  • How to get rid of /j2ee prefix from URL when I use the OC4J via Oracle HTTP server

    In 9iAS 9.0.2 Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) is pre-configured to assign requests to the Home OC4J instance via the URL-prefix "/j2ee"/
    For example, the TEST servlet under OC4J would be passed through OHS using:
    http://urmachine:urApachePort/j2ee/TEST

  • Apple supplied OS 10.6.3 dvd is ejecting from drive during OS upgrade

    I have received DVD of OS Snow Leopard (10.6.3) from Apple by post. I wanted to upgrade my existing OS 10.5.8 Leopard to 10.6.3.
    But when I was trying to insert the installation disk (OS 10.6.3) it immediately ejects from drive. I checked with other DVD and also my older DVD of OS. 10.5.5 to check the drive and those were working fine.
    I tried to run the DVD of OS Snow Leopard (10.6.3) to detect by my Mac Book Pro (5.1) using various methods but failed: (1) tried pressing C-key during boot (2) pressing option key during boot (3) tried in safe mode. all failed. I reset SMC but all failed to read the Apple supplied disk.
    I tried the Snow Leopard disk to read using my Windows PC. It was detected in Windows laptop (but .dmg file was not shown as it was not Mac OS).
    Please suggest.

    That sounds as if the disc is faulty or unsuitable.

  • How to get index of the item from table when user double click on an item

    Can anyone tell me how to get the corresponding index of a table in which
    elements are listed as array of strings? I am looking for the index of the
    item being double-clicked on?
    Thank you in advance
    Cheers,
    NQ.

    Hi NQ,
    Although the question is not thouroughly clear, I can give a few suggestions. You can use the property node for table to refer to any particular row or column of the table. The correpsonding elements in the property node will be "SelStart", "SelSize" etc. Just as a side thought, the index of a table starts with (0,0).
    I am attaching a test file. Please see if it helps you in figuring out what exactly you want. This example VI is just to help you try different options under property node (if you havent already tried)to get what you want.

  • Blank DVD +R eject from drive

    Alright, I've been burning things with these same dvd's for the past couple days without a single problem, but all of the sudden today, my drive keeps ejecting the blank dvd's. It still works fine with movie dvd's, cds, and even the same dvd+r's that have data on them. What happens is, I put a blank dvd in, it sounds like it's trying, then makes a noise like a rock is in there skipping around, then it tries again and ejects. I have a macbook pro bought december 2009 brand new. Any help would be great, thank you.

    If there was something that just needed to be cleaned, I don't think that the other types of discs would be working. Everything gets read just fine except for blank dvd's...

  • How to get my iPod out of recovery mode when itunes won't restore it

    My iPod touch is in recovery mode and will not exit it, i've tried clicking the home button and lock button in the stated order on youtube etc but it has not worked. I clicked restore on iTunes and it downloads it all and updates but then does nothing and gives me the option to restore it all over again. I honestly have no clue what to do about it.

    Loop
    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

    Hello,
    I am very new to Labview. Í have an image of an LED and wanted to find the luminance value. I got the luminance image from the IMAQ ExtractSingleColorPlane but the value is not displaying. I just wanted to know how to get the value of luminance from the IMAQ ExtractSingleColorPlane. I have attached what i have done below.
    Thanks in advance.
    Before learning about LabVIEW, learn about images.  An Image (in LabVIEW) is a "representation of an image", that is, the wire itself doesn't really have a "value", but "points to" a collection of data that can be "imaged" (i.e. looked at as through it were a picture), "manipulated" (for example, extracting a color plane, basically getting the "red channel", an image looking as through it were viewed through a red filter), and possibly returning arrays of numbers representing the intensity of the light at a certain position in the picture.

  • How to get the default selection color from JTable

    Hi, there,
    I have a question for how to get the default selection color from JTable. I am currently implementing the customized table cell renderer, but I do want to set the selection color in the table exactly the same of default table cell renderer. The JTable.getSelectionBackgroup() did not works for me, it returned dark blue which made the text in the table unreadable. Anyone know how to get the window's default selection color?
    Thanks,
    -Jenny

    The windows default selection color is dark blue. Try selecting any text on this page. The difference is that the text gets changed to a white font so you can actually see the text.
    If you don't like the default colors that Java uses then use the UIManager to change the defaults. The following program shows all the properties controlled by the UIManager:
    http://www.discoverteenergy.com/files/ShowUIDefaults.java
    Any of the properties can be changed for the entire application by using:
    UIManager.put( "propertyName", value );

  • How to get password as string back from encrypted password byte array.

    Hi All,
    I am storing encrypted password and enc key in the database.(Code included encryptPassword method for encryption and validatePassword method for validating of password). Problem is that for some reason i need to show user's password to the user as a string as he/she entered. But i am not able to convert the encrypted password from D/B to original String.
    Tell me if any body know how to get the string password back from the encrypted password byte array after seeing my existing encryption code.
    //********* Code
    private Vector encryptPassword(byte[] arrPwd)
    try
    // parameter arrPwd is the password as entered by the user and to be encrypted.

    Hi All,
    I am storing encrypted password and enc key in the
    database.(Code included encryptPassword method for
    encryption and validatePassword method for validating
    of password). Problem is that for some reason i need
    to show user's password to the user as a string as
    he/she entered. But i am not able to convert the
    encrypted password from D/B to original String.No, you are not encrypting the password in your code, you are merely signing it.
    Tell me if any body know how to get the string
    password back from the encrypted password byte array
    after seeing my existing encryption code.It is impossible to retrieve the original text out of a signature.
    You should read up on some encryption basics in order to understand the difference between signing and encrypting. Then you can find examples of how to encrypt something here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/guide/security/jce/JCERefGuide.html.
    Actually there is one class specifically for keeping keys secure, KeyStore http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/security/KeyStore.html
