How to launch a single URL in a locked windowed-kiosk mode?

We need to launch a specific URL in Firefox in a windowed-kiosk mode.
If this can be done via a command-line that would be great. The Company want to restrict the use of the browser to this one specific URL and only allow close controls on the opened app window.
Is this possible?
Any help much appreciated!

How to disable dangerous options in on screen keyboard in kiosk mode?

Hello,
I'm trying to make a kiosk like application based on Windows 7. I run locked down IE in kiosk mode and that's quite OK.
However when I run the OSK.exe (on screen keyboard) - it has two dangerous buttons: Options (where I can click on "Control whether the On-Screen Keyboard starts when I log on" link and then run Windows explorer, and Help (where I can go to Options, and then
click on "Read the privacy statement online" link that brings me fresh IE).
Is there way to disable in OSK those two buttons?
For instance, when I run OSK on logon screen it hides the Help button and the dangerous link in the Options button, so it's possible at least for MS. Is it possible for plain customers?
Thanks in advance,
Nikolai.
WBR, Nikolai

Hi,
Based on my test and research, I’m afraid that the two options of On-screen Keyboard may not be disabled.
Instead, you can use
Tablet PC Input Panel and see how it works.
Hope this helps.

hi Andrew Thompson, ..Umm. OK..
Why did you start your message with saying hello to a particular person? That is not helpful to getting the best answers, since some people will be offended by the use of a 'public forum' for what seems like a 'private message'.
Further, though I know a lot about webstart, I don't know everything about it. Also there are many others who are capable of answering the basic questions.

As an aside, here is an example of a sand-boxed [app. that can open & save files|http://pscode.org/jws/filetest-sandbox.jnlp]. My point is that not every JWS app. needs extended permissions, and if so, the code does not need to be digitally signed.
..and keystroke file is not created..What does that mean? Did you mean 'the keystore file'?
Note that programming is a precise business, it is important to use words precisely. Further, attempting to debug things over the net on international forums makes the precision of words an order of magnitude more important.
.. so plz help me so that i launch my jar file by clicking on url.When I see the spelling 'plz' it makes my teeth grind. If you do not use the effort needed to spell all 6 letters of the word 'please', I (usually) cannot find the motivation to reply. Take that as a warning for future posts.
Since you seem to be making efforts to use language correctly, you might want to know that the word "I" should always be upper case, no matter where it appears in a sentence. The 'always upper case' rule also applies to concatenated words starting with I - like "I'm".
Don't ask me why that is, because I don't know. Hey, I just speak English - I don't study it!

How to create a single instance ASM installation on Windows using 11gR1 ?

Good afternoon,
After reading much documentation and doing a lot of Googling, I have not found a step by step procedure on how to install/use ASM for a single database instance successfully. This is using Windows XP SP2, Oracle 11gR1 (I can likely adjust any procedure that is meant for Server 2003 or 2008 as long as it is does not require a 64bit installation.)
If someone knows where I can find a step by step procedure on how to do this, that actually works and, would be so kind to share it, I'd much appreciate it.
Thank you,
John.

As we have discussed on other threads, in 11.2, its not possible to do the installation of the ASM without using the Grid Infrastructure. The reason is ASM instance can be created using the ASMCA only in 11.2 which would run only from the Grid Home. So if you are willing to use ASM in 11.2, you have to go through either on 64bit windows, or 32 bit linux. Other than this, you can use 11.1 and/or 10.2 where DBCA can be used for the same.

Handling Dynamic pay loads using a Single URL

Hi All,
I need to integrate SAP R/3 to a Third party web portal using SAP XI. Portal will communicate with 15+ messages. The third party portal is asking me to provide a single URL to send tje XML Messages. the problem is each message is having different structure from other. We have to recognize the message by seeing the header. The header (root node) will contain message number (like Msg01, Msg02, Msg03 and so on...) , . They have provided us a XSD file, which contains all the messages as complex type , which i can able to upload as External Definitaion. But in the message interface only one message i can use at a time as output message. i,e msg01 or msg03 or msg03 etc... . But the third part portal will send any of message out of 15 messages. So how can i generate single URL to accept dynamically any of 15 message. Also i am getting a confusion which sender adapter to use . Can anybody guide me how to handle this situation?

