Contribute CS3 Client breaks the server XML

Well, I have found an interesting problem with the cthub XML
file that is stored in the "_mm" directory in the root folder of
your websites being administered by Contribute.
As you are no doubt aware, when at least one admin upgrades
to Contribute 4 or Contribute CS3 (aka 4.1) all the admins have to
since there are upgrades made to the XML files that control the
site. Well it appears that this upgrade makes the cthub file
non-valid XML.
Take a look at this file and look for the tag "font_use_css"
inside the "group_list_item" child node of the "group_list" node.
In a copy of the cthub file that was upgraded you will find that
this standalone tag is missing the appropriate closing slash. If
you compare this against a copy of the cthub file from before the
upgrade, assuming you made a backup, you will find that the tag is
properly closed.
Since this file is the master file with all of the role
information for the site, I wonder if this XML error is causing
unknown instability in the system somewhere.

I'm having the very same issue. Very frustrating. Support had me uninstall and reinstall. That did not wor
k, Then they had me uninstall and reinstall as a trial. That did not work. Very umimpressed with Adobe
products and support.
Anyone have a solution to this issue. I'm at the end of my rope.

Contribute Cannot Connect to the Server

I am using a windows XP Pro computer, and have been using Contribute CS3 for over a year. About 3 weeks ago, I started getting the message, when I tried to connect to our website, which is hosted by a 3rd party, I got the following message: Contribute Cannot connect to the server. Please check your connection information of contact your administrator. Our connection type is SFTP.
I could not connect on my work pc, so I installed Contribute CS4 on my home computer and could not connect either. I also got our website developer to try and connect, and they could no longer connect as well. As our website host has assured us that no changes have been made on their system, I did a fresh install of a trial Contribute CS4 on a brand new computer (XP Pro) and this time was successful at making a connection.
If anyone has any ideas why the other 3 computers could not connect to the website, that would be appreciated.
Thanks

Async tcp client and server. How can I determine that the client or the server is no longer available?

Hello. I would like to write async tcp client and server. I wrote this code but a have a problem, when I call the disconnect method on client or stop method on server. I can't identify that the client or the server is no longer connected.
I thought I will get an exception if the client or the server is not available but this is not happening.
private async void Process()
try
while (true)
var data = await this.Receive();
this.NewMessage.SafeInvoke(Encoding.ASCII.GetString(data));

Hi,
Have you debug these two applications? Does it go into the catch exception block when you close the client or the server?
According to my test, it will throw an exception when the client or the server is closed, just log the exception message in the catch block and then you'll get it:
private async void Process()
try
while (true)
var data = await this.Receive();
this.NewMessage.Invoke(Encoding.ASCII.GetString(data));
catch (Exception exception)
Console.WriteLine(exception.Message);
Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
By the way, I don't know what the SafeInvoke method is, it may be an extension method, right? I used Invoke instead to test it.

Sending a certificate form the client to the server... how to ?

how can I send a certificate from the client to the server trough a Java code ??

Short answer: You specify a keyStore.
Either via command line using the -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=keystorefile property,
or in Java code:
char[] passphrase = "password".toCharArray();
SSLContext ctx = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS", "SunJSSE");
// KeyStore for the SSL client certificate
KeyStore keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance("PKCS12");
keyStore.load(new FileInputStream("client-cert.p12"), passphrase);
KeyManagerFactory keyManagerFactory = KeyManagerFactory.getInstance("SunX509", "SunJSSE");
keyManagerFactory.init(keyStore, passphrase);
// keyStore for trusted server certs or CAs
KeyStore trustedKeyStore = KeyStore.getInstance("JKS");
trustedKeyStore.load(new FileInputStream("verisign-test-cert"), passphrase);
TrustManagerFactory trustManagerFactory = TrustManagerFactory.getInstance("SunX509", "SunJSSE");
trustManagerFactory.init(trustedKeyStore);
ctx.init(keyManagerFactory.getKeyManagers(), trustManagerFactory.getTrustManagers(), null);
SSLSocketFactory sslSocketFactory = ctx.getSocketFactory();
HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultSSLSocketFactory(sslSocketFactory);
// open the http connection to the party
myConn = (HttpsURLConnection)myURL.openConnection();

Generated either client or the server

which logs can be generated either client or the server?

I must be having a déjà vu... No, wait... you have posted this before:
logs can be generated

I have a similar chat application. When the user attempts to connect, instead of sending a simple string, the client sends a serialized object(xml string) with all relevant login and session information, this includes the user's IP address. Once the server
receives said information, depending on the type of TCP broadcast (a custom enumerated type) information from one user may be passed to a single user, or distributed to many users.
If it helps, here is the TCPBroadcast object I use. But in order for your server to understand it, you kind of have to build your server and client somewhat around it.

How to automate accept client of the server side?

