Best strategy for implementing a wizard?

Hi all,
I'm currently writing a wizard in java based on the wizard model provided from the sun developer network. The panel structure in the wizard is non linear. I want the content of later panels to be dependent on input from earlier panels. Specifically, I want a directory entered by the user in the first panel to provide a path to a File object in the third panel. You see, currently all the panels are instantiated along with the wizard class. I was wondering whats the best approach to doing this:
- Creating a new wizard that takes input data from the earlier wizard.
- Instantiate the third panel after data has been entered.
- Write some kind of function that will update the third panel after next has been clicked in the first panel.
If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
Thanks.

The first step to writing a GUI is to choose its architecture, like MVC or MVP: [http://martinfowler.com/eaaDev/uiArchs.html]

What's the best strategy to implement ads?

Hello Everyone,
I’ve inherited a site as the content manager and the
owners would like to start selling ad space on certain pages.
Mostly the ad banners will be on the either side of the web pages.
To see the site with out signing-up this page is public:
http://www.kidstylesource.com/industry/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=2 7&Itemid=91
The site is built with Joomla and Dreamweaver. The site is
fairly removed from the Joomla structure that Dreamweaver will be
playing a big part here setting up ad banner areas. Joomla has
it’s own way of running ad banners but as mentioned
it’s very removed from the Joomla way.
I’m just wondering what is the best strategy to
implement the ads with placement on the page, tables and/or div
with out doing a whole rewrite of each page? The body of the pages
are a mix of tables and div.
Also I’d like to think about the future using an ad
server as I’ve never used one before and don’t know
what code/structure the ad server is expecting on the website. At
this time the website is just getting off the ground so I feel an
ad server is not necessary until traffic picks-up.
Many Thanks,
John V.

Hi Helen,
Are Form1, Form2 etc five different pages? Are they based on different tables?
Typically, a tree would be a heirarchical structure (child, parent, grandparent etc) - your structure is more like a simple list.
Also typically, a report is used as the front-end to a form. A link on the report would move the user to a form that allows them to insert/update/delete data. If the five "forms" are based on different data, I would have five tabs in your app - one for each - and have the front-end report as the main page for each tab.
Or, perhaps, I'm reading your requirement wrong?

Best strategy for variable aggregate custom component in dataTable

Hey group, I've got a question.
I'd like to write a custom component to display a series of editable Things in a datatable, but the structure of each Thing will vary depending on what type of Thing it is. So, some Things will display radio button groups (with each radio button selecting a small set of additional input elements, so we have a vertical array radio buttons and beside each radio button, a small number of additional input elements), some will display text-entry fields, and so on.
I'm wondering what the best strategy for tackling this sort of thing is. I'm sort of thinking I'll need to do something like dynamically add to the component tree in my custom component's encodeBegin(), and purge the extra (sub-) components in encodeEnd().
Decoding will be a bit of a challenge, maybe.
Or do I simply instantiate (via constructor calls, not createComponent()) the components I want and explicitly call their encode*() and decode() methods, without adding them to the view tree?
To add to the fun of all this, I'm only just learning Faces (having gone through the Dudney book, Mastering JSF, and writing some simpler custom components) and I don't have experience with anything other than plain vanilla JSP. (No EJB, no Struts, no Tapestry, no spiffy VisualDevStudioWysiwyg++ [bah humbug, I'm an emacs user]). I'm using JSP 2.0, JSF 1.1_01, JBoss 4.0.1 and JDK 1.4.2. No, I won't upgrade to 1.5 (yet).
Any hints, pointers to good sample code? I've looked at some of the sample code that came with the RI and I've tried to navigate the JSF Blueprints stuff, but I haven't really found anything on aggregating components into a custom component. Did I miss something obvious?
If this isn't a good question, please let me know how I can sharpen it up a bit.
Thanks.
John.

Hi,
We're doing something very similar. I had a look at the Tomahawk Date component, and it seems to dynamically created InputText components in the encodeEnd(). However, it doesn't decode this directly (it only expects a single textual value). I expect you may have to check the request yourself in decode().
Other ideas would be appreciated, though - I'm still new to JSF.

Best practice for implementing Manufacturing Cost Planning ( MCP)

is there any best practice for implementing Manufacturing Cost Planning ( MCP) using BI-IP?

Hi:
Both options are viable. If you reverse posting in FB50 then FI GL account postings will also be reversed and along with cost center postings. Hence here advantage is that cost center reversal will be with referenced to the original document with which wrong posting were made. Disadvantage here is that you will to post the entry again in FB50 . In KB11N you will simply transfer cost center amount from wrong to new one that should be in place of it but here you will have no reference . I personally think reversing posting through FB50 is viable options , reverse postings can be seen in KSB1 as well against that cost center.

