HT3576 Why do I need VZN messaging (at additional cost)

I received my iphone 5 - five days ago...
I chose to continue NOT using messaging services (BLOCKED them as always) since I did not wish to further complicate my life & throw my money at something I did not want or remotely appreciate;
By doing so, I absolutely CAN NOT get notification of voicemail messages from Verizon through Apple servers!
So, if I am out of cell range and Verizon takes a message, I will not be aware unless I call and check for messages on a regular basis.
When Verizon faced the issue they determined in Apple's case, I must pay for an unwanted service (messaging) on their new phone (Iphone 5) in order to get something I always received previously as an included feature. Ron, the very capable technician, indicated it appeared the ONLY answer after exhaustive workaround testing.
So, in this case, it now costs me $120+ a year to get VoiceMail notification due to the manner that Apple is doing business with respect to Verizon Wireless and their Voice Mail feature.

Well good news for you. 10.6.8 is Snow Leopard, so you are you are good to go for upgrade to Mountain Lion.
Nix on the 2009 Mac to ATV mirroring. Video hardware in the newer models are what make this possible. You would be disappointed with the performance trying it on an older Mac without this newer video hardware, like with AirParrot.

Fault message types: Why do we need them?

Hi guys,
I have a bpm scenario created, tested and working.
This bpm starts with a async receive, a Sync Send to a R3 system by an ABAP proxy and a final async send to the original system.
I'm contemplating exception handling and other type of errors. Meaning, if the abap proxy dumps I can raise an exception and map it on the XI environment. The thing is, on sxmb_moni I get the exception handler, with the exception texts, id's, etc... from the R3 being mapped to the XI fault message type.
But the problem is I can't get to map the text from the fault message type into any field from the response of the original system.
I've searched the forum and I've seen that this area is surrounded by doubts and questions...
But in the end I'm forced to place the question, why do I need the fault message types? What use can I give them, besides of the cute little thunder on the sxmb_moni?
Thanks for your attention guys

Hi Krishna,
I've read the SAP description about Fault Message Types but I'm still struggling on how to use them correctly.
Why do we need them if I can't do nothing with it on the BPM side? After the mapping of the FMT, I'd like to acess it so that I can send a description back to the original system...The thing is, in BPM you can't acess the FMT, you can only create a new BRANCH (on a block step) for it...
I've tried to acess the description text on trace which comes with the message, but it seems that the trace only serves for posting info, and not for getting any...
The Mapping Runtime Constants have some information where you can read some descriptions, but nothing related to the errors....You can read the Receiver service, sender, interface_namespace, but nothing from the ERROR tag...
Is there a way to get the description? Or anything related to the error tag?
Thanks in advance

# Yes, if you go to accounts.firefox.org, sign out, you will now be signed out.

I am not exactly sure why the menu did not detect the password change or if it was stored incorrectly after you changed it? But after storing the correct password you can manage any duplicate passwords in the password manager.[[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]]

WIFi needs to enabled and you need to be connected to a network. Alternatively, you need Cellular Data to be "on". (Settings>General>Network). But it propably is a problem with your router (at least, it often is with me), provided you are using your private router. Try schutting it off and turning it on again. This usually sorts problems like this out.

What am I doing wrong with the isNew() method? and why do I need the other methods?

