hi to all! i wanted to get some help on how to
connect to a database in a web... what do you know about databases and the web today?
i dont know if its
javascript,java applet,or jsp... yes.
could some1 pls give
me a code on how to make a simple login database
connection in a web through java.. (1) create a table USER in your favorite relational
database - id, username, and password should be
enough.
(2) Use HTML to create a login form - username and
password text fields and a submit button will be
good.
(3) Write a JSP using JSTL <sql> tags to query the
database and put the result into request scope.
(4) Redirect to a success JSP to demonstrate a
successful login, or back to the login if it fails.
i really nid itI hope this helps.
guys... we have our contest next week... pls.. i
really nid your help... tnx!What do "we" win? Will you be listing me as the sole
developer if I write this for you?
My rate is $120 USD per hour. Give a credit card
number and I'll get right on it.<Actually its just a contest for our intramurals.. i was just hoping if u guys could help me ... thnx!

Please help with Database and JTable.

The class listed below is for a JTable. The main in this class is for testing only, when complete main will reside elsewhere. I need to know how to make this JTable universal. How can I set it up so that when called in a main and passed parameters it will display the information contained in that users database?? Again it must be universal so no matter who uses it, it will perform the same on all database's.
Here's the code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;
public class DisplayTable extends JFrame{
public DisplayTable() {
     JFrame jf = new JFrame("Window Title");
          jf.setSize(1100,700);
          jf.setLocation(25,50);
          jf.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter(){
               public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e){
                    System.exit(0);}
     TableModel tm = new AbstractTableModel(){
          String[][] data = { {"How to get database data??"}};
          String[] headers = {"How to get database headers??"};
          public int getRowCount() {return data.length;}
          public int getColumnCount() {return headers.length;}
          public Object getValueAt(int r, int c) {return data[r][c];}
          public String getColumnName(int c) {return headers[c];}
     JTable jt = new JTable(tm);
     JScrollPane jsp = new JScrollPane(jt);
          jf.getContentPane().add(jsp, BorderLayout.CENTER);
          jf.setVisible(true);
public static void main(String args[]){
     DisplayTable dt = new DisplayTable(Database Parameters to be given here);

You could generalize it, but it gets tricky to deal with the data types and if the JTable is editable because you would read the DB table data at run time. Using the ResultSetMetaData, you would be able to find the column type too. But, how can we cast an object at run-time?
Below, I have provided an overview as of doing a read-only (all-strings version) of it. You may have some ideas from there.
The database parameters that you pass to the constructor would tell the model where to connect and which DB table to read the data from. Couple of options:
1. You can read the data in the constructor of DisplayTable into final variables and have the inner class (model) set its data and headers from those variables.
Or
2. Pull out the model as a separate class extending AbstractTableMode. Doing this, you can pass on the DB information to the model and have the model talk to the DB.
And, I would use dynamic datastructures like Vector or List instead of arrays.
You would have the following logic wherever you chose to talk to the DB:
I am assuming that you are trying to read a complete DB table into your JTable (or may be you would pass a SELECT-query alongwith your DB information). Whatever may be the case, you would execute a select- to the DB and get a resultset back. Using that you would be able to get the ResultSetMetaData, which will give you the column count and column names. You may chose to use these column names as the header names for your JTable. With the column count you would query every row to get the object at each column.
Here is a sample model:
class MyModel extends AbstractTableModel {
    ArrayList columnNames = new ArrayList();
    ArrayList data = new ArrayList();
    MyModel(<DB Info>) {
        // Use the DB info and get the resultset
        ResultSetMetaData rsm = rs.getMetaData();
        int col = rsm.getColumnCount();
        for(int i=1; i<=col; i++) {
            columnNames.add(rsm.getColumnName(i));
        // Read the data
        while(rs.next()) {
            ArrayList row = new ArrayList();
            data.add(row);
            for(int j=1; j<=col; j++) {
                // Here is the tricky part which I did not figure yet. For now, I am reading in all as Strings.
                row.add(rs.getObject(j).toString());
    public String getColumnName(int c) {
        return (String)columnNames.get(c);
    public int getColumnCount() {
        return columnNames.size();
    public Object getValueAt(int r,int c) {
        ArrayList row = (ArrayList)data.get(r);
        return (String)row.get(c);
    public int getRowCount() {
        return data.size();
}If you figured a way to handle run-time casting, please let us know.

