Libraries needed for a IDE (RMI) - weblogic 10.3 server lookup

Hi
Just a simple question, which .jar files do a need to do a simple rmi lookup from my IDE (Intellij in this case) to a weblogic 10.3 server ?
The weblogic.jar files doesn't seem to cut it anymore
/Laban

The weblogic.jar ist still a good place to start with :)
You could also try the %bea_home%\wlserver_10.0\server\lib\wlclient.jar

The thin client jar replaces some classes in weblogic.jar, if both the full jar and the thin client jar are in the CLASSPATH, the thin client jar should be first in the path. Note however that > > weblogic.jar is not required to support the thin client.

Help needed for JDBC with RMI plz reply

Dear fellows
i have a problem which is making me circle in hell :( i mean i m trying to get strings from a database class which connects and returns the data as a string to the RMI server mthod, and then the client can call on this to get that String passed on to it for processing.
when wever i run it it gives me error
Exception : com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
when i run that database class alone it runs fine, but when i call it from RMI server method it gives exception?
can anybody help?

Hi
If you start rmiregistry on the side don't include the JDBC driver to the classpath, use CODEBASE when you start the server.
But again, please give more info.... how you start, how you compile... more traces... etc

Ideas or help needed for a simple, robust pluggable framework

Hi all,
Having written a fairly decent plugin engine, similar in concept to the Eclipse plugin engine, although at a more generic scale, I am looking for any possible ideas for a Java Swing framework that is built around the engine, with the concept of using a framework that is built on mostly plugins. My engine handles, or will soon handle, a number of features to make the engine robust enough, yet still easy enough, to use for just about any purpose.
The engine is pretty simple, although with a bit more work I feel will be overall a pretty robust and powerful plugin engine. Each plugin is made up of one or more "services". A plugin is a .jar file that contains a plugin-conf.xml config file, the classes that implement the Service interface, and any supporting classes. The "plugin" is really the package of one or more services and supporting classes. The engine will handle the ability to work with expanded dir structures as well, so that the build process doesn't have to create .jar files on every build of a plugin. The engine has built in support to load, unload and reload a plugin at runtime. This helps during development by allowing auto-reload of a plugin service without having to restart the app. The engine has the ability to "watch" URLs in a separate thread (still working on this), and at given intervals if a change occurs to any plugin, that plugin is reloaded. This is configurable on a per plugin basis in the config file.
Every plugin .jar file gets its own classloader instance. Because of the nature of a framework that may rely heavily on plugins, it will be very common to have plugin dependencies, where a plugin service may rely on one or more other plugin services. The dependencies are configured in the plugin-conf.xml file, and the engine resolves these when the plugin is loaded, automatically. Once all plugins have been loaded, an "init" call is made that then goes and resolves all plugin service dependencies, setting up the behind the scenes work to make sure any service can use any other service it defines to depend on. Another area is plugin versions. There will no doubt be a time when some sort of application may have legacy plugins, but also have newer plugins. For example, an application built on a "core" set of plugins, may eventually update the core plugins with newer versions. The engine allows the "old" plugins to exist and work while new versions of the same plugins may be loaded and working at the same time. This allows older plugins that depend on the old set of core plugins to work, while newer plugins that depend on the new core plugins may work also. Any plugin may depend on one or more services specified by specific versions, or a range of versions.