I have coded an include jsp like this.
          <%@page language="Java"%>
          <%@page import="javax.servlet.http.HttpSession"%>
          <%!
          String iContextPath;
          String iCommonPath;
          String iImagesPath;
          %>
          <%
          iContextPath = request.getContextPath();
          iCommonPath = iContextPath + "/common";
          iImagesPath = iCommonPath + "/images";
          System.err.println(" here ");
          HttpSession thisSession = request.getSession( false );
          if( thisSession.isNew() ){
          System.err.println("isnew");
          response.sendRedirect( iContextPath + "/common/login.jsp" );
          %>
          Now I also have a redirect.jsp in the root of an application that contains
          this.
          <html>
          <body>
          <%
          System.err.println("Redirecting at this time from the root");
          response.sendRedirect( request.getContextPath() + "/secureArea/");
          %>
          </body>
          </html>
          And I have a logout.java servlet that looks like this.
          package com.pch.epics;
          import java.io.IOException;
          import javax.servlet.ServletException;
          import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
          import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
          import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
          import weblogic.servlet.security.ServletAuthentication;
          public class Logout extends HttpServlet{
          private static final String CONTENT_TYPE = "text/html";
          //Initialize global variables
          public void init() throws ServletException{
          //Process the HTTP Get request
          public void doGet( HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
          response ) throws ServletException, IOException{
          String username = "";
          if( request.getUserPrincipal() == null ){
          username = "Unknown";
          } else {
          username = request.getUserPrincipal().getName();
          System.err.println( "ePics logging out '" + username + "'" );
          request.getSession( false ).invalidate();
          ServletAuthentication.logout( request );
          ServletAuthentication.invalidateAll( request );
          ServletAuthentication.killCookie( request );
          response.sendRedirect( request.getContextPath() );
          //Process the HTTP Post request
          public void doPost( HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse

          doGet( request, response );
          //Clean up resources
          public void destroy(){
          First of all, why won't the isNew() report a new session in the server log?
          EVERY request coming in says it's an old request (ie it's not new). The
          J2EE Applications and BEA WebLogic Server book from BEA says this should
          work.
          My second question is why do I need to do those three lines from
          ServletAuthentication to logout a user? Ok, maybe I'm from the MS world,
          but that seems excessive, especially since I've already done a
          session.invalidate() right before it, but the bea docs say I'm required to
          do all four!


When you invalidate a session. You invalidate the session of the web
          application that your jsp/servlet is part of. It is possible to have more
          than one web application on WLS and have them share a authentication info.
          While these applications share authentication they do not share their
          sessions so because of that calling session invalidate does not kill all the
          sessions. ServletAuthentication is needed to kill all the sessions and do a
          complete logout from WLS.

What are smart mailboxes and why do i need both smart and "normal" ones?

What are smart mailboxes and why do I need both smart and "normal" mailboxes?

Hi Kingoftypos,
Thanks for that clarification. So, now it appears that the ultimate purpose of a Smart Mailbox is to point to all emails that meet the criteria in a single place, so if they are spread among several mailboxes, you will be able to see them all together. Here is an article from Apple that describes it:
A Smart Mailbox displays in one location messages that are stored in other mailboxes, so you don’t have to move messages between mailboxes. The messages displayed by a Smart Mailbox are based on criteria you define, and are automatically updated to include new messages that match your criteria. For example, you might create a Smart Mailbox that displays all messages found in all mailboxes from a specific sender.
If you change a message in a Smart Mailbox, such as marking the message as read or unread, or moving or deleting the message, the change is reflected in the mailbox where the message is actually stored.
So, adam, I would think that, if you had mail going to a lot of different places, and wanted to be able to see a particular set of those in a single place, you would use a smart mailbox. Maybe use the rules to direct your mail to different places to start with, but a smart mailbox to bring a set of common ones all together into a single smart mailbox?
Maybe you have Rules move your Amazon mail to an Amazon folder and your Apple mail to an Apple folder, but then you have a Smart Mailbox that contains any mail that has the word "Receipt" in the Subject line?
Just a thought....
Cheers,
GB

Why do I need to pass params. to getConnection when using OracleDataSource?

