Newbie question: Can't get equal object widths

I have two rectangle paths in my document. I don't remember exactly how I created them but as far as I can tell, they are very alike, same fill, no stroke. They are two vertical sides of a rectangular border around the perimiter of my doc.
I would like to change the widths to be identical. Width/height proportion constraints are off. I enter the width of one object in the width field of the other, and the width changes but to some unpredictable number. I can put in a new number again and the width changes to something new but not what I want. I have tried to use different units, same result. I have no problem changing the heights of the corresponding horizontal paths to be the numbers I want.
There is one visible difference between the paths: When the troubling path is selected, the blue outline around it is wider than on the other paths.
I ended up throwing away the trouble path and copying the good one as a work-around. But I'd like to know what's going on, I assume I'm missing something basic.
Hope somebody can help.

With the rectangle tool (hotkey: M)
Hold [Alt] and click where you want your rectangle to be centered. A window will appear with the height and width options.
If it's all symmetrical, I would then use the Reflect tool, or Rotate tool to make a copy, where I wanted. With either tool, hold [Alt] and click the point you wish to rotate around. Check the preview box to make sure you have the right outcome, and then select the Copy option to finalize.
If you are selecting one rectangle at a time and entering the new width into the Transform Panel, I am unsure what is happening.
(Note: Instead of increasing the width, in the transform panel, by replacing 128 px with 256 px ▬ you have the option to add to the original number,
so it would look like this: 128+128 px [it also works for decreasing, with subtraction])
To select and scale two objects, in place, at the same time:
Object→ Transform→ Transform each

  • Newbie question: Can't get 100% black

    I have created text. When it prints, I am getting 4 color plates. I filled with foreground color that is 100% black. What am I missing? Thanks for any help.
    Photoshop 9.0.2; Mac OS 10.4.8; System: PowerPC G5

    In CMYK, you can render black 2 ways: as "rich black" (made up of all four plates), or "black-only" (made up of black ink only.)
    When you say you created the text with "foreground color... 100% black", that probably means you used Photoshop's default colors - black and white. If you open the color picker and look at how the default black is made, you'll see that it's a combination of C, M, Y and K.
    If you are creating the file in CMYK mode, you can open the color picker, enter 0/0/0/100 in the CMYK fields, and fill your type or shape. You'll have 100% black and no other colors.
    If you're creating your file in RGB, you're SOL. When you convert to CMYK, all black will be converted to rich black using the CMYK build as defined by the CMYK profile to which you're converting. In that case, you would have to go back into the CMYK file and manually fix all the elements that are supposed to be black-only.
    It's a rather nasty can of worms. This is one of the things that keeps an RGB workflow from being accepted universally by the prepress community. There are tools available (Alwan, etc.) that will preserve black-only elements as the file gets converted from RGB to CMYK, but they are not widely used yet.

  • How can i get session object based on session id?

    I have tried searching in forum but i can't find any solution that i can get session object based on session id and i also would like to know how to check whether the session is still active? My company currently using weblogic 5.1. I really hope that some one or anyone can help. I am new in using Servlet. I hope that i can find some answer here. Thank you.

    I have a need to get a Session object from a session id, so I don't think that the above should be deprecated. Here is my use case:
    0. I am displaying files in a file list
    1. I am downloading files.
    2. I am downloading files through a Servlet
    3. I am displaying the files as images in an applet
    4. The applet is ImageJ, and it apparently uses a full URL to download the file.
    5. I use request.getRequestURL() in the applet .jsp to get the full URL (the hostname and port)
    6. My app server is OC4J and it's behind an apache server and is host aliased.
    7. Thus the hostname is different between my applet .jsp and the Servlet URLs
    8. Thus I have 2 different sessions
    9. Thus I need to pass the session id (or some other unique identifier).
    10. I could stored the unique identifier in the application object, but then I would need to clean it up
    11. I cannot pass the the full path to the image due to security problems (what if someone downloads my password file?)
    12. I would like this to work in a clustered environment
    13. I think that WebDAV would solve my problems, since I could pass a full URL of webDAV to ImageJ for download. However, I am unsure how the security of WebDAV would work with ImageJ/URLConnection. I will have to research this feature in ImageJ.

  • Why can't get the object "out" in this way?

    We use "PrintWriter out=response.getWriter()"to get a "out" object in Servlet and output text to webbrowser with it.But I think the PrintWriter is a class and Why can't I get the object "out" use this way:"PrintWriter out=new PrintWriter()"?I think the later is easier to understand.Anyone can help me?

    I check the Servlet API.The PrintWriter has a constructor with a abstract object Writer as it's parameter.I couldn't create the Writer object so I can't create the out object.Why it's constructor is protected by java?

    I know you can do this with Netbeans, but my thin client doesn't have enough room for it. Is there a simple java utility that does the same thing?
    Thanks for reading.

