Need help with API and sample code for checking a user's rights on a folder

Hi All,
I am working on an UCM integration where user supplies a folderpath (ucm folders), and a file is later uploaded to this location.
Since a user can provide a folderpath where he has only Read Access or no access at all, we are trying to work out a way to pre-check his permissions on the folder.
Since we have Entity Security enabled, we have 5 security fields to rely on Account, Security Group, User Access List, Group Access List, Role Access List.
Writing custom code for this security check is second on our agenda.
Firstly, we wish to know the API and sample code that typically performs this Security Check in UCM.
We could find intradoc.shared.SecurityUtils which has methods to check security on SGroup and Account, but we couldn't find anything for:
1) Overall security check
2) ACL security check on top of sgroup and account security check

Any ideas anyone?!
I am looking forward to some pointers here. :(

Need help with trim and null function

Hi all,
I need help with a query. I use the trim function to get the first three characters of a string. How do I write my query so if a null value occurs in combination with my trim to say 'Null' in my results?
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. What am I doing wrong?
SELECT trim(SUBSTR(AL1.user_data_text,1,3)),NVL
(AL1.user_data_text,'XX')
FROM Table
I want the XX to appear in the same column as the
trim.The main thing you're doing wrong is not formatting your code. The solution may become obvious if you do.
What you're saying is:
SELECT trim ( SUBSTR (AL1.user_data_text, 1, 3))
,       NVL ( AL1.user_data_text, 'XX' )
FROM    Tablewhich makes it clear that you're SELECTing two columns, when you only want to have one.
If you want that column to be exactly like the first column you're currently SELECTing, except that when that column is NULL you want it to be 'XX', then you have to apply NVL to that column, like this:
SELECT NVL ( trim ( SUBSTR (AL1.user_data_text, 1, 3))
            , 'XX'
FROM    Table

I need help with setting up time machine for backup

I would like help with setting up time machine for backup.

You will need an external hard drive (formatted for a Mac).
Then you plug it in and go to system preferences>time machine and select the external HD and turn it on.
The backups are automatic.

Need help with backup and clean install

Need Assistance with G5
Background
I'm an inexperienced Mac user with a G5, twin 2.0 gig processors and 1.5
gig ram. The OS is v10.3.6. It is the latest OS that will not slow down
internet (Safari/Mail) applications. Anything newer has really slowed internet applications down big time.
Current Problem
I've probably messed up my hard drive by switching back and forth
(archive/install) from newer to present OS. I now have corrupted data and
while my Mac is useable, several things do not work (disk utility, printing
and possibly more). I have a mixture of new and older versions of
these applications/utilities in my OS.
Going Forward
I believe I need to wipe out my hard drive and do a clean install. I also have a Mac mini which I can use (I believe) for backup via firewire.
Backup
Is everything I need to backup in the "User" folder? My spouse and I have
separate accounts and a shared account on the same Mac, with a total of 8.5 gig of data, mostly photo's and music. We want to save that and the usual preferences and favorites/bookmarks/addresses/email, etc. It would be nice if all I had to do was drag the user folder into the target drive.
I'd appreciate any assistance. I have more questions which I'll get to later, but I need to start somewhere.
Thanks all
Mac G5

