Complete newbie questions

Hi,
I am completely a beginner and want to understand some terms about J2EE.
1. In Tomcat 4, it uses Catalina as servlet container. But, what is ANT? When and how should be used?
2. I am using tomcat 4, do I still need to install the implementations of the J2EE platform in http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/download-beta2.html ? It seems it is an application server only like weblogic or jboss.
Thanks for advice

Yes, JBuilder can call Ant directly, so you don't have to use command line. You just need to open build-ant.xml and you'll see little ant on this tab.. Press run, and that's it!
If you want to use something other than Tomcat on JBuilder, go to Tools->Configure Servers. There you'll find list of servers that JBuilder supports and run. If your app server have another JDK, this JDK will be noticed in JBuilder as another installation of JDK. Everytime you select this server as server that runs project, JBuilder selects another JDK.
I didn't develop anything with this app server you have downloaded, but all other app servers are not free (BES,WebSphere,WebLogic). If you have trouble connecting this app server to JBuilder, try to ask on borland newsgroups...

Answer: to the bottom line. Where is it? I get really confused about this - is it on the far right hand side?
What if I have several browser windows open? How do I browse between the windows?
I press X on the top left, but this doesnt close the application, it just seems to be minimised??
I've discovered that if I hit 'Apple Key + Q' that closes properly - is there no way to close via the mouse?

Complete newbie question - Can BI consume web services?

Post Author: Steve Lamont
CA Forum: Data Integration
I am working on a new client site working on integration between a whole slew of systems including CRM, billing, BI etc. The client is architecting a SOA oriented approach to all integration where it make sense. As part of the effort, a new BI database is being built and loaded via some ETL tool. The primary interface to access this new BI data will be business objects (BO). Now, in the current environments, there are multiple, disparate BI systems containing various data. The BO knowledge person (and he is not a business object employee) on this site is claiming that to access these other BI databases, he wants to do it by sending out requests via service calls. I fully understand that BO itself can be set up to be a service provider and provide services for other consumers to take advantage of, but how does BO itself consume services provided by other applications?
Obviously I don't fully understand BO, but my initial inclination is that this approach is wrong. If data is required from these other BI source, wouldn't they be configured as data sources within business objects? This BO guy claims that calling web services is more efficient that direct peer-to-peer calls via the database drivers.
Can any share some comments on this situation?

You posted your question to the wrong forum, please try to post it to one of the subforums in "Enterprise Reporting, Query & Analysis".
This forum is about Data Integrator, Business Objects ETL tool.
I'll try to answer your question anyway with my reporting background From what I know, YES we can consume web services in reports (Crystal reports), but for larger volumes of data a direct access to the database would be faster. A webservice approach might make sense if the webservice implements some business logic (semantic layer) which would be easier then to go directly to the tables.
And just for the record : also Data Integrator can consumer web services...

Adding stop points; complete newbie question

I like to download lectures from the internet. they come in as one long file. If I take them into Garageband can I add stop points every 10 minutes or so? I want to be able to make a CD with those stop points so it is easier to go back and forth to different points in the lecture.
Richard

you can add markers by showing the podcast track, then when you burn it to CD with GB you'll be able to jump to the different points.
(for more info search for "marker" in GB's help")

Complete newbie question

Hi guys - first post in these forums.
I've just got my first mac and Panasonic HDC-SD5 camcorder. I cannot do anything with the video files. iPhoto recognises a device and imports the photos but none of the video. I can browse the camcorder structure in finder.
Any help appreciated

Never mind the previous post. The Panasonic HDC-SD5 connects via USB and does not even have Firewire. I have this camera and it works well. Try the following...
1) Make sure your camera is attached to the external power supply...not the batteries.
2) Start iMovie
3) Connect the USB cable to your Mac (or to a powered USB hub)
4) Turn on the Camcorder to the Green "Playback" setting. Make sure the LCD screen is open.
5) On the LCD screen, you should have a choice of "PictBridge" or "Connect to PC". Select "Connect to PC"
6) Now iMovie 08 should recognize the camera and bring up the import screen. You can import automatically or manually select which clips to import.
7) When you are done, be sure to eject the camera in the finder and disconnect the USB cable before shutting down the camera.
One more thing... If it is a brand new Mac, make sure you have run Software Update. The iMovie should be at version 7.1. You can check this in the iMovie/About drop down menu.

Photograph resolution [complete newbie] question

I don't think I'm quite "getting the concept," as they say. The presentations I'm planning to give are photographic, to groups of 10 to 50+ people (in rooms that fit as many). My company has a 2007 projector, 2000 lumens, 800x600 native resolution.
I'm so used to the idea that a larger [print] image requires higher resolution for best results. So, if I have a digital photograph that measures, say 3872x2592, and file size is reduced to 800x600 to match the projector's native resolution, won't the resulting image when spread on an 8 foot screen from 30 feet be anything BUT clear?
Thanks for your guidance.

