Help with Hash Function in Properties

Hi, I need to know the algorithm of the Hash Function that is used by Java in its HashMap, Properties, etc... classes.
Can I get it somewhere or is it private? I need it for documentation purposes.
Thanks!
Sigurd

Hi.
You can download the source for the entire JDK from the usual download locations, so you can see the details of the implementation there. If you're looking for a higher level description, I don't know where you'd find that, other than a few pages which document general ways to get well distributed hashes; look at http://java.sun.com/developer/Books/effectivejava/Chapter3.pdf for an example of this - a chapter from the mighty Joshua Bloch's 'Effective Java'.

How to encrypt password with hash function in Java?

Hello, everybody!
I will need to store user passwords in a database, but for stronger security I want to store these passwords hashed, so I know I will need a column for the password and for the salt value.
So, I'd like that you indicate me a very good article or tutorial (preferable from Sun) that shows me how to use Java to encrypt and decrypt passwords with hash. It doesn't necessarily need to deal with database. I can implement this part myself after seeing how Java manage encryption with hash functions.
Thank you very much.
Marcos

I will tell you more precisely what I want to get better for you to help me.
As I said I implemented in .NET what I need to implement in Java now. In my
database I have a table with this structure (I omitted that columns that are not
necessary to our discussion):
CREATE TABLE EMPLOYEES
ID NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
PASSWORD VARCHAR(40), -- password encrypted
HASH_SALT VARCHAR(10) -- salt value used to encrypt password
So, in the table I have a column to store the password encrypted and a column to
store the salt value.
Below is a little utility class (in C#) that I use to generate the salt and
the hashed password.
public static class PasswordUtilities
    public static string GenerateSalt()
        RNGCryptoServiceProvider encoder = new RNGCryptoServiceProvider();
        byte[] buffer = new byte[5];
        encoder.GetBytes(buffer);
        return Convert.ToBase64String(buffer);
    public static string EncryptPassword(string password, string salt)
        string encryptedPassword =
            FormsAuthentication.HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile(
            password + salt, "SHA1");
        return encryptedPassword;
}As you can see, the class is fairly simple. It only has two methods: one to
generate the salt value that will be used to encrypt the password and another
one to encrypt the password. The method HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile of
the FormsAuthentication class is what really hash the password with the salt
value. This class belongs to the .NET library, so we can't see its source code,
but it doesn't matter for our discussion as I know that we can implement
something similar in Java.
Below is a little sample code showing the use of the utility class above to
encrypt a password.
public class Encrypt
    public static void Main(string args[])
        string password = "Secret";
        string salt = PasswordUtilities.GenerateSalt();
        string encryptedPassword = PasswordUtilities.EncryptPassword(password, salt);
        // now I store 'encryptedPassword' in the PASSWORD column and 'salt'
        // in the HASH_SALT column in the EMPLOYEES table.
}To verify if a password is correct I can use the code below:
public class VerifyPassword
    public static void Main(string args[])
        string password = GetPasswordFromUser();
        // Let's assume that employee is an instance that corresponds to a row
        // in the database and the properties HashSalt and Password correspond
        // to the HASH_SALT and PASSWORD columns respectively.
        Employee employee = GetEmployeeFromDatabase(1);
        string salt = employee.HashSalt;
        string encryptedPassword = PasswordUtilities.EncryptPassword(password, salt);
        bool passwordMatch = employee.Password.Equals(encryptedPassword);
        System.Console.WriteLine(passwordMatch);
}The only thing that interest me in this discussion is the PasswordUtilities class.
As you saw its code is in C#, using the .NET framework libraries.
What I want is to have this same little class coded in Java, to generate the salt
value and to encrypt the password passed in using salt value generated. If you could
help me to do that with articles that have what I want or with code that already do
that I would really appreciate.
Thank you in advance.

Help with stored function

Hi...I was wondering if I could get help with this function. How do i write a function to return hours between a begin date and an end date for an employee. Thanks so much

select (date2-date1)/24 from dual;date2-date1 is amount of days. Divide it by 24 and what? if you multiply it on 24 you will have a chance to know how many hours between these two dates. :-)Don't forget that a DATE type also includes a time component.I suppose it doesn't matter if you did a difference between two dates. The result is always number of days.

