INTERESTING - ACE config and URL manipulation

Hi
My customer has an interesting requirement for his web/java based application (SAP).
There are multiple services (each has its own domain) running on the same server all services sharing the same TCP port. All of them require a correct path in the HTTP(S) header to display a desired web page. However if somebody is accessing (via HTTP or HTTPS) the service without any path in the URL (for a login page) the ACE should redirect a correct URL and path for the login page to the client. In other words...
1) http://sap.mydomain.com ---redirect to---> https://sap.mydomain.com/abc/init.do?language=de
2) https://sap.mydomain.com ---redirect to---> https://sap.mydomain.com/abc/init.do?language=de
3) http://sap.mydomain.com/abc/init.do?language=de ---redirect to---> https://sap.mydomain.com/abc/init.do?language=de
4) https://sap.mydomain.com/abc/AnythingElse ---NOT to be redeirected but sent unchanged---> https://sap.mydomain.com/abc/AnythingElse
Do you have any ideas how can I achieve this?
I tried something but it still doesn't work. Relevant config is attached.
Thanks in advance for your replies and happy to reward you 5* when we get it up and running

Dsliz,
One of them may look like this:
policy-map multi-match SAP-HTTP-REDIRECT-POLICY-MAP
class SAP-REDIRECT-CM
    loadbalance vip inservice
    loadbalance policy SAP-REDIRECT-POLICY
    loadbalance vip icmp-reply
class-map match-any SAP-REDIRECT-CM
3 match virtual-address 10.148.185.249 tcp eq ww
policy-map type loadbalance first-match SAP-REDIRECT-POLICY
class class-default
    serverfarm SAP-HTTP-REDIRECT
serverfarm redirect SAP-HTTP-REDIRECT
rserver SAP-HTTP-REDIRECTOR
    inservice
rserver redirect SAP-HTTP-REDIRECTOR
conn-limit max 4000000 min 4000000
webhost-redirection https://sap.mydomain.com/abc/init.do?language=de 301
inservice
You did not include the rest of the configuration for example for this:
class L7CM-B2C-DEMOSHOP
Additionally, you may need to see about matching seconday cookies as shown here, since it is required to match after "?" sometimes.

Request - Perl script that can parse an ACE config from a VIP

Has anyone ever written a Perl script that can take the VIP from an ACE config and parse it out into the component parts of the config, ACLs, NATs, Class-map, policy-map, etc. ?
This seems like something someone must have written already.
Thanks in advance!

Any reason you dont want to use XML instead of doing just PERL ? Its lot easier to do with XML scripts as ACE has a XML interface to query whatever is needed. So that said, you can use a perl to interface ACE via XML. Here's a simple Perl that uses LibCurl:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use WWW::Curl::Easy;
my $numArgs = $#ARGV + 1;
if ($numArgs<4)
die("Usage: shusers.pl ip_address username password command\n");
my $ip = @ARGV[0];
my $uname = @ARGV[1];
my $pwd = @ARGV[2];
my $cmd = @ARGV[3];
my $curl = new WWW::Curl::Easy;
my $posturl = "http://$ip/bin/xml_agent/";
my $xml_cmd = "xml_cmd=<$cmd/>";
$curl->setopt(CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
$curl->setopt(CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT, 1);
$curl->setopt(CURLOPT_URL, $posturl);
$curl->setopt(CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
$curl->setopt(CURLOPT_USERPWD,"$uname:$pwd");
$curl->setopt(CURLOPT_POST,1);
$curl->setopt(CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $xml_cmd);
$curl->perform;
my $info = $curl->getinfo(CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE);
print $info;
Hope this helps.
Cheers

