Any Ideas?..

HI there!
I'm trying to write an application for a short photography course I'm teaching. Between the whole class we've managed to take around 500 photos, and I want to write a servlet that lets everyone choose the best ones to be used in a presentation - the idea being that everyone only has to select 4 or 5 out of 30/40 each.
I've sorted out reading the files and displaying them - but I want the application to be able to run with about a dozen users all selecting their photos at the same time, so is there some sort of slick and efficient way that I can get each of the users' sessions to interact with each other (ie. each one being able to see the images that the other users have selected) - managed by a single servlet?
I'm running tomcat on an (almost) dedicated server in school - so I have pretty good access to any resources that might be needed by the program...
Thanks!

You could look at using AJAX to:
1) send selections to the server
2) periodically update to show other user selections
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/AJAX:Getting_Started will get you started. It's really quite simple as long as you know javascript.

  • Any ideas for a status or "at a glance" splash screen / presentation?

    This is an idea I've been tossing around and wanted to know if there was something easy out there that would accomplish this...
    I'd like to mount a monitor in one of our common areas for the management team and have it display current statuses of some of our IT features/services and maybe quick bits on what we are currently working on, major issues, etc... 
    I've seen some company lobbies with similar setups that display company-wide information, weather, etc.. so I know the capability is out there but I don't know squat regarding what that would entail. The easier, the better, naturally... as I don't want this to turn into an entire job position updating it, haha. But something that I could hopefully remotely update would be nice.
    Any ideas? Thanks!

  • My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. It was working fine now I cant get it to output to the Tv. Any ideas?

    My Macbook pro no longer outputs to my vizio led tv. It was working fine now I cant get any picture. It just says no signal. It is not the hdmi or the adapter because it works fine with my other tv. Any ideas on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Please be as specific as possible. Thanks. BTW--I am using the mini dvi to hdmi adapter in case that was unclear.

    Since you say that the same connectors work on your other TV is suggests that the fault is not in the connectors but your Vizio TV.  I would check the settings on the Vizio TV.  Verify that is is set to receive HDMI input.  Perhaps you or some one else has inadvertently changed them.  Pressing the wrong buttons on a remote control device can do that.  (I am assuming no changes were made in SYSTEM PREFERENCES>DISPLAYS)

  • I "upgraded" to FF4, now it doesnt work properly, wont open pages, will open blank tabs when i click on a link, tried to go back to the older one but that doesnt work now either, have tested it with Safari and it opens everything fine. Any ideas?

    After upgrading to firefox 4 im now having a lot of problems using the browser.
    if i try an open a link in a new tab it will just open up a blank tab, if i click on links or even type in the google search bar at the top it doesnt do anything, it just says "done" and the circle thing stops as if im on the page already, have tested it with Safari doing the same things and Safari works fine. I'd swap but all my bookmarks and passwords are in Firefox so id rather stay with that.
    I tried going back to the older version of firefox (3.5 or something) but seems the bugs are here to stay now.......so.......any ideas? because its really annoying, shouldn't have "upgraded".
    Is there a new patch coming out anytime soon or should i start getting used to Safari?
    Thanks for your help.

    I would copy over the entire thing if you have room.  With iTunes 10.4 though, you can download any previous iTunes purchases you have made in the past with your current iTunes account.  While in iTunes, look at the left hand side of your screen and select "Purchases" and look at the bottom right corner of the screen and select "Download Previous Purchases".  If you have an iPhone, iPod and/or iPad...you can do the same thing from each device.  Nice new feature...just remember that those ripped CDs need a back-up!!!  Enjoy...

  • HT3529 My wife and I both have an iphone.   We initially created it under her apple id.   We will receive each others text messages from certain people not all.   Any ideas why and what we can do to stop it

    My wife and I both have an iphone.  We initially set them up under one apple id account.  When we text sometimes we will receive each others text messages from others.   Example I will text a friend...she will not see my text but the reply comes to both of us.  It seems to be random which ones.  Any ideas how to correct this

    Yup, get your own AppleID.
    The messages that are being sent to both phones are technically not text, they are Apple's iMessage. They use the data part, not the texting part. So if you have an iPad or a Mac computer, you can send/receive the iMessages there too.

