Default property values

Is there any way of setting system wide default property values in Windows XP? For example, I want to set the extensions directories to point to a common jar directory for all java programs I run on my computer. Or I want to set the JDBC driver properties for all programs. Any easy way of doing this?

Use some wrapper script?

Setting default property value in custom componenty

I'm a Flash newbie trying to build a custom component using
Flash MX 2004. basically it's an enhanced version of the standard
label component. Everything seems to work fine except when trying
to set default text or assigning a text value in the "properties"
window (the field displays in the properties window, but any value
typed into it does not appear during movie playback). Currently,
the text can be seen only in authoring mode, not when the movie
plays. The only way for the text to displayed during playback is to
set it up through code. Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong? .as
file content follows.
class CustomComponents.FormFields.lblFieldLabel extends
MovieClip {
private var objFieldLabel:MovieClip;
private var strText:String = "";
function lblFieldLabel() {
init();
public function init():Void {
public function get displaytext():String {
return strText;
[Inspectable(defaultValue="display text", type="String")]
public function set displaytext(val:String):Void {
strText = val;
objFieldLabel.text = strText + ":";
}

Place default checkbox value "in SESSION" on initial page load

Oracle 11.2
Apex 4.1
Desire outcome: Chart renders on inital page load using default value of checkbox in query.
I have a checkbox with a default (checked) value. It shows checked when the page renders for the first time but the value is not in the SESSION state. I use this value in a query for a chart. I do not want to use a Submit button so I have a dynamic action submitting the value for the checkbox and the chart refreshes as desired when I check and uncheck the box.
I tried "Fire on Page Load" in the DA Execution Options, as well, but that caused a loop where the page renders and immmediately renders, and immediately renders, etc.
Is there a declarative solution that submits the current, in this case default, values when the page is loaded? I only need and want the default values used the first time the page is accessed. This is the initial page of the application but I need the same behavior on all pages for the separate checkbox selections found there.
May God Bless,
Howard

The Default Value colon-delimited string must contain the checkbox values, not the labels. In a static LOV the checkbox options are specified as <tt>label;value</tt> pairs. Thus in your checkbox LOV the labels are A/B, whilst the values are a/b. The values are case-sensitive.
The Default Value should therefore be:
a:bwhereas you've specified:
A:BWith the checkbox item LOV Display Extra Values property set to Yes, APEX displays these extra values that are not included in the LOV definition as additional checkboxes. You can see this if you inspect the rendered checkbox elements in the HTML source:
<input type="checkbox" id="P3_CHECKBOX_0" name="p_v01" value="a">
<input type="checkbox" id="P3_CHECKBOX_1" name="p_v01" value="b">
<input type="checkbox" id="P3_CHECKBOX_2" name="p_v01" value="A" checked="checked">
<input type="checkbox" id="P3_CHECKBOX_3" name="p_v01" value="B" checked="checked">You get the a/b values defined in the LOV, plus the extra A/B values the LOV knows nothing about.
==== ) How do you keep it from setting/resetting these values each time the

Problem then is that the computation will be run if the user can [legitimately] deselect all of the checkboxes, either leaving you back where you started, or requiring the use of a further item to flag whether it is the really "the very first time" (which I find intellectually deeply unsatisfactory). This may be a sign that the control should really be a radio group that always has one option set, rather than a check box.

How to assign One Dimension Property value to another Dimension ID

Business senario:
There are two dimensions Entity and Plant. Plant also has a property Entity.
In my Input Form, I need to derive Entity Property based on PLANT selection and should map it to ENTITY Dimension.
I have selected PLANT Dimension and ENTITY Dimension in Page Axis. I have updated EPMOLAPMember() formula with EPMMemberProperty() for deriving Entity values. When I tried to save data an error message appears saying TOT_Code is not a base level member. So I checked Edit Report window and found that ENTITY Dimension is automatically moved to default left panel from Row Axis and Entity Dimension Context Menu is mapped to TOT_Code which is the top node of the total hierarchy.
I tried EPMMemberOverride() function to overwrite ENTITY Dimension values with Entity Property of PLANT Dimension but unable to overwrite it.
In Simple Words:
ENTITY Dimension = PLANT Dimension (Entity Property)
Is there any way to map/assign property value to another dimension??? Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

Set a dynamic default property when a page is created?

