There is a book specificallly targeted at those questions of "how do a learn JDeveloper" and "how do a learn ADF" - especially if you are a newbie.
The Quick Start Guide to Fusion Development Oracle JDeveloper and Oracle ADF aims to get you up and running with ADF applications in as short a time as possible.

p.s. as the author, you might expect slight bias in recommending this book ;o) , but the reviews (from some well known names on the forums) have been positive as well.

Need order form guidance / tutorial

I have been creating various php pages to submit detail to my
database but I have come up against something that is more
complicated.
I would like to do more with a file orderform.php that is
processed by and displays on processorder.php.
When the user clicks “Submit” I would like to
have processorder.php process payment, send both the customer and
me an e-mail confirming the order and insert the contents of the
order into a database.
Can I write processorder.php to do the above or do I have to
recreate the order form with dynamic content? If so, can anyone
suggest a tutorial (for a relative newbie) on creating such a form?
Thanks

Basic Template tutorial

Suggestions for an easy to use basic template tutorial?
1) Specifically I want to create a template with a navbar
similar to this one:
www.mulberrywood.com
2) Without the center text and images
3) And with the bottom text links to other pages.
For some reason when I manually copy the text links at the
bottom of the page they never link correctly... I have to use the
link box at the bottom of the page to erase the link and then paste
in the link and then they always work...

> I am seeking a very easy to follow tutorial (preferably
with step by step

others) myself.
Did you read the tutorial at the dw template tutorial link I
supplied?

I'm not exactly sure you are having the copy and paste
problem, but I would
assume it's because the links aren't being recognised
correctly.
Ok, I'll give you the steps to take to create a template from
that mulberry
page.
Make sure the page you want to create a template from is
correctly coded,
the links are correct, the links to graphics are correct
extra.
1.Open the site you want to work on. ( you need to be working
in a defined
DW site for templates to be created correctly
2.Open the index page (which is the one I presume you want to
create into a
template).
3.Leave everything as it is.
4. Go to FILE>SAVE AS TEMPLATE
5. You will get a dialogue box..
with the Site box already filled in (should be the name of
you defined site)
Save As: give your template a name (eg: mainpage)
Save
6. You will be asked to update links. Say yes
7. You now need to create an editable region (this is the
area that you
will be changing on every page).
8. Highlight the center table in your content area
9. Go to : INSERT>TEMPLATE OBJECTS> select Editable
Region
10. Dialogue box: Name: maincontent (or whatever you want to
call this
editable region)
11. Click OK
12. You have now created a template.
the code around your table should now look like this:

<table> bla bla bla </table>

13. Now if you want to create a 'child page' from this
template go to:
FILE>NEW> and select the TEMPLATES tab
You should now see the name of the template you create.
13. Select the template and a page will now be created for
you.
You should now see a page exactly the same as your index page
(if that is
what you used to create the template), except that you can't
change anything
in any area apart from that middle table.
14. You now need to save this page.
SAVE AS: services.html (or whatever).
Make sure you save the file to the root of your folder (where
all your other
files are kept, DO NOT save into the template folder) You are
not to have
anything in the Templates folder apart from the dwt file.
15. Your bottom links in your template file (dwt) will look
something like
this:
a href="../howtofoldpocketsquares/pocketsquarefolds.htm"
This is because once the template is created, the link needs
to point to the
root of your site.
When you look at the same link in the child page you created
it will look
like this:
a href="howtofoldpocketsquares/pocketsquarefolds.htm"
That's about it. You cannot however, apply this template to
your other
pages. You can, however, it may be difficult for a novice to
accomplish
until they understand how templates work.
If you managae to create the template, you will have to
create a child page
and then copy and paste the contents from your other pages
into that
maincontent editable region you create.
Another thing to remember is that in your template, make sure
when / if you
add links to make them Relative to: document. This way, your
linking should
always be correct.
For when you want to create a new template at any other time
(not with this
site), the steps are pretty similar. Create your page, save
as template,
add any editable regions you need and follow the steps from
there.
PS: I did notice in your code, that you are using <th>
in your tables
instead of <tr>
<th> is really used for headings, you should be using
<tr> table rows.
When you insert a table, there should be a dialogue box,
where you need to
DESELECT header rows.
Anything that gets put into a <th> gets a bold
formatting, which is not what
you really want when you create a table correctly.
This table tutorial may also be of some help to you:
http://www.dwfaq.com/Tutorials/Tables/flexible_tables.asp
Phew !! I think that's about it and I hope this helps, at
least a bit ;-)