  • How do I replace someone else's Mac ID with my own? Bought iPhone second hand. Previous owner re-set the phone but his ICloud account stayed on now my phone. He uses his macID on his new iPhone now?? Any ideas, as this issue is blocking my access to iTune

    How do I replace someone else's Mac ID with my own?
    Bought iPhone second hand on TradeMe.
    Previous owner re-set the phone but his ICloud account stayed on now my phone. He uses his AppleID on his new iPhone now and, understandably, does not want to give me his password. Any ideas?? Please.
    This issue is blocking my access to iTunes and any other file from my home computer. It keeps on telling me that I have to autorise my computer to pass on files, yet, it seems, for all this to happen, I need to get logged in through the phone's Apple ID. This of course is different to my one on my computer - and I have no password for it.
    This phone is not stolen!! I payed still a fair bit for it. Am still in contact with the previous owner. He doesn't know how to fix the problem either.
    Would appreciate any suggestion ????
    Thanks

    Settings>general>resets>erase all content and settings.
    That will put it back to its out of the box state. Set it up with your own apple Id.

    My iPod touch is stuck in landscape view.  Even when held vertically if I open facebook or safari is rotates to landscape.  Have tried turning on and off, same results. Any ideas to fix?

    Try switching it back from landscape to vertical. Or, go to settings and see if you have any special setting turned on that enable only landscape view. Also, try hooking it up to your computer and charging it to see what happens.

  • HT3705 Has anyone any ideas why a Pages file v09 exported from v5 bloats from around 212kb to 5.9mb? I had to export existing template files back from the latest version to v09 due to limited features in latest version.

    Recently updated Pages because of Mavericks update, quickly discovered how limited new version is, exported altered files back to Pages 09 format and re-opened using earlier Pages. In amending to re-save as templates again noticed a 212kb file has bloated to 5.9mb.
    Has anyone any ideas or experience as it will not take long to fill up a 1TB drive at this rate! - I had left behind PC's and MS Office and was reasobaly happy using Pages for business, but it looks like Office for Mac is now going to b eneeded.

    Yes, I opened them all with 5 then re-saved as v5 templates. Then realised other problems with v5 so exported them all back v09 as xxx.pages files. Used some with v09 and noticed they had all increased.
    I just checked again and noticed that the initial v5 saved templates had typically increased from 412kb to 1.1MB (they do have 4 graphics) - then after exporting the templates are 5.9MB in v09 an dthe files are still 412kb.
    I had a similar problem many years ago using RTF files with Word and they kept bloating everytime you edited and saved due to saved or linked graphics?

  • After having no internet for over 24hrs, my IPad has completely shut down. I have tried everything I can think of, including a reset but think that was a really bad move!! Any ideas for how to get my pad back? Simple words please..I am not a pro AT ALL.

      My internet was down for over 24hrs after a storm. During that time, my IPad completely shut down and I can't get it going again.  I studied the manual but couldn't find a similar topic.  I reset it and now it is totally goofed up.
       Does anyone have any ideas or should I just take it to an Apple store and pay??  Any solutions you may have, PLEASE use simple words as I am not a pro, by any means....probably why I'm in this situation.
       Thank you in advance.

  • Any ideas on a nice BSP view pretty printer?