Plugin services can define to be created when first loaded, or lazy instantiated. Ideally, an application would opt for lazy instantiation until a plugin is needed. For example, a number of plugins may need to add menu items or buttons that would trigger its service. The plugin does not actually need to be created until the menu or button is clicked on. There is one BIG problem with how this engine works though. Unlike the Eclipse (and other) engines where the config file defines the menu item(s), buttons, etc in an xml sort of language, this engine is built for generic use, and therefore is not specific to menu items or buttons triggering a service instantiation. Therefore, a little "hack" is required. A specific plugin that is created when first loaded will be required to set up all the menu items for specific plugins, then handle the actionPerformed() call to instruct the engine to create the service. The next step would be for the plugin service to add its own handler to the specific menu item it depends on, and remove the "old" handler the startup plugin added to it to handle the initial click. Another thought just struck me though. Because the engine must use an XML parser to load every plugin-conf.xml file, it might be possible to "extend" the parsing routine, where by an extending class could be added to the engine to parse plugin-conf.xml files. First the plugin engines own routine would parse it. Then, the extending class could parse for any extra plugin-conf.xml info, such as menu item settings, and directly set up the menu items and handlers in this manner. I will probably include this ability directly in the engine soon anyway, so that nobody else has to do this, but this is one area I would appreciate some feedback on.
Anyway, so that is the jist of the engine. There is more to it under the hood, but that sums up a good part of it. Now, the pluggable framework, much like what the "shell" of eclipse, forte and so forth offer, is built around my engine to make it very easy to build Swing applications with a pluggable framework underneath. The idea is to package up a startup main class that is configurable, a number of useful plugins that other plugins could depend on, such as an Outlook layout, menuing, toolbars, drag/drop, history, undo/redo, macro record, open/save/search/find/replace dialogs, and so forth. This isn't just for an IDE though. The developer using the framework could deploy the basic app with the plugins of his/her choice, and add to it with his/her own plugins.
Soooo, after this long post, what I am getting at is if anyone would be interested in helping out with ideas, feedback, testing, core framework plugins, and so forth. At this time I am keeping the code closed, but will probably public domain it, open source it, or whatever. The finished framework should make it easy for anyone to quickly build useable applications, and if all goes well, I'd like to set up a site with a location for 3rd party plugins to be uploaded, for download, comments, etc. Being a web developer, I myself will probably work on some plugins for Web Services, web stress testing, and so forth. I have lots of ideas for useable plugins.
On that note, one application I am personally working on for my own use, is a simple yet possibly robust internet suite of apps. I want to incorporate FTP, Email, NewsGroup, and IRC/AOL IM/Yahoo IM/MSN IM/ICQ chat into a single app. Every aspect of it would be plugins. Frankly, I hate outlook, Eudora is alright, but I want to do some things with the email app. I also want a single IM/Chat app that can talk with all protocols (not an easy task, take a look at GAIM). Newsgroups are handy to work with for developers and others of interest, as is FTP. But even more so, being able to have all in one big application framework that allows them to share data between each other, work with one another, and so forth is appealing to me, and being written in Java it could potentially work on many platforms, giving some platforms a possible nice set of internet apps to use. Being able to send an email to a mailing list AND have it posted to specific newsgroups at the same time without having to copy/paste, open up separate applications and so forth has appeal. Directly emailing from any chat or newsgroup link without another app starting up is a little faster as well. Those are just "small" things that could prove to be very kewl in a complete internet app. Adding a web browser, well, I don't think I want to go that route. But if there is already a decent Java built web browser, it shouldn't be too hard to add it as a plugin.
So, if anyone is interested, by all means, drop a post to this thread, let me know of interest, feedback, ideas, point out bad things, and so forth. I appreciate all forms of communication.
Thanks.