ACE Switchover and Config Sync

Hi
I'm new to the ACE modul and trying to set up some szenarios and i run already into some troubles.
Question 1)
I configured redundancy to another module - virtulised mode. Config sync between the context worked fine. If i change s'thing in the activ context it was copied to the standby context. But if i changed something in the active Admin context it was not copied to the standby Admin context.
Question 2)
FT Switchover in the Admin context is not possible returns the following fault:
ACE_Switch08/Admin# ft switchover
This command will cause card to switchover (yes/no)? [no] yes
Invalid FT group. FT switchover command will be ignored.
ACE_Switch08/Admin#
If I switch a single FT group it works. But how is it possible to switch all FT groups a the same time? Do i have to switch each context by itself?
Question 3)
After i have switched the active context to the standby context, the ft group x command shows both peers as active. After i take the standby ft group no inservice and back inservice it shows correctly Active and standby_HOT.
The configuration:
hostname ACE_Switch08

pat

Hi Pat,
1)
for my config i just put the "user" or "backend" contexts into ft groups. I don't sync the admin contexts on both aces. I am not even sure if that makes sense or is "best practicse".
So if you don't put the admin context into an extra ft group it won't be synced. you have to configure the admin contexts on each physical ace separately.
Putting the contexts sf0-2200 & sf0-2220 into an ft group and not having an ft group for admin is the way to go IMHO.
2)
If you do a switchover you always have to specify which context you want to switchover. I don't think that you can actually switchover a whole bunch of contexts with this command. If you want to do that a reload is the only way AFAIK.
Try:
ft switchover 1
ft switchover 2
3)
This could be because you have not configured the other ACE's admin context to participate in the ft properly.
My configs looke like this.

TRM: doubts in interest rate instrument and Business partner

Dear all,
While implementing Treasury Risk Management, in order to fulfill my clientsu2019 needs I have three questions regarding, 1. Interest rate instruments, 2.Leasings and 3.Business partners.
1.When creating a contract of an interest rate instrument , associated to a floating interest rate (e.g. EURIBOR 3M), how can I calculate the tax stamp which represents 4% of my interest rate amount, and occurs every time I have to pay interests?
I could define it in the u201Cother flowsu201D label but since the contract is associated to a variable, I never know how much my 4% of tax stamp calculated over the interest amount will represent.
2.When creating leasing contracts, how can I calculate the VAT associated to the periodic payments?
3.Is there any way to make postings to a business partner directly as a Vendor or a costumer?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Daniel

Hi,
Please consider following:
1. Generally TDS flows are generated automatically by system based on a revenue/expense flow. By configuring Derived FLows in system you can achieve this. Then alongwith every interest payment flow a TDS flow also will be generated based on the rate defined in system with seperate flow type, you can define account posting in spro.
The path for config- TRM-Trans Mgr- Money Market-Transaction Mgt- Flow Types- Derived FLows
2. Again since VAT is a derived flow for an actual cash flow, so you can achive this through derived flows config.
3. You can make posting to Business Partner account by performing following:
a. In master data, assign role of Customer to the Business Partner
b. Make payment settings in transaction to Customer and select payee/counterparty. While posting with TBB1, entries will be against Customer A/c and further clearing will be reqd at customer level against respective payment bank.
c. To achieve this output, you may require to define account determination accordingly for customers.
I suggest to post seperate thread for each issue rather than posting with single thread for better response.

Wrt1900ac stuck during config and reset to default

Hi guys, just bough tthe wrt1900ac router.
i am pretty savvy with routers etc, i found this ANNOYING bug and wanted to see if i am the only one...
While configuring the router to my needs (new hostname, ip, mac address filter etc etc) sometimes ESPECIALLY when trying to add a DHCP reservation the router simply (get stuck) and the only way to bring it back to life is power it off and on again...
but each time i do so it resets itself to the default values (system restore) even tho i never pushed the reset button i only power cycled it...
i started doing a config backup after each setting i do and each time it crashes i go back to the original 192.168.1.1 address and restore my config to bring it back to the address i chose (10.2.9.254).
anyone else had this issue? i am on the latest firmware, just got the router today....
this is a VERY BAD bug....

