Need the career suggestion for Java developer

Dear all,
I am a programmer with four years experience in webMethods integration. I am also good at Oracle PL/SQL, XML and Java.
So, here is my question, shall I study for an ABAP certification and begin to look for an ABAP job? or, based on my background, I should try to get a Netweaver Java Certification and try to move to portal development or SAP XI?
Regards,
Mike

hi mike,
Its good u have such a good experience in webmethods and oracle/pl-sql and also java. i feel abap would be much better option to move on to.
ABAP is sap custom language, and it would always be preferred more over everthing else, and apart from that certified abapers are still very few, while compare that with java, which is at peak in the job market,and flodded with java proffesionals.
And as u have previous experience getting through abap certification wont be tough.Happy abap programing.......!!!!
Best of luck

Where is the wscompile utility for Java Web Services Developer Pack 2.0?

Hi. I am running Ubuntu Linux 7.04. I downloaded and installed tomcat 5.0 for WSDP and then WSDP 2.0. I did so because I am trying to use the wscompile utility to generate the WSDL and JAX-RPC mapping files so that I can create a simple example web service. (It doesn't seem like I should need the tomcat container for this, but the installation was prompting for a web container, so I supplied one).
My problem is that there is no wscompile file anywhere in the installation. I have read some other posts, and it seems as though the utility should be there. I looked inside the /jsdp-shared/bin directory of the installation, but there is nothing there.
I ran locate wscompile and find wscompile*, but nothing shows up. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks so much.

Just to clarify, when I said there is nothing in the /jsdp-shared/bin directory, I just meant that the wscompile utility that I am looking for is not there. There are multiple scripts in this directory. I also encountered no problems when I installed WSDP 2.0 via the gui screen.
Thanks.

Oracle database 11g certification for Java developer

Hello,
I'm Java developer, OCPJP 6 ( Oracle Certified Professional, Java Programmer +6+ ) and
I decided to pass exams: 1Z0-051 and 1Z0-052 to get OCA ( Oracle Database +11g+ Administrator Certified Associate ) certificate,
but I need some advice, maybe i should seek other certificate, that would be more valuable for Java developer, than OCA.
Thanks for advice.

The answer of whether a particular certification is valuable depends on you, not the tests themselves. The Oracle Certified Master for example is an extremely prestigious certification, and I have considered seeking it at some point in the future to improve my professional credentials. However, the same certification would have absolutely no value to my wife, because she's a homemaker with no interest or intent of ever working with Oracle.
Using an example a little closer to yours, only reversed --- I work as a DBA and PL/SQL developer. On several occasions I have dabbled with Java, and took a couple of classes when I worked for Oracle. I could code in Java if I had to, but wouldn't really be good without a lot of practice. However, I've never really had a sufficient need in my work to dig in and really practice enough to use it. I considered going for the Oracle Java certifications as a means of kick-starting that and getting to the point where it was really a viable option in my development. Ultimately I decided not to because I've been working with Oracle for better than fifteen years and there has never been an occasion where I really felt a need to know Java. If I were to spend a bunch of time improving my Java skills just for the certification, there's no guarantee I would ever use them after that.
Coming back to you -- if you already need SQL and DBA skills in your work, then those certifications should be of value to you immediately. If you think that you might work (or want to work) more with SQL and DBA-level skills in the future, then they should be of value to you in the future. If you won't use the skills now or ever, then the exams do nothing but add a line to your resume (which still has value, but you must determine how much).

Database access tool for Java Development

Hi,
A couple of days back, our SAP's database (MSSQL) was corrupted and downed the Java Stack.
During the Java development, normally after a newly created table was deployed via Java Dictionary, Java developer will access the database via the MSSQL Enterprise Manager to view/delete/update data. Unlike the ABAP development, all database access was done via SE16 in SAPGUI. It was believed that the Java Development kind of direct access to the database via the MSSQL Enterprise Manager was causing some MSSQL tables to be corrupted, and thus downed the Java Stack.
1. Is there any tool like SE16 to access database during the Java Development?
2. If no, what kind of recommendation/tool to access database for Java Development?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
julius

Julius,
There are no industry recommended open source DB tools.
Normally it depends upon the developer preferences that how he/she wants to see the tool usability.
I can suggest you to go through the below link:
http://sourceforge.net/search/?type_of_search=soft&words=SQL+Tools
You can find many open source SQL tools, which you have to test and select one among them.
I can suggest you to use:
1) TOra
2) Easy SQL
3) SQuirrel
"Choose a Tool which is easy to use and efficient, Dont worry about Look n Feel"

Source Code Control for Java development in 6.20

I am new to Java development. How do you control source code (versioning/transport) for Java development with the base R/3 is 6.20. I believe Java Development Infrastructure (JDI) is only available in 6.40. Is this the correct statement? Anyone that has work on 6.40 with Java can explain?
Let say we have this setup:
Applications are in 6.20
Portal will be EP 6.0
Do we need Web AS 6.40 to develop Java for Portal with base R/3 of 6.20. Or we can use Developer Studio to create Java accessing R/3 6.20 and display in Portal 6.0. If this is the case, how do you manage transport is you are not using JDI in 6.40.

