Inclusion of SunPKCS11 provider in java 6 release for win64 platform

Are there plans on including a win64 version of the SunPKCS11 provider in an upcoming Java 6 jdk/jre release? I know it is not available in the 1.6.0_16 release, and I don’t believe it was added to the 1.6.0_17 release. (Another forum member posted a similar question to the cryptography topic in June of last year , but no one responded.)

I agree! The two files that are missing are SunPKCS11.jar and the native dll j2pkcs11.dll.
I guess it requires the build process to compile the j2pkcs11.dll for Win64.

Provide the java code for the following scenario.

Hi Experts,
I have tried with all the combinations for this scenario. As per my understanding i require java code for the following scenario
so that it becomes easy........
I require a Message mapping for this Logic.
In the Source there are 4 fields and, the Target side, the fields should appear like this.
Source Structure- File
Record
|-> Header
Order_No
Date
|-> Item
Mat_No
Quantity
Target Structure-IDoc
IDoc
|-> Header
|-> Segment
Delivery_Order_No
Recv_Date
|-> Item
|-> Segment
Delivery_Order_No
Material_Num
Recv_Quantity.
The Logic is for every Order number an IDOC is generated.And if the Material num matches then the quantity should be added. and important note is that the material numbers are different for every order number. That means if a material number is 2 in the order number A. Then the material number can never be 2 in any of the order numbers.Here is the following with an example for the above scenario.
For example:-
we have
Source Structure- File
Order-no Date Mat_No Quantity
1 01/02/2011 A 10
1 01/02/2011 B 15
1 01/02/2011 A 10
2 01/02/2011 C 10
2 01/02/2011 C 10
3 01/02/2011 D 20
3 01/02/2011 D 10
3 01/02/2011 E 25
Target Structure-IDoc
Delivery_Order_No Recv_Date Material_Num Recv_Quantity
1 01/02/2011 A 20
1 01/02/2011 B 15
2 01/02/2011 C 20
3 01/02/2011 D 30
3 01/02/2011 E 25
So for this example total of 5-Idocs created. That means for this example if Order_No is 1 When the Mat_No is A the quantity gets added. For this Scenario 1 IDoc with four Fields 2 in Header(Delivery_Order_No, Recv_Date) and 2 in Item(Material_Num, Recv_Quantity) is generated by adding the quantity field in the Target Side. Similarly if Order_No is 1 when the Mat_No is B then separate IDoc is generated with four Fields 2 in Header(Delivery_Order_No, Recv_Date) and 2 in Item(Material_Num, Recv_Quantity) in the Target Side. Similarly, if Order_No is 2 when the Mat_No is C, an IDoc is generated with four Fields 2 in Header(Delivery_Order_No, Recv_Date) and 2 in Item(Material_Num, Recv_Quantity) by adding the quantity field in the Target Side. ike wise the process goes on upto 3.Kindly do the needy..
Kindly provide the java code.
Thanq very much in advance..

what i have understood from ur example is that u want to generate an idoc for unique combination of Order-no and Mat_No
if yes then chk the below mapping..
change the context of Order_No, Date, Mat_No and Quantity to Record (right click-> context)
1)
Order-no
----------------------concat[;]---sort----splitbyvalue(valuechanged)-----collapse context---IDoc

To get latest release for particular platform

Hi,
I have one table which contains, columns such that one column contains platform name and released versions.
like linux -> 11.1.0.6.0 , linux -> 10.2.0.5.0 , etc. Here issue is :- versions can be 11.2 or 9.2.0.1.50
Please, can you help me with any sql procedure who can get versions and format to proper format
and get latest version for that platform.
1. 11.1.0.6.0 --> convert to 2 digits --> 11.01.06.00
2. 11.2 --> complete proper version like --> 11.2.0.0.0 (by appending zeros) --> 11.02.00.00.00
3. 9.2.0.1.50 --> convert to 2 digits -> 09.02.00.01.50
Now final output we can trim "." and compare numerically.. like 11010600 with 1102000000 with 0902000150
Here 2nd no is greatest , hence we can return that for current selected platfrom.
Or any other simple implementation ?
Thanks,
DVS !

Try this sql query.
with test
as
select '11.1.0.6.0' col1 from dual union all
      select '11.2'from dual union all
      select '9.2.0.1.50' from dual
select col1,version, replace(version,'.')