Backing up your Users folder will save everything in all the accounts on the computer including pictures, music, preferences, etc. as long as they were kept in that folder.
If you have File Vault turned on you should turn it off. The "correct" procedure for transferring to your Mac Mini is as follows:
1. Turn both computers off. Connect them together with a Firewire cable.
2. Boot the G5 into Target Disk Mode.
3. Then boot the Mac Mini normally. The G5's hard drive should be present on the Mini's Desktop.
4. Create a new folder on the Mini and name it something appropriate like G5 User Backup. Drag the Users folder on the G5 into this new folder on the Mini.
After the transfer completes you should verify that everything has been transferred and is there in the folder.
5. Drag the G5's hard drive icon from the Desktop to the Trash or CTRL-click on its icon and select Eject from the contextual menu.
6. Shutdown the G5 and remove the Firewire cable connecting the two computers.
You can now proceed to fix the G5. Because you are planning to erase the hard drive I would like to suggest you do an extended format to prep the hard drive properly for your restoration:
1. Boot from your Panther Installer Disk. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
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, if supported.) 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 will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
You can then quit Disk Utility and return to the installer. Now proceed to reinstall OS X. Be sure you set up your accounts with the exact same usernames and passwords as you used before.
Once you have completed your reinstallation on the G5 you can restore your Users folder from the Mac Mini.
1. Shut down both computers. Connect them with a Firewire cable.
2. Boot the G5 into Target Disk Mode.
3. Boot the Mac Mini normally. G5's hard drive should appear on the Mini's Desktop.
4. Open a Finder window on the G5's hard drive and drag the Users folder to the Trash (don't delete yet.)
5. Now copy the saved Users folder from the Mac Mini to the G5 (only the Users folder, not the folder in which you stored it.)
6. Eject the G5's hard drive from the Mini's Desktop and shut down the G5.
7. Disconnect the Firewire cable.
Now restart the G5. If all worked well it should start up normally and you should find everything normal in your accounts.
There is one potential problem in all the above. All your account preferences are contained in the Users folder. If you have any corrupted preferences, they will still be corrupted and may continue to cause problems. If that's the case you may need to trash the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder's contents. Hopefully, this won't be the case, but you should be aware of the possibility.
If eveything is working normally you can empty the Trash and delete the contents. Same on the Mac Mini.

Noob needs help with Logic and Motu live setup.

Hello everyone,
I'm a noob / semi noob who could use some help with a live setup using 2 MOTU 896HD's and Logic on a Mac.
Here's the scenario:
I teach an outdoor marching percussion section (a drumline and a front ensemble of marimbas and vibes). We have an amazing setup of live sound to amplify and enhance the mallet percussion. There is a yamaha PA system with 2 subs and 2 mains which are routed through a rack unit that processes the overall PA balance. I'm pretty sure that the unit is supposed to avoid feedback and do an overall cross-over EQ of the sound. Other then that unit, we have 2 motu896hd units which are routed via fire-wire. I also have a coax cable routing the output of the secondary box to the input of the primary box (digital i/o which converts to ADAT in (i think?)..?
Here's the confusion:
There are more then 8 inputs being used from the ensemble itself, so I need the 16 available inputs to be available in Logic. I was lead to believe that the 2nd motu unit would have to be sent digitally to the 1st motu unit via coax digital i/o. Once in Logic, however, I cannot find the signal or any input at all past the 8th input (of the 1st unit).
Here's the goal:
All of my performers and inputs routed via firewire into a Mac Mini running OSX and Logic pro.
I want to be able to use MainStage and run different patches of effects / virt. instruments for a midi controller keyboard / etc.
I want to be able to EQ and balance the ensemble via Logic.
Here's another question:
How much latency will I be dealing with? Would a mac mini with 4gb of ram be able to handle this load? With percussion, I obviously want the sound as latency free as possible. I also, however, want the flexibility of sound enhancement / modification that comes with Logic and the motu896hd units.
Any help would be REALLY appreciated. I need the routing assistance along with some direction as to whether or not this will work for this type of application. I'm pretty certain it does, as I have spoken with some other teachers in similar venues and they have been doing similar things using mac mini's / logic / mainstage / etc.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

You'll definitely want to read the manual to make sure the 896HDs are connected together properly. ADAT is a little tricky, it's not just a matter of cabling them together. Go to motunation.com if you need more guidance on connecting multiple devices. Beyond that initial hookup, here are a couple of quick suggestions:
1. Open CueMix and see if both devices are reported there. If not, your connections aren't correct. Be sure to select 44.1kHz as your sample rate, otherwise you are reducing the number of additional channels. For instance at 88.2kHz you would get half the additional channels via ADAT.
2. You may need to create an aggregate device for the MacBook to recognize more than the first 896HD. Lots of help on this forum for how to do that. Again, first make sure you have the 896HDs connected together properly.
3. As for latency with Mainstage on the Mini, no way to know until you try it. Generally MOTU is fantastic for low latency work but Mainstage is a question mark for a lot of users right now. If the Mini can't cut the mustard, you have a great excuse to upgrade to a MacBook Pro.

