  • Is APEX the tool for a lightweight browser based query only front end?

    I'm tasked with prototyping a lightweight browser based front end to display consolidated customer information. It needs to be callable from half a dozen disparate and mostly non-Oracle applications, each passing in a customer id parameter. In my mind I've already marked-down the only front-end tool I have experience of - Forms10g as being too resource intensive to be continually started up and closed down (plus the initial potential JVM download to locked-down PC's). That leaves me with a couple of options (as far as I can see) - APEX or ADF Faces. I'm slightly worried about the steep learning curve for a J2EE environment plus the possible compatibility issues with ie 5.5 ( I know, I know ). And finally, my question - I've got a good feeling about it but does APEX seem like a good fit for this sort of task?

    It needs to be callable from half a dozen disparate and mostly non-Oracle applications, each passing in a customer id parameter. Chris - They want to be able to hit a button in these other applications and see a browser window pop-up (quickly!), view the customer details (composite picture sourced from a data warehouse) then close the browser window and go back to their app. Needs to be lightweight for speed so APEX seemed a good idea.
    Denes - Thanks. I'm thinking that the users will regularly open this browser session from their app then close the APEX window to return - probably time and time again. Did you find that establishing a connection and getting the page up made it slow. Is there something I should concentrate on to make sure that aspect performs?

  • ADF Faces or APEX for a lightweight browser-based front end.

    I'm tasked with prototyping a lightweight browser based front end to display consolidated customer information. It needs to be callable from half a dozen disparate and mostly non-Oracle applications. The idea is that each application will have a button that can kick off a browser session to see a data-warehouse sourced view of a customer. Forms10g (where my experience lies) seems too resource heavy for the constant opening/closing of this little application but APEX looks like a good fit with not too steep a learning curve and the guys on the forum thuoght it was well suited. ADF Faces seems to have a steep learning curve given that I don't have any Java experience but a small view-only app like this might be a good place to gain experience useful for more complex apps. My question is whether ADF Faces is a goot fit for this sort of task. If anyone has used ADF Faces and APEX I'd be very grateful for their thoughts.

    Thanks for those pointers Grant.
    Just a couple of further questions. As a company we're stuck on Internet Explorer 5.5 for another 18 months or so (>5,000desktops!). Does that exclude ADF Faces as an option given the prune-faced geriatric nature of the browser we're using (we're also on NT4.0 :-) Also, they're likely to be in and out of this screen like a fiddler's elbow and I'm wondering if the start-up effort using ADF Faces is likely to be significantly more resource intensive than an APEX equivalent.
    My background is Oracle*Forms (since 2.0) and it would be nice to make a start on a technology that could be used in place of Forms in more complex apps - I just need to be able to justify the likely increased costs to people focused predominantly on this project's costs.

  • Can't eject network volume after extensive browsing

    Hi!
    I have a problem that seem to be related to Mac OS X itself.
    After browsing an AFP network volume for an extended time theres a quite big chance that the volume won't eject properly.
    What happens is that the volume icon vanishes from the desktop but it stays in the side bar of a Finder window.
    Even if one waits for hours it still won't go away and upon clicking on the volume in the sidebar a dialog comes up saying it can't be found.
    I've tried doing "sudo -f umount /Volumes/volumename" but it doesn't do anything.
    If one tries to do a restart the system gets stuck because it can't properly unmount the volume.
    If one force a relaunch of the Finder via the "Force Quit..." menu option in the Apple menu, what happens is that the AFP Client process stalls. It shows up red in Activity Monitor.
    I can reproduce this behavior on several different computers and on G5's browsing the volume sometimes leads to a Kernel Panic involving "vnode_put".
    All machines are running Mac OS X 10.4.8.
    The AFP volume I'm browsing when this happens consists of several folders that contains several .eps images. The file-structure looks like in this screen shot: http://home.mac.se/star-affinity/filestructure.png
    Anyone else recognize this?
    G4 Quicksilver 867 MHz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    The volumes are mounted via the Finder.
    Ok, I'll try remove all the "dot" files I can find, but I can guarantee you it has got nothing to do with the volume not unmounting properly. :P
    No, but seriously, I have made a clean install of the system on both machines and upgraded it to 10.4.8. I then duplicate 4 different .eps files that I copy from a third machine and I duplicate them and make a file structure somewhat like in the screen shot I link to above.
    I then start file sharing on the machine with all the files and use the other to browse this machine. I browse from within the open/save dial of TextEdit.
    I must say I wonder how any hidden files would cause a problem in this case.
    I also wouldn't say that there are many issues with Tiger. It is this thing with network browsing and perhaps some kind of video driver issue that I've posted about here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3302238#3302238
    Otherwise I think it runs great!
    Can't understand why you're still at 10.3.9.
    Anyway, thanks for trying to help!

