BUG - client-side iPad keyboard in MRD 8.1.5 is mis-mapped for remote VMware Player console on Windows 8.1 Pro

Client system: iPad 4 running iOS 8.1.1
Client language/locale: US English
Client app: MRD 8.1.5
Server system: 64-bit Windows 8.1 Pro
Server language/locale: US English
Problem: client-side keyboard in MRD 8.1.5 does not work properly within VMware Player 6 console only
When interacting with VMs through the VMware Player 6 console app on the remote Windows 8.1 host, the client-side iPad keyboard for MRD 8.1.5 is not properly mapped. Letter keys and the top-row number keys send function keys or non-standard key scan codes
that aren't used by traditional PC keyboards. The spacebar sends the D key, and some keys send nothing at all. Many other keys work properly, including the client-side numeric keypad, and uppercase letters sent by using the Shift key (but not the iPad up-arrow
shift key). The only way to send the proper keystrokes to VMware Player from MRD 8.1.5 is to not use the client-side iPad keyboard and instead switch to the on-screen keyboard provided by the remote Windows server.
This problem only occurs within the VMware Player console app, and only with RDP connections that use the MRD 8.1.5 client on iOS. I do not encounter the problem with other iOS RD clients such as iFreeRDP by Thinstuff or Pocket Cloud Remote Desktop by Wyse.
Steps to reproduce:
Connect to Windows 8.1 Pro system from the MRD 8.1.5 client for iOS 8.1.1
Using the client-side iPad keyboard within MRD 8.1.5, bring up the Run dialog by typing Windows-R
Launch Notepad by typing notepad.exe in the Run dialog and pressing Enter on the client-side iPad keyboard
Type some sample text in Notepad until you're confident that the client-side iPad keyboard is functioning properly
Launch VMware Player 6 and start up a VM (mine was Windows Server 2008)
Open the sign-on prompt in the VM by sending Ctrl-Alt-Ins from the client-side keyboard or by pressing the Ctrl-Alt-Del icon in VMware Player
Touch or click in the password field in the VM to ensure it has keyboard focus
Using the client-side keyboard, try to type letters or numbers in the password field, and notice that dots generally do not appear for most keypresses
Switch to the server-side on-screen keyboard and delete the contents of the password field if it is not already empty
Use the server-side on-screen keyboard to sign on to the VM
Inside the VM, open Notepad or some other text editor
Enter text into the editor from both the client-side and server-side keyboards to verify that only the server-side keyboard is functioning properly within the VM
This issue is the only problem I'm having with MRD for iOS, and I hope it is resolved soon.
Thanks,
Fred

Client Side Rich Internet Applications in Java. Do we have support for it ?

What about the use of Java EE technologies on client-side ? The Java EE 5 specification lists different technologies: servlet, JSP, JSF, EJB, JTA, JDBC, JPA, JMS, JNDI, JavaMail, XML processing, JCA, JAAS, web services, JMX...
Almost all of them are used on the server side. What about building applications on the client side ?
Is Sun thinking too much hardware these days ? Why is that most of the products come out of 3rd party vendors like apache for instance ?

There's your fundamental problem... We KNOW from bitter experience that rich client app are NOT scalable. The world simply doesn't work that way.
Architecture starts from the foundations and works up. Computer systems achitectures start from the server and work out... We're just not out there yet dude.
My crystal ball says that within 20 years computers will be sooooo freeken fast that "scalable" really won't be an issue any longer, except for worldwide realtime massive transaction rate systems (like VR role playing games)... so enterprise solutions will naturally migrate back towards the desktop.
In the meantime the kids are having fun on the desktop and us "boring backend people" collect $40 million dollars in twenty minutes with rock-solid server-side solutions. Horses for courses. Watch for pitch reports.

Client side: is it safe to add a line to NFS StartupItem for a mount?

(posted this on tiger client board, but realized that this is actually a better forum for this)
I need to mount an nfs share at boot on my clients.
I dont want to use fstab, because I need a specific mount location (dont want it to add the /private/Network.. symlink)
Right now, I added my nfs_mount line to the end of the startup section of /System/Library/StartupItems/NFS/NFS
Is this a safe place to add something like this, or is there a better way/place to add such a thing? (I dont want a future update to dissolve my setup.)
Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Any future software update may overwrite that file and you'll lose your mount.
A better solution would be to write your own StartupItem (you can just copy the existing NFS one if you like, just change its name and settings in its StartupParameters.plist file).
Alternatively you can add the mount info to your NetInfo directory which should ensure the volume is mounted at boot time. I've not used this method myself (I've taken the custom StartupItem path), but Mike Bombich has a write up on how it works.