Yes I do. I am using it now with my work related project.
I am in fact reworking the engine a bit now. I want to incorporate the notion of services (like OSGi) where by a plugin can register services. These services are "global" in scope, meaning any plugin may request the use of a service. However, services, unlike plugins, are not guaranteed to be available. Therefore, plugins using services must be coded to properly handle this possibility. As an example, imagine an email application using my engine. One plugin may provide the email gateway, including the javamail .jar library and provide the email service. Other plugins, such as the one that provides the functionality for the SEND button, would "use" this service. At runtime, when the send button was pressed it would ask the engine for the email service. If available, off goes the email. If not, it could pop up a dialog indicating some sort of message that the email service is not available.
I am at the VERY beginning stages in this direction so I'd love to have ideas, thoughts, suggestions as to how this might be implemented. I do believe though that it will provide for a more powerful engine. The nice thing is, while the engine will support static runtime plugins, it will also support dynamic services that can come and go during the runtime. The key is that plugins using services do not maintain references to them, but instead query the engine each time a plugin needs to use a service.
Static plugins are those that are guaranteed to be available or if not, any dependent plugin is not allowed to load. That is, if A depends on B and B is not able to be loaded, A is unloaded as well as it can't perform its job without B; it depends on B in some manner to complete its function. Imagine a plugin adding an option panel to the Preferences page only that the Preferences plugin is not loaded. It just can't work. However, with some work, there could be variations on this. That is, a plugin may provide a menu item as well as a preferences page. If the preference plugin is not available, then the plugin may simply still work via the menu item, but have no preferences panel available. This should be configurable via the plugin-conf.xml config file. However, as I have it now, using extension points and extensions like Eclipse does, it is also possible that if the Preferences plugin isn't loaded, it wont look for ANY extensions extending its extensino point, and therefore the plugins could all still run but there would simply be no preferences page. So, I am not entirely sure yet which way is best for this to work.
My engine, as it stands now, allows for separate classloader plugin loading, it automatically resolves all dependencies by creating the plugin registry each time the engine is started up. To speed up plugin loading, it maintains a plugins.xml file in the root dir that keeps track of each plugin that was loaded and its last timestamp. Plugins can be open directory files or jarred up into .PAR files (think .WAR or .EAR files). The engine can find .par or open-dir plugins in multiple locations (including URL locations for direct .par files). When it finds a .par file, it first decompresses the .par file to a plugin work directory. Every plugin must have a plugin-conf.xml in its root dir, and either a /classes dir where compiled classes are, or a .jar file in the root path of the plugin, where the /classes dir superscedes the .jar file. Alternatively, anything in a /lib dir is automatically picked up as part of the plugin classpath. So a plugin that wraps the xerces.jar file can simply place the xerces.jar in the /lib dir and automatically present the xerces library to all dependent plugins (which can import the xerces classes but not need to distribute the xerces.jar file if a plugin they depend on has it in its /lib dir). The "parent lookup" process goes only one parent level deep. That is, if plugin A depends on a class in a /lib/*.jar file in plugin B, then the engine will resolve the class (through delegation) of plugin B. But if A depends on B, B depends on C where plugin C's /lib/*.jar file contains a class A is looking to use, this will not work and A will throw a ClassNotFoundException. In other words, the parent lookup only goes as far as the classpath of all dependent plugins, not up the chain of all dependent plugins. Eclipse allows each plugin to "export" various classes, or packages, or entire .jar files and the lookup can go all the way up the chain if need be. I haven't yet found a big reason for supporting this, so I am not too concerned with that at this point. The engine does support reloadable plugins although I have not yet implemented it. Because each plugin information object is stored in a Map keyed on the plugins GUID (found in the plugin-conf.xml file), it is easy enough to load a new plugin (since they get their own classloader) and replace the object at the GUID key and now have a reloaded plugin. The harder part is properly notifying all dependent plugins of the reload and what to do with them. Therefore I have not quite yet implemented this feature although the first step can easily be done, so long as nobody minds the "remnants" of older plugins laying around and possibly not being garbage collected.
All of this works now, and I am using it. I do NOT have a generic UI framework just yet. I am working on that now. Eclipse has a very nice feature in that every plugin.xml file builds up the UI without any plugin code ever being created or ran. I am working on something like that now, although I am focussed more on the aspect of the engine at this point.
Two things keep me going. First, the shear fun of working on this and seeing it succeed, even if a little bit. Second, while I love the idea of Eclipse, OSGi and other engines, so far I have yet to find one that is very easy to write plugins for, is very small, and is "generic" enough for any use. Some may argue JBoss core, at 29K can do this. I don't know if it can. It is built around JMX and I don't know that I agree JMX is the "ultimate" core plugin engine for all types of apps. Not that mine is either, but I'd like to see what I am working on become that if possible. Currently, with an xml parser (www.xmlpull.org) added as part of the code, my engine is about 40K with debug info, maybe about 28K without. I expect it to grow a bit more with services, reloadable/unloadable code, and some other stuff. However, I am thinking it will still be around 50K in size and in my opinion, with an xml read/write parser (very fast one at that), extension/extensino points, services, dependencies, multiple versions of plugins (soon), load/unload/reload capabilities, .par management (unjar into work dir, download .par files from urls, etc) and open directory capabilities, inidividual classloaders, automatic dependency resolution, dynamic dependency resolution and possibly even more, I think what my engine offers (and will offer) is pretty cool in my book.
None the less, there is always room for improvement. One of the things I pride myself on is using as little code and keeping the code neat and easily readable, not to mention as non-archaic as possible, makes for an easily maintainable project.
So, having said all that, YES, the engine can be used as is right now. It does not reload plugins, but you can dynamically load plugins, handle dependency resolution, have a very fast xml read/write parser at your disposal for any plugin, and for the most part easily write plugins. That is all possible now. I should put the engine I have now up on my generic-plugin-engine sourceforge project one of these days, perhaps soon I will do that! While I have no problem handing out the code, I am currently the only committer and I don't have it loaded into CVS at this point. I would like to do so very soon.
So, if you are interested, by all means, let me know and I'll be happy to send you what I have, and love to have more help on the next version of this.

