Dynamic pages created from content stored in relation db - suggestions?

I'm involved in the early stages of a project and need some guidance on the best approach
to solve it. The idea is fairly simple. Users will access data stored in a relational database
and see the data presented to them as conventional web pages. The only dynamic part
of the web page is the query results returned to the user. The results will be wrapped in
HTML and JavaScript also stored in the database.
I've assumed that we'd just be using the browser, start page, Java applets, a JDBC and
the relational database to handle this.
Questions:
1. Once the applets have received all of the content back, in the correct order, from the
database, how is this fed to the browser so that it can be interpreted as a page?
2. Will be necessary to use servlets, and if so, at what point does this become a good idea?
I'm comfortable with the database issues, and have written a lot of HTML by hand. The part
I'm fumbling with here is the stuff in between. All suggestions are welcome, even those that
suggest that I RTFM - as long as the manual is named.
Thanks.

hi,
1. Once the applets have received all of the content back, in the correct order, from the
database, how is this fed to the browser so that it can be interpreted as a page?
Well you dont actually need to use a Applet if you are just going to retrieve data from the Database for presentation in a Web page, you could use either Servlets or JSP for that, given that you already know HTML and java i dont think either of them is going to take time to learn.
Well you could a Servlet for eg and in the Servlet write the server-side logic for generating the dynamic html content which is to be presented in the client side, if you are doing lotz of HTML work in the Servlet, you could write a JSP (a JSP will allow you to embed java code along with HTML tagz, much like ASP). I would suggest you use servlets initially though and when you become comfortable enough with servlets, you could also use JSP with JavaBeans.
2. Will be necessary to use servlets, and if so, at what point does this become a good idea?
I think itz a better idea to use Servlets to Applets for what you have in mind, for you can get inherant support for sessions, etc also if you write an applet with all that logic, itz going to take time to download that. Also the applet will be only a part of the page, all HTML for eg will be outside of the applet, if you plan to do output using HTML, i think you should use Servlets/JSP instead of Appletz.
hope that helpz

Set page item from a stored procedure

Dear reader
We would like to have a stored procedure to run every 10 minutes. When the procedure starts, the user has to be warned that the update process is running.
When the procedure is finished, the user should receive a message that the update process is finished.
What I had in mind was to set a Page 0 item 'P0_REFRESH' and set his value depending on the status of the update. Then add a dynamic action with a change event. So everytime the value of this page item changes, the user will receive a correct message.
Does anyone know if it is possible to set a page item from a stored procedure?
Kind regards
Xnni

I found a solution by querying the user_jobs table. In Apex, I created two page 0 items that hold the current status of the job (online, offline) and the old value of the job.
Online of offline in the current status item is determined by a decode on "this_sec".
The enext step was to include a html region in P0 that contains some javascript. This javascript will display a message when the values of the new status is different from the old status ;)
Many thanks for bringing up the ideas.

Meta Tag Placement in pages created from a template

I am updating a site and want to make sure that I place my meta tags correctly in individual pages created from a template. Can you tell me if my placement is correct?
Below is code I added to my template:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

<title>Untitled Document</title>

 
<style type="text/css">

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

<title>Long Island, NY, 11550 Music Dance Art & Drama Lessons</title>


<meta name="keywords" content="piano lessons, guitar lessons, drum lessons, flute lessons, violin lessons, afterschool performing arts, voice lessons, singing, saxophone, trumpet">
<meta name="description" content="Information about Young Musician Institute's Afternoon Arts Program for piano, guitar, drums, violin, viola, trumpet, saxophone and cello">

<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
As usually, Begin and end editable sections are grayed out, and the meta tag names are blue according to my scheme so I think I am doing it correctly, however, I want to be sure before submitting it to google incorrectly. Can you tell me if I am correct?
Thank you

for clarification, are you saying that I could have put them on the line after:
<title>Long Island, NY, 11550 Music Dance Art & Drama Lessons</title>
Yep.
Second, adding these meta tags actually did help the ranking of this company. They were not listed before I did this on their old site. They were on page 1 of their category hours after I did this for them.
I think it's just coincidence. However, for sure it wasn't the keywords that did that, since those are just ignored (the meta keywords contents, not the meta description contents).
what are the search engines looking for? I want to make sure to design with those things in mind.
They are looking for semantic content on the page. That means the contents of tags like <title>, <h1>, <h2>, <h3>. That also means (derived) keywords contained in content 'above the fold', and in filenames, in links, in title and alt attributes. In other words, search engines want to rank your pages based on *real* meaning of the contents of the page, not on some arbitrary listing of keywords that you place in a meta keyword tag.
Search engines also pay lots of attention to INCOMING links from other well ranked sites....