Thanks for help with Numbers and web stock quotes

Koenig Yvan,
I want to public thank you for sharing your Applescript: InsertQuotes from 2009 that works with Numbers.
I've successfully modified and simplified it for my purposes to be able to retrieve and set values for a portfolio of U.S. mutual funds that are our investments. I have a spreadsheet that started out years ago as an Excel spreadsheet on Windows XP and used Microsoft's ability to retrieve information from the web from finance.yahoo.com and place it in Excel spreadsheet cells.
I converted that spreadsheet to Google spreadsheet using their GoogleFinance function. It proved to be unreliable intermittently and now I've taken that spreadsheet into Numbers '09 and used your script, modified to use my portfolio's list of symbols and to put just the prices into a quotes sheet. For each account I track in my Numbers spreadsheet I use the table Lookup function to search the quotes sheet for a specific symbol and have the function return the associate price.
Following your instructions I put the Applescript in the ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Numbers/ and after opening my Numbers spreadsheet, with one mouse click in the System wide Scripts menu, execute the script which accesses finance.yahoo.com and sets the latest prices into my quotes sheet.
Thanks very much for sharing with everyone. I appreciate having access to your work to make my work much easier.

Which structure ?
If you are wondering about the Library folder, it's a feature described thiuysands of time.
In Lion, this folder is hidden.
press Option while triggering the menu "Go to" give access to this folder.

(newbie and technophobe here) Help with speakers and web camera ...

Hello, everyone!
I've had my G-5 since I ordered new in November of 2005, and only now am I geting around to purchasing speakers and musing about a web camera.
On speakers, the kid at Best Buy yesterday told me that speakers aren't really operating system specific. That is, that they plug and play into any computer and don't require any software; like speakers do to a stereo. However, I just noticed the speakers I bought (Logitech Z-10) for $120.00 do not have "Macintosh" listed on the box as it does for a PC on the Requirements listing. Before I open this box and find out they don't work properly, do I really need Mac specific speakers?
I also went to the Mac store here in Fashion Valley and they no longer carried any web cameras. After visiting three other computer retailers such as Best Buy, and Frys, I came up dry on cameras for a Mac. I do however have an Ebay merchant selling a MacAlly iceCam Web Camera Mac right here in town who I can drive over and purchase one if I want to. However, after going on Ebay, I noticed that the $300.00 Mac iSight camera is there for sale, so I was wondering what the difference was. The MacAlly one is around $27.00, whereas the iSight is close to $300.00. Is the iSight worth the price in other words? What can it do that the MacAlly can't? Would the MacAlly suffice just to talk to another across the country?
Thank you.
G-5 Imac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Martin, Rod:
Thank you for your responses. I think I have Panther(10.3.9), so will iChatAV be in that system, or will I have to upgrade to Tiger in order to make full use of an iSight camera ? Can I web camera with AOL subscribers, or am I pretty much limited as to who I can conference with?
Thank you for clearing up the speaker thing. It looks like I'll be returning them to Best Buy tomorrow, and then start a search for Apple specific speakers. Thanks again.
iSight question: It looks like I'm going to have to purchase an iSight web camera at an overinflated price at a site such as Ebay since Apple no longer produces them, so my question is, Does anyone know whether the camera came with software or manuals (In case the seller doesn't have any) ... or does one actually need any?
Keychain Question: What's this annoying keychain box that pops up everytime I use Safari? How do I get rid of it? What's it for? What am I supposedly unlocking? I don't think I have a keychain password.
Thank you all for your assistance,

Export data to excel with EPPlus and Web Api - HELP!

I am trying to do a simple excel file export with EPPlus and Web Api. In the html client I have a button that calls the web api and opens a new window. No error is thrown, but the result is always "file could not be downloaded". I get the
save file dialog but the file name is Order/ instead of the expected Orders.xls or Orders.xlsx. Can anyone help? I'm surprised this is so difficult.

return stream;
This has been driving me crazy for two days!

Making some progress. I got the spreadsheet into a byte[] and used code from Paul Van
Bladel's blog to make the HttpResponseMessage. If I comment out the LightSwitch data access code, this works to export a spreadsheet from a static list to the browser from Web Api.

The problem is that the LightSwitch query (commented out in the code above) is trying to load navigation properties for the orders. Error: "It is not valid to access this object on the current thread." How do I solve this?

