JLabel text not updating when accessed by an Accessibility reader

I'm using JAWS a Screen Reader package that takes advantage of the Accessibility within Java. The JAWS software reads the screen fine except after calling the setText() method of a JLabel. The new text is shown on the screen, but the JAWS software still reads the old text. When, I press the tab key in the JPanel the new text label is spoken correctly using JAWS.
What would cause the screen to display the dynamic text, but a Screen Reader will still read an old value?
Any help would be much appreciated.
I am using JDK 1.4.02_03, AccessBridge 1.2, and JAWS 5.0

I never found a solution to this. This was mainly due to the fact that the project has been put on hold temporarily. I will be returning to this project in the coming months and if I get anywhere I'll post my findings here.

Text not updated when changing the ResourceBundle

this is an abstraction of what i have on my code:
controller
public class controller extends VBox{
     @FXML protected Label ex2;
     public CtrlMainMenu() throws Exception{
          FXMLLoader fxmlLoader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("/view/View.fxml"));
          fxmlLoader.setController(this);
          fxmlLoader.setRoot(this);
          fxmlLoader.setResources(CtrlLanguage.resource);
          fxmlLoader.load();
     @Override public void initialize(URL arg0, ResourceBundle arg1) {
          ex2.setText(arg1.getString("ex2"));
}View
<fx:root type="VBox" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml">
     <children>
          <Label text="%ex1"/>
          <Label fx:id="ex2"/>
     <children>
</fx:root>Language controller
public class CtrlLanguage{
     private static String PATH =
          new File(
               CtrlImageLoader.class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation().getPath()
          ).getParentFile().getPath() + "/language/";
     public static ResourceBundle resource;
     public static void setLanguage(String file) throws Exception{
          try {
               if(new File(PATH + file).exists())
                    resource = new PropertyResourceBundle(new FileInputStream(PATH + file));
               else
                    resource = new PropertyResourceBundle(CtrlLanguage.class.getResourceAsStream("/language/"+file));
          } catch (Exception e) {
               resource = new PropertyResourceBundle(CtrlLanguage.class.getResourceAsStream("/language/EN"));
     public static String get(String key){
          try {
               return resource.getString(key);
          } catch (Exception e) {
               return key;
}problem comes when I try to change the language without changing the current root
the elements of the view are not updated when the bundle is changed (CtrlLanguage.setLanguage("file");) until the root is changed/loaded again
is there any way so i can make the content change without having to reload again the root?

Conky new_mails not updating when local mail messages are read

Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask this, but I'm new.
I recently installed Arch Linux on my eeePC 1005HA laptop with dwm, conky, and postfix (I followed the wiki to install postfix to send local mail). I'm using xsetroot to replace the "dwm-5.2" text in the upper right corner with conky-provided information about time, CPU usage, etc., and want to use it to see how many unread local mail messages are in my /var/mail/spool/USER spool. Using ${new_mails} seems to be the way to go, but the value reported by ${new_mails} only ever increases when a message is sent to the spool, never decreasing when new messages are read or deleted until conky is restarted. I'm only using the "mail" program to send and receive mail to the local spool for system notifications like "your battery is low, save things now".
I've seen other users use ${new_mails} apparently fine, but googling for this problem shows other people having a similar problem. However, I haven't found any forum, wiki, or article about how to fix this without using messy workarounds, and the conky IRC channel didn't know how to fix this, though they've heard of similar problems with mutt. Any ideas?

Bump! I've tried reinstalling conky and postfix/mail, and not much seems to work. Is conky passé now in favor of something else?

IPod will not update when plugged into computer?

Just recently my iPod with not update when I plug it into my computer. My iPod does not show up on my Mac or my iTunes. When I plug it in the screen shows the do not disconnect sign. I have tried to reset my iPod and checked for new updates, but they haven't worked. If anyone knows what to do that would be great.
Thanks

Yes. Since I installed the new system software (10.4.6) update Sunday night, I cannot update any of my iPods except the iPod video. The iPods also do not show up on my desktop. The battery charges but that's all that happens.

HT1277 Mail on my Mac computer does not update when I update my mail on my phone and iPad. Can anyone help me with this? Is there a setting I need to check?

Mail on my Mac computer does not update when I update my mail on my iPhone and iPad. Can anyone help me with this? Is there a setting that I need to check?

