Java and "High Risk Activities"

The java license says that it "is not designed, licensed, or intended for use in the design, construction, operation or maintenance of any nuclear facility ("High Risk Activities")."
I think this must have something to do with GC? Can anyone explain what is required to make java suitable for "High Risk Activities"? I might have some work with the Russian atomic energy agency coming up.

design, construction, operation or maintenance of any nuclear facility...
"Design" and "construction" rule out CAD design tools written in Java, and UML design tools for software engineering, if you interpret the license very restrictively.
It seems to me that it is a remain from the Cold War era.
I can't say if they simply have written a disclaimer (we at Sun can not be responsabilized by the Three Mile Island or the Chernobyl incidents because Java can't be used at such sites...), or they think that Java is a weapon (like strong cryptography)...
I agree with the conditions "operation" or "maintenance" - plain old Java, without real-time extensions, suffers with the unpredictability of response time due to garbage collection cycles - even if you pass a lot of parameters to the JVM, like -XX+UseParallelGC . (Plain old Linux has such problem as well, so you need to use some Linux distro that implements real-time extensions, or better, an operating system that is designed from the ground up to support real-time operations, like QNX).
I am not a lawyer; please check the license with someone.

Norton detected lightroom files as high risk files and removed those

Hi.
My Norton 360 detected following files as high risk files and removed those
-mc_config_mp2v.dll
-mc_config_avc.dll
Now lightroom do not work properly
This happened both lightroom 4.1 rc1 and rc2.
Should I configure Norton to accept those files or are there alternative solution/correction.

Yes, known issue (Norton being overly sensitive). Unquarantine the files and you should be OK.

JAX-WS Client throws NULL Pointer Exception in NW 7.1 SP3 and higher

All,
My JAX-WS client is throwing an exception when attempting to create a client to connect to the calculation service. The exception is coming out of the core JAX-WS classes that are part of NetWeaver. (see exception below)
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
     at com.sap.engine.services.webservices.espbase.client.jaxws.core.SAPServiceDelegate.createDispatchContextExistingPort(SAPServiceDelegate.java:440)
     at com.sap.engine.services.webservices.espbase.client.jaxws.core.SAPServiceDelegate.createDispatchContext(SAPServiceDelegate.java:475)
     at com.sap.engine.services.webservices.espbase.client.jaxws.core.SAPServiceDelegate.createDispatch(SAPServiceDelegate.java:492)
     at com.sap.engine.services.webservices.espbase.client.jaxws.core.SAPServiceDelegate.createDispatch(SAPServiceDelegate.java:484)
     at javax.xml.ws.Service.createDispatch(Service.java:166)
I have done some research and it appears that as of NetWeaver 7.1 SP3 SAP stopped using the SUN JAX-WS runtime and implemented their own SAP JAX-WS runtime. I also took the time to decompile the jar file that contained the SAPServiceDelegate class which is throwing the null pointer exception. (see method from SAPServiceDelegate below)
    private ClientConfigurationContext createDispatchContextExistingPort(QName portName, JAXBContext jaxbContext)
        BindingData bindingData;
        InterfaceMapping interfaceMap;
        InterfaceData interfaceData;
        bindingData = clientServiceCtx.getServiceData().getBindingData(portName);
        if(bindingData == null)
            throw new WebServiceException((new StringBuilder()).append("Binding data '").append(portName.toString()).append("' is missing!").toString());
        QName bindingQName = new QName(bindingData.getBindingNamespace(), bindingData.getBindingName());
        interfaceMap = getInterfaceMapping(bindingQName, clientServiceCtx);
        interfaceData = getInterfaceData(interfaceMap.getPortType());
        ClientConfigurationContext result = DynamicServiceImpl.createClientConfiguration(bindingData, interfaceData, interfaceMap, null, jaxbContext, getClass().getClassLoader(), clientServiceCtx, new SOAPTransportBinding(), false, 1);
        return result;
        WebserviceClientException x;
        x;
        throw new WebServiceException(x);
The exception is being throw on the line where the interfaceMap.getPortType() is being passed into the getInterfaceData method. I checked the getInterfaceMapping method which returns the interfaceMap (line above the line throwing the exception). This method returns NULL if an interface cannot be found. (see getInterfaceMapping method below)
   public static InterfaceMapping getInterfaceMapping(QName bindingQName, ClientServiceContext context)
        InterfaceMapping interfaces[] = context.getMappingRules().getInterface();
        for(int i = 0; i < interfaces.length; i++)
            if(bindingQName.equals(interfaces<i>.getBindingQName()))
                return interfaces<i>;
        return null;
What appears to be happening is that the getInterfaceMapping method returns NULL then the next line in the createDispatchContextExistingPort method attempts to call the getPortType() method on a NULL and throws the Null Pointer Exception.
I have included the code we use to create a client below. It works fine on all the platforms we support with the exception of NetWeaver 7.1 SP3 and higher (I already checked SP5 as well)
      //Create URL for service WSDL
      URL serviceURL = new URL(null, wsEndpointWSDL);
      //create service qname
      QName serviceQName = new QName(targetNamespace, "WSService");
      //create port qname
      QName portQName = new QName(targetNamespace, "WSPortName");
      //create service
      Service service = Service.create(serviceURL, serviceQName);
      //create dispatch on port
      serviceDispatch = service.createDispatch(portQName, Source.class, Service.Mode.PAYLOAD);
What do I need to change in order to create a JAX-WS dispatch client on top of the SAP JAX-WS runtime?

