Help with using IIS as webserver

I have two DNS that maps to two application on the same instance of weblogic.
I have to use IIS as my webserver, and so I have two IIS apps that maps by path. In one of the iisproxy.ini file - WlForwardPath = / and in the other WlForwardPath = /app2
My context-root for both applications in the application.xml file is / and /app2 respectively.
However my first DNS works fine - http://app1.company.com, but the second DNS does not work if i type http://app2.company.com. If I type http://app2.company.com/app2 then it works fine. Is there some way that I can implicitly make http://app2.company.com point to http://app2.company.com/app2 ? Any help greatly appreciated.

bgeorge,
I haven't used the IIS Plugin, but in the Apache plugin, I think that there's a "PathPrepend" parameter for the plugin that I think might do what you want, i.e., you'd do a "PathPrepend=/app2".
See:
http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs81/plugins/plugin_params.html#1143055
Hope that this helps.

Help with using multiple hard drives

Is there a way to install the OS on an "external" (expresscard SSD) drive, but have all of the library and data files on the primary hard disk? I LOVE the speed on my SSD, but it's a pain finding stuff now. Is this something a RAID configuration could help with?

I have a 1 TB hard drive; but I have a 500GB and 250GB usb external hard drives.
Wouldn't it be cool if I could make the two external hard drives a RAID drive and use Time Machine to use all the 750GB of external memory to do my backups???
You can, but I would +*strongly recommend against+* it. See +Concatenated RAID+ in the Help for Disk Utility.
There are several potential problems:
Depending on how much data is on your 1 TB drive, 750 GB may not be enough to back it up. See #1 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
To set up a +Concatenated RAID+ set, both drives will be erased.
When (not if) either drive fails, you'll lose all the data on both.
Both drives must be connected any time you do a backup or want to browse your backups.
Especially with USB, if one drive wakes from sleep, or spins up, quickly enough, but the other one doesn't, the backup may fail and/or your backups may be corrupted.
For now, it looks like my only solution is to go buy a bigger external hard drive and spend more money,,,
That's your best solution +*by far.+* Anything else is taking a large risk with your backups.

Need help with using Solaris FLAR across disparate platforms

All,
I need help with what needs to be done to use solaris Flash for disaster recovery between the disparate Server platforms listed below.
I am concerned about the platform specific files that would be missing?
Note: All our servers are installed with the SUNWCprog cluster through Custom jumpstart and We use disksuite for mirroring the operating system drives.
Primary Server     Recovery Server
Sun Fire 6800     Sun Fire E2900
Sun Fire E2900     Sun Fire 6800
Sun Fire-880     Sun Fire-V440

jds2n,
Is it possible to get around installing the Entire Distribution + OEM and include only the platform specific files?
Just a thought
Example:
I would like to create a Flash Archive of a E2900 server which i plan to use to recover a 6900.
The 2900 was installed with a developer cluster.
When creating the Flash archive of the 2900 is it possible to add the 6900 platform specific files and drivers
from the Solaris CD?
Thanks

Help with using a web page from disk after saved from web

Hi, I almost forgot the little I learned about web page development, so, I'm a total noob when it comes to this and I need your help.
I saved as a complete web page on my hard disk this web page but when I open it in Firefox or IE, it doesn't display as much as I need it. I'm mostly interested in displaying the logo images as they appear on the original web page. The browsers just show them briefly when refreshing but hide them right away. I can see the image files downloaded to my hard drive and if I open the page in Dreamweaver it displays these images in the preview pane but I can't make them show in the browsers. From Dreamweaver I saved the page as in the folder where the images are and this also updated the code with the relative image links but the browsers still don't show them.
I will greatly appreciate your help with this.

I'm sorry, but your post is very confusing
I saved as a complete web page on my hard disk this web page
Does this include site definitions?
when I open it in Firefox or IE, it doesn't display as much as I need it.
I dont know what this means...are there images that are not being displayed? Is there styling that is not being rendered?
. I'm mostly interested in displaying the logo images as they appear on the original web page. The browsers just show them briefly when refreshing but hide them right away.