Do I need to set system env variables for weblogic and SOA server installation?

Hi All,
   I already have two weblogic application servers on my machine(that were installed by others).
I observed some environment variables were also set in System variables(ORACLE_HOME,WEB_SERVER_HOME etc) section in Env variables section(Start Menu---> Computer --> properties ---).But why do we need to have system environment variables wherein we already have those variables in files like setDomainEnv.bat or/and setSOADoaminEnv.bat for each server.
And one more thing system variables will be applicable for all servers(the whole machine) right.It may spoil the installation of new servers and present servers as variables should be unique to each server.
    I want to install weblogic and SOA server installation.
So Can I remove the existing system variables(as they will applicable for every server) and install weblogic and SOA server installation without setting up the environment variables?
Especially I have multiple Weblogic servers,In that case how it would be to have environment variables(JAVA_HOME,WL_HOME,ORACLE_HOME etc)?
Please guide me on this to installl SOA suite .
Thanks in advance

I need a free IDE (Environment) for programming

Hello
I need a free IDE (Environment) for making java card Applets.I want this environment have a good debuger and it works with javacard 2.1 or later.
Please hellp me.
Thanks

Good day.
To developers Cardlet (Applets to loads in smart card) not is necesary some IDE in particular, that you need is have all the library for java of the version javacard that you use and configure you IDE (that's CLASSPATH).
Very IDE are very good JBuilder, JDeveloper, Eclipse, and others; you cna find this for Windows, Linux, Solaris and Mac normaly.
The firts you need is obtain some this and check which the this is more easy for use to you.
Good lock.

WHICH JDK java hotspot I need for weblogic 10.3.6 SOA 11.1.1.7 and OSB 11.1.1.7

I used jrockit but somebody told me that It will be good to move to JDK 1.7.0.28 because jrockit will gone in future.
WHICH JDK java hotspot I need for weblogic 10.3.6 SOA 11.1.1.7 and OSB 11.1.1.7?
and where can I download it?
Thank you

Hi,
For WL 10.3.6, SOA/OSB 11.1.1.7 the Enterprise Deployment Guide has still jrockit sdk 1.6 as recommendation...
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E28280_01/core.1111/e12036/create_domain.htm#CCHBFCDC
The roadmap is to converge jrockit and hotspot JVMs, completion of the convergence project is targeted for JDK 8.
http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/press/1854982
Things are already changed for 12c, but for 11g I'd still go with jrockit...
Cheers,
Vlad

Need for administration server in a cluster

Hello everybody,
          I'm working on a project where we intend on having a weblogic cluster with an undetermined number of nodes. When deploying to the production environement, all weblogic domain configuration is handled using templates and homemade scripts. The weblogic instances are running on different servers and each of them has all the domain configuration installed, including applications to deploy. Now on the initial startup of the system, it seems that none of the cluster nodes will start up the first time without the administration server running, even though the msi-config.xml file exist for each node. I get an error indicating that it cannot perform authentification using boot.properties (non encrypted username/password at this point). If I start the admin server, then all nodes can start and will then subsequently start without the admin server running. Is there no way to configure a weblogic cluster so it is able to start up the first time without the admin server running?
          In this project, monitoring of the each weblogic server instance is performed by an in house product. The need for the administration server at the first startup complicates things for us. I should mention that the domain configuration works fine when not running in a cluster.
          We are using Weblogic 8.1.4.
          Best regards,
          Anders

Inqmy resource adapter for SAP with Bea Weblogic Server

          Hi everybody,
          Anybody have tried to use INQMY resource adapter for SAP with Bea weblogic server
          It works well with INQMY server, but with BEA I'm getting a lot of problems creating
          the connections.
          Thanks in advance.
          Xavi.