a)MUST contain the following methods:
a1)public Point(double x, double y)
a2)public double x ()
a3public double y ()
a4)public String toString () : that returns the point in the format "(x,y)"
2)Line class: all data MUST be private
b)MUST contain the following methods:
b1)public Line (Point point1, Point point2)
b2)public Line (Point point1, double slope)
b3)public String toString() : that returns the a text description for the line is y=ax+b format
3)Point2Line class
c1)reads the coordinates of a point and a slope and displays the line equation
c2)reads the coordinates of another point (if the same points, prompt the user to change points) and displays the line equation
***I will worry about the user input later, right now I am using set coordinates
What is expected when the program is ran: example
please input x coordinate of the 1st point: 5
please input y coordinate of the 1st point: -4
please input slope: -2
the equation of the 1st line is: y = -2.0x+6.0
please input x coordinate of the 2nd point: 5
please input y coordinate of the 2nd point: -4
it needs to be a diffrent point from (5.0,-4.0)
please input x coordinate of the 2nd point: -1
please input y coordinate of the 2nd point: 2
the equation of the 2nd line is: y = -1.0x +1.0
CODE::
public class Point{
     private double x = 0;
     private double y = 0;
     public Point(){
     public Point(double x, double y){
          this.x = x;
          this.y = y;
     public double getX(){
          return x;
     public double setX(){
          return this.x;
     public double getY(){
          return y;
     public double setY(){
          return this.y;
     public String toString(){
          return "The point is " + this.x + ", " + this.y;
public class Line
     private double x = 0;
     private double y = 0;
     private double m = 0;
     private double x2 = 0;
     private double y2 = 0;
     public Line()
     public Line (Point point1, Point point2)
          this.x = point1.getX();
          this.y = point1.getY();
          this.x2 = point2.getX();
          this.y2 = point2.getY();
          this.m = slope(point1, point2);
     public Line (Point point1, double slope)
          this.x = point1.getX();
          this.y = point1.getY();
     public double slope(Point point1, Point point2)//finds slope
          double m1 = (point1.getY() - point2.getY())/(point1.getX() - point2.getX());
          return m1;
     public String toString()
          double temp = this.x- this.x2;
          return this.y + " = " +temp + "" + "(" + this.m + ")" + " " + "+ " + this.y2;
          //y-y1=m(x-x1)
public class Point2Line
     public static void main(String[]args)
          Point p = new Point(3, -3);
          Point x = new Point(10, 7);
          Line l = new Line(p, x);
          System.out.println(l.toString());
}My problems:
I dont have the right outcome due to I don't know how to set up the toString in the Line class.
I don't know where to put if statements for if the points are the same and you need to prompt the user to put in a different 2nd point
I don't know where to put in if statements for the special cases such as if the line the user puts in is a horizontal or vertical line (such as x=4.7 or y=3.4)

Sorry guys, I was just trying to be thorough with the assignment. Its not that if the number is valid, its that you cannot put in the same coordinated twice.
public class Line
     private double x = 0;
     private double y = 0;
     private double m = 0;
     private double x2 = 0;
     private double y2 = 0;
     public Line()
     public Line (Point point1, Point point2)
          this.x = point1.getX();
          this.y = point1.getY();
          this.x2 = point2.getX();
          this.y2 = point2.getY();
          this.m = slope(point1, point2);
     public Line (Point point1, double slope)
          this.x = point1.getX();
          this.y = point1.getY();
     public double slope(Point point1, Point point2)//finds slope
          double m1 = (point1.getY() - point2.getY())/(point1.getX() - point2.getX());
          return m1;
     public String toString()
          double temp = this.x- this.x2;
          return this.y + " = " +temp + "" + "(" + this.m + ")" + " " + "+ " + this.y2;
          //y-y1=m(x-x1)
public class Point2Line
     public static void main(String[]args)
          Point p = new Point(3, -3);
          Point x = new Point(10, 7);
          Line l = new Line(p, x);
          System.out.println(l.toString());
}The problem is in these lines of code.
public double slope(Point point1, Point point2) //if this method finds the slope than how would i use the the two coordinates plus "m1" to
          double m1 = (point1.getY() - point2.getY())/(point1.getX() - point2.getX());
          return m1;
     public String toString()
          double temp = this.x- this.x2;
          return this.y + " = " +temp + "" + "(" + this.m + ")" + " " + "+ " + this.y2;
          //y-y1=m(x-x1)
     }if slope method finds the slope than how would i use the the two coordinates + "m1" to create a the line in toString?

