Handling in java special characters read from the database

Hello,
I have a java application which processes data from the database. During processing I have to handle some special national characters which are specified with integer codes. The codes are defined in UTF-8 and the list of these characters and their codes is constant.
How to handle them in java where char primitive type denotes characters in UTL-16, not UTF-8. Should I use class Charset and decoder like below?
Charset charset = Charset.forName("UTF-8");
CharsetDecoder decoder = charset.newDecoder();
The problem which I see here is that class CharsetDecoder provides no method which would take integer code of the character in UTF-8 and return char value (in UTF-16).
The only way I see is to provide ByteBuffer, but then I have to encode the codes of these characters in UTF-8 somehow (how?), as they have two bytes codes like 50048.
Best wishes,
Tomasz Michniewski

Please verify the followings:
Make sure that from the SharePoint front end and application servers that you can ping your SQL server.
Make sure that your Farm account has permission to the configuration database.
Lastly verify that your database didn't for some reasons go into recovery mode.
once everything is fine and you are still having issues, restart the SQL host service on the SQL server.
Once the service is restarted you will need to reboot Central Admin and then your front end servers.
In addition, as you built your farm inside the firewall, please disable the firwall, or create rules for SQL Server service in the firwall on SQL server.
More information about creating rules in firewall, please refer to the following posts: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c5d4d0d0-9a3b-4431-8150-17ccfbc6fb82/can-not-create-data-source-to-an-sql-server http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1929/configure-windows-firewall-to-work-with-sql-server/

SQL Server 2005 Database Mail - Mail configuration information could not be read from the database.

I'm trying to setup Database Mail and send a test message, but it's not working.
I've done several step-by-steps and all and I can't get it to work. Also checked several posts in this forum but none helped. I think it used to work before (2 months ago) but we had to turn it off.
I've enabled it in Surface Configuration, have tried recreating all profiles, restarted SQL Agent, checked version mismatch...
I check the Database Mail and I get the following message:

How to retrieve characters like '£' from the database and write to xml file

Hi ,
I have a requirement to retrieve the data from database and write to files in XML format.
I am able to do so successfuly by using XMLElement tag and writing to file through UTL_File package.
All characters like <&@^ get converted properly, but when it comes to multibyte chars like '£', they are not able to get converted as it is.
Can somebody please advise me how to go ahead.
Regards

Thanks odie.
The nls_charset for my database is WE8ISO8859P1 and database version is Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.5.0 - 64bi.
The data (with pound sign) is sitting in one of the columns of the table and when i query it directly, I am able to view it properly.
However when I use the below code to retrieve in XML format and print it to file, it gets changed. This file is also passed to one of the application GUI where this XML gets processsed and it is not visible properly.
below id the sample abstract of code I am using.
Declare
l_file UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
l_clob CLOB;
l_buffer VARCHAR2(32767);
l_amount BINARY_INTEGER := 32767;
l_pos INTEGER := 1;
Begin
SELECT XMLElement("case",
XMLElement("comments",
XMLElement("comment",
XMLElement("comments",a.COMMENTS)
).getClobVal() val1 into l_clob
FROM TO_COMMENTS a
l_file :=
UTL_FILE.fopen (XMLDIR,
test.xml,
'w',
32767);
LOOP
DBMS_LOB.read (l_clob,
l_amount,
l_pos,
l_buffer);
UTL_FILE.put_line (l_file, l_buffer);
l_pos := l_pos + l_amount;
END LOOP;
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.NEW_LINE('Reached end of file');
END;
The comments column given contains the character like pound.
And once the file is generated and i see using the vi editor, the char is not viewable properly like Â£
And when the same is passed to GUI application to be processed, its not viewable propely in GUI from IE as well like �.

Java - Write And Read From memory Like CheatEngine ( Writing not working?)

Hello Oracle Forum
I came here some time ago to ask about javaFX , i solved all my issues and im right now waiting for javaFx tot ake over swing and hmm, im working on learning LIBGDX to create games in java.
However, im in need to create an app to change values of memory to fix a bug in an old program that i have, and the only way until now is using cheatEngine, So i decided to take a tutorial and learn how to do that in java.
Well, im able to read from the memory but the write isnt working somehow... Im posting the code here, if anyone can give me a hint, i would thank and a lot, because theres a community that really needs this app to automate the fix without using cheat engine.

