[Call for vote] UTF-8 BOM issue

Although in the FAQ, UTF-8 is recommended as the encoding to use[1], there exists a critical bug which stops users from using UTF-8 streams starting with a BOM[2]. :(
As you can see, this bug has been open for almost 4 years. I don't know how priority is set to bugs, but maybe it just needs more votes. Everybody interested in having this fixed and still have bug votes left, it would be great if you could vote for it. :)

We have a user who is receiving a lot of emails from an AOL address. Some of them open fine in CommExpress (UWC), but some don't, with the screen not changing when they click on the email, and all emails open fine in Pine.Let's start with the basics:
=> What version of UWC are you running (showrev -p | grep uwc)?
=> What browser is the user using to access the email?
=> Does this problem occur with different browsers?
=> Are there any javascript errors when the user clicks on the mail?
=> Is the content of the problem email(s) plain-text or HTML?
If an email cannot be opened then this is the problem that needs resolving.
where a sampling of the emails that do come up do not have utf-8 encoding specified.This may be a symptom rather then a cause, for example there could be a specific 8-bit (UTF-8 encoded) character which is causing the behaviour.
A quick Google search caused me to look at /opt/SUNWuwc/webmail/main.js, where I found a reference that said to uncomment a line to "enable fix for 6295293." This line is the only place in main.js that contains "utf-8," and another Google search shows that Sun bugid# 6295293 has a title of "UWC/Webmail Need the Ability to Change the Source Encoding from the Browser," which leads me to think that uncommenting this line could fix the problem.This RFE was to workaround email clients that were generating badly encoded emails which would display as "funny" characters in UWC/CE -- this wasn't to resolve a problem with the email not opening at all.
The idea was to provide a drop-down list of character sets so the user could manually select the appropriate encoding. This is along the same lines as the "View->Character Encoding" in Firefox and "View->Encoding" in IE.

Translation - XLF file with the UTF-8 BOM at the head of the file

Using APEX 3.2, I'm trying to get translations loaded for an application that I'm working on. We are going through the process of generating XLIFF files, sending them to a translator to translate, and then importing the data back in rather than manually editing the translations.
This works perfectly when I use my text editor to enter the (very poor) translations in the file. Our translator, however, uses a tool that adds a byte-order mask BOM at the head of the XLIFF file when it saves it in order to identify it as a UTF-8 encoded file. This appears to be a valid way for the tool to indicate the encoding being used though, obviously, the encoding in the header overrides it and the BOM is not the preferred method of specifying the encoding of an XML file. However, when we import the file in APEX, and hit the Apply XLIFF button, we get an error
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing LPX-00210: expected '<' instead of '¿' Error at line 1
The third byte of the UTF-8 BOM (0xEF,0xBB,0xBF), if interpreted as an ISO-8859-1, would be the upside down question mark character in the error message. So it appears that the APEX importer is interpreting the BOM using the ISO-8859-1 character set and throwing an error that the file is not valid. That is not my reading of the proper XML parser behavior.
Obviously, we can work around the problem either by asking our translator to use a different tool or by opening up the files we get back in a hex editor and removing the BOM. Is there anything we can do to resolve the issue that doesn't involve adding an additional manual step to the process or the translator changing the tool being used? Or is there something I'm missing that would indicate that a file with the BOM in the first three bytes should not be considered a valid XML file?
Justin

Hello Justine,
>> Are you stating that that APEX translation engine more or less requires the database character set to be AL32UTF8 in order to work properly …
Not exactly.
The APEX translation engine uses the XML DB parser, and this one needs a legal XML file. The problem is that in your specific case, the encoding of the XLIFF file doesn’t match the database character set, hence a character set conversion process is involved in the middle. This conversion process – from UTF-8 to WE8MSWIN1252 embeds illegal XML characters in your stored XML file, right where the BOM is. If, for example, your XLIFF file were encoded in Windows-1252, no character conversion would be necessary and the final (database stored) version of the XLIFF would have been remained legal (assuming it started this way). In this case, the APEX translation mechanism will work just fine, even with a database character set of WE8MSWIN1252 (as you can see when you are using your own XLIFF files, which don’t include the (offending) BOM byte).
>> … even if an alternate character set encodes all the characters we need?
With your current database configuration, it seems that the alternate character set you are talking about can’t really encode all the characters that you need, as it can’t cope with the UTF-8 BOM conversion. It very well may be the only character it can’t handle, but that is enough.
As we need to be practical, and a database character set conversion is most likely out of the question, the simple solution is probably asking your translator to save your XLIFF files without including the BOM. I’m not familiar with the professional XLIFF editors you mentioned, however, as UTF-8 encoding doesn’t really need a BOM, saving a UTF-8 file without it should be an option (just like Keith mentioned with regards to very simple editors like the windows’ Notepad, or Notepad++).