GWT meets Flex: Java API for Flex

Hello people,
I m somedays away to release the version 2.1 of gwt4air. gwt4air is an open source project based on gwt (http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/) and provides a Java API to different platform where Java is not the primary language.
Version 2.0 added among other features support for Adobe AIR, Alive PDF, Pure PDF, Aswing and other GWT based UI libraries like EXT-GWT
With version 2.1 i added support for Flex(AIR and Browser). The goal of this approach is to make it easy for Java Developers to switch to Flex be leveraging a swing like API. But also to present an alternative to the classical Flex developement. The overall idea behind this is described here:
http://code.google.com/p/gwt4air/wiki/Beginn
A demo application ca be found here: http://gwt4air.appspot.com/
The application contains around 100 demos with source code illustrating the use of the api.
I ve tried to keep the API similar to the AS3 api so one could easely switch from AS3 to Java and vice versa
Note that this flex applicaton is entirely written in Java using gwt4air. No AS3 no MXML.
The application is still in alpha stage so please expect some errors.
The project home is located at:
http://code.google.com/p/gwt4air/
I m looking forward to hear what you think about this idea. Any inputs (good or bad) is really welcome
Help me make this an even better tool.
It s about time that Flex rocks the GWT world
cheers,
Alain

It looks like those genius @google are also thinking about a Java(GWT) API for Flash .
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_sbusEUz5w&t=1718
Glad to see that i m not a fool
Or alteast not the only fool that believe combining Java and Flash/Flex is a potent mix.

Java API for Adobe Flex(AIR and Browser)

Hello Community,
Sometime ago i started the project located at: : http://code.google.com/p/gwt4air/ , wich primary goal was to bring another approach on writing AIR application by providing a Java API for the AIR API. On top of that i added support for PDF and Excel generation using Java.
I m glad to announce that the project will now add support for the Flex Framework
I wrote a post about it on the main page.
The Idea behind it is to give Java Developers a more simple way to write Flex Application by leaveraing a swing like API.
I hope this project will be a good alternative to the MXML+ ActionScript approach and looking for people willing to join the project.
Regards,
Alain

Good question, I'd like to know this myself. 4.5 has a huge number of changes since 4.0.

JAVA library for authen. RADIUS or Novell NDS?

Probably certainly to me not here...
The question consists in the following:
What libraries (if are available) for JAVA for authentication through RADIUS and/or Novell NDS are available?
Please at presence of such libraries to write to me on E-mail: [email protected]
Thank for attention.
K$V

Does that mean that you are not going to come back here and check any answers and expect someone to email you the answer. I doubt that happening.
I think there is a product called Radiator for Radius and Novell provides a Java toolkit for its directory servers. You might be able to use these.
Anyways, I did not have a right answer.
Sorry, could not help being arrogant.

Hello,
Just a quick question: can we have an official position from Sun regarding support of earlier releases of Solaris with Java RTS 2.1? Our customer is currently running Solaris 10 Update 3 with current Recommended patches, and the 2.1 beta cyclic driver supported this version of Solaris. However with the official release version of 2.1, support for U3 disappeared (only U4 and U5 are now supported). Aside from "rubber stamping" the Solaris build via /etc/release, is there a technical reason why U3 is no longer supported? As long as our kernel is up to date, can we safely use 2.1? Or is it just a case of being unable to officially support and test so many releases of Solaris?
Is this a general rule-of-thumb we can expect in future: only supporting the last 2 updates of Solaris 10?
Your advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave.

Could anyone provide sample of WebDynpro Java TableFilter for Dynamic Table

Hi
I have a dynamic table I have given a context node as a data source and it executes a Web Service and populates itself based on the resultset of query this node contains no of columns and rows
The table changes dynamically everytime the user selects different table type
When I created a TableFilter I used IWDTableColumn from the current view and looped though the context elements and binded the values of attributes of each context element to this column inside a loop. TableSort works, But I am not able to get the Filter working for the Dynamic Table , when I click on Filter Button the Filter does not filterand just sorts.
Not sure what is wrong but if someone can give some inputs,leads I will highly appreciate if some one has a sample of WebDynpro Java TableFilter for Dynamic Table
Thanks in advance,
Ragu.