Help with writing and retrieving data from a table field with type "LCHR"

Hi Experts,
I need help with writing and reading data from a database table field which has a type of "LCHR". I have given an example of the original code but don't know what to change it to in order to fix it and still read in the original data that's stored in the LCHR field.
Basically we have two Function modules, one that saves list data to a database table and one that reads in this data. Both Function modules have an identicle table which has an array of fields from type INT4, CHAR, and type P. The INT4 field is the first one.
Incidentally this worked in the 4.7 non-unicode system but is now dumping in the new ECC6 Unicode system.
Thanks in advance,
C

Hi Anuj,
The unicode flag is active.
When I run our report and then to try and save the list data a dump is happening at the following point
LOOP AT T_TAB into L_WA.
As I say, T_TAB consists of different fields and field types whereas L_WA is CHAR 800. The dump mentions UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE
When I try to load a saved list the dump is happening at the following point
APPEND T_DATA-RAWDATA to T_TAB.
T_DATA-RAWDATA is type LCHR and T_TAB consists of different fields and field types.
In both examples the dumps mention UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE

Printing from web pages is excruciatingly slow with most recent upgrades of Firefox .Use an iMac and an HP officejet printer. Printer works fine with Safari and woodprocessed files, but not with Firefox and web pages.

Printing from web pages is excruciatingly slow since downloading most recent upgrades of Firefox Mozilla. I have a desktop iMac, OS 10.6.8, and an HP officejet printer 4500 G510n. The printer works fine with the Safari Browser and with woodprocessed files, but not with Firefox and web pages. Help please! It used to print fast with earlier versions of Firefox.

Hello and welcome to the Apple Discussions Forum.
I have hardly any experience with HP printers but since your posting has not been replied to yet I thought I'd offer some assistance.
With the printer status and ink levels working, it shows that you have a connection to the printer. So I would look at the issue being with the protocol being used for the print queue on the Mac.
Since you have XP and Vista working, I would check the printer queue configuration on either box. In XP, go to the Properties and select Ports. Click the Configure Port tab to view the connection. If you are using RAW, then this is known as HP Jetdirect-Socket on OS X. So if you are not sure what protocol was used before I would create another printer queue, this time selecting IP > HP Jetdirect-Socket. Then enter your IP address and select the K5400dn from the Print Using menu.
If this still fails to print then please reply. There may be limitations with adding the HP driver this way that I am not aware of. There may also be other driver options you can look at, such as HPIJS. If Greg Sahli reads this posting he has expert knowledge on this matter and will be able to offer some guidance.

BO XI 3.1 SP3 SSO with CMC and Webi Rich Client

Hello,
Is it possible in BO XI 3.1 SP3 to use SSO with CMC and Webi Rich Client ?
It works fine with InfoView, Designer and Desktop Intelligence.
Regards

Hi,
What kind of SSO authentication are you trying to set up? (AD, LDAP,...)
I think it's AD regarding your command line.
But be aware that in SSO, you don't need to configure the command line to run the client.
Have a look at the following guide.
[Configuring Manual Kerberos Authentication and-or SSO in Distributed Environments with XI 3.1 SP3.pdf|https://bosap-support.wdf.sap.corp/sap/support/sapnotes/public/services/attachment.htm?iv_key=002007204200000183782010&iv_version=0005&alt=2BCE4CB10DF674B172F4F3F7B32A284F49333135358877720E883731B332AF34CACD2AB52C0A2C8DCACA09084EF4CB494E4E0F2ECE8E2F89772908C9CE70CD2DF77675F7F2D1750C09514BCECFCFCE4C8DCF4BCC4DB5F575F4F4F3F57771F571F6F70B01B25D83D4120B0A722092A599504EB16D715E3E00&iv_guid=DF838310BFAAE8F1B486001A64C54696]
Regarding accessing CMC with SSO, it's not recomended at all as if you break this access, than you can't connect anymore to the CMC and modify settings.
Regards,
Philippe

Help with count and sum query

Hi I am using oracle 10g. Trying to aggregate duplicate count records. I have so far:
SELECT 'ST' LEDGER,
CASE
WHEN c.Category = 'E' THEN 'Headcount Exempt'
ELSE 'Headcount Non-Exempt'
END
ACCOUNTS,
CASE WHEN a.COMPANY = 'ZEE' THEN 'OH' ELSE 'NA' END MARKET,
'MARCH_12' AS PERIOD,
COUNT (a.empl_id) head_count
FROM essbase.employee_pubinfo a
LEFT OUTER JOIN MMS_DIST_COPY b
ON a.cost_ctr = TRIM (b.bu)
INNER JOIN MMS_GL_PAY_GROUPS c
ON a.pay_group = c.group_code
WHERE a.employee_status IN ('A', 'L', 'P', 'S')
AND FISCAL_YEAR = '2012'
AND FISCAL_MONTH = 'MARCH'
GROUP BY a.company,
b.district,
a.cost_ctr,
c.category,
a.fiscal_month,
a.fiscal_year;
which gives me same rows with different head_counts. I am trying to combine the same rows as a total (one record). Do I use a subquery?

