Newbie help with 12i and firefox java issue

We are in the testing stages for a 12i upgrade. I’m currently testing browser and java version compatibility using an upgraded test system. My problem is the version of java on the desktop client. IE7 will launch the apps fine with any version of java. However, any version of Firefox (including just released v3) will not launch java unless java version 5 update 13 is loaded. I’ve reviewed several metalink docs including 389422.1 and 393931.1 and have used the workaround listed forcing FF to use the older version of java. However, that means that we will have to roll out this older version of java to all clients to use Firefox. During my research I found where Oracle provides a techstack update for 11i (290807.1) that will fix this issue and allow Firefox to work with newer versions of java. Has anyone else run into this issue and if so how did you address it? Is there a 12i update that will fix this issue? I’m a newbie that’s started supporting Oracle, etc. so forgive me for any ignorance I show on the subject. Thanks in advance.

Tod,
It sounds like your Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 instance is configured to request end-users to use JRE 1.5.0_13.
Firefox has a known limitation (or feature, depending on your point of view): it will invoke only the specified JRE version requested by the E-Business Suite, even if later versions of the JRE (e.g. 1.6.0_03) are installed on the same desktop.
This behaviour is explained in more detail in Note 290807.1 in Appendix A. Since this behaviour is hardcoded into Firefox, your options are:
1. Configure your Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 environment to request a later version of JRE installed on your Firefox-equipped desktops
2. Use IE -- it doesn't enforce static versioning.
3. Contact the Mozilla team and request that they provide a new option to use either static versioning (the status quo) or the latest JRE version installed on the desktop.
Regards,
Steven

Newbie Help with videocameras and editing software

I am a third grade teacher who can whip around in imovie pretty well, but I want to expand and post training videos to the web. I also want to vodcast. I need a relatively easy videocamera, and of course, reasonably priced. I don't understand all the mumbo jumbo about the dvd, tape, flash videocameras except to know that some are not compatible with osx.
Also would I be better off with Final Cut Pro Express?
Help to a newbie...

OK now I am looking and I want this camera to be compatible with imovie also. On the Apple support page along side the Canon's I am looking at I see:
Video stabilization limitations more...
Filming in Cinema or 24p mode more...
What? Goodness could this be anymore complicated?
It's very intimidating at first. The short answer is that all this is compatible with iMovie.
The longer one is:
The number refers to frames per second (frame rate, in the jargon). Cine cameras run at 24 frames per second, so 24 fps is considered to give a look to moving objects similar to what you'd see in a filmed movie (think wagon wheels appearing to go backwards in old westerns).
p refers to progressive, and means that you're getting 24 complete frames each second - again like film (this idea of mimicking film is the holy grail to some video makers - I say video is video, and should be treated like video). The opposite of progressive is i, for interlaced. Interlacing is a technique used in television since the early days as a way of giving you a better looking TV picture; in interlacing, instead of looking at each frame as a whole, you split it into very narrow lines, then scan al the odd ones, followed by all the even ones. In the old days, the scanning had to be linked to the way in which the electricity supply worked, so scanning was based on a frequency of 60 cycles per second (in the USA).
So in video, you will see camcorders offering a frame rate of 60i as standard - i.e. 60 interlaced frames in one second.. They usually also offer 30p (which combines the results of 2 60i scans to give you 30 complete frames. And then as you've seen, 24p so you can make it look like film.
You can shoot good movies in any of those frame rates; which ones you choose are up to you, but they're all used by many people for many different purposes. Some people will tell you you must use frame rate x for subject y. Listen, but don't follow blindly - try it out and see what works for you.
The issue you will sometimes here debated about iMovie is how to take video you have shot interlaced, and get iMovie to export it as progressive, but still in high quality. Don't worry about that right now.
Just get a camcorder you like, and make some movies. First feel really proud of them, then learn some more, and feel embarrassed by them (this is what we all do!).
Hope that helps.

Need Help with Signal and No Service Issue

I switched out my phone Saturday after Genius ran diagnostic and said it was a hardware issue dropping so many calls. I also got a new Sim card in the newest series. I was feeling good and confident until I went to work and the signal dropped to No Service and remained that way all day. I called At&t and was treated rather rudely by a supervisor, who said that maybe I should find a different carrier, because I seem to be a problem customer. (I guess for reporting issues.) I don't know what to do anymore. He told me to take the replacement back to Apple and have them test it again. Can anyone help me?