All,
          Here are the steps we (used for internal testing) had to perform to get
          IN-Q-MY adapter for SAP to work with WebLogic:
          The wli.adapter.inqmy.sapr3.spi package contains extensions to the
          In-Q-My J2EE Connector Architecture classes to overcome some limitations
          in the base implementation classes. To get around these issues, we had
          to extend their R3ManagedConnectionFactory, R3ConnectionManager, and
          R3ConnectionFactory classes.
          * The javax.resource.spi.ManagedConnectionFactory implementation
          does not over-ride the equals and hashCode methods correctly. This
          causes problems with WLS 6.1.
          * There is a bug in their javax.resource.spi.ConnectionManager
          implementation for non-managed uses of the adapter. Consequently, their
          adapter cannot be used in a non-managed scenario.
          * The javax.resource.cci.ConnectionFactory class does not support
          the getConnection() method that does not take any arguments (it throws a
          null pointer exception).
          I am attaching the classes discussed above.
          Cheers,

Beginner Question - Help Needed for EJB QL Sample Application

I'm working with a group of student interns, like myself, and we've been given an assignment to work with Oracle. All of us have no training or experience with this, so we're just learning as we go.
I've been trying to run the EJB QL Sample Application (http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/java/ejb_corba/ejbql/Install.html), but I keep running into problems at step 3.
Now, we will deploy the sample application onto OC4J. Open another command prompt and go to the folder <OC4J_HOME>/j2ee/home and run the following commands one-by-one
> java -jar admin.jar ormi://<machine_name>:<admin_port> admin <admin_pwd> -deploy -file <SAMPLE_HOME>/build/ejbql.ear -deploymentName Ejbql
> java -jar admin.jar ormi://<machine_name>:<admin_port> admin <admin_pwd> -bindWebApp Ejbql ejbql-war http-web-site /ejbql
where,
<machine_name>      Name of the machine where OC4J Server is running
<admin_port>      Admin Port on which the OC4J server listens. This value by default is 23791 unless explicitly changed by the user
<admin_pwd>      Adminstrator password to access OC4J. The default value is welcome
When I do this step I get this error:
Error: Unable to find java:comp/ServerAdministrator: Lookup error: javax.naming.

Any suggestions to fix this error?
Thanks in advance for any help.

George,
The Readme.html file is available with the ejbqlsample.jar downloadable (Extract and find the doc in Ejbql\docs\Readme.html) which is printable.
Or,
If you are trying to print the file directly from OTN site, you need to set the Page-Setup Orientation to 'Landscape'.
Hope this helps.