Help with ASO function

Hi all,
I need some help with ASO mdx function.
Avg({Leaves([Employees].Currentmember)}, [Calculated_Field]). This will give me the average for Calculated_Field for all levels of Employees. But i want to add more dimensions like Region and year.
Please advice how can I achieve this.
Thanks

you have to use cross join in order to add more dimension members to the formula.This will give you some idea

How can I achieve this using Analytic Function(s)?
Thanks.

Hi,
That's called String Aggregation , and the following site shows many ways to do it:
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/StringAggregationTechniques.php
Which one should you use? That depends on which version of Oracle you're using, and your exact requirements.
For example, is order importatn? You said the results shoudl include:
CLIENT_ID COUNTRIES
1        USA, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, China, India, Korea, Brazil, Mexicobut would you be equally happy with
CLIENT_ID COUNTRIES
1        Australia, France, Germany, China, India, Korea, Brazil, Mexico, USA, Canadaor
CLIENT_ID COUNTRIES
1        Australia, France, Germany, USA, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, China, India, Korea?
Mwalimu wrote:

If you'd like help, post your best attempt, a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements), the results you want from that data, and an explanation of how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using.

Help with Sort function in Terminal

Hello all... this is my first post on here as I'm having some trouble with some Termianl commands. I'm trying to learn Terminal at the moment as it is but I would appreciate some help with this one....
I'm trying to sort a rather large txt file into alphabetical order and also delete any duplicates. I've been using the following command in Terminal:
sort -u words.txt > words1.txt
but after a while I get the following error
sort: string comparison failed: Illegal byte sequence
sort: Set LC_ALL='C' to work around the problem.
sort: The strings compared were `ariadnetr\345dens\r' and `ariadnetr\345ds\r'.
What should my initial command be? What is Set LC_ALL='C'?
Hope you guys can help?

Various languages distinct sorting - collation - sequences.
The characters can and variously do sort differently, depending on what language is involved.
Languages here can include the written languages of humans, and a few settings associated with programming languages. This is all part of what is known as internationalization and localization, and there are are various documents around on that topic.
The LC_ALL environment variable sets all of the locale-related settings en-mass, including the collation sequence that is established via LC_COLLATE et al, and the sort tool is suggesting selecting the C language collation.
Here, the tool is suggesting the following syntax:
LC_ALL=C sort -u words.txt > words1.txt
This can also be done by exporting the LC_ALL, but it's probably better to just do this locally before invoking the tool.
Also look at the lines of text in question within the files, and confirm the character encoding of the file.
Files can have different character encodings, and there's no reliable means to guess the encoding. For some related information, see the file command:
file words.txt
...and start reading some of the materials on internationalization and localization that are posted around the 'net. Here's Apple's top-level overview.
In this case, it looks like there's an "odd" character and probably an å character on that line and apparently the Svenska ariadnetrådens.
Switching collation can help here, or - if the character is not necessary - removing it via tr or replacing it via sed can be equally effective solutions.
Given it appears to be Svenska, it might work better to switch to Svenska collation thanto the suggested C collation.
I think that's going to be sv_SE, which would make the command:
LC_ALL=sv_SE sort -u words.txt > words1.txt
This is all generic bash shell scripting stuff, and not specific to OS X. If you haven't already seen them, the folks over at tldp have various guides including a bash guide for beginners, and an advanced bash scripting guide - both can be worth skimming. They're not exactly the same as bash on OS X and some specific commands and switches can differ, and as bash versions can differ, but bash is quite similar across all the platforms.

Help with bash function(set background=dark/light in vimrc)

I couldn't find any gvimrc files so I guess it uses the regular one. And since I work pretty much in X too I thought it would be nice with a function that sets background=light if I'm in X an background=dark if not. Is that possible?
/Richard

vimrc configuration is not the same as bash.
You probably want something like this in your ~/.vimrc:
if has('gui_running')
set background=light
else
set background = dark
endif

Help with problem specifying text properties (style & antiAliasMethod)

