Changing the Cusror does not persist

I have some Silverlight applications. I want to change the cursor to an hourglass until a three asynchronous events complete. I tried this
Cursor = Cursors.Wait
It changes it to an hourglass ok, but as soon as I move my mouse it changes back to the default cursor.
How do I get it to persist?
Bob Avallone

The cursor is associated with a uielement.
So you get it to persist by setting the cursor of an element the mouse will still be over.
Say I throw a button on my mainpage.
Click event:
private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
this.Cursor = Cursors.Hand;
Click that and I get a hand cursor whilst the cursor is over mainpage.
Hope that helps.

My album artwork is scrambled and manually changing the artwork does not seem to keep the right artwork with the songs! Any suggestions?

I manually re-synced my ipod with all of my music because I had typed in a bunch of names where my library had previously said track#/unknown album, and when I was done syncing, a good percentage of the album art was scrambled. When I try to manually change the artwork on the inappropriately tagged albums or delete and re-sync the album, it does not keep the artwork that I assign to it or the correct artwork that is associated with it in itunes. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

It seems like I've seen this... I think you should un-sync all music (in iTunes) hit Apply and then resync it all back on.

Error : the class does not match the class of the persisted object

Hi I am new to Java.. I got an exception "the class does not match the class of the persisted object for cl = java.util.Vector : __SUID = -2767605614048989439, getSUID(cl) = 1".. What it implies?

Three words.
You are doomed.
Whatever you end up doing will not be serialization. It will be reverse engineering of a old (dead) format that could go all pear shaped on you when you least expect it. One of the worst problems in using a solution where you reverse engineer, try and guess hackery your way through a proprietary semi (or totally) undocumented format is that it is really impossible to test your code with any degree of certainty. Does your code actually work? Or does it only work because you haven't seen some totally unexpected (but legal for the format) format yet?
Get the producer to produce XML instead of "serialized" data. This is a much better route for you to go down.
If you decide to keep on your path then grab a DataInputStream and go somewhere else because you'll have to figure out the format of another languages serialized data on a place that isn't this site.

When I open a new website, the page does not open, instead it places a tab in the bottom task bar? How can I change the settings so as when I open a new website the page is automatically displayed on my desktop. Thank You!