  • Sharing network via Airport, can browse but no mail, smtp or pop3

    I have the G5 connected via ethernet to the router box they gave me, fine mail and browsing are super duper, So now I have the Laptop G4 (Both on 10.4.7)
    On the G5 I crated a network and enabled internet sharing in system prefs using Airport (No airport base stations, just the computer to computer) On the G4 I joined the network, and could not get to any web sites, Ahhh Little Snitch! So I turned off little snitch on the G5 and low and behold the G4 now has splendid access with safari, I am actually on the G4 penning this. But I want to use only the G4 to send and receive mails (The G4 is with me all the time, and the mails get so far out of sync) But the .mac and my 4 pop3 mail boxes all time out. Is it possible to access mail through the shared connection? Thanks Jed

    I don't know if you have solved your problem but I think I can help you. I will keep it simple because you seem to know what is plotting.
    1. On your G4 laptop, open your system prefs and go to 'Sharing',
    2. Now, click on the 'Firewall' tab. To your right, click on the button labeled 'New'.
    3. On the sheet displayed, the first dropdown list is pre-sellected as 'CVS', sellect it end change it to 'Other'.
    3.1. Now your fields will activate for input. In the field labeled 'TCP Port Number', type '110' (this is the default port number for POP and POP3).
    3.2. In the last field labeled 'Description', type your own descroption like 'POP3 port for G4' (just an idea). Save your settings by pressing the 'OK' button.
    You should now be ready to retrieve your messages using your chosen mail app.
    Follow the same instructions as above to open a SMTP port, but this time type '25' in the field labeled 'TCP Port Number'.
    Give it a meaningfull name like 'SMTP port for G4' (yet another idea). And that is it!
    Hope it was helpfull. Kind regards.

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    Even though two steps are redundant, I suggest the following steps (in order, waiting for success of each before proceeding to the next):
    1) Register HRT
    Homescreen > Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Table > (it does not matter which line is current) > Register Now
    2) Resend Service Books
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    3) Batt Pull Reboot
    Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then it sadly remains up to your carrier to resolve as they are the ones who deliver your services to you...
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Connected to Network, how to add browse point for servers

    A little help please,
    I have my Playbook properly connected to my network. I want to be able to browse to one of my servers on the network to be able to upload/download files to/from the playbook. I don't want to have to do it through another PC on the network. I want to be able to do it directly from my playbook.
    I have all SMB/CIFS windows shares on my internal network. All of my other devices (computers, media players, other)can browse to any of my servers. I'd like to be able to do the same with my playbook.....
    What would be nice; be able to play any media file from the server. Download a document, work on it and be able to save it on the server. Transfer files to/from server/playbook to take on the go.
    Please, if someone knows how to set this up, submit a step-by-step tutorial with as much info as possible.
    Regards.

     The PlayBook can access files on a Windows computer by using an app called Ghost Commander.  I have not done this myself as I tend to move files to and from the PlayBook over WiFi from my desktop computer.  Whether this would work in accessing a server proper is another matter but it should be possible if it is a Windows server.  The following blog discusses how to set up the PlayBook and computer to allow the PlayBook to browse and transfer files:
    Browsing network shares on the PlayBook Blog
    There may be better experts in this forum who can shed some light on the matter.