Hi Ragu,
Please check the link for table filtering.
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/WDJava/GenericTableFilter+Code
since your dynamic table uses webservice I assume it has fixed context attributes, just put the filter into wdDoModify method everytime you execute/trigger the webservice.

GeoRaptor 3.2.1 Released for SQL Developer 3.x

Spatialites!
After 6 months of development and testing, GeoRaptor 3.2.1 has been released for SQL Developer 3.x (tested on 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2). This release no longer supports SQL Developer 1.x or 2.x releases due to internal changes to the SQL Developer APIs.
GeoRaptor can be downloaded from the GeoRaptor project's sourceforge page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/georaptor and installed via Help>Check for Updates>Install from Local File. Installation via SQL Developer's update mechanism should be available soon.
The release notes for this release are:
* Fixed issues with validate geometry functionality in particular the update dialog box.
* Revamped "About GeoRaptor" form. Includes clickable URLs, links to mailing lists, version number listing, thanks to testers etc.
* Placed "About GeoRaptor" icon on GeoRaptor's map toolbar.
* SQL Developer NLS settings accessed: improvements in the display and entry and numeric data.
-- Tolerances in Spatial Layer properties will display with the NLS decimal separator eg 0,05.
     Some parts of GeoRaptor such as Validation that show and accept numbers have not been changed from when someone else modified the code.
     If you double click on the left MBR/right MBR icon in the map at the bottom, the current centre position will display according to the NLS settings.
     Editing the value to jump the map to that point works even with grouping separators and decimal separators being commas!
* Spatial Layer Draw has been modified to use NLS based decimal formatting.
* New geometry marking/labelling options have been added. In particular you can now label the vertices of a linestring/polygon with the following additional elements:
-- Cumulative length
-- Measure (M)
-- Z value
-- Labelling of vertices with <id>{X,Y} now also honours 3/4D geometries. If geometry has XYY then it will be labelled as {X,Y,Z} etc.
* You can also label each vector/segment of a linestring/polygon with:
-- Length
-- Cumulative Length
-- Bearing (approximate for geodetic/geographic data)
-- Distance (approximate for geodetic/geographic data)
-- Bearing and Distance (approximate for geodetic/geographic data)
* The font properties of the mark text can be changed independently of the feature label. This includes the offset and label position (CC, LL, UR etc).
* New feature labelling options have been provided:
-- First/middle/last vertex,
-- Any supplied sdo_point within a line/polygon's sdo_geometry object, or
-- Calculated by GeoRaptor on the client side using Java Topology Suite.
* Result sets now have the ability to:
-- Copy to clipboard all geometries across many rows and columns.
-- Display one or more (selected) geometries in a popup image window. This functionality is also available in the result set generated by an Identify command.
* New GeoRaptor Preferences:
-- Width and height in pixels of the new popup image window (displaying one or more geometry objects) can be set;
-- Colours of orphan, missing and correct metadata entries for Metadata Manager;
-- Prefixing with MDSYS for all currently supported spatial objects - sdo_geometry, sdo_point, sdo_elem_info, sdo_ordinates, sdo_dim_info - has been made an option.
-- There is now a new property called "Show Number Grouping Separator" in Tools>GeoRaptor>Visualisation.
     If it is ticked a number will be formatted with the thousands separator in Tools>Database>NLS eg 10000.000 will display as 10,000.000.
* Sdo_Geometry display of all spaces in text between elements of the sdo_geometry array have been removed.
   This was done mainly to compact the sdo_geometry strings so that they are as small as possible when displaying or copying to clipboard.
* Help pages added to the following dialogs with more to follow:
-- Metadata Manager,
-- Shapefile Importer and
-- Layer Properties dialogs.
* GeoRaptor menu entries renamed. New "Manage All Metadata" entry added to View>GeoRaptor menu.
* Spatial Index creation dialog now supports additional index parameters and parallel build settings.
* Metadata Manager overhauled:
a. Shows:
     1. Metadata entries which have no underlying oracle object (orphan)
     2. Metadata entries for existing underlying objects (existing case)
     3. Database objects with sdo_geometry for which no metadata entry exists (new)
b. All orphan/existing/missing colours for (a) can be set via Preferences>GeoRaptor>Visualisation
c. All actions for main (bottom) metadata table are in a single right mouse click menu.
     Some entries will only appear if a single row is selection (metadata copy), others (delete and copy to clipboard) will appear for one or more.
d. Can now switch between open connections to modify metadata of other objects in schemas other than the starting object.
e. Buttons revamped.
* Tab/Shapefile export:
a. Export now supports NULL valued columns. Can be exported as an empty string (if DBase override in GeoRaptor Preferences is ticked) or
     as a predefined value eg NULL date => 1900-01-01 (set in new GeoRatptor Import/Export Preferences).
b. Some work attempted on export of NLS strings (still not corrected).
c. Objects with no rows now correctly processed.
* Shapefile Import
-- Bug relating to Linux file names corrected.
* Fixed issue (identified by John O'Toole) with spatial index underlying a view not being used in map display.
* Reinstated sdo_nn as the principal method for Identify (requested by John O'Toole).
* Fixed problem with handling single click zoom in and out in GeoRaptor map etc.
* Fixed problem with rendering lines from database item (identified by Vladimir Pek).The new "About GeoRaptor" should be read by all people installing GeoRaptor.
Please, please consider registering your email address with our private email list so that we can get a feel for the sorts of people downloading and installing GeoRaptor.
Please consider helping us with documentation or the internationalisation via translating properties files from English to your native language.
GeoRaptor is written and maintained by people who use SQL Developer and Spatial every day but we don't pretend we know everything that users want: please let us know via our feature request page at SourceForge.
We don't get paid for what we do so are always looking for additional help.
Here are some of the requests we have had for improvements:
1. MySQL access
2. WMS access;
3. Ability to import shapefile data into an existing table;
4. Ability to processing multiple shapefiles into separate tables (current version can import one or more into a single target table);
5. Ability to export/import layer definitions to give to others;
6. Support for non-English character sets for varchar exports to shapefiles.Some are relatively simply, some require a lot of engineering work. For the latter, we are considering alternative funding methods to the currently completely free development approach.
Thanks to the following for their invaluable assistance:
Holger Labe, Germany
John O'Toole, Ireland
Vladimir Pek, Czech Republic
Pieter Minnaar, Holland
Olaf Iseeger, Germany
Sandro Costa, Brazil;