Pages created from template not formatted in FireFox browser

Using Dreamweaver CS5 I redesigned a web site with all pages now created from a master template. The result is that the site displays properly in IE, but not in FireFox. See the www.lbtscic.com site. It checked out OK in the Browser Lab for all browsers, but shows as mostly unformatted in the latest FireFox .
A side problem is that changes in the master template do NOT show up in the pages created from that template. When I make a change in the template the details show that it checked all the appropriate pages, but changed none. Need Help!
Bob Roberts

The linked page looks the same to me in IE9/Safari5.1/FF3.6.23, and it looks broken in all of them - the content region is wider than the banner image.
Here are seven common mistakes that will result in changes not propagating from Template to child -
1. Rename the Templates folder
2. Move the Templates folder to some other folder level in the site other than root level
3. Move a template out of the Templates folder.
4. Make changes to an editable region of the Template (which will not propagate)
5. Assume that Template changes will be effected by just uploading the changed Template file to the server without also uploading the changed local files
6. Corrupt the site cache so that the link between Template and child page is broken
7. Improperly create your child pages by simply opening the Template, adding page specific content, and resaving the Template with an *.html extension rather than its *.dwt extension. (you can tell if this is the case by looking at the code on a child page - if you see anything like <!-- TemplateBeginEditable... then this is what you have done). If you *have done this*, then recreate the child pages (in DW) using FILE | New > Page from Template, select the Template and click CREATE.
The 6th problem can be repaired by using SITE | Advanced > Recreate Site Cache, and the six others can be fixed by just not doing them. Have you done any of those?

Can't add spry widget to page created from dreamweaver template

Please help! I have created a template in Dreamweaver and
from that template I have created an html page. I want to add
different tabbed and/or accordion spry widgets to multiple pages
however I keep getting an error when I try to add a widget to an
editable region. I can add the widgets to the dwt file, but I do
not want the same widget on all pages created from that template.
Please advise!
Thanks
cycleguy

If that's all that's on the child page you are in trouble.
Anyhow, it appears to me that the template has not been
properly created
since I do not also see an editable region around the
<title> tag in your
code. Please read my previous post and follow the
instructions.

I have pdf file with 500 pages created from AutoCad file. In all pages, I have different document numbers.The file is not editable in pdf. How to change all the document numbers using "Comment" feature? Any alternate method? alternate method? I have Adobe Acrobat X Pro and Windows -7 platform.

Yes, I just want to cover up all the pages for those particular area of document numbers.
Nothing sensitive about it. I just want to show the correct document numbers on all pages in print out.
So, I wanted to cover up by comments, but commenting on each page will be difficult. So, I wanted to comment the same on all pages.

Dynamic page information from the portal database?

Is it possible to get information about existing dynamic pages from the portal database? We're upgrading our portal from 9.0.4 to 10.1.4 and because we will be running the new version on a different platform, we can't run any upgrade scripts and need to build again from scratch. I was hoping I could pull dynamic page information from a portal view or table into a spreadsheet, to save our developers having to click into each dynamic page application in the old version to get the pl/sql code to copy and paste into the new version. The generated dynamic page packages just have api calls, so it may be possible that there's an api to do this. Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so, how to do it? Thanks.

Why do links in the template change location to 'file:///'...on the pages created from the template?

Im not sure what I am doing wrong but I am building a portfolio site from a template that I downloaded online.
The site is working and I am slowly converting it from the template content to the content that I want.
As I will be editing the site and adding more pages I decided to try and add the Header, footer and main navigation bar as a template with another gallery container and navigation as an option on the template.
I thought that it was working fine untill I noticed that the links on the pages created using the template are showing as follows,
instead of the links that were in the template that show as,
Is this something that will change when I upload the site with the template or have I done something wrong making the links?

Usually this happens when you don't use a proper Site Definition, or if you have files outside your defined site folder.
Have you defined your site properly?

Dynamic pages submitting data to stored procedure

Hi,
I am developing an Oracle Portal application and I am facing a problem, if anyone could help me I'd be very grateful.
I have the latest version of Portal 3.0.9, installed on a linux server. I'm using I.E. 6.0 to interface with Portal.
I have a dynamic page that have a <form> tag, like this:
<form name="MyFormName" action="MySchema.MyStoredProcedure" method="post">
I changed the form name and the stored procedure name, because I'm in Brazil and these names are in portuguese, it won't make much sense in english...
Well, problem is, when I click on submit button, instead of calling the stored procedure, the browser tries to load a page called "http://MyServer/pls/MyDAD/MySchema.MyStoredProcedure" instead of calling the actual stored procedure. The procedure have all the parameters defined on <input> tags within the html code of the dynamic page.
I don't know what else I can do, any help or hint would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for my bad english.
Thanks In Advance,
Tiago Rocha

Have you specified any value (greater than 0) in the Portlet expires in ... minutes field ?
If you have, then I guess your dynamic page is getting cached.
Before submitting the form, do a right click on the browser page and view the page source.
What does the <form> tag look like ?
Does it still show the old procedure name ?

