Hi,
take a look at this document :
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/47fe4fef-0d01-0010-6f87-ed8ecb479123
especially page 14, section 3, you have a little formula to make it.

hi Kiriakos,
which version are you using ?
please test this with reports 9i since PDF support
has been enhanced there.
to test i would suggest to run the report from rwclient
as well and specify desformat=pdf and to a generate to
file within builder to see if the same behavior occurs.
if this problem reproduces there as well i suggest
to contact oracle support to log the problem.

Issue of deploying a fusion Web Application with integrated Weblogic server

Hi,
i'm using Jdev 11.1.1.3.0 to develop a fusion web application, with a model and ViewController Projects.
When i try to deploy this application with the integrated server, i have any issues.
The origin seems to be that it builds an application with 3 profiles. The model application is recognized and deployed as a webapp and not an ADF library as it should be..

How can i fix the model project to be deployed as an ADf library and not a webapp with the integrated weblogic server ? Because with me it doesn't do it by itself.
Thanks a lot for help

Build and run Sun's PetStore1.3.1_02 application with BEA WebLogic Server 8.1.

build and run Sun's PetStore
1.3.1_02 application with BEA WebLogic Server 8.1.
5) In the same Command Prompt, compile PetStore using the commands:
cd c:\bea\user_projects\domains\petstore
setPetStoreEnv.cmd
cd c:\petstore1.3.1_02\src
ant
buildfile:build.xml does not exist!
build failed
could you tell me how ?
thank you

What we, BEA, provides is a patch to allow you to compile Pet Store for
WebLogic Server. It does not contain the source code.
Sun's Pet Store source code can be found at
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/releases/petstore/petstore1_3_1_02.h
tml. See the requirements section of README.TXT
You need both in order to make it work.

Hi Nick,
I tried building the petstore1.3.1_02 application following theinstructions in the readme. But I got an error as the buil.xml file is
missing in the directory.....\petstore1.3.1_02\src.
>
I tried unzipping the downloaded again and for a petstore.domain.jar alongwith the readme. This jar does not contain the build.xml file.
>
Then I tried compiling one by one the component folder and found that the../xmldocuments/src folder has only a build.xml file but no source file...
>
Kinldy suggest what to do? Can you send me the zip via email?
P.S: I have checked the zip and the files are missing.

Forte C application with MS SQL Server

I have a Solaris C application that talks to an CA-Ingres (Solaris) database using embedded SQL (proprietary preprocessor). I need to replace the backend with MS SQL Server 7.0 (Windows NT 4.0). I have the ODBCs for SQL Server, but I need help with replacing the proprietary C code with something that will communicate with an ODBC.

Use of Xerces Parser in out application with Oracle App Server 9.0.4

The problem in brief:
Our product is a web-app that runs under various Application servers.
One of our customers who uses Oracle App server, recently upgraded from 9.0.2 (9g) to 9.0.4 (10g), and our product no longer works with the latter version.
Our product uses XML parser Xerces 1.1.
In 9.02 it was possible to replace the App servers parser with Xerces 1.1. In 9.02 it was possible to replace the App servers parser with Xerces 1.1 (We modified the opmn.xml file, setting the Java options for our oc4j instance bootclasspath with xerces parser). Hence, our product works.
In 9.0.4, apparently, Oracle moved to a different parser, and it no longer allows the parser to be replaced. If the bootclasspath is modified with XERCES(tested various versions of xerces) parser, rightfully so ORACLE Application server does not start.
Unlike other prominent Application Servers (such as webshpere etc,) the Oracle application server does not support separate JVMs or namespaces for web-apps either.
We like, oralce application server, OC4J instance for our application to use the xerces parser version qualified with our product. We understand, replacing the XML parser for the entire Oracle Application Server is not supported function.
Since, Oracle Application Server is loading the oracle 'xmlparserv2' at system class path, though the applicaton has xerces.jar in application path (either in AppLib or web-inf/lib directory, Its not a class loading issue) it is not getting used (since javax.xml.parsers.documentbuilderFactory is mapped to oracle parser).
So, it looks like the only option available to us is to modify our product to use Oracle's XML parser. This is a major software change, and we want to keep it as last resort option.
Any suggestion and help will be higly appreciated.

