The saddest thing about it to me is that it all just seems to be a playground squabble.
Although I am pretty sure that Oracle plays with knives, so not a normal "playground squabble".I'd expect these kinds of teething pains after a major acquisition. I think some relevant questions to ask are:
1. How much is at stake for Oracle? Would it be trivial if Java fell off the developer's table?I think one can manage to use Oracle in C#. Pretty sure it isn't as easy. Also pretty sure the newest cool toy (linq) won't work for Oracle.
>
2. Is Apache, IBM, others nearing the "throw in the towel" phase?
Apache is open source so that part doesn't mean much. Per the article IBM is supporting the open source version of java.
3. Is C# really considered better now by a large percentage of the developer community?
I doubt it. I suppose that depends on what "large percentage" is supposed to mean.
4. Now that Apple has apparently been convinced to play nice with Oracle, and since it seems that more and more Java developers are using Apple products, will Apple stay the course?
Meaning? Apple has deprecated Java and articles I have read suggest a market driven approach to supporting languages which means only the ones Apple feels they have enough control over.

Problems between Xcelsius and WebDynpro for Java

How should I do to show Xcelsius in WebDynpro for Java?
How should I transport data between Xcelsius and WebDynpro?
How should I control WebDynpro with Xcelsius?For example,firing plugs in Xcelsius like in WebDynpro to change one view to another.
How should I do to execute a Java method in Xcelsius?For example,scheduling a job on clicking a button in Xcelsius.
Besides these,I also want to know the same problems between other BOE contents and WebDynpro for Java.

Hi Pradeep:
Well that purely depends on the business application (project) your client is proposing. Following are very few factors which will drive for creating web-based applications:
VC: it's a UI modeling tool (non-programming) for creating rapid creation of web-based applications.
WD: its a powered by Java and ABAP with which you can create robust business applications.
If your client is very choosy about rapid application development, reporting, rich user interface, to reduce TCO then VC is the choice. Or if the project contains typical integration with SAP and non-SAP systems, complex business logic development, integration with WCM systems...etc then WDJ is the option.
If youve some sort of custom development with facilitating the Development Infrastructure (NWDI) then WDJ is the only option I could say.
We hope with NW CE 7.1.1(referred by Priyanka Singh) tighter integration between these TWO tools may over come the ambiguity of using them.
Tnx,
MS

Opengl and directx for java or c++ or Java3D

I am new to the 3D programming and I have many queries and I hope those expect can answer me. Thank you very much.
I have some experience in writing directx 7.0 in C++. I find that the IDirect3DDevice7 in directx7.0 does not support 256 colors but direct3ddevice in directx5.0 does.
However, the direct3ddevice in directx5.0 in 16 or 32 bit color performs very strange. Distortion is found in displaying a 3D image.
1.     Do you have this experience? Does direct3ddevice in directx5.0 not work in 16 or 32 bit colors?
2.     If I want to write a 3D directx program in C++ that can be work in every resolution, what can I do?
3.     Can opengl work in every resolution 256 colors, 16, 32 bits?
4.     Does opengl work in every platform?
5.     Can I write an opengl program in window platform and run it in Linux without any modification or compilation ?
6.     Does the opengl runtime different from platform to platform ?
7.     If I deploy an opengl progam, do I need to deploy the runtime for a particular platform with it.
8.     Opengl is claimed to be open source. What does it mean ? Can I modify the code of the opengl sdk or runtime and re-complie it and make it my own version of opengl ?
9.     I find many version of opengl sdk in the web. Some is special to a particular hardware eg. NVIDIA. Some is not bounded to any hardware. What is the different between them ? How can I choose from them ?
10.     I know that there is directx for java and opengl for java. Is it the so called java 3D ?
11.     Does opengl or directx together with Java2 become Java 3D ?
12.     However I cannot find any directx code or directive for importing the directx package in the Java 3D sample code.
13.     Does the Javax provide the utility for 3D programming by hiding the 3D device or texture surface creation ?
14.     I find some code segment from MSDN which shows the way to create a directdraw object in an applet. I wonder what is the proper way to use directx or opengl in java since my main goal is to create a directx application that can be worked in the web.
15.     Lastly, from my understanding, directx is a com api which can be used in every programming languages. Does it imply that with a directx sdk, I can write a directx application in C++, java, or vb ?
16.     But, I find that the code to do the same task in the three programming languages is very different. The object creation methods, the data structure for directx in the three programming languages is different. Is the same sdk realy used in different programming languages ? The object name for e.g. direct3ddevice is different from vb (Direct3DDevice7) and c++ (IDirect3DDevice7).