Simon,
I will admit, I almost never use SQL Developer. I have been a long time Toad user, but for this tool, I fumbled around a bit and got everything up and running quickly.
That said, I tried the new GeoRaptor tool using this tutorial (which is I think is close enough to get the jist). http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/georaptor/index.php?title=A_Gentle_Introduction:_Create_Table,_Metadata_Registration,_Indexing_and_Mapping
As I stumble around it, I'll try and leave some feedback, and probably ask some rather stupid questions.
Thanks for the effort,

Problems using NSS library as PKCS#11 provider with JAVA 6

Hi,
I�m trying to configure JAVA 6 on Solaris 10 SPARC to use Mozilla NSS library as PKCS#11 provider (to achieve FIPS-140 certification for my application). I�m following the guidelines from http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/security/p11guide.html#NSS but unfortunately something doesn�t work for me as expected...
Let me describe the exact steps that I followed (because devil may be in the small details :-)
I downloaded NSS 3.11.4 and NSPR 4.6.4 binaries from mozilla.org (32 bit �debug� versions for Solaris 9, because these were the only �binary� versions for SPARC available on Mozilla site and as far as I understand these are the exact versions that passed FIPS-140 certification), unpacked them under the /opt directory and copied both of them into a single /opt/nss tree as follows:
mkdir /opt/nss
cp �r /opt/nss-3.11.4/* /opt/nss
cp �r /opt/nspr-4.6.4/* /opt/nss
I created a PKCS#11 configuration file /opt/nss/pkcs11.cfg as per JAVA 6 security guide:
name = NSScrypto
nssLibraryDirectory = /opt/nss/lib
nssDbMode = noDb
attributes = compatibility
(I know that this configuration is not for FIPS mode � but I thought that I�d better start with a simple NSS configuration)
Then I modified /usr/jdk/jdk1.6.0_03/jre/lib/security/java.security file and replaced 1st provider with:
security.provider.1=sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11 /opt/nss/pkcs11.cfg
Now everything should be in place � so I created a small JAVA program and ran it:
import javax.crypto.SecretKeyFactory;
import javax.crypto.spec.DESedeKeySpec;
import javax.crypto.SecretKey;
import javax.crypto.Cipher;
import java.security.*;
public class Test
public static void main(String[] args)
try
SecretKeyFactory keyFactory = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("DESede");
DESedeKeySpec keySpec = null;
keySpec = new DESedeKeySpec(new String("laKuf1Tcc6sOhsdPf49=m4es").getBytes());
System.out.println("keyFactory provider: " + keyFactory.getProvider().getName());
SecretKey key = keyFactory.generateSecret(keySpec);
Cipher decryptCipher = Cipher.getInstance("DESede");
decryptCipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, key);
System.out.println("decryptCipher provider: " + decryptCipher.getProvider().getName());
catch (Exception ex)
ex.printStackTrace();
Unfortunately it produced the following output:
EMS-Server42# java test
keyFactory provider: SunPKCS11-NSScrypto
decryptCipher provider: SunJCE
And when I comment out SunJCE provider in java.security file I get the following exception:
java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: Cannot find any provider supporting DESede
at javax.crypto.Cipher.getInstance(DashoA13*..)
at test.main(test.java:38)
So it looks like something is wrong with my NSS configuration. Because AFAIK DESede (3DES) is supported by the NSS library, but for some reason JAVA doesn�t see this algorithm implemented in NSS PKCS#11 provider.
Any suggestions on what am I doing wrong?
Best regards,
Alex