Hi.....
I am a beginner of using J2ME to developing my final year project. I have some problem of using bluetooth packet. I can't accept again the client message when the server accepted before. Any one can solve my problem? How can I using the loop or timer to accept the client message without using acceptAndOpen() packet? Thank a lot.....
The sample code is here:
- Server side
public class BluetoothServer implements Runnable {
     private GameMIDlet gameMIDlet;
     private HandleSetting setting;

This question isn't logical at all. You don't execute javascript on the server. But if you want to waste time on it. .. look at Rhino http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/
Best of luck...

Monitoring an applet on a thin client from the server

Hello all,
I'm not even sure if this is possible or not, but here is what I would like to do.
I want to be able to monitor an applet running on a remote thin client device from the central server to determine if there have been any problems (exceptions, device failures, etc).
I'll be using java 1.5.0. If you require more info please let me know.
Thanks,

But would anyone know if there is a similar method for applets?
What makes you think you can't use that technique in an applet? Use that, and contact the server when there's an uncaught exception.
You'll probably want to report a number of caught exceptions too (unless you're really bad at handling exceptions).
Best bet is to use a utility class on your applet with a method like "logError(Throwable t, String message)" which will send the details up to the server, maybe output to the console, maybe even pop up a dialog. If you did this via an interface you could plug in different implementations and compound them if required.

How is the dsame client find the server ?

Hi,
manager = SSOTokenManager.getInstance();
token = Manager.createSSOToken(new AuthPrincipal("uid=amAdmin,ou=administrators,ou=topologymanagement,o=netscaperoot"), "abcdefg123");
amConn = new AMStoreConnection(Token);
I have above code fragment in a standalone Java application. The Java client could not find the server. I could not use Httprequest to get the server infomation. I tried token.setproperty("hostname",dsame. wad.com.au);
tolen.setproperty("port",58080);
But this doesn't help.
Thanks in advance!!
Ravi

Please ignore the syntex errors in above code.

Non Leopard client accessing the server

I have one machine in our office, a G5, that is not running snow leopard since it is not an intel machine. How do I configure that machine to join the server? All the other machines were done with login items in the account section, but that isn't available.

You should be able to use the Directory Utility, located in the /Applications/Utilities folder to manually bind to the Snow Leopard server.

2 Oracle Clients in the server

Guys,
we have a server which has an Oracle 8.1.7 installed. Since we developed a new .net application that requires Oracle 9iR2 Client, we have to install an Oracle 9iR2 also on the same machine. However, we are having problems executing stored procs that has an out parameter particulary with a clob datatype. I assume that the .net is still using the old oledb drivers of 8.1.7 instead of 9iR2. What should we do?

I have a somewhat similar issue. I think your assumption may be wrong though:
"However, because the Oracle Provider for OLE DB is a COM component, only one instance can be active at a time. This means that a later OLE DB installation will render the previous one inactive."

& in url breaks server.xml

I need to enter this url as my jdbc url in a <value> tag:-
jdbc:mysql://localhost/mydatabase?autoReconnect=true&autoReconnectForPools=true
but the & in the url breaks the server parsing the xml file.
How can I add this ?
tomcat 5.0.16

Not only that, you are really supposed to escape the & character when you put that URL into an HTML file as well. The only difference is that XML doesn't allow malformed input whereas HTML accepts anything and tries to make something useful out of it.

Create the missing server.xml files yourself

Paula and I created the missing server.xml files ourselves. The script is at the bottom of the post.
We badly needed the missing server.xml files to work on the customizations and Oracle was unable to solve this problem.
"I checked on our Automated Release Updates System found that we dont have server.xml that includes PosDelivSchedVO. This confirms that there is no patch available at present to provide you with this file.
As this is not related to coding issue,Support will not be able to log a bug with Development. You may log an Enhancement Request via Metalink, so that Development would review your requirement and if feasible would include this file at the time of future releases"

# This script is used to generate the missing server.xml files for $JAVA_TOP/oracle/apps/pos
# Usage: server.sh
# Note: This script has many hardcoded codes and it may generate the wrong server.xml.
# The manual fixes to the generated server.xml may be need.
# Check the codes before you use it.
# It's possible to write a generic version of this script to deal with more issues, like
# 1. dealing with the Oracle apps patches applied
# 2. only generates the missing server.xml files automatically
# 3. can specify the module, like pos or po ..., to generate server.xml.
# 4. including only the OA Framework objects used.
# 5. correctly generate the right "encoding"

We loaded the Oracle seeded BC4J components from mid-tier file system to jdev OA Framework using the server.xml files generated by our Unix script attached in the privious posting above. We ,then did the customizations and successfully deployed them to our test Oracle apps.

Where in my server.xml should i put

I don't think you should have to edit the server.xml
at all. your app can have its own context.xml that
obviates the need for editing server.xml
%I did try that in many permutations. For some reason, the server.xml worked for me in 5.5 but not the context.xml. (Granted, it was late on Friday and I might have missed a step). :^)