Do you have a link to the page, and perhaps some explanation that is more clear as to what your issue is.

Help with using multiple languages using "aspx?lang="

Hello all I am working on a project on an IIS server and the admin wants to use the "?lang=" to select which pages load up depending on what URL the user types into the browser.
I am unfamiliar with how this works and after a few searches I am not finding any info that explains it for someone unfamiliar with it.
Could someone be so kind as to link me to a good tutorial or simply explain the basics of how this works so that I could research it more myself?
Any help/info is appreciated!
Thank you in advance

Selecting a language through a URL is just one aspect of a content management system. You should research/google 'content management system' to find a CMS (or create a CMS) that supports multiple languages.
Or do you already have a CMS?

NEED HELP WITH USING STATIC METHOD - PLEASE RESPOND ASAP!

I am trying to set a value on a class using a static method. I have defined a servlet attribute (let's call it myAttribute) on my webserver. I have a serlvet (let's call it myServlet) that has an init() method. I have modified this init() method to retrieve the attribute value (myAttribute). I need to make this attribute value accessible in another class (let's call it myOtherClass), so my question revolves around not knowing how to set this attribute value on my other class using a static method (let's call it setMyStuff()). I want to be able to make a call to the static method setMyStuff() with the value of my servlet attribute. I dont know enough about static member variables and methods. I need to know what to do in my init() method. I need to know what else I need to do in myServlet and also what all I need in the other class as well. I feel like a lot of my problems revolve around not knowing the proper syntax as well.
Please reply soon!!! Thanks in advance.

class a

Help with using Scanner Class

Hi there - I'm a newbie to Java and may have posted this in the wrong forum previously.
I am trying to modify a program so instead of using a BufferReader, a scanner class will be used. It is basically a program to read in a name and then display the variable in a line of text.
Being new to Java and a weak programmer, I am getting in a mess with this and missing something somewhere. I don't think I'm using scanner in the correct way.
Any help or pointers would be good. There are 2 programs of code being used. 'Sample' and 'Run Sample'
Thanks in advance.
Firstly, this program will run named 'Sample'
<code>
* Sample.java
* Class description and usage here.
* Created on 15 October 2006
package internetics;
* @author John
* @version 1.2
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.io.*;
// import com.ralph.*;
public class Sample extends JFrame
implements java.awt.event.ActionListener{
private JButton jButton1; // this button is for pressing
private JLabel jLabel1;
private String name;
/** Creates new object ChooseFile */
public Sample() {
initComponents();
name = "";
selectInput();
public Sample(String name) {
this();
this.name = name;
private void initComponents() {
Color bright = Color.red;
jButton1 = new JButton();
jLabel1= new JLabel();
addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent evt) {
exitForm(evt);
getContentPane().setLayout(new java.awt.GridLayout(2, 1));
jButton1.setBackground(Color.white);
jButton1.setFont(new Font("Verdana", 1, 12));
jButton1.setForeground(bright);
jButton1.setText("Click Me!");
jButton1.addActionListener(this);
jLabel1.setFont(new Font("Verdana", 1, 18));
jLabel1.setText("05975575");
jLabel1.setOpaque(true);
getContentPane().add(jButton1);
getContentPane().add(jLabel1);
pack();
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
System.out.print("Talk to me " name " : ");
try {
jLabel1.setText(input.readLine());
} catch (IOException ioe) {
jLabel1.setText("Ow! You pushed my button");
System.err.println("IO Error: " + ioe);
/** Exit this Application */
private void exitForm(WindowEvent evt) {
System.exit(0);
/** Initialise and Scan input Stream */
private void selectInput() {
input = new Scanner(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
/**int i = sc.nextInt(); */
/** Getter for name prompt */
public String getName() {
return name;
/** Setter for name prompt */
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
* @param args the command line arguments
public static void main(String args[]) {
new Sample("John").show();
</code>
and this is the second program called 'RunSample will run.
<code>
class RunSample {
public static void main(String args[]) {
new internetics.Sample("John").show();
</code>