Hello there,
this tutorial was exactly what I needed, so thank you.
Your problem seems to be in this line:
int writeMemory = writeMemory(writeprocess, address, new short[0x22222222]);
The problem is, you're creating a new short array with the length of 0x22222222. Which not only results in an java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
but also, if it would work, would create an empty array with the length of 0x22222222.
I think you want to write 0x22222222 as value in your address.
Correctly stored the code you'd need to write would be:
short[] sarray = new short[]{(short) 0x22222222};
But because the value is too long for the short, the value stored in your array would be the number 8738.
I think, what you want to do is to store the number 572662306, which would be the hex value, stored in an int variable.
So first of all you need to strip down your hex-value to shorts:
Short in Java uses 16 Bit = 2 Byte. 0x22222222 -> 0x2222 for your high byte and 0x2222 for your low byte
So your array would be
short[] sarray = new short[]{0x2222,0x2222};//notice, that sarray[0] is the lowbyte and sarray[1] the high byte, if you want to store 20 it would be new short[]{20,0} or if you use hex new short[]{0x14,0x00}
The next part is your writeToMemory Method. If I'm right, the method in the tutorial is a little bit wrong. The right version should be this:
public static int writeMemory(Pointer process, int address, short[] data) {
IntByReference written = new IntByReference(0);
int size = data.length*Short.SIZE/8;
Memory toWrite = new Memory(size);
for (int i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
toWrite.setShort(i*Short.SIZE/8,
data[i]);
boolean b = kernel32.WriteProcessMemory(process, address, toWrite,
size, written);
return written.getValue();
You need to calculate your offset right. And the size of your memory. Maybe you could write this method not with shorts, but with integers. But this should work.
If you pass your new array to this function, it should write 0x22222222 to your adress. If you read out your toWrite value with toWrite.getInt(0) you get the right value.
And there is one more thing. In order to write data to a process, you need to grant two access rights:
A handle to the process memory to be modified. The handle must have PROCESS_VM_WRITE and PROCESS_VM_OPERATION access to the process.
You have to grant the right to write data: PROCESS_VM_WRITE: 0x0020 and PROCESS_VM_OPERATION: 0x0008
So your writeProcess needs to get initialized this way:
Pointer writeprocess = openProcess(0x0020|0x0008,pid);
I hope this works for you. Let me know.
Greetings
Edit:
Because every data you write will be 1 byte to whatever count of byte I think the best way is to use the following method to write data to the memory:
public static void writeMemory(Pointer process, long address, byte[] data)
int size = data.length;
Memory toWrite = new Memory(size);
for(int i = 0; i < size; i++)
toWrite.setByte(i, data[i]);
boolean b = kernel32.WriteProcessMemory(process, address, toWrite, size, null);
You can see some changes. First I changed all address values from int to long, because some addresses are out of range. And with all, i mean all. Not only in writeMemory, but also in readMemory and in your kernel32 Class.
Second I don't use the IntByReference anymore..
To use this method you need to store your data the following way if you would write 4 Byte data:
byte[] values = new byte[]{0x14,0x00,0x00,0x00};
This value would be the number 20. Index 0 will be the lowest byte and index 3 will be the highest byte.
And one more thing I wrote is an method which you can use to calculate your address if you have a baseAddress.
If you restart your program/game your old addresses won't point at the same values of your game. With some research (I use CheatEngine) you can get the baseaddress. This one will alway be the same.
To get from your baseaddress to the dynamic adress you use offsets.
public static long findDynAddy(Pointer process, int[] offsets, long baseAddress)
long pointer = baseAddress;
int size = 4;
Memory pTemp = new Memory(size);
long pointerAddress = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < offsets.length; i++)
if(i == 0)
kernel32.ReadProcessMemory(process, pointer, pTemp, size, null);
pointerAddress = ((pTemp.getInt(0)+offsets[i]));
if(i != offsets.length-1)
kernel32.ReadProcessMemory(process, pointerAddress, pTemp, size, null);
return pointerAddress;
This methods gets a process, an array of offsets (hex-values) and your baseadress and returns the dynamic address.
For Solitaire the following code would give you the address to the score:
long baseAddr = 0x10002AFA8L;
int[] offsets = new int[]{0x50,0x14};
long addr = findDynAddy(process, offsets, baseAddr);
If somebody wants to get the whole code (user32, kernel32 and the cheater) just pm me and I will give you a link.

