Air Application Login - the best way

Hi,
I have small ideological problem :) I have login form in my
application. So, each user has his own login and password. As
serverside is used LCDS with secured destinations.
And here are two possible approaches:
1) I use server side auth. mechanism (Tomcat realm) to check
users credentials. I have custom auth. class, which check user
credentials. This works, but, i have some problems in logout
operation.
2) Second way is this. I have only one user (which is
hardcoded in app). This user is authenticated to server at the
start (setCredentials() ). I need this, because all destinations
are secured. And real user is verified against the services that
will bring the information that user is verified.
So, i don't know which approach is better. Now, using the
first.
What do You think about this ? Which way is the best ?

  • I want to sell my old macbook air, what is the best way to get my files and programs off of it?

    I am going to sell my macbook air (2011) as I am replacing it with a macbook pro retina. I want to remove my files and programs from it before I sell it. What is the best way to go about this?

    1) Perform a Time Machine or Cloned image backup of your system.
    2) Test the Clone tomake sure it works, by booting to it (using the option key).
    3) Boot to the Recovery Partition, then perform an erasure, followed by a reinstallation of the OS.
    4) Shut off the Mac, after instllation and before the reboot. This will permit the next user to experience a "fresh out of the box" experience.
    5) Use the Time Machine or Cloned image to migrate your apps, users & files to your new system, using SETUP ASSISTANT. Do not use Migration Assistant.

  • What's the best way for a web app to handle logins and sessions?

    I'm deploying in JBoss, using JSF. As is often the case, I keep User information in an entity bean. My question is, what's the best way to handle this bean?
    My inclination is to create a login page with a LoginBackingBean atached to it. When the user attempts to log in, it will see if there is a User entity bean that corresponds to the given name and password. If there is no User bean that matches, obviously we show an informative error screen.
    But what happens if there is a valid user?
    In the plain old Servlet world (without EJB / J2EE) I would just put the User object (it's an object, not an EJB) into the HttpSession, and I would create a Filter that would check for the presence of that User object, and I would map the filter to something like /members/*, and that would be it. I would use Hibernate to persist the User object, and there would also be a filter that creates a Hibernate session and stores it in the Request so that the User object would work and persist.
    How do I do this within the J2EE / EJB world?
    My first thought would be to just do the same thing. Install the User bean into the HttpSession, and create a filter and do all the same stuff. Is that the right way to do it? It would work pretty well with JSF because I could just access things in the normal JSF way: #{user.firstName} would find the "user" object in the HttpSession scope. So that's good.
    One question that comes up from that is if the user makes some change to the User object that is in the Session scope, will the EJB automatically do the right thing and make those changes persistent? Is there anything else I need to do?
    I'm new to the EJB world, but from what I can see so far, it seems like it's the best way to think about a web application.
    Thanks

    hi ,
    i think the best way is to create java beans ,in that bean call your EJB ,
    and check the validation over there.
    and make that bean scope to session.
    in each and everypage try to check the session ,if it is not valid then forward to your login page...
    otherwise continue to give access to him like guest

  • Whats the best way to transfer all my pic and vid files from Mac Air to back up drive to free up space on hard disk?

    whats the best way to transfer all my pic and vid files from Mac Air to back up drive to free up space on hard disk?

    Get a third drive if needed, open the Time Machine pane of System Preferences, set it not to exclude that drive, and drag the files to it. If you're moving an iTunes or iPhoto library, launch the application with the Option key held down and choose the moved library.

  • What is the best way to remove applications?

    I would like to remove unused applications (iChat, Dashboard, iCalendar and so on...)
    I am running audio software and using CPU quite heavily.
    What wold be the best way to remove these types of applications completely and have as minimal running in the background possible??? (I have already turned off Bluetooth, Airport etc...)
    Should I install removal software or just send them all to the Trash bin?

    None of those applications are running unless you launch them. Dashboard widgets only use CPU time and RAM if they are running. If you quit all widgets in the Dashboard then there's no memory footprint or use of the CPU.
    If you don't want anything but essentials running then don't launch any applications and remove any Login Items from Accounts preferences.
    Just because an application is installed on the computer does not mean it is running unless you launch it or configure it to launch automatically. So there is no need to remove any of these applications or utilities.
    You will find some good books on Macs and computers in general at your local bookstore. Your question suggests that you could benefit by reading a few.
    As for how to uninstall applications that you have installed see the following:
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
    AppZapper
    CleanApp
    Yank
    SuperPop
    Uninstaller
    Spring Cleaning
    Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • What is the best way to deploy application that uses web services?

