Need help with persistance using an array of values

I have an array of values, say:
String[] fruit = {apples, oranges, pears}
And I want to know how to send this into a database table that is separate from the rest of the class. for example, the fruit array is part of a class Food. Food has the following fields:
@Column(Name= food_type)
private String foodType;
String[] fruit
Say that the Food class places the foodType variable in the Food table, but I want to place each item of the fruit array into a separate table that has the fruit type, and Food_id that links it back to the food table.
What is the correct code for this?

i recommend you start with JDBC
for example, the fruit array is part of a class Food. Food has the following fields:
@Column(Name= food_type)
private String foodType;
String[] fruit
Say that the Food class places the foodType variable in the Food table, but I want to place each item of the fruit array into a separate table that has the fruit type, and Food_id that links it back to the food table.
What is the correct code for this?When you write the code and it does what you want, you will then know the answer to this question.

Need help with session using dreamweaver

have created a login page (php/mysql) with username and
password boxes. when the form is submitted the mainpage loads up.
i want the main page to be specific to that user, so i want
their name to appear in the first line. eg.. Welcome back 'David'
I read a tutorial in the past that tought me to send the
users id in the URL and then create a record set on the mainpage
that was filtered by the URL parameter.
I have forgotten how to do this and the tutorial is no longer
available on Adobe's site.
I tried that with
$_SESSION['MM_Username'] = $loginUsername; \\ in first page
then
echo $_SESSION["MM_username"]; \\in second page, but the
problem is that is not showing user name.
i need help with that please!
can anyone tell me how to do this? Thanks in advance,
AM

IN the second page, you have to make sure that the session
has been started.
Put this at the very top of the page -
<?php if (!isset($_SESSION)) session_start(); ?>

Need Help with Formula using SQL maybe

I need help! I work with Crystal reports XI and usually manage just fine with the Formula editor but his one I think will require some SQL and I am not good at that.
We are running SQL 2000 I think (Enterprise Manager 8.0) Our sales people schedule activities and enter notes for customer accounts. Each is stored in a separate table. I need to find activities that are scheduled 240 days into the future and show the most recent note that goes with the account for which that activity is scheduled.
The two tables, Activities and History, share the an accountID field in common that links them to the correct customer account.   I want to look at dates in the Startdate.Activities field more than 240 days in the future and show the most recent note from the History table where the accountid's match. I figure my query will contain a join on AccountID.Activities and AccountID.History used with Max(completedate.History) but I do not understand how to word it.
I would like to perform all this in crystal if possible. I humbly request your help.
Membery

You SQL would look something like this...
SELECT
a.AccountID,
a.BlahBlahBlah, -- Any other fields you want from the Activities table
h.LastComment
FROM Activities AS a
LEFT OUTER JOIN History AS h ON a.AccountID = h.AccountID
WHERE (a.ActivityDate BETWEEN GetDate() AND DateAdd(dd, 240, GetDate()))
AND h.HistoryID IN (
     SELECT MAX(HistoryID)
     FROM History
     GROUP BY AccountID)
This method assumes that the History table has a HistoryID that increments up automatically each time a new comment is added... So a comment made today would always have a higher HistoryID that one made yesterday.
If I'm wrong and there is no HistoryID or the HistoryID doesn't increment in a chronological fashion, it can still be done but the code is a bit more complex.

Need Help with timing using multiple clips

I am in need of some help. I am trying to have a total of 16 video clips appear to slide across the screen from the right to the left, all while being equally spaced apart, going the same speed without them crossing over one another. I am using the center and anchor point in the motion tab, but once i get the the third clip i just cant seem to get the time right. I basically want them to come into the screen from the left and out of the screen from the right, all while scrolling acrossed. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
I even trued manipulating idvd and imovie themes in Quartz Composer, ended up starting fresh and new, and then again got into the mess with timing. Please help!!!!
Thanks so much,

Try this:
Copy one clip that works OK and use Paste Attributes on the shonky one.

