Need a Tx aware datasource when using CMT with BMP entity beans?

When using Containter-Managed Transactions with entity beans that have
          bean-managed persistence, do I need to use a transaction-aware datasource?
          Thanks,
          Ken Gertsen

Hi ad13217 and thanks for reply.
I'm sorry but my code is like this:
javax.naming.Context ctx=new javax.naming.InitialContext();
arguments was an error on copy, but it doesn't work.
Thanks

Using JDO under BMP entity beans

I have an entity bean that is a BMP which uses JDO under the hood. The Oc4J document says that "Bean-managed persistence entity beans manage the resource locking within the bean implementation themselves" in the advanced subject chapter. Ok can someone in oracle add an extra line eloborating on that statement ?
I am stuck in trying to pass a test that can do concurrent modify of an entity bean. I had 2 or more threads trying to modify one single BMP entity bean object concurrently. The database vendor recognizes one bean had the lock and deny locks to any other beans. Who should block the call to the database until one thread releases the lock on the object ? The developer ? J2EE container ? Database ?
J2EE tenet "Developers are shielded from concurrency and threading issues while implementing business logic" Does that still hold ??
An object Person's salary value and his benefit information are tried to be modified at the same time by different external system(salary administrator, benefit's administrator). But I dont want the user to see the lock on the object error, but instead I require a pessimistic lock on the BMP. Why does Oc4J not support pessimistic concurrency option for BMP ?

Kurien,
If you wish to bring something to the attention of the "Oracle dev team", I suggest you try Oracle's "MetaLink" Web site:
http://metalink.oracle.com
It is the official Oracle support Web site.
These forums are for the Oracle community. Oracle Corporation employees are not obliged to even visit these forums.
By the way, I am not an Oracle employee.
Good Luck,

Need advise for best practice when using Toplink with external transaction

Hello;
Our project is trying to switch from Toplink control transaction to using External transaction so we can make database operation and JMS operation within a single transaction.
Some of our team try out the Toplink support for external transaction and come up with the following initial recommendation.
Since we are not familar with using external transaction, I would like member of this forum and experts, to help comment on whether these recommendation are indeed valid or in line with the best practice. And for folks that have done this in their project, what did you do ?
Any help will be most appreciated.
Data Access Objects must be enhanced to support reading from a TOPLink unit of work when using an external transaction controller. Developers must consider what impact a global transaction will have on the methods in their data access objects (DAOs).
The following findSomeObject method is representative of a finder in the current implementation of our DAOs. It is not especially designed to execute in the context of a global transaction, nor read from a unit of work.
public findSomeObject(ILoginUser aUser, Expression queryExpression)
ClientSession clientSession = getClientSession(aUser);
SomeObject obj = null;
try
ReadObjectQuery readObjectQuery = new ReadObjectQuery(SomeObject.class);
readObjectQuery.setSelectionCriteria(queryExpression);
obj = (SomeObject)clientSession.executeQuery(readObjectQuery);
catch (DatabaseException dbe)
// throw an appropriate exception
finally
clientSession.release();
if (obj == null)
// throw an appropriate exception
return obj;
However, after making the following changes (in blue) the findSomeObject method will now read from a unit of work while executing in the context of a global transaction.
public findSomeObject(ILoginUser aUser, Expression queryExpression)
Session session = getClientSession(aUser);
SomeObject obj = null;
try
ReadObjectQuery readObjectQuery = new ReadObjectQuery(SomeObject.class);
readObjectQuery.setSelectionCriteria(queryExpression);
if (TransactionController.getInstance().useExternalTransactionControl())
     session = session.getActiveUnitOfWork();
     readObjectQuery.conformResultsInUnitOfWork(); }
obj = (SomeObject)session.executeQuery(readObjectQuery);
catch (DatabaseException dbe)
// throw an appropriate exception
finally
if (TransactionController.getInstance().notUseExternalTransactionControl())
     session.release();
if (obj == null)
// throw an appropriate exception
return obj;
When getting the TOPLink client session and reading from the unit of work in the context of a global transaction, new objects need to be cached.
public getUnitOfWork(ILoginUser aUser)
throws DataAccessException
     ClientSession clientSession = getClientSession(aUser);
     UnitOfWork uow = null;
     if (TransactionController.getInstance().useExternalTransactionControl())
          uow = clientSession.getActiveUnitOfWork();
          uow.setShouldNewObjectsBeCached(true);     }
     else
          uow = clientSession.acquireUnitOfWork();
     return uow;
}