All that you had to do was to sign into the old account in order to update those apps. What I mean is that you just needed to sign into that account in the store settings like I described and that should have worked. You didnt need to enter the credit card information again - you justed needed to use the old ID and password.
Anyway, I think the good news is that if everything else is OK with the new account, just download iBooks with the new ID - it's a free app so its not like you have to pay for it again. I'm not sure what the other App is that you are talking about - but if it is the Apple Store App - that is free as well.
Try this anyway, when you try to update iBooks, just use the old password if the old ID still pops up.
Did you try signing into the store settings with your new ID and see what happens with the updates then?

Why the PO action history is not updating when i perform the vacation rules

Hi,
Can any one explain why the action history is not updating when performed the vacation rules using the below example
Example: A >B>C>D are in the approval hierarchy here I have defined the vacation rules by login to the user C here I selected the item type as “All” and delegated to D.
Now the buyer “A” has sent the document for approval. The user “B” can successfully reserve funds and approved the document. Now the document is automatically delegated to D. Here D can open the document from open notifications and approved the document. Now when I checked the Action history here I cannot find the performed name D who has actually approved the document.
Note:we are using the 11.5.10.2 version.
The Action History in the following manner
Seq Action Performed By
================================
4 Approve C
3 Forward B
2 Reserved B
1 Forward A
0 Submit A
From the above action history why the user D name is not showing. Can any one let me know ASAP?
Regards,
Keivn.
Edited by: user10960960 on May 5, 2009 3:36 AM

When you set up the vacation rule, if you simply delegate the ownership to D, then C retains the ownership and the approval occurs with C's limits. And hence D is treated as the approver.
If you transfer the ownership, then C is out of the picture. The notification goes to D and when he/she approves, D's limits kick in and he will be seen as approver.
Hope this helps,

BW: The following objects were not found when accessing server

Hi All,
Problem:
- on the infoprovider, no authorization object is flagged as authorization relevant
When trying to open the query in display mode, I get the message "The following objects were not found when accessing server", when I press cancel, the attributes are not available in the query.
I tested with authorization objects and the only way to get these attributes visible is to put them in an authorization object with full (*) authorization for the field.
Why does the system checks this? Because I don't want to give full authorization.
Is there a way to unable this check, as I want the attributes to be visible (also without the *)
+
When a query administrator with the sufficient authorization (sap_all or the * authorization for the field in the authorization object) is creating the query in query designer including the 'attributes' which are not visible with the 'normal' authorizations, the query will not list the columns in the output when it is executed by the normal user.
What can I do to get them visibIe in the output?
I can not create an authorization object for each of these attributes with * (full authorization)... as it is not logic, and no authorization should need to be checked...
Anyone who faced the same problem?
(>> it seems the system acts as if the attributes are keyfigures, for which you need * authorization to be visisble)
The attributes are navigational attributes.
Thanks for your reply

Content does not update when published

My content is not updating when I publish updates to my app. Side loading shows the updates, but an updated published folio doesn't. On the third try, I got a blank light grey screen. I finally had to unpublish and republish the content, which is obviously not an ideal situation.
Are there any known bugs or problems at the moment that could be causing this issue? The DPS Status page doesn't have any info.
Thanks
-Scott

I'm not aware of a way to get out of this state cleanly. Uninstalling and reinstalling the app fixes the problem (unless your unpublish/republish again), but it's difficult to tell your customers to uninstall/reinstall. Another option is to unpublish and then publish the affected folios as different folios, but then some of your users will end up with two versions of a similar folio until they archive the older version.
Let me ask around to make sure that I'm correct about the cause and to see if there's a cleaner workaround.

My iPod touch 5th generation battery indicator does not update when being charged (Updated to iOS 8)

Note that the iPod touch 5th generation was updated to iOS 8. When I connect my charger to my iPod touch, for the first time, the battery indicator does not update when connected to a power source. Instead of being charged, it says that the battery is being depleted. Please fix this issue. Thank you!

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting

- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.
- If a 5G iPod

Welcome to the 'wonderful' world of HTML5 e-learning.
In my view, from the issues I am seeing everywhere, HTML5 output from rapid e-learning tools such as Captivate is not ready for the kind of mobile device e-learning you want to develop.
Sorry to be pessimistic, but you may need to consider going back to the drawing board and coding it from the ground up.

I've just started using the App Tabs. I think this feature could be handy but why are the sites not updated when I start Firefox. Now I have to manually update the site which is somewhat of a downer. Does any of you know where I'm going wrong?

To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.