    Hi there,
    I am wondering whether somebody already tried to extend the SAP standard pretty printer by an own functionality which fits better for pages with mixed content, containing not only BSP-elements but also HTML-tags.
    The standard pretty printer considers everything as plain text which is not a BSP-element and leaves it unaltered. Only BSP-elements are arranged according to their tree structure.
    This produces ugly results for pages with mixed content.
    1.) Requirement
    A Pretty Printer for HTML-based BSP views should cover the following:
    (a) HTML-Tags and BSP-elements together form the chain. As in following example:
    <z:table table_id="testTab" binding="//test/gt_test" rows="5">
      <z:tableBody position="top">
        <colgroup>
          <col width="4%">
          <col width="96%">
        </colgroup>
      </z:tableBody>
      <z:column name="type" header="<%=zcl_bsp_util=>dtel_text_s('EDI_TTYP')%>"
                listPos="10"/>
      <z:column name="text" listPos="20"></z:column>
    </z:table>
    (b) Certain HTML formatting tags like I, B, etc. should not be added to the stack but be treated inline.
    (c) HTML-attribute names should be converted to lower case, the attribute values should be quoted.
    (d) Like for BSP-elements, there should be a threshold after which the attributes should appear in separate lines. Instead of a certain maximum "number of attributes", this could also be a maximum number of characters per line.
    (e) Scripting Tags (<% ... %>) should start at a new line, if the content contains new-lines.
    (f) Evaluation Scripting (<%= ... %>) should be inline, if they are contained within text nodes (and not within HTML oder BSP element nodes).
    (g) The Pretty Printer should be parametrizable (with parameters like indent-depth,... ).
    2.) Exits?
    Of course, one could always use an external HTML editor and write an add-on for that editor which produces the desired result. Or one could take the view content into the clipboard, paste it into a plain text editor like UltraEdit or TextPad which allows external commands, apply an external, self-written pretty printer to it and then paste the result back into the View. But it would be easier to use the "Pretty Printer" button directly to get the result. Therefore the question arises at which point the standard Pretty Printer Functionality could be modified or extended.
    I didn't find an exit. But the pretty-print itself is doubly-decoupled in the standard which minimizes the number of points where an extension has to be made:
    2.a) First decoupling point: The Fcode handler method pretty_printer_ext( ) in cl_o2_page is calling
    dynamically a method in cl_o2_co2_processor:
    * call pretty printer
      create object pp type ('CL_O2_CO2_PROCESSOR').
      appl_str = me->pagekey-applname.
      page_str = me->pagekey-pagekey.
      try.
          CALL METHOD pp->('PRETTY_PRINT')
            EXPORTING
              indent              = 2
              ATTRIBUTE_NORMALIZE = 'X'
              ATTRIBUTE_THRESHOLD = 2
              BSP_UNFORMATTED     = source
              appl                = appl_str
              page                = page_str
            IMPORTING
              test_ok             = test_ok
              BSP_FORMATTED       = pp_source.
        catch cx_o2_co2_exception into o2ex.
    2.b) Second decoupling point:
    The method pretty_print() of class cl_o2_co2_processor (fancy names, by the way. It seems that many former chemistry students had joined the BSP team ),
    there is a second delegation, to a local class, as follows:
      data pretty type ref to LCL_BSP_PRETTY_PRINT.
      pretty = LCL_BSP_PRETTY_PRINT=>getInstance( processor = me ).
    The real logic for doing the Pretty Print, finally, is performed in this local class.
    3.) Implementation.
    Since, up to my knowledge, there is no HTML parser in the ABAP world,
    the implementation could be based on existing HTML Parsers, like the Perl module Parser::HTML, or the Java package http://htmlparser.sourceforge.net/ . The pretty printer could then be called as external OS command.
    Are there any ideas out there? Or is there somebody who already worked in this direction?
    Regards,
    Rüdiger

    For those who are interested. I found out that the Dave Ragget's classic "HTML Tidy" (see <a href="http://tidy.sourceforge.net/">http://tidy.sourceforge.net/</a> )  is available in ABAP! There is a class CL_HTMLTIDY (at least here in my SAP_BASIS 700 system) which wraps calls of HTML Tidy by kernel modules.
    The class is undocumented, but there are 2 OSS notes of this year for it, so it might well be that it is alive.
    HTML Tidy can surely not directly be used for Pretty Printing BSP views, but for designing test cases or for doing things like HTML parsing, it might be a helpful tool.