What's best strategy for dealing with 40+ hours of footage

We have been editing a documentary with 45+ hours of footage and presently have captured roughly 230 gb. Needless to say it's a lot of files. What's the best strategy for dealing with so much captured footage? It's almost impossible to remember it all and labeling it while logging it seems inadequate as it difficult to actually read comments in dozens and dozens of folders.
Just looking for suggestions on how to deal with this problem for this and future projects.
G5 Dual Core 2.3 Mac OS X (10.4.6) 2.5 g ram, 2 internal sata 2 250gb

Ditto, ditto, ditto on all of the previous posts. I've done four long form documentaries.
First I listen to all the the sound bytes and digitize only the ones that I think I will need. I will take in much more than I use, but I like to transcribe bytes from the non-linear timeline. It's easier for me.
I had so many interviews in the last doc that I gave each interviewee a bin. You must decide how you want to organize the sound bytes. Do you want a bin for each interviewee or do you want to do it by subject. That will depend on you documentary and subject matter.
I then have b-roll bins. Sometime I base them on location and sometimes I base them on subject matter. This last time I based them on location because I would have a good idea of what was in each bin by remembering where and when it was shot.
Perhaps, you weren't at the shoot and do not have this advantage. It's crucial that you organize you b-roll bins in a way that makes sense to you.
I then have music bins and bins for my voice over.
Many folks recommend that you work in small sequences and nest. This is a good idea for long form stuff. That way you don't get lost in the timeline.
I also make a "used" bin. Once I've used a shot I pull it out of the bin and put it "away" That keeps me from repeatedly looking at footage that I've already used.
The previous posts are right. If you've digitized 45 hours of footage you've put in too much. It's time to start deleting some media. Remember that when you hit the edit suite, you should be one the downhill slide. You should have a script and a clear idea of where you're going.
I don't have enough fingers to count the number of times that I've had producers walk into my edit suite with a bunch of raw tape and tell me that that "want to make something cool." They generally have no idea where they're going and end up wondering why the process is so hard.
Refine your story and base your clip selections on that story.
Good luck

Best strategy for migrating GL 6 DW CS4?

First I gotta say that -- as decade-long user of several Adobe products -- Adobe has really screwed over long-time users of Adobe Golive. After a week of messing around with something that should be a slam dunk (considering the substatial amount of $ I've paid to Adobe over the years for multiple copies of GoLive 5, 6 and CS2), I can tell you Adobe's GL > DW migration utility ONLY works for sites created FROM SCRATCH in GL CS2 (they must have the web-content, web-data folder structure). This means that Adobe's migration utility only works for maybe 10% - 15% of the GoLive sites out there, and about 10% - 15% of Adobe's loyal GoLive customers, and it particularly screws over Adobe's longtime GoLive customers. Sweet! ( (Just like Adobe screwed over users of PhotoStyler -- which was a better image editor than PhotoShop, BTW.) Obviously, I would walk away from Adobe and make sure I never ever paid them another cent, but the Republican-Democrat "free market economy" has made sure I don't have that option.
So I've gotta make Dreamweaver work, which means I've gotta migrate several large sites (the biggest has 5,000 static pages and is about 2 gigs in size) from GoLive 6 (or GoLive CS2 with the older folder structure) to Dreamweaver CS4.
Which brings me to my question -- what's the best strategy for doing ths? Adobe's migration utility is a bad joke, so here's the alternative, real world plan I've come up with. I'd apreciate any suggestions or comments...
1) create copies of all my GL components in the content folders for my GL site (not in the GoLIve components folder)
2) replace the content of all GoLive compnents (in the GoLive components folder) with unque character strings, so that instead of a header with images and text, my old header would look something like xxxyyyzzz9
3) create a new folder called astoni in the root of my hard drive. Copy all my GoLIve web site content (HTML, images, SWF, etc.) into astoni in exactly the structure it was in with GL
4) create a new Dreamweaver site by defining astoni as the local location for my site, astoni\images as the location for images, etc.
5) use Dreamweaver and open the newly defined astoni site. Then open each of the GoLive components I copied into a content level folder in astoni, and drag each into the Dreamweaver Assets/Library pane, in order to create library items just like my old GoLive components
6) use Dreamweaver to Search & Replace out the unique text strings like xxxyyyzzz9 with the content of my new DW library items
7) refresh site view to make all the links hook up...
Thanks for your help. Hope this discussion helps others too...