When you attempt to encode media with Adobe Media Encoder CS4 on Windows, the following error message appears in the text file (AMEEncodingErrorLog.txt) that opens when you click the error icon: "Encoding Failed. Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted."
If it's that correct, you removed an earlier version of Adobe Premiere Pro or Adobe Creative Suite on the same computer.
Do one or both of the following solutions:
Solution 1: Create a shortcut to the Premiere Pro executable file, rename the shortcut to Premiere, and move the shortcut to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink.
Close all Adobe applications.
In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. (If you installed Premiere Pro CS4 in a location other than the default of C:\Program Files\Adobe, then navigate to your custom installation location.)
Right-click on Adobe Premiere Pro.exe (which might appear without the .exe extension) and choose Create Shortcut.
Rename the newly created shortcut to just Premiere.
Important: The name of the shortcut must be exactly Premiere with no other characters.
Open a second Windows Explorer window, and navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink.
Move the Premiere shortcut that you created into the dynamiclink folder.
Solution 2: Remove and reinstall all Premiere Pro CS4 components or all Adobe Creative Suite 4 components.
Do one of the following:
Windows XP: Choose Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.
Windows Vista: Choose Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features.
In the list of installed programs, select Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium, or Adobe Creative Suite 4 Master Collection.
Click Change/Remove (Windows XP) or Uninstall (Windows Vista).
Follow the on-screen instructions to remove all components of Premiere Pro CS4 (including Adobe Encore CS4 and Adobe OnLocation CS4) or to remove all components of your edition of Adobe Creative Suite 4.
Re-install your Adobe software.

How to print the content in Reverse which is read from the file

i have written a program to display the content of the file using files concept. now the task is how to display it in reverse order i.e from last to first which is read from the file.

If it will all fit in memory read the file as you are doing now appending everything into a StringBuilder. Then use the reverse() method of that class to obtain your output.

What's wrong with the built-in keyboard on my macbook? The caps button does not work rite, no matter what letter button i push they all come out capitals and the number keys when pushed display the special characters instead of the numbers!

the built-in keyboard on my macbook is not functioning right, the number keys when pushed display the special characters instead of the numbers,
the caps button doesn't work at all, the letter buttons display capitals when pushed whether the caps button is on or off, the shift keys are also out of whack!!
It seems it somehow got relocated to the "0" button because if you push and hold the zero button down the keyboard seems to operate normally, the number keys display numbers when pushed the letter keys display lower case when pushed but release the zero button and your back in the twilight zone!! Can anybody help me resolve this issue? one more thing im using an external usb keyboard right now and it seems to function properly if that helps any.

You would do better in the actual macbook pro forums (this is not).

i have tried creaeted a NEW Premiere Pro project and still get the same error again ... can someone help me to figure out what is wrong ...

Hi Neil
I have been using file names with spaces and it has been working fine. As stated in reply to Jones, uninstall and reinstall of Premiere Pro CS4 has helped to get rid of this error.
also i did not use Dynamic link, but was trying to create MPEG file using Media Encoder and then import it in Encore.
your suggestion for H264 seems good and will try it.
x264 Pro is for CS5 and above versions, so it seems i can not use it and have to manage with Adobe Media Encoder's default. Hope i will not have any major technical issues.
please suggest me for below:-
1) i have 4 hours of Full HD footage and made 1080i MPEG2 files of 30mbps to fit in 2 seperate Bluray Disks.
2) now i plan to put all in one Single Bluray Disk by reducing MPEG2 file average data rate to 15mbps. will that work or is there any limitation of time in Bluray Disk.
3) Will it be ok to create H264 files at 30mbps [as you mentioned H264 reduces file size to half of MPEG] and still be able to fit 4 hours footage in one BR Disk ?
4) even though i specify Min 10 Target 25 Max 30 data rate for MPEG files creation, it creats file at data rate of 30 mbps, can you explain why it is happening as i thought my target rate should be 25 mbps and not the maximum rate specified.
Thanks ...
PS...
my source file is .mov 1920 x 1080i 29.97 fps from Canon 6D. first i tried to create progressive file in Encoder but while imported in Encore realised at 29.97 fps, it allows only interlaced file and had to transcode back to interlaced. so i stick to interlaced file.
Canon 6D also allows me to shoot in 24fps [motion movie] which Encore can handle as progressive file for authoring. What are the pro and cons of shooting in 24fps, if you can suggest.