Client Side Error Message in Notification Region

Hi,
Is there any way I can display my client side validation in NOTIFICATION region.
My Scenario,
In my application, I have dynamic Apex Items (Generating Using APEX_ITEM API).
I have added client side validation (Javascript) when users clicks the button and I am showing my error message in alert window. (which is working fine). But now my customer wants to display the error message in Notification region instead of ALERT message.
Can anyone help me to solve this issue. Thanks in Advance..
Regards
Balaji S

Hi
Yup, just create a div in the page template in the right place to hold your messages and give it an id like...
<div id="noteArea"></div>Now in you javascript, rather than using alerts, you can use
var noteObj = document.getElementById('noteArea');
noteObj.innerHTML = 'my message with any HTML needed';Is this what you mean?
Cheers

Link only with client side method for ImageArea

Hi,
I wanted to made an ImageMap and on each ImageArea set Link ONLY with client side method. But it doesnt work, no method is called. (in html is rendered only onClick="return false;"). When i tried to set some server side method it is working(server method is called). Is this righ behavior?
If it is how should code for calling only client side method look like?(now i am writing that map into html by myself, but it is not nice solution ).
And next question related to this, where is defined relationship betwenn htmlb components and java classes rendering them? i wanted to look in implemenattion of imagemap and change it for my purposes but i dont know how.
thanks
JJ

I had also some problems with the ImageMap.
I ended up by using the "HTML-way"
<map name="Innen">
<area shape="rect" coords="460,46,494,365" href="#" title="W7" alt="W7" onclick='alert("Nicht belegt")'>

For crate applet player on clienr side

resp
i have create a applet for video capturing in JMF but at broadcast time the
client side need a JMStudio but i want video on browser and for that i need a player not jmstudio
so what i can do for that
any one help me
please send at [email protected]

Sorry to keep replying to my own message, but it wouldn't let me edit my last post.
Anyway, I added code to wait until the player starts before continuing. It doesn't help, and, of course, now just hangs at that point. Here is my code as of now:
           if( audioPlayer == null )
                String url = "rtp://"+ipstr+":22000/audio/1";
                MediaLocator mrl = new MediaLocator(url);
                if( mrl == null )
                        System.err.println("bad mrl");
                System.out.println("Play audio from "+url);
                try
                     audioPlayer = Manager.createPlayer(mrl);
                     audioPlayer.addControllerListener(new ControllerListener()
                           public void controllerUpdate(ControllerEvent ce)
                                 System.out.println(ce.toString());
                catch (Exception e) {
                System.out.println(e.toString());
            } //endif init player
            audioPlayer.start();
            // wait until player si realized and started
            int state = audioPlayer.getState();
            while( state != Controller.Started )
                try
                    Thread.sleep( 100 );
                    state = audioPlayer.getState();
                catch( Exception se )
                    System.out.println(se.toString());
            }

My keyboard acts up after launching VMware Player

As the title says, after i launch VMware Player, my keyboard works fine inside of VMware Player, but outside of it it acts up sometimes i can't type anything and sometimes it wont type letters for every button i hit, depending on what i'm trying to type in the keyboard will only pick up certain letters (it does pick up the keypresses).
My WM is Enlightenment 17 and the computer i'm on is a Lenovo Thinkpad laptop. Current arch kernel (3.10) and current VMware Player version too.
If i change to another terminal (such as Ctrl+Alt+F2) the keyboard will work fine within that.
If i turn off VMware Player, the keyboard will still act up.
Edit:
I installed openbox for the purpose of running VMware Player from it in a seperate instance of X. It turns out the problem is not present there, so it's only happening in E17.

Try checking the setting option for the keyboard setting and see if there is a option for turbo or quick keys because that what sounds like id happing.

How to use KeyChain API from client-side HTML scripting in Safari on iPad?

I have a requirement where I need to add client-side scripting in an HTML page to be supported by Safari on iPad that creates a private / public key pair and that creates a CSR (Certificate Signing Request) in PKCS#10 or SPKAC format that can be sent to a certification authority server using form HTTP/POST that will then return the generated certificate.
I initially thought that I could simply use the HTML 5 tag <keygen> which can do exactly what I need, but unfortunately this tag is not at all supported on mobile Apple devices like iPad or iPhone, so I have to look for another solution.
I have noticed that the KeyChain tool should be available on iPad using the documented API, but I have no idea based on the documentation whether the API can be called from client-side HTML scripting on iPad.
Question : is it technically possible using the functionalities and API's exposed on an iPad to implement what I just described in HTML client-side scripting? If so, do you have some links with useful information that can help me on my way?

My iPad keyboard divided in half with one side on the left side of the tablet, the other on the right side and an equal blank space separating them. The entire keyboard also became smaller. How can I get it back to normal?a

Why does IE8 running on XP and Win7 Virtual Machine deletes the history while I'm still browsing the same site with client-side hashbang routing?