I'm no expert in 3D graphics programming, but I have some experience. I'll try to answer some of your questions.
2.     If I want to write a 3D directx program in C++ that
can be work in every resolution, what can I do?I think both DirectX and OpenGL supports any resolution and color depth. It's more a matter of which resolutions your graphics driver supports.
3.     Can opengl work in every resolution 256 colors, 16,
32 bits?Yes.
4.     Does opengl work in every platform?OpenGL is available on many platforms. Look at GL4Java if you want to use OpenGL in Java, it's available on many platforms. Look at: http://www.jausoft.com/gl4java.html
5.     Can I write an opengl program in window platform
and run it in Linux without any modification or
compilation ?Yes, if you write it in Java. In C++ you will need to recompile the app.
6.     Does the opengl runtime different from platform to
platform ?No, it's a standard. There are some extensions that are driver dependant, but if you stick to the standard it will run unmodified on all platforms.
7.     If I deploy an opengl progam, do I need to deploy
the runtime for a particular platform with it.I don't think OpenGL is available by default on all platforms.
8.     Opengl is claimed to be open source. What does it
mean ? Can I modify the code of the opengl sdk or
runtime and re-complie it and make it my own version
of opengl ?OpenGL is not open source. OpenGL is a standard, it can't be open source since there is no source code.
9.     I find many version of opengl sdk in the web. Some
is special to a particular hardware eg. NVIDIA. Some
is not bounded to any hardware. What is the different
between them ? How can I choose from them ?If you have modern graphics card the driver includes support for OpenGL on MS Windows. For Linux you use Mesa I think. See GL4Java homepage for more info.
10.     I know that there is directx for java and opengl
for java. Is it the so called java 3D ?GL4Java implements the OpenGL functions in Java. Java3D is a high level API that runs on either OpenGL or DirectX.
11.     Does opengl or directx together with Java2 become
Java 3D ?No. The Java3D package is available for download at java.sun.com.
12.     However I cannot find any directx code or
directive for importing the directx package in the
Java 3D sample code.You can't call DirectX directly in Java3D. It hides the underlying layers.
13.     Does the Javax provide the utility for 3D
programming by hiding the 3D device or texture surface
creation ?Java3D is platform independent and hides things like the hardware, drivers etc.
14.     I find some code segment from MSDN which shows the
way to create a directdraw object in an applet. I
wonder what is the proper way to use directx or opengl
in java since my main goal is to create a directx
application that can be worked in the web.I dont know if DirectX is available for Java. I recommend that you use OpenGL instead, or Java3D if you want an easy, high level API.
15.     Lastly, from my understanding, directx is a com
api which can be used in every programming languages.
Does it imply that with a directx sdk, I can write a
directx application in C++, java, or vb ?In C++ and VB, yes. Dont know if there are any Java DirectX bindings available.
16.     But, I find that the code to do the same task in
the three programming languages is very different. The
object creation methods, the data structure for
directx in the three programming languages is
different. Is the same sdk realy used in different
programming languages ? The object name for e.g.
direct3ddevice is different from vb (Direct3DDevice7)
and c++ (IDirect3DDevice7).Don't mix programming languages in the same app. Decide if Java or C++ is the right language for you, then use the tools available for the language you choose.
My recommendation is to go for Java and Java3D if you are inexperienced with 3D graphics programming. Use Java + OpenGL if you know about vertices, textures, transforms etc.

EP,ESS/MSS and webdynpro for java interview questions.

I am an ep and ESS?MSS consultant and work on webdynpro for java.I have also worked on PDK like customization of masthead and logon page.I would like to know how to prepare for an interview? I mean what should I read ? and what topics should I cover?

