Need Help With Capturing EDirectory/IChain User Info

After 8 years, we were finally able to get our production ColdFusion MX7 server, working with the company's EDirectory server. EDirectory now authenticates users, based on their job title, job class, job group, etc. We provided our IS (Information Security) department with the job codes and report names, directories, etc., that each employee (job code) can access. Previously, we used "passwords" to limit access to more confidential reports to select management employees.
There are only a few CF servers in our company, so the IS (Information Security) department is not familiar with how to use ColdFusion to "capture" user information that they say is being passed "back" to the CF server, after each user's query/report request. IS says about a dozen variables are being passed in the header, back to the CF server, including EMPLOYEE NAME, LOCATION, etc.
I'm trying to figure out how to capture that info, and use it to greet the user "by name" when they connect to our CF report server. And to also maintain a log file of which locations and employees are accessing our web reports. Today, we use the SQL Server logs, which only contain the IP address and URL information "sent" (not returned), to know how often certain reports are being requested. But we don't know by who, or by which locations.
One person in IS recommended using CFHTTP, and I've tried it, but don't seem to be able to pull the variables off the header. I thought using CFLDAP might work, but doesn't. If anyone is in a similar situation, and knows how best to pull this info from the header info coming from EDirectory, I would apppreciate some advice. Just knowing if CFLDAP or CFHTTP will work, or if something else is required. Just trying to get on the right footing, at the moment. Thank you,
Gary1

Thanks for the reply. I was actually hoping the I-Chain/EDirectory variables would be available as CGI variables. Here are some of the CGI variables I tried to retrieve from the header. As you can see, only two contained values. There must be some other way to obtain these. I'd played around with CFLDAP, CFHTTP, etc. No such luck. But as mentioned, the IS dept says the values I'm looking for (UserID, Name, Location, etc.) are all being sent in every header (every response from the server). Am just not sure which CF tags/tools to use to capture them. Maybe it requires some special script. I tried a few of those found in the CF7 on-line help, but no luck in getting the scripts to run. If any other thoughts or suggestions, they would be much appreciated. Thanks again, Gary1.

Need Help With Capturing

I have a canon HV20 and i want capture some clips but it does not let me do it. it says can't activate the recorder try resetting the camera.
please help

Hi Raj:
The message you get seems to point that you have set in the settings-tab of the capture window "DV" as format and not "HDV" - or vice versa (depending what video-clips you have recorded on the camera-tape).
A-Procedure
1. What video-clips are on your camera-tape you wish to capture? DV or HDV? Say here for example HDV:
2. Start premiere and ensure that you setup a project to HDV (or DV; see 1.)
3. After connecting via firewire the camera to the PC set the HV20 to PLAY!
4. Press F5 which shows the capture window
5. Select the Tab "Settings"
6. In the "Capture settings" select "Edit..." and select now the correct format HDV (or DV) and select OK
7. In the Area "Device control" select "Options..."
8. Ensure the following settings: PAL - Canon - Standard - Non Drop-Frame (or in the case of NTSC: NTSC - Canon - Standard -Auto detect)
9. Select "Check Status": If the camera is correct connected to the PC and there is the correct HDV-tape in it then the status "Online" should be shown.
B-Further Checks
If all that does not help You should check:
* Edit > Preferences (especially Audio, Capture and Device Control)
* Project > Project Settings > General ("Capture" must show "HDV")
C-Postscripts
a) I am working with HV20-camera, XP/SP3, Adobe Premiere Pro 4.1, PAL, HDV (sometimes DV) and have no problems with capturing.
b) A last word: If you have HDV and DV-clips on one tape ==> thats not good !! Use one tape either for HDV or DV recording. In the case that there are DV- and HDV-clips on the tape you may get troubles when trying capturing.
c) A last-last word: When recording with the HV20 ensure that you have set correct all camera-settings (especially that concerning DV versus HDV)!
d) If that all can not help you - then I also need much more information!

