Are you really spoilt as a developer if you are using BEA Workshop?:)

Hi everybody,
Sorry if my question may bother you and there is not the appropriate place to post it, but none of my colleagues or friends are using BEA, so there is nobody else with whom I can share this thoughts.
I am a graduate student and I am trying to accomplish my thessis in Web Services Security. The fact that I chose to use BEA was a book about securing Web services and there was mentioned BEA.
Everything was fine till today when I had a discussion with my professors and showing them the application and how BEA Workshop works I received as a comment "you got spoilt with this platform".
I should confess that I don't have experince as a programmer and using other web application platforms, but if something like this is done, I don't understand why I should choose the hard way to accomplish something, why I have to write many lines of code?
Any comment is accepted pro and cons:-)
Cheers,
Mariana

Hi
many people like to re-invent the wheel or write all the code.
Today there are many JSR in Sun to enhance the development cycle ...

  • Do you really have to delete roles if you deactivate a user?

    I was searching through threads trying to find a recommendation regarding the best way to deactivate users in SAP.  I understand locking and changing the validity date, but I am also seeing recommendations to delete the roles...  In addition to roles do you also recommend deleting profiles (ones not associated with a specific role)?  I'm just asking because I was under the impression it was good for security purposes to know what roles/profiles (authorizations) the user had in the past if something happened that required research and the ability to identify "who had the ability to do what".  If we delete all of that information from their account, is their still a way to determine what they did have when they were an active user?  If it is OK to leave roles in and maybe just set their expiration date, how should profiles not associated to roles be handled?
    I guess most importantly, is there a known recommendation straight from SAP that I can reference?  My searches have come up empty.

    In my opinion, best is to:
    - Retire the user ID by locking the account (not just the password).
    - Set the validity on the user account to expire (preferably when this is known already, and not when a piece of paper becomes current...).
    - Setting the validity of roles is subject to the user compare to a large extent. It is very usefull.
    - Manual profiles are a bugger - dirty trick is to import them as a template into a role.
    > I guess most importantly, is there a known recommendation straight from SAP that I can reference? My searches have come up empty.
    I know that the technical explanations of how it works is to a large extent available, release dependently.
    If you search for the reports associated to the "user compare" (tcode PFUD) then you will find a lot of infos.
    Recommendations are more tricky, as it depends on what you want. SAP enables a lot of stuff and is responsible for the correct checks in the programs. But how you build your roles and profiles is up to you, and you have a lot of freedom in that area. You can also shoot yourself in the foot
    I am assuming that you are not on SAP release R/2. Perhaps a bit more details would help...

  • Developer class files are downloaded every time

    The jinit jar files are being cached. However the developer class files are being downloaded everytime. I’ve written other web aps where classes were downloaded only once - there is a way for classes to only download once and then automatically download when changed / added – similar to jinitiator – that is critical – just can’t expect a user to repetitively wait a few minutes to use an ap.
    Installed versions are:
    Java 2 Runtime SE v1.4.1_07
    Java 2 SDK, SE v1.4.1_05
    Microsoft IE 6 SP1
    Oracle JInitiator 1.3.1.17
    Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]
    Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.0.0 - Production
    Forms server 6i patch 16
    Web server 9iAS rel 1

    George,
    Forms files (jar) are cached and only checked for its timestamp. There are a few classes that are accessed directly and I don't know why - I think one of the EWT classes if i remember well. So 99.99 % of all files are cached.

  • Who are the big names for iPhone development?

    In .NET (C#), the big names are Anders Hejlsberg, Eric Lippert, Scott Guthrie, and Mads Togersen to name a few. All are Microsoft employees. They have blogs and there are lots of video interviews of them.
    Are there any similar Apple iPhone developers (employees) that are just as accessible?