Is there a way to set a default property that is dynamic for a page when it is created? For example, i want to capture a user id from our system and store it in an "author" property when the page is first created. This value can be changed to a different user by the author but in case they don't set it i want to have it default on page creation.
I guess a better question would be, is there somewhere i can put code so that it will be executed when a page is created?
I considered writing a custom widget and putting this in page properties, but that won't actually run unless page properties has been opened.
Thanks

For anyone in the future, here is how i implemented the event handler -
@Component
public class PageCreationObservation implements EventListener {
    Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(this.getClass());
    private Session adminSession;
    @Reference
    SlingRepository repository;
    @Activate
    public void activate(ComponentContext context) throws Exception {
        log.info("Activating PageCreationObservation");
        try {
            String[] nodetypes = {"cq:Page"};
            adminSession = repository.loginAdministrative(null);
            adminSession.getWorkspace().getObservationManager().addEventListener(
                this, //handler
                Event.NODE_ADDED, //binary combination of event types
                "/content/appname", //path
                true, //is Deep?
                null, //uuids filter
                nodetypes, //nodetypes filter
                false
        } catch (RepositoryException e) {
            log.error("Unable to register session",e);
            throw new Exception(e);
    @Deactivate
    public void deactivate(){
        if (adminSession != null) {
            adminSession.logout();
    public void onEvent(EventIterator eventIterator) {
        try {
            while (eventIterator.hasNext()) {
                Event newEvent = eventIterator.nextEvent();
                log.info("something has been added : {}", newEvent.getPath());
                //Check if node exists and it is a content node of the newly created page
                if (adminSession.nodeExists(newEvent.getPath())
                        && adminSession.getNode(newEvent.getPath()).getProperty("jcr:primaryType").getString().equals("cq:PageContent")) {
                    Node contentNode = adminSession.getNode(newEvent.getPath());
                    if (contentNode.getProperty("jcr:createdBy") != null) {

        } catch(Exception e){

XL Reporter - "invalid property value"

SAP 2005A SP1 PL43
W2k3
SQL 2005
.NET Framework 2.0
Citrix PS 4.0
MS Office 2003
When I run XL Reporter, I get this:
XL Reporter
An error occurred while Executing report!
Invalid Property value.
Thanks to Apple Liu, I did this:
1) Make sure XLR is uninstalled. To be sure of this, check the folder
\AddOns\XLR in their Business One client installation folder and it
should be empty.
2) Go to the SQL Server, and delete the database IXMetaSBOOEM manually
if it is there. After that, go to the default data file folder of
SQLServer (if SQLServer is installed on c:\Program Files folder, the
data file folder should be C:\Programas\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data\
by default). This folder is the default location for SQL Server to place
data files. Make sure the files IXMetaSBOOEM.mdf and
IXMetaSBOOEM_log.ldf does not exist.
3) Go to Security->Logins in the SQL Server, delete the account xlruser
if it exists.
4) Try installing XLR again
I also dropped the proper config files from SAP Support Notes into the Office 11 folder and the XL Client folder to ensure the client is using the proper .NET Framework version.
I know this is permissions-related, since I can run XL Reporter successfully when I launch the client from the Citrix desktop when I'm logged into the server console (won't work if I RDP into the desktop as Administrator).
Any suggestions?
TIA
John

Thanks for the quick response, Gordon. Your questioning helped me to solve the problem. I had not tried to launch XL Reporter from the Tools menu, and when I did, I got an error message that said 8-bit color was not supported (I was running the SAP client on the Citrix desktop via an RDP session). When I increased the color display property in my RDP session, XL Reporter worked fine.
That also explains why I could successfully run XL Reporter from the server Console!
Thanks, again.

Setting View Default property

Hi,
I have 2 views in a window. Upon passing application parameters and checking for the values I need to set the 'default' property of the view i.e I need to see view1 initially when I deploy the application or I need to see view2 initially(depending on a condition). Is this posible to set this property dynamically? Please let me know.
Thanks,
Sunil

Hi Sunil,
When WD is called, the application executes the InterfaceView of the default view in the window. So, you can have an intial view, call it as view0 which will always be the default view, (nothing in it but not an "empty view") and fire plugs in this view to any other view view1 or view2 of your choice.
If you learn any other standard way, please do let me know.
Thanks,
Rajit