Need help changing size and aspect ratio for 500+ images

Thank you for reading this! I have about 500 images of people in different poses. They're all extracted on a transparency as PNGs. They vary in aspect ratio, dimensions and position of the person within the frame - for some the feet are very close to the bottom of the frame and for some, they're higher up. I need to equalize all 3 of these qualities, so that if superimposed, they look like a video unfolding with the same zoom. My ideal size would be 800x800 at 300ppi.
Is there a way to batch even a part of the process and keep the png format? I had the images in PSD initially but they were too massive so creating catalogs with them was prohibitive.
If not possible to do a batch, what would be the best (easiest) and fastest way to do it? I'm thinking that maybe creating some template where an oval shape the size of the head can help create consistency of the size of the person and a line that helps set up the distance from the bottom?
I so appreciate any help you have to offer. Part of my problem is that I don't know what these processes are called so I don't even know what to search for. If you can even name the actions that I need, it would be of great help. I already paid a designer to do the extraction and they were supposed to do this formatting as well and they didn't so my budget is shot. I'm hoping that if I understand what the steps are, I can do them myself.
Thank you!

If you download my crafting actions package you can record an action that uses one of my plug-in scripts to do that process. You could then batch that action and process your 500 png image files.

Need help with XtremeGamer and

Can someone from support or other knowledgable peeps help me identify what exactly is going on with my soundcard, as well as answering my question about sound quality, ?or direct my post to the relevant thread, Im sorry for the long post I will try to keep it as small as possible with the relevant information:?SB0730: Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamerXP SP2: Basic/Fresh install with latest updates(no other software)Sennheiser PC6: Headset + MicLogitech: 2. Speakers
?)?[color="#0033ff">Is the 'sound?quality' the same for the '0-pin front panel connection' as the backplate connection, basically?is their any disadvantage to?plugging my headset + mic into the front panel of my PC, as opposed to plugging it into the backplate of the card. [color="#0033ff">?[color="#0033ff">[color="#000000"]2) [color="#3366ff">Here is a description of my card problem in order of occurence, is this?a driver issue?(I hear that there are new beta drivers being released?)?or do I need to RMA:?a) Installed drivers from disk, mic didnt work?and had to re-install Windows in the endb) Downloaded and installed SBXF_PCDRV_LB_2_09_0007.exec) Mic?didnt work so re-installed Windows and this time used Microsoft drivers, which seemed more stabled) The mic?worked fine with MS drivers, with headset connected to backplate and speakers connected to seperate Karajan audio module/card, even though sometimes the mic mute coudnt be unticked it still worked somehow after lots of messing with sound settings in Windows control panel?...then?e) While attempting to attach my speakers to the XtremGamer, I disabled the Karajan Module in the BIOS, attached XtremeGamer front panel connectors?and re-installed windows.f)?Connected the speakers and?installed SBXF_PCDRV_LB_2_09_0007.exeg) Mic problems, no mic sound, cant untick mute as before, cant turn down mic volume or if you can turn it down, the mic spookily turns itself back up right before your eyes, all my usual tweeking of Windows sound control panel to no avail, the hardware test will detect the mic once in 5 tries, with terrible sound quality and then eventually cuts out. doesnt make any differnec having the mic/speakers in the front/back panel

I need help with repaint() and validate() or something else im not aware of

Im a teacher and im trying to make educational games for my students. This is a simplified code of something i want the applet to do. When the JButton is pressed i want the interior panels to change. In this case JPanel pan3 is my main panel and i want to be able to switch between JPanel pan1 and JPanel pan2 by pressing either [ JButton 1 ] or [ JButton 2 ].
What is happening in my code here when i press one of the buttons is that the interior panel will change the first time but not the second time, plus it will freeze up.
Here is the code if someone can help me.