    Apple used to do that kind of thing. Guy Kawasaki used to be the official "evangelist". Steve Wozniak is still, technically, an Apple employee. Neither really has any official role with Apple anymore, let alone with the iPhone.
    So far, the iPhone doesn't seem to need much help. Most iPhone developers are too busy developing to give interviews. There is a fair amount of media coverage. Just this weekend there was a story about iPhone developers in the New York Times. Of course, it was in the "Fashion and Style" section rather than the business section. Make of that what you will

  • Are we really vulnerable for plugins?

    Are we really vulnerable... or is the admonition to perform updates a catchall for out-of-date plugins? What I mean is, do these plugins really miss a new vulnerability every other week, or is the term "vulnerable" used to mean that there is a newer release available and you should just update it later, because maybe this release fixed something.
    I really want to know when cyber creeps have unleashed a new round of havoc via bad code in the plugins. However, I don't have the time to chase updates in Acroread or Java every week. Besides, after every series of updates, I always need to open up Microsoft Autoruns and disable their self-installed processes to call home and check versions whenever I boot up. I'm sorry, but any updating will be done by me when I'm not late for something at work. I can't say how many times my computer is stalled checking for new versions (and downloading and installing them while I'm trying to do accomplish something!)
    So if these vulnerabilities are just a reflection of there being a new version available, I'll research and weigh my options for the day and just avoid vulnerable sites for a couple weeks (that's a joke - I always avoid vulnerable sites and have never gotten a virus). However, if these really mean that bad guys are actively deploying malware, I'll take them more seriously. I know how to manage the risks if I know what this message means.
    One might wonder why plugins to display images and documents would be so vulnerable anyways. Is there really code in them that says "ok, the document is displayed, is there anything else the server side would like us to run on the client PC?" :) Looking at the recent Apple QT versions, they're not clear if the "arbitrary code" that gets run is that the PC will continue to execute random stuff in memory (which is more likely to lead to a crash) or if it's code placed in the image that will get executed.
    Thanks in advance for clarifying...

    hello, yes the updates from adobe and oracle for its plugins contain fixes for discovered vulnerabilities regularly. this should not be taken lightly since outdated plugins are the #1 infection vector for malware on the web nowadays...
    ''edit: you also might not be safe by just visiting known & "trusted" sites, since also ad-networks or content delivery networks might get hacked and used for the spreading of malware.''

  • For the average person what really is the point of the activity monitor app when all you really want to know is whether your mac is running at its best?

    I have had my imac for nearly 18 months now,
    It's okay, is the best I can say about it.
    It cost me around £800+
    So recently (and foolishly!) I downloaded OS Mavericks when I was actually looking for a freebie word processor programme (I got Bean because it's simple like me.)
    Now the point of all this is that Mavericks has new features like a redesigned Safari (But I ain't noticed any difference yet) and Imaps (Huh!) and Ibooks and Imovie or something.
    So when you are oldish like me, you really don't want people to keep changing and introducing new stuff (most of which is pointless anyway) all the time; because it takes us old ***** a while to get used to the last "improvement."
    So you try and get rid of all these new apps that you don't want and didn't ask for anyway,
    and then you find out you can't, because they're an integral part of the new OS.
    Brilliant!
    Then you find that Mail has to redo itself and this thing no longer works properly etc. and you start wishing you hadn't got up that morning...
    So you try and get it all back the way it was..
    And you can't.
    Because you don't have an external hard drive to use the Time machine back up facility.
    So you get in touch with Apple Support and it's now nearly bedtime, but at least you feel like you might be gettin' somewhere.
    You talk to the supportguy and suddenly you can't remember what the problem is and what your name is, and you're thinking you might as well order in a pizza seein' as you've drunk the last of the gin..."
    Anyway the guy manages to keep his temper and you get some degree of order restored but the machine still seems "jumpy" so someone says to you
    "Check out the Activity Monitor! That'll tell you if something's not working right."
    So you do, but it doesn't.
    Just a bunch of numbers and CPU stuff and User Idiot Input etc.
    All you really want is some little box to pop up and say,