Works for me:
import java.security.Provider;
import java.security.SecureRandom;
import java.security.Security;
import javax.crypto.Cipher;
import javax.crypto.SecretKey;
import javax.crypto.SecretKeyFactory;
import javax.crypto.spec.DESedeKeySpec;
import javax.crypto.spec.IvParameterSpec;
public class Test
public static void main(String[] args)
    try
      String configFileName = "/nss/nss.cfg";
      Provider nss = new sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11(configFileName);
      Security.addProvider(nss);
      SecretKeyFactory keyFactory = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("DESede", nss);
      DESedeKeySpec keySpec = new DESedeKeySpec(new String("laKuf1Tcc6sOhsdPf49=m4es").getBytes("UTF-8"));
      System.out.println("keyFactory provider: " + keyFactory.getProvider().getName());
      SecretKey key = keyFactory.generateSecret(keySpec);
      //iv for CBC mode - note, in practice you don't generate a random iv for decryption :)
      byte[] iv = new byte[8]; //64-bit block size for 3DES
      SecureRandom sr = SecureRandom.getInstance("PKCS11", nss);
      sr.nextBytes(iv);
      IvParameterSpec params = new IvParameterSpec(iv);
      Cipher decryptCipher = Cipher.getInstance("DESede/CBC/NoPadding", nss);
      decryptCipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, key, params);
      System.out.println("decryptCipher provider: " + decryptCipher.getProvider().getName());
    catch (Exception ex)
      ex.printStackTrace();
}Oh, I wouldn't expect your key loading to work when you switch over to FIPS mode.
cfg file:
name = NSScrypto
nssLibraryDirectory = /nss
nssSecmodDirectory = /nss
nssModule = fipsYields the following error:
java.security.spec.InvalidKeySpecException: java.security.InvalidKeyException: Could not create key
because you can't directly handle keying material in FIPS. You'll have to save the secret key in the NSS certDB or generate a random one each time and send it wrapped to the other side.

ANN: New XDK release for 9.0.2B and 9.0.1.1.0A available

New XDK Releases for 9.0.2B Beta Version and 9.0.1.1.0A Procudtion Version are online at:
http://technet.oracle.com/tech/xml/xdkhome.html
What's new:
- Oracle9i XDK for C and C++ released on Linux
- Oracle TransX Utility Aids loading data and text.These release is part of the XDK for Java 9.0.2 Beta.
- Oracle SOAP APIs added to the XDK for Java
Support for the SOAP services have been added to the XDK for Java 9.0.1.1.0A Production.
- XML Schema Processor for Java supports both LAX Mode and STRICT Mode Validation
The XML Schema Processor for Java now supports both LAX Mode and STRICT
Mode Validation. Compared with STRICT Mode where every element from the root on down is required to be defined and validated, LAX Mode Schema validation provides developers the ability to limit the XML Schema
validation to the subsections of the XML document.
This will simplify XML Schema definitions and the validation process by skipping the ignorable content. Furthermore, with LAX mode, developers can divide their XML documents into small fragments and carry out the XML Schema validation in a parallel or progressive way. This results, in a much more flexible and productive schema validation process.
- SAX2 Extension support in the Java XML Parser
The XML Parser for Java now supports two new handlers - LexicalHandler and DeclHandler.
XML documents now can be parsed through Oracle XML Parser SAX APIs with full access