Submit: Great Skype for iOS ideas

The new iOS idea board lets you all share and exchange your ideas on how to improve and develop Skype for iOS.
Before you start sharing your ideas, here are some guidelines to help you get started:
Idea Submission Guidelines
Search before posting. Do a quick search and make sure you are not submitting a duplicate. If the idea already exists show your support by giving kudos to the original idea rather than watering down the potential impact across multiple submissions.
Draft your idea. Be as clear as possible, tell us what your idea is, how it would benefit users and why you think we should consider it. That will not only help us to better understand what you want, but we may even be able to solve your problem more quickly another way. Please avoid text speak and keep the idea short and to the point. Ideas are available within a limited number of topic sections of the community as they are not discussion threads.
Currently you can choose one of the following topic labels for your ideas:
Video
Video calling is one of Skype’s most popular features. What do/don’t you like about Video calling on Skype for iOS and do you have any ideas for how we can make video calling even better? You can send video messages to family and friends, even when they’re not online. Let us know what you think of Video Messaging in Skype and any ideas you have for how we can make it better.
Voice
Calling individuals and groups is at the core of Skype. Anything you are currently missing with those features? What would make you use the Skype app more for calling?
Instant Messaging & Contacts
How can we make it easier for you to find friends and family on Skype and add them as a contact? What are your thoughts on how contacts are managed on Skype for iOS? How to enrich your chat experience? Do you have any recommended improvements?
Sharing
Tell us how you would like Skype to be integrated with iOS. Would things be easier if Skype was better integrated with your contacts? Better integrated into other apps? Or in the dial pad?
Some things to include:
Start with a clear title, e.g. "Add XY", ""
Add appropriate label(s) from the list of labels shown below
List features and benefits
Review the ideas of others. Look at other ideas to see what your fellow community members are requesting and feel free to exchange on them in the comments section. While we take into account the numbers of kudos an idea receives, we also consider the amount and quality of member feedback when making our decisions.
Add value. Vote for those items that you like and agree with by giving the idea a kudos. It's really a significant way to recognize someone's effort. We are using votes as a barometer to find out more about what our contributor community thinks is important, so we can factor this into our prioritization process.
Submit a new idea. Adding an idea is just like posting a message on a board. To create an idea, click on the “New Idea” button, located on the left side of the page content tab, and in the left column under the actions heading click “create an idea”. Be sure to enter a clear title and description of your idea so others can decide how they would like to vote. Remember, the more complete your thought, the more likely it is to get noticed! You can use simple HTML, format the text, or add links or images. You can also preview your idea and check your spelling before you post the idea.
Do not be discouraged. Sometimes what seems simple may not be so simple to build. Some ideas take longer than others, and some ideas will not be possible within the scope of what we want to accomplish in the next year or so.
Be respectful. Comply with the Community Guidelines and Skype etiquette.
Disclaimer: Skype may or may not use your comments, ideas, or suggestions. Skype reserves the right to use for any purpose including commercial purposes, comments, ideas, suggestions, code, products or services (“Content”) that are posted on this community without any obligation to compensate the individual or entity that provided the Content.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Idea Board all about?
Idea Board is a new part of the Skype Community, where members can share their ideas about existing products and services. Anyone in the community can see and vote on the ideas you post.
We encourage you to give kudos and comment on submitted ideas as we are more likely to take the top kudoed and most discussed ones into consideration.
How do I navigate the Ideas Board?
Finding your way around the ideas board is a pretty straightforward task, here are some of the things you will see to help you get around.
• New Ideas – The most recent ideas.
• Hot Ideas – The most popular ideas right now.
• Top Ideas – The most kudoed ideas.
The sidebar widgets
In the sidebar you'll find more ways to sort the ideas board, see new and popular ideas and the top rated contributors to the idea board. It's also really easy to view only the ideas with certain status', for instance if you only want to see ideas that are “Accepted”.
How to check if an idea exists already?
Use the search function filtering by the ideas board – or click here (direct link to search function)
What do the votes/kudos mean?
Just as you can give kudos in the community boards and blogs, you can vote for ideas you like on the Idea Board. Ideas with high vote totals are more likely to be recognized and accepted by the teams at Skype who develop our products and services. You can also leave comments on ideas, but remember to be kind!
What do the different idea statuses mean?
We strive to review submitted ideas on a biweekly/monthly cycle. Each idea will go through a life cycle that will be assigned statuses at each milestone. The statuses are explained here:
New Idea - Sparkly new idea, submitted by you, and ready to be vetted by the community.
Comments Requested - Items set as Comments Requested will be open to the community for feedback and votes.
Under consideration - Idea has been forwarded to appropriate business team who is determining feasibility.
More information needed - More information is needed before our Product Management team can take this forward, please review the comments left by the team.
Duplicate - Ideas in this status have already been submitted in some form or another. We will link these items over to the other idea so you can review the status or track the progress there.
Already exists - This is available in the product.
Future possibility - Idea is a good one but not something we can include in a near-term product or software release.
Accepted - Idea has been accepted and has been taken forward for implementation, check back soon for updates.
Not right now - We like the idea but just not for right now, we will revisit it in the future.
Implemented - You asked for it, we did it!
My idea has been accepted. How long will it take to be implemented?
Sadly, we will not be able to provide dates for the implementation of any accepted ideas within the community due to the number of factors involved. Please be patient and let us make sure it is completely ready before we make it available.
How will I know if an idea has been implemented?
You can track the status of your ideas as your ideas are sent to the people here at Skype who can make them happen and you will see the status of your idea is updated. We will be telling you if the idea is something we are working on now or would like to do in the future, or if it’s something that is not feasible for us at this time. To ensure you don’t miss any updates select “Subscribe” from the “Idea Options” menu when viewing your idea.
What ideas have been implemented so far?
You can check "Accepted and Implemented ideas" topic here.
Can I edit or delete my ideas comments?
No, you can't. Be sure to check your spelling and preview your comment before you post it; you can't edit a comment once it's posted.
Who and how often moderates/ manages the ideas board?
The community team is monitoring the board on the weekly basis and product managers will come in on a monthly basis to update statuses of the ideas and post their comments.
If Skype decides not to pursue my idea, will you tell me why?
We do not always provide the reasons for our decisions regarding ideas submitted for review but will strive to provide an explanation where possible.
If I am not comfortable submitting my idea over the Internet, is there another way I can do so?
No.