Hi Nablan,
I believe you are development J2EE applications. JDI only runs with WebAS 6.40 which supports J2EE spec. 1.3. The developed J2EE archive will not be able to deploy to WebAS 6.20 which only supports J2EE 1.2 spec. So if you want to deploy the created software build from JDI and deploy it to WebAS 6.20, then the answer is unfortunately no.
But, if you just want the Portal be able to display your application in an iView inside, then maybe you can just develop and deploy your application to the WebAS 6.40 system. Then create an iView in your EP to point to the app in the 6.40 system. That way your app will not need to deploy to WebAS 6.20.
Regards,
Marc

I need the Log Report for the Data which i am uploading from SAP R/3.

Hi All,
I am BI 7.0 Platform with Support Patch 20.
I need the Log Report for the Data which i am uploading from SAP R/3.
I extract the DATA from R/3 into BI 7.0 DSO where I am mapping the GL Accounts with the FS Item. In the Transformation i have return a routine on the FS Item InfObject . I am checking the Gl code into Z table for the FS Item .
I capture the FS item from the Z table then update this FS item to Infobject FS item.
Now i need to stop the Data upload if i do not find the GL code in the Z table, and generate report for all GL code for which the FS item is not maintained in the Z table.
Please suggest.
Regards
nilesh

Hi.
Add a field that you will use to identify if the GL account of the record was found in the Z table or not. Fx, create ZFOUND with length 1 and no text.
In your routine, when you do the lookup, populate ZFOUND with X when you found a match (sy-subrc = 0) and leave it blank if you don't find a match. Now create a report filtering on ZFOUND = <blank> and output the GL accounts. Those will be the ones not existing in the Z table, but coming in from your transactions.

Jacob

How to create a report with data using the Crystal Reports for Java SDK

Hi,
How do I create a report with data that can be displayed via the Crystal Report for Java SDK and the Viewers API?
I am writing my own report designer, and would like to use the Crystal Runtime Engine to display my report in DHTML, PDF, and Excel formats. I can create my own report through the following code snippet:
ReportClientDocument boReportClientDocument = new ReportClientDocument();
boReportClientDocument.newDocument();
However, I cannot find a way to add data elements to the report without specifying an RPT file. Is this possible? I seems like it is since the Eclipse Plug In allows you to specify your database parameters when creating an RPT file.
is there a way to do this through these packages?
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.data
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.definition
Am I forced to create a RPT file for the different table and column structures I have?
Thank you in advance for any insights.
Ted Jenney

Hi Rameez,
After working through the example code some more, and doing some more research, I remain unable to populate a report with my own data and view the report in a browser. I realize this is a long post, but there are multiple errors I am receiving, and these are the seemingly essential ones that I am hitting.

com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKException: java.lang.NullPointerException---- Error code:-2147467259 Error code name:failed
There was other sample code on SDN which suggested the following - adding the table after calling table.setDataFields() as in:
          String tableName = "Building";
            String fieldname = "Building_Name";
            Table oTable = new Table();
            oTable.setName(tableName);
            oTable.setAlias(tableName);
            oTable.setQualifiedName(tableName);
            oTable.setDescription(tableName) ;
            Fields fields = new Fields();
            DBField field = new DBField();
            field.setDescription(fieldname);
            field.setHeadingText(fieldname);
            field.setName(fieldname);
            field.setType(FieldValueType.stringField);
            field.setLength(40);
            fields.add(field);
            oTable.setDataFields(fields);
            oTable.setConnectionInfo(oConnectionInfo);
            rcd.getDatabaseController().addTable(oTable, null);
This code succeeds, but it is not clear how to add that database field to a section. If I attempt to call the following:
FieldObject oFieldObject = new FieldObject();
            oFieldObject.setDataSourceName(field.getFormulaForm());
            oFieldObject.setFieldValueType(field.getType());
            // Now add it to the section
            oFieldObject.setLeft(3120);
            oFieldObject.setTop(120);
            oFieldObject.setWidth(1911);
            oFieldObject.setHeight(226);
            rcd.getReportDefController().getReportObjectController().add(oFieldObject, rcd.getReportDefController().getReportDefinition().getDetailArea().getSections().getSection(0), -1);
Then I get an error (which is not unexpected)
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportDefControllerException: The field was not found.---- Error code:-2147213283 Error code name:invalidFieldObject
How do I add one of the table.SetDataFields() to my report to be displayed?
Are there any other pointers or suggestions you may have?
Thank you