Need help with IQ02 - using a FM do update a value in this transaction

Hi,
I am trying to change the Aquisition value (as in transaction IQ02) using either of following FM:
ITOB_SERIALNO_MODIFY_SINGLE
SERIALNUMBER_LIST_UPDATE
However the changed value of field (ANSWT) is not getting reflected in database.
I tried ABAP4_COMMIT_WORK, but it didnt work.
I also tried, BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT but getting a express document message 'Update was terminated.'
Kindly help me with this. The only thing I need to do is to change the ANSWT (Aquisition value) field.
Thanks.
Sanjay
PS: Help will be rewarded

It's a bit dangerous to use SAP function modules that are not released to the user to update SAP data because they may not be a complete LUW. IE you may have to run other FMS either before or after. Try to find a BAPI. Maybe BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT is what you need.

Need Help With Query Using Aggregation

If I have a table, defined like this:
CREATE TABLE range_test
range_id NUMBER(20) NOT NULL,
grade CHAR(1) NOT NULL,
lower_bound_of_range NUMBER(5,2) NOT NULL,
upper_bound_of_range NUMBER(5,2) NOT NULL,
received_date_time_stamp TIMESTAMP DEFAULT SYSTIMESTAMP NOT NULL
And I wanted to query the table to find the range associated with the last inserted row for each 'grade' (e.g. 'A', 'B', 'C', etc), how would I go about that?
I want something like the following, but I know that this won't work right:
SELECT
grade,
lower_bounding_of_range,
upper_bounding_of_range,
max(received_date_time_stamp)
FROM
range_test GROUP BY received_date_time_stamp;
Thanks for your help. . .I'm frustrating myself with this one and I think it should be possible without having to use PL/SQL (i.e. SQL aggregate functions or sub-queries should work).

Perhaps something along the lines of...

I am generating a wav file using the sound and vibration example vi "SVXMPL_Wav Recorder(DAQmx)" using a ni 7422 board. Then, using the example vi SVXMPL_Getting started with SVT(Simulated)" attempting to play back that file. the wav file will load and play back on the graphs fine but when I click the "Play Wav File" which sends the audio to the computers speaker, I get the error "Cannot recognise sound Format". It plays the shipped example files fine. I can also play the wav files I generate on a Windows audio player. Don't know a lot about the sound and vibration toolkit or wav file formats but need to get these two to work together. Using LV 8.5 and sound and vibration toolkit 4.0.

Need help with SelectOneMenu in a HtmlDataTable: Default Values

Hello again,
I have an DataTable in my jsp and 1 of the columns need to be a dropdown.
Further, I also need the dropdown defaulted to whatever data that is currently in the datatable.
I can get the dropdown data to display, however I cannot get it to default to a value in each row.
So far I've got the following:
jsp:
<h:dataTable id="dataTable" binding="#{AddSponsors.projectDepartmentsDataTable}" value="#{AddSponsors.projectDepartments}" var="projectDepartments" border="1" >
<h:column>
   <f:facet name="header" >
      <h:outputText value="Department" styleClass="labelcell"/>
   </f:facet>
   <h:selectOneMenu value="#{projectDepartments.deptCode}">
      <f:selectItems value="#{AddSponsors.selectItemsDepartment}" />
   </h:selectOneMenu>
</h:column>**Note that AddSponsors.projectDepartments is a list of the object AddSponsorsDTO.
AddSponsorsDTO:
public class AddSponsorsDTO implements java.io.Serializable{
   private String deptCode;
   private String deptName;
   private Double percentAllocation;
//getters and setters for the above
}session scoped backing bean:
I have the dropdown populated fine like this:
//getter for the dropdown
public List<SelectItem> getSelectItemsDepartment() {
   fillSelectItemsDepartment();
   return selectItemsDepartment;
//fill the dropdown
public void fillSelectItemsDepartment(){
   TbDepartment t;
   List l = this.tbDepartmentDAO.findAll();
   selectItemsDepartment = new ArrayList<SelectItem>();
   for (Iterator i = l.iterator(); i.hasNext();){
      t = (TbDepartment) i.next();
      selectItemsDepartment.add(new SelectItem(t.getDeptCode(), t.getDeptName()));
}How is an item selected in the dropdown. Let's say programatically for example? By deptCode?
Am I missing anything here?
Thanks!