EJB 3.0 - JSF APPLICATION: DATA DOES NOT PERSIST TO THE DATABASE

Hi,
I am developing a JSF - EJB application and the data that I send from JSP Page through JSF Managed Bean --> Session Bean --> Java Persistence does not persist in database.
Here is my scenario ( Iam using JDeveloper IDE to create this application) -
SCENARIO START
The scenario consists of two web pages, one enlisting all the users stored in the database, the other contains a form for adding a user
1.) INDEX.JSP
2.) ADDUSER.JSP
Step 1: Create the USERS Table in database
CREATE TABLE users
user_id serial,
username varchar(255) NOT NULL,
first_name varchar(255),
last_name varchar(255),
password char(64) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT pk_users PRIMARY KEY (user_id)
Step 2: Add Database Connection To JDeveloper
Go to Database Connection Navigator and create a New Database Connection using the Wizard
Step 3: Create a New Application in JDeveloper and select JSF, EJB from Application Template
Step 4: ENTITY BEAN - In the EJB Node Right Click and Select EJB à New Entites from Table (JPA/EJB3.0)
Use The Wizard and create Entity Bean from Users Table which creates an Entity Bea POJO file as follows –
User.java -
package lux.domain;
import java.io.Serializable;
import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.NamedQuery;
import javax.persistence.SequenceGenerator;
import javax.persistence.Table;
@Entity
@NamedQuery(name = "User.findAll", query = "select o from User o")
@Table(name = "USERS")
public class User implements Serializable {
@Column(name="FIRST_NAME")
private String firstName;
@Column(name="LAST_NAME")
private String lastName;
@Column(nullable = false)
private String password;
@Column(nullable = false)
private String username;
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.SEQUENCE, generator="users_seq_generator")
@SequenceGenerator(name="users_seq_generator", sequenceName="users_user_id_seq")
@Column(name="USER_ID", nullable = false)
private Long userId;
public User() {
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
public String getLastName() {
return lastName;
public void setLastName(String lastName) {
this.lastName = lastName;
public String getPassword() {
return password;
public void setPassword(String password) {
this.password = password;
public String getUsername() {
return username;
public void setUsername(String username) {
this.username = username;
public Long getUserId() {
return userId;
public void setUserId(Long userId) {
this.userId = userId;
Step 5: STATELESS SESSION BEAN - In the EJB Node Right Click and Select EJB à New Entites from Table (JPA/EJB3.0)
Again Right Click on Model and create Session Bean from Wizard which creates two files –
UserDAOBean.java – Stateless Session Bean
UserDAO.java – Local Interface
package lux.facade;
import java.security.MessageDigest;
import java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;
import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
import javax.persistence.PersistenceContext;
import javax.persistence.Query;
import lux.domain.User;
@Stateless(name="UserDAO")
public class UserDAOBean implements UserDAO {
@PersistenceContext(unitName="Model")
private EntityManager em;
public UserDAOBean() {
public User getUser(int UserId) {
User u = new User();
u = em.find(User.class, UserId);
return u;
public List<User> getAllUsers() {
Query q = em.createQuery("SELECT u FROM User u");
List<User> users = q.getResultList();
return users;
public void createUser(User u) {
String hashedPw = hashPassword(u.getPassword());
u.setPassword(hashedPw);
em.persist(u);
public void updateUser(User u) {
String hashedPw = hashPassword(u.getPassword());
u.setPassword(hashedPw);
em.merge(u);
public void deleteUser(User u) {
em.remove(u);
private String hashPassword(String password) {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
try {
MessageDigest messageDigest = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA");
byte[] bs;
bs = messageDigest.digest(password.getBytes());
for (int i = 0; i < bs.length; i++) {
String hexVal = Integer.toHexString(0xFF & bs);
if (hexVal.length() == 1) {
sb.append("0");
sb.append(hexVal);
} catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(UserDAOBean.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
return sb.toString();
Step 6: Create a Deployment file in the Model and Deploy this to a JAR file
Step 7: Now Right Click on View/Controller Node and create a Java File –
UserController.java -
package lux.controllers;
import javax.ejb.EJB;
import javax.faces.model.DataModel;
import javax.faces.model.ListDataModel;
import lux.domain.User;
import lux.facade.UserDAO;
public class UserController {
@EJB UserDAO userDao;
private User user;
private DataModel model;
public String createUser() {
this.user = new User();
return "create_new_user";
public String saveUser() {
String r = "success";
try {
userDao.createUser(user);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
r = "failed";
return r;
public DataModel getUsers() {
model = new ListDataModel(userDao.getAllUsers());
return model;
public User getUser() {
return user;
public void setUser(User user) {
this.user = user;
Step 8: Configure page flow in faces-config.xml
1. Create the JSP file adduser.jsp by right-clicking View-Controller
node and selecting New > JSP. Use the wizard to create JSF – JSP Page, fill in
File Name adduser.jsp, click Finish. -
<%@page contentType="text/html"%>
<%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>

<h:panelGroup/>
<h:commandButton
action="#{user.saveUser}"
value="Save"/>
</h:panelGrid>
</h:form>
</f:view>

</html>
2. Repeat the previous step for another JSP file failed.jsp.
3. On failed.jsp add the string
Save failed
Next we configure the page flow.
1. Open faces-config.xml.
2. Create index.jsp -
<%@page contentType="text/html"%>
<%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>

3. Drag an arrow from index.jsp to adduser.jsp and replace the arrow’s label to create_new_user.
4. Repeat the previous step for failed, by dragging and arrow from adduser.jsp to failed.jsp renaming the label to f
ailed
5. Finally repeat the step for adduser.jsp, by dragging from adduser.jsp to index.jsp renaming the label to success.
This creates the following faces-config.xml file –

Step 9: Create a Deployment file in the View-Controller and Deploy this to a WAR file
Step 10: Create a Deployment file in the View-Controller and create an EAR file and add Model’s JAR and View-Controller’s
WAR files to it.
Step 11: Run the JSP Files
SCENARIO END
Now, When I execute Index.jsp, it does not list values from database and when I click on Create User link, it takes me to adduser.jsp page. When I fill values in this page and click Save button, it takes me to Save Failed page and data does not persist to the database.
WHAT IS WRONG OUT HERE ???