Arie.

I have a production mobile Flex app that uses RemoteObject calls for all data access, and it's working well, except for a new remote call I just added that only fails when running with a release build. The same call works fine when running on the device

I have a production mobile Flex app that uses RemoteObject calls for all data access, and it's working well, except for a new remote call I just added that only fails when running with a release build. The same call works fine when running on the device (iPhone) using debug build. When running with a release build, the result handler is never called (nor is the fault handler called). Viewing the BlazeDS logs in debug mode, the call is received and send back with data. I've narrowed it down to what seems to be a data size issue.
I have targeted one specific data call that returns in the String value a string length of 44kb, which fails in the release build (result or fault handler never called), but the result handler is called as expected in debug build. When I do not populate the String value (in server side Java code) on the object (just set it empty string), the result handler is then called, and the object is returned (release build).
The custom object being returned in the call is a very a simple object, with getters/setters for simple types boolean, int, String, and one org.23c.dom.Document type. This same object type is used on other other RemoteObject calls (different data) and works fine (release and debug builds). I originally was returning as a Document, but, just to make sure this wasn't the problem, changed the value to be returned to a String, just to rule out XML/Dom issues in serialization.
I don't understand 1) why the release build vs. debug build behavior is different for a RemoteObject call, 2) why the calls work in debug build when sending over a somewhat large (but, not unreasonable) amount of data in a String object, but not in release build.
I have't tried to find out exactly where the failure point in size is, but, not sure that's even relevant, since 44kb isn't an unreasonable size to expect.
By turning on the Debug mode in BlazeDS, I can see the object and it's attributes being serialized and everything looks good there. The calls are received and processed appropriately in BlazeDS for both debug and release build testing.
Anyone have an idea on other things to try to debug/resolve this?
Platform testing is BlazeDS 4, Flashbuilder 4.7, Websphere 8 server, iPhone (iOS 7.1.2). Tried using multiple Flex SDK's 4.12 to the latest 4.13, with no change in behavior.
Thanks!

After a week's worth of debugging, I found the issue.
The Java type returned from the call was defined as ArrayList. Changing it to List resolved the problem.
I'm not sure why ArrayList isn't a valid return type, I've been looking at the Adobe docs, and still can't see why this isn't valid. And, why it works in Debug mode and not in Release build is even stranger. Maybe someone can shed some light on the logic here to me.

How do I log a support call for Pages with Apple?

Hello,
Sorry to have to ask this question here because I suspect it has been covered and I'm searching wrong. Anyway I'm on the Apple support site trying to log a call for some erratic behaviour when Pages tries to sync with iCloud. It seems that no matter what I end up having to enter the serial number of my hardware. Well first off this is a software issue and not a hardware issue - I've been to the Genius Bar and they believe it is Pages failing to sync with the iCloud. I have had both the iPad and the iPhone replaced during the issue and still the same problem. Secondly I have two devices affected by the same Pages behaviour
Ok so after going around in circles for quite some time and becoming quite frustrated I thought I would come here for some sane suggestions. The first of which I fully expect to be an explanation of how to log a software support call Is there anyone out there who can advise me on how to log my issue please?
Many thanks in advance,
Andy

Do what you did before and, in a second session, look at V$SESSION and other relevant dynamic performance views.

Hi Kai,
Is there any queue entry on transactions : SMQ1/SMQ2 with SYSFAIL status. If so, what is the error message it is showing?
Are you able to process the order further? Or getting an error message like "Document being distributed" or something?
Good luck,

Why is VO getter not called for custom VO attributes?