    Press here for a full maintenance overview and repair menu.."
    By this time you are on the floor, your leg's got cramp and you really really need a pee.
    But there ain't no maintenance programme, just an activity monitor app you can't make any sense out of, so you yank the **** power cord out of the socket and go to bed..
    So you try and

  • Xperia care do you really care?

    hello sony,
    I am a loyal customer of this brand but  this loyalty is not paying off. I bought my xperia ZL because of the design. undoutedly it has the best design of all the xperia phones. recently is saw leacked images of xperia Z3 and i got really dissapointed. please why don't you get it that we hate large bezel...i repeat we(xperia users hate large bezel)! WE WANT SONY TO MAKE PHONES LIKE xperia ZL. small bezel is sexy. please learn from G3. this is frustrating for us. we wait for months and you eventually give us boring large bezel boring design. i won't change my brand but how long you want me to use xperia ZL. i want an improved version of ZL. btw we did not like xperia ZL2(its no near zl). work on it sony u are losing the battle. do something.please have a look at this design i wish you could make something like this and will literally beat samdung and other competitors out(http://gadgetsround.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/sony-xperia-z3-concept.jpg)
    thankyou

    Hi,
    I understand that you don't like design of new xperia phones. But I'd like to ask you to DO NOT speak on behalf of all xperia users. I agree with you that Sony should introduce (design) successor of ZL and it would make more sense (from my point of view) to release one Z and one ZL successor a year, if there are two flag ships. But saying it that way makes your serious and legitimate complain (opinion) less serious. I don't want to be offensive. I just want to point out that your opinion is legitimate, but the way you said it is little bit controversial (or not the best possible). :-) :-)
    By the way, I'm Sony xperia user and I liked my Arc S and Z and now I like my Z2. :-)

  • Do you really need the 4-in-1 drivers

    Do you really need to install the 4-in-1 drivers if you are using windows 2000pro? What I notice is that windows 2000 pro install all the drivers but the agp drivers. Ihave the K7T TURBO 2 MOTHERBOARD.

    Do you have the abilty to backup or image your OS? If so bench mark your system using Sandra, PCMark and 3DMark, install the latest VIA Hyperion drivers and bench mark again.  I am confident that you will see an improvement.  The VIA drivers are written specifically for the chipset, like using Detonator drivers on NVidia cards.  If not rebuild you image from your back up.

  • I really think that Notes should tell you on it's home screen how many notes you have.

    tonight i logged into iCloud on my PC laptop.  I could not find a note.  So i went to my iPhone 5s and i found my note using the simple search. And as soon as i tapped into it on my iPhone, it suddenly showed up on my laptop.
    I really think that Notes should tell you on it's home screen (both on the iphone and on a computer of any kind) how many notes you have so you know if they are not syncing correctly, and if notes are being lost.
    Also, there should be a way to download all the notes via any computer to a directory full of simple text files for the exact number of notes you have.
    I have 42 notes.  then I should be able to download all 42 into their own separate text files.  Make the filename of the text file the first line of the Note, just like it shows up on the iDevice.
    And finally, is there a character/size limit to the Note?
    Thank you!

  • Do You really Need a Screen Protector?

    I'd just like to know if you really need this, the GS has a different coating on their screen than the previous models. Do these protectors really work, do you need them on your GS for insurance?

    A screen protector on the new 3GS would defeat the purpose of the oleophobic coating. I have tried protectors on my Palms but I prefer bare back with the iPhone. Screen protectors are a pain to apply without leaving wrinkles and bubbles and you can never replicate the smooth feel of the glass. You will also lose a little bit of screen brightness as they will never be 100% transmitting. I carry the iPhone in my pocket with the screen facing my pants leg and my wallet on top without an unsightly bulge. I don't put keys or lose change in that pocket. I agree that if you are throwing the iphone into a bag, purse, or backpack with lots of sharp objects (like your eating utensils or Bowie knife set), a slip cover might be a good idea. I bought one but it was so tight and hard to remove that I don't use it. Maybe others can suggest a good case that preserves the slimness of the iPhone.
