Maintaining session info on the CSS

I know by default the CSS cannot do this but what if I want it to. I have an IM application that a person has requested be put behind the CSS. They want it to be able to maintain sessions during a failover event. Any way to do this with the CSS?

You could talk to your Cisco office and see if they would consider it for a future release. If theres enough demand, you may get it through. What messaging software are you using?

How to find the session info using the Unix PID

Hi Guys
We found in alert log that Some process with Unix pid 3416182 makes some transaction fail. It happened on weekend and now when we try to find it in v$process we did not find any info. Is there any place where oracle stores the PID History where in i would be able to find which process,session,user caused the transaction failure.
Kindly help me. I m using oracle 10G R2.
Thanks in advance
Ram
Edited by: user448837 on Jun 29, 2009 2:04 AM

We found the transaction failure because of an online rebuild.This rebuild is with a PID which none of the DBA's ran.From trace we can just see the unix PID.With this we need to find the user who ran this rebuild

New insight into my dropdown list problems: loss of session info

I tried again, this time with NetBeans 5.5.1 (with Tomcat 5.5.17) and stepped through my code; code executed as a result of selecting an item in the second, misbehaving dropdown box.
I have this function:
    public void prerender() {
        SessionBean1 sb = this.getSessionBean1();
        sb.setPortfolio_id(0);
        this.getDropDown2().setSelected(ddsi);
    }This uses a private data member:
Object ddsi = null;
And here is my value changed event handler for this combobox:
    public void dropDown2_processValueChange(ValueChangeEvent event) {
        SessionBean1 sb = this.getSessionBean1();
        String sp_id = (String) this.getDropDown2().getValue();
        ddsi = event.getNewValue();
        String desc = (String) ddsi;
        Long Ldesc = new Long(desc);
        long p_id = Ldesc.longValue();
        sb.setPortfolio_id(p_id);
        this.getFacesContext().getCurrentInstance().renderResponse();
    }As you can see, I am trying to ensure that the value selected is preserved and used the next time the item is rendered.
sb.setPortfolio_id(p_id); is a trivial setter function (taking a long argument) for the property portfolio_id.
When I step through this code, at every step along the way, I see the correct value for p_id! The correct value is passed to the session bean! And I even see the correct value in ddsi when the function "prerender" is executed. However, it seems that this information is lost when the page is actually rendered.
And, when the servlet that produces the image that is to be displayed on the page checks the session bean, the session bean has the default value (0) for the portfolio_id property rather than the the value (30) that had been passed to the session bean.
It is as if the session information has been lost, or a new session bean is provided each time the page is rendered.
The only additional clue is this (found in Tomcat's output);
com.sun.rave.web.ui.component.DropDown::The current value of component form1:dropDown2 does not match any of the selections.
Did you forget to reset the value after changing the options?
Why is this happening? I know full well that at the time the value in dropdown2 is changed, the value in dropdown1 has not, and therefore the value passed to dropDown2 IS in the list of selections. But, when the value in dropDown1 is changed, the list of options in dropDown2 is changed. I wonder if the valueChanged event handler for dropdown1 is being executed every time the page is rendered, forcing dropDown2 to "forget" what was selected, and somehow losing the session info at the same time?????????
Any ideas?
Thanks

Upgrading to itunes 7.0 just cost me 2 days of messing around and in the end I had to revert back to v6.0 and resore my lib.
Apple CS was good but did not belly up the fact that 7.0 is defective in some cases and in the end told me I had a hardware problem!
The main issue is that I could not get itunes 7.0 to see my ipod (very infrequently after a hard boot I would see it but would not be able to upload anything). Worked(s) 100% with v 6.0.
This is very defintey 1/2 baked following in the steps of the other well known producers of sw that is not always functional/buggy the first time around.
My computer is a x40 IBM laptop with xp sp2. Will have to wait a few more weeks to see how this pans out.

Where is the file that contains info on previous session info on a Mac?

Where is the file that contains info on previous session info on a Mac? I would like to restore several windows and tabs I had open earlier, but the restore previous session menu item does not appear to be available. I had to install and use an older version of Firefox (3.6) to access a website (Fedtraveler.com) that is not compatible with Firefox 6 and is seems to have cleared out the previous session information. I thought I would use Mac OSX Time machine feature to restore the Firefox file where this the previous session info is kept but I don't know what it is called nor how to find it.

That is the file sessionstore.js in the Firefox Profile Folder.