I dont know why, but after 3 hours of processing I get this error. I encapsulated my main with try/catch but nothing is caught. Nor is there a traceback.

I don't have any idea to offer on what the problem is. However, here are some suggestions:
Perhaps you can provide an example of your code and/or a more through description of what it does so someone might see something wrong with the code.
I assume you print out the entire stack trace using somthing like this, so you can get the entire stack trace:
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
and not something like this:
System.out.println( e.getMessage());
You can also consider peppering your code with System.out.println() statements (or write to the log file) to get a better understanding of whats going on and where it crashes.
What is jgps.RTI.jar? Is that a jar file you created or a vendor jar file? If its a vendor jar file, you might research their web site on how to use it.

When reading from the file validate the date 'DD/MM/YYYY' format

Hi,
reading from the file ,validate the date format 'DD/MM/YYYY'.
Thanks & regards
venkata

I suppose that you are writing a program in some programming language, probably PL/SQL. So, you can use TO_DATE function and handle the exception when it occurs.
create or replace procedure tstdt
as
stdt varchar(10);
dt date;
begin
stdt := '20/10/2006';
dt := to_date(stdt);
dbms_output.put_line('date is correct
exception
when others then
dbms_output.put_line('Invalid Date');
end;[],

Have you been able to resolve this yet? I don't have any reference to Oracle error codes but would suspect a quick Google of something like 'Oracle error code 997' should result in good information, since it is an Oracle error...
Hope this helps.

How read from the HDMI Input Port?

Pulling down the Add Media menu in my Premiere Elements 11 window, I do not see an HDMI port input.
My Dell XPS ONE PC (running Win 8.1 Pro) has an HDMI Input port.
I would like to pull audio/video off this port into Premiere Elements 11 to edit and save to a disk file.
Any ideas on this?
Thank you!

AT,
Thank you for your reply.
First to comment on DV, HDV data capture. Yes, reading Adobe documentation I see the Premier Elements data capture works with Firewire.
For example, one Adobe document is at:
http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/setting-system.html
The HDMI port in this diagram is an output port on the camcorder and connects to a TV set. That way the user can monitor the data capture in progress.
I suspect that most PC's and laptops, like the DV/HDV camcorder labeled with letter "D." in the Adobe diagram have an HDMI output port only. The intent is to put the screen or video content out to an external TV.
Some PC's now, as does my Dell XPS, include an HDMI input port. It is connector # 15 on the diagram for the XPS at
ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_xps_desktop/xps-one-27-2710- aio_Setup%20Guide_en-us.pdf
To make my post brief and concise I purposely left out any detail about the input device. I believe HDMI stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface. I want to assume some high definition (and therefore high speed) digital data stream accompanied by a digital audio stream is coming into the PC. Whatever HDMI supports, the HDMI hardware on the PC input port should handle.
As one example, I should be able to play a file from my DVR into the PC over the HDMI input port. This might be a saved TV show or a clip from a DV/HDV camera recording.
That's just an example. But, what I am trying to do is recover the video/audio off an old Samsung SCL901 Hi8 camcorder. I was asked and I told my acquaintance I would try.
The camcorder interface is the legacy S-video port. A second audio port (3.5 mm female jack) carries (as you know) only mono audio (left side in the stereo cable).
One thing to do is to play the camcorder Hi8 tape into my DVR. The DVR has a legacy S-Video port and phono plugs for the audio right in the front panel. Then burn a DVD. Then put the DVD in the PC, read it into Premier Elements and edit the material.
Instead, what I'd like to do is play the tape right into the PC. There seems to be a lot of legacy media that folks have just let sit around way too long. And now the world has passed them by. Enough people that apparently some companies have built converters.
I looked at this S-video to HDMI converter.
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Composite-S-Video-and-HDMI-to-HDMI-Converter-and-Switch-w-HDMI-P AL-NTSC-Support/39457809
This is a Roku brand S-Video to HDMI converter. It upsamples the legacy 480i to 720p or 1080p HDMI digital signal.
The Roku converter appears to get the S-Video into the PC hardware. Then what?
It was sort of wishful thinking pulling down the “Add Media” menu tab in Premier Elements 11, wanting to read from the HDMI Input port.
Still, Adobe does magical things, so I thought I would ask in this forum.
So “Yes” to your add-on question at the end of your post. I was thinking of capture via HDMI. And I agree with your first impression that this is not possible.
It could be there is software available from somewhere that will dump the HDMI port on the PC directly into an AVI, MOV, Microsoft, Flash, mpeg, DVD or some other standard file format. Then Premier Elements can open the file for further editing.
AT, I appreciate your response and comments on this project. They have been useful guides. Thank you so much for your time.