Hi,
you can use one java mapping in the advanced receiver determination as I mentioned. Which does not need to have a unified message format.
Enhanced Receiver Determination
Use
You use an enhanced receiver determination to have a mapping program determine the receivers of the message dynamically at runtime. Instead of creating the receivers in the receiver determination manually, you assign a mapping to the receiver determination and this returns a list of receivers at runtime.
A typical usage case is if you do not yet know the names of the receivers at configuration time. In this case, you can define a mapping program, for example, which reads a list of receivers from a table or from the payload of the message at runtime.
After Java Mapping you have already assigned the 15+ different messages to the right receiver you intend to send the request. You can just carry on with normal configuration from here, perform mapping if you need in the interface determination step. etc. Since you don't have one unified Message format for the 15 different messages, you probably need implemented all mappings in Java. Because message mapping does not work, since you have only one outbound interface from Portal (15 different requests are labeld with same interface name). Nevertheless, with java mapping it is not a problem to check the root node at first and carry out the wished mapping.
Summarize here a bit:
1. defined ONE Message Outbound interface e.g. MI_OUT_Portal for different Portal request (you could define this interface based on some random MT, does not matter at this point)
2. define one Interface mapping which map the MI_OUT_Portal to Receivers, Receivers is located in SAP BASIS (standard XI content from SAP)
In this interface you should have to refer one java mapping which read the XML payload from portal request and find out who is the receiver. This should be quite easy. You could even configure it in one external Database which msg goes to which receiver and find out it in the runtime.
3. You need mapping from different message typ to the wished receiver, these 15 request messages will probably has 15 different inbound interfaces, you will need 15 different interface mapping if every request message has to be mapped before it can pass through to the receiver application. These mappings could be done in one java mapping again.
4. configure Receiver Determination with advanced RD in Configuration with the Interface mapping which implemented in step2
5. configure Interface determination and receiver agreement

Hai

How to pass a single quote in a URL using Javascript

Can someone tell me how to pass a single quote in a URL using Javascript. I have created a Javascript funciton in which I pass several column values from an APEX report.
The URL for the report link I am using is "JAVASCRIPT:passBack('#EMP_ID#','#Name#','#e-mail#')"
The problem occurs with the Name and e-mail columns contain a single quote (i.e. James O'Brien)

Thank you Saad, that worked.
Since I built the report using type 'SQL Query (PL/SQL function fody returning SQL query)' I had to add some additional quotes to get it to work.
i.e.
replace(EMP_EMAIL_NAME,'''''''',''\'''''')
or
replace(EMP_EMAIL_NAME,chr(39),''\'''''')
Thanks for the help,
Jason

How can I find the URL for an iCal calendar in iCloud so I can make a link to it on a web page.

I have a single iCal calendar that I want people to access through my webpage. How can I find the URL so that they can view the calendar without having to subscribe to it. I converted to iCloud from .Mac and I can see that changes to this calendar are not showing up.

Mmmh.. i see... I don't know wether it is possible for people just check calendars without subscribing to them... I have been sharing some calendars in my website (maybe you can have a look at it in order to check wether it could be a possible solution for you)

Any way to add a URL variable to EVERY SINGLE url in the site, all at once?

Hi,
I'm managing a web application, and we're looking at changing from using cookies, to passing session variables in every HTTP request to maintain session information.
So basically, I have a variable that needs to be appended to every single URL in the entire site - not just in links, but in cflocation tags etc.
Is there any way to just ADD information to the end of every URL, without otherwise CHANGING anything in that URL?
This site is hand-coded, but I have access to Dreamweaver CS3, so I thought I'd ask if it was possible - it'd save me a bunch of time!
Thanks,
Joe

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I am familiar with DW's basic find/replace functions, but I don't think it'll work in this case.
See, the URL's are almost ALL unique. Many of them already include other URL variables... This is a pretty server-intensive web application, with a lot of data manipulation and database reads/writes.
So I was hoping for a function that could find all URL's (it could just look for a string containing .cfm), and append the code to include one more variable to the URL.
I see there's a way to use a regex in the find/replace tool, but it'd probably take me as long to write and debug the regex as it'd take to manually mod the URLs lol.
Thanks for any ideas!