Raju --
Thanks for the intelligent posting on a difficult issue for you.
I wasn't aware of anything specifically being introduced that prevented the bootclasspath technique from working** in the 904 release.
For 904, the bootclasspath needs to be put in the start parameters tag of the java-options tag.
<process-type id="home" module-id="OC4J" status="enabled">
<module-data>
<category id="start-parameters">
<data id="java-options" ... -Xbootclasspath/a:/java/lib/xerces.jar"/>
</category>
</module-data>
</process-type>
You can also try copying the xerces.jar into the jre/lib/ext directory so it's loaded by the system classloader and see if that works**. This will put xerces at the extension level so
**these workarounds are not supported and will put you in an unsupported situation if a problem occurs.
The good news is that have taken steps to clearly enable the separation of container versus appplication class spaces in thenext production release (10.1.3) of OC4J. We will be providing a new classloading model which cleanly separates the two namespaces and allows applications to provide their own versions or distributions of class libraries with no collisions with the OC4J runtime libraries.
I don't know of any easy ways to do what you need -- other than reworking the app to use JAXP so that the parser implementation used is pluggable as you kind of allude to. If it was possible, I'd do that rather than hard coding in the use of the Oracle XML parser.
But just to reiterate, switching in xerces at the bootclasspath level is not a supported operation since it may have an effect on the OC4J runtime operation.

Synchronizing the Adobe Air application with the remote server daily

I am building a desktop application which is built in Adobe
Air using FlexBuilder3. I want my application to connect to remote
server daily at a particular time on a day and check for updates
and download them, irrespective of whether the application window
is active or it is closed.
I know how to acheive this, if the application window is
active(window is open) by setting a Timer function , but the
applcation runs into problems if the window is closed and cannot be
connected to server to check for updates.
Can I make the code work(timer function) even when the window
is closed in the background process?
Please help me out in acheiving this, I will be very
grateful....

Bump. Wondering about this too.

What am I doing wrong when running multiple applications with the Web Server enabled ?

I am running multiple Vi's (applications) on the same Nt Workstation and the Web Server is enable for all applications. However, I am able to view only one Panel from the browser. Only the first application that is started can be viewed. What am I doing wrong ?

Only one application can act as a web server at the default http port 80.
To solve this either run all VIs into a single application or use different
http ports for each application. For example an application can use the
default port 80 and others use ports 8080, 8081, 8082 etc.
In the browser, you enter the URL for non default ports as
http://hostname:8080/...

Loading pdf file in flex application (not in AIR)

Hi,
Could any one suggest opening pdf file within flex application with blazeds.
we have used the following code to open pdf file in the same window
navigateToURL( new URLRequest( "http://localhost:8080/PdfSample/jsp/PdfContent.jsp" ),"_self");
But we want to load the pdf file in a vbox.Similary to the below image
Is it is possible to load pdf file in flex application,if so how can we achieve it

Hello Mariush,
I have to display the content of the PDF in the flex application. If not PDF directly, is there other workaround for this. Or can I display the content of the MS word file, if not PDF.
Thanks and Regards

Problem : App works with Sun App server 8.0 but fails with 8.1

Hi All
     I am experiencing some strange problem with executing my JSF application with Sun App Server.
     I have an EAR deployed on Sun Application Server 8.0 and 8.1.
     Strangely it works quite fine with 8.0 but fails with 8.1.
     In my JSP page ..I have a dummy component whose getter method is used as a "FormLoad" event of the page.
     <h:form id="imageForm" enctype="multipart/form-data">
     <h:messages showDetail="true" />
     <table width="980" border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#A9B8C2">
          <tr>
<td>
               <h:inputHidden value="#{Screen1.initializeService}"/>
          <h:selectOneListbox styleClass="style2" id="cmbMiddleArea" immediate="true" value="#{Screen1.selectedMiddleArea}">
          <f:selectItems value="#{Screen1.middleAreaList}" />
     </h:selectOneListbox>
     In my backing bean i have ..
     public String getInitializeService() {
          ..... Retrieve all the data from DB to initialize all the components on the JSP page
          .......setMiddleAreaList......
          .......setSelectedMiddleArea.....
          ........set the values of the individal component...
     I am retrieving all the data from DB in this getter method and intializing the components on the JSP page.
     I have also checked the code generated for JSP by both the servers.I am posting the code here for reference although
     i did not find any significant difference between the two...

     return true;
     jspxtagPool_h_inputHidden_value_nobody.reuse(_jspx_th_h_inputHidden_0);
     return false;
     Now the actual problem is "getInitializeService" method never gets called when i deploy and run the application on Sun App Server8.1
     However with Sun App Server 8.0 it woeks perfectly fine.
     Can anybody help me in resolving these issues ?

How to ... Generate PDF from BexWAD Application with company Logo in header

Hi all profis,
I read many theories (on-line help, sdn forum, google) about creating a PDF document with pictures, logos, texts and so on, but in each of them is some "...but, limitations, only if ..."
The easiest way, I guess is to create a BexWAD Application with item "REPORT" and "ANALYSIS ITEM".
In REPORT - a crystal report page, is saved company logo with text
ANALYSIS item includes data
Via Export (into PDF) those both items has to be exported. The only topic is, how to repeat the report item on each page of a PDF document? There is a possibility to repeat column names, but not a company logos as a header.
I will ask in general -> Does someone has a solution, how to export data from SAP BI into PDF including Logo and Text(Company Adress) in header (which will repeat on each page) ??
Thank you very much for any purposes. As answer I prefer a concrete suggestions, not links to on-line help.
Have a nice day.