Hi,
I've been experimenting with Tomcat 5.5 and using Oracle proxy sessions. After many false starts, I finally have something working, but I have a question about some of the code.
My setup:
In <catalina_home>/conf/server.xml I have this section:
<Context path="/App1" docBase="App1"
debug="5" reloadable="true" crossContext="true">
<Resource name="App1ConnectionPool" auth="Container"
type="oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource"
driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
factory="oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSourceFactory"
url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@127.0.0.1:1521:oddjob"
username="app1" password="app1" maxActive="20" maxIdle="10"/>
</Context>
In my App directory, web.xml has:
<resource-ref>
<description>DB Connection</description>
<res-ref-name>App1ConnectionPool</res-ref-name>
<res-type>oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
And finally, my java code:
package web;
import oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource;
import oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleConnection;
import javax.naming.*;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.Statement;
import java.util.Properties;
public class ConnectionPool {
String message = "Not Connected";
public void init() {
OracleConnection conn = null;
ResultSet rst = null;
Statement stmt = null;
try {
Context initContext = new InitialContext();
Context envContext = (Context) initContext.lookup("java:/comp/env");
OracleDataSource ds = (OracleDataSource) envContext.lookup("App1ConnectionPool");
message = "Here.";
if (envContext == null)
throw new Exception("Error: No Context");
if (ds == null)
throw new Exception("Error: No DataSource");
if (ds != null) {
message = "Trying to connect...";
conn = (OracleConnection ) ds.getConnection("app1","app1");
Properties prop = new Properties();
prop.put("PROXY_USER_NAME", "xxx/yyy");
if (conn != null) {
message = "Got Connection " + conn.toString() + ", ";
          conn.openProxySession(OracleConnection.PROXYTYPE_USER_NAME,prop);
stmt = conn.createStatement();
//rst = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT 'Success obtaining connection' FROM DUAL");
rst = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT count(*) from sch_header");
if (rst.next()) {
message = "# of NJ schools: " + rst.getString(1);
rst.close();
rst = null;
stmt.close();
stmt = null;
conn.close(); // Return to connection pool
conn = null; // Make sure we don't close it twice
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
// Always make sure result sets and statements are closed,
// and the connection is returned to the pool
if (rst != null) {
try {
rst.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {
rst = null;
if (stmt != null) {
try {
stmt.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {
stmt = null;
if (conn != null) {
try {
conn.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {
conn = null;
public String getMessage() {
return message;
My question concerns this line of code:
conn = (OracleConnection ) ds.getConnection("app1","app1");
Why do I need to pass in the user name/password? Other examples, that I see simply have:
conn = (OracleConnection ) ds.getConnection();
But when I use this code, I get the following error:
java.sql.SQLException: invalid arguments in call
     at oracle.jdbc.driver.DatabaseError.throwSqlException(DatabaseError.java:112)
     at oracle.jdbc.driver.DatabaseError.throwSqlException(DatabaseError.java:146)

     at oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource.getConnection(OracleDataSource.java:165)
     at web.ConnectionPool.init(ConnectionPool.java:32)
... more follows, but I trimmed to keep posting shorter :-)
Is there anyway that I can avoid having to pass the user/password to getConnection()? It seems that I should be able to control the user/password used to establish the connection pool directly in the server.xml file and not have to supply it again in my java code. In earlier experiments when I was using "import java.sql.*" and using it's DataSource, I can use getConnection() without having to pass user/password, but then the Oracle Proxy methods don't work.
I'm a java newbie so I guess that I should be happy that I finally figured out how to get proxy connections working. However it seems that I am missing something and I want this code to be as clean as possible.
If anyone can point me to a better method of using connection pools and proxy sessions, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Alan

Hi,
Thanks for the replies.
Avi, I'm not really sure what you are getting at with the setConnectionProperties. I looked at the javadoc and saw that I can specify user/password, but since I'm using a connection pool, shouldn't my Datasource already have that information?
Maro, your comment about not having set the user/password for the Datasource is interesting. Are you referring to setting it in the server.xml configuration file? As you can see I did specify it in addition to setting the URL. In my code example, I'm not having to respecify the URL, but maybe I have a typo in my config file that is causing the username/password not to be read properly??
The other weird thing is that I would have expected to see a pool of connections for user App1 in V$SESSION, but I see nothing. If I use a utility to repeatedly call a JSP page that makes use of my java example, then I do see v$session contain brief sessions for App1 and ADAVEY (proxy). The response time of the JSP seems much quicker than I would have expected if there wasn't some sort of physical connection already established though. Maybe this is just more evidence of not having my server.xml configured properly?
Thanks.