Hi Guys,
I am getting the same error. Any resolution or updates on this.
Were you able to fix this error.

I just ran a software update for Java and MacBook Pro SMC, now my Mini Display Port to HDMI TV is not working. The TV is flickering. The Mac Display is fine.

I was just watching / streaming TV off Safari on my actual TV.
I'm using a Mini-Display Port to HDMI cable for the connection to the external display.
Software update popped-up and said there was an update for Java and for SMC.
I ran the update and upon the computer restarting, my external display (my TV) is no longer working. It is now flickering.
It won't work in Mirroring or set up as an extended display.
I've reset SMC / PRAM / Safe Mode / Even restored from a Time Machine backup (From before the updates were done).
What could it be?!

I keep saying this over and over, in the hope that people who do a search will find it. Apple cannot possibly test for or be reponsible for the bazillion combinations of adapter, cables, and TV's out there. The only monitors that are 100% guaranteed to work with the MacBook Pro are the Cinema Displays and Thunderbolt Displays, because, they're made by Apple. They're expensive, but they work perfectly.
My guess is that you bought a cheap MDP to HDMI cable, or have a defective one. From my reading of these boards over the past few months, cheap cables have a high failure rate. And the regular priced ones have only a slightly less of one. Try a new one. Make sure you do not damage the Thunderbolt port.

Poor battery life and high temperatures on MacBook Pro Retina 15"