The compiler I'm using is showing errors in these areas of the code. I've read the tutorials and still can't get it. They syntax for the scanner must be in the wrong format??
the input.readLine appears incorrect below.
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
    System.out.print("Talk to me " +name+ " : ");
    try {
        jLabel1.setText(input.readLine());
    } catch (IOException ioe) {
      jLabel1.setText("Ow! You pushed my button");
      System.err.println("IO Error: " + ioe);
    }and also here...
the input is showing errors
/** Initialise and Scan input Stream */
private void selectInput() {
    input = new Scanner(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
   /**int i = sc.nextInt(); */
}Thanks

Help with using itunes with 4s library after i upgraded to iPhone 5 and computer power supply went

long story hopefully an easy fix....
on wensday my power supply went and had to ship computer across country to Puget Computer Systems as we weren't sure if it was power supply or mobo...luckily it was power supply.
i daily backed up iphone 4s with itunes (10.7) as i do all music manually, playlists, etc. have like 3,000 plus songs, videos, audiobooks, mail aaccts and about 48 apps.
so next day (sept 19th) apple comes out with iOS 6 which i update my 4s to with no problem. I wanted a day to play with it to learn my way around.
next day i wait in line for 8 hours overnite and was #2 in line at apple store for my ATT 32gb white iPhone 5. while at apple store I get my icloud backup which gets all paid music,apps, etc since itunes version 10.3 (i always did both backups so as not to lose my contacts more than anything.
I have other paid stuff that is in library on computer along with audiobooks and about 2700 more songs.
my icloud backup put the playlists on iPhone but not most of the music for them as lots were ripped from my cd's.as i double them up making a copy on iPhone and a copy on itunes.
So I have been using iPhone 5 with no problems just don't have all of itunes library on it. My computer is coming back this week how do I plug in iPhone 5 via USB (which will be seen as new phone even though it has same name) and use my existing iTunes 10.7 library which the backups in iTunes still has iOS 5.1.1 on it?
There must be an easy way of doing it as i don't want to wipe off iphone 5 again as i don't see any purpose my library is all organized perfectly. I know my way around windows 7 pro 64 bit pretty well just don't know what itunes is going to say once it sees "joe's iPhone" again and installs the usb drivers and icon for it. what will it ask in regards to library and how do i use it with previous iOS on it?
Thank you very much for the help as I am going to need it.
yes i broke the cardinal rule of cross posting and apoligize for it just amazed i couldn't find answer via google nor any apple store genius knew it either.

Hi All,
Any help?
No one has any answers here amoungst all this apple knowledge?
Thank you

Need help with using graphics in swing components

Hi. I'm new to Java and trying to learn it while also developing an application for class this semester. I've been following online tutorials for about 2 months now, though, and so I'm not sure my question counts as a "new to Java" question any more as the code is quite long.
Here is the basic problem. I started coding the application as a basic awt Applet (starting at "Hello World") and about a month in realized that Swing components offer better buttons, panels, layouts, etc. So I converted the application, called BsfAp, to a new JApplet and started adding JPanels and JComponents with layout managers. My problem is, none of the buffered graphics run in any kind of JPanel, only the buttons do. I assume the buffered graphics are written straight to the JApplet top level container instead but I'm not entirely sure.
So as to not inundate the forum with code, the JApplet runs online at:
http://mason.gmu.edu/~dho2/files/sensor.html
The source code is also online at:
http://mason.gmu.edu/~dho2/files/BsfAp.java
What I would like to do is this - take everything in the GUI left of the tabbed button pane and put it into a JScrollPane so that I can use a larger grid size with map display I can scroll around. The grid size I would like to use is more like 700x1000 pixels, but I only want to display about 400x400 pixels of it at a time in the JScrollPane. Then I could also move this JScrollPane around with layout manager. I think this is possible, but I don't know how to do it.
I'm sure the code is not organized or optimized appropriately to those of you who use Java every day, but again I'm trying to learn it. ;-)
Thanks for any help or insight you could provide in this.
Matt