HI Anzar
Instead of posting this here, you could have googled it. There are no. of sites for the same thing.
Since you wrote, so just curious... EP & ESS/MSS Consultant... what does that mean?
If I am not taking it wrong, by that sentence you are trying to tell that you have worked on ESS / MSS modeule. Right?
See, if you are an EP Consultant, you must know all the below atleast -
1. PORTAL SIDE
a. Different types of iView configuration
b. User Management
c. Internal / External Portal Configuration
d. Content development
e. UWL
f. Portal bottlenecks (I mean portal related issues, like slow responding etc.)
g. Display & Desktop Configuration
h. System Landscape Directory
i. NWDI
2. WEB DYNPRO SIDE
a. Calling iviews from wd applications
b. RFC/ BAPI calls
c. JCO Connections
d. SC/DC Concept
e. Import/Export Parameters
f. Scenario Based Answering (like... if your imported BAPI import parameters are changed by BASIS, what will you do to make it work for you.... etc)
g. Singleton/Non-Singleton nodes
h. Controllers
i. Interfaces
j. Multi-lingual Applications
k. EJBs
l. PDK applications
This is the basic list, it can contain many more items... This is the list which I faced for my interview. As an EP consultant, you must be good in both Portal as well as WD end.
1 more thing, every interview is different from other, so no point in just mugging them out. Go through with there concepts. That way, you can answer twisted & scenario based questions.
Hope this will help.

Chander Kararia
if question solved, close the thread after marking it answered.

ActiveX and COM for Java

Are there any good tutorials that can explain how to wrap an existing ActiveX or COM component around Java code? At this point I am only researching possibilities as the requirements from the customer have yet to be recieved.
Would this be a JNI situation? or something else that I am unaware of. I am fairly new to Java and have not done this type of thing yet.
Thanks

I found that. I was hoping for something more detailed. Example source code would be great. The link you gave provides example apps but not the source that I can use to better understand how it works.

Lex and yacc for java?

I've found "jack" and a few other tools for this. I would prefer to use the syntax of the lex/flex and yacc/bison files (as opposed to jack's combined file).
I'm interested in folks recommendation for the best lex/yacc tools for generating .java files for a parser.
Thanks,

There is something called JavaCC. It includes a lectical analyzer, but it generates top-down parsers which you might or might not like.

Devleoper Studio and Workplace for Java application development

1. Can someone please help me know what is netweaver developer studio and developer workplace ?
2. I came across EP master guide that says :
You install an AS Java centrally and the developer workplace on each developer host.
This option is recommended for large development projects with a need for local and central testing. Developers can test their developments locally using the developer workplace. For integration tests, they deploy their changes on the central AS Java.Ûê.® |
You install an AS Java centrally and Developer Studio instances on each developer host.
This option requires fewer hardware resources per developer host. In this landscape scenario you can set up an AS Java in development mode centrally and connect to it from the other hosts in the landscape using the Developer Studio.
How does Java application development take place ? Does this say that we need Developer Studio instances installed on every developer's host (suppose I have 3 developers) or do I need one server setup for Dev Studio and developers using some client program to connect to it ?
I suppose developers create programs on their local pc's, port them to Dev studio for testing and transfer them to EP Dev server ? Is that correct.. ? Thereby, we need CTS+ to promote developments to Qlty and Prod ?

Hi,
Please check-out the following links to understand NWDS, Developer studio and the installation procedure:

Question about classes15.jar vs ttjdbc5.jar and support for Java 1.6

The docs note the use of ttjdbc5.jar vs ttjdbc14.jar depending on Java version. In the tt70_32 distribution (lib dir) I also see jars named classes14.jar, classes15.jar, and classes16.jar. They look to have the same content as ttjdbc5.jar. Can someone clarify when to use these jars?
Also, are there any known issues on Java 6?
Thanks

The classes+nn+.jar files are just the old names we used to use and we still ship the files under these names for backwards compatiility. The new names are ttjdbc14.jar (JDK 1.4), ttjdbc5.jar (JDK 1.5 or Java 5) and ttjdbc6.jar (JDK 1.6 or Java 6). However, due to a packaging error in some of the earlier 7.0 release we omitted to ship ttjdbc6.jar. But you can just copy/rename classes16.jar to ttjdbc6.jar.
I'd recommend using the ttjdbc files as this is the 'new' naming convention. I am not aware of any issues with Java 6. I have used it extensivley with TimesTen and not seen any problems.. It is faster than Java 5 in many instances.

Signal and slot for java

Hi all,
I have implemented Qt's signal and slot here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/javasignalslot/
In case you are wondering what's "Qt's signal and slot", please read http://doc.trolltech.com/3.1/signalsandslots.html
My version uses String as signal, and the slot can be any public method. Currently ArrayList is used to setup the connection, for simplicity reason. In next release I will try to use HashTable and hopefully this can increase the signal propagation speed.
Please take a look and please give feedback to me. Thanks.