Hi,
Whenever you have a problem, please post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) from all tables involved.
Also post the results you want from that data, and an explanation of how you get those results from that data, with specific examples.
user610131 wrote:
... which gives me same rows with different head_counts.If they have different head_counts, then the rows are not the same.
I am trying to combine the same rows as a total (one record). Do I use a subquery?Maybe. It's more likely that you need a different GROUP BY clause, since the GROUP BY clause determines how many rows of output there will be. I'll be able to say more after you post the sample data, results, and explanation.
You may want both a sub-query and a different GROUP BY clause. For example:
WITH    got_group_by_columns     AS
     SELECT a.empl_id
     ,     CASE
                    WHEN c.category = 'E'
              THEN 'Headcount Exempt'
                    ELSE 'Headcount Non-Exempt'
            END          AS accounts
     ,      CASE
                    WHEN a.company = 'ZEE'
                    THEN 'OH'
                    ELSE 'NA'
            END          AS market
     FROM              essbase.employee_pubinfo a
     LEFT OUTER JOIN mms_dist_copy             b ON   a.cost_ctr     = TRIM (b.bu)
     INNER JOIN       mms_gl_pay_groups        c ON   a.pay_group      = c.group_code
     WHERE     a.employee_status     IN ('A', 'L', 'P', 'S')
     AND        fiscal_year           = '2012'
     AND        fiscal_month          = 'MARCH'
SELECT    'ST'               AS ledger
,       accounts
,       market
,       'MARCH_12'          AS period
,       COUNT (empl_id)      AS head_count
FROM       got_group_by_columns
GROUP BY accounts
,            market
;But that's just a wild guess.
You said you wanted "Help with count and sum". I see the COUNT, but what do you want with SUM? No doubt this will be clearer after you post the sample data and results.

Programming the Oracle Database with Java and Web Services: sample chapter

This will be the first book devoted to Java in the Oracle Database: read the sample chapter @ http://www.oracle.com/technology/books/pdfs/mensah_ch1.pdf
This book also covers the latest Oracle JDBC, Oracle SQLJ, JPublisher and Database Web Services A brief description @
http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/bookdescription.cws_home/706089/description#description
Thanks, Kuassi

Hi Kuassi,
Thanks for letting us know that your book is available. I have been following one of your articles about "Virtualize Your Oracle Database with Web Services". More specifically "The Database as Web Services Consumer". I think that this is an area that has in the past been under estimated as to the potential benefits.
I am currently trying to develop a solution that consumes several interfaces with a couple of them being published web services, so an ideal solution. I have then spent the last three weeks having to read up about the architecture of Java in the database, Jpublisher and make sense of how it all works together.
I have got very close to getting one of the web services to work but failed due to using 10gR2 where all the java & libraries has moved to version 1.5. The solution is to load the jdk1.4.2 and configure jpublisher to use this. So far so good except this is not available on some platforms, Windows - 64 bit (not itanium).
The configuration is proving very challenging but will hopefully reap rewards.
(Thought I would give you some background to my experience).
Anyway my question to you is having looked at Jdeveloper it appears to do almost anything except consume services into the database, also with Java now being at version 1.5 outside the database for 10gR2 and supporting 1.4 inside, do you see some alignment of these in future database releases?
Finally off to buy your book now as no doubt there is a huge amount more to learn.
Kind Regards

Help needed with flash and web service call

Hi all,
I need some help with web services and flash. I'm very new to flash, so please have that in the back of your mind when reading this :-)
I've got a .swf file, and I would like to display a number received from a web service (using adobe flash professional cs5). Ive added the web service and provided the WSDL, but when i try to "Add Method Call", nothing happens. Why? What am I doing wrong?
Hope someone can help

start with the button that causes the text to be displayed. find what it does (which may not be easy because most templates are coded by novice or intermediate level coders) and follow that trail to the text. (note: the text may be in a txt or xml file that's loaded.)
to have a button release open a file, use:
yourbtn.onRelease=function(){
getURL("http://www.adobe.com");