[NSUserDefaults setObject:forKey:]: Attempt to insert non-property valu

Hi all
I have been writting classes at work in Xcode 4.? SL 10.6.8 and every thing has been working fine. When I bring a copy home to work on under Lion in Xcode 4.3.2 I get issues (Lots of them)
While I have solved or worked around most I am unsure why I am getting an error with my NSUserDefaults.
I have a method that I run in a singleton
+ (void)setSaveLocation : (NSString *) saveLocation
    NSMutableDictionary * ccLogManagerDictionaryFromUserDefaults = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithDictionary:[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] valueForKey:@"CCLogManager"]];
    [ccLogManagerDictionaryFromUserDefaults setObject:saveLocation forKey:@"Save Location"];
    [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:ccLogManagerDictionaryFromUserDefaults forKey:@"CCLogManager"];
    [ccLogManagerDictionaryFromUserDefaults release];
    // Post a notification to inform other classes that the savelocation has changed
    NSNotificationCenter *notification = [NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter];
    [notification postNotificationName:@"CCLogManagerNotificationSaveLocation" object:self];
This worked fine before. The only change I have made is to the method in a different class that send the information :
- (IBAction)changeSaveLocation: (id)sender
    NSOpenPanel* openDlg = [NSOpenPanel openPanel];
    [openDlg setCanChooseFiles:NO];
    [openDlg setCanChooseDirectories:YES];
    if ( [openDlg runModal] == NSOKButton )
        NSArray* files = [openDlg URLs];
        int i;
        for( i = 0; i < [files count]; i++ )
            NSString* fileName = [files objectAtIndex:i];
            [CCLogManager setSaveLocation:fileName];
I had to change two lines due to depreciation:
    if ( [openDlg runModalForDirectory:nil file:nil] == NSOKButton )
and
        NSArray* files = [openDlg filenames];
What I dont understand is that I am still passing a NSString as required. And if in the first method I simpy insert a @"" string like so
    [ccLogManagerDictionaryFromUserDefaults setObject:
@"file://localhost/Volumes/MacPro%20RAID/Home%20Folder/Downloads/8-tileable-meta l-textures/" forKey:@"Save Location"];
Then it works
Any assistance would be most appreciated.
Cheers
Steve
Oh and the error is:
2012-06-14 22:41:31.843 ProControl[3630:403] *** -[NSUserDefaults setObject:forKey:]: Attempt to insert non-property value '{
    "Logging Enabled" = 1;
    "Save Location" = "file://localhost/Volumes/MacPro%20RAID/Home%20Folder/Downloads/8-tileable-meta l-textures/";
}' of class '__NSCFDictionary'. Note that dictionaries and arrays in property lists must also contain only property values.
And it don't save to the User Defaults.

Hi etresoft, thanks for the reply.
Do you mean the number 1 pertaining to "Loggining Enabled" = 1?
If so this should be a   [NSNumber numberWithBool: YES] which is already in the userdefauts.plist. before copying the original dictionary.
The method save should be copying a dictionary from the .plist and only changing the dictionary entry for "Save Location" which is a NSString. It shouldn't be doing anything to the "Logging Enabled" entry which as I say should already be a NSNumber numberWithBool . Plus seeing as you can change the line
[ccLogManagerDictionaryFromUserDefaults setObject:saveLocation forKey:@"Save Location"];
to
[ccLogManagerDictionaryFromUserDefaults setObject:
@"file://localhost/Volumes/MacPro%20RAID/Home%20Folder/Downloads/8-tileable-meta l-textures/" forKey:@"Save Location"];
and still not touch the "Loggining Enabled" = 1 I don't that the 1 is an issue.
Sorry if I'm being dense.

WebAS - invalid property value

Hi,
I started to apply SP11 to WebAS 6.4 SP9 and now having problems starting the dispatcher-process. The developer-trace shows two errors:
error => Invalid property value [box.number/J2EJC00MC00009304] [jstartxx.c 808]
error => Invalid property value [system.id/0] [jstartxx.c 808]
I can't figure out why these values are wrong. What are the right values and where to set them?

Hello,
I found the same problem.
When upgrading from WebAS 6.40 SP09 => SP11 (or SP12) the update process stops before "Deploy online" because the J2EE engine came not up.
This is because a wrong jvm parameter in the dispatchers default configuration in WebAS 6.40 SP9:
Xms170m instead <b>-</b>Xms170m.
To fix the problem it seem to be the best choise to use the configtool BEFORE starting the upgrade to SP11 or 12.
Move to the instance_IDxxx\dispatcher_IDxxx general tab and correct the wrong jvm parameter Xms170m to -Xms170m.
Thats all.

G6: Setting default metadata values

Hello all!I am trying to find a way to set default metadata values in plumtree.
For example, if I created a Web Content Crawler to scan MarchofDimes.com, which has various career postings, I would like to be able to default or force these crawled content items to have a category field of "Job Postings".
It appears that at the "Content Type" object level, you can set a default value. However I don't want to set "Job Postings" as the category for all imported web content, only those imported through this particular crawler.
I tried to create a new Content Type called "Web Content - Job Postings" but I chickend out when it got down to setting a new identifier to map to the Content Type. I wasn't sure how that would be accepted in the Global Content Mime/File Type Map Utility if there were duplicate identifiers.
Apart from going into each crawled document and setting the category field manually, does anyone have a recommendation on how this can be done?Thanks!Geoff!
While I have your attention, in the Global Document Property Map, how can I identify the various Document Attributes?