    Hi all,
    I'm having some problems figuring out the best way to deploy our app now that we've switched over to using web services.
    I'm fairly new to Java and web services. From what I understand, JNLP and WebStart are methods to deploy Java clients to users and not for creating war files and the like.
    Here's a little background:
    We have a large PowerBuilder/Oracle application. The db consists of over 500 tables and the client consists of several thousand PB components. A user creates "transactions" which contain a series of "sub-transactions" within. Most of the data is collected and stored locally in the client in a series of datastores. When the "finalize" happens, the records are validated and sent to the database.
    We are in the process of moving each of the subtransactions (currently in the PB client) into subPROCESSES on a java project. We are using the JAX-WS framework to develop the web services in Netbeans. These web services aren't much more than remote xml as the messaging technology. For writing data back to the database, we are using the Java Persistence API to function outside of an EJB container but will shortly be migrating to the Glassfish application server to use several of the EJB container frameworks including the EntityManager.
    We haven't attempted any type of deployment and are unsure of where to start. Any suggestions would be so helpful and appreciated!
    Thanks!

It is for launching rich client GUI based (AWT, Swing, SWT..) applications onto the end-user's desktop.
    There are some parts of JWS that might seem peripherally useful to the installation of a web-app., but it is really not a 'good fit'.

  • What's the best way to erase content but not the applications?

    I'm giving away my iMac to my niece. I want to erase all my  content files, libraries ,etc., but not the applications. What's the best way to do this, and to do it securely?

    If you have Downloaded and Upgraded to Lion See...
    Here is an excerpt of the SLA; the Lion license (purchased from MAS) is NOT transferable. The SLA is quite clear:
    B. If you obtained your license to the Apple Software from the Mac App Store or on Apple-branded physical media, it is not transferable. If you sell your Apple-branded hardware to athird party, you must remove the Apple Software from the Apple-branded hardware beforedoing so, and you may restore your system to the version of the Apple operating systemsoftware that originally came with your Apple hardware (the “Original Apple OS”) andpermanently transfer the Original Apple OS together with your Apple hardware, provided that:(i) the transfer must include all of the Original Apple OS, including all its component parts,printed materials and its license; (ii) you do not retain any copies of the Original Apple OS, fullor partial, including copies stored on a computer or other storage device; and (iii) the partyreceiving the Original Apple OS reads and agrees to accept the terms and conditions of theOriginal Apple OS license.
    Now Proceed...
    Boot from the original OS installer disk and do an Erase & Install.
    When the Mac reboots into Mac Setup Assistant Quit and shut it down.
    When the New Owner Boots it up it's a brand new Mac... just like when you got it.
    ( The Original Install Disc(s) should also be included with the sale )

    Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

  • What is the best way to transfer my music library from my windows pc to my new macbook air?

    what is the best way to transfer my large iTunes library from my windows pc to my new macbook air?  Not all purchased, many from CDs I owned

    Moving a library: Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its sub-folders and files) intact to the other drive.  Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes.  At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.
    If this is to a new computer and you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

    Does rule engine good for validating a large no of data volume ? (asserted as an objects)

    I don't see a big switch construct. How about trying the following:

  • Hi I would like to show a presentation written on my macbook air on my television what is the best way to connect the two ?

    Hi I would like to show a presentation written on my macbook air on my television what is the best way to connect the two ?

    Much depends on the available connectivity  of your television.
    If it has HDMI input available, all you will need is a minidisplayport to HDMI adapter, and an HDMI cable long enough to place the Mac in the desired proximity to the TV. The adapter is avaialble from the Apple Store online.
    Provided the HDMI input on the television supports sound, and the model of your MBA supports it as well, make suree that your adapter is also supportive of sound, otherwise you will need to run separate cabling from the headphone jack of the MBA to TV sound input or external speakers.
    This is a somewhat specific answer to a question without any requisite detail. You don't indicate the model or type of inputs on your TV, nor do you indicate the model/generation of MBA you have.

    Tech,
    You don't provide enough information onto which anyone could reasonably formulate an answer.
    As mentioned, you don't indicate the circumstances that would warrant consideration of multiple partitions. Moreover, you also don't indoicate the size of the SSD in question.
    Like Fred said, ordinarily you leave it alone as one. Some people like to keep data and the OS/apps separate, but it is for specific reasons.
