Need help - session and lost attribute...

Hi,
We store some attributes in the session. In the web.xml we have session-timeout 20. (it's in minutes). If user use IE 5.5, and is inactive more than 1 minute, and then he send new request from browser (IE 5.5 or 5.0) to application running under oc4j, our attributes is null. (Because, and I don't know why, new session is created)
In the IE 6.0, Mozila, Netscape it takes 20 minutes - it's exactly what we want.
Also we try applying SP2, patches on the IE 5.5. and nothing change.
thaks for any advice
zajo

Another info,
It's happening only in a https protocol (SSL),users which have W98 and IE 5.x, 6,x.

  • I need help setting Win7 Advanced attributes for the USB drive connected to my EA4500 router

    I can drill down to the Permission Entry for [foldername] window for a folder on the USB drive. There I learn that user group Everyone does not have the Full Control permission box checked. When I check the box and then click Apply, I get an Error Applying Security window. If I click Continue there, I get a Windows Security window that says "Unable to save permission changes on [foldername]. Access is denied." with no way out but an OK button.
    I have Administrative authority in Win7, but maybe I need to know some Unix voodoo to come to terms with my router-mounted drive. I put the drive on the router to make always available, and I'd like to get it to work. For example, I can't turn the archive bit off for any file or folder on that drive when it's mounted on the router. Not with ATTRIB -A and not with XCOPY /M.
    Just to stuff it in my face, XCOPY /M returns a two-line error message for every sub-folder that exists in the target folder:
    Access denied
    Unable to create directory - foldername
    Help! And thanks in advance.

    Solved!

    Bill Dennes,
    (Solutions/Work-Arounds below this paragraph, but sets up some useful information.)
    As for the Security tab, I'm unsure of exactly why it doesn't appear on the tab itself for folders; however, clicking "Advanced -> Change Permissions -> Edit" will display the permissions; although, this doesn't appear to be a part of the problem in a sense. Additionally, “Everyone” always only has read & execute and is also not a part of the issue. To go further with this, the only users that have delete permission are “0” and “root” and since we can delete, we “should” be logged in as one of them and as such have “Full Control.”
    As for the drive type, I'm unsure of why it "changes" it from FAT32 to NTFS (probably something to do with how it handles permissions); however, this is also not a part of the issue.
    I have a flash drive formatted to FAT32, albeit only a 4GB and on an EA6500 with secure sharing enabled, that it does these both to and "xcopy testfolder Y:\ /e /m" works on it when all files and folders have the A attribute; however, disabling secure sharing makes it fail.
    I’ve looked further into this and there are three ways I know of, as of right now, to make copying files with the bat file work for you:
    The first way is to enable secure sharing and map the drives using it, once that is done you won’t need to enter the password again and your script will work as you currently have it coded. Given you have no need for the secure sharing, but it’s a simple solution. This is also the only way to be able to modify any attributes, although the only ones I know of that it will accept are R and A.
    The second way is to instead use ROBOCOPY with the options /e, /m, and /copy:dt.
    For example: "robocopy testfolder Y:\ /e /m /copy:dt"
    /e = Copy subdirectories, including empty ones. (or use /S which will not copy empty folders)
    /m = Copy only files with the Archive attribute and reset it.
    /copy:dt = Copy data and timestamps, does not copy attributes, security, owner info, or auditing info.
    The only important option to use is /copy:dt, the others can be replaced with whatever you need. Note that things like Song Author will still get copied as they are a part of the data section. I don’t believe XCOPY supports doing this, and in either case robocopy is a better solution that comes with Windows Vista and up, and can be gotten for those below Vista.
    The third way is to add a section to the script to remove attributes from all folders before using xcopy to copy to the NAS, or modify the section that is causing the folders to have the A attribute as xcopy will gladly still copy them with /E or /S enabled.
    The issue seems to be that when secure sharing is off, the server refuses attribute changing of folders, which is what is causing XCOPY to fail, as I suspect it attempts to change the attributes on the folders. Similarly, using robocopy without /copy:dt will also fail but gives you “Error 5 … changing file attributes [folder/path] Access is denied”. This is why I suspect that when XCOPY says “unable to create directory” that it is actually trying to change the attributes of the directory. Furthermore, it seems that the reason this works while secure sharing is on is that while it is on, the server pretends to accept the attributes but in reality ignores all attributes besides R. The server then adds the A attribute to all files put onto it, which you can only modify when secure sharing is enabled for some reason. The exception to this is that in either case, any file with the “H” (hidden) attribute, will not be copied, even if explicitly told to copy it. (This is true for both robocopy and xcopy; you also cannot manually add it afterwards.)
    Is there an issue with the files on the NAS having the A attribute? If so the only way I currently know of to get rid of it is to enable secure sharing and have the script remove the attribute after copying. For example, when you look at the permissions, the user "0" and “root” have full control as I've previously stated. You can tell Windows to specifically use one of them when mapping the drive, which in turn should give you full control; however, the server still refuses modifying attributes without secure sharing on for some strange unknown reason. Although, I am no "UNIX gearhead," so there may in fact be another way that I do not know of. The only time they are not listed as “Full Control” on my end is when a file was previously marked Read-Only, in which case they all share the same limited control. When I said in the beginning that the permissions are not a part of the problem in a sense, it’s more of that for the general case of what you need to do, they aren’t the problem as long as you don't need the R attribute and having the A isn't an issue, as it seems to be more of the server is refusing attributes even though we should have permission; however, they do appear to be a bit weird and are possibly displaying incorrect when secure sharing is disabled.
    I'd like to apologize in advance for any unclear, weirdly stated, or just plain odd things said in this post as I was pulled away to do a bunch of things and ended up editing, adding things, and finishing it late into the night and hope that one of the above is an acceptable resolution to your issue.