How to maintain info in the Toshiba ReelTime that I keep on toolbar?

I hope I'm in the right place :-)
I would like to understand, for once and for all, how to maintain info in the Toshiba ReelTime that I keep on my toolbar.
Whether pictures or documents on my dasktop: when I send them to documents they are lost from ReelTime and it says "the file for this shortcut no longer exists."
How can I avoid that because what is the point of ReelTime otherwise?
Thank you.

Hi
Toshiba Reeltime is a free app showing you a visual timeline of your recently accessed files using graphic thumbnails like movie frames, so you can get to your files faster.
The Reeltime makes easier to search for files up to 5000 recently used documents in a timeline. The presentation will be in reverse chronological order, so the most recently used files would appear firstly. Filters allow you to limit the search to photos, text documents or other types.
> Whether pictures or documents on my dasktop: when I send them to documents they are lost from ReelTime and it says "the file for this shortcut no longer exists."
This happens because the place of the files has changed

Using the Set Session Info to populate Custom Variable

Hey everybody, I'm trying to setup a Set Session Info step so when a caller presses 1 for instance to go to a specific department I can go into the database and see how many callers pressed a certain button.
Here's what I've done so far, I've setup a Session called session_info with the value of null. At the very beginning of the script it shows session_info = Get Contact Info --Triggering Contact--, Session)
Then in the menu field when a caller presses 1 I have the Set Session Info step with the Session being session_info and then in the Context tab I have "_ccdrVar3" for the name and "1" for the value.
The script doesn't fail it's just not populating any Custom Variable with any data.
Also I've tried using the Set Enterprise Call Info and using a value of 1 and then Call.PeripheralVariable3 for the name. Not sure what the proper way to do this is. Anybody have any ideas?

Hi
You don't need a session var.
You just need to use 'set enterprise data' to set a call.peripheralvariable to what you like.
The data goes straight into the contactcalldetail table.. You can check it by doing:
run uccx sql db_cra select * from contactcalldetail where customvariableX = 'yoursetting'
Where 'yoursetting' is what you set the ent data to, and customvariableX is the var you use (e.g. customvariable3 if you use call.peripheralvariable3)

NTLM through the CSS not always working...

Good afternoon,
We're using a CSS in a one armed config, so everything is in a destination group. We have a set of web servers that we use the CSS to split traffic based on URL (ex. /* goes to server1 and 2, /Sites* goes to server3 and server4)   All 4 are running IIS, we do have the "http-method parse RFC-2518-methods"
set, and are using NTLM.
That generally works fine, but see two bits of strange behavior:
    1. Sometimes traffic that should go to 3 and 4 goes to 1 or 2
    2. Sometime we get prompted for login info, even though it should flow through.
We see problem number 2 when pointed at a content rule with just one service added to it also...
Any pointers?
Thanks,
Ken

Ken,
Are these long winded tcp connections, or does the client open several different tcp connections for this app? The reason I ask is problem 1 sounds like a possible garbage collection issue.
Take a look at this snip from the link below.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/contnetw/ps789/products_qanda_item09186a00801cb75b.shtml#q9
Q. How is flow garbage collected?
A. The flow manager has a timer task that wakes up every second. This timer task performs garbage collection in an interval that depends Aron the total number of flows on either a single port or the session processor as a whole. By default, garbage collection will run every eight seconds. Each time the garbage collection runs, it looks at a number of slots in a hash table of mapped flows. Each flow is checked to see if it is older than a certain number of seconds, which varies depending on protocol. If the flow is older than a given number of seconds, the fastpath is asked if there has been any activity on the flow within a protocol dependent number of seconds. Thus, you would expect to allow more "dead" time for a chat flow than an NFS flow. If the fastpath either cannot find the flow asked about or the flow has been idle for longer than the specified number of seconds, the flow is torn down by the fastpath.
While we allow for a protocol number of seconds for a flow to be idle, the actual time that it takes to garbage collect a dead flow is that number of seconds plus the time it takes to get through the flow map. This could be as long as four extra minutes, or as short as exactly the timeout interval for a flow of a given protocol type. It is not strictly deterministic because of the way that the collection algorithm works.
As the load increases on a given port or the session processor, the number of seconds between garbage collection intervals goes down first to four then to every two seconds. The number of slots looked at also doubles each time you pass a load threshold. The busier you get, the more cleanup efforts are made. Usually, this works pretty well to maintain resources.
If you ever run short of buffers, immediately try to garbage collect, and also take any buffers queued to a flow (only relevant for content aware processing) and return them to the system buffer pool. This will cause a retransmission for the client but will maintain the system integrity. This is reviewed as a minor penalty. This also is very rare.
For example, if the flow is set up in a hash bin that the garbage collector gets to just after the default timeout interval, and there has been no activity within that timeout interval, the flow will be removed. The flow is torn down via garbage collection in as little as 15 seconds.
When a flow is removed, it is placed at the end of the free list. This list contains all allocated flows (used or not) in the system. The flow remains in a list that is hashed via network tuples so that you can forward any frames until such time as the flow is reallocated off the front of the free list. Under these circumstances, you may see a connection be destroyed in as little as 15 + ( (total allocated FCBs / 2) / sustained flow rate per second) seconds. The flow gets torn down rapidly, however, it is around long enough to do useful work till it gets reallocated from the head of the free list.
When the flow is in the free list we do not look to see what rule is the better match. the request would get sent to whatever server was last used when the flow was garbage collected. The snip above mentions 15 seconds but for http traffic this is really 8 seconds of idle time before we garbage collect. You can try increasing the time the css takes to garbage collect a flow to see if this helps. It may also be part of the problem for the second issue as well.
the command is "flow-timeout-multiplier x" x is a multiple of 16 seconds so the command flow-timeout-multiplier 4 would tell the CSS to not garbage collect the flow until over 1 minute of idle time is seen. This command would be added to all content rules that are seeing this issue. Give this a shot to see if it helps.
Regards
Jim