I would really appreciate if you guys work on the feature “ custom backgrounds for chat notifications”.
If users will be able to choose any image of their liking in the custom background feature if would add value. Currently some of the chat messengers provide this facility to the users which makes interesting to the users while improving user friendliness and satisfaction. Options that would include are
Take a photo
Choose from albums
Search from web
Delete
That appears to be a reasonably robust selection. In search, a user can use a built in engine to pull up images based on search and then select it as it their choice. Once you chose an image, it will be asked to confirm and ‘set’ as the universal chat window for all contacts.

Advice Needed for Coding FCP Plugin's

This will be my first attempt at coding anything for FCP and I am hoping to get some advice on how to proceed and where I can get technical information.
Project 1: Create a plugin to add a selection to the Canvas/Viewer Overlay windows - just under "Show TimeCode Overlays", or there abouts. The option will allow the visual display of the embedded DV Date/Time stamp on the tape, in the same fashion as Time-code is overlaid. As far as I have been able to find, this plugin does not exist yet, so I thought I would give it a shot.
Project 2: Create a plugin to enhance "DV Start/Stop Detect" to label markers with the embedded DV Date/Time code. i.e. Instead of "Segment 1" the marker would be labeled "20070131 19:15:45", assuming of course, a valid date/time existed, otherwise default back to "Segment xx".
But, I guess my first question would be, would these be "legal" projects to pursue. i.e. Is there an API to modify the functionality of FCP in this manner?
I know the DT is available as CatDV has no problem reading it, so I figure FCP should be able to as well.
I figure I will need:
1. Info on how the DT is encoded (hex) in the stream
2. FCP API info
3. Editing app to put the code together.
4. Forums that deal with Mac and FCP coding discussions.
5. Any other advice ANY ONE would like to give.
I have a BSc in Comp Sci and coded on the Main Frame for 15 years, so I have "basic" coding skills, but I have not coded on the Mac yet. I have registered for the FREE Developer Account, but haven't had a chance to explored the service yet.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
ASIDE: I have been editing in FCP since v1 and I shoot events with multiple cameras, sometimes hiring additional cameramen (with their own gear). Because, the events I shoot are usually live "one-of" events like weddings, sports... etc, there is a lot of ON/OFF recording. As such, I find the best way to sync up tapes is to match up Date/Time codes. I accomplish this by playing back the captured video through Firewire back to a Panasonic PV-GS400 which displays the DT on the pop-out display. I then MANUALLY update the previously created "DV Start/Stop Detect" segments with the appropriate DT.
This is a very time consuming process, and if I can get FCP to display the DT directly, it would knock hours off my work flow.
I hope this all makes sense.
FYI I will also be posting this in the 2-pop forums, so if I get any advice there, I will update my post here.
TIA
Gary

Hi Gary
Regarding both your proposed projects afaik there is no API to directly allow you to do this.
However a few options spring to mind: analyzing midi control /mackie control data as provided to a control surface (check out Digital Heaven's BigTime for an idea of how this could work); similarly you could create a virtual DV output device that would appear in the external video outputs list whereby the output video stream would be passed through your code to extract and display the info; perhaps simplest although the least dynamic would be simply to write an FxPlug filter that could be dropped on the clip ... the user could then populate the filter with static display data by manually scavenging the clip for the info with a "button" in your filter (see the options dialog example in the FxPlug SDK)
Good luck

Hardware/Software needed for WebForms?