As it generally is with this sort of question there is no exact answer.
The only required update when working with an External Transaction is that getActiveUnitOfWork() is called instead of acquireUnitOfWork() other than that the semantics of the calls and when you use a UnitOfWork is still dependant on the requirements of your application. For instance I noticed that originally the findSomeObject method did not perform a transactional read (no UnitOfWork). Has the requirements for this method changed? If they have not then there is still no need to perform a transactional read, and the method would not need to change.
As for the requirement that new object be cached this is only required if you are not conforming the transactional queries and adds a slight performance boost for find by primary key queries. In order to use this however, objects must be assigned primary keys by the application before they are registered in the UnitOfWork.

Use direct JDBC with CMP entity bean in one transaction

I am trying to use direct JDBC call with CMP entity bean within a session
bean method that requires transaction. The problem is that it appears these
are not in the same transaction. When I use the JDBC call, the CMP entity
bean update to the DB has not been committed yet.
We are using Weblogic 5.1 SP6. The DB is Oracle.
What I do for the JDBC is get a new connection from the pool using weblogic
jdbc pool driver.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi. You can do JDBC and invoke CMP EJBs and have this all treated
as one transaction, if your hand-written code explicitly starts
a JTS transaction, then uses the jts driver or a TxDataSource to
get the JDBC connection. Then your code can call transactional
EJBs and their work will be included in the transaction you started.
Assuming the bean work went OK, and your manual JDBC went OK, you
can manually commit the UserTransaction at that time. This is 5.1
talk. For 6.0, with @PC, this may be even easier...

Is there any way to use JDBC with CMP Entity bean in the same transaction?

Are you calling all the CMP create in the session Bean ? If so, beforeyou
make the JDBC call from the session bean, the CMP in 2. should commit. Try
to set its attribute to TX_REQUIRES_NEW. This way, the calling client will
block until this transaction is done (committed) before the execution
continues. There might be some overhead involved in doing so if you are
anticipating a lot of users.

What I am trying to do is:
In a Session bean method -
1. create a new CMP entity bean (a new row in DB table)
2. create another new CMP entity bean that uses previous bean as foreignkey
3. use JDBC to update the row just created
And all these 3 calls have to be in one transaction.
Thanks,
Patrick

Can you give a little bit more information?
Do you have methods in your session bean that creates this CMP entitybeans?
It looks like
you might wanna try to change the isolation level to
TRANSACTION_READ_COMITTED
to preven dirty_read.

How do you stop needing to verify email password when using yahoo.att with Mac Mail

How do you stop needing to verify email password when using yahoo.att with Mac Mail?

Nevermind, I fixed it (I think). I went into Settings | Accounts & Sync and found Yahoo at the bottom of the list (alphabetically). I selected it and it had an optiion to delete the account, which I did.

Best practice when using Tangosol with an app server

Hi,
I'm wondering what is the best practice when using Tangosol with an app server (Websphere 6.1 in this case). I've been able to set it up using the resource adapter, tried using distributed transactions and it appears to work as expected - I've also been able to see cache data from another app server instance.
However, it appears that cache data vanishes after a while. I've not yet been able to put my finger on when, but garbage collection is a possibility I've come to suspect.
Data in the cache survives the removal of the EJB, but somewhere later down the line it appear to vanish. I'm not aware of any expiry settings for the cache that would explain this (to the best of my understanding the default is "no expiry"), so GC came to mind. Would this be the explanation?
If that would be the explanation, what would be a better way to keep the cache from being subject to GC - to have a "startup class" in the app server that holds on to the cache object, or would there be other ways? Currently the EJB calls getCacheAdapter, so I guess Bad Things may happen when the EJB is removed...
Best regards,

