How to create a native KeyEvent for non ASCII characters

Hello
i need to create a native KeyEvent with my application. I know that it is possible to send such a event with the Robot-Class. But how do i send an event for a none ASCII character such as the german � (O with Diaeresis)?
I also know that a combination of KeyEvent.VK_DEAD_DIAERESIS + KeyEvent.VK_O will get me the desired result, but i want just to pass the charachter � and let Java create the correct KeyCode(s).
Does anyone knows a solution?
BTW: AWTKeyStroke always returns 0 for the �
Thanks
Matt

Hi, James.
Unfortunately, none of the F-keys can be set to the functions of the Volume keys using the Keyboard Shortcuts preference pane.
Mac OS X does not include native support for assigning a macro or script to either an Fkey or other keyboard shortcut. For that, you need a third-party tool, like iKey, Quickeys, or Spark, the latter suggested by DPSG-Scout.
You'd also need a set of scripts to assign to the keys, e.g. scripts to increase, decrease, or mute the volume. Those are tricky to write since System Preferences does not expose much to AppleScript. One would need to use the "GUI Scripting (System Events)" technique to create a script to change the settings in the Sound preferences pane of System Preferences.
Automator does offer a "Set Computer Volume" action, which allows you to adjust the various Volume settings (Output volume, Alert Volume, Input Volume) to a specific set of levels, including Mute for Output Volume. However, it won't handle the idea of pressing the same key multiple times to either increase or decrease the volume, ala the Volume Adjustment keys. In your case, it's most useful for Mute. Automator Workflows can be saved as applications, which I believe can then be assigned to Fkeys in iKey or QuickKeys.
Someone may have written a more advanced Automator action for adjusting volume than that provided with Mac OS X. Search Apple's Automator Action Downloads. If you find one, instructions on adding actions to Automator can be found in Automator Help.
You could search ScriptBuilders to see if someone has already written scripts for the functions you need, then use iKey or Quickeys to assign such to keyboard shortcuts.
Finally, you could solve the problem another way: buy a set of external speakers that has its own separate volume and mute control. For example, my trusty old Monsoon MM1000s have their own volume control with a mute button.
Good luck!

Validation for non-ASCII characters

Hi all,
Requirement: I have to apply a validation on on fields like Name and Address in applicationdefination.xml. When a user types non-ASCII characters and navigates to next page then it should display the error message. Thus, I have to restrict my user to ASCII values only.
Present Situation: I'm using regular expression for this problem. In Jheadstart there is an option regular expression under the heading Validation. I have written following values in regular expression and Regular Expression Error Message options.
Regular Expression
^\s*[\w\.\,\-\_\#\'\/\\\ u0022\u0026\*\;\:\s]+\s*$
Regular Expression Error Message
It is important to note that foreign characters are not accepted on our system. Please ensure only standard English letters are entered
Since, i was getting error in jspx page due to double quotes(") and ampercent(&), So i have replaced the double quotes(") and amprecent(&) by their unicodes. Thus, the expression has become like ^\s*[\w\.\,\-\_\#\'\/\\\u0022\u0026\*\;\:\s]+\s*$.
This expression is validating many characters like Ã,µ,Ç,Ï,Ö,§,¥,{,} but not all non ASCII characters like ѓ є ѕ ї Њ Щ Ώ Ω Ϊ Ά Ή Θ Λ Ξ Π τ ẫ ờ Ỡ Ứ Ỷ ự Ẁ ỹ ị Ọ ň ũ ť ţ Έ Ϊ ﻍ. Thus, its not fulfilling the requirement.
Please suggest some valid solution to this problem. It’s very urgent.

