Advice/resources on creating a department directory?

Good evening all. I'm designing and devloping a skeleton program which stores and manipulates a directory of employees in a particular department of a company. Such a directory needs to contain each employee's name, room number, telephone number etc., and be accessible to most company members, displaying a menu that allows a user to select and process different options. Any suggestions on what member function prototypes I should use or any other tidbits would be highly appreciated, for all you experienced java folks. Also, if you know of any resources or sample codes on the web pertaining to this topic, please tell me. Thank you.

That isn't actually a "topic", but a whole collection of topics. There are too many open questions there to be able to say anything useful.

  • " An error occurred while creating the backup directory"

    Hi all,
    I recently bought an external drive because my mac was just about full.
    It's made by Lacie, model # P'9231... (1TB)
    I got it working, for moving and accessing files (I moved the iPhoto library-and that works fine)...  but...
    I told Time Machine to use it as the backup disk, but TM often tells be that the backup failed. I get this message;
    "Backup failed.  An error occurred while creating the backup directory"
    I don't understand this.  I did some experiments with Time Machine, and I've been able to restore some things, but I still keep getting this message.
    I don't know what is getting backed up and what is not..
    Did I do something wrong? Or, more importantly, what is the fix?
    Any advice is much appreciated.  Thanks in advance,
    Jim

    I'm having the same problem.  I just got the drive Saturday at the local Apple store.
    Have you figured it out?

  • How to Create a Temporary Directory?

    Hi,
    I'd like to create a directory with all of the
    nice properties that File.createTempFile gives
    you. However, it looks as though the only way to
    do this is to:
    File tfile = File.createTempFile("blah","", parent);
    tfile.delete();
    workingCopyDir = new File(tfile.getCanonicalPath());
    workingCopyDir.mkdir();
    What I'd like is either:
    File wcd = File.createTempFile("blah","",parent,true)
    where the 4th arg is a boolean "make a directory?"
    kind of arg...
    OR
    File tfile = new File(parent,File.createTempFileName())
    where createTempFileName returns a String.
    OR
    something else that is an equally good solution.
    Now, I've somewhat searched the archive on this but
    got slogged by the large number of hits. I've browsed
    the API and didn't see anything else that would work.
    Suggestions are welcome. Advice on a better place
    to send this suggestion would also be great...
    -Jen

    File tfile = File.createTempFile("blah","", parent);
    tfile.delete();
    workingCopyDir = new File(tfile.getCanonicalPath());
    workingCopyDir.mkdir();While it isn't as good a solution as File.createTempDirectory(), there are some steps in your code that you don't need to follow. You would be able to do the following:
    File tempDirectory = File.createTempFile("blah","blah", parent);
    tempDirectory.delete();
    tempDirectory.mkdir();
    After calling tempDirectory.delete(), tempDirectory still points to the name of the temp file, which can then be used directly to create the temp directory.
    This assumes nobody creates a temp file with the same name as the original temp file between "delete()" and "mkdir()". The likelihood of this happening is not high, but it is possible.

  • Unable To Create New Open Directory Master

    I have a brand new installation of MacOS X Mountain Lion Server, latest version, in a brand new Mac Mini. This Mac Mini is being co-located in a data centre, and I am setting it up via remote access (screen sharing). The data centre has setup DNS zone records for my domain, including a reverse DNS PTR record, and everything in the DNS is working fine.
    During the installation of Server, when the installer asked for the type of 'Host Name', I selected 'Host name for Internet'. The installer was able to use the IP address of the Mac Mini to automatically find the correct host name, and configure it. Once the installation was complete, no services were turned on - not even DNS, as the installer probably figured out that DNS services were being handled externally.
    The first thing I went to try and do was to turn on Open Directory. I turn the service on, and a sheet comes down, where I select to "Create a new Open Directory Domain". I click 'next', and on the next sheet I enter the OD Administrator's details, and password. Click 'next' again, and then I get the following message:
    "This computer's host name is invalid.
    The host name does not resolve to any configured address of this computer. Please ensure the host name is correct."
    Opening Terminal app, and typing "hostname", I get the correct hostname, as showing in Server app itself.
    Entering "sudo changeip -checkhostname" in Terminal app, I get all correct details for the IP address and host name of the machine, and the message: "The names match. There is nothing to change. dirserv:success = 'success'"
    I finally tried getting Server app to change the host name itself - going into the Server pane, select the 'Network' tab, and in the 'Names' section, next to the host name, click on the "Edit..." button. Again, went through the wizard, and the wizard again was able to find the hostname automatically from the machine's IP address. Once the 'changing' process was completed, I went to try and initialise Open Directory, and again, got the same message.
    Can anyone shed any light? Any suggestion would be welcome at this stage...