If you set a breakpoint in your createUser method - does this code get executed?
We have a couple of tutorials that might show you how to do this.

In Adobe Acrobat X Standard, our user used to be able to resize drawings to 8.5 x 10, it stopped working yesterday. It allows her to do this without an error but the size does not change?

Try unmounting the volume on your iMac using Disk Utility. Then mount it again. You may need to reboot the laptop or relaunch its Finder process (using the Force Quit window) after remounting the drive on your iMac. Remember that no process may be accessing any files on the drive you plan to unmount, or the unmount will fail. Unmounting and remounting an external drive on my iMac made it become visible on my MacBook Pro after it had disappeared.

CONSTRAINT pk_users PRIMARY KEY (user_id)
Step 2: Add Database Connection To JDeveloper
Go to Database Connection Navigator and create a New Database Connection using the Wizard
Step 3: Create a New Application in JDeveloper and select JSF, EJB from Application Template
Step 4: ENTITY BEAN - In the EJB Node Right Click and Select EJB � New Entites from Table (JPA/EJB3.0)
Use The Wizard and create Entity Bean from Users Table which creates an Entity Bea POJO file as follows �
User.java -
package lux.domain;
import java.io.Serializable;
import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.NamedQuery;
import javax.persistence.SequenceGenerator;
import javax.persistence.Table;
@Entity
@NamedQuery(name = "User.findAll", query = "select o from User o")
@Table(name = "USERS")
public class User implements Serializable {
@Column(name="FIRST_NAME")
private String firstName;
@Column(name="LAST_NAME")
private String lastName;
@Column(nullable = false)
private String password;
@Column(nullable = false)
private String username;
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.SEQUENCE, generator="users_seq_generator")
@SequenceGenerator(name="users_seq_generator", sequenceName="users_user_id_seq")
@Column(name="USER_ID", nullable = false)
private Long userId;
public User() {
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
public String getLastName() {
return lastName;
public void setLastName(String lastName) {
this.lastName = lastName;
public String getPassword() {
return password;
public void setPassword(String password) {
this.password = password;
public String getUsername() {
return username;
public void setUsername(String username) {
this.username = username;
public Long getUserId() {
return userId;
public void setUserId(Long userId) {
this.userId = userId;
Step 5: STATELESS SESSION BEAN - In the EJB Node Right Click and Select EJB � New Entites from Table (JPA/EJB3.0)
Again Right Click on Model and create Session Bean from Wizard which creates two files �
UserDAOBean.java � Stateless Session Bean
UserDAO.java � Local Interface
package lux.facade;
import java.security.MessageDigest;
import java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;
import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
import javax.persistence.PersistenceContext;
import javax.persistence.Query;
import lux.domain.User;
@Stateless(name="UserDAO")
public class UserDAOBean implements UserDAO {
@PersistenceContext(unitName="Model")
private EntityManager em;
public UserDAOBean() {
public User getUser(int UserId) {
User u = new User();
u = em.find(User.class, UserId);
return u;
public List<User> getAllUsers() {
Query q = em.createQuery("SELECT u FROM User u");
List<User> users = q.getResultList();
return users;
public void createUser(User u) {
String hashedPw = hashPassword(u.getPassword());
u.setPassword(hashedPw);
em.persist(u);
public void updateUser(User u) {
String hashedPw = hashPassword(u.getPassword());
u.setPassword(hashedPw);
em.merge(u);
public void deleteUser(User u) {
em.remove(u);
private String hashPassword(String password) {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
try {
MessageDigest messageDigest = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA");
byte[] bs;
bs = messageDigest.digest(password.getBytes());
for (int i = 0; i < bs.length; i++) {
String hexVal = Integer.toHexString(0xFF & bs);
if (hexVal.length() == 1) {
sb.append("0");
sb.append(hexVal);
} catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(UserDAOBean.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
return sb.toString();
Step 6: Create a Deployment file in the Model and Deploy this to a JAR file
Step 7: Now Right Click on View/Controller Node and create a Java File �
UserController.java -
package lux.controllers;
import javax.ejb.EJB;
import javax.faces.model.DataModel;
import javax.faces.model.ListDataModel;
import lux.domain.User;
import lux.facade.UserDAO;
public class UserController {
@EJB UserDAO userDao;
private User user;
private DataModel model;
public String createUser() {
this.user = new User();
return "create_new_user";
public String saveUser() {
String r = "success";
try {
userDao.createUser(user);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
r = "failed";
return r;
public DataModel getUsers() {
model = new ListDataModel(userDao.getAllUsers());
return model;
public User getUser() {
return user;
public void setUser(User user) {
this.user = user;
Step 8: Configure page flow in faces-config.xml
1. Create the JSP file adduser.jsp by right-clicking View-Controller
node and selecting New > JSP. Use the wizard to create JSF � JSP Page, fill in
File Name adduser.jsp, click Finish. -
<%@page contentType="text/html"%>
<%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%@taglib prefix="f" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"%>
<%@taglib prefix="h" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"%>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>New user</title>
</head>
<body>
<f:view>
<h:form>
<h:messages/>
<h:panelGrid columns="2">
<h:outputText value="Username"/>
<h:inputText
id="Username"
value="#{user.user.username}"
required="true"/>
<h:outputText value="First name"/>
<h:inputText
id="FirstName"
value="#{user.user.firstName}" />
<h:outputText value="Last name"/>
<h:inputText
id="LastName"
value="#{user.user.lastName}" />
<h:outputText value="Password" />
<h:inputSecret
id="Password"
value="#{user.user.password}"
required="true" />
<h:panelGroup/>
<h:commandButton
action="#{user.saveUser}"
value="Save"/>
</h:panelGrid>
</h:form>
</f:view>
</body>
</html>
2. Repeat the previous step for another JSP file failed.jsp.
3. On failed.jsp add the string
Save failed
Next we configure the page flow.
1. Open faces-config.xml.
2. Create index.jsp -
<%@page contentType="text/html"%>
<%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%@taglib prefix="f" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"%>
<%@taglib prefix="h" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"%>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>User Listing</title>
</head>
<body>
<f:view>
<h:form>
<h:outputText value="User Listing"/>
<h:commandLink action="#{user.createUser}" value="Create a user"/>
<h:dataTable value="#{user.user}"
var="dataTableItem" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Username"/>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{dataTableItem.username}" />
</h:column>
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="First name"/>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{dataTableItem.firstName}" />
</h:column>
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Last name"/>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{dataTableItem.lastName}" />
</h:column>
</h:dataTable>
</h:form>
</f:view>
</body>
</html>
3. Drag an arrow from index.jsp to adduser.jsp and replace the arrow�s label to create_new_user.
4. Repeat the previous step for failed, by dragging and arrow from adduser.jsp to failed.jsp renaming the label to f
ailed
5. Finally repeat the step for adduser.jsp, by dragging from adduser.jsp to index.jsp renaming the label to success.
This creates the following faces-config.xml file �
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<faces-config>
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>user</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>lux.controllers.UserController</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
<managed-property>
<property-name>username</property-name>
<value>#{username}</value>
</managed-property>
<managed-property>
<property-name>firstName</property-name>
<value>#{firstName}</value>
</managed-property>
<managed-property>
<property-name>lastName</property-name>
<value>#{lastName}</value>
</managed-property>
<managed-property>
<property-name>password</property-name>
<value>#{password}</value>
</managed-property>
</managed-bean>
<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>/index.jsp</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>create_new_user</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/adduser.jsp</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
<navigation-rule>