I revisited that page and now I understand a bit more clearly.
The key for me was the LinkedHashedMap and the get() method.
As you suggested, I also created a DTO to store the key and value.
Then I populate the Map like this:
selectListDTOMap = new LinkedHashMap<String, SelectListDTO>();
for (Iterator i = l.iterator(); i.hasNext();){
   t = (TbDepartment) i.next();
   selectListDTOMap.put(t.getDeptCode(), new SelectListDTO(t.getDeptCode(), t.getDeptName()));
}Then I've got another method that populates the actual SelectItems.
selectItemsDepartment = new ArrayList<SelectItem>();
List<SelectListDTO> list = new ArrayList<SelectListDTO>(selectListDTOMap.values());
for(SelectListDTO dto : list){
   selectItemsDepartment.add(new SelectItem(dto.getKey(), dto.getValue()));
}I also have a valueChangeListener like this:
public void selectItemChanged(ValueChangeEvent event){
   String newValue = (String) event.getNewValue();
   SelectListDTO dto = (SelectListDTO) selectListDTOMap.get((String)event.getNewValue());
   AddSponsorsDTO s = (AddSponsorsDTO) projectDepartmentsDataTable.getRowData();
   s.setDeptCode(dto.getKey());
   s.setDeptName(dto.getValue());
   s.setDataItemStatus(AddSponsorsDTO.NewModified);
   //set the new data to the datatable data
   projectDepartments.set(projectDepartmentsDataTable.getRowIndex(), s);
}Makes sense?

I need help with event structure. I am trying to feed the index of the array, the index can vary from 0 to 7. Based on the logic ouput of a comparison, the index buffer should increment ?

I need help with event structure.
I am trying to feed the index of the array, the index number can vary from 0 to 7.
Based on the logic ouput of a comparison, the index buffer should increment
or decrement every time the output of comparsion changes(event change). I guess I need to use event structure?
(My event code doesn't execute when there is an event at its input /comparator changes its boolean state.
Anyone coded on similar lines? Any ideas appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

You don't need an Event Structure, a simple State Machine would be more appropriate.
There are many examples of State Machines within this forum.

Need help with connecting file inputs to arrays

In this assignment I have a program that will do the following: display a list of names inputed by the user in reverse order, display any names that begin with M or m, and display any names with 5 or more letters. This is all done with arrays.
That was the fun part. The next part requires me to take the names from a Notepad file, them through the arrays and then output them to a second Notepad file.
Here is the original program: (view in full screen so that the code doesn't get jumbled)
import java.io.*;       //Imports the Java library
class progB                    //Defines class
    public static void main (String[] arguments) throws IOException
        BufferedReader keyboard;                                  //<-
        InputStreamReader reader;                                 // Allows the program to
        reader = new InputStreamReader (System.in);               // read the the keyboard
        keyboard = new BufferedReader (reader);                  //<-
        String name;                 //Assigns the name variable which will be parsed into...
        int newnames;               //...the integer variable for the amount of names.
        int order = 0;              //The integer variable that will be used to set the array size
        String[] array;             //Dynamic array (empty)
        System.out.println (" How many names do you want to input?");   //This will get the number that will later define the array
        name = keyboard.readLine ();
        newnames = Integer.parseInt (name);                                         // Converts the String into the Integer variable
        array = new String [newnames];                                               //This defines the size of the array
        DataInput Imp = new DataInputStream (System.in);       //Allows data to be input into the array
        String temp;
        int length;                                                                  //Defines the length of the array for a loop later on
            for (order = 0 ; order < newnames ; order++)                                //<-
            {                                                                           // Takes the inputed names and
                System.out.println (" Please input name ");                            // gives them a number according to
                temp = keyboard.readLine ();                                           // the order they were inputed in
                array [order] = temp;                                                  //<-

                System.out.print (" \n ");                                                   // order that they were inputed
                System.out.println (" Name " + order + " is " + array [order]);             //<-
            for (order = 0 ; order < newnames ; order++)                                  //<-
                if (array [order].startsWith ("M") || array [order].startsWith ("m"))     // Finds and outputs any and all
                {                                                                         // names that begin with M or m

                {                                                                                  // with 5 or more letters
                    System.out.print (" \n ");                                                      //
                    System.out.println ("Name " + array [order] + " have 5 or more letters ");      //<-
}The notepad file contains the following names:
jim
laruie
tim
timothy
manny
joseph
matty
amanda
I have tried various methods but the one thing that really gets me is the fact that i can't find a way to connect the names to the arrays. Opening the file with FileInputStream is easy enough but using the names and then outputing them is quite hard. (unless i'm thinking too hard and there really is a simple method)

By "connect", do you just mean you want to put the names into an array?
array[0] = "jim"
array[1] = "laruie"
and so on?
That shouldn't be difficult at all, provided you know how to open a file for reading, and how to read a line of text from it. You can just read the line of text, put it in the array position you want, until the file is exhausted. Then open a file for writing, loop through the array, and write a line.
What part of all that do you need help with?

