Custom Component Creates Unicode Files instead of UTF-8

We have a custom component running in our SAP Enterprise Portal. The component creates a XML Outputfile encoded in UTF-8 since we force the component to so so. In the environment we're using right now, the output is in Unicode, which is obviously wrong. In what way can we amend the settings of our WebAs to switch the output format to unicode? Where/with what means do we have to do that?
We are using Enterprise Portal 6.0 SP2, therefore WebAS 6.2.

Alexander,
Were you able to find the answer to your question? I am experiencing the same issue and need to know how to create an XML output file in UTF-8 encoding.
Thanks,
Shannon

How do you reference a valueObject located in main to a custom component created in Catalyst?

Hello,
I have been working with the Catalyst Beta 2 / Flash Builder beta trying to create a photogallery and have hit a little bit of a snag, try as I might I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. I am still new to Flex so please excuse me if this is a basic question, I have been trying to understand more about Flex to make my designs in Catalyst better.
I found this video on Adobe TV: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/rich-internet-applications-101/ria-stepbystep-16-binding-a-data- service-to-flash-builder-components/
It's wonderful and I have the datalist I created in Catalyst working with the XML file I generated but I designed my little photogallery a bit diffrent, I created a Custom Component in Catalyst so that when you click an item on the DataList it pop's up a little screen with a larger photo in on it, rather then having an image in the main application. Now my problem seems to be that I can't refrence the valueObject I created with the wizard as it's in my Main.mxml file, is there a way to refrence it from my Custom Component so the larger image will display? Is there a way to let the component know which item on the dataList in the main application is selected and display the correct image?
I should also say I really enjoy working with the Beta for both Flash Builder / Catalyst, thanks for the hard work!
Thanks for the help,
Chris

I am afraid you cannot bind to static properties in Windows Store Apps. It is simply not supported.
You could create a proxy class that exposes the static command property and bind to this property of an instance of the proxy object:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4708711/how-can-i-use-the-xstatic-extension-for-phone7-silverlight-apps
You will of course have to create an instance of the proxy object. There is no way around this.

In principle you can't. LabVIEW does not support Unicode (yet)! When it will officially support that is a question that I can't answer since I don't know it and as far as I know NI doesn't want to answer.
So the real question you have to ask first is where and why do you want to read and write Unicode file. And what type of Unicode? Unicode is definitly not just Unicode as Windows has a different notion of Unicode (16 Bit characters) than Unix has (32 Bit characters). The 16 Bit Unicode from Windows is able to cover most languages on this globe but definitly not all without code expansion techniques.
If you want to do this on Windows and have decided that there is no other way to do what you want you will probably have to access the WideCharToMultiByte() and MultibyteToWideChar() Windows APIs using the Call Library Node in order to convert between 8 bit multybyte strings as used in LabVIEW and the Unicode format necessary in your file.

Image Capture creating zip files instead of regular files

I've been using Image Capture for many years. For some reason, all of a sudden, all my scans are being put into a zip file instead of as a regular file. I'd like to have Image Capture make regular files again such as pdf etc. What do I do?
Does this have anything to do with going to OS Yosemite 10.10?

Hi
appzapper & such are pretty flaky at removing things usefully, imo.
Use the uninstaller for speed download - http://www.yazsoft.com/products/speed-download/faqs/?how-to-un-install-speed-dow nload-properly
or get a hold of FindAnyFile or easyfind & search for Growl & Speeddownload & yazsoft - but from all I hear, the uninstaller works fine.
Failing that, Safari's settings plist file isn't in caches
Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.safari.plist
is the place
& if you're still stuck, test & maybe download another browser using a New User Account.

Muse creates .php files instead .html files when directly uploaded on host in program

When i use reCaptcha in Adobe Muse it creates index.php files when i click upload on ftp host. If i export it as html, then it works correctly.
For my own Website it's not a problem (Hoststar.ch), but it appears to be a problem for other hosting providers (Genotec.ch).
Also if there is a .htdocs file in the folder im exporting it to, it writes a "Muse Generated redirects", but it still won't for Genotec.ch.
If there is no .htdocs file in the folder, it also won't create one.
Is that problem fixable or what do i need to do?

Hi,
Adobe Muse does not generates .htdocs file. Did you check it with your host, if it is available for you on the server?

When downloading from internet on mac x creates .part file instead of a normal file

safari works ok

On Windows I usually get two files: a placeholder for the real name and then the .part file which grows during the download and then disappears when it is complete.
Maybe try changing the location where you save downloads, it's on the General tabs of the Preferences dialog. If you normally use "Always ask me where to save," you have to change that temporarily in order to access the directory setting. Perhaps that will sort out Firefox's internal settings.