Try th steps provided in the article below:
iPhone: Troubleshooting No Service
If after following the steps in the article the issue remains then make sure you back up your iPhone and as you said book an appointment at an Apple Store to have the iPhone evaluated.

Java Plug-in / JSObject support with IE and Firefox

Hi there,
Basicaly, the idea behind is to write objects in Java to replace or extend functionnalities of a web page (like XMLHttpRequest object). Those objects should support event handler writen in Javascript.
My first idea was to create JavaBeans and instantiate them through OBJECT tags in HTML (not as ActiveX objects). I don't find a way to instatiate a Javabean which was not also an applet.
Does someone knows how to ?
Anyway, the OBJECT tag may not work with Netscape. So, I went to use the APPLET tag with the Sun Java Plug-in.
I've made some tests with IE and Firefox and there is at least two differences between them (both use the Sun Java Plug-in) :
1/ Firefox / JSObject
When you pass a Javascript object to a Java method, it seems that you
cannot use methods like 'getMember', 'call', etc on this object.
(invocation of the method works but returns null)
But, if you access the same object form inside Java starting by
JSObject.getWindows(...) and so on, it works fine.
IE works in all cases.
Example, with the Java applet and HTML below :
. Java applet :
| package JavaJS;
|
| import netscape.javascript.*;
|
| public class FirefoxApplet
|        extends java.applet.Applet {
|   netscape.javascript.JSObject win = null;
|
|   public void init() {
|     win = netscape.javascript.JSObject.getWindow(this);
|   }
|
|   public Object getJSObjectMember( netscape.javascript.JSObject jso, String member ) {
|     return jso.getMember(member);
|   }
|
|   public netscape.javascript.JSObject getJSObjectFromPath( String jsoPath ) {
|     String [] jsoNames = jsoPath.split("\\.");
|     netscape.javascript.JSObject jso = win;
|
|     for( int i = 0; ( i < jsoNames.length ); i++ )
|       jso = (netscape.javascript.JSObject)jso.getMember(jsoNames);
|
| return jso;
| }
|
| public Object getJSObjectPathMember( String jsoPath, String member ) {
| return getJSObjectMember(getJSObjectFromPath(jsoPath),member);
| }
| }

When the HTML page has loaded, a click on the Go button gives :
. Firefox output :

| null
| object o, member s
| object o.o, member s
| null
| null
. IE output :
| object o, member s
| object o.o, member s
| object o, member s
| object o.o, member s
| object o, member s
| object o.o, member s
2/ Internet Explorer / JSObject
As we have seen in the previous example, passing Javascript object to
an applet method works. Here, the problem comes when a Javascript object
is pass to a method that's not an applet's method.
If within the applet, you instantiate a new Java object and then
call from Javascript a method on this object with a Javascript object as
parameter then an Exception is raised when invoking that method.
Firefox works fine here.
Example, with the Java applet and HTML page below :
. Java applet :
| package JavaJS;
|
| public class IEApplet extends java.applet.Applet {
|
|   public void init() {
|   }
|
|   public Object echo( Object object ) {
|     return object;
|   }
|
|   public Object newEcho() {
|     return new Echo();
|   }
| }
. Java Echo class
| package JavaJS;
|
| public class Echo {
|
|   public Echo() {
|   }
|
|   public Object echo(Object object) {
|     return object;
|   }
| }

Anyway, my questions are : regarding points 1/ and 2/ are these bugs with the Sun Java Plug-in ? or someone could explain these behaviors ?
Thanks for your reading.

Problems with Safari and Firefox (HTTP?)

