I need some piece of advice

Hello everybody
Well, I got a question, which is more a "good way of programming" question than a technical question.
I'm making an application which needs to connect to a server, so first I have a JPanel where there is some JTtextField and JPasswordField for authentication.
Then after authentication, the panel is changed for another JPanel (which shows some menus, etc.).
Well, my question is, do you think it is better to have only one class (extends JFrame), with all the code for both JPanel, or 3 classes, (one main class with the JFrame, one with the ConnectionPanel and one with the last Panel) and launching the main class which will handle the other classes ( so, when the connection panel will "send" to the main class that the client is connected, the main class will switch with the other panel).
What is better for cpu charge, memory, etc ?
If I make 3 classes, do you think i'll meet some problems later, if I need to acceed to an object contained in another class ?
I hope you'll understand my question.
Thanks
Mx

You could do it all in one class but have authentication() stand alone so you can call the authentication later, but use the output differently. Then your class could call the authentication() and figure the output panel based on the success|failure of the authenticity.

Just ordered a MP and need some "set-up" advice...

Hi All,
Like some, I waited all through Nov, and Dec to see if Apple was going to come out with an "octo" configuration and can't wait any longer. I just ordered one through Amazon as well as 2 extra gigs (2x1gb) of RAM from OWC. I will probably be ordering a couple of Maxline Pro 500g for a RAID 0 drive.
I am upgrading from a REV A iMac G5 and a MDD dual 1.25 G4. I use my iMac for design software (PS, AI etc.) and the G4 for FCS and iTunes. I have an extra 250gb HD in the G4. In addition I have a 250g external (usb 2...yuk) drive and another external 500g FW800 Lacie drive that I use for backups and an occasion PS scratch disk.
Does anyone have any reccomendations on a good configuration for design and Final Cut work using my existing equip? I.E. Should I keep the music on the G4, or use it as a backup? I have been doing so much research since the MacPro's came out that my head feels like it's gonna blow.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
P.S. If Apple releases the "Octo Mac" at Macworld, I'm gonna slit my wrists.

Of course we're not allowed to speculate here on these forums, but last I heard (SPECULATION!!!) was that the octo will be an upgradeable solution to those of us who have the current MacPros... but don't count on what I say - PLEASE!!
Anyway -- I've been trying to hang onto my G4 as a seperate and controlable tower for a while... I must say - I'm going to finally get rid of it asap. Few things to keep in mind...
You need SATA drives in the MacPro - I'll wager your G4 has ATA drives. Don't work in the MacPro - EXCEPT you can slide it in your lower optical bay under the DVD drive and link it there... it's an ATA bus thingie.
Here's what I did... I bought a bunch of 320gig drives for about 100us and hooked the two machines up via Gigabite ethernet. Then, just copied the files to the new drives. And actually -- speed was fast enough that I was able to run FCS with the media on the network drives. Workable solution for the short term.
Good luck,

Need some graphics card advice for using 3D and Adobe

Below are the specs for the workstation I just bought. I'm planning on upgrading the graphics card to a GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) 1280MB. The chassis is pretty small, and I'm concerned that it might get too hot. Does anyone have any advice as to whether this machine can handle this card, and whether or not I should by extra fans, or a water cooling system for the card? Thanks in advance!

Here are the major failings of that "workstation":
1) The power supply is much too weak to handle an upgrade to a GTX 570. Heck, that PSU might not have been capable of actually handling even its claimed 350W - but more like 200W. As such, it's barely capable of handling even that "workstation"'s base configuration with integrated Intel HD 2000 graphics. You will definitely need a new power supply (at least 550W, but preferably 750W to 850W) right away before you can even upgrade the graphics card at all.
2) That PC has only one hard disk. Adobe requires a minimum of at least one additional hard disk (preferably two or more additional disks) in order to run Premiere Pro acceptably well.
3) Change out the H67 motherboard for a Z68 motherboard. H67 cannot overclock the "limited-overclockable" i7-2600 CPU at all. And even with a Z68 motherboard, the fastest that you can run that non-K i7-2600 would be 3.9GHz.
4) As you stated, that small case will not be enough. You will need a much bigger case to handle the load from Premiere Pro plus all of the hardware upgrades that I'm suggesting.
Also, keep in mind that the company only offers "lifetime" technical support if you don't tinker with the PC's innards at all - not even a minor hardware upgrade or only for a vendor-approved hardware upgrade such as RAM. Once you open that case for a non-vendor-approved hardware upgrade (e.g. an upgraded power supply, an upgraded GPU or upgraded cooling), you will no longer have technical support from that company that you're getting the PC from.
As currently equipped, that system will run about 25 to 30 times slower than a fast PC. Look at payal's 622-second result running 5.0.3 on the PPBM5 results list, with the same CPU, chipset and integrated graphics as your system: It is already more than 12 times slower (in terms of the Relative Performance Index) than a fast system - and that system is already running two disks. With only one disk for absolutely everything - the OS, media, projects, previews, cache and exports - it would be much slower than even that because SATA is only a half-duplex interface, not a full-duplex interface. As a half-duplex interface, SATA can only deliver data transfers in one direction at a time. However, video editing programs like PPro require simultaneous reads and writes. This means that the single disk must wait for data transfers in a given direction to be completed before any data starts transferring in the opposite direction.