<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>success</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/index.jsp</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
</faces-config>
Step 9: Create a Deployment file in the View-Controller and Deploy this to a WAR file
Step 10: Create a Deployment file in the View-Controller and create an EAR file and add Model�s JAR and View-Controller�s
WAR files to it.
Step 11: Run the JSP Files
SCENARIO END
Now, When I execute Index.jsp, it does not list values from database and when I click on Create User link, it takes me to adduser.jsp page. When I fill values in this page and click Save button, it takes me to Save Failed page and data does not persist to the database.
WHAT IS WRONG OUT HERE ???

If you set a breakpoint in your createUser method - does this code get executed?
We have a couple of tutorials that might show you how to do this.

I am in Muse 2014.3. When I edit a page, in the preview everything looks fine, but when I upload it to FTP, the page does not change, even when I upload the whole site. Is this a bug? I don't know what to do.

I am in Muse 2014.3. When I edit a page, in the preview everything looks fine, but when I upload it to FTP, the page does not change, even when I upload the whole site. Is this a bug? I don't know what to do.

Hi Jaap,
Are you sure about your FTP credentials (FTP folder and site URL) that you are using for the upload? Are you able to see the updated files in the remote directory of the FTP server, after you finish uploading the muse file, using an external FTP client like FileZilla?
Thanks

I do not manage to find the function to change a letter into exposing. I have MUSE DC 2014.2 and the menu does not display this possibility. I tried to import it IN design but that does not function either?

I'm not clear on exactly what it is you're asking, but if you're referring to changing opacity, you can change the opacity setting for the States of a menu item via the States panel and Control Strip.

Hitting F11 in the form does not change the colour to blue

Hi All,
Hitting F11 in the form does not change the colour of the queryable fields to blue. Those fields remain white in color. The query functionality is working properly. The problem is only with the color not changing to blue. Is there any form property that needs to be checked? Other forms in this instance are working as expected.
Thanks in Advance

F11 is not generally thought of as the key to make fields blue, is it? Are you using E-Business Suite? If so you should probably ask this question in the apps Forum: General EBS Discussion

What do you mean 'does not ship unless he closed' ? What are you trying to do with your iPad, and what happens when you do it ?
If your computer's iTunes isn't recognising the iPad then do you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer ?

I am having issues with adjusting the duration of time for each still frame and transition in imovie 11. Each time that I adjust these times, the app does not accept the change, and automatically enters its own time. Am I doing something wrong?

I am having issues with adjusting the duration of time for each still frame and transition in imovie 11. Each time that I adjust these times, the application does not accept the change, and instead automatically enters its own time. Is there a work around this? Or am I doing something wrong? Please Help!
Thank you,
lagrl

Have you tried turning off automatic transitions ? Choose file - project properties and follow the dialogue box to change duration with a slider. iMovie also doesn't allow a transition to be more than 50% duration of the clip its attached to. In other words if the clip is 4 seconds the transition cannot be more than 2 seconds and remember that relates to the first clip as the following clip (right side) is pulled back to overlay it.
Does this help. Perhaps you already know this ?

I'm using windows 7, trying to download pictures from my canon 5d mark 2, but when I click import, the camera does not appear. I've tried changing USB ports, switching the camera on and off, trying a different USB cord, tried a different camera, but nothing. Please help! This problem only started a few days ago on lightroom 3.6, upgraded to 5.5, but still not working. Thanks.

Can you see the Canon EOS camera and image files using Windows Explorer? If not disconnect the camera, close all applications' shutdown Windows, and TURN OFF the power to your system and ALL connected devices. Disconnect all phones, iPads, and any other USB devices and restart your system.
Retry Windows Explorer and see if your camera is showing. If so try LR import again.