Problems with Safari and Firefox (HTTP?)
On a laptop G4, 10.5.8 and Safari 5.02 I experience the following:
On the account of my oldest daughter everything works fine, i.e. wireless internet works and no problems with mail or safari.
On the same laptop, on the account of my other daughter, the wireless is OK, she can mail etc. But safari nor firefox works. It says: can’t find server (whatever site) and in the activity window it looks if safari tries to open files (in the safari preferences-folder) in stead of http. Same applies to Firefox, so maybe it has more to do with HTTP in general?
What goes wrong? What to do? I tried the following on the host terminal (tips from Apple)
defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean false
and
defaults delete com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled
but that did not help,
Nanne

I'm still wondering why it happens now at this moment in time...
PC does seem to be a bit odd & inconsistent, the few times I've tested with it, at least so far as we content filtering goes; and if I remember rightly, you're not the first to report previously ok settings suddenly preventing some or all internet until pc is switched off altogether.
It may work when re-enabled

Help with writing and retrieving data from a table field with type "LCHR"

Hi Experts,
I need help with writing and reading data from a database table field which has a type of "LCHR". I have given an example of the original code but don't know what to change it to in order to fix it and still read in the original data that's stored in the LCHR field.
Basically we have two Function modules, one that saves list data to a database table and one that reads in this data. Both Function modules have an identicle table which has an array of fields from type INT4, CHAR, and type P. The INT4 field is the first one.
Incidentally this worked in the 4.7 non-unicode system but is now dumping in the new ECC6 Unicode system.
Thanks in advance,

ENDLOOP.

Hi Anuj,
The unicode flag is active.
When I run our report and then to try and save the list data a dump is happening at the following point
LOOP AT T_TAB into L_WA.
As I say, T_TAB consists of different fields and field types whereas L_WA is CHAR 800. The dump mentions UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE
When I try to load a saved list the dump is happening at the following point
APPEND T_DATA-RAWDATA to T_TAB.
T_DATA-RAWDATA is type LCHR and T_TAB consists of different fields and field types.
In both examples the dumps mention UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE

SSL certificate not valid in Safari, but webservice works with Chrome and Firefox

As a MD, I'm used to check blood results online on the service
https://inet.zentral-labor.ch/c16/kunweb.dll - this is the online-portal of my laboratory medica in Zurich. http://www.medica.ch
Access to the loginscreen is public ;-) and should look like this (Screenshot from Firefox)
I've setup a new workstation 3 weeks ago (iMac with OS Lion 10.7.4), and this webservice service works fine till yesterday. Now, Safari is every time we try to reach the service telling us, that this service needs a certificate, we can choose only a default apple certificate
and then, the error is:
This Site needs a valid SSL-Client-Certificate... (Screenshot below)
What's wrong with Safari? With Chrome and Firefox, the webservice works fie without any problems.

Help with count and sum query

Hi I am using oracle 10g. Trying to aggregate duplicate count records. I have so far:
SELECT 'ST' LEDGER,
CASE
WHEN c.Category = 'E' THEN 'Headcount Exempt'
ELSE 'Headcount Non-Exempt'
END
ACCOUNTS,
CASE WHEN a.COMPANY = 'ZEE' THEN 'OH' ELSE 'NA' END MARKET,
'MARCH_12' AS PERIOD,
COUNT (a.empl_id) head_count
FROM essbase.employee_pubinfo a
LEFT OUTER JOIN MMS_DIST_COPY b
ON a.cost_ctr = TRIM (b.bu)
INNER JOIN MMS_GL_PAY_GROUPS c
ON a.pay_group = c.group_code
WHERE a.employee_status IN ('A', 'L', 'P', 'S')
AND FISCAL_YEAR = '2012'
AND FISCAL_MONTH = 'MARCH'
GROUP BY a.company,
b.district,
a.cost_ctr,
c.category,
a.fiscal_month,
a.fiscal_year;
which gives me same rows with different head_counts. I am trying to combine the same rows as a total (one record). Do I use a subquery?

Hi,
Whenever you have a problem, please post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) from all tables involved.
Also post the results you want from that data, and an explanation of how you get those results from that data, with specific examples.