I am facing problem while accessing property value when i include a component inside another

Hi Everyone,
I am unable to access property value of richtext of a compoent that is included in another compoent.
I have created a compoentA at following location myProject/components/componentA.
I then created componentB at this location myProject/components/componentB
ComponentB contains a design_dialog that has a richtext widget with following properties:-
xtype=richtext
name=./description
titile=productdescription
I have then included componentB in componentA.jsp using <cq:include path="productdescription" resourceType="myProject/components/componentB" />.
I have then dropped componentA on a page. In design mode i could see the edit dialog for componentB and on edit I could see the rich text, but when i am trying to access the values entered in richtext inside componentB.jsp i am getting null/default value.
<%=properties.get("description","Description not present")%>
Can any one tell me why the property is not accessible on the included component.
Thanks

What is the tree structure created for the property of the componentB?
Can you try the below code in your componentB jsp and check whether you are getting the property value
Resource resource = slingRequest.getResource();
String description = ((String) ResourceUtil.getValueMap(resource).get(
"./description", String.class));

How to check the default checked value for radio button on jsp for struts

Hello , I just want to check the default checked value in JSP for a radio button, how can i do that?
<html:radio property="sale" value="permanent" style="vertical-align: middle;">Permanent</html:radio>
<html:radio property="sale" value="temporary" style="vertical-align: middle;">Temporary</html:radio>

you can set the default value for property ( which you want to default selected when the form is first loaded) in reset method of the form.
<html:radio property="sale" value="permanent" style="vertical-align: middle;">Permanent</html:radio>
<html:radio property="sale" value="temporary" style="vertical-align: middle;">Temporary</html:radio>
In the above case you can write the code as follows in the perticular form of this jsp.
public void reset(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request) {
super.reset(mapping, request);
sale = "permanent";
This will show the first check box default selected when the first time the page is loaded.

What is the default timeout value for the SPQuery object?

What is the default timeout value for the SharePoint SPQuery object? I've tried searching online but can't find anything with the actual timeout value.
Someone suggested it might use the timeout property in the database? Anyone know if that's how it works?

Hi,
Do you want to avoid timeout when you query list items?
If so, we can use the following C# code to set timeout.
HttpContext.Current.Server.ScriptTimeout = 600; // 10 minutes
More information is here:
http://200oksolutions.blogspot.com/2013/03/sharepoint-2010-set-timeout-only-to.html
The SPQuery object doesn’t provide any property to set timeout. We can also set timeout in web.config, or SQL Connections or IIS.

"Property value is not valid" when PropertyGridView tries to convert a string to a custom object type.

Hi,
I have a problem with an PropertyGrid enum property that uses a type converter.
In general it works, but when I double clicking or using the scoll wheel, an error message appears:
"Property value is not valid"
Details: "Object of type 'System.String' cannot be converted to type 'myCompany.myProject.CC_myCustomProperty."
I noticed that the CommitValue method (in PropertyGridView.cs) tries to convert a string value to a CC_myCustomProperty object.

I was wondering is there a way to work around this? Maybe extend the string converter class to accept this?

Crystal Reports 9 and SQL Server 2005 default parameter values

We're using Crystal Reports 9 and upgraded from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005.
I'm noticing a very weird problem which I wonder if anyone else has experienced (and hopefully found a resolution for). It appears that in using Crystal with SQL Server 2005 stored procedures, if we have default parameter values in the stored procedures, the default parameter values get completely ignored if you pass in a NULL value from Crystal!
For example, if you have a stored procedure that begins like this:
ALTER Procedure [dbo].[StoredProcedure]
@Param1 VarChar(200) = '',
@Param2 VarChar(200) = ''
AS ...
both @Param1 and @Param2 have a default value of an empty string, and therefore should become empty strings if nothing (NULL values) gets passed in for them.
But, like I said, what I'm finding is that with Crystal calling the stored procedure with NULL @Param1 and @Param2 values, they never become empty strings, but rather remain as NULLs.
This was never a problem with SQL 2000.
Very perplexing. Anyone else every experience this?
Thank you.

Please ignore my earlier post -- answered my own question.
NULL parameter values do not get replaced by default values in SQL -- that is normal behavior in both SQL 2000 and SQL 2005. Just goes to show, that no many how many years programming experience you have, you can still get tripped up sometimes : (