    MrHoffman, thank you for your guidance. You have, however, given me a bit of a headache.
    MrHoffman wrote:
    127.0.0.1 is likely going to be incorrect here.  Please reference the DC DNS servers, and not a local server.  If you're in a DC and particularly with a public-facing host without an outboard firewall to block DNS traffic, you likely do not want to be running your own local DNS services.
    As described previously, the server was referencing the DC DNS servers. The server was not running its own DNS service. Open Directory was not able to detect that the ip address and the hostname were correct with this setup - even though the command line on the server as well as externally showed that all DNS records were setup correctly, and that the IP address and hostname matched. The server's own installation wizard and 'Change Host Name' wizard automatically detected the hostname from the machine's ip address - by consulting the reverse DNS PTR record in the DC DNS servers.
    Starting the server's own DNS server - and adding '127.0.0.1' to the top of the DNS list in Preferences - allowed me to create the Open Directory master, finally. Of course, the internal DNS server was setup so that only the server itself could access it - it was closed to any other machines - and even then, I had it running only momentarily: once Open Directory created its master domain, I switched DNS service off, and removed '127.0.0.1' from the DNS list in Prefences.
    With that setup, everything seemed to work fine. All users were able to login, access their share points and their mail.
    MrHoffman wrote:
    For the host name, the host name would usually be the FQDN fully-qualified domain name, and "example.com" isn't usually a host name.  You'd usually find somehostname.example.com here
    That is the only machine in the domain. All public sub-domains - like 'mail', 'www' or 'calendar' - point to the same machine. The reverse DNS PTR record points to the higher-level domain "example.com".
    Your warning, however, made me worried:
    MrHoffman wrote:
    I'd probably rebuild the OD configuration, as I'd wonder of OD now had a bogus host name.  Once bad DNS gets involved, the entanglements can be quite pernicious..
    So I decided to heed your advice, and rebuild OD. I deleted the Open Directory master, and tried rebuilding it with DNS service turned off. As before, OD insists that "the host name does not resolve to any configured address of this computer", and refuses to create the new Master. I ended up following the procedure above again - switching DNS service on temporarily to get OD to work.
    The problem is, that now no user can connect to the server anymore. Everyone keeps getting a message stating that their password is wrong - including users on their iPhones and iPads.
    I suspect that when I created the new OD Master, it created a new certificate, and that is what is causing problems. While I could try to get the desktop users to delete the old certificates from their keychain, this is not really an option for iPhone/iPad users.
    Where do I go from here? After almost 24 hours straight dealing with this, I'm at the end of my rope...

  • Is there a way to create a new directory or file in application install directory programatically

    Hi to all,
    Is there a way to create a new directory or file in
    application install directory programatically.
    I want a xml file to be created with in the application
    install directory programatically(not the application storage
    directory)
    I have used the following code snippet:
    var file:File = new File();
    file = File.applicationDirectory;
    file = file.resolvePath("assets");
    if(!file.exists)
    file.createDirectory()
    I am thrown an exception when using this .....Security
    Exception

    Thanks, but my main problem is to delete the locally stored
    data that is stored in the application storage directory when the
    application is uninstalled.
    The data is not being deleted automatically when the
    application is uninstalled, thats why I want to write some file to
    application directory.
    My application is remembering the login username and password
    even I uninstall the application and reinstall the next
    time.