PC 3rd Party Security Software Configurations
Turn off all anti virus and firewall programs on PC while testing. 3rd party firewalls are not generally needed when using routers as they are effective on blocking malicious inbound traffic.
Turn off all devices accept for one wired LAN PC while testing.
PC Web Browser Configurations
What browser are you using?
Try Opera or FF? If IE 8, 9, 10 or 11, set compatibility mode and test again.
Disable any security browser Add-ons like No Script and Ad-Block or configure them to allow All Pages when connected to the router.
Clear all browser caches.
Be sure to log into the Admin account on the router.
Try turning off these features in Chrome:
Top right corner, little bars for options > Settings > Settings (on left) > Show advanced settings.
Uncheck these:
Use a web service to help resolve navigation errors
Use a prediction service to help complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar
Predict network actions to improve page load performance
Enable phishing and malware protection
I recommend trying this:
To safely update FW,
1. Save router config to file first using IE or FF with all security add-ons disabled.
2. Factory reset the router with all other devices disconnected or turned OFF accept for 1 wired PC.
3. Update the FW using IE or FF.
4. Factory reset the router and then set up from scratch first and test with out loading the saved config from file. Check to see if any problems are fixed before loading the saved config from file. You can configure the router with out being connected to the ISP modem initially.

Can ACE rewrite the URL sent back to the browser?

Hi,
I want to know that if there is a link on a webpage, for example: www.test.com/folder1/folder2/index.html
Would be it be possible to rewrite this so that when the webserver provides you with that page, that the ACE rewrites the given URL so that the browser only says in the URL bar: www.test.com
Or is this impossible and would the webserver itself need to do this rewrite?
Thanks!

Hi Robin,
As per my understanding, when you click on that link the URL would say www.test.com/folder1/folder2/index.html in URL bar. ACE can rewrite URL and forward to server or can modify server response but i am not sure if there's anyway you can get the URL change in the bar after you click on hyperlink and webpage loads. May be you can have redirection but not rewrite here.

Kanwal

Distinguishing between Form and URL variables

My mind isn't working like it should today, but what I am trying to do is:
1) alter a page via passing a argument in the URL
2) store this in a hidden field within the form on the page
3) retrieve the hidden field when the page is refreshed or in this case manipulated again for printing.
Basically, I have a report screen that allows the user to toggle between paging 1 page at a time or show all pages. If they click for all pages I pass a variable (allPages), and store it in a hidden field (allPages). Now if the user presses the "Print" button I reload the page stripping out form elements and put in Page breaks so that the report prints fairly nicely. Whats not working is my ability to differentiate between the parameter passed in the URL and the parameter contained within the form.
I am currently able top get the URL passed parameter via:
request.getParameter("allPages")
Is there a way to check for the form element, if it exist then use it else check for the URL passed parameter, or default it.
Thanks in advance.

I wonder, why you didn't use two different name for the parameter via URL and via Form, so your program should can easily distinguish where come from where, am I right?
The other way, you may check the method, whether it is "post" or "get", the get method is what you said as via URL and post normally use by form. But I think, it is better use two different parameter for Form and URL.

Fresh ACE config...

Hi All,
Im going for ACE config in few days time, have been reading the documents for last 2 weeks, would appreciate some heads-up to my queries:
1. On the ACE module we have this hidden ports NP1, NP2, ...etc , do we need to configure that or is it used for special cases.
2. In terms of HTTP load balancing to caching-servers, which predictor complies with best practice format, VIP, L4 (src or dst port nos ), L7 ??
3. Have also been trying to get some sample configs and some online hands-on if possible, any pointers, most welcome ?
Thanx in advance .... Gentlemen :-)
Thanx
Shukla.