Encountering Problems with Basic Sound Tutorial

Hello everyone,
I am encountering problems with a basic sound tutorial. I am absolutely confused as to what the problem may be because the code is so simple, and is essentially copied from the textbook. I am convinced that I have done something very silly but cannot see it.
I have attempted to run this in an appletviewer, Firefox and Internet Explorer. I have attempted to launch it from both a .class file and a .jar file. I have uninstalled and offline installed the JDK and JRE and successfully tested the new installations.
The audio file I am attempting to load and play is an .AU (Sun/Next 8-bit u-law) audio file I created in Audacity. It is located in the same folder as the AudioApplet.class file.
My sound system is defintely on, since I have listened to music all day. I have attempted running the program with Media Player closed.
package edu.myuniversityid.sandbox;
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.applet.AudioClip;
* @author Ibuki
public class AudioApplet extends Applet
     * Initialization method that will be called after the applet is loaded
     * into the browser.
    public void init()
        super.init();
        AudioClip ac = this.getAudioClip(this.getDocumentBase(), "sample.au");
        ac.play();
}The code compiles fine, however absolutely I get a small white window when it is run. No sound.
Thankyou for your time.
Regards,
Ibuki.
PS. I am sure this worked before the university forced me to update my version of Windows to SP2. Hence, the reason for reinstalling Java. Twice.
Edited by: Ibuki on Jan 31, 2008 11:09 AM becasuse: Added a PS.

I have attempted this alternative, without success:
    public void init()
        try
            super.init();
            URL url = new URL(this.getDocumentBase(), "sample.au");
            AudioClip ac = this.getAudioClip(url);
            ac.play();
        catch (MalformedURLException ex)
            Logger.getLogger(AudioApplet.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    }The sample.au is definetly in the correct directory. Both File Explorer and NetBeans confirm this.
Edited by: Ibuki on Jan 31, 2008 11:59 AM
I have discovered a temporary solution that works in the applet viewer. The applet will load and plays the correct music perfectly. However, using this code it is not working when I try to deploy it using a web browser (MSIE and FF)!
public void init()
        super.init();
        AudioClip ac = this.getAudioClip(this.getClass().getResource("sample.au"));
        ac.play();
Edited by: Ibuki on Jan 31, 2008 12:12 PM
Eureka!
Having worked in the applet viewer I managed to get it working in the web browser by simply packaging my SoundApplet.class and sample.au into a .jar archive.
<html>
     <body>
          <applet code="edu.myuniversityid.sandbox.AudioApplet.class" archive="dist/AudioApplet.jar">Unfortunately, this applet content cannot be displayed on this web page because your current browser does not support Java SE 6! Please <a href="http://www.java.com/">update your version of Java</a>.</applet>
     </body>
</html>
public void init()
        super.init();
        AudioClip ac = this.getAudioClip(this.getClass().getResource("sample.au"));
        ac.play();
    }Thankyou everyone.

Creating Oracle ADF uix Pages Tutorial

In going through the "Creating Oracle ADF UIX Pages" Tutorial
Step 5:Adding a Table - I'm running into problems:
- In item 2, I can not find Provider in Design Structure window (I find it in XML Structure Window)
- In item 3, I can not find datacomponent in General Component Palette
- In item 5 I can not find inline component in General Component Palette
Does this tutorial work or am I missing something?

I'm having the same problem. I looked over the recommended tutorial and it didn't cover how to mock up data in xml for prototyping. I think this tutorial is for JDeveloper 9i and not 10g. How is this done in JDev 10g?
I entered this from the xml editor: I also tried:
without a data tag
with a data tag and with an inline tag
with an inline tag
nothing seems to work...
<provider>

<data>
<book cover=""
title=""
author=""
price=""/>
</data>
</provider>
I get this message when I switch to design mode:
The document is not in a valid state. Please edit this file in the code editor to resolve syntax problems and then return to the visual editor.
It doesn't like the xml code. Any ideas in how to do this? I would like to prototype an applications without connecting to real data sources...
Thanks in advance

I need sample basic data file containing Product,Market,Measures etc

I need sample basic data file containing Product,Market,Measures etc to load data in to Sample Basic applications. Where can I get this?