Thank you.
ActionListener is an interface, but the slot only needs to be a public method of a class, therefore the only "contract" is the set of parameters for that method. The "observer" needs not implement an interface like ActionListener, but only prepares a public method and uses it as its "slot", so that the �event notifier� can just call this method and pass the parameters it want.
At the time for setting up a "connection" (so that, in Swing sense, the "observer" will be able to get the notification), the only agreement between the signal and the slot is that set of parameters only; while for an object implementing ActionListener, the agreement is the entire ActionListener interface.
It wouldn't be useful to say "a set of method parameters" is better than "implementing an interface"; it is just that, "a set of method parameters" has lower requirement on the "contract", hence it will be more flexible.
No doubt in strict OO sense, any object, if it has certain kind of features, it should model that features into an interface, and implements it. However, interface would be a stronger "contract", which is more "heavy load" than just merely "a set of method parameters".
You might say that an interface will be sufficient, why I still want to make a method (which is more specific) independent of any interface (that it might/should have belonged to)? It is just another �observer� mechanism, and probably just a dare try.
This idea, as you can see from the references, is the basic message passing mechanism among different modules. If my code, in your opinion, is worthy of trying, please give it a try. I will be glad to know if you like the idea.

MySQL download and setup for java application develop

I would like to setup my computer to be both database and Tomcat web server. Can anybody tell me what to download for MySQL? What are the neccessary steps to setup? Do I need to create DSN ? Thanks,J

Go to http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-4.0.html and download the appropriate file for your platform.
MySQL has VERY thorough documentation. In addition to being online, it will also be packaged with your download. Go to http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Installing.html for detailed instructions on how to install MySQL on your platform.
You'll also want the latest JDBC Driver. Go to http://www.mysql.com/downloads/api-jdbc-stable.html and download the appropriate file for your platform.

OS4... Its not all doom and gloom

Initially I was disappointed. I have cooled down a lot since the heated moments of failure after the Hype of OS4. I knew multitasking was not going to be the included; the heads up of knowing it won’t be included was fine and fare. After the install I was itching to change the home menu wall paper.
To my surprise, all my app’s had been removed, and my Itunes library. Everything else was still there.
When I finally came to my own conclusion that the home menu wallpapers were not included, I started to get a little furious. It was within this state of mind when I found every other problem I was extremely negative.
Now the dust has settled, and I have used the phone with OS4 for a few days, I am getting used to the slowness. Yeah, I shouldn’t have to, but what can you do?
My phone does work fine. The apps’s will lag, or some times just crash. It’s a new OS, so, teething problems are going to happen.
My process of upgrading was simple. I put the phone in, Itunes said its usual dribble of new updates.
I downloaded and installed. It performed the back up first, then installed the new OS.
Just a few things:
• I don’t believe you need to do all these complex steps that every one has mentioned. If you are concerned, just do a back up first. Beyond that, it should sought it self out.
• I do not really believe there are corrupt data files that are causing dramas.
• Once installed, turn the phone of, and then sync it again. This fixed my photos from being blurry.
• Battery life has suffered, but this is a more complex OS. I just accept that now.
The update more or less offers Folder’s and a dictionary function for SMS’s. A few other little things that really aren’t worth while mentioning.
But besides that, after the dust as settled, I am not really having many dramas. I think it was the hype that charged me up to start fuming.
If there’s people out there who wanna hear something positive, well, yeah there’s good and bad.
Im not going to screw around jail breaking or reverting to OS3.
It might be wishful thinking, but I do think Apple will release and fix, or something. If they don’t well, Ill worry about that then.
Besides that, as I said, there’s good and bad.

That pretty much sums up my feelings also. I did find that doing a restore, after day one helped my slowdowns a lot. People who are experiencing problems with lag should try doing a restore in iTunes.
**** it is better than when 2.0 came out, it was hard to even use my iPhone after the 2.0 update.
Cheers,
Matt

Its not all doom and gloom!

Ok, I'm coming to the end of my first week with BT Infinity and as these forums seem to be filled with tales of woe I thought I'd post something positive!
My Infinity FTTP 40Mb order went smoothly up until the engineer install which required a replacement ONT to get me going, but everything was handled professionally, the engineers turned up on time and always phoned ahead to check that I was ready. I was so blown away by the performance of the 40 MB service that I immediately went online to order the 100Mb service. The system advised that the 100mb service would go live in 2 days, and sure enough at 10am two days later I went to speedtest.net and my speed showed 102mb down 15.09 up I use a VPN to my companies network and the upgrade did not even break my connection!
Bravo BT!
On the down side I'm really mindful of a huge digital divide forming, where I have friends on the other side of town who cant even get reliable 512k ADSL