Hi Gene,
I found the configuration file embedded in coherence.jar. Am I supposed to replace it and re-package coherence.jar?
If I put it elsewhere (in the "classpath") - is there a way I can be sure that it has been found by Coherence (like a message in the standard output stream)? My experience with Websphere is that "classpath" is a rather ...vague concept, we use the J2CA adapter which most probably has a different class loader than the EAR that contains the EJB, and I would rather avoid to do a lot of trial/error corrections to a file just to find that it's not actually been used.
Anyway, at this stage my tests are still focused on distributed transactions/2PC/commit/rollback/recovery, and we're nowhere near 10,000 objects. As a matter of fact, we haven't had more than 1024 objects in these app servers. In the typical scenario where I've seen objects "fade away", there has been only one or two objects in the test data. And they both disappear...
Still confused,

Display "blank-out" when using Maya with a GF 7800?

I have a problem where my LCD display occasionally blinks off for about 5-10 seconds when using Maya with a scene displaying about 100,000 polys. Has anyone else encountered this? This only seems to happen when I am quickly rotating the camera in a grey shaded perspective panel?
My LCD is a Dell 20" LCD (set at 1600x1200) connected to a Geforce 7800 in a Quad G5 with 4.5GB of ram.
I have never seen this issue before in Maya (I have been using Maya for years, on other machines), so I suspect it is hardware or driver related?

OK, have completed several tests. I definately seems that the my Geforce 7800 has problems when running some applications. I wonder if anyone else has encountered this problem?
The easiest way to cause the display to momentarily shut off is to use Maya in the full screen perspective camera window in shaded mode. Proceed to rapidly move a 20,000 poly model (or greater) both zooming and rotating (the polys need to fill the entire screen and shake the mouse).My display (Dell 20" 2001fp) will blink-off for a few seconds. Of course, this in not "normal" work flow, but I have this issue happening when working normally, it can sometimes take time to occur.
I have tried the Geforce 6600 (256mb ver) and this does not occur with that video card. I have tried several mice both wired and wireless, plus changed the Energy Saver options for Processor performance (from comments I read on Macintouch.com). The problem is consistent to my Geforce 7800. This problem will also occur in Photoshop CS, by moving images and resizing, but I found it much harder to induce.

When using pdfFactory with Firefox, why are the colors on the pdf not correct?

The colors are vastly different when using pdf Factory with Firefox. When using pdfFactory with IE, they are both the same.

There doesn't seem to be a one-size-fits-all answer, because what works for one printer doesn't necessarily work for another, and I don't have your printer so I can't advise on specifics...
However, perhaps we can discover a set of settings that will work...
If you File - Print, choose Photoshop Manages Colors, in the Printer Profile section do you see profiles specific to your printer (e.g., with the name Kodak in them)?
If so, choose one of them that seems appropriate given the paper you're using.
If not, try choosing sRGB IEC61966-2.1.
Now, before you continue, press the [Print Settings...] button. This brings up the printer driver dialog. You may have to go through [Advanced] buttons or whatever, but what you're looking to do here is to disable the printer driver's color management logic. In other words, if you can find a color-management / ICC profile handling section, set it to "no color management" or equivalent. OK back out to Photoshop's print dialog, then press [Print].
The key here is that if Photoshop manages the color transforms, the printer driver should not be set to do so - or vice versa.
If you're presented with the printer driver's dialog again, double check that the settings you chose above are still set, for good measure, and try a test print.

Is it possible that GMail only allows access to untagged emails via POP3? Or only to emails from the last x days?
POP3 is the older email retrieval protocol (IMAP4 is the more current one) and only has very limited support for folders (or anything but a single inbox, really). It's quite common that POP3 only allows access to a subset of all emails stored by a provider.

How to store a layout, when using CL_SALV_TREE with a container?