Hi,
The requirement is to add couple of fields on a OAF page. Here is what I did:
- Created custom VO by extending the standard VO
- Added fields to the page via personalization.
The issue is that the values for the custom fields on the page were not showing up. On investigation, I found the VORowImpl getter getAttrInvokeAccessor was not being called for my custom attribute. I tried to check the difference between the attributes for which the getter was called and for which it was not called. I couldn't find any and I'm totally left clueless as to what determines the getter to be called.
Really appreciate your help to move ahead.
Thanks,
Anil
Edited by: AnilMenta on Mar 5, 2013 10:40 AM

Hi Anil,
First of all, Could you please make sure that Extended VO is being picked up during the execution of the page . Ensure that extended VO is substituted
If the VO is substituted then try Steps below
1. Enable the diagnostics .. show log on page statements
2. Search for your custom VO name .
If you can find your extended VO here, then substitution is right and page is picking up the extended VO.
Thanks

WIDE-SCALE CALL FOR INPUT: The NSS 8TB Size Limit

NOTE: This thread is purposefully double-posted in the OES:Linux and OES:NetWare storage forums.
Like most of you -- I'm just a Novell customer. While I do not represent Novell in any official capacity, this call for information has been encouraged by Novell's OES team.
During this week's OES2SP3 Beta conference call, a topic was brought up again regarding the aging size limit of the NSS file-system.
Quite simply the current NSS file system size limit of 8TB is too small for modern and emerging needs. The reality is that customer data is trending larger all the time. A failure to act quickly will eventually mean the obsolecense of this file-system and apathy in the customer base.
Novell will be monitoring this thread. If sufficent interest can be documented then Novell could more easily marshall the needed internal resources to make this happen sooner rather than later.
WHAT THIS THREAD IS -NOT- INTENDED TO BECOME
- A discussion of how one could use DFS or other techniques to mitigate NSS' size constraint.
- A string of suggestions for alternative file-systems such as NTFS or Posix-based one like XFS, BTRFS, EXT4
- A debate on why people should not want a larger-than-8TB file-system. That debate is effectively over -- almost every major player in the file-system space is doing anything from 64TB into the Exabyte range (XFS, NTFS, others).
WHAT THIS THREAD IS INTENDED FOR
- A tally of other Novell customers who DO see the need and would prefer to keep this data on NSS if it could accomodate it. Your post can be as simple as: "This is important to us, too!" Also helpful, though not required, would be a brief statement or case-study of what your needs would look like (types of data, overall size and quantity of files).
On the beta calls, several of us have been vocal supporters for this change. We now hope that by casting a wider net that we can find others who perhaps have been suffering in silence.

I have a couple instances where the 8TB limit is "inconvenient," but all are for comparatively small numbers of large files. As a practical matter the bottlenecks in the metadata are reached far in advance of the storage limits. For example, how would a NSS volume perform with 100,000,000 files on it? This is the biggest issue.
So sure, there are things which could be done to expand NSS. As a practical matter the easiest would be to support larger block sizes. So 8TB becomes 16, becomes 32, ... all the way to 128TB. I assume 128TB would handle your needs. Of course how you back up and restore 128 TB in less than the age of the Universe, that's up to you.

Missing Some Fonts Called For in Apple Pro Training Serries FCS 2 Book

I am currently working my way through Motion Graphics and Effects in Final Cut Studio 2 by Mark Spencer and Jem Schofield in the Apple Pro Training Series. Twice I have encountered cases where I am unable to find the font called for in the book. One case was Helvetica neue (I substituted Helvetica) and the second instance in which the Herculanum font is called for. I am surprised that books in this series would use fonts that do not seem to be on my computer. I am using OS 10.4.10 with all updates and similarly for FCS 2. I feel I may be missing something here, i.e. perhaps the fonts really are somewhere on my system and are just not accessible to FCS 2. Is that possible? Suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Tom