Instead of ragging on people who are familiar with DW and Site Development, you should be gracious and accept the practical advice you've been given. A "best strategy" would be to read some tutorials and learn how to work with HTML, CSS and server-side technologies. Without some basic code skills, you're going to find DW an uphill, if not impossible battle.
Frankly, I don't have free time to hand-hold someone through the excruciating process of migrating a 5,000 page static site from GoLive to DW. And I doubt anyone else in this forum has either. We're not Adobe employees. We don't get paid to participate here. We are all product users JUST LIKE YOU.
I'm sorry you're frustrated. I'm also sorry for your clients. But the problem you have now isn't Adobe's fault. It's yours for not keeping up with server-side technologies or handing-off these huge static sites to more capable web developers. I'm not saying you need to buy anyone's books, but they are good resources for people willing to learn new things.
That said, maybe you should stick with GoLive. The software doesn't have an expiration date on it and will continue working long into the future. If you're happy using GL, keep using it to maintain your legacy sites. At the same time learn X/HTML, CSS & PHP or ASP. Use DW CS4 for the creation of new projects.

Remember that you can continue the conversation in the Security community, subcommunity, VPN, shortly after the event. This event lasts through September 20, 2013. Visit this forum often to view responses to your questions and those of other Cisco Support Community members.

Jouni,
Good question. And answer is complex, there is in depth and there is in depth.
Most people would be satisfied by reading a summary of all the different components - encryption, hashing, signing, PKI, how IPsec and SSL/TLS work. This group also counts most of security CCIEs.
To this extent CCIE Security Study Guide (by Henry Benjamin) was a good read, if a bit outdated today.
Most people who are in depth will look first into specification.
RFC 4301 (IPsec architecture)
RFC 2246 (TLS 1.0)
Are a good start and contain references to other documents worth reading.
This is where the good folks will base their knowledge of off.
The really in depth people will look into the math behind it and will conquer topics like
Elliptic Curve Crypto ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_curve_cryptography ) and difference between CCM, GCM and CCB, to which you have really good materials published by universities.
There are relatively a few who know this.
To start with I can suggest:
- http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/book.html (Ross' Anderson book is free, informative and suprisngly entertaining, this is a definitely a must-read for security/VPN).
- Have a look at books recommended by Richard Bejtlich or Bruce Scheiner - while they might not be VPN specific it's a good security read most of the time.
I'll have a look at the books at home see which one can be interesting to read, and edit this post.

Best strategy for buring dual layer DVD

I've got a project that won't fit on a single layer DVD, so I've got it set up for dual layer and "best quality" which results in a 7.38GB disk image. However, iDVD 8 warned me when burning the disk images that some utilities may not be able to burn a reliable dual layer disk copy and to use iDVD instead, does this include Disk Utility?
I always use Disk Utility to make copies, iDVD took almost 7 hours to burn the disk image, I can't afford to wait that long for each copy. So what's the best strategy for burning dual layer DVDs?

subsequent copies burn in far less time immediately after the first provide you don't quit iDvd
If you know ahead of time you'll need more than a few copies, I'd recommend burning from a disc image to the desktop and reducing the burn speed (4x or lower) I prefer to use Roxio Toast myself. But others have had success with Apple's Disc Utilities as well.

Absolute Best Strategy for Cropping

What's the absolute best strategy for high precision cropping when time is not an issue and and want "perfect" quality?
What's the absolute best strategy for low precision cropping when time is an issue and standards are still high?
There's gotta be different strategies for doing this, and I was curious if we could choose a winner.
Thanks,

Heh, Marian, that about sums it up.
In all seriousness... How does "precision" connect with "cropping"? I've always thought of "cropping" as most based on an artistic judgment, not something done for precision. Perhaps you could describe your photography and what you expect from your workflow?
Are you cropping photos of documents? People? Stars, nebulae, and galaxies?
Is this "precision" you speak of an attempt to express "minimal loss of pixel data"? If that's the case, get the most powerful computer you can and always work at upsampled resolutions. And don't resample during cropping.
One last comment: Consider employing the crop tool in the Camera Raw dialog. This stores metadata telling future conversions how to crop the image, but the original raw data is still all intact. Note that you can open a whole set of images in Camera Raw, do exposure and cropping changes, and click [Done] to save that metadata.

Best strategy for data definition handling while using OCCI

Hi, subject says all.
Assuming to use OCCI for data manipulation (e.g. object navigation), what's the best strategy to handle definitions in the same context ?
I mean primarily dynamic creation of tables and columns.
Apparent choices are:
- SQL from OCCI.
- use OCI in parallel.
Did I miss anything ? Thanks for any suggestion.

Agreeing with Kappy that your "secondary" backups should be made with a different app. You can use Disk Utility as he details, or a "cloning" app such as CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper that can update the clone periodically, rather than erasing and re-copying from scratch.
[CarbonCopyCloner|http://www.bombich.com> is donationware; [SuperDuper|http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html] has a free version, but you need the paid one (about $30) to do updates instead of full replacements, or scheduling.
If you do decide to make duplicate TM backups, you can do that. Just tell TM when you want to change disks (thus it's a good idea to give them different names). But there's no reason to erase and do full backups; after the first full backup to each drive, Time Machine will back up only the changes made since the last backup +*to that disk.+* Each is completely independent.