As I am the World Domain Lead for Sample.Basic (this is a joke, btw, it's sort of like being King of my front stoop, and besides, I just made it up) I will note two things about CALCDAT.TXT.
1) It is not in columnar format, but instead in Essbase free-form data load format as user2571802 notes. This means if you take a look at it with a text editor, it's a bit confusing to read till you realize that it contains all dimensional information in the data file itself. See the DBAG's section on [Data Sources That Do Not Need A Rules File|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_dbag/ddlintro.htm#ddlintro1029529].
2) CALCDAT.TXT contains level 0 and calculated results. Just load it -- there's no need to calculate it.

Need for basic training on UCM.

Am new to Content management, and need of basic understanding on UCM.
- Creating and deploying the web site.
- Setting up various workflows and Templates.
Kindly let me know any Free lancer can help me here.

Hi Sivakumar,
Welcome to the wonderful world of Oracle UCM. It really is one of the best ECM products around.
There are a number of organizations who provide training and Oracle is one of the best though they can be pricey.
There are some self-study books that are must-have's if you're getting into this realm:
1) The Definitive Guide to Stellent Content Server Development by Brian Huff is a bit dated but a solid development reference text.
http://www.amazon.com/Definitive-Stellent-Content-Development-ebook/dp/B001D0JOTE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=digital-text&qid=1269298304&sr=8-2
2) Transforming Infoglut by Brian Huff and Andy MacMillan is a good strategy and architecture primer for you that is more up to date but not as much a developer reference.
http://www.amazon.com/Transforming-Infoglut-Pragmatic-Enterprise-Management/dp/0071602364/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1269298304&sr=8-1
Of course we're happy to help with any project or software work that you might have as well.
Best of luck

Need very basic tutorial on transparency

A bit of a novice on the topic of transparency so could use a
link to a basic tutorial. Specifically, I'm working on a Fireworks
graphic that will eventually end up on a site. The content is a
table with text. The color of the content is white and the
background on the site is black. I intend the background on the
image to be transparent.
When converting the png file to a gif I have played with the
options including index and alpha transparency and noticed the
matte feature.
This is the area of tutoring I could use (i.e. getting a
crisper transition between the image and the background). I'm also
curious how the anti-aliasing settings in FW relate.
Thanks
Tom

The matte feature is precisely what gets the crisper
transition. With a GIF,
it's absolutely imperative. See some examples here:

System Backup: Need basic guidance

I just got my first external hard drive (500GB Seagate FreeAgent)and really need guidance from scratch.
I need to back up not only my computer but most importantly, photos and home movies.
1. Do I need to format the external hard drive?
2. How do I backup everything?
3. Is there a way for the computer to automatically do this with Mac OS 10.4.11?
4. Do I need to partition for any particular reason if saving photos & movies are my priority?
Thanks!

Yes, you need to prepare the drive:
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the drop down menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Conducting backups relies on using backup software such as:
Backup Software Recommendations
1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial)
2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
5. Carbon Copy Cloner (Donationware)
6. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
7. Intego Personal Backup (Commercial)
8. Data Backup (Commercial)
9. SilverKeeper 2.0 (Freeware)
10. MimMac (Commercial)
11. Tri-Backup (Commercial)
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files.
You can also simply clone your startup drive to your external drive using the Restore option of Disk Utility:
How to Clone Using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (journaled, if available) and click on the Erase button. This step can be skipped if the destination has already been freshly erased.
4. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the backup drive.
Source means the startup drive.
Backup drives should be kept separate from data storage drives. If it's you intent to use this drive for both then you should partition the drive. However, backup should be your priority. If yo save files and have no backup, then when those files are lost, erased, or damaged they are gone for good. Keeping backup drives separate from storage drives also protects against drive failure.

Need very basic tutorial for actionscript3 and Flash Builder?

