Another Validation Question

While validation seems to be much covered in this forum, I can't seem to find the solution for my problem which is as follows:
To start off, I'm using custom validation for form fields in the backing bean and the messageList (in table mode) rather than individual inline messages.
Here is my problem: validation appears to be performed on a form field only when the required property is set to true. However, when the required property is set to true JSF insists on performing an initial validation to ensure that the form field is not null. If the data passes the initial validation it is passed on to the backing bean validator which can perform additional validation, add messages etc. as needed.
So here is the issues: how can I enable validation (i.e.. inform JSF that a field is required) but disable the initial validation (and associated error message "Validation Error: A Value is required" which is meaningless when put in the messageList and not in proximity to a field) so I can perform my own null and 0-length tests?
Other forum discussions focus on customizing the field level inline message through message bundles but this seems neither possible or practical for message summaries.
Any help appreciated as I appear to be stuck...

Hi,
This issue had been reported earlier too by another customer. The URL to the forum thread is:
http://swforum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=50206
Below is the response that was given by our senior engineer
"JSF validators are *not* invoked on empty fields. The general reasoning is that, if there is no input data, then there is nothing to validate. Therefore, the components are working as they should for this use case."
Hope this helps
Cheers

Another newb question: multiple virtual servers

Hi, I have yet another ignorant question. I have several unrelated web projects that I am working on, and I would like to be able to set up a virtual server for each one for testing purposes, such as: http://project1, http://project2, http://project3. Can someone tell me if this is doable, and if there are any tutorials/resources on this for someone who has 0 experience running a web serer? Sorry for being so ignorant!

Yes, it is doable.
You can setup virtual server either by IP or by name.
If you have one IP, and want to set them up by name (ex. http://project1, http://project2, http://project3) you can do so easily with this type of configuration:
<virtual-server>
    <name>mydomain</name>
    <http-listener-name>http-listener-1</http-listener-name>
    <host>*.mydomain.com</host>
    <document-root>/www/domain</document-root>
</virtual-server>
<virtual-server>
    <name>myotherdomain</name>
    <http-listener-name>http-listener-1</http-listener-name>
    <host>*.myotherdomain.com</host>
    <document-root>/www/myotherdomain</document-root>
</virtual-server>
....The important part here is that
a) all virtual servers share the same HTTP listener
b) which virtual server serves the request depends on the $HOST request header send by the client. Sun Web Server does the matching for you. It will match $HOST vs. the virtual server's host attribute. Depending on which site you connect to the right virtual server will be used.
c) if the $HOST request header does not match any of the virtual servers, then the default virtual server defined in the HTTP listener will be used.
To create a virtual server, use the Admin GUI, access the configuration, and then add new virtual server. Or use the following CLI command.
wadm> create-virtual-server --config=myconfig --http-listener-name=http-listener-1 --document-root=/www/docs/myserver.com --host-pattern=myserver.com --log-file=../logs/myserver.com-error_logs myserverHost pattern will be used for matching. Some of this elements might be optional.
Hope that helps. And keep the questions coming :D

Another simple questions

Hello friends:
Another simple question: I need to learn things about Oracle on my desktop.
My machine runs Windows 98. Oracle has some desktop product of its Database Line?
For example: Oracle Personal?
And Oracle Lite? What's the main difference between Oracle Personal and
Oracle Lite?
Thank You

Data Template construction AND data template validation questions:

Hello World.
I am new to Oracle BI and I have sucessfully used the BI Java APIs to create from start to finish a pdf report process. I use the DataProcessor, RTFProcessor, and FOProcessor classes to do this. My question is other than the most simple of Data Templates being used, how is everyone building their data templates? And I would also like to know how are developers validating the actual data template file? I have submitted a request through my MetaLink account for obtaining either a "dtd" or "xsd" file that could be used to validate a constructed data template. I have not received any real answers. I plan on using either XMLSpy or MyEclispse 6 to create my data templates, but I need a "rule book" dtd or xsd file in order to use the auto prompting feature. Making a data template "in the dark" cannot be the method of choice for all of the developers that visit this forum. I see some really fancy/detailed reports and I would like to see how people are building there data templates. Building the data template is at least half the battle when constructing a BI report.
Thanks for your time.