Hi,
The validation seems to be performed in Java or Javascript depending on the layout (I'm sorry I can't remember the exact details). The expression suggested above by theEternalStudent works very well in Java, but not in Javascript.
We came up with an expression which works in both. It rejects strings which contain &# by doing a lookahead before the main pattern - you might want to expand this to look for &#nnn; but for our purposes &# is enough.
Here is the "platform neutral" solution:
(?!.*\u0026#.*)^[\w\.\,\-\_\#\'\/\\\u0022\u0026\*\;\:\s]+$
I think in future we will write a javascript function and amend the templates to call it directly.
thanks,
Michael

How to create a volume shortcut for non-mac keyboards? Sound control? F7?

Hello everybody,
This has been bothering me for a while. I have a third party editing keyboard and I would like to be able to control the volume with three keys just as the apple keyboards do.
I would like to make F6,F7 and F8: mute, vol -, and vol +.
I have tried and tried and no luck. I tried using keyboard and mouse shortcuts section of system prefs but I do not know the "menu title" of the volume controls.
If anybody has any ideas I would love help.
Thanks so much,
James

What is current CommSuite support for non-ASCII passwords?

Hello all,
Some of our users managed to change their passwords to non-ASCII strings (via replication from MSAD by ISW) and no longer have access to their communications services.
While replicating the problem, I have set a (UTF-8 non-ASCII) string as my password in DSEE directly, and *can* log in to Convergence with this password. However, if I change the working password to a non-ASCII string from Convergence itself - it is accepted during the secondary password check, there is no error returned, SOME password is apparently saved into the LDAP directory, but neither of the original non-ASCII plaintext strings can be used for login back into Convergence. Restoration of access is only doable by admin at this point.
Checking email by IMAP from Thunderbird no longer works with a changed non-ASCII password (including the state when it still works for Convergence).
Delegated Admin has an explicit check for non-ASCII characters in the password and refuses to set a misbehaving one.
I see that among the standards supported by CommSuite, there is IMAP4rev1, and RFC 5255 refers to it as the reason that non-ASCII passwords and usernames are for now not supported, though this is expected to be a temporary state of things, and software can prepare for the future by implementing checks for valid UTF-8 strings as well.
https://wikis.oracle.com/display/CommSuite/Messaging+Server+Supported+Standards
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5255
5.1. Unicode Userids and Passwords
   IMAP4rev1 currently restricts the userid and password fields of the
   LOGIN command to US-ASCII. The "userid" and "password" fields of the
   IMAP LOGIN command are restricted to US-ASCII only until a future
   standards track RFC states otherwise. Servers are encouraged to
   validate both fields to make sure they conform to the formal syntax
   of UTF-8 and to reject the LOGIN command if that syntax is violated.
   Servers MAY reject the LOGIN command if either the "userid" or
   "password" field contains an octet with the highest bit set.
   When AUTHENTICATE is used, some servers may support userids and
   passwords in Unicode [RFC3490] since SASL (see [RFC4422]) allows
   that. However, such userids cannot be used as part of email
   addresses.
So, the main question at this point is: does or does not all of the CommSuite stack support non-ASCII passwords?
If no - please confirm, so we can instruct the users to not create problems for themselves (and maybe manage to set up some policy to not accept non-ASCII passwords to MSAD/DSEE in the first place).
If yes - what should be done to enable support in Convergence/IMAP/SMTP/XMPP/WCAP/WABP/... services - perhaps, setting the LANG/LC_ALL locale environment variables or equivalent JVM flags for UTF-8 in server startup scripts, etc.? (I know that DSEE ldapsearch requires either envvars or a command-line flag for charset encoding of values, so I figure similar quirks may be relevant for some other software)
Thanks in advance for either response,
//Jim Klimov

I can't respond for the suite, but the Messaging Server product should work with UTF-8 usernames and passwords as long as the standard SASL authentication mechanisms that are documented to use UTF-8 are used (e.g. SASL PLAIN). IMAP LOGIN may work fine with UTF-8 as well even though that's non-standard. We do not implement SASLprep, however, so the strings provided by the client to the server must be identical UTF-8 strings for authentication to succeed. If they are provided in a different decomposition, different canonical form or non-standard charset, that's not supported and will fail. We don't test this scenario extensively, so you may encounter bugs (that we'd have to prioritize and fix as with other bugs). Messaging Server recently implemented a restricted option (broken_client_login_charset) for a customer who was stuck with broken clients that sent ISO-8859-1 for the IMAP login command arguments.