" Why not Emacs Be the best editor for java"

hai friends,
iam using emacs editor for java. i think it is the best editor for java available
for free of cost.
we can easily customize it based on ur needs
we can even customize the compilation and run option with single key stroke.
and it has many interesting and useful features like shell, bsh, cvs customization,telnet
and a lot more....
many software concerns had made emacs as thier offical java editor
i donot think anybody in this world who had used the emacs will go for some other editor
and i do want to know from u all that whether i was wrong . and
is there any other editor which can be better than emacs
if so give me valid reasons
get back to me if u are not aware of emacs features
regards
g.kamal

I agree with you 100% on linux side, but in
windows(tm) there are even better editors. I
personally use MED in windows. After trying dozens of
different editors in linux I ended up using emacs, it
sure is the best editor in linux (for Java atleast).
There are still some things bugging me, for an example
I would like the "end" button to move the cursor to
the end of the line instead of EOF.
I donot understand why ur saying that the "end" button is not moving the cursor to the
end of the line
it works fine in my machine
plz elaborate what more features u want, bcas it may be there in emacs , but u may not have that
much awareness in it.

What the Enviroment required for java databases programs?

Hi guys
What the enviroment required for java databases programs?
If I have oracle of version 9i and java 1.4.1 platform
do I need Jdeveloper platform ?

What the enviroment required for java databases programs?What do you mean by "environment"?
f I have oracle of version 9i and java 1.4.1 platformYou just need to download Oracle's 9i JDBC driver (ojdbc14.jar) and put that in your CLASSPATH. Then write JDBC code to connect to Oracle and issue SQL commands.
do I need Jdeveloper platform ?No, JDeveloper is an IDE. Not required.
Why Java 1.4.1? We're up to Java 6 now. You're two major versions of the JDK behind.

How to create the exe files for java application

How to create the exe file for java application?
got any software to do that?
Thanks

In terms of converting java applications into exe files, there are 3 schools of thought:
1) Instead of converting it to an exe, convert it to a jar file. Jar files are more portable than exe files because they can be double-clicked on any operating system. The caveat is that a Java interpreter must be installed on the target computer for the double-clicking to work.
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/Books/javaprogramming/JAR/
2) Create an exe launcher that, when double-clicked, attempts to find a Java interpreter on the local computer and launches the Java application. The exe file is still double-clickable but whether your java application runs depends on whether a Java interpretor is installed on the target computer.
http://www.sureshotsoftware.com/exej/
http://www.objects.com.au/products/jstart/index.jsp
http://www.duckware.com/products/javatools.html

http://www.rolemaker.dk/nonRoleMaker/javalauncher/
http://www.jelude.cjb.net/
http://thor.prohosting.com/~dfolly/java/index.html
3) Create an exe launcher that bundles a Java interpretor. Same as above but when the exe file is double-clicked, it searches for a Java interpreter and if one is not found, it installs one on the target computer. The caveat is that the exe file would have an overhead of 10 MB in size for the interpreter.
http://www.excelsior-usa.com/jet.html (evaluation version available)
4) Convert the Java application into a native exe file. The caveat is that if you use Swing for your GUI, it won't be converted. Also this option is still somewhat experimental.
Can't think of any free options right now.

On iPhoto, I can no longer access the 'Classic' option which would lay out my photos on the page. It will send them as attachments only. I need the page layout for my work. Any thoughts as to why this has changed?

On iPhoto, I can no longer access the 'Classic' option which would lay out my photos on the page. It will send them as attachments only. I need the page layout for my work. Any thoughts as to why this has changed? It used to fully lay out the photos so I could add notes and detailed information before I sent them. I am thinking it is something simple that I have just missed...

The "Photos" view has been replaced by the Media Browser.
Most applications will show you the Photos icon in the Sidebar, when you need to select photos in a file chooser dialoge. Mail, Safari, the iWork apps. See Terence Devlin's User Tip: How to Access Files in iPhoto
For example, in the File > Open dialogue in Preview I am seeing this in the sidebar.
