Is ODI the right technology for me to use?

Hi,
I need to set up replication between three 10g R2 databases.
There will be one main database where the data will flow into two small databases. A little bit of information will flow back from these smaller databases into the main one.
I have been asked to evaluate ODI as an option. Unfortunately I cannot use Golden Gate due to the cost.
I've had a play with ODI and it looks like it's all done on a GUI where I would much prefer to be using command line scripts for setup and monitoring, please let me know if I'm mistaken here and there are command line options.
It also looks like ODI is more geared to integrating data from many different sources but I'm just going from Oracle to Oracle so don't know if it's a bit overkill.
I'm thinking of just looking at CDC which I can set up with scripts and looks to be the basis behind ODI anyway (when it comes to taking data from Oracle) - again, if I'm wrong please correct me. I may even go down the streams route that I have used before.....
Any thoughts / advice on this would be appreciated,
Thanks!,
Tom.

Is JMF the right technology for this...

Hi All!
I have a requirement to build a client app that is subscribed to a JMS topic. Based on the published message, the client has to select and play the appropriate video clip from a total of n video clips. Here are my questions:
1) Is JMF the right technology to play video clips (.AVI format)? What are the alternatives?
2) Can I have these play in full-screen mode?
3) During idle time, can I display a default image (.JPEG)?
4) Does Swing or AWT have to also be used?
5) How can I cache the video clips (16MB * 6 clips) in memory to make it more performant? Is this even neccessary?
6) I need this application to run 24*7 with minimum failure rate. Is this a realistic expectation for JMF?
thanx much!
- Ravi

1. yes. depends on what you want to do exactly.
2. why not?
3. what is "idle time"? you mean the time where your video pauses? yes, you can..
4. doesn't matter. The visual component which you'll get from jmf (to show video) is of type java.awt.Component
5. this is not neccessary. You would reach nothing with caching video in memory. Actually, you didn't say if you are talking about sender, server or recipient side..
6. no. I generally don't trust Applets very much. I would use Macromedia Flash with FlashCom server then, although it has less features and parameters, but it seems to be more stable.

Is JSP the right technology for this project?

I'm heavy into core java, but haven't used JSP before. The project manager suggested JSP for this project, but since I'm writing the spec and the code, I need to determine if it's suitable for the task before committing to it.
Overly-simplified summary:
web-based application
simple form interface, fill in the blanks
user inputs a filename, and a piece of data or two to find within the file
application finds the (binary) file on the server, parses it into a known data structure, and finds the data element that contains the specified information.
application formats the data element and displays it in a web page.
user has the option to save the data in text format or as a binary file on the local machine
That's pretty much it. There are a few things that I'm concerned about, and am not sure whether JSPs are capable of handling:
1. searching the local hard drive (in known directories) for a specific file and opening it
2. creating, for instance, a MappedByteBuffer of a portion of the file and accessing data within it
3. saving data in text or binary format on the user's hard drive
If the JSP can run core java style code on the server, that answers 1 and 2 easily. 3 seems like it should be possible, but like I said, I've never used JSP.
Of course I'll look up the specifics myself, but perhaps someone who has been using this technology for a while can answer my simple question:
Is JSP a suitable tool for this job?

So this project looks like one that could be handled not no roughly using a combination of Servlets and JSP.
web-based application
simple form interface, fill in the blanksUse JSP for the displays. Forms, and such...
user inputs a filename, and a piece of data or two to
find within the file
application finds the (binary) file on the server,The file is on the server right? Good. Then use a Servlet to find the file. Better, actually, to use a Servlet to call some other PlainOldJavaObject that finds the file for you. That way you can test and code outside of the web environment then just integrate into Servlets/JSPs when needed...
parses it into a known data structure, and finds the
data element that contains the specified
information.Again, use Servlet, or a POJO object the Servlet calls to do this stuff.
application formats the data element and displays it
in a web page.Good thing for JSP to do. Just let the Servlet get the results back from the POJO doing the work, then store them such that the JSP can read results and format an HTML page around them.
user has the option to save the data in text format
or as a binary file on the local machineOn the client's local machine? That is doable, I think. Again, use a Servlet to pass what and how to save to a POJO that that does the work. Then the servlet streams the data to the client (using a content type that will ensure the download rather than display...)
That's pretty much it. There are a few things that
I'm concerned about, and am not sure whether JSPs are
capable of handling:
1. searching the local hard drive (in known
directories) for a specific file and opening itLocal meaning Server? Yes, best for Servlet/Data Access Object rather than a JSP though. Local as in Client machine: No.
2. creating, for instance, a MappedByteBuffer of a
portion of the file and accessing data within itServlets have full access to the normal Java API, but they run on the Server, so again, as long as the file is on the server... no problem.
3. saving data in text or binary format on the user's
hard driveYeah, easy. Just a quick download servlet. I believe there are a couple examples here in the forums. Other sites may have better ones...
If the JSP can run core java style code on the
server, that answers 1 and 2 easily.It can, but a little repetition here... this is best to do in Servlets rather than JSP. JSPs should be kept to display only.
3 seems like it
should be possible, but like I said, I've never used
JSP.
Of course I'll look up the specifics myself, but
perhaps someone who has been using this technology
for a while can answer my simple question:
Is JSP a suitable tool for this job?