I need help with this tutorial from the Adobe website

I'm almost done with my flash game which I created with flash pro cc. And i have been looking for tutorials to integrate my game to the Facebook and this is the only one I found. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/games/articles/getting-started-with-facebooksdk-actionscript3. html
Am I on the right track?? The editor uses Flash Builder but I'm using Flash Pro cc.
--- On Step 2: "Set up a development server for the Flash app",
Sub-step #2. "To simplify the development process, configure Flash Builder to compile into your htdocs/fbdemo folder and run (or debug) the app on your server (see Figure 2)."
1) But I can't find "ActionScript Build Path"(which is highlighted on the Figure 2 screenshot) or anything like that in Flash pro. Same for the "Output folder URL".
Can I actually do the same things with Flash Pro cc?? Also #3 is "Verify that your app runs from your server." How do you run your app from your server??
---- On Step 4: "Initialize the Facebook JS SDK",
2) so if I setup a server on a localhost just like the tutorial, I don't need to change the following? This is on line #6.
channelUrl : 'www.YOUR_DOMAIN.COM/channel.html'
can i just leave it like that ?
3) So if I complete the tutorial, can facebook users play my game? or do i have more things to do?
4) is there any other tutorial for Flash Pro CC to Facebook integration???
Thank you so much for your help and time.

this is an excerpt from http://www.amazon.com/Flash-Game-Development-Social-Mobile/dp/1435460200/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF 8&qid=1388031189&sr=8-1&keywords=gladstien
The simplest way to hook into Facebook is to add their Plugins to add a Like button, Send button, Login button etc to your game. If you only want to add a Like button to a page on your website, you can use the following iframe tag anywhere (between the body tags) in your html document where you want the Facebook Like button to appear:

Where the href attribute is equal to the absolute URL to your html file. For example:
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=kglad.com/Files/fb/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; width:500px; height:25px"></iframe>
points to index.html in kglad/com/Files/fb.
However, to get the most out of Facebook you will need to use JavaScript or the Facebook ActionScript API and register your game on the Facebook Developer App page. Before you can register your game with Facebook, you will need to be registered with Facebook and you will need to Login.
Once you are logged-in, you can go to https://developers.facebook.com/apps and click Create New App to register your game with Facebook. (See Fig11-01.)
***Insert Fig11-01.tif***
[Facebook's Create New App form.]
Enter your App Name (the name of your game) and click continue. Complete the Security Check (see Fig11-02) and click Submit. You should see the App Dashboard where you enter details about your game. (See Fig11-03.)
***Insert Fig11-02.tif***
[Security Check form.]
***Insert Fig11-03.tif***
[App Dashboard with Basic Settings selected.]
If you mouse over a question mark, you will see an explanation of what is required to complete this form. Enter a Namespace, from the Category selection pick Games, and then select a sub-category.
Your game can integrate with Facebook several ways and they are listed above the Save Changes button. You can select more than one but for now only select Website with Facebook Login and App on Facebook, enter the fully qualified URL to your game and click Save Changes. (See Fig11-04.)
***Insert Fig11-04.tif***
[Facebook integration menu expanded.]
You can return to https://developers.facebook.com/apps any time and edit your entries. Your game(s) will be listed on the left and you can use the Edit App button to make changes and the Create New App button to add another game.
Click on the App Center link on the left. (See Fig11-05a and Fig11-05b.) Fill in everything that is not optional and upload all the required images. Again, if you mouse over the question marks you will see requirement details including exact image sizes for the icons, banners and screenshots.
***Insert Fig11-05a.tif***
[Top half of the App Center form.]
***Insert Fig11-05b.tif***
[Bottom half of the App Center form.]
When you are finished click Save Changes and Submit App Detail Page. You should then see Additional Notes and Terms. (See Fig11-06.)
***Insert Fig11-06.tif***
[Additional Notes and Terms.]
Tick the checkboxes and click Review Submission. If everything looks acceptable, click Submit. You should then see something like Fig11-07.
***Insert Fig11-07.tif***
[After agreeing with Facebook's terms, you should be directed back to App Center and see this modal window.]
You are now ready to integrate your game with Facebook's API. Because there is a Facebook ActionScript API that communicates with Facebook's API, you need not work directly with the Facebook API.
But before I cover Adobe's Facebook ActionScript API, I am going to cover how you can use the Facebook JavaScript API directly. There no reason to actually do that while the Facebook ActionScript API still works but by the time you read this, the Facebook ActionScript API may no longer work.
In addition, this section shows the basics needed to use any JavaScript API so it applies to any social network that has a JavaScript API including the next "hot" social network that will arise in the future.