It depends on how unique each URL is but you could try the Find and Replace function.

How to Launch an Integration Builder under two different java versions

How to Launch an Integration Builder under two different java versions     1
1. Situation     2
2. How To Do     2
2.1 jre preparation     2
2.2 Put them into the system     2
2.3 Execute a Java Web Start under jre 1.4.x version     3
2.4 Change Java Runtime Versions     3
2.5 Launch an Integration Builder     6
1. Situation
OS: windows 2000 pro English
Java version: jdk 1.5.x was already installed. (Its not permitted to change.)
I dont have any authorization to install any software on the PC.
But I need to use an Integration Builder.
I already knew URLs of an Integration Builder (http://<hostname>:50000/rep/start/repository.jnlp).
2. How To Do
At this moment, an Integration Builder (XI 3.0) can be launch under jre 1.4.x environment (on windows).
2.1 jre preparation
I download j2re-1_4_2_10-windows-i586-p.exe from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html
I installed it on my home PC and copied all files from C:\Program Files\Java\ j2re1.4.2_10\ into my USB.
2.2 Put them into the system
I pasted j2re1.4.2_10 folder from my USB into the windows 2000 pro system.
Finally, I could list up all of javaws.exe under this system.
c:\j2re1.4.2_10\javaws\javaws.exe
c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_05\bin\javaws.exe
c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_05\jre\bin\javaws.exe
c:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_05\bin\javaws.exe
2.3 Execute a Java Web Start under jre 1.4.x version
I executed c:\j2re1.4.2_10\javaws\javaws.exe .
2.4 Change Java Runtime Versions
Go to File-> Preferences -> Java
As you can see, it indicates 1.5 version.
Click [FIND] button.
Click [NEXT] button.
Click the j2re1.4.2_10 folder.
Click [NEXT] button.
A JRE Finder is able to find javaw.exe automatically. Or you can indicate C:\j2re1.4.2_10\bin\javaw.exe directly.
Click [NEXT] button.
Finally, there are two Java Runtime Versions. Now you need to uncheck the Enabled column of 1.5 version and check 1.4 version.
Click [OK] button.
Well, in the General tab, I selected None for Proxies.
2.5 Launch an Integration Builder
In the Location field, I typed the URL of an Integration Builder jnlp.
http://<hostname>:50000/rep/start/repository.jnlp
SAP Integration Builder comes up inside Applications area.
Select it and click [Start] button.
If you click Environment-> Integration Builder (Configuration), you can launch Integration Builder: Configuration.

I am not getting anywhere with deploying my application or
applet.
I have set up my bc4j project. It contains all my VO info,
links, application module. (proj a)
I then have another project with DbInfo in it(has all my rowset
info), Multiple Frames, and my Applet.java file.
Actually I have an Applet.java file and a Application.java file
because I was seeing if both/either worked. Anyway they seem the
same, except for that extra window that comes up when you run the
applet.
I follow the steps in the oracle directions (from earlier post).
And all seems ok. But at ---->
[*] Select the subdirectory under myhtml where your applet's HTML
file
is located, and enter the directory path of the 'staging'
directory you
created in step 3 above, if different from the default.</li>
[*]Select the HTML files that JDeveloper created to run your
applet.</li>
[*]Select all of the Java source files in your project that make
up the
applet.</li>
I have no HTML file associated with my applet, at least that I
know of.
So do I need to create one, or should it of been done
automatically.
Also, I trying to figure out what will be the best way to deploy
my project. Applet or stand alone application is what my first
choices have been so far. I have read that there is some issues
with applets being served from a different server than the
database. So a stand alone application was my front runner, but
I haven't gotten either way to work yet.

How to launch My Own Application by clicking a embedded link in iPhone

Hi All
Does anyone know how to launch my own application by clicking a embedded link in iPhone? same thing like you click a phone number , and then the phone application will be launched.
Thanks
-Tommy

You have to place the URL types your application handles in the Info.plist - see LaunchMe's for the format.
You'll do best opening it in a "plain text format" (right-click, open as), as it's a nested array instead of just a set of values, and it's easiest seen/modified in its native XML.