I'm having never-ending problems with poor battery life and high temperatures on a MacBook Pro Retina 15"
I took it in for service and they told me it needed a new logic board and replaced it. When I asked why they were vague about the reasons, they said "it just needed one, it failed some test". I now have the computer back and it runs the same way it always did. I bought this laptop because it was supposedly capable of high end video editing in 1080P (or so Apple's website claims) and also photo editing.
"The processor, graphics, all-flash architecture, memory, and display in the 15-inch MacBook Pro give you unprecedented mobile video editing capabilities. Super-responsive flash storage delivers up to nine streams of 1080p ProRes (HQ) content for multicam editing in Final Cut Pro X,3 while the latest quad-core processors on the 15-inch MacBook Pro decode multiple streams of video, and a powerful GPU renders millions of pixels onto the screen. With flash storage that offers up to four times the performance of a traditional hard drive,1 you can even edit four streams of uncompressed 8-bit 1080p HD video, right from the internal storage on your 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display.4"
However, when I'm just browsing the web and emailing it runs quite warm and battery life is quite poor. Sometimes doing those same activities I would say it gets so warm it's almost uncomfortable to have on your lap and the fans are running fast enough to become noticably noisy. I'm also driving only one screen at and a time and I heard that the MacBook Pro can supposedly do three screens.
If actually try to do something like video editing with final cut pro the laptop gets really hot, the fans are on full blast and battery life drops to only an hour or two. I think when I rendered just a 3 or 4 minute clip once I got less than hour of battery life. I will have to time again.
Anyway most people (including the sales guys) are telling me no way this is not normal. When I play with demos in the store browsing the web they are not getting warm or hot to the touch. My friend's 2013 MacBook Air is also NOT getting warm to the touch doing the same activities.
I installed iStat Pro so I could check the temperature and fan speeds. I'm seeing temperatures of 70+ on the GPU, 85+ on the GPU diode and 65+ on the CPU heatsink along with elvated fan speeds above 5K which becomes noticeably noisy. I understand that might be normal for the most processor intensive tasks but it really doesn't seem right for just light web browsing and e-mailing. (I also may have viber and skype open but that shouldn't matter). CPU usage is usually running between 2-10% as this is all happening to.
Furthermore, straight from the specs:
Intel HD Graphics 4000
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory and automatic graphics switching
I am assume "GPU" and "GPU diode" are temp measurements on the discrenete NVIDIA video card, especially since MacBook Airs from the same and newer generatio do not have this reading. Since Apple Claims the graphics "automatically switches" it seems all the harder to believe the GPU is reaching 85+ when in theory it shouldn't even be activated. I mean, shouldn't the INtel HD Graphics 4000 be capable of simple web browsing and e-mailing? Especially with only one screen activated (be it it the internal or an external)?
What should I do here? When I asked the repair guys "OK well what is the normal operating temp range for the various sensors" they said "Sorry Apple doesn't provide that info".

Yes I have.
Just web browsing and basically doing nothing I'm hear a lot of aduible fans, I'm getting 85C+ on GPU diode, 65+ on cpu heatsink. I since installed anohter program that shows me not just the CPU heatsink but the cores and the cores are at 90C+.
Seems like a lot of heat for doing nothing. Not only that but I have these problems with no external monitor while on battery power too.
I don't know what to do. They already replaced the logic board. Others seem to get advertised battery life out of Apple products and not have products that get **** near hot enough to burn you while just web browsing or watching a movie let alone advertised tasks like Photoshop and Final Cut Pro.

Oracle Berkeley DB Java Edition High Availability (White Paper)

Hi all,
I've just read Oracle Berkeley DB Java Edition High Availability White Paper
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/berkeleydb/berkeleydb-je-ha-whitepaper-132079.pdf
In section "Time Consistency Policy" (Page 18) it is written:
"Setting a lag period that is too small, given the load and available hardware resources, could result in
frequent timeout exceptions and reduce a replica's availability for read operations. It could also increase
the latency associated with read requests, as the replica makes the read transaction wait so that it can
catch up in the replication stream."
Can you tell me why those read operations will not be taken by the master ?
Why will we have frequent timeout ?
Why should read transaction wait instead of being redirect to the master ?
Why should it reduce replica's availability for read operations ?
Thanks

Please post this question on the Berkeley DB Java Edition (BDB JE) forum Berkeley DB Java Edition. This is the Berkeley DB Core (BDB) forum.
Thanks,
Andrei

It is a must. Period.
OK, let's tone down: it is a must for any job related to software production. Not only development.That begsl the question, What does it mean to "know" one of these systems? I would expect Product Management, Documentation, QA, and Support staff to be conversant with the fundamentals of such a tool--check in, check out, version/revision numbers--but not much more than that. Developers, on the other hand, I would generally expect "know" the system with a much higher level of expertise--query language, branching, merging, and so on.

High Risk Vendor PO Approval Process

Hi All,
We have a requirement where in we classify few vendors as High Risk Vendors at the Supplier Header Level. When PO is created, the requirement is not to block the Permanent creation of PO, but to do extra check/validation/approval by compliance/controllership team. Is there any way to route the approval for High Risk Vendors to compliance team for another round of approval ?
Thanks,
Shilpa.