    Netbeans just runs (Apache) Ant (3 MB or so if you don't include the documentation) so you can can try to see if that fits and run it from the command line. If it doesn't you'll have to run javac/java from the command line yourself.

  • Newbie plea - can't get started!

    Hi, I just installed HTML DB (1.6.0.00.87) which I downloaded last week.
    I seem to have got everything up and running, but I can't log in!
    I've created a "secondary" admin user as suggested in the FAQs (for forgotten password), but I still can't get past the admin page at: http://host:port/pls/htmldb/htmldb_admin
    I'm pretty sure I gave it "admin" as the admin password when I installed it, but it won't accept it. It won't accept the "admin2" password either for the new administrator.
    What have I missed? Should I just forget this and go straight to V2.0?
    Thanks,
    Tarik.

    password in UPPERCASE?
    Have you substituted host and port with the right values?
    That info can be found in your apache configuration file.
    Have you any errors in the apache error and access log?
    Make it working in v1.6. Installation for v2 will be similar anyway.
    good luck.

  • HT1311 I have just recently updated my Ipad to ios 7.1.1 software. During the update, it asked for a New Ipad or old ipad. which meant start erasing everything including my photos, which i didn"t know. My question can i get those photos back? and How?

    I have just recently updated my Ipad to 7.1.1 software. I lost my photos, can i get them back? when i pressed new ipad instead of old

    Hi there,
    You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
    You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
    Thanks, let me know if the update helps,

  • Newbie question about entity and view objects

    Hi everyone,
    My first ADF application in JDeveloper is off to a difficult start. Having come from a forms background, I know that it is necessary avoid using post-query type lookups in order to have full filtering using F11/Ctrl+F11. This means creating an CRUDable view and getting as much of the lookup data as possible into the view without losing the ability to modify the data. In JDeveloper, I do not know how to build my data model to support that. My thought was to start with a robust updateable view as my main CRUD EO and then create a VO on top of that with additional EOs or VOs. But, I have found that I cannot add VOs to another VO. However, if I link the VOs then I have a master-detail which will not work for me.
    For example, I have two joins to CSI_INST_EXTEND_ATTRIB_V shown in the queries below and need to have that show in the table displaying the CRUD VO’s data. It seemed that the best way to do this is to create a CSI_INST_EXTEND_ATTRIB_V entity object and view object. The view object would have two parameters, P_INSTANCE_ID and P_ATTRIBUTE name. Both the building and the unit are needed on the same record, and this is not a master-detail even though it might look that way. (A master-detail data control will not work for me because I need all this data to appear on the same line in the table.) So, I need help figuring out the best way to link these to the main (CRUD) view; I want as much of this data as possible to be filterable.
    select
    cieav.attribute_value
    from
    csi_inst_extend_attrib_v cieav
    where cieav.instance_id = p_instance_id
    and cieav.attribute_code = 'BUILDING NAME'
    select
    cieav.attribute_value
    from
    csi_inst_extend_attrib_v cieav
    where cieav.instance_id = p_instance_id
    and cieav.attribute_code = 'UNIT NAME'
    Ultimately, I need to display a ton of data in each record displayed in the UI table, so a ton of joins will be needed. And, I need to be able to add records using the UI table also.
    James

    Hi Alejandro,
    Sorry if I caused confusion with my first post. What I had in mind assumed that I could have a single CSI_INST_EXTEND_ATTRIB_V EO with a BuildingVO and UnitVO on top of it. So, I wrote the queries individually to show how I would invoke each view. When I realized that confused the issue, I rewrote the query to explain things better.
    Now having seen your 2 queries. You need to create 2 EO. One for each table. Then create an association between the 2 aeO (this will be the join you are talking about). Then, you need to create a VO based on one of the EO and after you can modify and add the second EO (in here you select the join type).
    After your done with this, youll have 1 VO that supports CRUD in both tables.
    There were three tables in the query: CIEAV_BUILDING, CIEAV_UNIT, and T -- the main CRUD table. When you say that I should create two EOs, do you mean that they are to be for CIEAV_BUILDING and CIEAV_UNIT? Or, CIEAV and T? Assuming CIEAV and T, that sounds like it would allow me to show my building or unit on the record but not both.
    By the way, everything is a reference except for the main CRUD table.
    Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks for your help (and patience).

  • NewBie Question: Can you make a website completely with Java?

    Greetings my new Fellow Java programmers. My name is Jason and I am a computer programmer and web developer. I am verse in the following:
    1. HTML/XHTML
    2. CSS
    3. Asp.net
    4. VB.Net
    5. SQL
    I want to expand my skills to include:
    1.JAVA
    2. Action Script
    3. Java Script
    4. Ajax
    I have always wanted to learn Java and now I think it is the right time. So my question is can you create a site complete with Java or have a majority of the site functions and look attributed to Java? Is it similar to creating a site with vb.net and asp.net which utilizes html as well? Please explain. I am eager to learn this language. Thank you.