A very new user needs some help and advice....

Hi,
I have just taken the bold leap into Indesign and this is the first day of my 30 day trial.
I need help and advice from you good poeple...please.
I have been successfully creating A5 booklets (folded A4) using MS Word and printing to a desktop printer. MS Word sorted out my page order for me at printing time so the correct pages were put together.
I have been reading as much information as I could find but I am still unable to do the same in Indesign.
I'm looking forward to using the advanced layout features and having control over what I do but, I need to work out this basic step before I go any further.
I hope what I have explained makes sense.
Regards
John

So presumably you create a new document, A5 portrait, facing pages. Make sure your ducument page count is a multiple of 4.
Create, type, tweak, ponder, edit, smile, save.
To create you booklet using InDesign, from the file menu select Print Booklet.
You will probably need to jump back and forth from the Print Settings button adjusting Paper Size, Orientation, Color, and from the Print Booklet tab set for 2-up Saddle Stitch.
Much has been posted on this topic, these are the basics, Print Booklet is not the best module Adobe ever wrote, IMO

I need some L440 buying advice, related to memory.

I am customising the memory in the order form. I can see the following options:
4GB PC3-12800 DDR3L SDRAM 1600MHz SODIMM
8GB PC3-12800 DDR3L (2 DIMM)
8GB PC3-12800 DDR3L SDRAM 1600MHz SODIMM
16GB PC3-12800 DDR3L (2 DIMM)
What's the difference between 8GB (2 DIMM) and the normal 8GB? If I choose the normal 8GB, do I get a DIMM slot free in my new laptop?
Is there any ways to make sure that only a single 8GB DIMM is shipped? I want to leave a slot free for future upgrade. I want 1x8GB but not 2x4GB

Each person has individual needs, preferences and resources. Back in January 2006 I did the same as klaus1, in buying one of the last remaining new iMac G5 (20", iSight) because of my large collection of PPC software, including Adobe Creative Suite 2 Premium, as well as numerous Classic applications. The iMac G5 was, and still is, powerful enough for me. I have no need whasoever for running Windows applications on my Macs, as I have both Windows desktop and laptop for that. I have no regrets for my decision, and have enjoyed the iMac G5, which has not given me any of the problems reported on this forum.
If you do buy an Intel Mac, but need to continue to work with AppleWorks files, the program can be bought at reasonable cost.

I really need some decent TC advice re: constant breakdown

My eyes are spinning from the literally thousands of posts I've read on Time Capsules, problems and possible solutions.
Now I am more asking, are they really worth having?
I have had a TC for just over one month. It took hours to get set up properly, I had to go buy Ethernet cables in the end, eventually I got it working.
It backed stuff up for around 1 week, then I hit the seemingly common forever "preparing" stage, it wouldn't back up again after this.
So I deleted all TC contents (which of course totally defeats the object of backing up) and re-backed up 200GB of data via Ethernet.
Then it was ok for about another week, until we hit the forever "preparing" stage again.
So I deleted, re-backed up and off we went again.
This week, my 4/5th week of having it, its gone back to forever "preparing".
PLEASE can anyone tell me, do these TC's actually work?? And if it gets to this stage of constant preparing, is there a way to fix it so that it carries on as normal??
I just know when I walk back in to Apple with no receipt and box etc they are gonna tell me to shove off. £200 down the drain if you ask me at the moment :o(
Any advice or help would be very much appreciated, I am going insane here!! :o)

Can't help you, sorry. I have a two Time Capsule network and have tried TM on TC and external drives with different scenarios over this past year without any problems what so ever I do feel that a well setup and configured network is the key to get reliability from these types of devices.
So in the end I use Time Capsule under the Finder and afp, its like a home server which I can access on my home network and over the internet when I'm out of state. I don't burn to disc or use flash drives anymore because of the above method.
Regarding Time Machine I use it to back up my other Macs onto firewire drives; I've never felt TC is the way to go to hold valuable information over the long haul.