Need help with a currently "in-use" form we want to switch to Adobes hosting service

Hi, I am in desperate need of help with some issues concerning several forms which we currently use a paid third party (not Adobe) to host and "re-distribute through email"...Somehow I got charged $14.95 for YOUR service, (signed up for a trial, but never used it)..and now I am paying for a year of use of the similar service which Adobe is in control of. I might want to port my form distribution through Adobe in the hopes of reducing the errors, problems and hassles my customers are experiencing when some of them push our "submit button". (and I guess I am familiar with these somewhat from reading what IS available in here, and I also know that, Adobe is working to alleviate some of these " submit" issues, so let's don't start by going backwards, here) I need solutions now for my issues or I can leave it as is, If Adobe's solution will be no better for my end users...
We used FormsCentral to code these forms and it works for the most part (if the end-user can co-operate, and thats iffy, sometimes), but I need help with how to make it go through your servers (and not the third party folks we use now), Not being cruel or racist here, but your over the phone "support techs" are about horrible & I cannot understand them or work with any of them, so I would definitely need someone who speaks English and can understand the nuances of programming these forms, to please contact me back. (Sorry, but both those attributes will be required to be able to help me, so, no "newbie-interns" or first week trainees are gonna cut it).... If you have anyone who fits the bill on those items and would be willing to help us, please contact me back at your earliest convenience. If we have to communicate here, I will do that & I can submit whatever we need to & to whoever we need to.
I need to get this right and working for the majority of my users and on any platform and OS.
You may certainly call me to talk about this, and I have given my number numerous times to your (expletive deleted) time wasting - recording message thingy. So, If it's not available look it up under [email protected]
(and you will probably get right to me, unlike my and I'm sure most other folks', "Adobe phone-in experiences")
Thank You,