  • Lifespan of Request, Session and Context Attributes

    I'm studying for the SCWCD exam and am hoping to clarify a few points on the lifespan of attribute objects bound to the various request, session and context web scopes.
    Do request attributes persist as long as the request is being handled by some servlet? In other words, once the response is committed are those objects unbound and destroyed?
    Similarly, I'm assuming session attributes are unbound and destroyed when the session either times out or is explicitly terminated.
    Lastly, for context attributes, which are available to the entire web application, are these simply available
    until explicitly removed?
    Thanks.

    Request: available until the HttpServletRequest object goes out of scope (at the end of the doService or associated methods). The attributes here are basically just stored in a HashMap in that object
    Session: available until the session no longer exists, which occurs when the session times out (NOT when the user closes their browser), or when the session is terminated by the server code
    Context: Available until the container stops, such as upon a JVM restart
    NOTE: Specific objects in all three contexts can be removed and added at any time by the server code

  • Need help calling and looping custom classes

    Hi, I am writing a code with custom classes in it and another program that calls upon all of the classes in the first program. I can get the second one (L6) to call upon and execute all of the classes of the first (Foreign). However, I need the second one to loop until quit is selected from the menu on Foreign and I can't seem to figure out how to do it. Here are the codes:
    L6:
    public class lab6
    public static void main(String[] args)
    Foreign camount = new Foreign();
    camount = new Foreign();
    camount.get();
    camount.print();
    camount.intake();
    camount.convert();
    camount.vertprint();
    System.out.println(camount);
    Foreign:
    import java.util.Scanner;
    public class Foreign
    private String country;
    private int choice;
    private float dollars;
    private float conversionValue;
    private float conversionAmount;
    public Foreign()
    country = "null";
    choice = 0;
    dollars = 0;
    conversionValue = 0;
    conversionAmount = 0;
    public void get()
         Scanner Keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
              System.out.println("Foreign Exchange\n\n");
    System.out.println("1 = U.S. to Canada");
    System.out.println("2 = U.S. to Mexico");
    System.out.println("3 = U.S. to Japan");
    System.out.println("4 = U.S. to Euro");
    System.out.println("0 = Quit");
    System.out.print("\nEnter your choice: ");
    choice = Keyboard.nextInt();
    public void print()
    System.out.print("\nYou chose " + choice);
    public void intake()
         Scanner Keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
              if (choice >= 1 && choice <= 4)
    switch (choice)
              case 1: System.out.println("\nU.S. to Canada");
                        conversionValue = 1.1225f;
                        country = ("Canadian Dollars");
                        break;
              case 2: System.out.println("\nU.S. to Mexico");
                        conversionValue = 10.9685f;
                        country = ("Mexican Pesos");
    break;
              case 3: System.out.println("\nU.S. to Japan");
                        conversionValue = 118.47f;