Hanumang and All,
Thank you for your help. Let me bring this to closure by explaining what I found on investigating this issue and what I did to resolve it and obtain the fonts.
On the basis of your confirmation that these fonts should have been on my iMac, I called Apple Support. I spent the usual hour on line with them and went through two support people only to learn that the only way to get these fonts back into my OS X Library/Fonts folder (without having a second Mac computer) was to reinstall the operating system. It is remarkable to me that one cannot simply get the fonts off the Apple Installation disk, but it cannot be done since they are installed as part of the OS X installation and are not in a separate directory or folder on the installation disk.
I set out to do an Archive and Install with Preserve User Settings carefully checked. About one third of the way through the Archive and Install process the process hung and failed to move forward for more than an hour. I finally ended the installation process and attempted to run it again which it would not allow me to do as the Archive and Install process was now grayed out. I had no choice but to run an Erase and Install process to get a clean version of OS X on my system.
Once I had the clean version of OS X on the system, I used Font Book to check for Helvetica neue and Herculanum fonts and they were now there. I then copied all of the fonts in Library/Fonts from this vrigin install of OS X to an external drive. I back up my iMac every night automatically using Retrospect so I was now able to do a full restore of my Mac HD using Retrospect. Of course, once I had done that the fonts were missing again, but I just copied all the fonts from the external HD copy into the Library Fonts folder on my Mac HD, and all was well -- some 7 hours after starting this process.
You know, as someone who has recently bought their first Mac computer in 24 years, I would have to say that I am very disappointed in certain aspects of OS X. It takes an excessively long time to reinstall OS X compared to Windows XP with which I am very familiar. The Archive and Install feature of OS X has not worked for me on the two occasions where I have tried to use it and I truly miss the REstore feature of Windows XP.
I love Apple Professional level software like FCS 2 and Aperture, but I am not a fan of OS X. My hope is that Leopard with Time Machine and other new features will address some of the problems with OS X.

Zfs volumes broken post os patching - spec_getpage called for character...

Hello all,
I have a T2000 (sol10 8/07), OBP 4.27.7, SUNWldm 1.0.1, zfs version 4 that post os patching (using the Sept 08 Recommended patch cluster) now cannot use zfs volumes as virtual disks. Files on zfs filesystems used for boot devices however work fine (ie the ZFS for boot disk setup as described in the admin guide). Whenever I try and "bind-domain" on a guest domain using a zfs volume I see the following in /var/adm/messages on the primary domain...

syslog tail spins and chews up close to 100% of the cpu. The only way to recover the primary domain is to reboot it (and in some cases power cycle). On the system console I also see the following..

Note that if I remove vdisk1 from the guest domain, bind-domain works fine, no issues. So this is an issue just with the zfs volumes used as virtual disks. I also created a new zfs volume, added it to the primary-vds0 and the guest domain. However on bind-domain, same error/issue.

CreateRowFromResultSet not called for first row

Hi all,
Jdev Version: 11.1.1.7.0
I have an XML stored in DB as a CLOB. I fetch this XML as a CLOB (using clobdomain) in my VO and need to populate a few other transient attributes. I attempted to achieve this by overriding (as per blog entry) method 'createRowFromResultSet'. I observe a weird behaviour where this method does not get invoked for the first row alone.
A while back, I see another member suffer from a similar issue - forum thread. Is this a bug that appears when using clob and overriding this method?
Thanks in advance,
Srini

Hi,
we have the same problem. The method createRowFromResultSet() is not called for the first row. We don't have a CLOB. We have a primary key of type Raw. Maybe this is causing the problem.
We are using JDev 11.1.1.6.
Regards,
Linda

C++ STL library error: Non-const function ... called for const object

Hello,
I'm using the Forte Developer 6 Update 2 C++ compiler and standard library on Solaris 9 SPARC. I've installed the recommended patch set for C++ (both the workshop and platform patches).
In my code, I have a STL set with some elements that I want to modify, say:
typedef set<SomeClass> MySet;
typedef MySet::iterator MySetIter;
I'm trying to look for an element, then update some of its fields:
MySet theSet;
SomeClass sci;
MySetIter it = theSet.find(sci);
if (it != theSet.end()) {
it->update_some_fields();
The above code fails with the following error (some details scrapped):
Error: Non-const function SomeClass::update_some_fields() called for const object
Which is weird, since set::find() seems to return a set<...>::iterator, not a set<...>::const_iterator!
If I try a workaround, like this:
if (it != theSet.end()) {
SomeClass &tmp = *it;
tmp->update_some_fields();
I get this other error:
Initializing SomeClass& requires an lvalue.
Is there some way to convince the Forte compiler to work around this situation (most likely a compiler / library bug)?

This was fixed, too, by replacing the set with a map. It seems that the issue was related to the fact that any change made to a set member is supposed to not modify the elements that make up the key (the elements that are used in the comparison function to determine the ordering). The Windows (dinkumware) implementation of the STL allows set modifications, though I don't know how they check that the key fields are not modified. The Solaris implementation (and the GNU implementation, too) disallows any modifications made to set members. At least that's what a person more knowledgeable of C++ in our office found out. So I don't think the issue was related to template constructors or any unimplemented features after all.