Need some advices with OBIEE

Hi guys,
At the moment I am doing an internship somewhere, and I am supposed to visualise some data from an Oracle database into a Google Map.
The data should be fake, because the application will be a showcase.
I need some start-up hints, because actually I don't know where to start and with which programs.
First of all a little background.
The following programs are installed on my laptop:
- Oracle DB (1013)
- Oracle Example Schemas
- Oracle WebLogic (103)
- Oracle BI enterprise (101340)
- JDeveloper
This is what I want:
- Create a database or schema with fake data. The fake data should consist of addresses. (for the Google Map)
- The combination with BI enterprise is a requirement, part of the internship programme.
- Combination with Google map functionality.
Maybe someone can give me some advices in how to begin. Which techniques I should use or some useful tutorials.
I would really appreciate if someone can give me a heads up!

The [Oracle by Example|http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_bi/bi_ee_1013/index.html] website has many good step by step tutorials on OBIEE so that would be a good start. Having said OBIEE doesn't support "heat maps" or overlaying data on maps out of the box. They are some 3rd party tools out there but I don't think you want to go there. From my point of view anyone asking you to use OBIEE to overlay data on Google Maps doesn't know what OBIEE should be used for (and probably doesn't know Google Maps either).

Business Delegate pattern - need some advice

Hi. First let me apologize for the long post. I could see no other way. I�m building a system that quite large and I need some advice. The system is a type of transaction system, let�s suppose a shopping cart. I�m using struts taglibs and tiles for presentation, struts proper for controller, and POJOs for business logic. Also I�m using OJB for my data tier.
Now I�ve been reading Pro Jakarta Struts (Apress), which BTW is a recommended read to anyone with novice experience in struts and related technologies. I�ve assimilated most of the techniques and patterns described in the book, and most of them make sense to me. However, I�ve hit a snag while reading the Business Delegate and Service Locator patterns.
The way I had though of building my application before reading the book, was to have a wrapper class, such as the following:
public class ShoppingCart {
private IAuthenticationService authenticationService;
private ITransactionService transactionService;
public ShoppingCart() {
     authenticationService = new DBAuthenticationService();
     authenticationService = new DBTransactionService();
public login(String username, String password) {
     String sessionToken = authenticationService.logon(username, password);
     return sessionToken;
private boolean isValidUser(sessionToken) {
     bolean validUser = authenticationService.isValidUser(sessionToken);
     return validUser;
public performTransaction(sessionToken, TransactionVO) {
     if (!isValidUser(sessionToken) {
          throw new AuthenticationException();
     transcationService.performTransaction(TransactionVO);
public editPreferences(sessionToken, PreferencesVO) {
     if (!isValidUser(sessionToken) {
          throw new AuthenticationException();
     authenticationService.performTransaction(PreferencesVO);
}My idea was that my wrapper class would isolate all the business logic and could perform login service in case my application was ever to be used with other presentation layer than struts (standalone client, web services). However I believe that this overlaps the Business Delegate pattern and maybe even totally implements it. The way I understand the code I�m reading in the book, they suggest having a BD for each major service such as AuthenticationServiceBD, TransactionServiceBD, etc� However this would break my single point of entry for authenticating users. I really need some advice on my design and how it fits with the BD and SL patterns (or others). I would also like to know what you think/recommend of my authentication strategy.
thanks in advance
Raphael

Thanks for your reply. This however, I understood. My concern is regarding my application in regards to business delegate pattern. You see I have this class (simplified for clarity):
public class ShoppingCart {
   private ILoginService ls = new DBLoginService();
   private ITransactionService ts = new DBTransService();
   // and so on for all services I offer.
   // then I mirror all the calls of my private interfaces
   // and pass them through internally
   public String sessionToken login(String username, String password) {
        ls.login(username, password);
   public boolean addToCart(sessionToken, itemNo) {
        // check session
        ts.addToCart(sessionToken, itemNo);
   // and so on
}Multiple questions for this one:
1) Am I not already implementing the Business Delegate pattern with my ShoppingCart class since all interfaces are private and all calls are mirrored from the wrapper class (ShoppingCart) to the private interfaces? All services are implemented as POJOs and I am not using JNDI at the present so I don't use the ServiceLocator pattern.
2) I store a reference to the wrapper class (ShoppingCart) in the ServletContext so I can grab it from my Action classes. What do you think of this approach?
3) How many BDs should an application contain. In my case I use just one. What is the advantage of using more?
4) I create my own session tokens in case I ever want to use to business code in a non-web applications where sessions are not available readily. This brings about the problem that I can't pass the interfaces directly to the Action classes because the login session needs to be checked before any calls to services. So all methods include a sessionToken parameter which I use to check the session. This way, if I want to expose some of the services through web services, I can still use a login. What do you think of this approach.
5) Any other remarks are very welcome...
I really need help with this from an experienced programmer. Most things I can handle on my own but with this type of design issue, books just don't cut it. I need experience. I would really apreciate some feedback.
Raphael
ps: I would give all my Duke dollars for this (I only have 30), but I'm not sure how. If you want them I can create a dummy question and give them to you.