              dollars = Keyboard.nextFloat();
    public void convert()
    conversionAmount = conversionValue * dollars;
    public void vertprint()
    System.out.println("\nCountry = " + country);
    System.out.println("Rate = " + conversionValue);
    System.out.println("Dollars = " + dollars);
    System.out.println("Value = " + conversionAmount);
    public String toString()
    String line;
    line = "\n" + country + " " + conversionValue + " " + dollars + " " + conversionAmount;
    return line;
    I appreciate any help anyone can give me. This is driving me crazy. Thanks.

    1. first you need to write method to get choice value from Foreign class.
    simply add this method.
       public class Foreign {
          // ... Add this
          public int getChoice() {
             return choice;
       }2. Then in your main, you can obtain with previos method.
    public static void main(String[] args) {
       Foreign camount = new Foreign();
       // remove this. you alredy create an instance in last statement.
       //camount = new Foreign();
       int choice = 0;
       do {
          camount.get();
          choice = camount.getChoice();
          // your process...
       } while (choice != 0);
    }

  • Trying to inistall itunes keep getting error code 2330 need help unistalling and reinstalling

    Im trying to install itunes but keep getting an error message. (The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package, this may indicate a problem with this package. Error code 2330
    I need some resolution please assist. I did call microsft but they want to charge just to get help.  I need assistance please.
    Thank  you

    Although it's a better bet with a 2330 than a 2349, I'd try running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive. 
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Total newbie needs help installing and setting up Solaris 10 as a server

    i'm attempting to set up one computer to act as a file and print server on my home network, so that i can store all of my music and video files on it instead and print to my parallel-only laser printer. 80% of the time i'm using my laptop, so i need the mass storage and printer to be handled by another device - the server!
    i'm not sure if i'm even installing Solaris 10 correctly. how should it be installed to then act as a server? my two (incredibly long, like 3+ hours each) install attempts so far have resulted in an OS that looks like a nice fancy GUI-laden desktop which doesn't appear to show me my 750G SATA storage drive (the OS is on a 40G IDE drive).
    in the end, i'd like to have the system working so that my only interaction with it is the power button - press it once to power it on and it'll boot up and long in automagically and make itself seen over the network (with printer and files stored on drives accessible to my laptop or any other PC that's on the same network), and then press the power button again to shut down the entire system gracefully (so far, when i press the power button, it's a quick kill like pulling the power cord - i'm pretty sure that's a bad way of having the system shut down, so how do i change it?)
    i'm really hoping to use Solaris due to the promising ZFS scheme. my only exposure so far to unix / linux has been with ubuntu, which i usually like but sometimes loathe (primarily file permissions and network manager).

    Let's try step by step rather than asking for setting up a server as a while and I'll try to help you as much as I can.
    For setting up a printer, it's not that easy or quick setting up a printer on Solaris, I mean it's not like plug-n-play. Tell us about your printer and how it's connected to your system (usb, ethernet, parallel, serial).
    As for shutting down the system, it's recommended to use the shutdown commnad like this:
    # shutdown -y -i0 -g0
    --gibb

    hi , there is no big deal in JSPs, Servlets, EJBs e.t.c its olnly a matter of committing time and getting urself familar and in areas where you have problems this forum is a nice place for you to share all what u have.
    to start with i will give you some sites where you can start learning jsps, servlets, ejbs and the rest.

  • I need help with and Error PLEASE!!

    Everytime i try to upgarde my itunes 6 to itunes 7 i get and Error Drive E:/ message and then i get a message saying The installer encountered errors before Itunes could be configured.
    WHAT DO I DO? I NEED SERIOUS HELP HERE!