1. NP1/NP2 are the CPUs. The ports on the module are consoles for debugging. These ports should remain covered. I believe they are disabled.
2. You will want to use predictor hash source mask x.x.x.x. This will ensure that each client always balances to the same cache engine. This will better utilize your disk cache and increase your chances of cache hits.
In terms of L4 or L7, I would always try to keep the load balancing rules at layer4 if possible. This will maximize the performance of any load balancer since the LB decision can be made on the TCP syn packet.
3. Take a look at example A of this FWLB config. It is pretty much the same thing you would use for a cache:

Lenovo Yoga 2 13, Kali Linux 1.0.7, Ubuntu 14.04, Windows 8.1 install, config, and wifi fix.

Lenovo Yoga 2 13, Kali Linux 1.0.7, Ubuntu 14.04, Windows 8.1 install, config, and wifi fix.
I wanted to share an experience with everyone I hope will help others avoid what I have gone through the past 3 days. I bought a Yoga 11s that I loved but had some issues with the wireless, Lenovo being awesome replaced it with a Yoga 2 13. I love this laptop but ran into some issues with Linux install/wireless, which I wanted to show how to resolve in one place. Hopefully this will help someone else get through this quicker
I am going to try and write this for someone with little Linux experience, if I miss the mark please let me know and I will clarify the best I can.
For work I need Windows 8.1 and Kali Linux, while for home I prefer Ubuntu.
My Yoga 2 13:
I5 1.6 ghz
8 GB ram
256 GB SSD
ORANGE!
My requirements:
I need Windows
I need Kali Linux (livecd, even with persistent mode was not an option as it would not save the wireless fix or system updates) – I would also like this on a USB drive and not the internal SSD
I would like Ubuntu
Needed to do this:
1. 2 USB thumb drives (at least 8gb in size each) I used 2 Leef Supra 32GB drives. They are my favorite right now and are only about $27 at amazon.
2. Phone that can USB Tether or a USB Ethernet card (External USB wireless will show as "Hardware Locked"). Again you can pick one up for sub $10 if you need the USB Ethernet route. I used my Galaxy S5, you will need to download 200-300 mb of items through this so make sure you have the data if you go that route.
3. You may be able to get a USB wifi card to work if you do the following after boot. This only worked once for me.
                a.Type ‘sudo rmmod iwlmvm’
b.Type ‘sudo rmmod iwlwifi’
4. ISOs of Ubuntu and Kali Linux (I used Ubuntu 14.04 and Kali Linux 1.0.7)
5. Software to unzip the ISOs. I recommend 7-ZIP and will be referencing this in this guide.
6. I will include the EFI boot files and the WiFi fix files if I can attach. Otherwise I will provide a link to them.
   Link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/puxnnoft3gn2b6l/WiFiFix.zip
Recommended (these are just in case you corrupt something making your system not see any OS
1. I would call Lenovo beforehand and get a set of recover disks (this will take 2-3 days)
2. In the meantime a USB Windows 8.1 or 8 ISO (the repair feature may save you)
*Note: At many points in this guide I detail steps and commands. Please double check that you understand the step before proceeding. There are multiple points where a mistyped command or clicking the wrong option will cause your entire system to fail and you will need to reformat the entire drive and start over. This also will make One Touch recovery not work. Proceed with caution.*
I did not need to disable ‘secure boot’ to do this, but keep in mind that you may need to.
Steps:
First let’s go through the installs, and then we will go through grub config and wireless fix
1. In Windows scroll to computer and right click, select manage.
2. Go to “Disk Management”
3. Select the main HDD (notice Lenovo puts a stupid number of partitions on here)
a. I deleted the D: drive on here, if you do this make sure to copy the drives over to your main C: drive. You will want to run each of the installers and repair the drivers after.
4. I used the space from the D: drive and pulled a little more creating a 50 GB partition for Ubuntu and my swap file
a. You can also add more space by right clicking your C drive and selecting shrink
b. Do not format the partitioned data as this will make identifying it later much easier.
5. Open a command line
                a. Swipe from the right of the screen and select search
                b. Type ‘cmd’
                c. right click and select ‘run as admin’
6. For Ubuntu: Type ‘diskpart’ into the command line
                a. type ‘list disk’
i. You should see 2-3 disks depending on if you have one or both usb drives in the laptop at the time. I would suggest only doing 1 at a time so you don’t lose track.
                b. type ‘select disk $’ (Replace the $ with the number of the drive)
c. ***** Before proceeding make sure you have the correct drive selected or you can ruin your Windows install and Lenovo one touch recovery will not fix it since we have changed the partitions *****