  • No Network Drive in Media Browser

    We have a server that runs to both Macs and PCs in our studio, the PCs having been just installed. When cutting on a Mac, we can see our server in the Media Browser and reconnect unlinked footage when necessary. However, on the PCs, we can not see the server in Media Browser and any files offline can not be found/reconnected via Media Browser.  Any ideas on this issue? Being primarily a Mac user, I have a feeling this is a simple fix that I'm missing, but can't figure out. Thank you! FYI we are working off CC with latest updates.
    EDIT: Let me add that we can edit with footage off the server bringing it in from Explorer.

    We are ok on the Mac side, it's the PCs with the issue. We can connect to the server fine via explorer but it won't show up in the Media Browser in PP. The server is Linux based if that has any bearing...

  • Windows computers on the network disappeared from the browser

    I own a macbook pro 10.6.4 and in the office we have an imac and 7 windows 7 pc. Till last week I could able to see all the computers on the network under "Shared" and able to connect them. Office printer is shared via one of the pc thats why I cannot add it to use. I can connect them with "connect server" by using their ip or names. Also I can only see imac under "Shared". How can I be able to see all the computers under "Shared" again and add the printer. Thank you.

    nothing. all the computers except imac disappeared suddenly. it happened once a couple of weeks again but it lasted like a day.

  • PC laptop connects to Imac's airport network, but can't browse internet

    Hi there,
    I've got a new early 2008 iMac with inbuilt Airport and I'm trying to use the in-built airport to create a wireless network with my windows based PC laptop.
    Before getting the iMac this year I had an old 2000 eMac and a Netgear router that I used to connect my PC to the internet wirelessly. It worked perfectly after I set it all up using the Router login page.
    But now using the in-built Airport, the PC can go as far as connecting to the iMac's internet connection, but whenever I try to view a page on Firefox or IE, I get an "address not found" page. And yes, I've got my Firefox's network connection settings set to "auto-detect proxy settings for this network".
    Is there something wrong with my Airport, or are there some fundamental setup steps I need to go through in setting up the network?
    This is what I did to set up my Airport network: I chose Create Network from the Airport pulldown menu, then gave it a name, with the channel set to Automatic (11). I've chosen a 5 ascii character WEP password. Then when I connect on my PC laptop for the first time, it sees the SSID, then asks for the network key. I enter it, it spends about 3 minutes trying connect to the iMac, and finally it says Connected, with a signal strength of excellent.
    This is all well and good, but as I said, as soon as I try to access the internet, it fails with a broken page. Even though it says "connected" as the wireless status.
    The same happens when I set up a new network using this time a 13 ascii character WEP password.
    Is it in fact possible to connect to the in-built Airport using a PC, or do I need to get a new external router. Seems a bit of a waste...
    Any help much appreciated!
    Lachlan

    Hi Duane, thanks for your reply.
    I did as you said. I opened Sharing preferences, selected share your connection from Ethernet to computers using Airport. I then set up a new network with new WEP password, but unfortunately my PC won't connect at all to it. After I hit the connect button, it tries for a while, then I get the message "Windows is unable to connect to the selected network..."
    Is it because I've said to connect to computers using Airport? Only one computer's got airport and that is the iMac that I'm trying to connect the PC to.
    A reply above says I still need a router - is that the case? I thought the iMac's built in Airport effectively acts as a router.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • Lightweight browser?

    Hi folks
    I looked at Activity monitor while running Safari3 on the iBook, as my son complained that an internet game (Runescape - a java based game) was slow compared to the MacBook Pro (duh, of course it's slower!). Activity Monitor showed the CPU running at capacity while on Runescape. I was curious about whether there was a browser that I could use that was lighter on the CPU. Maxxing the RAM has helped, as there was still some unused!
    I Googled, but wondered whether this forum might give a more reliable answer?
    Anyway, best wishes for the holiday season, and I look forward to the replies.