- JAXP 1.1 supports is now added to the XDK for Java
- New Differ Bean in the XDK for JavaBeans
A new bean has been added the the JavaBean XDK which analyses the differences between to XML documents and outputs the XSL sytlesheet that will convert one into the
other. This is extremely useful when converting an XML document retrieved from a SQL query into an xHTML page on the web.
Stylesheets can now be automaticly created for use in XSQL pages.
- XML Compression now supported in the Java XML Parser
Now developers can take advantage of a compressed XML stream when serializing their DOM and SAX outputs. This new functionality significantly reduces the size without losing any information. Both DOM and SAX compressed streams are fully compatible and the SAX stream can be used to generate a
corresponding DOM tree. These compressed streams can also be stored in Oracle as a CLOB for efficient storage and retrieval.

When will SAP Java AS for EE 6 see the light?

Hi all,
As far as I know, SAP's bleeding edge AS (NW73 AS) is based on EE5.
As several java AS vendors are releasing EE6 compliant products, I would like to know whether any deadline has been set for SAP's EE6 app server release.
Thanks in advance
regards
Vincenzo

Hi Rolf,
there has been a lot of discussion around the question whether the on premise NetWeaver
Application Server for Java will support the Java EE 6 standard! I have joined this discussion just
recently meaning I have not studied all the discussion threads. Some citations go back several years, others are new.
With respect to roadmap statements SAP has clearly formulated rules of communication and established clear templates that indicate the current feature set (“Solution Today”), the “planned innovations” for the next 12 months roughly (for on premise deliveries) and the future direction. The section on “planned innovations” is the one which is closely related to the current backlog of the development teams in terms of feature delivery. No commitment is given as to whether the planned innovations will be delivered but under normal circumstances there is a good probability to have them in the next foreseeable enhancement packages or quarterly updates. The future direction is typically more a strategic level which is touched by our senior
management team and often communicated at TechEd keynotes for example.
Java EE 6 is not contained in the planned innovations for the on premise NetWeaver Application
Server Java. Customers get the roadmap information from SAP service marketplace and from roadmap Q&A sessions at TechEd.
We never communicated anything different. In multiple sessions and written content we
clearly communicated that innovation in on premise environments focuses on the ABAP stack while HANA Cloud Platform offers other languages including Java with support for
open standards adoption. We know that many of our customers are running AS Java based Portals, Process Integration hubs, BPM etc and we will fulfill our support commitments providing a solid foundation to run our Java based solutions. This causes a lot of significant investments
for our development support organization. For example we enabled the SAP Java VM for JDK1.4 since some customers still run Portals based on that standard. Likewise we currently look into several topics such as NetWeaver Developer Studio and newer JDKs.
But the JEE program model is not in scope here. The adoption of JEE as program model for
SAP applications, customer and partner extensions was always pretty limited (exceptions confirm the rule). We heavily pushed Web Dynpro Java, NWDI for several years etc (my team wrote a complete SAP Press book about it) but the market moved to other frameworks in the meantime. Again we fully maintain these frameworks and infrastructures including improvements to make our customers’ life easier (for example the development support is currently piloting an NWDI compliant infrastructure to supply notes, similar to SNOTE in ABAP).
Last but not least our senior management team clearly indicated the importance of cloud
based infrastructures for standards and open source adoption.
Since NetWeaver 7.3 embracing the Java EE5 was announced back in 2010 the shift towards HANA, cloud and mobile has been a recurring top level theme at all major SAP events and publications (trust me I attended all US and EMEA TechEds).
Best regards
Karl

What Java compiler for Java Card development ?