Need help with part of my code

this code is taken from a News server i am making...
// process connection with client
 private void processConnection(String[][] texts) throws IOException
 Newslist = new ArrayList();
 //output.getTexts;
 for (int i = 0; i < texts.length; i++) {
 System.out.println(texts[0]+ "" + texts[i][1]+ "" +texts[i][2] );
When a client connects to this server the server does a system output of an array in the servers class. Instead of simply out putting these array items to the screen, what code do i need to output them to the client. its a socket connection so im using get streams to handle input and output. I dont know how to send these array info to the client, that is my question
here is my get stream codeprivate void getStreams() throws IOException
// set up output stream for objects
output = new ObjectOutputStream( connection.getOutputStream() );
output.flush(); // flush output buffer to send header information
// set up input stream for objects
input = new ObjectInputStream( connection.getInputStream() );
displayMessage( "\nGot I/O streams\n" );
thanks for any help.

thanks, i used writeObject cause it didnt like write
for some reason. My next question is how can i make my
client program read the array and form it own array
with it.The simplest way is to create the array as the client needs it as send it via writeObject()
You will be able to do a readObject() at the other end to get the object back.
My client is currently using its own array of strings
for reading info, i want to use the servers array
instead.If you send a custom object, the code for these object(s) will need to be the same on the client and the server.

Need help with GetStringUTFChars and JAB

Please help,
I want to use the JNI function GetStringUTFChars with JAB (Java Access Bridge), without having to call JNI_CreateJavaVM as no matter what I do, JNI_CreateJavaVM fails. I have JAB successfully loaded, and I have used GetAccesibleFromHWND to get a valid jobect. Is there any way I can go from the jobect to use GetStringUTFChars?
If not, is the source code availabe for GetStringUTFChars? OR is there an Windows/C++ equivalent available?

I am a rookie and need help with max and min values

Hello all, i am into this intro to java class. my assignment is to write a program that prompts the user for two integers and then prints the sum, difference, average, product , distance (absolute value of the difference) Maximum(largest of the two) and Minimum(smallest fo the two) here is my code so far
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.lang.Math;
public class Sample4
 public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
 try // attempt the following
{ // create the stream to read from
InputStreamReader istream = new InputStreamReader(System.in); // create a buffer to hold the stream
BufferedReader console = new BufferedReader(istream); // prompt the user
 System.out.println("Enter a number please"); // get input as a string
 String input = console.readLine(); // convert to an integer
 int num1 = Integer.parseInt(input);
 System.out.println("Enter a number please"); // get input as a string
 String input2 = console.readLine(); // convert to an integer
 int num2 = Integer.parseInt(input2);
 int sum = num1 + num2; // get the sum of the two inputs
 int difference = num1 - num2; // get the difference of the two inputs
 int product = num1 * num2; // get the product of the two inputs
 int average = sum / 2; // get the average of the two inputs
 int abs = Math.abs(difference); // get the absolute value of the two inputs
 // new section
 // display the number
 System.out.println("The total sum = " + sum);
 System.out.println("The total difference = " + difference);
 System.out.println("The total product = " + product);
 System.out.println("The total average = " + average);
 System.out.println("The total absolute value = " + abs);
} // if something breaks, catch the exception
catch (IOException e)
 System.out.println(e); // displays the exception
 System.exit(1); // quits the program
}what will be the right syntax or code to find the MAX and MIN values of two numbers a User Inputs, hope someone can help with this. thank you for your help.

Thanks alot man, sheesh i do not know why my book
doesnt give me all the static methods. but i do really
appreciate your help. peaceA complete list of the java.lang.Math methods can be found at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/lang/Math.html
btw,
max(a, b) == (a > b) ? a : b
min(a, b) == (a < b) ? a : b