    I have noticed that Firefox is not usually as big a memory hog as Safari.
    It may help to close all other applications excepting the browser he's trying to play the game in. If that doesn't help, restarting the iBook before launching the browser and loading the game may help.
    As alternative browsers, you can try Camino, Opera, SeaMonkey, OmniWeb, or Shiira.
    The iBook G3 500 MHz came out in 2001, so you are looking at a six-year-old computer and it's not going to run all of the newest things, obviously.
    I've got a 12" iBook G3 600. It got noticeably slow trying to process complex Java or Flash browser embedded applications. The complexity of the embedded application is going to be the reason for maxing out CPU usage and not the browser. It probably would help to close as many applications as possible, but the machine just isn't well suited for many more recent Java application.
    It's also a little bit flaky with AirPort, but I hardly used it after getting my 14" iBook G4 1.42. That was considerably faster, and even that's outdated compared to my new Santa Rosa MacBook.

    I am with ROGERS service provider. They have not been very helpful with my issue. 
    All they try and do is sell me a data plan. 
    They said call RIM. 
     I should be able to connect to a WiFi network and access the internet without paying any crooks to do so shouldn't I?  Can someone tell me how I can do it?

    Can't anybody help answer???? I guess I will have to call RIM for tech support via telephone....If I do get favorable resolution I will post the answer to my question.....

  • Unable to browse the internet even though I'm connected the network

    I have a new iMac. I can connect to my wireless network via Airport. I can print to my wireless printer but I cannot connect to the internet using a browser (Safari or Firefox). I can ping (e.g., Google.com)successfully but can't connect via a browser. I can connect to a neighbor's unsecured network and browse the internet at will. I have WPA security activated. I have 3 PC's on my home wireless network that connect to the internet with no problem.
    I've been on the phone with both Apple and Belkin support all weekend. Apparently the router is working. Apple support has not been able to diagnose my problem. The latest suggestion by Apple technical support is to install Snow Leopard and see what happens.
    Has anyone encountered this issue before? I'm new to the iMac world. Always been a PC guy so I'm having difficulty understanding why I can connect to my network but can't browse.

    That's interesting I have a similar issue, the wireless suddenly stopped working for me.
    I get an IP address assigned, my /etc/resolv.conf file is updated correctly to DNS and I have a properly configured gateway yet I can't ping anything.
    This only started happening recently as well.
    It is odd that you can ping an address but not surf, have you tried disabling WPA security on your router and seeing if that makes a difference?

  • Cannot browse Windows networks in Leopard

    In Tiger, I could click the Network icon and get the Windows domains listed for me. Of course, there was an issue in that it would only show the first 1500+ domains, ending somewhere in the Ms when I needed the Ts but at least I could browse the many and varied domains we have here.
    Now, I find no option or way to browse the Windows domains. I can choose Connect to server from Finder but if I choose Browse, it only takes me to the standard Finder window with no network means to really browse.
    Overall, I like Leopard but there are some definite steps backward. Any ideas on how I can browse the Windows domains or is this another feedback item for Apple?

  • AirPort Extreme on a Network Requiring Web Browser Login

    I was looking into purchasing one of the new AirPort Extreme routers to use in my dorm. My school requires you to log in to its network through a web browser the first time you connect before you can gain any network or internet access. After you log in once your MAC address is stored and you are given an IP and allowed to access the network. My current Linksys wired router passes this page through to connected clients without a problem, but I tried using an older graphite AirPort base and it would not pass the page through and my MacBook Pro was unable to connect to the college network through it. My question is will the new AirPort Extremes pass this login page through and allow my Macbook Pro to login to the network through Safari?

    That would make sense on most networks as you want the school's main router to only "see" one device, the router in your room. Then you can have your router assign IP addresses to as many devices as you want and the school's router still only "sees" one device.
    If you configure your router as a bridge, then the school's router will be assigning IP addresses to each device connected to the router, probably not what you want.
    The default mode for the AirPort Extreme is to act as a router. It will assign IP addresses in the 10.0.x.x range by default, but you can set it to assign IP's in the 192.168.x.x range if you prefer. You will probably get a Double NAT notice when you hook the router up. Click "ignore" and the message will go away.
    I use an AirPort Express quite a bit for travel. If the hotel has an ethernet port, I can plug in and hook up 2-3 wireless devices and pay for only one connection.
    Nothing is ever certain. If you go with the AirPort Extreme, might be a good idea to check the store's return policy...just in case.