Custom Component Error -- Uggh

I have tried to solve the problem using online resouces, 3rd party message boards, Xcelsius tutorials, the textbook "Xcelsius 2008: Dashboard Best Practices", tutorials which came with the Xcelsius SDK, among others, however, I continue to run into problems. Additionally, I am have tried to fix by reading the Flex 3 SDK, Xcelsius 2008 SDK, and the samples for Xcelsius/Flex which came bundled in the SDK.
The problem is that the custom component, created in Flex 3 Hotfix and brought into Xcelsius using the Add-on Packager and the Add-on Manager does not display on the canvas. While all of the inherent components in Xcelsius work correctly the custom component does not display. When dropped on the canvas it simply disappears and never instatiates on the canvas and also is not listed inside the object browser. The custom component is, however, listed in the vertical menu under the category Add-Ons.
Example:
1. I use a sample Flex project which was included in the Xcelsius SDK and bring it into Flex 3 builder.
2. I configure the project to run appropriately in my local environment
3. I build the project successfully.
4. I open the Xcelsius Add-on Packager
4a. In the GENERAL tab I give the package a name
4b. In the VISUAL tab I type the name of the class (i.e. com.business.dept.project )
4c. In the VISUAL tab I type the display name (i.e. Email Component)
4d. In the VISUAL tab I type the directory location of the .swf (i.e. C:\Xcelsius\Flex\Project\Email\emailcomponent.swf )
4e. In the VISUAL tab I type the directory location of the property sheet (i.e. C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Xcelsius\SDK\bin\propertyinspector.swc )
4f. In the BUILD tab I build the component sucessfully
5. I open Xcelsius and go to File -- Manage Add-Ons
6. I add the new emailcomponent.xlx file to the Add-on Manager and select Close
7. I exit Xcelsius and reopen Xcelsius
8. The new component is listed in the vertical menu under Components -- Add-Ons
9. I test the function of inherent objects and drag a pie chart successfully onto the canvas of Xcelsius
10. I drag my new component onto the canvas, and while there is a visible border outline of the object as I drag over the canvas, when I drop the component onto the canvas the object does NOT appear on the canvas.
11. I re-test another inherent componet in Xcelsius which works fine
12. I re-test my component with the same failure.
Thank you for the assistance in advance.
Alex Dove

I have successfully created a Flex component in Xcelsius. The data is static and hard coded into the Flex component which is not ideal, but it certainly is a step in the right direction.
My steps were as follows:
1. Create a new Flex project
2. Create a new Flex component and save it into the class namespace directory I was planning on using
3. Include all of the MXML logic for the application in the component file
4. Reference the component file in the Application file as a namespace reference
5. Save the file
6. Create an .xlx file using the Xcelsius Add-on Packager
7. Typing the class namespace location using the entire path and file name without the extension
8. Loading the new component into Xcelsius
9. Building the app.
Success.
Thank you for all the help
Alex Dove

How do I duplicate a custom component w/minor change?

I want to use the same custom component created in Flex in Xcelsius with a slight modification from the original, but the Add on Manager is saying it is a duplicate. What do I need to change in the code to resolve this?

i was always having the same issue before
1. change the class name into the Flex Code
2. DONT copy paste the Add on Manager FIle, XLP,,, you have to create a new one :)... this is the idea
3. give a new name into the Add on Manager.
thanks

How to use a flex custom component in an AS3 Class?

Our software team has been developing flash applications using AS3 (via the FlashDevelop IDE and the free Flex SDK). Recently, some members of the team started exploring FlexBuilder and Flex (wow... why did we wait so long?). The problem is that some folks continue to develop using pure Action Script 3 (FlashDevelop) while others are creating custom components in FlexBuilder.
How do the AS3 developers use the Flex Custom components built in FlexBuilder in their AS3 Applications?

SwapnilVJ,
Your suggestions enabled me to make progress, but I'm still having a problem. Based on you suggestion, I learned how to make a swc using Flex Builder. I successfully added the swc to the lib resource in my AS3 project (FlashDevelop). I was able to instantiate one of my new components (code hinting even picked it up from the lib).
When I run my app, my component is not visible. I can trace properties of it and the values are correct. Any thought why I might not be seeing my custom component?
package trainer.games.board.MatchThree {
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class Test extends Sprite{
private var cp:MatchingGameControlPanel; // <<< this is my swc custom component created in Flex
public function Test() {
   cp = new MatchingGameControlPanel();
   cp.visible = true;
   addChild(cp);
   trace("width: ",cp.width); // <<< works and displays valid data for the component.

Creating a custom component in multisim using *.lib and *.olb files

i have *.lib and *.olb files for a pspice model. which file i have to you while creating a custom component in multisim.