d. type ‘clean’
e. type ‘create partition primary’
f. type ‘active’
g. type ‘format fs=fat32 quick’
h. type ‘assign’
i. type ‘exit’
6. For Kali Linux: Type ‘diskpart’ into the command line
                a. type ‘list disk’
i. You should see 2-3 disks depending on if you have one or both usb drives in the laptop at the time. I would suggest only doing 1 at a time so you don’t lose track.
                b. type ‘select disk $’ (Replace the $ with the number of the drive)
c. ***** Before proceeding make sure you have the correct drive selected or you can ruin your Windows install and Lenovo one touch recovery will not fix it since we have changed the partitions *****
d. type ‘clean’
e. type ‘create partition primary size= 3272
f. type ‘active’
g. type ‘format fs=fat32 quick’
h. type ‘assign’
i. type ‘exit’
j. By doing this we can maintain a portion of this drive as the install CD and still have linux install/ liveCD if we need to run it on another machine.
7. At this point the drive is ready to have the contents of the ISO copied over.
8. Right click the ISO and select 7-zip then ‘zip to /’ This should unzip the ISO to the location of the ISO into a folder named exactly the same as the ISO.
9. Once this is done for Ubuntu ISO it is done
10. Kali requires a little bit more to be ready
                a. Kali will need some files added for EFI boot. --$--
                               i. Thanks to: https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?271-How-to-EFI-install-Kali-Linux
                               ii. EFI files are located within the wifi fix folder https://www.dropbox.com/s/puxnnoft3gn2b6l/WiFiFix.zip
11. Now let’s start with Ubuntu
Ubuntu install
1.     Place USB drive into the laptop and press the “Lenovo boot” button next to the power button
2.     Select ‘Boot Menu’
3.     Select ‘EFI USB Device (Name of drive)’ Mine stated Leef Supra
4.     Select ‘install Ubuntu’
5.     Go through the Ubuntu install until you get to select the install drive
6.     Once you get to the install portion it will ask you to select from one of 4 options. Select ‘Manually select partition’
7.     Select the “Free Space” where we opened up some of the drive
8.     You will need to create 2 partitions, I usually create the swap partition at the end of the drive
a.     First I create the swap
                                          i.    Set at the end of the drive
                                         ii.    Set size to 1024 mb
                                        iii.    Set type to ‘swap’
b.     Second create the ext 4 partition
                                          i.    Set to beginning of drive
                                         ii.    Set to remainder of the space
                                        iii.    Set type to ext4
                                        iv.    Set mount point to /
9.     Finish the install and boot into Ubuntu
10.   You will notice that your wireless is ‘disabled by hardware’ This is fine for the time being and we will worry about this after the kali install. If we fix it now for some reason after installing kali we get the error again and would just need to fix it again.
Kali Linux install
1.     Place USB drive into the laptop and press the “Lenovo boot” button next to the power button
2.     Select ‘Boot Menu’
3.     Select ‘EFI USB Device (Name of drive)’ Mine stated Leef Supra
4.     From the grub menu select ‘install kali linux’ both graphical and text work. I much prefer text install
5.     You will get a few errors through the install but that is fine
6.     The first we see is about network hardware and ‘load missing firmware from removable media?’ – Select ‘no’
7.     Then select no ethernet card
8.     It will have you name your machine then it will ask you for the root password
a.     If you want to just use root *not recommended* place the password here
b.     If you wish to use a non-root account then leave these blank and it will ask you for a name, username, and password of the new machine *Very Recommended* - this will also add this user to the sudoers file
9.     It will then ask you to ‘partition disks’
10.   Select manual
11.   Now here is where it can get a little confusing so read twice click once
12.   Select the USB drive from this list
13.   Mine shows up under (sdb) – Leef Supra
a.     It could be sdc, sdd, sde, etc… depending on how many drives you have plugged in.
14.   You should see one primary drive that is 3gb or so that is formatted as FAT32. – DO NOT TOUCH THIS PARTITION!
15.   You should see the remainder of this drive as ‘FREE SPACE’ select that
16.   Create a partition at the end at size 1024mb and swap
17.   Then create another one for the remainder of the drive and set it to ext4 with mountpoint of /
18.   Continue through the install after you should see an error warning you that ‘you may not be able to boot’ that is fine, select continue
19.   Then select from the menu of all the options ‘continue without bootloader’
20.   It should finish up then reboot on its own.