Seeded Oracle workflow approval does not provide this.
An easier out will be to generate a FYI notification to the compliance team when such a PO is approved. This way, they can intervene after-the-fact. Is that acceptable?
The other option is to define a new Hierarchy. In the hierarchy, the compliance team is the first approver with $0.01 limit. And then subsequent approvers come into picture. The disadvantage is that the user will have to select appropriate hiearchy.
You can consider a personalization on the Approve PO screen that forces user to select the new hierarchy if the vendor is HIGHRISK.
Hope this helps,
Sandeep Gandhi

What's a high risk merchant account online?

For some industries, merchant accounts can be more difficult to obtain as they are thought to be a high risk by the merchant account provider. Such industries include:
+• Replica Products • Dating • Telemarketing • Adult • Multi-Level Marking • Cell Phone • Auctions • Travel • Pharmacy • Gambling • Pornography •+
Banks and third party merchant account providers consider these industries a higher risk due to a higher level of charge backs, returns/refunds and credit card fraud. As a result of the high risk associated for the provider of the merchant account, there are higher rates associated with merchant accounts.
It can be difficult to obtain a high risk merchant account from a bank and in most cases can also be quite expensive. Typically speaking, banks do not provide merchant account services to high risk merchants, if they do their rates will be higher than available from a third party provider. Third party merchant account providers can provide accounts to high risk merchants as they have relationships with multiple banks, allowing them to ‘spread’ around the risk.
Due to many competing third party providers, rates for high risk merchant accounts can be significantly lower than those from a bank. However, the rates will be higher in order to offset the risk involved. Typically, application fees for a high risk account range from $500 to $5000, though not all providers charge application fees. Then there are two charges that occur each time a transaction is processed:
+• The transaction fee is a flat rate fee between $0.35 and $0.75+
+• The discount rate is a percentage of the transaction amount, and is usually anywhere from 3% to 15% for a high risk merchant.+
Other fees include monthly statements and services such as fraud protection, as well as charges for refunds and charge backs.

Future of java and testing

So I cry a little inside every time I have to change my design so that I can test things. Now I don't mind breaking the functionality of a MDB out into a POJO..that's fine....but I HATE making private methods public just do I can test them.
Are there any plans to integrate unit testing into java and to allow testing of private methods?

Can we rant about testing here? Oh goodie :-)
I've never made a private method public or protected for that reason, or even ever wanted to test a private method. I only test everything that I promise, and I don't promise even myself anything about my own private parts :-).
If I have some private functionality that is complex enough I do want to test it in itself, I'll delegate that part to another class and test that. In my experience, any refactoring I do to increase testability, I would also end up doing for readability or reusability. And it's never included increasing a method's visibility.
public void testJunk{
MyClass mc = new MyClass();
mc.myMethod();
}I do write such tests actually, albeit very very seldom. And I don't have anyone telling me I should have X% coverage, which I agree is moronic. Metrics are overrated. I do force myself to keep my test coverage of publics very high, because I've never regretted spending time to write a test, but often regretted not having spent that time.
Now, I assume in the above example myMethod is not a method with an effect that can be asserted, otherwise it's just an incomplete test and there should be more, not less. But even if you can't assert anything about it, you're testing that default instantiation followed by that method call doesn't throw. You're expecting it, you're promising it at least implicitly, so why not test it?
That all said, there is something about testing and visibility that bites me. I don't want to put test classes in the same package as the testees. As a result, every class and method that I test is public where it could possibly have been package access. So I do increase from package to public when I promote a class from "too dumb to be tested" to a "test-worthy" class. I'm okay with this in itself; if I'm unit testing it, chances are it can be used in a different context anyway.
What does bug me is that I'm effectively skipping package access, not using it as it's intended, and trading the benefits that can come with it for maintaining this way of testing. Whether a class should be tested or not says more to me than whether it should be public or package, and my way public is synonymous for tested (I often enforce this with static code analysis: if it's public but not tested it will be flagged as "could have lower visibility" or some phrasing to that effect). But that's not the Java way of using public and private access. Oh well.
So, I've been wondering about this, what do you people do? Do you decide about public/package a priori, and then put the test class in the same package as the testee? Or do you not test it if it's package access?