Best Strategy for Integrating Crystal/Business Objects with OpenACS Environment

Post Author: devashanti
CA Forum: Deployment
I'm working for a client that uses AOL server and OpenACS for their web services/applications. I need suggestions on the best strategy to integrate a reporting solution using Business Objects XI. Ideally I'd like to send an API call from our web application's GUI to the Crystal API with report parameter values to pass into specific reports called via the API - I can get it down to one integer value being passed - or if this is not possible a way to seamlessly, from the end user perspective, move into a reporting module. We are using an Oracle backend database. I'm experienced with creating stored procedures and packages for reporting purposes.
Although I have many years of experience integrating the Crystal active X controls into n-tier client server applications, the past few years I have had little opportunity to work with Business Objects and the newer versions of Crystal or web based solutions with Crystal Reports. I signed up to try out crystalreports.com, but I doubt my client will find this solution acceptable for security reasons as the reports are for an online invoicing system we are developing. However we can set up a reports server in-house if necessary, so it gives me some testing ground.
Can anyone provide suggestions for a doable strategy?

Please post this query to the Business Objects Enterprise Administration forum:
BI Platform
That forum is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there. Also, all BOE queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.
Thank you for your understanding,

Best practice for implementing a scalable ecommerce solution

Hi,
I'm new to SAP Business One, is there a white paper on the best practice of implementing a scalable ecommerce solution with SAP Business One using IIS/ASP.NET? What licensing and software(version)is need to implement a scalable ecommerce solution. How to integrate with trade partners via BizTalk server? Any help on these topics would be most helpful. Thanks in advance.

There already is a very robust ecommerce package certified by SAP that runs on ASP.Net and integrates into Business One. It is called NetPoint Commerce and it is made by Praxis Software Solutions. http://www.praxissoft.net you can see a working B2C site of it at http://www.yakpak.com and it also has robust B2B functionality you can email [email protected] for a demo. The cost is only a little more than it would cost to cover all appropiate licenses with SAP (included in the NetPoint cost) plus it works with SBO 6.5 and SBO 2004 and the DI Server is only available with SBO 2004

Best strategy for flash access to an image in a protected folder

hello all,
i'm looking for a good strategy for my swf to be able to load
images in a password protected directory. since flash can't access
a file behind a protected folder i figure i'll use php to get the
image and pass it to flash.
how best to get an image from php to flash since i can't just
send a path to a file and have flash execute a Loader() to retrieve
it since the Loader won't be able to get behind the protected
folder?
is it best to have php send the file binary to flash that
flash will receive via URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY? is it best to,
at runtime, have php move the requested file from the protected
folder to an unprotected folder and after flash loads it then
delete it from the unprotected folder? maybe it's best to leave the
image folder unprotected and let an .htaccess redirect restrict
outside access to the folder?
suggestions?

The built-in Firefox Sync service allows you to store your settings, including bookmarks, on a Mozilla server. This isn't accessible as a file like Google Drive; it can only be used by connecting another copy of Firefox to your Sync account. You can read more about this here: [[How do I set up Firefox Sync?]] (I haven't tried it myself since it changed recently.)
The cross-browser Xmarks service is more focused: it just does bookmarks. http://www.xmarks.com/ (I've never tried this one either)
If you prefer working with files and you have a Dropbox or similar account, you could in theory back up your Firefox profile folder, or more particularly, the bookmarkbackups subfolder. I haven't tried that myself. To find the folder:
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* Help menu > Troubleshooting Information
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button
A window should launch showing your currently active settings files. The bookmarkbackups folder should contain dated .json files which can be used to restore your bookmarks to another copy of Firefox.
Alternately, someone might have created an add-on for saving Firefox bookmarks to the cloud another way, but I haven't heard of one.

what is best configuration strategy for rman backup.AND BACKUP WITH RECOVERY CATALOG OR WITHOUT RECOVERY CATALOG
PLEASE TELL ME
Edited by: afzal on Feb 26, 2011 1:45 AM

For simply two databases, there really wouldn't be a need for a recovery catalog. You can still restore/recover without a controlfile and without a recovery catalog.
From this:
afzal wrote:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY window of 14 days.I am assuming you want to keep two weeks worth of backups, therefore these:
alter system set control_file_record_keep_time=15 days;
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY window of 14 daysShould be:
RMAN> sql 'alter system set control_file_record_keep_time=22';
RMAN> CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 14;22 would give you that extra layer of protection for instances when a problem occurs with a backup and you want to ensure that data doesn't get aged out.