Does Oracle User Password can contain non-ASCII characters?

Hi Experts,
Can we create a user with password containing non-ASCII characters like "Ro'çá".
I was able to create a database instance by providing the password for sys as "Ro'çá". But now i am not able to login from command prompt using sqlplus or SQLPLUS Application. I am getting below error:

Also using create user i am not able to create user with password in non-ASCII characters but alter user works and changes the password to non-ASCII characters when enclosed in quotes.
I wanted to know whether the password can contain non-ASCII characters or not?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I don't think that the characters used are allowed. See this doc which only mentions three characters to be used .

How to create the Access sequence for the Vendor+material+plant combination

Hi all
Please let me know How to create the Access sequence for the Vendormaterialplant combination..
Whats the use? What its effect in purhcase and taxe..
brief me please

Hi,
you are asked to maintain the access sequence for the tax condition for which you are putting 7.5%.
goto OBQ1 or img..financial accounting new...global settings.... taxes on sales and purchases ......basic settings.....
find the tax condition type. see in it which access sequence is attached.
if there is none then use JTAX used for taxes in India.
or you can create the similar one for your.
to create the same goto OBQ2.
new entry or copy JTAX.
and assign the access sequence to condition type.
this will resolve your problem if you just need to assign the access sequence.

How to create a new Condition for tax as VAT ( 4 % ) in SAP ? .

Dear All ,
Pl guide that " How to create a new Condition for tax as VAT ( 4 % ) in SAP ? . What are all necessary requirements to do so , I need to have all steps so that i should feel very confident . For example what data is to be ticked in Control tab during cond. creation , in the same way how to put this cond. in Pricing procedure ? pl write all necessary thing which are required during this process .
Thanx & deep regrads to all in adv.
sap11

In tax we can configure taxprocedure two types i.e., taxinn and tainj. If you adopt taxinn procedure if it is other than VAT condition first you have to create the condition type and then you have to go to FTXP and assign the tax required VAT percentage to the repective % to ded or non ded VAT condion type. In second step you have to assign this tax code to respective company code.
If you adopt taxinj procedure you have to a create tax code with FTXP T-code by assigning the values to the respective and save conditions.

How to create the exe files for java application

How to create the exe file for java application?
got any software to do that?
Thanks

In terms of converting java applications into exe files, there are 3 schools of thought:
1) Instead of converting it to an exe, convert it to a jar file. Jar files are more portable than exe files because they can be double-clicked on any operating system. The caveat is that a Java interpreter must be installed on the target computer for the double-clicking to work.
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/Books/javaprogramming/JAR/
2) Create an exe launcher that, when double-clicked, attempts to find a Java interpreter on the local computer and launches the Java application. The exe file is still double-clickable but whether your java application runs depends on whether a Java interpretor is installed on the target computer.

http://www.objects.com.au/products/jstart/index.jsp

http://www.rolemaker.dk/nonRoleMaker/javalauncher/
http://www.jelude.cjb.net/
http://thor.prohosting.com/~dfolly/java/index.html
3) Create an exe launcher that bundles a Java interpretor. Same as above but when the exe file is double-clicked, it searches for a Java interpreter and if one is not found, it installs one on the target computer. The caveat is that the exe file would have an overhead of 10 MB in size for the interpreter.
http://www.excelsior-usa.com/jet.html (evaluation version available)
4) Convert the Java application into a native exe file. The caveat is that if you use Swing for your GUI, it won't be converted. Also this option is still somewhat experimental.
Can't think of any free options right now.