Java and javascript cookies

Hi
i create a cookie called "SaveState" from javascript in my JSP dynpage.
I want to read this from java (NOT JAVASCRIPT).
Is this possible?
if not, is there some kind of portal memory I can use to pass values between java and javascript?
thanks
Anton Kruse

Hi,
<b>Domain</b>
The "domain" parameter is used to set the domain the cookie is accessable to. A path can be set for your own domain only and the domain path must include at least two periods (.domain.com). It must match your server's domain name. Therefore cookies are not a security risk since only the server that sets them can use them.
Check this to know more about cookies:

If you still have questions, I will suggest to google on cookies.

Data1.cab on Disc1 reported by Symantec as a High Risk threat- Recommendations?

I just logged in to our church's A/V presentation PC, which has Premiere Elements 9 installed.
A few moments later, Norton Internet Security reported:
=====
Unresolved Threats:
Risks in compressed file "Data1.cab"
Type: Compressed
Risk: High (High Stealth, High Removal, High Performance, High Privacy)
Categories: Virus
Status: Not Attempted
1 File
[c:\installs\adobe\premiere elements 9\disc1\adobe premiere elements 9\data1.cab] - Not Attempted
Norton further recommends deletion of the file (The compressed file and all contents, including uninfected files, will be deleted, but is too large to be backed up.)
It shows:
_f4ddf449f68b7d6b46fea42c6421b7d6
[Contained in] c:\installs\adobe\premiere elements 9\disc1\adobe premiere elements 9\data1.cab
=====
So, should I remove it? Or is this perhaps a false alarm?
-Kim McCoy

I, too, use Norton (360) and have received these warnings since I downloaded the trial version of Premiere Elements 9.
I've read some reviews that suggest Norton can be overly sensitive. That's not, in my opinion, a reason to ever trade Norton in for a different virus protection. Their tech support is very helpful and our family has been using Norton on every single computer in this house since 1990. We are heavy internet users. So far, we have never had a virus incidence.
Also: I have owned Photoshop and Illustrator for nearly 20 years, InDesign for over a decade. Those programs have frequently beeen upgraded. Norton never once complained about any file in them. Nor did Norton complain about any file in the trial version of Web Design Suite or Design Suite Premium that I downloaded this year, (had to study both to decide which to buy).
So, the high risk warning on a file from Adobe did really surprise me.
I'd been working a few hours in Premiere before the warning popped up. So, I opted to just delete it then try to find something that worked differently with it being gone, (or didn't work at all without it). One can always re-download a program, (even the trial version if time is not up) or reinstall it from the disk.
So far, I haven't found anything that works differently without that file and nothing that won't work without it.
I haven't tried uploading anything yet and do really suspect that that could be the function of the file. Apparently, it has nothing to do with downloading. The auto update, worked just fine without that file.
I'll be leaving it off unless I find something that doesn't work without it.

Testing the Market risk and Portfolio risk Analyzer modules.

Hi guys,
Somehow(don't ask me how) I have configured Market risk analyzer and Portfolio risk analyzer module. When I run report AIS_STDREP it spews out some figures for Duration, convexity... TWRR, MWRR... etc. But I am clueless as to how to test whether these figures are correct.
Any help in this direction will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Kalyan

Hi,
I would test them manually using the formulas.
E.g. for a fixed semiannual coupon bond, we can first calculate the present value (PV) of each coupon and principal payment by dividing that amount by (1y)^t where y is seminanual coupon and t is 1 for 6 months, 2 for 1 year, etc. Multiply each PV by corresponding t to get corresponding duration term and then add up all duration terms to get dollar duration. Divide that by face value to get duration (in half years) and further divide by 2 to get duration in years. This would be Macaulay duration. Divide by 1y to get modified duration in years.
For convexity, multiply each PV by t(t1)/(1y)^2 to get corresponding convexity term; then add up all convexity terms to get dollar convexity. Divide that by face value to get convexity (in half years squared ) and further divide by 4 to get convexity in years squared.
As you know, it is much simpler for a zero coupon bond; so may be that scenario can be tried first to see if system is producing correct values. Duration (Macaulay) is same as actual duration (term) of the bond and Modified duration is D/(1y); Convexity is T(T1)/(1+Y)^2.
For a long duration bond (say, 30 years or more), duration does not depend on the coupon and is approximately (1+y)/y.