My company is planning on migrating a Forms 3.0 application to
WebForms (we need to support both Win95/98 PCs and Macintoshes).
I understand the basic 3-tier structure (i.e. database server,
application server and browser based client), but I'm still
unsure of what hardware and software is actually needed for the
application server (especially since Oracle keeps changing the
names of their products). Can anyone tell me what the hardware
and software requirements are for a WebForms (w/reports)
application server assuming that I don't have anything yet (NT
or Unix)? Also, what are the general memory/disk requirements if
the server needs to support about 100 concurrent connections?
Thanks,
Douglas Scott

John,
there is an Oracle marketing slogan about the Norwegian tax
ministery (or so) running with about 5000 users concurrently.
But they are only dealing with the number not further details.
I'm just pushing a customer with a +- 100 form app to the web
and they want ot go production in mid February. They (especially
their admins) are very open to the technology and there are only
some issues on prinitng from forms using customs documents,
invoices and delivery notes. But I think after some changing of
the print philosphy it will be working.
If you are interested mail me and I will try to give you some
hints after production.

Need for multiple ASM disk groups on a SAN with RAID5??

Hello all,
I've successfully installed clusterware, and ASM on a 5 node system. I'm trying to use asmca (11Gr2 on RHEL5)....to configure the disk groups.
I have a SAN, which actually was previously used for a 10G ASM RAC setup...so, reusing the candidate volumes that ASM has found.
I had noticed on the previous incarnation....that several disk groups had been created, for example:
ASMCMD> ls
DATADG/
INDEXDG/
LOGDG1/
LOGDG2/
LOGDG3/
LOGDG4/
RECOVERYDG/
Now....this is all on a SAN....which basically has two pools of drives set up each in a RAID5 configuration. Pool 1 contains ASM volumes named ASM1 - ASM32. Each of these logical volumes is about 65 GB.
Pool #2...has ASM33 - ASM48 volumes....each of which is about 16GB in size.
I used ASM33 from pool#2...by itself to contain my cluster voting disk and OCR.
My question is....with this type setup...would doing so many disk groups as listed above really do any good for performance? I was thinking with all of this on a SAN, which logical volumes on top of a couple sets of RAID5 disks...the divisions on the disk group level with external redundancy would do anything?
I was thinking of starting with about half of the ASM1-ASM31 'disks'...to create one large DATADG disk group, which would house all of the database instances data, indexes....etc. I'd keep the remaining large candidate disks as needed for later growth.
I was going to start with the pool of the smaller disks (except the 1 already dedicated to cluster needs) to basically serve as a decently sized RECOVERYDG...to house logs, flashback area...etc. It appears this pool is separate from pool #1...so, possibly some speed benefits there.
But really...is there any need to separate the diskgroups, based on a SAN with two pools of RAID5 logical volumes?
If so, can someone give me some ideas why...links on this info...etc.
Thank you in advance,
cayenne

The best practice is to use 2 disk groups, one for data and the other for the flash/fast recovery area. There really is no need to have a disk group for each type of file, in fact the more disks in a disk group (to a point I've seen) the better for performance and space management. However, there are times when multiple disk groups are appropriate (not saying this is one of them only FYI), such as backup/recovery and life cycle management. Typically you will still get benefit from double stripping, i.e. having a SAN with RAID groups presenting multiple LUNs to ASM, and then having ASM use those LUNs in disk groups. I saw this in my own testing. Start off with a minimum of 4 LUNs per disk group, and add in pairs as this will provide optimal performance (at least it did in my testing). You should also have a set of standard LUN sizes to present to ASM so things are consistent across your enterprise, the sizing is typically done based on your database size. For example:
300GB LUN: database > 10TB
150GB LUN: database 1TB to 10 TB
50GB LUN: database < 1TB
As databases grow beyond the threshold the larger LUNs are swapped in and the previous ones are swapped out. With thin provisioning it is a little different since you only need to resize the ASM LUNs. I'd also recommend having at least 2 of each standard sized LUNs ready to go in case you need space in an emergency. Even with capacity management you never know when something just consumes space too quickly.
ASM is all about space savings, performance, and management :-).
Hope this helps.