What Java compiler and options should be used for Java Card development with the goal of generating correct, and (secondarily) small or/and fast code after conversion to Java Card bytecode using converter ?
In particular
- Is use of JDK 7 approved by Oracle for Java Card development? That would solve security problems associated with (the web components of the JRE of) some earlier JDK, including the latest JDK6. The JCDK 3.0.4 release notes states "+the commercial version of Java Development Kit (JDK software) version 6 Update 10 (JDK 6 Update 10) or later is required+, but that does not answer that question.
- Anyone had _bad_ experience (like incorrect or disastrous code) with the Java compiler bundled with Eclipse ? I have seen at least one case where org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.7.3.v20120119-1537.jar produced slightly more compact code than javac.
- Anyone had _bad_ experience with javac in jdk1.3 ? In an applet involving a "finally" clause, I've seen it generating more compact code than later javac (which in my test triplicated the code for the finally clause).

What Java compiler and options should be used for Java Card development with the goal of generating correct, and (secondarily) small or/and fast code after conversion to Java Card bytecode using converter ?-target -source may be required to generate compatible byte code. Depending on the CAP file converter being used debug information may also help. Remember that Java Card is a subset of the Java language (also there are short opcodes that Java doesn't have etc) so a lot of the work for optimisation is done by the converter or the JCRE. You can look at the JCA code generated to determine what works best for your applets. There are also some ways of stripping out dead code etc from JCA files (return statements after a throw etc) to reduce your code size. Most of the speed optimisations come from your code (avoiding context switches and unnecessary security/access checks).
The compactness of your Java Card binary may not be directly related to the size of your compiled Java code. It can depend on the converter you use and any optimisaitons the JCRE might try to do when the code is loaded.
- Is use of JDK 7 approved by Oracle for Java Card development? That would solve security problems associated with (the web components of the JRE of) some earlier JDK, including the latest JDK6. Java Card does not use any of the libraries from the JDK/JRE. All of the libraries are provided by the JCRE on the smartcard.
The JCDK 3.0.4 release notes states "+the commercial version of Java Development Kit (JDK software) version 6 Update 10 (JDK 6 Update 10) or later is required+, but that does not answer that question.Anything above JDK6u10 is supported. If you use Java 7 you may need to add a -source and -target flag when compiling.
- Anyone had _bad_ experience (like incorrect or disastrous code) with the Java compiler bundled with Eclipse ? I have seen at least one case where org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.7.3.v20120119-1537.jar produced slightly more compact code than javac.We generally use the Eclipse compiler as we find that we get more deterministic builds. When CAP files are sent for security review it is helpful to have the reviewer able to generate a CAP file that matches the one you sent to confirm the binary is what you say it is.
- Anyone had _bad_ experience with javac in jdk1.3 ? In an applet involving a "finally" clause, I've seen it generating more compact code than later javac (which in my test triplicated the code for the finally clause).We do not use anything less than Java 6 for compilation.

Fedora 13: After upgrading from FF3.6 to FF6.0.2 I no longer have a Java plugin. How do I configure the Java Plugin for FF 6 ? There is no Java Plugin at the site

I am Fedora 13x64 bit. I just installed FF v6.0.2 from the FF download site. I backed up the existing FF 3.6 as firefox_old
I need to have a Java plugin to access company site, how do I configure the Java Plugin ?
At the Plugin area in FF6 there is no Java Plugin available, even after a search.
I have Java 1.6.0 installed in the OS at:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
I googled how to configure Java Plugin for FF 6 for Fedora 13 and the trick was to create a soft link from /home/<userID>/.mozilla/plugins to the above libnpjp2.so

This document (part IV and Appendix) has some debugging and troubleshooting information that may allow someone involved in the problem to resolve the cause:

Any steps that you can take to isolate the problem to specific Java versions, browsers, applets, web sites, operating systems (and versions), etc, would enhance the possibility of getting help.
You can try the applets at this Sun location and see if any of them are "slow".

API or interface table to create releases for a blanket purchase agreement

Hi
I need to know if Oracle provides a standard API or interface table to create releases for a blanket purchase agreement.
I tried using the release_num field in PO_HEADERS_INTERFACE, PO_LINES_INTERFACE. But this is not working.
I'm able to create the blanket purchase agreement using the open interfaces, but not the releases.
Regards,
Alister

Hi Alister,
You can't create a release of a BPA through API, there is no such APIs provided by oracle.
Where as you can create a BPA by using API. You need to dump/poplulate data in PO_headers_interface & PO_Lines_intreface table.. Then use Purchasing Documents Open Interface API to create a BPA.

S.P DASH