Java Applet that reads from file

I'm quite new to java, I'm fiddling around with it for a nonprofit organization.
I have a java program that reads from a specified file and generates output but my final goal is a search box on the website that will take user input, run it through my program which searches through a prespecified file, and generate output.
I'd appreciate any help.

What can I do with this? I need it to be a String because I'm breaking it down to Tokens.
Thanks,
-Grant
Scanner input = null; //input is going to be the Scanner object
input = new Scanner(new BufferedReader(new FileReader("test.txt"))); /*setting up the Scanner object "input" to read the file "test.txt"*/
String words = null;
String MyArray[] = new String[5000];
while (input.hasNext()) { //Puts ALL the file's data into one string
words = words + " " + input.next(); /*Without that space the string "words" contains is all just one word making it unTokenizable*/
}

Windows Easy Transfer (WET) Issues with External Hard Drive - "Can't read from the source file or disk"

I work for Office Depot, in the tech department. Basically, one of our associates was supposed to do a data backup, and re-install Windows 7, then transfer the files back. He used Windows Easy Transfer and compacted everything into a 163 GB file.
Now comes the hard part. When we try to put it back on his computer ((drag-and-drop to the desktop) which has been wiped back to factory settings using the recovery partition), it stops at 79.5 GB remaining (you know how it doesn't give you a % of completion,
it just shows how many GB are remaining) and then says "Can't read from the source file or disk" and gives you an option to try again, or cancel. It gets hung up on the same point each time.
Normally, this wouldn't be a huge issue, but the contents on the drive are his wife's architect blueprints and interior design stuff, along with wedding photos, etc, which are the only copies they have. On top of those, they have court documents and other
important files that we are unable to access now.
I wasn't involved with this transfer, so I'm trying to clean up the mess as best I can. I remembered that the customer's wife was Russian, and had some files typed with a Russian keyboard, so on and so forth. I wonder if that's the issue? If not, I really
have no idea how to manually extract things from a ".mig" file, or how to diagnose what area is potentially corrupted.
In light of this situation, we tried using "Recuva" to recover the files post-wipe, but everything was corrupted or unable to be opened, and it also extracted and recovered all of the "useless" photos, such as the skype logos, up and
down arrows for browsers, etc (it was 160,000+ photos).
Trying to avoid a potential lawsuit, unhappy customer, and costing the company lots of money to see if professionals can get into this external hard drive.
Other relevant information:
We used a Toshiba 500 GB (465 GB) external hard drive.
Customer's computer is an HP Pavilion P6000 Series (Model No. p6520y) running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1.
Any other information that is needed can be provided, thanks in advance, and hopefully we can find a solution to this issue quickly!
-John

I think there's a lack of understanding somewhere.
"If you even can't start the process, please unplug it from your new PC. Then head back to your new computer and plug
the external drive back in to your new computer. "
Unplug from new, head back to new, plug it back in? That doesn't make much sense! Haha.
I knew what you meant though, somewhat. When I search through the drives after clicking yes (Has windows easy transfer
already saved your files blah blah blah) I click on the transfer file and it says "Windows Easy Transfer could not open the file".
Rather than drag-and-drop the file to the desktop, I now tried to double-click on the file itself while it was plugged
into the computer. It opened, and it started transferring until it was about 70% completed, and then an error popped up saying "WET can't open the easy transfer file, make sure your USB device is plugged in or check your internet connection".
I checked, and the USB hard drive's light wasn't on. Now, I unplug it and plug it back in, and the light comes back on,
so I click Retry, and it resets the bar back to nothing and says "Transfer time: 1 minute".
Rather than continue trying, I clicked "Cancel" instead of Retry, and it says "Your transfer did not complete successfully."
It says to click "view report" for more information, but there's no "view report button".
At the moment, I am scanning the External Drive for bad sectors using the check disk tool in properties. It's frozen
at "0 USN bytes processed".