I am trying to combine the same rows as a total (one record). Do I use a subquery?Maybe. It's more likely that you need a different GROUP BY clause, since the GROUP BY clause determines how many rows of output there will be. I'll be able to say more after you post the sample data, results, and explanation.
You may want both a sub-query and a different GROUP BY clause. For example:
WITH    got_group_by_columns     AS
     SELECT a.empl_id
     ,     CASE
                    WHEN c.category = 'E'
              THEN 'Headcount Exempt'
                    ELSE 'Headcount Non-Exempt'
            END          AS accounts
     ,      CASE
                    WHEN a.company = 'ZEE'
                    THEN 'OH'
                    ELSE 'NA'
            END          AS market
     FROM              essbase.employee_pubinfo a
     LEFT OUTER JOIN mms_dist_copy             b ON   a.cost_ctr     = TRIM (b.bu)
     INNER JOIN       mms_gl_pay_groups        c ON   a.pay_group      = c.group_code
     WHERE     a.employee_status     IN ('A', 'L', 'P', 'S')
     AND        fiscal_year           = '2012'
     AND        fiscal_month          = 'MARCH'
SELECT    'ST'               AS ledger
,       accounts
,       market
,       'MARCH_12'          AS period
,       COUNT (empl_id)      AS head_count
FROM       got_group_by_columns
GROUP BY accounts
,            market
;But that's just a wild guess.
You said you wanted "Help with count and sum". I see the COUNT, but what do you want with SUM? No doubt this will be clearer after you post the sample data and results.

Issues with TOR and Firefox

Hello,
I am attempting to use a combination of Vidalia and the Torbutton Firefox extension to access the Tor network. However, every time I do, Firefox refuses to load any pages, stating that it is connected to a proxy that is refusing connections. My operating system is Ubuntu 10.04. Any help with this problem would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Joe
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

I use Tor/Vidalia/Torbutton/Polipio regularly. When I get this message, it is because I am trying to browse normally with the Torbutton enabled (green, Tor is "on") -
Or, I am trying to browse using Tor, it's turned on but Vidalia is not running in the background. If you installed Vidalia so that it does not automatically start when you start Windows, you must manually launch it (I use Start>Program Files>Vidalia Bundle>Vidalia). Give it a few seconds to get connected and then Firefox should work with the TorButton enabled.
In case you do not know, Vidalia launches Tor, and will report if there are any problems with it.
The documentation, tips, FAQs, help, advice and general availability of any practical knowledge on how to use these features is extremely poor, for reasons I am currently being made aware of. Because of this, I am considering starting a Discussion Forum focused primarily on helping people make use of this anonymous browsing technology.
If anyone is interested in assisting with this effort, or has helpful advice, etc... feel free to e-mail me at quickdxtjohnatgmaildxtcom

Help with HTML and JAVA

Hi.
I'll have this question, and can't find the right answer...
Suppose is this site called xyz.com and you need to register to be a member
For simplicity member log-in page is simple...contains only login and password fields(Submit too) in HTML code:
<html>
<body>
<form name="input" action="html_form_action.asp" method="get">
User ID: <input type="text" name="ID" /><br />
Password: <input type="password" name="pwd" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>Will I be able to build a Java application witch will:
1-Send me to this web-page
2-Place my chosen id and password in the right place
3-"Press" Submit button.
So I open this Java Swing application , and Go button will send me to the members page of my xyz.com page.
Thank you for the help.

altisw5 wrote:
Go button will send me to the members page of my xyz.com page.It depends on what you mean by "send me".
If you mean access data on the members page through your program, yes.
If you mean open a browser window to that page, I guess doable but might be tricky (with Robot and stuff).
If you mean physically send you on the internet, no.

Problem with web.show_document with Jinitiator and Firefox

Not sure Firefox 2.0 is officially certified with Forms 9.0.4.1 and Jinitiatorbut regardless we have some users who want to use this combination. Everything seems to work fine except for the calls to web.show_document which opens a new browser window and displays some html etc.
The problem is that even though the client Forms JVM is Jinitiator (1.3.1.18 or .21) when the call to web.show_document occurs somehow the Sun Java Plugin starts and having the two JVM's at once causes a fatal crash in Firefox. Can anyone suggest a way to preven the second JVM from opening?
When the user uses the Sun Plug as the client Forms JVM there is no problem as the second JVM does not open. Unfortunately some users insist on Jinitiator with Firefox hence the problem. -quinn