Hello,
I'd like to use an object of type CL_SALV_TREE, that is placed on a custom container (and therefore not displayed in fullscreen).
But how do I get the functionality to store a layout, when using CL_SALV_TREE not in fullscreen mode? If you use it in fullscreen mode, you just have to define the function code in your gui status and everything is ok.
But since I want to place my CL_SALV_TREE on a custom container, that method does not work. If I call <my_salv_tree>->get_functions( ) it returns a table, that holds just six entries. So, the appropiate function for storing a layout does not seem to be in the default set of functions, when using CL_SALV_TREE with a custom container. But how do I activate this function?
I already call the functions get_layout() and set_key() - so that shouldn't be the problem. Or is just not possible to use CL_SALV_TREE on a custom container and have the possibility to store layouts?
Kind regards, Lars

I have done this for several Titles, using Photoshop and a Layer Mask, that gets "erased," revealing the letters. My Titles were of "handwriting with chalk" on a blackboard, so I could keep the edge of that Layer Mask, looking more like the "chalk." Photoshop also makes it easy to output Layer Comps for each "step" in the handwriting process. IIRC, I did about 5 Frames per Layer Comp on Import, but do not recall if I used an extremely short Cross-Dissolve Transition between those - I intened to do so, but just do not remember if I liked that, or went with just the Still Images? Will try to find that animation, and maybe create a full tutorial of the process. In my case, I also added an SFX of chalk on a chalkboard.
If you have Photoshop, it's really quite easy to pull off.
Now, I do not know if Photoshop Elements has Layer Masks yet, which make it so very easy to accomplish. One could do it backward, where the Text Layer gets Erased, and then one would have their full Image as the last in the sequence, and then the next would have a little bit of the Text removed, then a bit more, then a bit more - going backward, until the "writing surface" is clean. One could also do this with a Transparent Background, so that one saw the Video below, and no actual "writing surface" visible.
Good luck,

Using Composite keys in Entity Beans

Hi, I am trying to develop a test application with two entity beans, (1) OrderBean (key is a string called order_no) and (2) LineBean (key is order_no and an integer line_no) using CMP 2.0. Relationship between OrderBean to LineBean is 1 to many. I created a primary key class for LineBean called, LinePK with both order_no and line_no as the public members. My home interface for LineBean has the following three finder methods:
public java.lang.Object findByPrimaryKey(LinePK lkey);
public Collection findByOrder(String order_no);
public Collection findByProduct(String product_id);
I could provide sql for the OrderBean which has only one field(order_no) as primary key, but I don't know how to code appropriate SQL for the finder methods of LineBean involving a user defined primary key class (in my case LinePK with order_no and line_no). I am trying to deploy this application in J2EE RI server, but getting deployment errors saying invalid return types for the finder methods. In the deploytool I provided the primary key class for LineBean as java.lang.Object with no primary key field name. Any help in this matter with sample sql code is greatly appreciated. Thanks !!!

Some things to consider:
- Your findByPrimaryKey in the Remote interface needs to have the remote interface as return type
- The implementation of the finder needs to have your primary key class as return type
- If you're using CMP 2.0, you need to specify the search criteria as EJB QL
Using CMP 2.0, you don't code findByPrimaryKey at all, all you need is the EJB QL for findByOrder/findByProduct in the deployment descriptor. The EJB QL for findByOrder would look like:
select Object o from Line where o.order_no = ?1If you use BMP, you would code the findByPrimaryKey implementation like this:
public LinePK ejbFindByPrimaryKey(LinePK pk) throws FinderException {
String sql = "select order_no from line_table where line_no=? and order_no=?";
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
Object obj = ic.lookup("datasourcename");
DataSource ds = (DataSource)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(obj, DataSource.class);
Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
try {
    PreparedStatement stmt = conn.prepareStatement(sql);
    try {
      stmt.setInteger(1, pk.line_no);
      stmt.setInteger(2, pk.order_no);
      ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery();
      if (!rs.next())
        throw new ObjectNotFoundException("not found: " + order_no + "." + line_no);
      return pk;
    finally {
      stmt.close();
finally {
    conn.close();