Hello,
I have a asp.net mvc 5 web application running on .net 4.5 hosted on my local windows 8 machine on macbook pro using parallels. I'm running Internet Explorer 8 Version: 8.0.6001.18702 running on XP and Version: 8.0.7601.17514 running on Windows 7 Enterprise.
I've got both of the virtual machine source from www.modern.ie
My web application is attempting to provide single page user experience by having some client-side routing by using '#!/xxx' hashbangs in the url so that I can get and post via ajax and change the hash in the url without causing the page to reload. My
code works fine in IE9+ and other modern browsers.
However, I'm facing this strange issue in both of the IE8 versions. When running my demo app in IE8, I can login, view home page and can navigate from this home page to many details page. From the very first login page, all the pages are the result
of form's post action via ajax which then expects html from server and loads in the DOM. The page structure of my app is like summary form => Details page (can also contain summary forms) => Details...so on.
The above process works fine for few of the navigation steps. If I keep navigating from one page to another & go back, I have observed that the browser back button is removing the history items slowly. And a time comes when it totally forgets about
all the history pages that I visited to reach this current page I'm viewing!! It treats like I have just started my browsing session and this current page is the first page I've landed on with no back option. Now if I again try to navigate, I have encountered
problems like both the back and forward buttons gets disabled.
Hope, my words above is clear enough to explain this problem. The same application works fine in IE9+ and other browsers.
Till now, I have tried following steps on both VMs:
Resetting IE8.
Increasing disk space to 1024mb for temporary internet files storage.
Setting 'Never' for Check for newer versions of stored pages.
Disabling the automatic crash recovery feature didn't helped in this case. Found this on support website.
Deleted temporary files, history, cache, etc many a times.
Search many forums, posted question on StackOverflow, ASP.NET
Forums - but didn't helped.
Tried 'beforeunload' event of browser to see if any of the page is reloading because of submit or any other reason. But the page doesn't reload at all.
The issue is browser forgets about the browsing history while I'm still browsing the same site.
Is there any possible fix for the issue above? Does IE8 have any issues as many ajax form post is happening on every page?

I have really tried many things to identify any possible reason of the issue above. Even rewrote all my javascript navigation code and checked server-side code.
But the only place where I got the solution is at site: http://www.enhanceie.com/ie/bugs.asp which states that there is a bug in IE8 which reads like:
IE0012: IE Travellog broken when navigating back/away from a page with
a large POST form If there is a form input field with a value longer
than 523,659 characters, when you navigate away from the page, IE may
clear the current session's travellog (similar to history), disabling
the back and forward buttons. Repros in IE6 & IE7.
There are following solutions that you can go for:
- Check for the input field that has lots of characters as mentioned above and solve your problem.
- If you have control over the system where IE8 will be used, you can add the following registry key on that machine. There is no existing key, so, you need to add a new one:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\TravelLog] "MaxSize"=dword:ffffffff
I am really relaxed to find this information as I spent really long time to solve this issue. Hope this will help someone.

Has anyone experienced the mute switch / auto-rotate switch iOS bug on their ipad?

Has anyone experienced the mute switch / auto-rotate switch iOS bug on their ipad?
I have experienced this on iPad 1 as well as iPad 2.
Basically, when you set the side switch to toggle screen orientation (or mute), after a period of use I will have either my sound cease to function or the ipad screen will not orient correctly. This depends on what i have chosen the side switch to toggle. I am not sure what causes it. The time it takes for the problem to appear is inconsistent. Some say it is caused by third party applications.
One can find numerous threads on here if you search for "sound on my ipad stopped working" or "orientation not working". It appears to be the same problem. Fudging with the toggle switch settings can fix it (but it takes a weird order to get it out of its non functioning loop).
Here is a thread that addresses the sound issue: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15263298#15263298

Its only for notifications.. it is not for sound from videos or music!

Full mask permission in SharePoint using Client Side Object Model

Full mask permission in SharePoint using Client Side Object Model does not include all the base permission while it does have all base permission in server side . Is this a bug ?
Or do we have any workaround for this.
BasePermissions.Set(PermissionKind.FullMask); is not updating all the permissions.
It seems that there is some limitation with Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll as mentioend at below link . Do we have any workaround here.

4.9 SP2 - Zfd3.2 SP3 client side files

Does anyone know if it's possible to build in the updated client-side
zfd3.2 sp3 files into this client (to save a reboot when the clients
detect newer server files?)
I've done this with older clients, not sure about this version.

Yes, should work the same way.
Client 4.91 will be the first that will completely leave out Zenworks
components.