Notepad is the developer's choice for data definitions, seriously.
I have seen and used XMLSpy and have Stylus Studio but they are really a bit of overkill for the data templates. I use Stylus Studio for some of our XML-FO format templates, but that is another story.

Validator Question

Hi i am creating an application where a user simply enters their details such as name, email etc which should be then validated using the validator. If the details are correct it should redirect the user to my Acknowledge page, however if not it will put the user back to the original part displaying error messages to re-enter their details. Now as it stands i already have the a form for the user to enter their details, enterStudentDetails.jsp, and i am trying to test that their email is not left blank but when i do leave it blank, and hit the submit button, it goes into my Acknowledge.jsp page. That is the issue i have at the moment, and i am trying use the validator to check the input on the server side to display the error message.
enterStudentDetails.jsp
<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-bean" prefix="bean" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-html" prefix="html" %>
<%@page contentType="text/html"%>
<%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%--
The taglib directive below imports the JSTL library. If you uncomment it,
you must also add the JSTL library to the project. The Add Library... action
on Libraries node in Projects view can be used to add the JSTL 1.1 library.

</form-validation>Now, i have read a few articles on the subject but i am slighly confused in that in terms of creating a bean does it necessarily nead to be a dynamic bean? or can i still keep the one that i have right now for me to use validator. Can somebody provide some insight on what i would need to do because i am slighly confused.
Thanks.

oh, i didn't realize i could do that. I acutally already
found a way to do it, if a whole bunch of if statments :) mhehe,
but it works. i'lll try to do it your way :)
another question. It seems that in my functions if i
reference a field which is located on a different tab, it does not
recoglize it, and i get a runtime error, unless i click on that
tab, before clicking on the "validate" button.
does anyone know why it's not recognizing it? do i need to
somehow declare that field in my init()?
Thanks!

</form-validation>i have also the validation-rules.xml file provided by the struts lib.
i would like to force the content of 'username' property to be alphabetic.
i guess i have to create my own element
<validator name="alphabeticString"...> inside the validation-rules.xml file, but i am newbie in javascript programming.
i have tree question.
1) why the validation code inside the validator element is written in javascript since it's not going to be executed at client side???
2)can i use java instead ? (to code teh validation ...)
3)has anyone got a code to solve this problem ?
thanks for your help

i would like to force the content of 'username' property to be alphabetic.
i guess i have to create my own element
<validator name="alphabeticString"...> inside the validation-rules.xml file,
but i am newbie in javascript programming.Not for something that simple... there's a validator rule called mask, which takes a regular expression as an argument, so if you want only a-z: "[a-zA-Z]*" should work.
1) why the validation code inside the validator element is written in javascript since it's not going to be executed at client side???It is validated on the client, or can be. You have to include the javascript with the html:javascript tag library tag and specify the form name. Then you need to put the onsubmit="return validateFormName();" attribute in the form tag. If JS isn't supported, it'll still default back to the server side validation.
2)can i use java instead ? (to code teh validation ...)Don't include the JS stuff.

Another BW question about filter in the query definition

Hi ,
I have another question about filter in the query definition.
<u>Question:</u>
Which of the following objects can be filtered in the query definition?
A. characteristic
B. Key figure
C. Structure
D. Units
E. Hierarchy
My answer is A,B,D,E.
The answer in the book is A,B,D
Can anybody tell me which one is wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Liu Jia

HI
1.The answer could be A,B,D.you can not apply filters on hierarchies
2.Whenever there is a change in Attribute data(like Location,Num etc...)that has to be reflected in all aggregates of the cube.Thsi can be done by running "ATTRIBUTE CHANGE RUN".

Yet another standby question...