How to create different log files for each of web applications deployed in OC4J

Hi All,
I am using OC4J(from Oracle) v1.0.2.2 and Windows2000. Now I want to know
1. how to create different log files for each of my deployed web applications ?
2. what are the advantages in running multiple instances of oc4j and in what case we should run
multiple instances of OC4J ?
3. how to run OC4J as Windows2000 Service rather than Windows2000 Application ?
Thanks and Regards,
Kumar.

Hi Avi,
First of all I have given a first reading to log4j and I think there will some more easy way of logging debugging messages than log4j (If you could provide me a detailed explanation of a servlet,jsp,java bean that uses log4j and how to use log4j then it will be very helpful for me). The other easy ways (if I am not using log4j) to my problem i.e creating different log files for each of web applications deployed in oc4j are
I have created multiple instances of OC4J that are configured to run on different ports and so on each instance I have deployed a single web application . And I started the 2 oc4j instances by transferring thier error/log messages to a file. And the other way is ..
I have download from jakarta site a package called servhelper . This servhelper is a thread that is started in a startup servlet and stopped in the destroy method of that startup servlet. So this thread will automatically capture all the system.out.println's and will print those to a file. I believe that this thread program is synchronized. So in this method I need not run multiple instances of OC4J instead each deployed web application on single instance of oc4j uses the same thread program (ofcourse a copy of thread program is put in each of the deployed web applications directories) to log messages on to different log files.
Can you comment on my above 2 approached to logging debugging messages and a compartive explanation to LOG4J and how to use LOG4J using a simple servlet, simple jsp is appreciated ...
Thanks and Regards,
Ravi.

How to create a custom measure for each level of a dimension

Hi all!
Can Anyone please explain me with an example, how to create a custom measure for each level for a dimension? I dont mine if you use
one or more measures.
thanks in advance
hope someone helps me.

For example:I create a dimension for product_dim witch has 4 levels:total, class, family and item:
d_aben18
n1_aben18
n2_aben18
n3_aben18
n4_aben18
herarchy:h_aben18
cube:cubo_aben18
measure:med_aben18
I create this code to fetch the data to the dimension:
TRAP ON CLEANUP
SQL DECLARE c1 CURSOR FOR SELECT-
total_product_id,1,'N1_ABEN18',total_product_dsc,-
class_id,1,'N2_ABEN18',total_product_id,class_dsc,-

item_id,1,'N4_ABEN18',family_id,item_dsc-
FROM PRODUCT_DIM
"OPEN THE CURSOR
SQL OPEN c1
"FETCH THE DATA
SQL FETCH c1 LOOP INTO-

:D_ABEN18_long_description,-
"SAVE THE CHANGES
UPDATE
COMMIT
CLEANUP:
SQL CLOSE c1
SHOW 'KK2'
Then I create a cube with use compression off, and in rules sum for example.
After, I create a measure and I select Override the aggregation specification for the cube, in rules I put nonadditive and I would like to create aprogram to assign distinct values to each level of the dimension. For example, I put 1, 2 3, and 4 values, but at the end I would like to put count(distinct(values)).
for that I create another program:
VRB D_RETURN DECIMAL
if D_ABEN18_N1_ABEN18_LEVELDEF eq 'N1_ABEN18'
then D_RETURN = 1
if D_ABEN18_N2_ABEN18_LEVELDEF eq 'N2_ABEN18'
then D_RETURN = 2
if D_ABEN18_N3_ABEN18_LEVELDEF eq 'N3_ABEN18'
then D_RETURN = 3
if D_ABEN18_N4_ABEN18_LEVELDEF eq 'N4_ABEN18'
then D_RETURN = 4
else d_return=26
return d_return
"SHOW D_RETURN
cubo_aben18_med_aben18_stored=d_return
but it doesnt work.I dont know how to put to assign or to see what I want.
I report the measure, or I report the program, but then how can I see the values of the measure?
thanks in advance