    After installing iTunes 7, it tried to update my daughter's 20G wheel iPod but failed crashing the iPod. After the crash, my daughter got a 1418 error reporting the iPod could not be restored. An iPod salesman sold her a new iPod – blaming her for screwing up her iPod, so much for sales “experts.”
    Her iPod problem was merely caused by upgrading to Apple’s iTunes to version 7 with its dysfunctional built-in updater (OS = Windows XP), not by anything to do with the iPod hardware.
    The fix was to uninstall the iPod in Windows/Device Manager/disk Drives and rename the c:\program files\ipod\bin\ipodservice.resources folder – thereby disabling it - uninstall iTunes v. 7, reboot and install the last iPod updater, dated 6/2006. Then restore the iPod (wiping out everything) using the 6/2006 updater. Next, reinstall iTunes ver7.1, which will report all is well with the restored iPod. (Or, buy another iPod).
    Also, if the “do not disconnect” iPod message is persistent, just go into My Computer and “eject” the iPod to clear the iPod error message.

  • Need help finding a lost i phone

    I'm trying to set up the "find my phone".  My daughter lost her phone.  The phone is set up on my apple id so that I can monitor what she downloads.  I need to set up the "find my phone"  So questions are: 1- if I download the app "find my phone" on my phone, since we have the same apple id, will it download to her phone as well?  If so...Question 2- it keeps telling me I need to set up an @icloud.com.  My log in is my gmail account.  If I change to log in with @icloud.com, will I still be able to use the "find my phone" on the other device or will I have to set up a new log in.  All I want to do is figure out if we can locate the phone.  Help if you can.

    If she's already lost the phone, then you're too late to set up Find my iPhone now.
    It has to be done, on the device BEFORE it is lost or stolen.

  • Newbie needs help, advice and alternatives to imovie

    Hey all,
    I am running into problems using imovie 08. Here is the project: Importing large amounts of VHS footage using a canopus input device. I have no problem importing. the problem exists when I try to delete rejected footage. I know this has been posted before, but i really did not notice a solution. I hear things like, "be patient. it takes time" but I am getting spinning wheel that wont go away. I click on the imovie icon in the toolbar and it says, 'imovie not responding" in the greyed out area of the box. So i am forced to shut down or force quit.....losing not only the clip, but the entire import.
    Is there any way to avoid this? it is a fairly new imac, so its not as if the cpu or memory cant handle the project.
    Now part two.....I want to import all these ideally with imovie, then edit ideally with idvd. First, i want to import everything (i am borrowing a work imac for winter break) and later (summer?) i want to edit. but, i dont think i will be able to do this since i cannot get rid of the scenes...or do i just wait and do this in idvd? IS there an easier way? snap pro? final cut? i want to avoid the rendering times (takes imovie over an hour just to open!) and the freezing. my end product will be DVD's slideshows,
    Could I easily, using these programs, simply make a copy of the DVD's on a LG dvd recorder (stand alone) and edit this video later? or do i have to then import that in DV format, and end up with the same problems? eventually, i want to do lots of editing so the stand alone is not a good permanant solution. I also dont get it: are these DV files or MOV files? the computer shows both. what else imports this format that may allow me to edit the video in an easier, non freezing way?
    thanks for reading. meanwhile, i will continue to scan the forums.
    Mike