Hi gurus,
Please help to resolve the quiz. I have completed manual physical standby installation. It is up and running. I then decided to install Grid Control and to use Data Guard for the standby creation. I've successfully installed GC, deployed all agents, I can see my previous standbys, life is good in short. Now, when I am trying to create the second standby for my production database using the Data Guard I stuck on a logical question:
On the step 3 of Data Guard standby creation, there is a note, saying:
The instance name (also referred to as the SID) must be unique on the standby host.
Yeah, fair enough. But i can't understand what should I do next? I have:
db_name YELLOW - primary prod
db_name YELLOW - standby prod 1st
and i need db_name YELLOW - standby 2nd
But I can't create it on the same server where the first standby resides.. What options do I have? Do I need to create the second standby on another server? Do I need to kill 1st standby? Is there any way to avoid this conflict? I am confused. I have no equipment for TWO standby servers... I thought I can install there up to 9 standbys.. But it seems to be a problem.. And definitely, I cannot give my second standby other name than YELLOW as all my applications are strongly tied on db_name...
Friends, please clarify this if you can. I am kinda lost in here..
Thanks as usual,
Maria

well, that's a good question! :)
because I don't have spare server for the standby. the question is not about: 'should I or should not put more than one standbys in one server' , but more about: 'is there any way to put two standbys with the identical db_names in one server'. I know that I probably sound unprofessional, but I just wanna know.. If the answer is 'no way', I will kill the first standby then and recreate the second one using DG with the correct name.
Thanks for writing to me,
M.

Newbie validation question!

Hey,
i 've just made the "BC4J Hotel Reservation System" sample from the oracle
site. : http://otn.oracle.com/products/bc4j/index2.htm?Code&listing.htm
Everythin compiled ok, and i used the provided validation code. Now when i
run the application-module tester (Jdeveloper)...i get the validation error
just when i dubbelclick one of the viewobjects, even before inserting any
data....Is the validation not supposed to be active only when entering new data?
give me a clue plz.
null

Please provide the validation error that is being caught. If you have required fields and are navigating to another row, you would get validation errors.

Table validation question

Hi
I have created 2 tables zposition, zwork.
The fields in zposition is department and position.
The fields in zwork is empid, department, position, firstname and lastname.
I wanted to create a validation that when i insert the data into the zwork, the system will automatically check against the zposition tables for the department and position that was store inside it. How do i do it?

in ur zwork table where u find the fields department and position..
in the table fields of zwork just put the cursor on this field say department and click the key button(on the top) it will propose for a check table and in there give the zposition table relavant field department.
the answer is there in ur question itself ...
// check against the zposition tables for the department and position--> u need to propose the check table on that field .
so all in ur are validating the zwork department entry with zposition department field..

Re: another build question! (sorry lol)