Swapping between client database and web database

Hi i have completed tutorials etc so can now create the
sqlite database for my application which is downloaded by the user
and will run on thier desktop so i am calling it the "client
database" which contains data they are working with but there is
another database containing identical tables which i am calling the
"global database" the idea of this is to transfer data between the
different clients and backup that information.
so i am looking for a tutorial or a sample app where the app
takes information from a web based database and copy's that rob
into a sqlite database on the clients machine?
this is the main problem im having and seen people mentioning
blaze DS and stuff like that, ideally i wouldn't like to use PHP
but atm is looking like i may have to.
i will sell my soul to anyone who can help with this lol
(also i am using FLEX 3.0)

Hi,
Yes, if you use LCDS everything is there already for you, so
that you can complete this application in very less time. Since you
want to use PHP, you can use Zend PHP, which will support Remoting
using AMF. Using Zend PHP, write PHP classes which will help you to
synchronize data between server and client and just invoke those
from your Flex application when required.
Hope this helps.

Can anyone help with database driven design

Hi,
I would like to determine the best way to serve large amounts
of text on an html page. I have manuals with lots of links that I
want to add to a website. I would like to employ database driven
web development in my design, would this be a good use for it? If
so would you suggest php and what database?
Thanks!
Please forgive me for double posting, I posted this in the
general forum but maybe should have done it here first?

I would say it totally depends on the format that the manuals
are in. If they're HTML than you can store them as BLOB's in mysql
and you're life will be rather easy. You would need to parse the
blob output for URLs but that's about it.
However, if the manuals are in PDF than a database wouldn't
help with the storage of the actual files, however you can use
either XML or a DB (i.e. mysql) to store the metadata about that
manual so that you can at least make the site searchable.
A little more information about your data/website would
probably be helpful.

Can anyone help with iPlayer and Sky Mobile?

Ok, I'm so close to giving up with this useless phone. There are 3 apps on my N97 which give me a constant headache.
BBC iPlayer
Sky Mobile*
YouTube
*I should point out that I only use Sky Mobile to set recordings on my Sky+. I do not use it for, nor have any desire to use it for actually watching Mobile TV.
All of these apps work absolutely fine over my home WiFi network. It's when I try to use them over 3G (my Vodafone Live! connection) that I start running in to trouble.
All 3 give me connection problems, errors, and simply refuse to load half the time when on 3G. I got so annoyed I just did a hard reset the other week, and magically all three started working again. However, now 2 of them are failing me again. YouTube (touch wood) is working fine at the moment, but iPlayer and Sky Mobile just aren't.
iPlayer sometimes works. But sometimes I get script errors (unable to load content), and sometimes it says something about checking my connection settings. I wouldn't mind but it's not actually possible to access any options for the iPlayer. Even in application settings there are no options you're able to set.
Sky Mobile simply flat out refuses to work ever on 3G. But it did after I did a hard reset for a couple of weeks, now it just stopped working! It wont even load. It just gives the error message 'Unable to connect to network - please check connection settings" or something along those lines.
I've tried so many different things. Tried setting my internet connections to 'always ask', tried setting it to default to Vodafone Live! all the time, tried setting my video streaming settings to WAP, all sorts. Every combination I can think of.
I just can't wait to get rid of this phone. I've put so many people off buying one. They see it and think it's all swish and cool, and I just say 'Don't. You'll regret it'. I can't wait for my contract to be up so I can upgrade to an iPhone now Vodafone have got them.
Can anyone help with these problems? Thanks in advance, but I don't hold out much hope...

About iPlayer.
Have a chat with Vodaphone. Streaming iPlayer over 3G IS allowed on Vodaphone contract, unlike my O2 contract. As long as your contract allows it, and you have the correct AP address, it should be fine. Vodaphone should be able to give you the setting.
Mine only works over Wlan.
FWIW, "... streaming over 3G is not currently available on iPhone handsets on any mobile network".
p.s. Just to be clear. You say "Tried setting my internet connections to 'always ask', tried setting it to default to Vodafone Live!".
iPlayer uses the Nokia browser "Web". So that's where you should make the setting "Ask when needed". It should then offer you the choice of whatever you've set in Destinations> Internet> then select whatever you've chosen as your GPRS connection.(as advised, or sent to you by Vodaphone).
