Best way to store string resources for localization?

My midlet has alot of string resources that I want to be able to easily customize, and I wonder what is the best way to do this using J2ME? To make the code easy to localize I would like all strings to reside in a single file (either a class file or a file system file). It doesnt seem that there is an easy way to do this (eg a "resource file" or some such). Do I just need to create a class that defines a bunch of static final String objects?
Thx,
Fred

Do I just need to create a class that defines a bunch of static

What's the best way to store test parameters for future use?

I'm creating a test stand that will perform various "standard" tests. Each of the tests has it's own setpoints (integer numbers) as well as some string values that are stored in the log file with the data.
What is the easiest way to store these setpoints and strings so that I can pull them into the VI in the future, say by selecting a test type from a ring control, etc.?
I would also like to make this dynamic so that new test types can be stored from the vi. (i.e. I don't want to have to hard code all the future tests and their parameters).

I like INI files, too. If you are looking for an easy way to read and write your parameters to INI, take a look at the Variant Configuration File IO Library of the OpenG Toolkit.

Best way to store big amount of data

Hi, i need to store a big amount of data, written in a txt its size is almost 12 mg, anyway it depends on the computer it runs, beacause what i want to store is all the shared files in a computer.
Which is the best way to store it? Array string? textfile? List? I don�t need the data after the app close.
Thanks

Well, then which is the best solution? LinkedList or
Tree? i only need to store the full path.
What i didn�t say, my fail, is that i need to search
for a file name once i have stored them...For searching, LinkedList will be very slow if it's very large. I think the same is true of javax.swing .tree.DefaultTreeModel, which is the JDK's only tree implementation. I don't know what Jakarta-collections has - it's possible they have a tree that offers fast searching. If you want to stick to the standard Java libraries, you'll want a Set for fast searching. TreeSet keeps the entries in sorted order. If you also need to display them as a tree, you can keep them in both a Set and a tree. If you don't have enough memory to do that, then displaying the whole tree isn't going to be useful to the user anyway, so rethink your goal.

Best way to store constants

I'm working on a set of drivers that call functions from a DLL provided by the instrument manufacturer. They have an extremely detailed manual, which has been very helpful. When they describe the functions (and the different values I can pass), they use named constants, and then at the end they define the value of each constant.
This sort of thing works great in a text-based programming language: just assign the appropriate values to the constants at the beginning and you're ready to go. But what's the best way to store these constants in LabVIEW?
My initial approach was to use (strictly typedef'd) text rings (or occasionally enums): the constant name was the text string, and the numeric value was the value of that string. The problem is that they occasionally have multiple constants with the same numeric value, and LabVIEW doesn't let you have duplicate values in a text ring.
The thing I really like about using text rings is that this way, I have all of the values at hand to use in a control or a constant; I just plop down the appropriate text ring and select the constant I want. It's also easy to keep consistent across all of the VIs in the project, since it's a typedef.
But...since it looks like this won't work, at least not completely, what's the best alternative? Enums wired to case structures that pass out the appropriate value? Dual arrays, one with the constant name and the other with the value? Something else? The downside is that all of the above need some sort of wrapper VI, but I can't think of a way around that. What would you do?

> It's also easy to keep consistent across all of the VIs in the project, since it's a typedef.
Unlike an enum, the ring's data isn't really part of the typedef. If you drop a (strict typedef) ring constant on the diagram, the data is only up-to-date as of when the constant is dropped on the diagram; it isn't dynamically updated to reflect changes in the data of the underlying typedef. (And of course anything goes with non-strictly typedef rings, where you can set the strings at runtime.)
As for the best solution, I don't know. Despite the above problems with rings I have still used them for this purpose since usually the definitions don't change with time. Your idea of using an typedef enum + case statement in a VI seems like the safest approach for constants that can have duplicate or nonconsecutive values.

Best way to store a text document

I have many (100+) contracts of about 100 pages each. What is the best way to store this data so I can search for text within a contract and search for text across contracts? Filestream? I think I want to be able to do a full text search for strings
within a documents and across documents..
Thanks in advance....
Rich

Hi,
If you are using SQL Server 2012, I recommend you to use the FileTable to store the text documents. The FileTable feature of SQL Server 2012 is an enhancement to the FILESTREAM feature which was introduced in SQL Server 2008, FileTable lets
an application integrate its storage and data management components, and provides integrated SQL Server services - including full-text search and semantic search. Before using
the FileTable feature, you need to
enable the FILESTREAM feature on the instance of SQL Server 2012. In addition, you need to create UNIQUE index and FULLTEXT index for the FileTable in order to do full text search.
About how to use the FileTable, you can review the following links:
http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2667/filetable-feature-in-sql-server-2012/

Best way to store a secret ket in DB

If I have a SecretKey obj, what is the best way to store it in DB?
Can I stroe a string (new String(SecretKey.getEncoded()))? then use String.getBytes() when getting it back from DB to create the same key?
Thanks,

to oversimplify even more:
NIST calculates you should be fine with AES & a keylength
minimum of 128 bits until the year 2031 by using Moore's Law.
just keep your plaintext out of memory as long as possible
if your that paranoid, and load it via a CipherInputStream.
all i'm saying is that no algorithm or process is 100% safe,
the main goal is to keep the information as hard to break for
the specific period of time.
what i did with my KeyStore was to save the SecretKeys in a 4D
BinaryTree and save the entire KeyStore in a SealedObject
using PBEWithMD5AndDES. all i have to do is memorize a really
long password. i applied a Thread so that you only have 5 - 10
seconds to enter the password.
so far i've had minimal problems, i induce garbace collection
and create as much decoy "memory noise" as possible.
so i just made an encrypted database that holds my SecretKeys

What is the best way to store and search 2D data

There is a set of data (~10k records ) in 2D dimension.