James,
This whole applet embedded in a browser model for webforms is driving us batty at times. The list of problems includes:
1) Users are constantly tempted by browser controls and accidentally do all sorts of things to get them in trouble. This has included but not limited to using the navigation arrows, jumping off to read their email in the same window as the form and returning to a dead forms session, minimizing, resizing, blurring off to another window and then returning back by clicking on the title bar of the browser and wondering why the form doesn't tab etc.
Sure hobbling the browser by opening with limited functionality is a possibility but not a complete solution.
2) New versions of browsers seem to break something. Both IE 7 and Firefox 2 have their own problems with web.show_document, especially file associations such as CSV and DBF and trying to open things in Excel in IE7.Firefox seems to have less problems for some yet some some oddities like the one that started this thread (and 2.0 opening new windows in tabs by default instead of windows).
3) JVM jigsaw puzzle. Is it Jinit or Sun, which versions? Which combinations of browser version and JVM works.
4) General fragility of the whole architecture. Running a client JVM in a web browser on top of a PC Operating system connectiong to a forms server over a network embedded in a Java Container server on a full blown web server running on a unix operating system is pushing the bubble. Throw in the mix that any of these components can be combined in numerous ways makes one wonder how it works as well as it does.
Still users randomly getting dropped connections to forms server (network gltches?). General sluggishness (poorly written forms?). Periods of users with unduplicatable errors primarily network related it would appear.
General feel that it is not rock solid stable. Perusing metalink documents on performance and tuning gives too much and too general info to troubleshoot so just shrug shoulders and say 'network problem'.
What's the solution? Java webstart would seem to help at least with the browser realted issues but is that supported and documented how to use yet. Also we'd lose web_show_document which is critical (could it be replaced by webutil calls to open browser?).

HELP! SAFARI AND FIREFOX BROWSER ERRORS

Hello,
Im looking for some help with my Mac Book Pro. For the last two weeks Ive been having serious issues with browser errors. I currently use Firefox and Safari. Certain links do not work properly or not at all. I just click and nothing happens. Here is a sample of what is at the bottom of firefox when i click the link : javascript:WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions(new%20Web Form_PostBackOptions("ctl00$ctlPagePlaceHolder$Add ToWatchList2",%20"",%20true,%20"",%20"",%20false,% 20true))
Also, The browsers randomly run like crap. I just went to my sharebuilder account and the web page says this:
This page contains the following errors:
error on line 15 at column 66: EntityRef: expecting ';'
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.
If I use my other MAC Computer no problems at all. Only this one. I just dont get it.
Another thing. Ive been running repair disk permissions and everyday its correcting what appears to be the same errors?
I just updated to Safari 5 and now have more Issues. Some pages dont even Load.
I have Net Barrier 5 and been running it for about a year. Its like all of sudden everything just starting malfunctioning.
Anyone have any Ideas?

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions.....
At least part of the problem, especially since the issue is effecting both browsers, is Net Barrier.
You are already running an operating system that protects your Mac against virus and malware, read here: Snow Leopard Has You Covered
You might want to consider uninstalling NetBarrier software.
Another thing. Ive been running repair disk permissions and everyday its correcting what appears to be the same errors?
Those aren't errors, they are "messages"... if run Disk Utility to repair disk permissions, if you see, "Repair Permissions Complete", that's it. Nothing more to do.
Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing problems if they are outdated. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
Try emptying the Safari cache from the Safari Menu Bar. Safari/Empty Cache. You can also try Resetting Safari from the same menu.
Web pages include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
For Firefox from the Tools menu, select Clear Recent History... .
From the Time range to clear: drop-down menu, select the desired range; to clear your entire cache, select Everything. Click the down arrow next to "Details" to choose what history elements to clear. Click Clear Now.

HELP ! Safari and Firefox keep crashing...

Hi Folks,
... when ever i select a news site, from a discussion forum, like Fox New, News Mx etc. they crash then ask if want to restore them, i go thru the restore process and the program immediately crashes, this just started about 3-4 days ago and i have no idea what to do, can any one help ?

HI,
*"i have no idea what, no intentional down loadings, just the updates from Safari, Apple and Firefox, "*
Try maintenance.
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Mac OS: Web Browser Quits Unexpectedly or Stops Responding
Safari add-ons can cause performance issues or other situations
Also, if you are running Safari in 64 bit mode, try running in 32-bit mode instead. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Quit Safari then relaunch.
If you didn't repair permissions after the updates you mentioned, you should do that.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
Your profile indicates you are running 10.5.7. It's important to keep your system software up to date. Download and install the 10.5.8 combo update available here.