    I find it strange that you have to ask this. Of course the end result will be HTML/XHTML, that's what the browsers want. I would think that if you know the .NET side of web development, these concepts (client/server technologies) should already be clear to you.
    The short answer is yes it is possible. However if you want to learn Ajax/Javascript/Actionscript, I would learn those technologies before you learn Java web development as they are completely unrelated. You know that Javascript is not Java, right? You can implement javascript/Ajax in your .NET web applications already.
    Before you want to learn Java web development, learn Java. Seriously, learn basic Java first. It will be a great deal harder (and ultimately a lot more frustrating) to jump directly into the web development side of Java without knowing any of the basics. One of the biggest differences between .NET and Java platforms is that Microsoft basically holds your hand when it comes to making decision about which APIs to use and how to attack a problem; Java leaves you to the wolves to select from a gigantic amount of APIs and tools available that can each solve a problem in their very own way. Freedom is great, but it can be very daunting when you are just beginning.
    So before you even think about web development, I suggest you explore the java tutorial and see if you can get to grips with the language and the tool set.
    [http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/]
    When you are comfortable with the Java language and you are sure that Java web/enterprise development is still something for you, then come back and ask the question again.

  • Complete newbie question - Can BI consume web services?

    Post Author: Steve Lamont
    CA Forum: Data Integration
    I am working on a new client site working on integration between a whole slew of systems including CRM, billing, BI etc.  The client is architecting a SOA oriented approach to all integration where it make sense.  As part of the effort, a new BI database is being built and loaded via some ETL tool.  The primary interface to access this new BI data will be business objects (BO).  Now, in the current environments, there are multiple, disparate BI systems containing various data.  The BO knowledge person (and he is not a business object employee) on this site is claiming that to access these other BI databases, he wants to do it by sending out requests via service calls.  I fully understand that BO itself can be set up to be a service provider and provide services for other consumers to take advantage of, but how does BO itself consume services provided by other applications?
    Obviously I don't fully understand BO, but my initial inclination is that this approach is wrong.  If data is required from these other BI source, wouldn't they be configured as data sources within business objects?  This BO guy claims that calling web services is more efficient that direct peer-to-peer calls via the database drivers.
    Can any share some comments on this situation?

    You posted your question to the wrong forum, please try to post it to one of the subforums in "Enterprise Reporting, Query & Analysis".
    This forum is about Data Integrator, Business Objects ETL tool.
    I'll try to answer your question anyway with my reporting background From what I know, YES we can consume web services in reports (Crystal reports), but for larger volumes of data a direct access to the database would be faster. A webservice approach might make sense if the webservice implements some business logic (semantic layer) which would be easier then to go directly to the tables.
    And just for the record : also Data Integrator can consumer web services...

  • Please help a newbie.  Can not get color replacement to work

    Hello,
    Let me start off by saying that I am a newbie to PS in general.  I have been on the software for a short period of time.  I was working with some images and I was making layers trying to bring color out of BW photos (make a BW layer and use the brush to get the color back in certain areas).  I installed RAW 5.3 and now when I make a BW layer I can not make the adjustments on the layer any longer.  I get an error message stating I can not make adjustments to the layer.  But in all the manuals I have it states to make the adjustments on the layer.  I am really confused.  I am looking at my plug ins on PS "homescreen" and there are 2 Camera RAWs (5.3 and 5.0).  I was wondering if I delete 5.0 that may help (how can I do this).  Also, I can make a color picture and remove the color from the main image, but that would just take too long to only bring out the color in a small area.  I am wondering why this process is now "reversed" 
    Also, is there a setting that may not be right to make the color replacement on the layer that may not be right on my computer.  Again, all this started right after installing RAW 5.3.  I am running an iMac OS X v10.5.7.
    I am sorry if I am leaving some information out, but I am a newbie and do not know what other information might be useful.
    Thanks for any help, and please let me know if there is additional information that you may need to help me.
    Thanks,

  • How can i get caller object by MethodEntryEvent

    Hi ,
    I have problem that I want to get the caller object when the program call any method. I use com.sun.jdi.MethodEntryEvent to catch the calling event but I don't know how to get the caller.
    thanks for any answers.

    I use
    com.sun.jdi.MethodEntryEvent to catch the calling
    event but I don't know how to get the caller. You have to go from the MethodEntryEvent to the Thread
    and from the Thread to the active stack frame on that
    thread. Then you can query the stack frame for 'this',
    or for other information.
    Given:
    com.sun.jdi.event.MethodEntryEvent mee;
    then the following will return the ObjectReference
    of 'this' for the current frame:
    mee.thread().frame(0).thisObject();