Hello,
Thanks for your question. In order to create simulatable custom components in Multisim you need a SPICE model (Multisim can also understand PSpice Models). The file format for SPICE model can be different according to the manufacturer, for instance: *.cir, *.lib, *.llb. At the end of the day these files are text files that you can open with a text editor, therefore, you can simply copy and paste the model in Multisim.
Here are two good resources on component creation:
Component Creation 101
Creating a Custom Component in NI Multisim
When you reach the step where you need to enter the SPICE model, simply open the *.lib or *.olb file with a text editor, and copy and paste the model.
Hope this helps.

Creating an HtmlCommandLink in a Custom Component

Hi,
A simplified version of my problem is as follows: I have created a custom component that delegates to a renderer. Within the renderer I create an instance of the HtmlCommandLink class to which I want to assign an action with the setAction method. However, when I try doing this with the line:
link.setAction(Util.createConstantMethodBinding("success"));
The page renders but the link does not work.
or:
MethodBinding vb = context.getApplication().createMethodBinding("success", null);
link.setAction(vb);
I get an exception.
I have set the navigation rule in my faces-config file for "success".
I am new to JSF and so I might be doing something stupid or missing the point somehow but I want to be able to create HtmlCommandLinks within a custom class rather than from a tag on the page.
Any help appreciated,
Barney

can you please post your exception as well as your JSP page.
Thanks

Custom pipeline component creates the folder name to archive messages

Hi
I have an requirement that a BizTalk application is receiving untyped messages and at the receive location the pipeline have to archive the incoming message with the specifications:
suppose I have an xml like
<PurchaseOrder>
<OrderId>1001</OrderId>
<OrderSource>XYZ</OrderSource>
<Code>O01</Code>
</PartyType>
In the pipeline component it has to read this xml and have to use OrderSource value 'XYZ' to create a archival folder and the message have to archive with file name '%MessageId%'
It has to be done by writing custom pipeline component where I am not familiar with c# coding, Can anyone please how to implement mechanism.
Thanks In Advance

Hi Arun,
Use
BizTalk Server Pipeline Component Wizard to create a decode pipeline component for receive. Install this wizard. This shall help you to create the template project for your pipeline component stage.
Use the following code in the Execute method of the pipeline component code. This code archives the file based with name of the file name received.
public Microsoft.BizTalk.Message.Interop.IBaseMessage Execute(Microsoft.BizTalk.Component.Interop.IPipelineContext pc, Microsoft.BizTalk.Message.Interop.IBaseMessage inmsg)
MemoryStream tmpStream = new MemoryStream();
try
string strReceivedFilename = null;
DateTime d = DateTime.Now;
try
//Get the file name
strReceivedFilename = inmsg.Context.Read("ReceivedFileName", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2003/file-properties").ToString();
if (strReceivedFilename.Contains("\\"))
strReceivedFilename = strReceivedFilename.Substring(strReceivedFilename.LastIndexOf("\\") + 1, strReceivedFilename.Length - strReceivedFilename.LastIndexOf("\\") - 1);
catch
strReceivedFilename = System.Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
originalStream = inmsg.BodyPart.GetOriginalDataStream();
int readCount;
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
// Copy the entire stream into a tmpStream, so that it can be seakable.
while ((readCount = originalStream.Read(buffer, 0, 1024)) > 0)
tmpStream.Write(buffer, 0, readCount);
tmpStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
//ToDo for you..
//Access the receive message content using standard XPathReader to access values of OrderSource and construct file pathAccess the receive message content using standard XPathReader to acceess values of OrderSource and contruct the file path
string strFilePath = //Hold the value of the file path with the value of OrderSource
string strCurrentTime = d.ToString("HH_mm_ss.ffffff");
strFilePath += "\\" + strReceivedFilename + "_";
FileStream fileStream = null;
try
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1);
fileStream = new FileStream(strFilePath + strCurrentTime + ".dat", FileMode.CreateNew);
catch (System.IO.IOException e)
// Handle the exception, it must be 'File already exists error'
// Wait for 10ms, change the file name and try creating the file again
// If the second 'file create' also fails, it must be a genuine error, it'll be thrown to BTS engine
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(10);
strCurrentTime = d.ToString("HH_mm_ss.ffffff"); // get current time again
string dtcurrentTime = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-ddHH_mm_ss.ffffff");
fileStream = new FileStream(strFilePath + strCurrentTime + ".dat", FileMode.CreateNew);
while ((readCount = tmpStream.Read(buffer, 0, 1024)) > 0)
fileStream.Write(buffer, 0, readCount);
if (fileStream != null)
fileStream.Close();
fileStream.Dispose();
if (originalStream.CanSeek)
originalStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
else
ReadOnlySeekableStream seekableStream = new ReadOnlySeekableStream(originalStream);
seekableStream.Position = 0;
inmsg.BodyPart.Data = seekableStream;
tmpStream.Dispose();
catch (Exception ex)
System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("Archive Pipeline Error", string.Format("MessageArchiver failed: {0}", ex.Message));
finally
if (tmpStream != null)
tmpStream.Flush();
tmpStream.Close();
if (originalStream.CanSeek)
originalStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
return inmsg;
In the above code, you have do a section of code which will access the receive message content using standard XPathReader to access values of OrderSource and construct the file path. I have
commented the place where you have to do the same. You can read the XPathReader about here..http://blogs.msdn.com/b/momalek/archive/2011/12/21/streamed-xpath-extraction-using-hidden-biztalk-class-xpathreader.aspx