Choosing the right technologies for a FEM simulation visualization

Hello,
I have been a Flash dev for over a year now, developing games for kids in pure AS3. I have recently started thinking about my Bachelor's Degree project and I decided to use what I know and develop as a developer - and I chose Flash to be my ground technology for this.
The subject of my project is to visualize a finite-element method simulation (FSI - which is simulation for both fluids and solid objects) of 2D (3D for Master's) flow through the aortic valve in heart. What I have to do, basically, is use some FEM application (I chose an archaic Adina) to generate data about the mesh (FEM nodes and elements) and then use it to visualize the whole thing. I was thinking about parsing the output *.dat files and put it to XMLs or just putting it manually in a database so I wouldn't have to deal with file access. Either way is fine, I guess.
Now, my question is - what do I use to optimize this?
Remember, I'm totally new to Flex, I've made only a couple AIR apps.
One of the questions is - use FlashDevelop, which I have been using ever since I started programming in AS3, or switch to FlashBuilder? I definately want to use Flex to create the interface, Flash of course to visualize the whole thing and the problem is I can't get a grip on the overall image. Should I use AIR to build desktop app, or keep it web app, what's the best option for me as a Flex beginner, which will have better performance (as the problem itself is quite complicated) and generally what do you usually use for things like this.
I was trying not to sound too desperate, but I don't really have any gurus around to ask questions like that - I hope you can help.
Thanks for all the input in advance!

Is JavaCard the right technology for me?

I am creating a complete custom contact based smart card application including the designing reader hardware, supplying the smartcards and programming the application. Essentially, I just need a standard stored value application, but there is a twist...the reader isn't big enough to fit a full ISO 7816 smart card.
A UICC format smart card will fit without issue, but I can't find a manufacturer who provides a UICC card except with the associated baggage of a SIM card.
Would a Java Card be a practical solution for this problem? I just need a card capable enough to encode a stored value application on it. Does anyone know approximately how much would I have to pay for a UICC Java Card in quantity 10,000? Is there any problem using them outside of a GSM network?
Is there a better solution or technology I should be considering?
I apologize if this isn't a well formed question. I've only been researching smart card technology for about 24 hours so I am not yet familiar with the details of how the OS and feature sets actually work.
Any advice is appreciated.
Chris

Hi Chris,
From my past experience, you should be able to get cards (either Java Card or other) from a vendor in the form factor you require. I am on a project that is using a Java Card applet on two different form factors. One that is the SIM form factor and one that is a standard card body. The catch is we have a supplier in the middle that does the milling and embedding of chips for a Java Card manufacturer and we are buying quite a lot of cards.
If you can contact a card manufacturer in your area (not necessarily a Java Card manufacturer), they may be able to help out and give you prices (I don't deal with cost, just code). You may be able to find someone that is willing to embed a filesystem card in a UICC body. After all, the form factor is just the card body that the chip is embeded in.
Here are some links for production houses in different areas.

Is this the right forum for this? Using a foot pedal to control apps?

My girlfriend is doing medical transcription - she listens to audio and she types. People who do this, often use a footpedal to play, pause, rewind, etc. while transcribing. I'm hoping to set her up on the Mac to do this, there are pedals which are Mac compatible, but I don't know what their limitations are, or what is possible.
I found some typical USB pedals, examples here:
http://www.altoedge.com/pedals/
...and I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck using them? Can they be configured to control certain menu functions in any application? such as using the keyboard shortcuts in the System Preferences to control certain commands in other applications? I'm thinking that I could make great use of a pedal like this to control any audio player - iTunes, Garage Band, or a 3rd party app I bought and love, "The Amazing Slow-Downer" so that I can use this to practice with the guitar, playing along with recordings, similar to how she would do the exact same thing while listening to recordings and typing.
I hope this is the right forum to bring this up. I don't have the pedal, I'm thinking of getting one, but I was hoping to get input from someone before springing for one. Thanks!!