I need help with Capturing error message

I shot some DVNTSC footage in widescreen on my sony Handycam.
I set up my final capture presets to capture DVNTSC Anamorphic. When I try to capture I get an error message saying... Dropped frames were detected in my video footage.
Final cut gets all hung up and won't capture a thing.
Can anyone help me with this problem?
Thanks

What David is saying is that it's not recommended to capture to your internal drive. It's already running the OS and the software, trying to write video to it at the same time can often cause, imagine that, dropped frames.
The second setup you mention is also not recommended. USB hard drives transfer data in bursts, instead of firewire's stream. This can lead to, imagine that, dropped frames.
And finally, the firewire drive and camera attached to the same FW bus will essentially double the data rate needed, and is not recommended, as it will cause, imagine that, dropped frames.
The solution you should be looking for is a express/34 card with an external SATA attached to avoid the bottlenecks you are experiencing.

Need help with Java app for user input 5 numbers, remove dups, etc.

I'm new to Java (only a few weeks under my belt) and struggling with an application. The project is to write an app that inputs 5 numbers between 10 and 100, not allowing duplicates, and displaying each correct number entered, using the smallest possible array to solve the problem. Output example:
Please enter a number: 45
Number stored.
45
Please enter a number: 54
Number stored.
45 54
Please enter a number: 33
Number stored.
45 54 33
etc.
I've been working on this project for days, re-read the book chapter multiple times (unfortunately, the book doesn't have this type of problem as an example to steer you in the relatively general direction) and am proud that I've gotten this far. My problems are 1) I can only get one item number to input rather than a running list of the 5 values, 2) I can't figure out how to check for duplicate numbers. Any help is appreciated.
My code is as follows:
import java.util.Scanner; // program uses class Scanner
public class Array
     public static void main( String args[] )
      // create Scanner to obtain input from command window
          Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in);
      // declare variables
         int array[] = new int[ 5 ]; // declare array named array
         int inputNumbers = 0; // numbers entered
      while( inputNumbers < array.length )
          // prompt for user to input a number
            System.out.print( "Please enter a number: " );
                  int numberInput = input.nextInt();
          // validate the input
             if (numberInput >=10 && numberInput <=100)
                   System.out.println("Number stored.");
                 else
                   System.out.println("Invalid number. Please enter a number within range.");
          // checks to see if this number already exists
                boolean number = false;
          // display array values
          for ( int counter = 0; counter < array.length; counter++ )
             array[ counter ] = numberInput;
          // display array values
             System.out.printf( "%d\n", array[ inputNumbers ] );
               // increment number of entered numbers
            inputNumbers++;
} // end close Array

Yikes, there is a much better way to go about this that is probably within what you have already learned, but since you are a student and this is how you started, let's just concentrate on fixing what you got.
First, as already noted by another poster, your formatting is really bad. Formatting is really important because it makes the code much more readable for you and anyone who comes along to help you or use your code. And I second that posters comment that brackets should always be used, especially for beginner programmers. Unfortunately beginner programmers often get stuck thinking that less lines of code equals better program, this is not true; even though better programmers often use far less lines of code.
                         // validate the input
   if (numberInput >=10 && numberInput <=100)
          System.out.println("Number stored.");
else
               System.out.println("Invalid number. Please enter a number within range."); Note the above as you have it.
                     // validate the input
                     if (numberInput >=10 && numberInput <=100)
                          System.out.println("Number stored.");
                     else
                          System.out.println("Invalid number. Please enter a number within range."); Note how much more readable just correct indentation makes.
                     // validate the input
                     if (numberInput >=10 && numberInput <=100) {
                          System.out.println("Number stored.");
                     else {
                          System.out.println("Invalid number. Please enter a number within range.");
                     } Note how it should be coded for a beginner coder.
Now that it is readable, exam your code and think about what you are doing here. Do you really want to print "Number Stored" before you checked to ensure it is not a dupe? That could lead to some really confused and frustrated users, and since the main user of your program will be your teacher, that could be unhealthy for your GPA.
Since I am not here to do your homework for you, I will just give you some advice, you only need one if statement to do this correctly, you must drop the else and fix the if. I tell you this, because as a former educator i know the first thing running through beginners minds in this situation is to just make the if statement empty, but this is a big no no and even if you do trick it into working your teacher will not be fooled nor impressed and again your GPA will suffer.
As for the rest, you do need a for loop inside your while loop, but not where or how you have it. Inside the while loop the for loop should be used for checking for dupes, not for overwriting every entry in the array as you currently have it set up to do. And certainly not for printing every element of the array each time a new element is added as your comments lead me to suspect you were trying to do, that would get real annoying really fast again resulting in abuse of your GPA. Printing the array should be in its own for loop after the while loop, or even better in its own method.
As for how to check for dupes, well, you obviously at least somewhat understand loops and if statements, thus you have all the tools needed, so where is the problem?