Depends on the photos. Until YOU see it projected YOU wno't know if it's good enough.
If you'd like to see an example of what 800x600 looks like, open the Display settings in System Preferences, click Scaled, and pick 800x600.

Total Newbie Question ... Sorry :-(

I know it's a windows thing, and I am now converted to Mac but I gotta know this because it's doing my head in. It's a complete stupid green gilled newbie question.
When installing new programs on a Mac can you create shortcuts to the programs on the Dock? I did what I THOUGHT it would be, i.e I made an Alias and stuck it in the dock, but on rebooting my Mac later on, in place of the shortcuts where 3 question marks which when clicked on did absolutely nothing???
Help?

You aren't installing something from a dmg file are you? The dmg is a disk image – kind of a virtual CD. So when you double click the dmg and then get the little disk/hardrive/custom icon on your desktop that is the same as if you had mounted a CD. You then need to drag the application off of that "CD" into your application folder. Then it is truly installed.
You can then "eject" the icon your your desktop. This is what happens when you shutdown and without remounting the image your dock shortcut can't find the original.
Just a thought.

Domain Name settings in Solaris - Newbie question

Sorry for a newbie question!
I am already pointing a domain name to web hosting for email account. Now, I need an application server to run ERP software and Oracle, and installing Solaris and Oracle need a domain name.
If I point my domain name to the server, how do I receive emails from web hosting???
Install an email server to the application server instead? What can I do if I want the same domain name?

Your questions are completely off-topic for the forum.
These SunOS forums are for questions on <i>"how do I install my OS"</i>
You particular question is in the <i>"how can I install Solaris while using the CD drive"</i> forum.
So, if you had a question on how to edit the /etc/inet/hosts file to establish a FQDN on the computer, then it might be appropriate for the forum.
Unfortunately, I don't have a clue on where to redirect you, except perhaps to the Sun Java Enterprise System suite of applications?

SG200-08 Newbie Questions

I have recently purchased the SG200-08 Smart Switch, but I have a few "newbie questions" about it as I get started using it.
The on board firmware shows 1.0.1.0. Is that the latest firmware to the switch?
Do I need to enable IPv6 Auto Configuration and DCHPv6 in my switch settings to be ready for IPv6 as my ISP rolls it out down the road?
How do I go about changing the switch's username? I was able to easily change the password, but having issues getting the username to change.
Do I need to do anything about the LLDP-MED settings? What exactly is that?
How do I confugure the System Time Settings so the switch functions in my time zone (USA Central Time)?
Thanks a bunch for any assistance!

Hi Nathan,
My guess is that NAT is already on - you have one public IP address from your ISP. Your router will use NAT (network address translation) to allow multiple clients (and either dynamically assign them private IPs via dhcp or you set them statically) to connect to the internet using the one public IP. It also sounds like your RV042G is assigning both ipv6 and ipv4 addresses, and theres nothing wrong with that. Unless you have specific information re: ipv6 from your isp, however, I would suggest not worrying about it until you hear from them. Are your macs connected to the router via the SG200 switch? If so, it looks like its passing ipv6 just fine. UPnP is something completely different - thats with opening ports like you mentioned - its a way that your devices can communicate with the router to automatically enable the proper port forwarding for the device/application.
Regarding the username, create a new user account. I don't think you can edit the cisco user, but try deleting it after creating and testing a new user account..
I'm not familiar with the Polycom system, but I would leave the settings as default unless you are using true IP phones (rather than an ATA adapter). From a quick google of the polycom device, I don't think you will gain anything from LLDP/CDP as the handsets use regular cordless phone freqs. With my setup, we use cisco IP desk phones and cordless wifi phones, CDP makes life easy as the cisco access point, wifi phones, cisco switch, and cisco desk phones (connected via ethernet) see each other and know what they're dealing with automatically.
I don't see the SNTP setting for unicast / broadcast that you're looking at. For the switch to get the time from a sntp server, under administration -> time -> sntp settings, add a server, and then back on time-> system time, enable sntp server as the main clock source. What are you using as your sntp source? Do you have an internal sntp server? You don't need to enable dhcp on the sntp server.
May I also point you to the two manuals, I think they may be helpful: RV042G & SG200
Hope thats helpful.
Best,
David

Newb Question for burning DVD/CDs

I have an external DVD writer on my iMac.
I got the thing last month and an completely new to Apple (sorta)
Now how do I make a data CD and DVD?
On Winblows XP all I need to do is select the files, right click and click on SEND FILES TO CD for making data CDs.
However for DVD I need 3rd party software.
Will iDVD do the trick?
Thanks for the looking at this simple newb question.
GeekyBoy