Hi all
right, after days and days of researching all the excellent articles on here ive had to write a post! So apologies for going over old ground
Im going to build a new CS5.5 rig (having had a guts full of Apple and their FCPX fiasco its back to pc!)
so although i appreciate the 990x o'c is prob best option, bang for buck is leading me down the sandybridge i7 2600k o'c option on p67 mobo with 16gb of ram (option to take to 32 down the line when the chips are out)
anyway, im sorted on chip mobo (msi big bang marshal p67), nivida 570 etc , its the drives im struggling on!! Im edit avchd video and some after effects, small amount of 3d, and in FCP i always transcoded everything to prores. Now on cs5.5 it looks like real time performance is possible with high end hardwear.
So mobo, ram, and chip aside, my HDD config im unsure on, ive not really got the cash to go crazy with raid controllors etc, but understand need for seperate drives, etc and tbh might even go downt he cineform route as a prores alternative (prob avoiding hassles of drive speed with avchd)
im thinking as the SSD's are now dropping in price and the ocz are producing these 500 mb r/w speed sata 6 120gb drives for a reasonable price, would 3 of these drives (one for os, one for media , one for scracth disk ) be a good set up or is it a waste of cash and should i raid 0 from bios/mobo?
I appreicate that 120 gb drives for media etc are small, but i would take project media from another much large backup drive and just use the 3x ssd set up as working disks for editing & os? once project over, clear out drives to larger back up and start new project!
Its either that or i go SSD as bootdrive, but some sort of cheap raid set up for my scratch disk, media drives? prob is if i do that, from what ive read (brain dead now) i would be best off with 2 x raid 0 as scratch disk and orginal media respectively when workign with avchd
HOWEVER, on my mobo there are only 4 sata 6 ports, so if i use one for ssd boot drive, and then im left with 3 x sata 6 ports and another 4 x sata 3 ports to raid on? how does this work? any point in getting the sata 6 drives as one would be stripped with a sata 6 drive plugged into a sata 3 port (this was my reasoning behind using 3 small sata 6 ssd's plugged to the sata 6 ports and rest of sata 3 ports as storage and backups!
confused lol!! I just want the overclocked sandybridge system with decent gpu card, as much ram as possible at present, but im thinking my bottleneck will be in the HDD config! any suggestions are much appreicated! im not that techy so whilst have read all the articles am more confused now (plus normally a mac user, so its out of the box configuration usually!) for what its worth looking to purchase something from scan uk in terms of parts! total build cost including a reasonable screen £2,000
many thanks

You have a limited budget, especially in the UK, but then don't we all?
Going for the 980X will triple the cost of the CPU, but even when editing AVCHD material the gains are not sizable enough IMO to justify that cost differential. Add to that you will need 24 GB instead of 16 GB and that carries an additional price tag. Both factors will easily move you out of budget range if you want to have a number of disks and possibly a raid controller.
Did you read my article To Raid or not to Raid, that is the question. It can be found under the Overview tab at the top of the page? (Currently responding from abroad on my notebook and not having the bookmarks available for easy linking). http://forums.adobe.com/thread/525263
With media and projects I would advise against a raid0, because of the lack of redundancy. For pagefile, media cache and previews (scratch disks) raid0 is quite OK. They will be recreated if needed. The performance gain from a raid0 for media and projects over a parity raid is easily offset by the time spent on making backups. For parity raids do not use WD Caviar Blacks, but look at the Hitachi 7K3000 line of disks.
The question of Sandy Bridge versus the old X58 platform is essentially one of 'which limitations are acceptable to me'.
The Sandy Bridge is a great processor and at least the equal to the old i7-9xx quad cores. However, the platform, the chipset, has its shortcomings in terms of PCIe lanes. Whether that is relevant to you, only you can decide. But hey, we would be in serious trouble if Intel did not manage some progress in two years time from the i7-920 to the i7-2600K. So of course the i7-2600K shows much more potential than the almost retired 920, it is the chipset for the Sandy Bridge that is 'flawed' in comparison to the X58, but that is no surprise, since the Sandy Bridge is a 'middle-of-the-road' platform and the X58 was a 'high performance' platform.
BFTB-wise I think that within your budget limits, you should look at the i7-2600K, but with the best disk setup you can afford.

Another Noobie question - readLine()

Hi all
This is another one of the extreme noob questions. I wrote a small program to read form a text file
    String NetworkLine = new String();
    try{
        FileReader inputFile = new FileReader("Test.txt"); //
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(inputFile);
       try{
           while (in.readLine() != null){
            NetworkLine = in.readLine();
            System.out.println(NetworkLine);
       }catch (IOException e){
            System.err.println("Error in reading the file");
    }catch (FileNotFoundException e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }My Test.txt is
One
Two
Three
Four
Five
Six
without the *
The output I get is
Two
Four
Six
I cannot figure out why only even no. lines are being read. I inserted a breakpoint at the line
          System.out.println(NetworkLine);This shows me that only even no. lines are being read by readLine(). Any help will be appreaciated.
Thanks
Ayesha