I have another idea to create a PDF file with company logo and hierarchical structure of data.
Via Report designer, it is not possible to display data in hierarchical structure, but it is possible to add logo (picture) into header.
Via WADWeb Application designer, it is possible to display data with a hierarchy, but a logo is not shown on each page.
Via InformationBroadcaster, there is a possibility to add into header a free text. There is an option <PR_ONLINE_LINK> . Can I create another element (new, own one), which will contain a picture? How can I edit this element <PR_ONLINE_LINK> ? Would it be possible to add there a picture?
Thank you

Writing a java program for generating .pdf file with the data of MS-Excel .

Hi all,
My object is write a java program so tht...it'll generate the .pdf file after retriving the data from MS-Excel file.

When it is reading a row from MS-Excel it is writing to the .pdf file from last cell to first cell.( 2 cell in 1 place, 1 cell in 2 place like if the row has two cells with data as : Name of the Intern: Kesavulu Reddy then it is writing to the .pdf file as Kesavulu Reddy Name of Intern)
and the second issue is:
It is not recognizing the date format..it is recognizing the date in first row only......
Plz Tell me wht is the solution for this...

Cannot generate PDF with RH10

I have searched the forum and Peter Grainge's site and not found a solution to this problem that worked.
I have a new installation of RH10 on Windows 7 sp1. It was installed as a trial and then licensed. I do not have the complete Adobe Acrobat -- only the add-on that was installed with RH.
I used RoboHelp HTML to create a simple webhelp project and attempted to generate a PDF from it with the single source layout for Printed Documentation. The following error occurred:

Internal error encountered, Failed to generate Printed Documentation.
RoboHelp can successfully create a PDF of a single topic. It can create a PDF with Review > Create PDF for Review. It can successfully create a doc from this project, and Word is able to save that doc as a pdf.
RH can open the projects that it created but cannot open the sample projects. The sample directories are read-only and I cannot reset them. I do not know why.
I uninstalled RH and reinstalled it. The problem is still occurring.
I am baffled. I am an inexperienced RH user so the problem might be a simple one. I would be grateful for any advice.
Best wishes,
Juliette Curtis

I was also facing this issue and got the same error. After much trial and error I found the following solution. So sharing that here. ( I am not sure whether this works for all the use cases. But in my case it worked. I am using Windows 7, RH11, and MS Office 2010.)
Open any Office application. (I opened Word)
Open File > Options > Add-Ins. (You will be able to manage your add-ins from this tab. When I browsed through the list I found the "Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM" Addin was with the list of "Disabled Application Add-Ins")
Select "Disabled items" from the Manage list. (This list is available at the bottom of the Add-Ins tab)
Click Go. The Disable Items window is displayed.
Select "Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin" from the list.
Click Enable.
Click Close. The "Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin" is moved to the list of "Active Application Addins".
Close MS word.
Now when you generate the Printed Documentation output from RH11, the error mentioned in the query is not appearing and a PDF output is generated.
Hope this solution will help.

Generating PDF from Microsoft Word with C#

Hello,
We have created web-based system for a customer that stores/handles Microsoft word documents and provides these to users as PDF versions. Unfortunately some problems appear with our third-party component that generates PDF from Word. Our customer has previously used Adobe Acrobat X Pro to manually generate the PDF files and is confident that the output produced this way is valid. Despite searching and reading a lot I can't find any way to determine if (and how) it is possible to automate the process of generating a PDF file from a Microsoft word file using the Adobe engine. There is a lot of SDK documentation, how to control PDF rendering in winforms applications etc. etc. All I want to do is to load an Adobe Acrobat instance, feed it with a word document and save it as a PDF on disk. From a C# app (ASP.NET). Is that possible?
Best regards
Jan Hansen

As mentioned, you can probably send the DOC file to the Adobe PDF printer to create the file. What I keep reading in your post is a legal issue. You keep mentioning being able to create the PDF on a server automatically. The server use of Acrobat is a violation of the EULA. If you are creting the files off-line for posting as has been done, there should not be a problem. However, having these created in an automated manner by the user may be an issue. Before you go much further, I would check with legal counsel about the use of Acrobat in the way you intend. If they indicate there is a problem, then your question is not needed.
Back to the issue. Try just dropping a DOC file on the Adobe PDF printer icon (you may have to open the Start>Printers to do that. See if that creates the PDF. If so, you will just need to automate that process.