Need help with capture settings for Beta SP

I'm trying to capture footage shot on Beta SP, capturing from a BetaCamSP UVW-1600 deck. I'm trying to capture at full quality, and currently have my capture preset set at 10-bit uncompressed. I'm not sure what the exact settings should be within the preset.
When I have it set to this preset, the footage shifts when there is camera movement, and when there are flashes from a snapshot camera in the footage, that frame becomes unusable.
This footage is for TV and I don't know how to get full quality and fix this image field shifting problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How are you capturing this? With what capture card?
BetaSP is technically 8-bit uncompressed. All you are doing capturing 10-bit is increasing your file size.
8-bit uncompressed 29.97...whatever setting that is with your capture card.

Need help with fillling backing bean w/info

I am new to JSP and have some very basic questions regarding filling a JSF with data from the database and then allowing the user to edit and save the data back to the database.
I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3 developer preview
This is what I have so far (which may be suspect in itself):
1. A method called DatabaseUtil.getProductApproval(productApprovalNbr) which creates and returns a ProductApprovalBean
2. A JSF called search.jsp with backing bean Search.java.
3. Another JSF called productApproval.jsp with backing bean ProductApproval.java
4. Successful navigation defined from search.jsp to productApproval.jsp
5. The backing bean Search.java has a SearchButton_action that returns success if productApprovalNbr specified is OK (edit currently hard-coded)
6. The productApproval.jsp has a component called productApprovalNbr with binding to backing_search.productApprovalNbr
This is want I want to do but donât know how:
1. Make a call to create the ProductApprovalBean and fill the productApproval.jsp backing bean with info from ProductApprovalBean before the productApproval.jsp is displayed to the user.
2. Allow the user to change values and save them back to the db after clicking on the save command button.
How do I wire this stuff up?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated because I am stuck big time.
Regards,
Al Malin

Thanks for the reply Brian.
Iâve looked at directly binding to the ProductApprovalBean and that looks like a good approach to take in other cases but for the UI design I currently have I am not sure.
Basically, the ProductApprovalBean is a master entity with several related detail entities. This is so because the user wants to see all of the related data on a single page instead of showing one page for a master, another for a detail, another for another detail, etc. So I am designing a JSF form that consists of multiple sections, each section presenting an entity. Each detail section would have its own command buttons for editing, adding, and deleting rows.
Since my first post I have figured out how to fire an event in search.jsp and catch it in an event handler in the backing_bean. (This was great progress --- only took me 9 hours to write 6 lines of code. :-) From here I figured I could access the db and load up the fields for the first screen and do updates with the subsequent screens.
After looking through the documentation, I not sure Iâm up to the task. New problem, I donât know the JSF classes well enough to load up the fields, and after they are loaded, how do I get the data out. (At first, JSF looked really slick but there has been a steep leaning curve associated with it, I'm real close to reverting to JSPs and servlets.)
If I am on the wrong path and this approach is all wet, please say so.

Need help with Java MIDI and VST info

I am currently a college student for programming and I know programming very well, but for this current task, I am completely stuck. This is not a school project or work, just a personal project I'm working on at the moment to learn more about Java.
What I am trying to create is a VST (Virtual Studio Synthesizer) using Java for use in music programs such as FL Studio, Sonar, Ableton, and so on. I did alot of Googling and found the following program:
[http://jvaptools.sourceforge.net/index.html]
I got it working, but it's not quite what I am looking for (it's more like an on-site editor that you enter code into and then run it). I want to create a VST from scratch and learn what each thing means in the program. I've done some research on MIDI input and output and found the following in the Java documentation:
[http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/sound/midi/MidiDevice.html]
I figured I'm on track of what I'm looking for, but the problem is that the Java documentation simply sucks. It has no examples of code, how the functions work, and how I'm suppose to use them.
First off, I want to start with the extreme bare basics. Is it even possible to do a VST in JUST Java? I've seen and used examples of obtaining data from a MIDI file and playing it, but that's not what I'm trying to do. Second, how would I take MIDI data from a music program running the VST and enter the data into a text box? Once I'm able to do that, I should be able to work with the data to produce audio output.
My program I am attempting to make is a guitar synthesizer that I can run in music programs as a VST. If anyone around here knows anything about MIDI and VST plugins, please, post some example code and help point me in the right direction to creating something. I'm not looking to use other people's programs or code, I want to make something myself from scratch but I don't know where to start!