Couple of recs:
* Don't override paint and paint directly on the JApplet. Paint on a JPanel and override paintComponent.
* The simplest way to display a graphic is to put an image into an ImageIcon and show this in a JLabel. This can then easily go inside of the JScrollPane.
* You can also create a graphics JPanel that overrides the paintComponent, draw the image in that and show that inside of the JScrollPane.
* don't call paint() directly. Call repaint if you want the graphic to repaint.
Here's a trivial example quickly put together:
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Dimension;

Looking for some help with using Oracle stored procedures in vb2010

First off thank you to whoever lends me a hand with my problem. A little background first I am in a software development class and we are currently building our program using VB (I have no experience in this), and Oracle(currently in a Oracle class so I know how to use Oracle itself just not with VB).
I am using vb2010 express edition if that helps. Currently I have a stored procedure that takes a 4char "ID" that returns a position (ie, salesperson,manager ect). I want to use the position returned to determine what vb form is displayed (this is acting as a login as you dont want a salesperson accessing the accountants page for payroll ect).
Here is the code I have currently on the login page of my VB form
Imports Oracle.DataAccess.Client
Imports Oracle.DataAccess.Types
Public Class Login
Dim conn As New OracleConnection
Private Sub empID_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles empID.Click
End Sub
Private Sub LoginBtn_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles LoginBtn.Click
conn.ConnectionString = "User ID = Auto" & _
";Password = ********" & _
";Data Source = XE"
conn.Open()
Dim sq1 As String = "Return_Position" 'name of procedure
Dim cmd As New OracleCommand(sq1, conn)
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
cmd.Parameters.Add(New OracleParameter("I_EmpID", OracleDbType.Char, 4)).Value = Emp_ID.Text
Dim dataReader As OracleDataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader
dataReader.Read()
Dim position As New ListBox
position.Items.Add(dataReader.GetString(0)) 'were I am getting an error, I also tried using the dataReader.getstring(0) to store its value in a string but its a no go
If position.FindStringExact("MANAGER") = "MANAGER" Then
Me.Hide()
Dim CallMenu As New Menu()
CallMenu.ShowDialog()
End If
LoginBtn.Enabled = False
End Sub
I have read the oracle.net developer guide for using oracle in vb2010 and have successfully gotten through the document however they never use a stored procedure, since the teacher wants this program to user a layered architecture I cannot directly store sql queries like the document does, thus the reason I want to use stored procedures.
This is getting frustrating getting stuck with this having no background in VB, I could easily do this in c++ using file i/o even through it would be a pain in the rear....

Hello,
I am calling Oracle 11g stored procedures from VB.Net 2010. Here is a code sample (based on your code) you should be able to successfully implement in your application.
Please note that you may have to modify your stored procedure to include an OUT parameter (the employee position) if it doesn't have it yet.
Private Sub LoginBtn_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles LoginBtn.Click
Dim sProcedureName As String = "Return_Position" 'name of stored procedure
Dim ORConn as OracleConnection, sConn as String
Dim sPosition as String, sDataSource as String, sSchema as String, sPWD as String
Dim cmd As OracleCommand
'please provide below sDataSource, sSchema and sPWD in order to connect to your Oracle DB
sConn = "Data Source=" & sDataSource & ";User Id=" & sSchema & ";Password=" & sPWD & ";"
ORConn = New OracleConnection(sConn)
ORConn.Open()
cmd = New OracleCommand(sProcedureName, ORConn)
With cmd
.CommandType = Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure
'input parameter in your stored procedure is EmpId
.Parameters.Add("EmpID", OracleDbType.Varchar2).Value = Emp_ID.Text
.Parameters.Item("EmpID").Direction = ParameterDirection.Input
'output parameter in your stored procedure is Emp_Position
.Parameters.Add("Emp_Position", OracleDbType.Varchar2).Direction = ParameterDirection.Output
.Parameters.Item("Emp_Position").Size = 50 'max number of characters for employee position
Try
.ExecuteNonQuery()
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
Exit sub
End Try
End With
sPosition = cmd.Parameters.Item("Emp_Position").Value.ToString
'close Oracle command
If Not Cmd Is Nothing Then Cmd.Dispose()
Cmd = Nothing
'close Oracle connection
If Not ORConn Is Nothing Then
If not ORConn.State = 0 Then
ORConn.Close()
End If
ORConn.Dispose()
End If
ORConn = Nothing
If UCase(sPosition) = "MANAGER" Then
Me.Hide()
Dim CallMenu As New Menu()
CallMenu.ShowDialog()
End If
LoginBtn.Enabled = False
End Sub
If you need further assistance with the code, please let me know.