Maintain session in JSP frame

Hi,
I am having trouble in maintaining session in jsp frames. -
Here is sample code
parent.jsp
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<LINK rel=stylesheet type="text/css" href="defaults.css">
<TITLE>abc</TITLE>
<%
     String checkAmount = "100.00";
     session.setAttribute("checkAmount", checkAmount);
     System.out.println("checkAmount in ppmain"+session.getAttribute("checkAmount"));
%>
<FRAMESET rows="235,*" frameborder="no" >
<FRAME NAME="pptop" SRC="top.jsp" frameborder=0 scrolling=no noresize >
<FRAME NAME="ppbottom" SRC="bottom.jsp" frameborder=0 scrolling=no marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 noresize>
</FRAMESET>
</HTML>
top.jsp -
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<LINK rel=stylesheet type="text/css" href="defaults.css">
<TITLE>top</TITLE>
<%
System.out.println("session in top "+session);
System.out.println("checkAmount in top "+session.getAttribute("checkAmount"));
%>
</HTML>
It is not able to retain session in the top.jsp ( in SOP for session I get different session ID in parent.jsp and top.jsp
This Works well in local but when gets deployed to WAS6 server troubles starts.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

When you create URLs, you might want to try using JSTL to rewrite them:
<FRAME NAME="pptop"
       SRC="<c:url value='top.jsp'/>"
       frameborder=0
       scrolling=no
       noresize >
<FRAME NAME="ppbottom"
       SRC="<c:url value='bottom.jsp'/>"
       frameborder=0
       scrolling=no
       marginwidth=0
       marginheight=0
       noresize>Or you can use:
SRC='<%= response.encodeURL("top.jsp") %>'

How to pass session info to applet?

Hi all,
Is it possible to pass a browers' session id to applet in Tomcat server? I've known that an applet can get a session info from brower.
Howserver, since I can't chage a applet code I want to modify Tomcat server to maintain session.
Is there any suggestions?
thanks.

The Servlet will normally communicate the session id with a web client (e.g., browser) via cookies. A random session UID is generated and associated with a given client's session. The id is sent back to the client via the http-header set-cookie. On subsequent requests, the browser will include the cookie http-header containing the UID. Some implementations may opt to store the session UID in a hidden form field, though this is less common.
I'm not sure where the applet is in your architecture. However, if you send and receive HTTP messages, you should be able to store the id and ensure that you send your own requests to the Servlet with the appropriate cookie http-header.

How can I view/edit the CSS rules that apply to an Order Registration Layout ?