Now how do I make a data CD and
DVD?Drag the files to the icon of the
blank CD/DVD that appears in the
Finder.However for DVD I need 3rd party
software.You might want to try Patc
hBurn.Will iDVD do the
trick?No, iDVD is only for making video
DVDs and it requires a G4 processor.
Thanks for the tip Duane.
I was just reading abotu burning CD on another site. It mentions about what you said, drag the files to the CD.
However I am reading in my profiler that burning is NOT supported by OS X on this CD/DVD writer.
Will Patchburn or any other software overcome this?
Thanks

MailServer Newbie Question..

So my first time i setup a Mail Server with Mac OS X Server.
Everything works like a charme. I can send and receive emails internally. That means
i can send and receive emails from mac to pc and vice versa. Now my question.
How do I setup the Server to catch my external eMail adresses and send it to my internal account.
And how do I setup to send throw my server to the rest of the world without getting banned and
blacklisted
I how someone can write a small tutorial for me or can post a link for this newbie question.
Thanx in advance..
mike
P.S.: Sorry for my bad English. But I am from Germany

how to configure the server to accept mail for my own domain ?
Any domain you want to receive mail for goes into the Local Host Aliases pane (in Advanced-> Hosting tab). However, you said that you can already send and receive internally so presumably you have it set up for a domain already? If this is not the same domain as you want to use, just change whatever settings you are using to your real domain. You can then test sending and receiving internally for your own domain but without changing your external (public) mail provider. When you are ready to change your outside mail server for your own one, get the public MX record changed so that all external mail starts getting directed to your own server.
how to get the public DNS record (MX Record)
If you have a 'real' domain then someone is hosting your DNS for that domain. THis is probably whoever you bought the domain from. You need to get them to change your MX record (or the IP address for the host name record which the MX points to - see my first post).
Is it really impossible to catch the external email-accounts with the server via pop.
my idea behind that is to synchronize the external email accounts with the email accounts on the server..
I have never really looked into getting a mail server to use a pop download from another external mail server - it may be possible by manual configuration but it never made sense to me. Why have two mail servers in a 'chain'? Basically, the public will see only one server responsible for your mail (via MX record) - you have to decide whether you want to leave this with your external provider or take the responsibility yourself.
Your configuration for the incoming mail seems to me like you would change the
external email server completely to my internal server.. right ??
Correct. Once the public MX record is changed then all other mail servers will send to your server and not your current provider. You can always revert back by changing the MX record back to your existing provider (as long as your account is still open).

Newbie Question about FM 8 and Acrobat Pro 9

Hello:
I have some dcouments that I've written in FM v8.0p277. I print them to PDF so that I can have a copy to include on a CD and I also print some hard copies.
My newbie question is whether there is a way to create a PDF for hard copy where I mainitain the colors in photos and figures but that the text that is hyperlinked doesn't appear as blue. I want to keep the links live within the soft copy. Is there something I can change within Frame or with Acrobat?
TIA,
Kimberly

Kimberly,
How comes the text is blue in the first place? I guess the cross-reference formats use some character format which makes them blue? There are many options:
Temporarily change the color definition for the color used in the cross-reference format to black.
Temporarily change the character format to not use that color.
Temporarily change the cross-reference definition to not used that character format.
Whichever method you choose, I would create a separate document with the changed format setting and import those format into your book, create the PDF and then import the same format from the official template.

Newbie Question - what do i need ?

Hi ... I am an animator and I want to write a soundtrack for my demo reel. I do have some musical background and would like to restart my interest in composing music. Should I go for logic express or just use garage band ? If i stick with garage band I need to get that symphony jam pack. Is there anything similar for logic. I am a complete newb to all of this. I guess i don;t really know what I need. I was thinking a USB midi keyboard, logic express and some kind of sample add-on.
Thanks everyone !

oh yeah ... i was also wondering if express has all the quantization tools that pro has. thanks =).

Domain name settings - Newbie question

Sorry for a newbie question!
I am already pointing a domain name to web hosting for email account. Now, I need an application server to run ERP software and Oracle, and installing Solaris and Oracle need a domain name.
If I point my domain name to the server, how do I receive emails from web hosting???
Install an email server to the application server instead? What can I do if I want the same domain name? Any option?

Setting up a mailserver and making sure it doesn't suddenly turn into a spambox is not something you do with the use of a few commands. I suggest to dive into the Solaris admin guide on docs.sun.com and read up on e-mail and network services.
If that is asking too much of your time you'll be better off getting your ISP to handle all this for you.