  • Error while creating the backup directory

    I bought a Time Capsule yesterday. As with all of Apple's networking products, it set up like a breeze. Took about 10 minutes. I have two MacBooks running on the network now. I set Time Machine to start working on both of them (one of them has used TM before with an attached external hard drive). The machine that never used TM before is backing up nicely to the TC. On my machine, however, I keep getting this error: Time Machine Error. Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup directory."
    Have any of you run into this before and, if so, how do I get around it?
    Both MacBooks are 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 GB RAM and running 10.5.2
    Thanks,
    Martin

    Maybe I have the answer for you, TommorowNeverKnows. Somewhere on the forum in the many emails about this subject, someone proposed a solution and yesterday it worked for me. (I'm sorry that I can't find it right now, but I do remember it).
    He (or she) proposed first using Onyx to see whether that solved the problem. If not, then download the combo updater for 10.5.2 and try that. He was unable to run it, however; and I couldn't run it either -- a message about it's not being able to run on "this machine." That might be because the machine was already running 10.5.2.
    In that case, he proposed doing an archive and install from the original system disc (being sure, of course, to save your settings). Well, I dreaded doing that, just because of the time it took, but by yesterday evening I was so frustrated that I bit the bullet. So I archived and installed and was back to 10.5. Then I ran the combo updater and it worked. Then I did a Software Update, and there was loads of stuff to be updated. After all that, I turned on Time Machine and went to bed.
    When I woke this morning, the machine was fully backed up to the Time Capsule with no errors (about 92+ gig). And when I looked at my Time Machine files, everything was just fine.
    So, if you haven't tried this yet, I would say that it's definitely worth an attempt.
    Hope this helps,
    Martin

  • Trouble Creating a New Directory to Import into

    I just upgraded to Lightroom 5 today and installed the update to 5.2 on Windows 7 64 bit.  I have run into a problem I never had before.  In the import module I want to create a new directory to import into.  I go through the same steps I did in Lightroom 4, but when I am done, the directory does not show up on the list.  I can find it in Windows Explorer, but not Lightroom.  If I leave the import module and then return, the directory shows up in the Lightroom list of directories.  I have tried this twice with the same result both times.  Has anyone else seen this?  Is there a Fix?

    Thanks that works.  I found that even though the new directory did not show in the Import list of directories when I created it usind the right-click method as I did in LR4,  LR5 is in fact creating it and will import to it.  Another odd thing is when I create the directory using the right-click, Windows Explorer method, the directory list in the Import module flickers like it is adding the new directory.  However, the new directory cannot be seen.

  • Message driven bean: resource not created

    Hi,
    I'm having trouble deploying a simple test app that I've created (in App Server Platform Edition 8.0). It contains a servlet, that posts messages to a queue, and which appears to work fine. There is also a message-driven bean that receives these messages, but it will not deploy as is. I would be grateful for any assistance in working out why. Apologies if I'm missing something obvious, but the technology is quite new to me.
    I get the following error in the server log -

    Hi, Joe,
    The message says that
    JMS resource not created : joeMDB
    The command to add the missing Queue:
    asadmin create-jms-resource user admin restype javax.jms.Queue JoeDestQueue
    Please note:
    in your sun-ejb-jar.xml, the real JNDI name for the Queue is JoeDestQueue.
    Double check the namings for the Queue in both ejb-jar.xml and sun-ejb-jar.xml.
    You only need two names for one Queue: one is for JNDI, one is for reference.