I would be very grateful if someone could help me figure out what I am doing wrong in specifying certain text properties, namely style and antiAliasMethod. I have tried many different things and consulted the JavaScript Reference Guide, Tools Guide and PS CS4 Scripting Guide, as well as several example scripts, but I can't seem to find the information needed.
The snippet of code below adds a text layer to a document and places text on it; What I want is white Arial bold 10 point text with no antialiasing (this would appear as "none" in the PS CS4 text tool dialog). This code does everything except get the bold property and the antialiasing = none property. Instead, what this code produces is white Arial normal (not bold) crisp (not none) text,
My attempt to get no antialiasing instead of "crisp" causes an execution error, so that line is commented out below. The line setting style to "BOLD" does not create an execution error, but it doesn't give me bold, either (instead I get normal).
I am certain these errors mean I do not understand the correct way to express the code to set these properties. Can someone set me straight about how to do this?
Thanks.
        // Create a new text layer at the top of the document
        var myLayerRef = newDocRef.artLayers.add();
        myLayerRef.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;
        myLayerRef.name = "Test";
        var myTextRef = myLayerRef.textItem;
        // Set the text color, font, size, etc.
        var textColor = new SolidColor;
        textColor.rgb.red = 255;
        textColor.rgb.green = 255;
        textColor.rgb.blue = 255;
        myTextRef.color = textColor;
        myTextRef.font = "ArialMT";
        myTextRef.style = "BOLD";
//        myTextRef.antiAliasMethod = "NONE";
        myTextRef.size = 10;
        // Set the text position, blend mode and opacity
        var tx = 10;
        var ty = 50;
        myTextRef.position = new Array(tx,ty);
        myLayerRef.blendMode = BlendMode.NORMAL;
        myLayerRef.opacity = 100;
        // Insert the text
        myTextRef.contents = "Hello World";

Update:
I discovered how to fix both problems myself.
The antialiasing was fixed by statement: myTextRef.antiAliasMethod = AntiAlias.NONE;
The bold problem was fixed by changing the font name to "Arial-BoldMT" and deleting the statement which attempted to set the style to "BOLD".
Thanks for your interest. No further help is needed on this issue.

Help with a Function-module

Hi again forum:

Help with Java function

Hi all,
I am suppose to write a java function for the following source and target structure:
<u>Source Structure</u>
Root A (0..unbounded)
|_ A
Root B (0..unbounded)
|_ B
Root C (0..unbounded)
|_ C
<u>Target Structure</u>
Root_target (0..unbounded)
   |_ T
Based upon every occurrence of A, B and C, i have to first compare their values and for every unique value i have to create a separate instance of 'T'
i.e. if all the three A, B and C are different the output should be:
Root_target (0..unbounded)
   |_ T (for A)
Root_target (0..unbounded)
   |_ T (for B)
Root_target (0..unbounded)
   |_ T (for C)
I am writing a java function in the graphical mapping for it, but i am stuck with the code to create target segments dynamically.
Any help in this regards is appreciated.
Regards,
Varun

Hi Varun,
I understood unique values form A,B,C need to map to T.
In this case change the context of all these A,B,C to their respective parent node.
write a user define function to accept these 3 queues , write a java logic to fiund uniqueness among all the records, add the resulkt to Resultset , which is output map to T.
Thanks,

Need help with effect / function stop!

Hi all!
I tried to build some kind of custom pop-up-menu with fade
in/out effect, however the menu sometimes (< very often, but not
always) disappears while the mouse is still over it.
So i defined a function to stop/abort the effects, but this
doesn't work right.
Could anybody please tell me, how to stop all functions,
while the mouse is over a link?
/// This is the container to appear / disappear:
<div id="navislide" style="height:292px;
overflow:hidden;">
<a href="mylink.html" onMouseOver="killall();"
onMouseOut="hideit();">mylink</a>
</div>
/// This is the link to show the container:
<a href="#"
onMouseOver="slidefadein.start();">mylink</a>
<script type="text/javascript">
function displayblock() {
var thediv = document.getElementById('navislide');
thediv.style.display= "block";
slidetimer = setTimeout('slidefadeout.start();', 2000);
hideit = function() {
slidetimer = setTimeout('slidefadeout.start();', 2000);
function displaynone() {
var thediv = document.getElementById('navislide');
thediv.style.display= "none";
killall = function() {
clearTimeout(slidetimer);
slidefadeout.stop();
slidefadein.stop();
displayblock();
slidefadeup.start();
var slidefadein = new Spry.Effect.Fade("navislide", {from:0,
to:100, toggle:false, setup:displayblock, finish:hideit});
var slidefadeout = new Spry.Effect.Fade("navislide",
{from:100, to:0, toggle:false, finish:displaynone});
var slidefadeup = new Spry.Effect.Fade("navislide",
{from:100, to:100, toggle:false});
</script>
Probably, its all about the "killall"-function, because when
the mouse moves over the link, the function to abort all other
effects, does not take effect.
Thank you so much vor any kind of help or hint!!
Cheers,
idefix