Help with using mergesort to sort a list of names alphabetically?

Hi, I'm trying to sort a list of names alphabetically, case-insensitive by using the mergesort technique.
I wrote this code and when I trace it through on paper with an example array of names, it should work, but when I run it with an actual txt file, it's not correctly alphabetical.
I'd appreciate it if someone could take a look at my code and give me some ideas on what my problem might be.
Thanks in advance! (note: I also posted this question to java-forums.org, as I've been working on this little problem for over five hours and am in desperate need of some help!)
public static void mergeSort(String[] names)
        if (names.length >= 2)
            String[] left = new String[names.length/2];
            String[] right = new String[names.length-names.length/2];
            for (int i = 0; i < left.length; i++)
                left[i] = names;
for (int i = 0; i < right.length; i++)
right[i] = names[i + names.length/2];
mergeSort(left);
mergeSort(right);
merge(names, left, right);
// pre : result is empty; list1 is sorted; list2 is sorted
// post: result contains result of merging sorted lists;
// add merge method below
public static void merge(String[] names, String[] left, String[] right)
int i1 = 0;
int i2 = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < names.length; i++)
if (i2 >= right.length || (i1 < left.length && left[i1].compareToIgnoreCase(right[i1])<0))
names[i] = left[i1];
i1++;
} else
names[i] = right[i2];

Help with using external hard drive to boot windows on PC

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is in the right place, so apologies in advance if not. I've looked around the internet for a good while now, and I haven't found anyone in my exact position.
My PC's hard drive (running Windows 7) recently died; long story short, I am attempting to reinstall windows. The only other computer I have is this MacBook Pro, on which I have an .iso file of Windows 7. So I want to use my external hard drive (WD 500GB "MyBook") as a boot device so that I can install Windows onto my new internal hard drive.
The problem I am having is that, well, nothing seems to be working. Every time I try to load the .iso onto my external hard drive and boot my PC with it, either a blank screen appears or it says "missing operating system".
I have made sure that the BIOS is running the external hard drive as its boot priority.
I have tried using Disk Utility to partition the external drive, then using 'Restore' to load the .iso onto the partition, to no avail.
I have tried simply dropping the extracted .iso files onto the hard drive, this doesn't work.
I have also tried changing the file system of the external hard drive using the 'Erase' feature (NTFS-3G (using an addon), FAT32, exFAT, all of the others), but I notice that whenever I use Restore after doing this, the file system seems to return to Mac OS Extended, which might be why it isn't booting up on my PC. Is there any way I can succesfully partition the external hard drive in a format that will allow Windows 7 to boot (such as NTFS?), and is Disk Utility even the right program to do this?
If you want any more information from me, please let me know and I'll do my best to provide it - I'm not the most advanced mac user in the world, but I've spent days trying to fix this problem and nothing, no combination of anything, seems to work at all. So any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Here is a quick suggestion for you:
Download Virtual Box (free PC Emulator for Mac) and install Windows 7 on your Mac (don't worry about activating it yet, as you don't need to keep it more than a few hours). You can tell Virtual Box to use the ISO file as the DVD drive for your virtual Windows computer, so no need to burn a disk.
Search Google for creating a bootable USB installer for Windows 7. I found a link that gave good instructions on how to do this using DiskPart.
Follow the instructions to make the bootable USB stick for installing Windows 7 using your virtual machine you created above.
Use the USB stick to install Windows on your new PC.
Remove the virtual Windows machine from your Mac.
Remove Virtual Box from your Mac.
I found a set of instructions and built an installable USB stick last night that worked great for installing Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) onto my older ThinkPad I had sitting at home. The USB installer also installs in about half the time as a DVD install. The only reason I have you create the virtual Windows PC is that all of the instructions for makeing the Windows install USB stick are written assuming that you already have access to a running Windows PC. By doing this install, you have up to 3 days before you would need to activate it and you can build the installer USB stick and remove teh virtual computer long before that.