XCB - how to launch and show an application (terminal for example)?

Hello, everyone!
I'm trying to learn XCB, but all of the tutorials I've found so far do not explain how can XCB used as a window manager.
I understand how to draw a single window and add a string to it, but how can I launch something from it and show it to the user?

XCB is an implementation of the client side of the X protocol. In other words, it's a library for writing X applications and window managers; it's not a window manager itself.
If you're interested in learning about how window managers launch applications, you probably want to read up on fork() and execve(). This is essentially how all processes are created on a Linux system (from init, a shell, window manager, etc.).
Also, if you're interested in learning how window managers work, a good place to start might be tinywm. It's a single C file intended to be the bare minimum to be a window manager. It uses Xlib though, not XCB, but at this point your goal should be to understand the concepts. Somebody out there may have created an XCB version by now, anyway...

How to launch a function/procedure without suspending the parent process?

Hi everybody,
I would like to know if I can define something as follows in PLSQL:
procedure master
begin
call a procedure_child;
End master;
I would like that the procedure master does not suspend the execution and wait that the procedure_child finishes in order to resume the executions with the further code.
Thanks a lot in advanced

How To Launch Servlet from Desktop App

Hello Everyone,
I recently started my programing in JavaEE. First lesson was Servlets.
My servlet takes the name and a number from a user using a html form and returns a wellcoming message to the user and calculates PI with "number" decimals.
Well it works using a html form but the next exercise is to launch the servlet from a desktop application. I searched like 2 hours on google and different sites for this. I saw a hint about creating a framework(code was writen in 2001).
I really really have no idea how to launch the Servlet from a desktop client application.

The exercise says:
PI Servlet
Write a servlet capable of calculating the PI number with a specified number of decimals. Access this servlet:
1. From a browser, using a HTML form
2. From a desktop application
For the calculation of PI use Machin formula PI/4 = 4 arctan(1/5) - arctan(1/239) or a similar one.
For the calculation of arctan function use Taylor series: arctan(x) = x - (x^3)/3 + (x^5)/5 - (x^7)/7 + (x^9)/9 ...
My servlet looks like this: without the Methods for calculating PI:
protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
    throws ServletException, IOException {
         try {
            int len = request.getContentLength();
            byte[] input = new byte[len];
            ServletInputStream sin = request.getInputStream();
            int c, count = 0 ;
            while ((c = sin.read(input, count, input.length-count)) != -1) {
                count +=c;
            sin.close();
            String inString = new String(input);
            int index = inString.indexOf("=");
            if (index == -1) {
                response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_BAD_REQUEST);
                response.getWriter().print("Eroare la servlet");
                response.getWriter().close();
                return;
            String value = inString.substring(index + 1);
            //decode application/x-www-form-urlencoded string
            String decodedString = URLDecoder.decode(value, "UTF-8");
            int decc = Integer.parseInt(decodedString);
            String result = CalculatePI(decc).toString();
            PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
            try {
            out.println("<html>");
            out.println("<head>");
            out.println("<title>Pi Servlet</title>");
            out.println("</head>");
            out.println("<body>");
            out.println("<h1>Pi Servlet </h1>");
            out.println("<p> Wellcome <br /> PI cu "+ decodedString + "zecimale este: <p>");
            out.println("<br />" + result);
            out.println("</body>");
            out.println("</html>");
        } finally {
            out.close();

How can launch an event in javascript?

Hi, i´m doing an app in jsp, but i´m using a framework in javascript, css... my problem is... how can launch an event in javascript?
I have a menu bar in javascript, and i want launch an event in each option, how?
Thanks,

Hi Victor,
well, onMouseUp("blablup");
I do not finally get your problem - do you want to send an event? So just add it to the URL and send the URL -or do you want to excut the form? Why then not add the "event" to a hiden field in the form and execut that form then?
In the handler you can ask for the details of the hidden field.
I think it is not exactly what you are fter - but it could be that this is anyay a solution.

Oliver