I need some advice...

Hi, I'm not quite sure where this topic should go exactly as it isn't about a specific topic. So plz fogive me if it's wrongly placed in your opinion.
Anyway, I've been a long time fan of Linux and I don't want to have to stop using it. I've just recently converted my whole computer to a linuxbox only system, as I was running winxp(uke) before and couldn't stand it. It would lag during simple tasks like going from one directory to another and for no apparent reason, which aided me in my conversion. Enough about winblows, I don't need to tell you guys why it sucks, we all have our reasons. But there is just one thing bothering me now... and that is gaming. I am a huge fan of gaming and have been doing so for quite some time now (years) and well... gaming on linux hasn't been too pleasant for obvious reasons.
1) the games I play except for quake3 are written and made to run solely on a winblows workstation.
2) Wine and Winex3 have limited, but growing support for a range of games.
3) Lastly the main game I would like to play (Steam CS 1.6) doesn't like to run on linux due to its constant updates, which throws WInex3 out of wack. Where it could have been working the day before but due to the update it no longer runs.
I'm thinking of just making a partition for winxp(uke) so that I can game, but this isn't something I'm totally willing to do.
Basically I need some advice and/or suggestions that anyone is willing to share with me.
Thank you in advance.
BTW: I'm not new to linux, I've been using it for almost 2 years now and have tried ALL of the distro's you can think of. (Arch is my distro of choice at the moment, along with slackware.)

Enemy Territory is an excellent game, and it is totally free.
I haven't played the free game from the US Army, but heard it is really good, and is totally free.
I bought Return to Castle Wolfenstein, which plays perfectly in Single player mode, but I have some trouble in multiplayer mode (and I'm not an expert either).
I bought Unreal Tournament 2004, which plays perfectly in both single player and online, but I simply suck at the game.
I bought Never Winter Nights because I know the company has a linux version you can download once you have a registered copy. I havent installed it yet, though, been playing UT2004.
Doom3 is supposedly going to have a linux installer on the CD's, like UT2004 does.
Anygame that uses OpenGL graphics instead of DirectX will prolly run under WINE or WINEX, or be easy for the original company to port (if they choose to).
There are some "up and coming" linux only OpenGL games, light flightgear (a flight simulator), and a couple of 'massive online games".
Betweet RTCW, EnemyT, Never Winter Nights, UT2004, and soon Doom3 - I have enough games to play, and thats without buying winex.
Fergettabout Windows! You simply don't need it anymore.
If you are determined to run Windows, get a removeable drive bay, and just swap boot drives when you want to swtich. Or use GRUB if you want to select from multiple OS's.
thx

I agree with LowLister, the best option for you to share the video online is to upload it to your online storage account for example : Box, Dropbox, SkyDrive (All of them provide free storage beginning from 2GB).
You can upload the files which you want to share in this online storage and then they have sharing options in which you'll will get the link of the file to be sent and send the email. You're good to go!
Tip : You can store multiple files for backup purposes.

When I burn a disc from a playlist in iTunes, the track names and artist info does not display on the disc when friends view/listen to it. This probably is an easy fix, but I need some advice.

When I burn a disc from a playlist in iTunes on my MacBook, the track names and artist info does not display on the disc when friends view/listen to it. This probably is an easy fix, but I need some advice.