    But, let me see if i understand you correctly: import with imovie, but THEN use QT or Mpeg streamclip? or do i import with those programs.
    Actually, I would probably use Vidi (free) to import the source files. It is an older utility and does just one thing -- it captures the raw DV footage and stores it wherever I want. This is handy if I have yet to determine which video editor I plan to use. Once the raw footage is stored on my hard drive, and can perform preliminary cuts of footage I definitely don't plan to use. This saves time importing/re-rendering the content I do actually keep and plan to use, as well as, the thumbnailing of content if it went directly to iMovie '08.
    also, can you explain why this is what you call destructive editing?
    Destructive editing is editing that actually modifies the source file. All versions of iMovie have the ability to "split" the source content into smaller segments and trash ones you don't want. By this I mean it actually divides a source clip into smaller segments, re-writes the segments you want to keep, and deletes those you don't. This is destructive. Once the segments are deleted and the project updated, they are gone for good. iMovie '08, FCE, and FCP, on the other hand, are intended to be used non-destructively. This means You can select a segments and add the segment to one or more projects one or more times without physically changing the source file. In other words, there is no real need to physically remove content you don't want since you can simply tell the project which frames to include in the project. Think of it as either copying the source frames you want to project. In actually, in iMovie '08 you are just copying frame references to the project and not the physical content itself -- which is why I call it "by-reference" editing. Since not actual footage is copied to the project in iMovie '08, the project files are much smaller. In addition, unlike iMovie HD, your edits do not have to be rendered to physicals which also ad to a projects size. Instead, in iMovie '08, the status of the project is simply rendered in real time for viewing which is why the CPU requirements are so high for this application.
    do i loose quality on this?
    Generally speaking, you lose quality every time you transcode your content. Since there is no physical intermediate file in iMovie '08, every frame in our output is transcoded at least once. In iMovie HD, only the titles, filters, transitions, special effects and such are re-rendered (re-compressed to the default project compression format) which means that all other content is exported as a "reference" file pointing to the original source content as it was imported into the project. This is why you will probably see a lot of talk about DVDs made with iMovie HD looking better than those made with iMovie '08.
    a lot?
    That really depends on what you are doing and how good the original content is in terms of quality. If you are importing content that is automatically transcoded or manually transcoded as part of the import and then re-render it part of a special effect and then convert it to a target compression for a particular use, then you could end up with the equivalent of a third generation copy of your original content. If the original content was of outstanding quality, then you may see little or no visual deterioration. If starting with something like QVGA digital camera content, then you may be tearing your hear out when you see the finished product.
    do i really need to jump thru all these hoops just to primarily delete rejected clips? a process that imovie 08 should be able to handle quite easily, but does not.
    The best approach you be for you to do your preliminary editing as you import. Since you will be importing manually, you can plan ahead and only import the content you actually plan to use by starting and stopping the import process manually. By blocking or importing individual segments manually and allowing them to thumbnail independently, you should not be constantly running into the problem where the computer locks up for hours because you are importing an hour plus of content all at once. I have never run any timing tests, but it often seems that the import time sometimes grows geometrically with the amount of content imported simultaneously and not linearly on my rather old G5. (It may just be my imagination, but I'm not sure.)
    the second comment i get. So, i can really keep all the cruddy stuff in my import, and simply do not add it to the idvd project?
    Normally, each project you create in iMovie will end up as a separate "title" on your DVD. You can crate a single long movie or several shorter projects than can be selected as independent playback selections in your DVD project. The basic function of iDVD is to take the files you send to it and convert them to MPEG2/PCM content to be burned to a DVD along with the interactive menus needed to play them back on a commercial DVD player which access content written to specific types of files. While an application like DVDSP will offer limited editing options, they are nowhere as good as what you can do in the video editor. Use iMovie to create the file as you wish to play it back and use iDVD to write those files to your DVD.
    that might help me avoid the issue i am having, but will not help me save drive space.
    As I have already said many times before, the best way to save drive space is not to import content you don't really want. The average DV25 file video content alone takes up an average of about 28.5 mbps for or about 12.825 GB of hard drive space for every hour of imported video plus whatever space is needed for your audio. (There are different "flavors of DV but most often it is imported as DV/DV for iMovie.)
    that might help me avoid the issue i am having, but will not help me save drive space.
    The best way to see what is going on is to simply open one of the files and look at the "Inspector" window. The "Format:" entry should tell you what compression formats were actually used to create the files. The DV file will be DV video with DV audio. The MOV files will likely depend on the actual source file and/or the default project type selected in the case of iMovie HD imports. Basically, if the import routine automatically transcoded the content, it will often end up in an MOV file container as explained previously.
    i like the sound of vidi and will check it out now.....ok. did that. looks good! so, basically, i get one big file at no signal loss, that i can mess with first, then bring into imovie?
    Exactly.
    any reason i would NOT want to do that?
    Probably not as long as you import and do your preliminary editing one tape at a time. In this way you can get rid of most of the dross immediately. If however, there is a long segment you know you'll never use, why import it at all.
    I only have so much time off work here, and hope to do it all during my vacation. this issue was causing me a headache. hopefully this will now make things a little easier.
    Best of luck. Consider it a "learning experience." (I.e., "no pain, no gain.")
