Loading UI components from config file

Hi,
I wanted to know your opinion about a project that i'm working on.
The inicial idea of the project is to have a config file (file.ini) with a syntax similar to this one:
[Component1]
type = sevenseg
width = 200
height = 50
numberOfDigits = 5
foregroundColor = green
backgroundColor = grey
[Component2]
type = button
width = 50
height = 20
command = GETLED 3
[Window]
width = 500
height = 300The application needs to read the file when it starts and after that, it needs to build the interface based in the config file. I think this is the easy part.
The most difficult part is that i also want the application polling a webserver for data in order to refresh the values displayed in the components and also, when there is some input action (clicking a button, changing a slider, etc) i want to send it to the server.
The problem is that I'm not imagining a way of linking the various components that will be in the UI while using this config file.
Do you have any ideas or do you think this can be done?
The purpose of reading the "UI" from the config file was to reduce the writing of code, since this application will be used by people with little skills in programming.
And in the future, it could be possible of creating an application to create all the UIs needed in a way similar to netbeans and swing based UI.
Thanks for your attention.
João Gonçalves
PS: If this isn't possible, I'm also considering the possibility of creating a netbeans plugin to design the UI. Here I don't avoid the coding problem, but i can reduce it a bit.

Well, I'm going to try to explain it a bit better.
The application that i'm going to do is the interface and it's going to be done in javafx, (obviously).
The application will be the user interface of a remote device that will be located somewhere in a LAN. The webserver is located in the middle, between the client (UI) and the device, and is the webserver that it's going to make the bridge between the client and the device.
The architecture will be something like this:
Client <------> WebServer <------> device
The idea of the project is to make it possible to use a large number of devices, all different. So the UI that is going to control each device will need to be customized in order to look similar to the control panel of the device and to permit the user to interact with this one like if he was in front of it.
The reason of my question is because it was asked to me if it was possible to create a config file and load the UI components and layout from the file, to avoid dealing with the code, since the persons who are going to configure the devices are not software developers and don't know too much about java and programming.
This is why i made this post, to know the opinion of people more experienced than I in programming, and above all, in javafx.

Lily,
I made some changes to your table def but you will get the idea
-- Table EMPLOYEE
CREATE TABLE EMPLOYEE
EMPID        NUMBER                           NOT NULL,
EMPNICKNAME VARCHAR2(10 BYTE)                    NULL,
FNAME        VARCHAR2(20 BYTE)                NOT NULL,

LNAME        VARCHAR2(20 BYTE)                NOT NULL,
FULLNAME     VARCHAR2(20 BYTE)                NOT NULL,
HIREDATE     DATE                             DEFAULT SYSDATE               NOT NULL
-- data file employee.dat
1,amy,b,amy b
2,cindy,d,cindy d
3,eric,f,eric f
4,gary,h,gary
-- Control file : Employee.ctl ( you can use truncate, replace or append , see sqlldr for more options)
load data
Truncate into table employee
fields terminated by ","
optionally enclosed by '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
empId INTEGER EXTERNAL,
FName char(20),

FullName char(30)
now to load use following or you can speicify infile in control fle

{code}
Hope this help.

Issue in loading specific columns from a file to teradata table using IKM

Hi,
Can any one help to resolve the issue in loading specific columns from text file to teradata table.
i tried using IKM file teradata and columns are getting displaced.
my requirement suppose i have 5 columns in file and i have to load only 3columns to table using IKM.
same thing can be achived using LKM file to teradata but i want use IKM.
please suggest me on this
Regards
Vinod

Hi,
I believe that the problem you are having is that you have a delimited file, of which you want to pick columns from position 2,3,5. In this case, ODI will pick the first 3 columns of a delimited file regardless of position.
For example, if you a tab delimited file with c1,c2,c3,c4,c5 columns, and you want only columns c2,c3,c5 - when mapping these in an ODI interface, and executing, you will actually pick up the data from c1,c2,c3 as these are the first three columns in the file (reading from left to right). You can ignore "columns" on the right hand side of a file, but not the left. E.g delimited file with c1,c2,c3,c4,c5. Only pick columns c1,c2 will give you data for the first 2 columns
Create a temporary table to load all the data from the file, and use you temp table to extract the data you require. Or you could get the file created with the first three columns as the columns you require.
Cheers
Bos

Jfmerge: [240]Failure loading colour palette from form file.

Hi All,
I need your help. I am new to JetForm and have to use it because of my work. Recently I have been assigned a task which is to amend an existing form, however, when I opened it with the JetForm Designer, it prompted me with message #4043 with following information:
The current settings for Symbol Set handling are different
from when the form was last saved.
Form: Convert is Yes,950,950
Current: Convert is Yes,1252,850
I skipped the warning message and just compile the MDF file directly without any changes. Then, I just got the "jfmerge: [240]Failure loading colour palette from form file." error message during the printing process. May I know how could I fix it? Please help and advise.
Thanks,
Charoite

Hello,
I have exactly same problem than you while opening an existing .ifd file :
The current settings for Symbol Set handling are different from when the template was last saved.
Template : Convert is No,936,850
Current : Convert is N0,1252,850
I suppose it is due to chinese characters (Simsun font) bad installed on my desktop, but it is only hypothesis.

How to load some text from properties file ?

Hi again,
problem is i dont know how can i load a text from properties file like #{xxx['key']} in managed bean, i tried to find some solution but havent seen this kind of use this file in java code. Is it supposed to work only for labels in jspx pages ?
thanks for help ...

Hi,
a managed bean is nothing special from any other Java file. However, if you look at SRDemo, you find a nice way of using the same message bundle that you use on the page
See the messageFromBundle() method in the JSFUtils class of the UserInterface project
Frank
P.s. You can download and setup SRDemo from JDeveloper help--> check for updates

How to load the data from flat file ( ex excel ) to Planning area directly

Hi all ,
How can i load thedata fro m flat file directly to Planning area .
PLease help me in this.
Regards,
Chandu .

download one key figure data from planning book ( interactive damand plan) and made some changes and need to upload the data back to same planning book
But, may I know why you are thinking of downloading, changing and uploading for just changing the figures for a particular key figure. You can do it in the planning book itself.
However, not all the key-figures can be changed. But, what type of key-figure you are speaking here? Is it like 'Forecast' for which the value is based on other key-figures, or is like a key-figure where some manual adjustments are to be done--so that it can be manually edited? However, in both the cases, the data can be changed in the planning book only. In first case, you can change the values of dependant key-figures and in the second case, you can change the key-figures directly.
And please note that you can change the values of the key-figures only at the detailed level. So, after loading the data in the book, use drill-down option, maintain the data at the detailed level, change the figures, and automatically, this gets reflected at the higher level.
In case you are unable to change the values, go to the 'Design' mode of the book, right-click your key-figure, under "Selected Rows", uncheck "Output Only" option. In case you are unable to see that option, then you are not authorised to change that. See if you can change the authorisations by going to the "Data View" tab in planning book configuration (/n/sapapo/sdp8b), and change the value of Status to 3.
Hope your query is answered with different solutions offered by many of the sdn colleagues here.

Guru Charan.