No, this standard has been implemented for several decades.
How iTunes remembers audio CDs - http://support.apple.com/kb/TA27785
It is just conceivable you burned a CD that exactly matched one already in the Gracenote database. Gracenote uses track count and duration to decide what CD it is you have in a computer. If you have one that matches that it will label it. You could conceivably even have one that matches it that is not the correct one.
This script will only work on Macs:

Having some serious issues with my iPhone and need some advice

I'm going to these two issues which have been occuring with me for the past weeks-
1.) I am facing a problem with my iPhone 5's lightning port or the cable. This started happening all of a sudden; one second my phone is charging, and the other it is not. Even if it is slightly moved from its position, it would stop charging, and further shaking starts it again, so on and so forth. At first I thought the issue might be with my cable, so I asked my friend to bring his lightning cable to my house so we could test that. It happened again- one shake the phone will charge, another shake stops it. (Note that any kind of movement does this, not only shaking) I'm a bit skeptical about his (my friend's) cable too, though- it shows NOT CHARGING on his iPad while it is in fact actually charging. His cable is only 3-4 weeks old though, so this confuses me even more. I think the issue might be with my port, but as of now I cannot draw a valid conclusion to my problem.
2.) The second problem is that I've noticed my battery drains a **** lot faster now- ever since the first issue started. I manage to get my phone charging by placing it very carefully on the table and it charges overnight. However, when I pick it up in the morning, and read some news, it drains from 100% to 99% in ~60 seconds. This never happened before. Before this, it used to be at 100% for at least 10-15 minutes (might be even more). If I reboot my phone, it shows 100% again, but it still drains a lot faster now. I know because I've been using this phone for the past 4 months now, and I know when it drains and when it does nots
Please, help! I need some advice as to how I should approach this problem. My phone is in the warranty period, however, I would like to have an expert's opinion first.

Hello,
First: I've experienced the same problem with my iPhone 5. I've bought a new charger and it still did the same thing. I went to the Apple Store to get my iPhone checked out and they said that the pins inside my iPhone we're damaged, and I had to get a replacement.

The JDBC/ODBC bridge is not the best and most actively maintained piece of software in the world. Try not to use it if you have alternatives.
In Windows JDK there is JdbcOdbc.dll which contains allocEnv() and the rest of the JDBC/ODBC glue written in C. You are running the Java program on Tandem or is that the server? Does its JDK have JdbcOdbc.so or however dynamically loadable libraries are named there?

Dell Live! Value Soundblater card!!!! Need some advice

I have an old 400 that has this card installed model #CT4780. I have purchased a new Dell E30 and want to install this card in it. I have downloaded the driver pack Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe. This was listed on the website as the correct one for XP. I notice that in the old computer there is a cable from the card to the CD-Rom and also one from the card to the modem. Are these cables need in the new computer? Also will I have a conflict with the integrated sound card that came with the new computer? I have not done anything expect download the driver pack.
I know some about computers but do not like to install boards and new computers fearing some thing will go wrong. I need some advice and the procedure before I preceded. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Newer operating systems, computers, & audio cards do not require the use of the cable from the CD Rom to the soundcard. It is now handled via the IDE cable. Being that you only upgraded half of this equation (that being the computer and not the soundcard), this may be a "trial & error" situation. I do not have the experience with modem cards to comment on that one.
Finally, you will need to disable the onboard soundcard via the motherboard's Bios. Look in the MB's manual to perform this action.

Songs disappearing. Need some advice.

I need some advice regarind my ITunes library. I spent a lot of time importing all my cd's. I now have approx. 14,000 songs now. First I had put them all in as mp3's, then I heard about the quality and smaller size of AAC. I think that is where some duplicates came from. But some how I've ended up with up to 6 of a lot of my songs, at least it is showing 6 copies of many of my song in my ITunes library. But when I go to delete all but one of the songs, through ITunes, sometimes it is fine and sometimes I get the ! icon. I guess even though I left one in Itunes it actually deleted all copies. I did not know I was doing this because it doesn't show the ! icon until you go back and try to select the song. This took days and days to deleted over 6,000 duplicates.
Now I'm finding some albums are missing songs and some are missing the whole albums even though they show in Itunes. I even have gone through and tried to "FIND" the songs some are really there but most are not. So how to I go about reconstructing the library. Is it best to try and find each one or just wipe (delete) my library clean and just reimport the entire library? I'm talking about reconstructing approximately 12,000 songs and I have no idea how many cd's.
I just would like to know how you guys would handle this. Thanks for your help.

Need some advice....I just bought the new retina MacBook Pro (2,199 model) and after reading about the ghosting or burn in issues that some users are experiencing I am starring to wonder if I made the right decision. I am still waiting for my laptop to come in so I can still cancel my order. I'm seriously considering opting for the non-retina MacBook Pro instead. This will be my first Mac and I will mainly be using it to browse the web and do photo editing (I'm an amateur photographer) I know the non-retina doesn't not come with SSD and wondering how much of difference that makes. Any advice, suggestions will be welcomed
That's incorrect:
Order online and for a fee you can have an SSD.

I need some piece of advice