    String NetworkLine = new String();
    try{
        FileReader inputFile = new FileReader("Test.txt"); //
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(inputFile);
       try{
           while (in.readLine() != null){ // <-- This reads a line, checks it for null ,and drops it
            NetworkLine = in.readLine(); // <-- this reads the next line
            System.out.println(NetworkLine);
       }catch (IOException e){
            System.err.println("Error in reading the file");
    }catch (FileNotFoundException e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }So the upshot is that you print every other line.
Corrected:
    String networkLine = new String();
    try{
        FileReader inputFile = new FileReader("Test.txt"); //
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(inputFile);
       try{
           while ((networkLine = in.readLine()) != null){
            System.out.println(networkLine);
       }catch (IOException e){
            System.err.println("Error in reading the file");
    }catch (FileNotFoundException e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

Another beginner question about targeting functions

I've read what I thought was an excellent thread about scope in EA, but I'm still not getting some of the basics (btw the thread was http://forums.adobe.com/message/5287753#5287753).
I have "slides" in the symbol library and in the main composition compositionReady script I've set up a generic script for playing back sound. That script works fine when I bind it within the compositionReady script to a symbol and click, so I know the funciton itself is fine. My question, I'm programmatically loading the slides from the library as I go along and want to use the generic function I created in the compositionReady script, but I can't seem to create the proper syntax to call the script. Here's some that I have tried. What is the correct syntax? The script is on frame inside the slide symbol.
//sym.getComposition().getStage().playSound();
//sym.getComposition().playSound();
//Edge.getComposition("CER_1").playSound();

Thanks for having a look. Yea, it's getting to the script fine but it doesn't like the syntax. Console always indicates javascript error, which is what happens when Edge throws an exception because it doesn't know what to do. The article that Elaine posted on above gives me the sense that it might be best to change the function to a variable, then it would be in scope to call but I have parameters I'd like to pass with it and I don't think I can pass a parameter with to a variabalized (word?) function. I know it's just me moving from ActionScript to Edge JavaScript and scope. Whereas I could always find a homebase in ActionScript with the stage, it seems that the stage in Edge is just another symbol and calling a function within the stage is never getting there. Elaine hints at putting outside the stage closure and it would be accessible, which, of course, has led me to start readying JavaScript books and learning more about scope etc. It seems like that is life as a developer. I dont' get that, oh, better take a day or two to understand that concept, oh, that function works now, next problem. ;-)

XML SCHEMA validation question

i'm using jdk 1.4.2 and am trying to validate an xml document against an xml schema. i don't have any packages like xerces or apache and am trying to avoid having to use them. i've had a look at the jdk 1.5 api documentation, and it seems to have some new classes dedicated to xml validation using schemas that 1.4.2 does not have (e.g. the Schema class). my question is, is it possible to do xml validation against a schema only using jdk 1.4.2 and without the likes of the xerces and apache parser packages?
any help much appreciated, thanks

The tutorial on Schema Validation parses/validates with the SAXParserFactory. J2sdk 1.4.2 JAXP has an error in the implementation of the SAXParserFactory. Parse/validate with the DocumentBuilderFactory instead of the SAXParserFactory.

Another excel question

hi,
I read an excel file like this:
CREATE OBJECT gv_excel 'Excel.Application'.
SET PROPERTY OF gv_excel 'VISIBLE' = 0.
CALL METHOD OF gv_excel 'Workbooks' = gv_books.
CALL METHOD OF gv_books 'Open'
    EXPORTING
      #1 = p_file
      #2 = 1.
FREE OBJECT gv_cell.
FREE OBJECT gv_excel.
FREE OBJECT gv_books.
FREE OBJECT gv_sheet.
CALL METHOD OF gv_excel 'QUIT'.
the question is, why the excel process is not kill in the task manager?
joseph

Hi ,
i think Rich is right.
another problem could be if you've used an object to
save your data:
like :
CALL METHOD OF H_EXCEL 'Save' = h_save.
so you've to free this too:
FREE OBJECT H_save.