How do I hide the Dynamic Page parameters from being displayed in the URL

Hello,
I am using a form to call a Dynamic Page and to send parameters to it ,
is there a way to hide the parameters values from being diplayed in the URL
when the Dynamic Paged is called .
Thanks .

Hi,
You cannot hide the parameters in the url. The GET method works like that. You can use the POST method to submit the parameters. But in your case the POST method may be not be appropriate.
Thanks,
Sharmila

Sharepoint 2013 Wiki Page - Links in content rewritten to relative urls

We have an issue where on all SharePoint 2013 wiki pages any URL to items within the site containing the wiki page are rewritten to be relative URLs. This causes a huge problem when we surface these pages and a snippet of their content through a search web
part because the links fail being relative to the wiki page itself. To further illustrated with an example.
A site collection root page http://www.sp2013.com/default.aspx contains a search results web part returning all wiki pages in the site collection. There is a custom display template that renders
the linked title of the wiki page and the first 500 characters of formatted text (html) of the wiki page.
A wiki page is created in a sub site (sub1) called wiki1 (http://www.sp2013.com/sub1/pages/wiki1.aspx) the text of the page contains:
"Check out our new library: Document Library"
Document Library is a hyperlink to (http://www.sp2013.com/sub1/Document%20Library/Forms/AllItems.aspx)
Upon saving the wiki page the link is reformatted to be /Document%20Library/Forms/AllItems.aspx
From the rollup web part at http://www.sp2013.com/default.aspx the relative url in the snippet text of the display template evaluates to
http://www.sp2013.com/Document%20Library/Forms/AllItems.aspx which does not exist.
I have attempted modifying the source of the wiki page as well as the link in the ribbon however upon save of the changes the link is always modified to be relative. Any assistance is appreciated as this is extremely frustrating. Thank you.

Hi JonesEJ,
According to your description, my understanding is that SharePoint converts a absolute URL to
a relative URL when you save the wiki pages containing the URL.
This is actually the preferred behavior in SharePoint and on the web in general. SharePoint saves all absolute URLs for the wiki content as relative. It only does this if the URL matches the URL for the web application for that current wiki
site.
There is no OOB way to change the relative URL back to the absolute URL. For your issue, you can try to use
SPSite.MakeFullUrl() to convert it back.
There is a similar post for your reference:
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/62887/absolute-urls-converted-to-relative-urls-when-saving-item

Why is the formatting missing from my html page created from a template?

Hi All!
Hope you can help me.
I've created a new template in dreamweaver - all good. When I preview the template page in a browser everything looks perfect.
But when I create a new html page from that template, even though the page looks perfect in design view, all the formatting is missing when I preview it in a browser.
The site settings were relative to the site root and I've changed that to be relative to the document (not sure if that should make a difference). Either way, it hasn't changed anything.
Any ideas?

The site settings were relative to the site root
If you have not enabled "Preview using temporary files" in your PREFERENCES then site root relative links will fail on preview. Why? Because site root relative links *always* begin with "/", and when the browser sees that, it (since it knows nothing about Dreamweaver sites) correctly looks for the path starting from the root of your hard drive, not the root of the DW site. When you enable preview using temp files, before handing the file to the browser, DW obligingly converts all root relative links to document relative links (which *will* work on preview) but to do that it must create a temporary file (there are other things that happen as well, like external files being embedded in the code for the preview, but that is not relevant to this discussion). The reason a temp file is created is so that these changes don't affect your saved file.
So, if you want to use site root relative links, and do previews of your pages, you must enable the temporary files in preview. There is really no downside to doing this except that you may occasionally see a curious file named xzys139(.html in your local file list - this is a temporary file that was handed to the browser for preview, and for whatever reason was not deleted. In fact, this can save your bacon sometimes because it gives you a 'backup' of that page to which you can revert in the event of something catastrophic.
In the larger picture, there is no benefit to using site root relative links UNLESS you are also using server-side includes. It will make your life a bit simpler if you do not use them.
Finally, having made those links in your template file with the site root relative option enabled, changing that option to document relative will only affect NEW links, not existing ones. This is why Ken asked to see the link in your template - it's because he knows that even though you have made the option change, that old link will not be affected and will therefore fail on preview (assuming you have not enabled the temp file thing).

Spry drop down menu not working after page created from template

Hi all.
I created a template and the drop down Spry menu is working fine on local testing on my browser as follows:
I then created a New Page from this above Template. I did no alteration to this new page and just saved it as index.html but when previewing it in the browser, the Spry drop down menu is not working and the page displays as follows:
Here is my site map:
Any help to show where I am going wrong would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Dear Nancy
Very grateful for your reply.
On Design View and Preview in browsers the index.dwt page spry works fine.
When I create a child page from this template page, the child page looks fine in design view but does the spry fails to preview in browsers (the spry just shows as words and not drop down menus).
Here is the code:
