy new music or new apps from one library to the other. Updating on the phone is also difficult because you can't switch between accounts so updates have to be done at the computer for apps bought under different accounts. I am sure there is a better way to do this and ask for an insight anyone would have. I hope it works out.

EBS 12.1.3: a few questions about cloning

Hi,
We have EBS 12.1.3 on AIX 7.1.
A few questions about cloning from shared application tier environment to non-shared application tier environment. We have been following "Cloning Oracle Applications Release 12 with Rapid Clone [ID 406982.1]"
Source environment (shared app tier):
- Two active application nodes and LB
- One active database and one passive database setup with Oracle Data Guard.
- SSL termination at the load balancer
- PCP implemented
Target environment (non-shared app tier):
- One active application node
- One active database node
- No SSL
- No PCP
After the cloning was completed we noticed the following problems in the target system:
1) Home page cannot be accessed as application tier $CONTEXT_FILE still contains "https" and ssl termination settings.
Workaround:
Modify (with text editor) Application Tier $CONTEXT_FILE as follows.
<webentryurlprotocol oa_var="s_webentryurlprotocol" customized="yes">http</webentryurlprotocol>
<sslterminator oa_var="s_enable_sslterminator">#</sslterminator>
<login_page oa_var="s_login_page" customized="yes">http://myhost.mydomain.com:8000/OA_HTML/AppsLogin</login_page>
<externURL oa_var="s_external_url" customized="yes">http://myhost.mydomain.com:8000</externURL>
Run AutoConfig and start application tier.
Is there a better and supported solution for this?
2) Concurrent managers do not work correctly as they have still old node names (used in PCP in the source system). Workaround used:
1. Logon to EBS web GUI and remove all nodes from all concurrent managers.
2. Shutdown application tier. Verify that all concurrent managers have been shutdown. If not, kill the processes manually
3. As apps user run cmclean.sql
4. Restart application tier
Is there a better solution for this?
3) Database changes from ARCHIVELOG mode to nonarchivelog mode in the target system. Is there anyway to prevent this?
4) Also, we would like to perform a full clone (app + db tiers) from production without shutting down the application. Is this possible? What would be the best documents to describe this? In Production, we have Oracle Data Guard setup with physical standby as per "Oracle Tech Note: Business Continuity for Oracle E-Business Release 12 Using Oracle 11g Physical Standby Database [ID 1070033.1]". This can be used when performing a hot clone for the database, right? What about the application tier? Steps described in 406982.1 include running AutoConfig in which application tier should be down. Does the application need to be down when running "Maintain Snapshot Information"?
5) One final question (not related to cloning). Oracle Enterprise Manager console webUI has recently stopped working in IE8. E.g. https://myhost.mydomain.com:5501/em gives "Page cannot be displayed". This was working correctly last week. In Firefox, the same link is working fine. Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks for your answers in advance.

3. As apps user run cmclean.sql
4. Restart application tier
Is there a better solution for this?You are following the best approach. You could update the node details from the backend if you want.
3) Database changes from ARCHIVELOG mode to nonarchivelog mode in the target system. Is there anyway to prevent this?By default, Rapid Clone will create the target database in noarchivelog mode.
4) Also, we would like to perform a full clone (app + db tiers) from production without shutting down the application. Is this possible? What would be the best documents to describe this? In Production, we have Oracle Data Guard setup with physical standby as per "Oracle Tech Note: Business Continuity for Oracle E-Business Release 12 Using Oracle 11g Physical Standby Database [ID 1070033.1]". This can be used when performing a hot clone for the database, right? Correct.
What about the application tier? Steps described in 406982.1 include running AutoConfig in which application tier should be down. Does the application need to be down when running "Maintain Snapshot Information"?You can copy the application tier node files while the application is up. And, you do not need to shutdown the application to run "Maintain Snapshot Information".
5) One final question (not related to cloning). Oracle Enterprise Manager console webUI has recently stopped working in IE8. E.g. https://myhost.mydomain.com:5501/em gives "Page cannot be displayed". This was working correctly last week. In Firefox, the same link is working fine. Any ideas how to fix this?
If it is working from one browser, then it should not be an EM issue. Have you tried from a different client and see if this works? Have you changed any setting in your IE browser? Please make sure you add the EM URL to the trusted sites list.
Thanks,

Just installed iOS6, questions about "iMessage" and other things...

I've been a satisfied iOS4 user since I bought my iPhone4, but I was forced to install iOS6 tonight in order to download a "free" app. I found a few new icons on the screen along with about 200 percent more "Settings" I'd like to ask some questions about. I'm sure a few of these could be answered by doing a frantic and thorough search through weeks of posts but I'm a little short on time right now.
First, what exactly is iMessage? Looking at the page for it, I can't see any difference between it and regular text messages. The info page says its to avoid charges, but between my data plan and not being charged for text I don't see where theres any other benefit. The one person I text with the most recently asked me why I had not installed iMessage yet, and didn't have an answer when I asked him why I should. I guess he just wanted to see text replies in blue instead of green.
In a related bit, flipping through Settings>Messages>Send & Receive I find a "2 addresses" section, with my phone number in there as well as my email under "You can be reached by iMessage at:" and "Start new conversations from:". What good does it do iMessages to have my email address? Does the Mail app handle text as well as email addresses? That seems to be the only explanation, and also very odd to think I'd be trying to text through my Mail app.
Second, looking through the Settings>Mail I see now that I have an icloud email address as well as the mac.com address I've been desperately hanging on to for the past 10 years, and the me.com address they've been trying to force me into since those came out. (I was happy to see I could delete the me.com address from the phone. I wish I could delete it from the universe.)
I wasn't even aware there was a such thing as icloud.com addresses. When did this happen? What is it used for?
Third, under that icloud Setting I see a long list of apps with buttons labeled "Off" under it. What are those for? Under the Mac.com settings I see switches for "Mail" and "Notes", with Mail on and Notes off. The Notes app (which I haven't used since my old iPhone 3) still opens, regardless of this setting.
Fourth, I now have an item called "Facetime" under my Settings. It is off, but underneath it says "Your phone number and/or email address will be shared with people you call". I understand caller ID normally sends caller number info to the receiver, but why would someone need my email address if I call them?
Fifth, I now have a "Music" setting, at the bottom of which I see a "Home Sharing" item, which when clicked brings up my AppleID and asks me if I want to Sign Out or Cancel. What is Home Sharing? Its also at the bottom of the "Video" settings.
Sixth, now I have Twitter and Facebook settings? For what? I don't have accounts with either of those companies. So why have settings, especially since it asks me to create accounts and download apps for those companies right in the Settings?
Seventh, there is a camera icon on the unlock screen. Touching it causes the screen to bounce up about a quarter inch, almost but not quite revealing something behind it. I should probably just quit asking about this stuff already, but I'll take the bait - what is this now?
Finally, what is the Notification Center used for?
If I got a text under iOS4, it would put an alert on the Unlock screen. Scrolling through this huge list of things under the Notification settings I'm really blown away by all the apps set up to yell at me. I can see having an alert for a text message but Game Center? What the heck is that, and why is it set up to hit me with a "Badge App Icon" (whatever that is) when I get alerts from "Everyone". Similarly, the phone is set to alert me to something called a "Photostream Alert"? What is this? Why is there a Phone section for the Notification Center? So they can put a Notice on my screen to tell me the phone is ringing? Holy cow! The phone is set to send me alerts from the "Weather Widget". So if I miss the fact its raining there will be a message on my screen to let me know? Whats next - a buzzer to tell me I'm listening to music?
There's a lot more, like what would I need Passbook for when I have the actual movie tickets, gate boarding passes, coupons, etc in my hands, but we'll leave that for another time. Many thanks to all who can offer some answers to my questions above.

Is a text editor really better than Dreamweaver?

Hi Everyone,
I've been looking through several different web design forums
and I'm now stuck with a question. Why do some people swear by
using only a text editor to put their website together and totally
discount programs such as Dreamweaver? I find this quite strange
because a website amongst other things is a highly visual
experience usually not showing a single line of code to the end
user. I get the impression that some people feel that Dreamweaver
is beneath them as they are "highly skilled coders" and only
amateurs use WYSIWYGs! Is it just me or am I correct in thinking
there is an element of snobbery here? To me it seems that
Dreamweaver has advantages in abundance and for the so called
hardcore coders there's even a code view which is much more
powerful than a simple text editor. One final thing, I see that
people complain about so called bad code that Dreamweaver writes.
Is it true that Dreamweaver writes bad code and if so what's bad
about it?
Many thanks, I'll be fascinated to read your
responses.

Let's see entire sites, good-sized professional ones. :-)

Efficient data structure to implement simple text editor?

I was given this problem in an interview:
What data structure would you use to implement a simple text editor that does these 4 functions:
a) goto(line number)
b) insert(char input,location)
c) delete(location)
d) printAll() //print entire file
Given that i'm such a newb, i was stumped. I came up with making a 2d array that would allow for o(1) time for goto, but o(n) for everything else (shifting everything in the array). there were other downfalls too dealing with space issues and such, but he wanted me to optimize this data structure. I then came up with a linked list of arrays, but that had similar problems.
But thinking about it further is driving me a little crazy so I'm wondering if you guys have any suggestions on how to answer this question...
one thing that came to mind after is to implement the data structure as a binary tree, where each node contains
class Node
char theChar
int position; // ie 0 = first character in the file, and 81 could be the first character in the 2nd line
node left,right,parent;
}so how it works is the cursor would know where the location was so i would know where to delete and insert within the tree.
insert {
     //search for location to insert after (log n)
       //create new character node and append to current node
     //increment position for all subsequent children
delete(x) {
     search for x position
     if found, remove node and decrement position value for all children
goto(line #) {
     return line # * 80 (or whatever max length for a single line)
}the major problem i see here is balancing the tree after every insert/delete
Thanks in advance.

One of many great things emacs has given us is the gap buffer:

To see a Java implementation of this you can look in the Java SDK source. The document model (I forget exactly what its called), used in Swing uses a gap buffer.

LV prototype as an add-on to a text editor

Hello. I'm new to the LV community online. I'm looking for advice on how to use LV as a stand alone text editor or preferably an add-on for editors like Word, Lasik, or even Notepad.
What I'm trying to do is make a prototype of a text editor, but I don't want to code the actual editor. I'd like to only code the add-ons with LV and use something like Notepad or Word as the editor.
So what I'm thinking is to have LV running while I type a paper in a different editor. What types of functions from the "all functions" pallet do I want to start learning about in LV? I have a pretty good grasp of LV, but I have never done anything like this. All my work as been done with data collection and analysis.
Thank you everyone and please let me know if I need to be more specific with my question,
Kyle