Create HTML file that can display unicode (japanese) characters

Hi,
Product:           Java Web Application
Operating system:     Windows NT/2000 server, Linux, FreeBSD
Web Server:          IIS, Apache etc
Application server:     Tomcat 3.2.4, JRun, WebLogic etc
Database server:     MySQL 3.23.49, MS-SQL, Oracle etc
Java Architecture:     JSP (presentation) + Java Bean (Business logic)
Language:          English, Japanese, chinese, italian, arabic etc
Through our java application we need to create HTML files that have to display unicode text. Our present works well with English and most of the european character set. But when we tried to create HTML files that will display unidoce text, say japanese, only ???? is getting displayed. Following is the code we have used. The out on the browser displays the japanese characters correctly. But the created file displays only ??? in place of japanese chars. Can anybody tell how can we do it?
<%
String s = request.getParameter( "txt1" );
out.println("Orignial Text " + s);
//for html output
String f_str_content="";
f_str_content = f_str_content +"<HTML><HEAD>";
f_str_content = f_str_content +"<META content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" http-equiv=Content-Type></HEAD>";
f_str_content = f_str_content +"<BODY> ";
f_str_content = f_str_content +s;
f_str_content = f_str_content +"</BODY></HTML>";
f_str_content = new String(f_str_content.getBytes("8859_9"),"Shift_JIS");
out.println("file = " + f_str_content);
          byte f_arr_c_buffer1[] = new byte[f_str_content.length()];
f_str_content.getBytes(0,f_str_content.length(),f_arr_c_buffer1,0);
          f_arr_c_buffer1 = f_str_content.getBytes();
FileOutputStream l_obj_fout; //file object
//file object for html file
File l_obj_f5 = new File("jap127.html");
if(l_obj_f5.exists()) //for dir check
l_obj_f5.delete();
l_obj_f5.createNewFile();
l_obj_fout = new FileOutputStream(l_obj_f5); //file output stream for writing
for(int i = 0;i<f_arr_c_buffer1.length;i++ ) //for writing
l_obj_fout.write(f_arr_c_buffer1);
l_obj_fout.close();
%>
thanx.

Try changing the charset attribute within the META tag from 'utf-8' to 'SHIFT_JIS' or 'utf-16'. One of those two ought to do the trick for you.
Hope that helps,
Martin Hughes

Creating a custom component is causing a strange scoping issue

I am a fairly new user to Flash and Actionscript, but I have
a fair amount of experience working with C and Java. I'm currently
working with Actionscript 2 in Macromedia Studio 8. I was trying to
create a new component for a project I am working on, and I
followed the tutorial in the help and all testing works while I am
in context of the flash document where I export the component from.
However, I try testing my component in a new blank document and I
get some strange behavior.
I am able to create a component on the stage, and adjust the
properties perfectly fine. However, when I test the file, the
variables for colors go out of scope. That is, the adjustments I
made to the component through the parameters panel, and saw updated
on the stage aren't demonstrated at runtime. The Number variable I
used however is preserved. I did some traces, and it appears that
this is happening because at runtime in the new blank document, the
variables in the onEnterFrame method go out of scope, where they
weren't before.
It seems really strange to me that I should be able to edit
the color on stage but have it revert while it is running. My
intuition says that if it wasn't going to work in the new document,
that it shouldn't work in either case.
Anyway, here is the code for the .as file, I hope I'm just
doing something stupid.

There seems to be a little confusion here. Think of it this way:
A basic UIComponent by itself is not visible; you can add something you can see to it to make a visual custom component. For example, a ComboBox component is a UIComponent with a ComboBox added to it.
The UIComponent is the lightest weight component available from which you can create other components. I use it as the base for custom components that the user cannot see, like a data manager.
HTH,
Carlos