  • Hudson - Unable to create the home directory

    Hello, I installed tomcat and downloaded hudson.war and put it into
    /opt/tomcat/webapps/hudson.war
    I'm able to navigate to localhost:8080/hudson, but I only see this message:
    Unable to create the home directory {0}. This is most likely a permission problem.
    To change the home directory, use HUDSON_HOME environment variable or set the HUDSON_HOME system property. See Container-specific documentation for more details of how to do this.
    I've set HUDSON_HOME in a gazillion places -- yet none of them has done any good.
    Can anyone point me to a solution?
    Thanks,
    --Nate

    That indicates that Time Machine is having trouble writing to that sparse bundle.

  • TM Error - An error occurred while creating the backup directory.

    mmm
    Got the TC last Wednesday. Connected 1 brand new iMac and a one year old mini, both on 10.5.2 with Airport Utility updates.
    The mini just started getting errors (Sunday lunch)
    TM Error
    Unable to complete computer backup. An error occurred while creating the backup directory.
    Forcing a Backup Now gets the same error.
    Mini is connected wirelessly direct to the TC and can browse the TC and read/write files ok.
    I can see no reason how why this error is occurring.
    TM opens and you can browse the backups fine.
    Anyone know how to get TM to be able to create directories again?
    Thanks

    exactly what I am seeing as well. I had one complete backup before I started seeing the exact error you are getting. I have tried everything I can think of from watching here and spending as much time on hold as I can afford. Hold times to talk with someone who actually might be able to help,that means not the first tech you will speak with but who they transfer you to may understand the TC/TM errors and fixes that work. That means 1 hour plus on hold,almost an hour before the first tech will finally give up and transfer you deeper and 30 minutes to 45 on hold there. Add another hour for them to get caught up with your case. These times are kinda like TC/TM themselves,very slow. I am connected via ethernet and shut down everything when trying to get this to work thus I have lost over 100 hours work time because of trying to get this to work without any interruption. It is such a generic error message it so totally reminds me of windoze daze. All I can do at this point is follow the leader on on the Apple death and dying forums. I am toast on trying and have seen that exact error screen more times than I am willing to admit. I am gonna get something that works as soon as I recover from spending 299 on a new wireless router! Please any of you seeing this error and somehow overcome it please post back and gives us losers something to chew on?

  • Unable to create the Backup Directory???

    Good day and thanks for looking.
    My son's MacBook backs up great, so does my MacPro Tower, but my MacBook Pro cannot. I Keep getting the Error message:
    "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup Directory"
    I've searched here to no avail.
    Thanks for any help.
    Tom

    That indicates that Time Machine is having trouble writing to that sparse bundle.

  • During Import, LR creates new, duplicate directory with lowercase name. How do I make it stop?

    Let's say my folder structure is:
    >Personal Photos
    >>2014
    >>>140406 NYC Visit
    >>>140507 San Francisco Vacation
    etc.
    I then go to Import new photos from camera. I specify that the photos should go in the folder '2014,' click Into Subfolder, and enter a name for the new folder in the box -- let's say 140525 Yankees Game. This used to work just fine, but lately what's been happening is that LR creates a separate directory in lowercase below the existing directories:
    >personal photos
    >>2014
    >>>140525 Yankees Game
    If I look in Finder, the new folder is exactly where it should be. The only problem is the way that the new folder is shown in LR. If I try to move the new folder into the 2014 directory, I get a message saying that it's already there.
    I wind up creating a dummy folder in the desired directory, moving the files from the bogus folder into the new folder, then deleting the bogus folder. It's a pain in the neck.
    Can anyone help me with this?

    Please don't crosspost. It cuts down on the effectiveness of responses, leads to people wasting their time answering what others have already answered, makes for difficult discussion, and is generally just annoying and bad form.

  • Creating an inventory directory

    This thread is a follow on from the issue that I am having with The 11.2.0.3 installer hanging
    Installer hanging on selecting Desktop Class
    I had a look at the Installactions*.log file and installation appears to be hanging at the point of creating the inventory directory. I can confirm that the user I am logged in as on the Windows 7 machine is an administrative user so can add folders and install applications.
    Has anyone come accros an issue with OUI hanging as a result of not been able to create folders or does anyone have an idea for a workaround?