*Note: I am new to web design and I did not create the site that I am working on. I am also very VERY clumsy with CSS at the moment *
I have just begun using Dreamweaver to work on a Business Catalyst site. I am attempting to edit the CSS of the layout for the Order Registration Form. The CSS is applied from the site-wide template that is assigned to the Order Registration Layout. When viewing the layout in Dreamweaver, it does not display any CSS info for the page. However, when viewing the live page for the Order Registration, it is clear that CSS is adversely affecting the layout.
Is there a way to link the css rules from the site-wide template to the Order Registration Layout? Or should I just add a new CSS rule directly to the Order Registration Layout (possibly overriding the site-wide template's CSS)?
Thanks!
Nate

I've used Firebug as well as the Webkit developer tools in Chrome and Safari which have surpassed Firebug in my opinion. But they all suffer from the fact that the changes you make in them have to later be applied to your code which means you have to take the extra steps of trying to remember what all changes you made in Firebug and copying and pasting them back into your files. Whereas in Dreamweaver you can Inspect, make changes directly to the code in your file, and you're done. Not happy with the last few changes? Undo. Want to start completely over? File > Revert.
Dreamweaver has excellent tools for determining what css is being applied to an element and by what means. And it's a more streamlined and direct workflow where you work directly in your code. I still use Firebug and the others from time to time though. But only for very basic "spur of the moment" testing. And usually only when I don't have immediate access to the raw files.

My computer crashed and I no longer have the itunes library. i get an error msg that my iphone is synced to another library - how can I get the info from the phone to the itunes library?

my computer crashed and I no longer have the itunes library. i get an error msg that my iphone 3g is synced to another library - how can I get the info from the phone to the itunes library without losing everything? How do I delete old audiobooks from my iphone?

You can transfer itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
The iphone is not a storage/backup device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.

Getting Session Info In A Normal Class

I want to get session info from a class that is not servlet (generally from in a bean). When we use servlets it is so easy to get session info by just using request.getSession() method. Is it possible to get this session info in a normal class which is not servlet Technology?

Is it possible to get this session info in a normal class which is not >servlet Technology? No reason you cannot.
But do remember that normal java classes which arent Servlets/Jsps arent invoked by the container as part of the standard request processing.
Beans, for example, are instantiated (& reused) from within a Servlet or a Jsp.
So all you have to do is retrieve the session info (or a part thereof) from within a Servlet/Jsp that's part of the request cycle and pass this data onto the bean when you invoke its methods.

Jaxm - Maintaining Session State

Hi,
I have the following problem:
My client dispatches jaxm-soap-messages to a java-servlet using the reference implementation of sun (wsdp). For each time I use the same SOAP-connection object. The problem is, that the servlet opens with each inquiry a new session. How can I maintain the session ( for example setting a cookie in case of http as the protocoll)? Is there a mapping between parameter in soap-header to http-header ?
Greetings,
Zubow

Hi. I ran into the same situation a while back. I'll tell you how
I resolved the problem.
You have to build your own handler class. Extend the javax.xml.rpc.handler.GenericHandler class. Implementing the handleRequest(MessageContext msg) method.
1 public boolean handleRequest(MessageContext context)
2 {
3 try
4 {
5 SOAPMessageContext smc = (SOAPMessageContext)context;
6 SOAPMessage message = smc.getMessage();
7 MimeHeaders mimeHeaders = message.getMimeHeaders();
8 if(mimeHeaders.getHeader("Cookie")==null && getCookie()!=null)
9 {
10 mimeHeaders.setHeader("Cookie",getCookie());
11 }
12 }
13 catch(Exception e)
14 {
15 throw new JAXRPCException(e);
16 }
17 return true;
18 }
19 public boolean handleResponse(MessageContext context)
20 {
21 try
22 {
23 SOAPMessageContext smc = (SOAPMessageContext)context;
24 SOAPMessage message = smc.getMessage();
25 MimeHeaders mimeHeaders = message.getMimeHeaders();
26 if(mimeHeaders.getHeader("Set-Cookie")!=null && getCookie()==null)
27 {
28 String[] headerValues = mimeHeaders.getHeader("Set-Cookie");
29 String cookie = headerValues[0];
30 if(cookie.indexOf(";") >= 0)
31 {
32 cookie = cookie.substring(0,cookie.indexOf(";"));
33 }
34 setCookie(cookie);
35 }
36 }
37 catch(Exception e)
38 {
39 throw new JAXRPCException(e);
40 }
41 return true;
42 }
The overall concept is to handle the soap message before it goes back
to the server. You need to add the COOKIE header variable set to JSESSIONID=your session id
to the message header before every request goes to the server. The handleResponse looks for set-Cookie variable that comes back from the
very first request.
Hope that helps.
Mike