Help with using an external USB hard drive to start up a powerbook?!

Hello ppl of the apple support communities,
My uncle recently gave me an Apple Powerbook G4 with a bad internal hard drive and the Mac OS X installation disk that came with the machine! In my country Greece to repair this powerbook costs about 140$ that i dont have! I need your help! I connected the external USB disk to 2 USB ports,and started the Mac OS X 9.2 installation! I went to Utilities Menu checked the disk erase tab and at Volume Format i used ''Mac OS Extended(journaled)'' and checked the box ''Install Mac OS 9 Driver'' and then click Erase. However the box for the ''Install MAc OS 9 disk drivers remained checked.(Seems like they cant be installed!)Then when i go to the partition tab ad at ''Options...'' i cant find this GUID thing and i can only choose between ''Apple Partition Scheme'' and ''PC Partition Scheme''!!

GUID partition scheme is required for Intel-based systems. The Powerbook would use the Apple partition scheme.
While it's probably what was provided with the Powerbook, I wouldn't bother with OS X 9.2. If you plan to use it to connect to the internet, there are so many advances that have taken place since 9.2, especially in handling web sites and security. And some web sites rely on newer versions of plug-ins, like Flash, to name one. You should also expect that watching online video's will be difficult, as even the last Powerbooks have difficulties with some video's.
Good luck with your project!

Need help with using new ipod as hard drive. please!

Hi. Has anyone had any problems using the ipod as a hard drive between two systems? I have an old 4th generation ipod which I used on my PC. That ipod worked great between macs and pcs as a hard drive. But recently it is completely screwed up. Anyway, I got a new Mac book pro and a 5th generation 60gb ipod.
Now, I'm trying to get some stuff off my pc and transfer it into my mac. In my pc it comes up in "my computer" but keeps asking me to format the hard drive whenever I do the drag and drop of files into it. I've already formatted it for my mac, but haven't put anything on it yet. So I guess I could just do that for the transfer and reformat it for the mac and then put my music on it.
I just want to know, it worked so well between mac and pc as a hard drive when originally formatted for my pc. will it not work the other way around? Will I have to keep reformatting it for the pc every time and then lose any information and all my music if I want to use it in that way? Or is there something I'm doing wrong? I would really appreciate any help at all that anyone could give me. Who really needs a 60gb anyway, if not to be able to transfer files back and forth between home and work, right?

Thank you for your reply. It cleared up a lot of confusion for me. But I have one more question.
See, I looked both of those software applications up, and it seems those are to be installed on the windows operating system. My plan is to eventually stop using my PC and give it away to goodwill, however, for work purposes- which is freelance- I'd need to use the ipod as a nice small portable hard drive- I'm a photographer, and work with big files, so I need the larger space that a flash drive can't give me.
So, is there any type of mac formatting on the ipod that can also be read by the pc? Or is there a 3rd party software that can be installed on the ipod that will enable it to be read on the pc and mac while retaining its mac formatting?
If not I guess I'll just have to go back to the old and extremely inconvenient way of doing things. I really wish mac would have mentioned these things before in all their descriptions.