Well, thanks for writing back...just so you know...I started using Adobe products in 1987, ...yeah...back then...like Illustrator 1 & 9" B&W Macs ...John Warnock's Helvetica's....stuff like that...8.5 x 11 LaserWriters...all that good stuff...I still have some of it working on a mac...much of it was stuff I bought. some stuff I did not...I'm not a big fan of this "cloud" thing Adobe has foisted upon the creatives of the world...which I'm sure you can tell...but the functionality and usefulness of your software can not be disputed, so feel free to do whatever we will continue to pay for, ...I am very impressed with CC PS on the 64 bit PC and perhaps I will end up paying you the stipend that you demand for the other services.
So I guess that brings us to our problem.. a few years back and at the height of the recession and near bankruptcy myself, I was damn lucky and hit on something and began a small arts and crafts supply service to sell my products online to a very "niche market" ...I had a unique product and still sell that product (plus others) online...My website is www.vinylcouture.com...Strange? Yes...but there is a market it seems, for everything now, and this is the market I service...Catagorically, these are 99%+ women that use these "adhesive, sticky backed vinyl products" to make different "craft items" that are just way too various and numerous to go into... generally older women, women who are computer illiterate for the most part...and all this is irrelevant to my problem, but I want you to have every bit of background on this and especially the demographic we are dealing with, so we can get right to the meat of the problem.
OK...So about two years ago, I decided to offer a "plain sheet" product of a plain colored "stick back" vinyl... it is available in multiple quantities of packs ( like 5 pieces, 10 pieces, 15 pieces, in a packi & so on)...and if you are still on my site.. go to any "GO RIGHT TO OUR ORDER PAGE" button, scroll down a little...and then to the "PLAIN VINYL" section...you will see the Weebly website order process.) You can back out from here, I think,..but, anyway this product is available in 63 colors + or - a few. So then the problem is, how do they select their individual colors within that (whatever) pack?... .
So my initial idea was to enable a "selection form" for these "colors" that would be transmitted to me via email as 'part" of the "order process".. We tried getting our customers to submit a " a list" ( something my competitiors still do, lol, poor bastards)......but that..is just unbelievable..I can't even begin to tell you what a freakin' nightmare that was...these people cannot even count to 10, much less any higher... figuring out what colors to list and send me... well, lets just say, it wasn't working......I had to figure out a better way...Something had to be done.
So after thinking this all out, and yeah...due to my total ignorance, i figured that we could make a form with Live Cycle Designer (Now Forms Central)...(back then something that was bundled with Adobe Acrobat Pro), I believe, and thats what this thing was authored in... and it would be all good...LOL!
Well not so simple...as you well know, Adobe Acrobat would NOT LET YOU EMAIL anything from itself.....it just wouldn't work (and I know why, and all that hooey), but not being one to take NO for answer,.I started looking for a way to make my little gizmo work.. So I found this company that said they can "hijack" (re-direct actually) the request to email, bypass the wah-wah, and re-transmit it to the proper parties.....for less than $100 a year, I think...its called http://pdf-fillableforms.com/.
A nice gentleman named Joseph Silva helped us program the thing to go to his servers and back out. Please dont hassle them...I need them...for now..it basically does work...try it...you should get back a copy of the form that you filled out...good luck however, if you're on MAC OSX or similar...
I have included a copy of both of our forms (and feel free to fill it out and play with it)...just put test somewhere on it...(and you must include YOUR email or it will balk)..they are supposed to be mostly identical, except one seems to be twice as large....generating a 1.7 meg file upon submission, while the other one only generates a 600K file or so...thats another issue for another day or maybe you can advise on that also...
OK so far so good......In our shop, once Grandma buys a 10 pack (or whatever), Only then she gets to the link on her receipt page ro the relevant "selection form" ,(this prevents "Filling and Sending" with "no order" and "no payment", another early problem we had)... which they can click on and it will usually download and open up on their device if all goes well...Then our little form is supposed to be fillable and is supposed to ADD UP all the quantities, so grandma knows how many she is buying and so forth right on the fly, and even while she changes her mind..., and IT'S LARGE so grandma can see it, and then it TOTALS it all up for them, ( cause remember, they can NOT add).., except there is a programming bug (mouse-click should be a mouse-up probably or something..) which makes you click in the blank spaces to get to a correct TOTAL...about 70-80% of our customers can enable all these features and usually the process completes without problems for them especially on PC's running Windows OS and Acrobat Reader X or XI...at least for most... Unfortunately it is still not the "seamless process" I would like or had envisioned for the other folks out there that do have trouble using our form.... Many folks report to us the following issues that we know of. First of all it takes too much time to load up...We know its HUGE...is there anyway that you can see, to streamline this thing? I would love for it to be more compact...this really helps on the phones and pads as I'm sure you well know.
Some just tell us,"it WON'T work"....I believe this is because they are totally out of it and dont even have Adobe Reader on their machine, & don't know how to get it ( yes, we provide the links).....or it's some ancient version....no one can stop this one...
It almost always generates some kind ( at least one time) of "error message" which we do warn them about..., telling one, basically that "Acrobat doesnt even like this happening at all, and it could be detrimental to ones computer files", blah-blah...(this freaks grandma out really bad)...& usually they end up not even trying to send it... and then I get calls that even you wouldn't believe...& If they DO nut up and push the Red "Submit Form" button, it will usually send the thing to us (and also back to them at the "required email address" they furnished on the form, thats what the folks at the "fillable forms place" do) so, if it's performing it's functions, why it is having to complain?. What are we doing wrong?....and how can I fix it?...Will re-compiling it or saving it as a newer version of "FormsCentral" correct any of these problems ?
Ok, so that should keep you busy for a minute and we can start out with those problems...but the next thing is, how can I take advantage of YOUR re-direct & hosting services?, And will it get rid of the error messages, and the slowness, and the iOS incompatibilities ? (amazingly, the last iOS Reader version worked almost OK.. but the newest version doesnt seem to work with my form on my iphone4) If it will enable any version of the iOS to send my form correctly and more transparently, then it might be worth the money...$14.95 a MONTH you say. hmmmmm...Better be good.
Another problem is, that I really don't need 5000 forms a month submitted. I think its like 70-100 or less....Got any plans for that? Maybe I'm just not BIG ENOUGH to use Adobe's services, however in this case, I really don't care whose I do use as long as the product works most correctly for my customers as well as us. Like I said, If I'm doing the best I can, I won't change anything, and still use the other third party, If Adobe has a better solution, then i'm all for that as well. In the meantime, Thanks for any help you can provide on this...