Well, this took me a while to get solved, but it is indeed solved.
I tried USB Overdrive and it could, and perhaps should work, but apparently it will not. When adding a device, it seems that USB Overdrive is not set up to handle any input device that does not register itself as either a Mouse or a Joystick. The VEC USB Footpedal that I'm using is "Device type: Other".
So, I went for Quickeys. And Quickeys can do it all. It did recognize the device, I was able to assign it to the scope of the particular audio playback app I wanted to use (Amazing Slow Downer OS X - which is truly amazing. Any musicians reading this who are looking for a way to learn pieces by ear, this does it better than anything else I've seen yet).
I created a shortcut in Quickeys for the ASD app; added the middle button of the foot pedal as the trigger; set one step, entering 'space bar' as the step (which toggles playback, similar to many audio players).
It all worked.
Quickeys is very confusing and seemingly featured with an endless array of options. Enter at your own risk. Ask me for help. This was the only way to get it done that I could find. I did write to the author of USB Overdrive asking him to please support additional devices as I did find some traction from gamers who like to use a foot pedal in addition to other input devices. There was a Windows-only management utility for the foot pedal that was intended for custom input, assigning the buttons to any keyboard input or mouse click event. It would be nice to have a simple and easy to use utility like this. But, Quickeys did do the job.
Thanks for your help, you guys!!!

Is iM the right program for me to use?

I am jumping into the world of video blogging or as the macworld calls it: video podcasting. I have never done anything video before. At first I was thinking iMovie will be the program I need. But the more I read about it, the more I feel that iMovie is not for me. Am I right?
I need a program that can create a film:
1. that is able to help me cut videos coming from my iSight webcam, and can separate audio from video.
2. that can also do the same for video from my digital cam, (soon to be Casio Exilim Z70) ... I don't care if I need to convert formats, as long as it is doable without much loss in quality
3. that can then take this video and save it in a format usable for a podcast and can then be used on YouTube or a personal site.
The more I look into iMovie, the more I see a tool built for home videos, and the idea of creating files that are then recorded back to the tapes. What I need is a program that can create short digital films in resolution such as 640x400 that can be used online. Could iMovie be this program? Do I need any additional programs?

I am confuse to choose right technology for file sending?

Dear all
i am working in medical transcription project in that we have to send and receive more doc file and voice file from various client (web client and desktop client).
i have three three technology which makes me confusion
1. RMI with NIO
2.servlet with URL class in client
3.SAAJ with attachment[i dont know much about this]
so please suggest me which is the right technology for file sending and receiving...the file may maximum 20 MB

It depends if you have a valid reason to use web services. If you are providing a web front end to your application for clients to use then you could just use a standard file upload procedure, I have used apache commons and it works well for this.
If your requirements indicate that a web service call is the answer as you have some system-to-system connectivity then I think you will need to use saaj and add the file as a SOAP attachment, as embedding 20MB of binary data into a string field on a standard SOAP message will probably cause the JVM to run out of memory.
Cheers

Why Can't VZ do the Right Thing For Once and Permit Network Extender Owners to Close their Networks?

Given the fact that the Network Extender can be set for managed access or open access, clearly it can technologically be configured so that a closed network could be set up so that ONLY those users that are included in the "priority list" could access the Network Extender.
If I had to guess, Verizon, prefers to benefit from your internet connection and your investment in a network extender by bolstering their network in poor reception areas for all of their customers in the vicinity on us Network Extender owners' backs rather than to do the right thing and permit a customer who has paid for the device as well as their internet access to close the network.
I find this sleazy and hope VZW will rethink its approach to this. We who subscribe to VZW for our cellular service pay the highest rates, on average, in the country for cell service. We have also paid hundreds of dollars for the Network Extender, and pay for the internet that is used to facilitate the phone calls made through the network extender.
Once it a while it would be nice if VZW did the right thing for its customers and not blatantly, at least, put their corporate greed about the needs of their customers.

I called Verizon tech support, and was informed that there is an option to close the Network Extender. This would allow only numbers on the white list to connect to the extender. Is the information I received incorrect? I spoke to them just the other day. Have you tried to configure the extender recently?
My post asking for clarification is here: https://community.verizonwireless.com/message/1002928#1002928
Thanks for any information you can provide.

Is CF the right one for me?

I am trying to decide if CF is the right language for a side
project I am beginning. I am not a beginner to web design but am
far from advanced. I have made stuff in the past and have a
knowledge of html. I also use to write software in VB6 (nothing to
crazy just small side stuff). I am embarking on a project to write
some intranet workbench software for my company. I want it to serve
as a salesmen ordering/tracking system as well as a project
management system. Obviously it is a big task and I am going to
break it into small pieces to work on over time and continue to
expand and use it.
I have seen CF before and know people who swear by it. I have
used it briefly so I have some understanding.
My question would be as to the correct way to move forward on
this project.
First, is a web project vs. a standalone installed product
the way to go?
Second, what is the right technology (CF, ASP?) I have no
knowledge of ASP so that would be a learning curve.
It is not expected to be hit by a tremendous amount of
employees. Currently we have 29 and I was going to use an access
database so any server technology should be less of a bottleneck
than my database.
I guess before I start in the wrong direction I wanted to get
some feedback on what direction you all would recommend?