Need HELP with JTree created by user input

I have been trying to create code that takes a user input string
ex: a:b,c;b:g,h,j;g:k,m;b:u
note: (the above string is then stored into a string array such in the format a:bc;b:ghj;g:km;b:u after it is verified that the hierarchy order is correct)
The string is read in such that the any value before the : is a parent and its childern continue until a ; is found. Anyway verifying the sting I have accomplished and I have been able to input the string into a modified binary tree as long as there are only 2 childern per parent and graphically represents its structure of hierarchy. The problem is that each parent can have more the two childern.
I have been working with the BTree class and find its output similar to what I am wanting which would represent a hierarchy of objects (files, employees, etc...) anyway I have been stumped as to how to get the above string into a format that can then create the correct JTree output without hard code.
If any one has any suggestions on how to turn the data, in the string array into a usable format to create the correct JTree output, I would greatly appreciate it.
In the above example the string array, a:bc;b:ghj;g:km;b:u would have a desired ouput of
a
..b
....g
......k
......m
....h
....j
....u
..c

Need help with DVD model/Firmware update info

I am sorry to post here but have found no other way to try and get help or information about a Toshiba, (supposedly) slim style internal DVDRW unit, TS-632H, for our computer. The label on the unit says Toshiba Samsung, and the complete number on the label is Tsst corp CDDVDW TS-632-H. (This is what is also shows in Device Manager/Properties for the unit. We are trying to find the (real) model of this unit so we can determine the firmware version to make sure we have the latest version on the unit and to see if there are any specific drivers for the unit. Thank you for your help and again, sorry if this may be the wrong forum and maybe directing us to an appropriate forum would be appreciated if there is such one. Thank you.

The information you see in the Device Manager is correct. If you can furnish the full model# be of great assistance. There, try this-- Free Download TSST DVD Drive Firmware for Toshiba Notebooks You should be concerned that the driver is up to date as it more of an asset to you.

Need help with re-prompting the user for input .

I am trying to wright a code the re prompts the user for input if they enter anything but an integer but I keep getting a "char cannot be dereferenced" error when I try to compile.
Here's what I have got:
import java.util.Scanner; // imports Scanner methods
public class SandBox
public static void main(String[] args)
      // re-prompting test
      Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
      System.out.println("Please enter an integer: ");
      String i = in.nextLine();
      for(int a=0; a<i.length(); a++)
          if( (i.charAt(a).isDigit()) ) {
              System.out.println("Thank you!");
              break;
            } else {
                System.out.println("Please try again");
                continue;
      int b = Interger.parseInt(i);
}// end of class
}//end of main method

Sorry for double posting but it won't let edit my last post.
I would prefer to go through it without using try catch because it takes longer though I will use it if I cannot get the other way working.

         String i = in.nextLine();
         for(int a=0; a<i.length(); a++)

I have a "Contact" organization issue I need help with. I organize multiple customers under their account affiliation. I place the people with their contact info under each account name by their dept/role in the notes section of their account. I am looking to be able to directly dial / email from this info in yet notes section located within a contact. On Blackberry, the notes area entered in a contact can connect directly but on the iPhone those numbers/emails are inactive. I am trying to avoid having to create each of these individuals as a separate contact and keep them under their account affiliation. It is easier to find them. This does not seem like that complicated of a request and hoping someone can tell me how or share an app that will enable the "notes" within a contact be "active". Hope this makes sense.

I seem to recall that this question has been asked before and I'm pretty sure that the answer is that you can't do what you want to do with the native contact app. However, there are lots of contact apps out there that pull from the built app's data but have other features. Perhaps one of them would meet your needs.