Hi,
Either userObjet[][] if you know how much data you have, and the data size is fixed, or use a list of lists. E.g. A Vector of Vectors (some will probably say that you should use an ArrayList instead, and that could be the case, but it sounds like you would want to display the data later on, and a DefaultTableModel (for JTables) uses a Vector as data holder).

What's the best way to store my info externally

I have recently bought my first Macbook Pro 13" with 2.4 Ghz. I am currently using it for my own business and do tend to get a lot of files together. I went to look at "About this Mac" and have already got 369 Gb used up in storage... I have no idea how I have done that as I have hardly downloaded any apps on this computer besides the ones that were on here. I did download Vware Fusion 4 as I have a reservation system which I used to run on my pc and need to have this on here too so perhaps that software takes a lot of space.
Could anyone advise on which is the best way to store my info externally, will any external harddrive do, or do you need a special one for Apple or Macbook pro. I am just asking as I have no idea and prefer to buy the right one straight away.
Any help would be much appreciated !
Thanks, Sara***

Sara,
The most reliable method is to use an external hard drive. Some are better than others, but most will work.
For the least amount of setup pain, I prefer to deal with the Mac specialists at OWC, http://www.macsales.com as they stand behind their products with great warranty and support. I have one of their Mercury Elite Pro 2 TB drives that has multiple interface capability so you can get a fast interface for data transfer.
Take a look at what they offer and see what fits your needs. If you have more questions about doing thin, just ask on here.

Best way to store data from a plot on hard drive

I have a DAQ set-up that will be on 24/7 for several days, and the whole time it's streaming data to an XY-Graph with a limited buffer. My question is, what's the best way to store my plot data in such a way that I can empty out my plot every few hours but if I want to pull up data from a few hours ago I would just have an option on my initial VI to view any old saved plot data.
Basically, I'm trying to not overload my RAM with all my plot data so I'd like to save it to the hard drive while my VI is running, and only display, for example the last 8 hours worth of data... I've been looking at TDMS, but I'm not sure if that's the right solution.
much thanks!

Hi,
You could save your data using TDMS as well as ASCII to simply load it in another application later.
Attached VI shows you how to save your data to a File after a certain amount of iterations, you can combine this then with your code and a timestamp.

Best way to store documents and images in a web application

All,
Which is the best way to store the documents, is it Oracle DB or file system or Virtual Directory Mapping in weblogic.
We are working on a Internet based application into CRM domain, there is a requirement where user can upload and download the documents (.pdf, .xls, .doc etc). Right now we are storing images in the DB. Is it advisable to store all the docs in database and will it scale up in future.
PS: There is no scope for using content server because of business constraints.
Please let me know, thanks in advance.
Regards
Girish

Best way to store depends entirely on requirements.
Why store it in the database when it for example is purely static images (e.g. used as part of the web GUI)? Instead that can be served up directly by a web server - which is specifically designed for this.
If it is more than just an image, but include tags (non spatial data attributes), requires transaction control (e.g. updating an old passport/id photo with a newer one), auditing, filtering/searching and ordering, requires backup, needs security and access controls, and so on - than that is most definitely a database function.
So the issue is not what the binary file is or contains - an image or pdf or something else. It depends entirely on how it is to be used and what the business requirements are in this respect.

What's the best way to store old FCP projects & media?

Hey
I've started to accumulate more and more video content of client projects, but I don't want to delete it in case they come back a year later looking for an update on the video product I made them.
So, what's he best way to store FCP projects and video files?
I thought maybe a BluRay burner might do the trick.
Any suggestions?
Sam

Since you're using RAW files you might peruse the DAM Forum to learn about possible other DAM (digital asset management) software and workflows. There is a wealth of information at that site.
I useMedia Expression for my primary DAM application and iPhoto for special projects like books, calendars, etc.

I have presently stored the data in nvarchar2 field. But i am not able to display it correctly.

Using the national characterset should work but there are other factors that you have to consider when working with NCHAR/NVARCHAR2/NCLOB.
If possible, changing the characterset is usually the best solution if it's a possiblity for you.

Best way to store TenantID in Azure

Claims?
I'm Claims my value is:
Type = "TenantId"
Value = is Guid ( difficult or impossible to be guessed by changing the value of the cookie )
Cache?
Session ["TenatId"]?
Router? {tenantid}}/controller/action

Hi
When you get a Graph Token from AAD, it has an Issuer claim in the Claims that has the TenantId in it, so you don't need to store the TenantId in a different claim:
Sample issuer claim:<Issuer>https://sts.windows.net/cbb1a5ac-f33b-45fa-9bf5-f37db0fed422/</Issuer>For your reference of all available claims in AAD token take a look at here:https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn195587.aspx#BKMK_TokenClaims

Best way to store a lot of image files??

I am working on a new project which involve user upload image to server and then do searching and view image. there will be a lot of image files. image will be displayed in web page as thumbnails, so there may be resized pic stored in server or resize on the fly.
What is the best way to store image like this? as files in file system? database? etc...?
Thank you very much

Since seraching is invloved use a database. A file system is not good place to search in.
Using a database will allow you to store additional data as well such as comments about the images or the ratings given by the users.
Of course you will have to develop a propper table structure for this.
Also do not generate thumbnails all the time instead cache them once they are created. Atleast the thumbnails of the images that are displayed often.
Also store the last updted dates with the images so you can loow the images to be cached by the clients or the proxy server. That will reduce repatitive requests for the same image from same client.