First setup/boot/fix grub
1.     You should be able to boot up into GRUB2 menu now.
2.     You may not see kali linux in this menu (make sure you have your towel and don’t panic!)
3.     Boot into Ubuntu
4.     Once you log in you should see that you still cannot use wireless due to being locked by hardware
5.     This is expected
6.     Let’s fix grub then we will come back to fixing wireless
7.     Plug in your device to connect to the internet (USB Tethering or USB Ethernet)
8.     Once you verify that you now have an internet connection run the following from terminal
a.     ‘sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer’
b.     ‘sudo apt-get update’
c.     ‘sudo apt-get install grub-customizer’
9.     You can also edit the grub.cfg manually if you know what you are doing… I did not
10.   Open grub customizer
11.   It should auto populate and you should see ‘debian (kali linux)’ somewhere in the list
12.   It should be mounted to /dev/sdb2 or /dev/sdc2 depending on how many devices you have
13.   At this point go ahead and save
14.   Reboot and test that you can get into each OS
15.   This is where my inexperience got me. I spent 2 of my days so I am including this error: If when you boot into Kali you get an error somewhere that says ‘/bin/sh: can’t access tty: job control turned off’ look above it for an error that looks similar to ‘ALERT! /dev/sdc2 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!!’
a.     That error is due to the mount point being incorrect in grub, reboot and from within grub highlight the kali boot. Press ‘e’ then towards the bottom you should see ‘root=/dev/sdc2’ change this to ‘root=/dev/sdb2’ again the number doesn’t matter just make sure it stays the same.
b.     Press F10
c.     If this boots fine then you will need to go back and fix the grub.cfg or load into Ubuntu and open grub customizer again, it should fix this
16.   Now you have 3 working OS on the machine with one being on a USB! Congrats!
17.   You can remove the USB with no worry of screwing up your install, but you will not be able to boot into Kali Linux until you replace it. I would suggest only removing it and replacing it while the machine is powered off, but that’s just me.
Fix Wireless
Now is the time to do what probably ¾ of you came here for. FIX THE DANG WIRELESS. This is a huge problem from Lenovo’s side that I hope they realize how important Linux is and will fix. I won’t hold my breath though.
Log into Ubuntu : This is well documented in the following forum post on page 3 by user Haohe:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2215044&page=3
His has you download quite a large file, mine should be much smaller.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/puxnnoft3gn2b6l/WiFiFix.zip
1.     Download the attached package with the fix.
2.     Connect your USB internet device (tether or ethernet)
3.     Place the packages somewhere easy to access, in this example I will place them under ~/Desktop/WiFiFix
4.     Type ‘cd ~/Desktop/WiFiFix/’
5.     Now we need to prep the tools we need.
6.     Type ‘sudo apt-get update’ – we did this before, but you know, just in case
7.     Type ‘sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname –r`’   Note around uname-r they are the ` symbol not the ‘ this is located just above the tab on the same key as ~.
8.     Type ‘make’
9.     Type ‘sudo cp /lib/modules/3.13.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/ideapad-laptop.ko ~/ideapad-laptop.ko.backup’
10.   Type ‘sudo cp ~/Desktop/WiFiFix/ideapad-laptop.ko /lib/modules/3.13.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/’
11.   Type ‘sudo modprobe -r ideapad-laptop’
12.   Type ‘sudo modprobe ideapad-laptop’
13.   Type ‘sudo rfkill unblock all’
14.   Type ‘sudo modprobe -r ideapad-laptop’
15.   Type ‘sudo mv ~/ideapad-laptop.ko.backup /lib/modules/3.13.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/ideapad-laptop.ko’
16.   Next we need to blacklist the ideapad module
17.   Type ‘sudo echo 'blacklist ideapad-laptop' > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ideapad.conf’
a.     The first time I tried this it wouldn’t work. So I did the following
b.     ‘sudo touch /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ideapad.conf’
c.     ‘sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ideapad.conf’
d.     Enter     blacklist ideapad-laptop
e.     Exit and save
18.   Reboot your Yoga 2 13
19.   Boot into kali and see if you have wireless, if you do then you are done. If not we will need to repeat this process with one small little change.
Kali Wifi Fix
1.     Copy the sources.list from the package provided
2.     Replace /etc/apt/sources.list with the included
3.     Some of the file path changes but the process remains the same from here.
Congratulations you now have 3 OSes one portable to other machines and working wifi!
Thank you