    Replying to myself. Kept trying different areas of the ipod this evening, clicking various buttons, including some I'd never used before. All of a sudden I could see my Nano in iTunes. I quickly clicked on Restore before iTunes changed its mind about recognizing the iPod. Moved some songs onto it and it appears to be back to normal.  Keeping my fingers crossed. 

  • IPod freezes when playing from a docking station...Any ideas about a fix?

    I have had my current iPod for a couple of years now, and until recently it has worked flawlessly. Over the past couple of months a problem has develoed when I play my iPod from a docking station. When I play the iPod from it's cradle (connected to my HK Soundsticks) or from my JBL Speaker Base, the iPod plays fine for the first few songs. After a few songs, the iPod stops in the middle of song and skips to the next song, then skips three of four times without playing at all and utltimately locks up completely. The problem seems to arise when I am simultaneously playing and charging.
    Any ideas?
    I am using a 40mb, clickwheel, iPod.

    All I can suggest is to re-encode the video as m4v with QT Pro, there might've been a problem in encoding. Also, try sending this same video (setting TV Out to Yes) with the iPod not plugged into the dock and with an Apple RCA cable, if you have one, hooked up to a TV. If that works, the dock connector might be damaged (unlikely) but it's possible. So once you've re-encoded, see if the dock situation works then. Good luck.

    I am facing error while running Quickpay in Fusion payroll that "The input value Periodicity is missing for element type KGOC_Unpaid_Absence_Amount. Enter a valid input value". Any idea?

    This is most probably because the Periodicity input value has been configured as "Required" and no value has been input for it.
    Please enter a value and try to re-run Quick Pay.

  • TS1363 I'm trying to update to newest software, but during proccess, an error accured, now the iphone 4s wont do anything, it only shows plug into itunes. when i do, the device is not recognized by windows or itunes. any ideas?

    im trying to update to newest ios version. but during the proccess, an unknown error accured, now the device wont do anything, just shows the plug into itunes screen. the device does not show in windows or itunes. the iphone wont do anything. i tried restarting, it shuts off and back on, but only shows plug into itunes thing. any ideas?

    From my experience, the only way you're gonna get a PC afflicted with this disease to work with a 5th gen nano is to roll back to an earlier version of iTunes.  Those affected have been exhausted by this ongoing issue.  To update or not to update?  And I always say never update unless you have to, and turn off all that auto update mess!
    I have two core2duo lappies running 32b vista.  My workflow dictates 32b fyi.  One is acer aspire running itunes v 11.1 (.0.126),  5th gen nano was originally formatted and works just fine on this machine to this day.  My other is the bigger badder lenovo thinkpad and the 5th gen will NOT mount using any version of itunes past 11.0 (.1.12)  Windows mounts it just fine.  itunes is not having it.  no shirt no shoes no service.
    I have both a 4th and 5th gen nano.  The 4th gen works great on both machines, I even successfully tested it with the latest version (11.1.5) before subsequent deletion on the thinkpad!  Weird huh?  I think my next experiment might be to restore my 5th gen w/ a Mac and theeeeen plug it into PC itunez.
    I'm at a loss on the thinkpad.  Scanned for intruders.  Cut the Lenovo bloat.  Executed system and reg maintenance.  Took down msconfig to a safe mode + itunes level to attempt to resolve possible sw conflicts but to no avail.  NO NO NO.  Every single dang port, every time on the thinkpad.  Has me feeling like others might get the same treatment by the next itunes update.  :|
    So in summary for me:
    5th gen nano and thinkpad are a NoGo on 11.1^  last working version for me = 11.0.1
    5th gen nano is working on an acer aspire 11.1.0  but no way in the world am I updating
    4th gen nano is kicking 5th gen nano's @zz so what would make me want to buy a new ipod?