I would be most interested in a reply to this for I asked
weeks ago how to use an onClick stop() function for the links in my
page. I was given the stop function by VFusion (it is to stop
panels from rotating), but I could never figure out how to actually
get the function to stop the panels and could not get it no matter
what I tried, eventually had to take the panel rotation out.

Help with analytical function

I successfully use the following analytical function to sum all net_movement of a position (key for a position: bp_id, prtfl_num, instrmnt_id, cost_prc_crncy) from first occurrence until current row:
SELECT SUM (net_movement) OVER (PARTITION BY bp_id, prtfl_num, instrmnt_id, cost_prc_crncy ORDER BY TRUNC (val_dt) RANGE BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND 0 FOLLOWING) holding,
what i need is another column to sum net_movement of a position but only for the current date, but all my approaches fail..
- add the date (val_dt) to the 'partition by' clause and therefore sum only values with same position and date
SELECT SUM (net_movement) OVER (PARTITION BY val_dt, bp_id, prtfl_num, instrmnt_id, cost_prc_crncy ORDER BY TRUNC (val_dt) RANGE BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND 0 FOLLOWING) today_net_movement
- take the holding for the last date and subtract it from the current holding afterwards
SELECT SUM (net_movement) OVER (PARTITION BY bp_id, prtfl_num, instrmnt_id, cost_prc_crncy ORDER BY TRUNC (val_dt) RANGE BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND -1 FOLLOWING) last_holding,
- using lag on the analytical function which calculates holding fails too
I also want to avoid creating a table which stores the last holding..
Does anyone sees where I make a mistake or knows an alternative to get this value?
It would help me much!
Thanks in advance!

Thank you,
but I already tried that but it returns strange values which are not the correct ones for sure.
It is always the same value for each row, if its not 0, and a very high one (500500 for example), even if the sum of all net_movement of that date is 0 (and the statement for holding returns 0 too)
I also tried witch trunc(val_dt,'DDD') with the same result (without trunc it is the same issue)
please help if you can, thanks in advance!

Help with existNode function

I am using the existNode function to check whether a specific node exists or has a value for it in the XML.
So, am using it within an IF condition as below;
IF L_xml.existSNode('/ItemFamily/Style/Item/Attributes/ItemAttributes/ExtRefNo/text()') > 0 THEN
         DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('L_xml = Style exists');
END IF;
Here L_xml is my initial XML message received which is a CLOB converted to an XMLTYPE.
The above works fine.
But after I do an EXTRACT operation on the above XML to get only the portion of it (from a particular start tag to its corresponding end tag), and feed this output for my existNode function as below;
    IF L_itm_xml.existSNode('/ItemFamily/Style/Item/Attributes/ItemAttributes/ExtRefNo') > 0 THEN
         DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('itm_xml = ');
    END IF;
It does not give me the desired output.
I would like to know, if there is any restriction on the existNode usage.
Am asking this coz am a bit skeptical on whether this is happening due to XML being stripped off its header.
Could someone please help me find an answer for this.

Help With Simple Function

I was wondering if someone could help me out with a simple function I'm trying to create. I'm kind of new to functions in oracle and I don't know the exact syntax or what it expects from me. I would appreciate it if someone could look at this and point out what I'm doing wrong.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION freshman_status_term(
pidm IN varchar2
RETURN varchar2 IS term
BEGIN
SELECT sgbstdn_term_code_eff INTO term
FROM sgbstdn
WHERE sgbstdn_pidm = pidm
AND sgbstdn_styp_code = 'F'
AND sgbstdn_stst_code = 'AS'
RETURN term;
END freshman_status_term;
The goal of the function is to find out the term for when a student is listed as a freshman. I keep getting errors though, so something must be wrong with it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

AND sgbstdn_stst_code = 'AS'
RETURN term;

SELECT freshman_status_term ('216520') FROM dual;