How to display URL images and URL link (html) from Smartforms?

Hi Gurus,
I'm having difficulty on how to display targeted URL images and URL link from the smartforms, after i sending it out as html mail. The mail i sent just can be preview as a plain text, which can't execute the html code that i put inside the smartforms itself. I follow a few step from this very useful blog.. Hopefully, you guys can give me some solutions or ideas on this.

1- put your images in a directory under the web app directory. Example: app/images/
2- in your jsp, use: String file = application.getRealPath("/images/"); to get the images directory. See http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/techdocs/api/javax/servlet/ServletContext.html#getRealPath(java.lang.String)
3- it's not the right forum to post this kind of question. Post them in the JSP/Servlet JSTL forum instead

Firefox will open 4 or 5 tabs fine, but then will not load any further websites after those first 4 or 5, or allow you to refresh one of those first tabs -- including about:config and the addon page

Firefox 5 worked fine. I installed Firefox 7, and when I ran it, tabs would just say "connecting to..." and hang. Restarting did not help. Websites open fine in IE and Chrome. Disabled all firewalls and antivirus, did not help. Uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox 5, everything worked fine again. This was using Vista 64-bit.
Upgraded to Windows 7, uninstalled Firefox 5, installed Firefox 7, had same problem. Uninstalled Firefox 7 completely (including the profile information, I saved that information in another folder), restarted computer, and installed Firefox 7 using a completely clean profile. Did not install any add-ons, checked to make sure all plug-ins were up-to-date, and updated plugins.
Now when I start Firefox, I can load 3 or 4 or 5 tabs fine -- after those first few tabs are open, I cannot open or refresh any other tabs -- including about:config and the add-on manager -- I have to restart Firefox. The hangup doesn't appear to be related to what websites I am attempting to open, but it looks like the number is the problem. I have run through all of the FAQ procedures, including changing the max number of network connections to 48, and the problem does not seem to go away.
As a side note, I had this same problem when I tried to go from version 5 to version 6 as well. Version 5 is the most recent version that worked on my system.

Can you try Aurora - download it from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/
And let us know how it works.

The boxes where I would type in search terms and URL are GONE! So is the BACK BUTTON. HELP!

I downloaded software to convert jpg files to pdf's, and it worked. however, I think it installed Incredimail, and I suspect that it installed Ask.com - neither of which I wanted. It was just after that that my back arrow and my boxes where i type in search terms and urls DISAPPEARED! Firefox is compatible with some important websites and has features that i need. NEED.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Full Screen mode with all toolbars hidden.
* Press F11 to toggle full screen mode (Firefox/File > Full Screen)
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.