Coldfusion is a kids language, a dying language, an out of
date
language, ect, ect.
No seriously, the main problem with CF is adoption. Some folk
complain about
cost, but the issue is adoption (though I am sure there is a
connection).
If CF not being as popular as other soultions is not a
problem (popularity
isn't everything), then go for it if you can afford it.
Personally I would
be considering better priced options that offer more RAD
features (Ruby On
Rails, for example, is free) - but that wuold be mostly
becasue I am not
sure what the future holds for CF and I happen to know that
the Ruby option
is much faster to code.
If CF is something you are comfortable with, then there is no
reason to not
use it - it WILL get the job done.

Is DPS the right direction for me?

Hello - I'm currently currently teacher technology at the high school level. We have just received the CC upgrade. I had the thought of being able to have apps for the school created by the students. I was wondering if it possible to have apps for both Android and Apple of the InDesign projects the students have created, such as the weekly school newsletter and maps of the school for freshman and etc. I figured this would be the easiest way to get content like this to the students and staff (or maybe it's not, open for all ideas!)
I'm trying to wrap my head around the whole DPS/app store thing and am getting very overwhelmed!
So my questions are;
1 - Is it possible to have the interactive PDFs be created into "apps" for both stores?
2 - Is this included with the CC subscription my school has purchased?
If anyone can lead me in the right direction that would be extremely helpful. Thank you!

DPS probably isn't the right solution for you. CC only includes support for building an app for iPad, not Android. Furthermore, Apple is stringent about the kinds of apps it allows in its store, and you will have and I suspect you'll have a hard time getting Apple to approve a basic school newsletter app approved.
Honestly I think your type of content is better suited to a blog or a website built using Muse.

Is JAAS the right choice for me?

I'm trying to get my head around what JAAS is and if its the right thing for me to be using for an application I'm writing. Let me describe the situation:
Its a client-server system. The client connects to the server and sends a username and password to authenticate itself. I want the server to check the username and password against the server's local accounts to check that the password is right.
Am I right in saying that JAAS will not do this and will in fact only validate the user that the server process is running as?
I there something better that I could be using?
On a slightly different note I would also like to be able to change the user that one of the threads of the server is running as. Is this possible with any pre-existing technology, or is it possible with a bit of JNI?
Mossop

Ok, maybe I should give JAAS a try then. Its a linux/unix system so I can just knock up some native code to implement a LoginModule that calls the standard PAM library
The point of changing the user that the thread is running at is to ensure that the thread cannot access any files on the server that that particular user should not have access to. Unless anyone can suggest a platform independant way of doing this, I can only think of 2 ways, both involving native code:
1. Have some native code that given a username and a filename will return what permissions the user has on the file. This would I imagine be quite a pain to write.
2. Have some native code that changes the user that the thread runs as. Then we can query files through the File interface, and what's more, bugs in the java code cannot accidentally access files that the user shouldnt be able to access.

What is the right charger for a MacBook Pro 13" mid 2009 model?

What is the right charger for a MacBook Pro 13" mid 2009 model? I have two chargers for two different Mac and don't know which is thankswhich. I'm really looking for specific details such as voltage/watts and all the rest to idenify my charger. A link to where to web page where I could purchase the correct charger would also be very useful. Many thanks.
All help much appreciated. THANK YOU

Both power adapter I have are different (at the magnet end) from the one in link.
Earlier adapters have T shaped connectors, which Apple later changed to the L shape, presumably to make them more abuse-proof. Either one is fine and the one you are using will not damage your Mac.
Retina MBPs and new MBAs use a completely different MagSafe 2 connector which will not fit (without an adapter).

How can i find out which Macbook is the right one for me?

I am looking into buying anew laptop and I'm currently considering a macbook as oppose to a windows laptop. which one is the right one for me?
1. I will be using it for my work at college and university so it will need to have a reasonable amount of storage and have the correct programs.
2. I use the internet alot.
3. I have an ipod touch so i will need storage for my music.
4. It will need it to be quite quick.
5. It will need to support some software that i use on windows.
Also, do you think a macbook is what i need as oppose to windows. what are the pros and cons of the macbook

This is the most important question. I would check with your school. They may have a recommendation for what you need and the software you will need to use. They also may have a discount program for you to purchase your computer. If not Apple does have an education discount plan to give you a break.
5. it will need to support some software that I use on windows.
Hard to give an answer for this as we have no idea what your going to be using or what your school requires you to use. My sons college had specific programs he had to have.
