No faces tag support for Flickr (aka faces don't = keyword)

Though iPhoto keywords have been always passed along fine to Flickr (using FlickrExport plugin in the past) the Faces info is not passed along as Flickr tags (keywords, however, are passed along as tags). What good does this do me once I've gone through all the facial recognition steps and want to share this insight with my Flickr following? Am I missing something?

I wouldn’t think either of these things.
Why wouldn't you think that? I have to agree w/ Reuben, especially since this is the default behavior for iPhoto 09's built in export to Facebook! It mimics the native FB photo/face tagging verbatim. . .
Screenshot of a photo I exported (after being facially recognized) from iPhoto '09 after being imported into FB:
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll78/elvisinvegas/Picture1-1.jpg
So yes, I think it's bordering on absurd that iPhoto faces don't produce Flickr tags from faces(or at least give us that option) or do the mouse-over-note capability that Reuben was referring to. . .especially since it can and does for Facebook.

NETUI input tag support for disabled option

In a standard HTML form, you can disable a field from being editable by specifying
DISABLED such as
<input type=checkbox name='Authorized' checked disabled>
In NETUI, some fields support the readonly flag..but others do not... specifically
<netui:checkBox dataSource="{request.myCompany.cmcdEntitled}" >
How can I make a NETUI check box (or other fields) read only if it doesn't have
the readonly flag?
thanks,
Tom

Your solution only work with checkboxex. If u want to disable dropdown it is not
possible to disable the <td> tag. Does any one know how to disable dropdowns with
netui tags???

NFC Tag support for iPhone 6,+, Apple Watch, Ipad Air 2

To whom it may concern,
My name is Brian Hruza, CEO and Founder of the PhoneHome Project LLC.
My successfully crowdfunded company sells NFC Tags and is redesigning the NFC experience for the masses.
http://kck.st/10mClON
http://www.phonehomeproject.com
I know the iPhone 6,+, Apple Watch and other new devices have come with NFC Chips. I'd like some more information on when access will be granted to developers so that NFC Tags [NTAG203, Mifare, or Topaz types] will work in the future. My email is [email protected]
Any information you can provide or connect me with a developer program of sorts would be greatly appreciated!

Brian Hruza

You'll have to contact Apple. There's a link at the bottom of the page.

JRE support for JIS2004 (aka JIS0213?)

Do any of the releases of the JRE support JIS2004? If not, are there any plans for such support. I am most interested in JDK1.5, but any version would be fine. Apparently this standard (otherwise known as JIS0213, I think), is important to Japanese users of Windows Vista. I couldn't find any useful information on the Sun site regarding this question, so I apologize if I missed some obvious source of information on this question.
Thank you.

So if my remote objects extend UnicastRemoteObject
and use the exportObject(this,x) to export themselves
to port xHold it. If you extend UnicastRemoteObject you don't have to call exportObject, it is called for you on construction.
, do they effectively bypass the registry,
since the ports used for each are known to both
sides, and the remote Stubs can be placed in reach of
both?No. You can think of the Registry as a bootstrap which gives you the initial stub. After you have one stub to your system it can return stubs for further objects itself. (Actually it is LocateRegistry.getRegistry() which is the true bootstrap, but leave that.) Classically:
public interface Login extends Remote
/** login, suppliying whatever credentials are required */
Session login(String userid, String password) throws RemoteException;
public interface Session extends Remote
// further application methods here
}so a client can only get access to your application via a successful login. Thereafter the client may have its own unique SessionImpl object to communicate with, which can hold state on behalf of the client. If you have no session state, the SessionImpl can be a singleton, with preferably a better name, maybe in your case Warehouse.

ADF Faces: is mixing JSF RI and ADF Faces tags supported?

Hi,
I'm looking at ADF Faces as a future possibility for our application that is currently based on JSF RI.
When looking at the ADF Faces demo it strikes me that all pages are almost completely built up from ADF Faces tags.
For instance
af:form
af:commandButton
af:inputText
are used instead of the equivalent core jsf tags f:form, f:commandButton and f:inputText
I'm wondering if this is mandatory if we would like to use some ADF Faces components mixed within our existing application.
In other words: are ADF Faces tags supported in the environment of conventional JSF tags? And mixing ADF Faces JSF components with JSF components by other vendors?
Another thing that strikes me is that pages are constructed using ADF Faces tags for any and all markup content.
I guess this is meant to support several different clients (normal browser applications, mobile clients, voice activation over telephone) using different renderers.
In my experience abstracting markup this way inherently means loss of control over the exact markup that is sent to the client. This is not acceptable for all projects and customers.
Is embedding ADF Faces tags within template HTML, within f:verbatim tags or not, supported?
Regards,
Joost de Vries

You absolutely can mix JSF RI and ADF Faces tags. This is very much supported! You can swap in <h:form> and <h:commandButton> and <h:inputText>. Our versions support some features that the JSF tags do not, as described in our release notes.
Your point about using tags to produce all markup is a very cogent one. For some projects, absolute control over HTML will be a necessary requirement, so we do support that style of development. But we believe strongly that the future does not lie in constant handcoding of HTML, but instead in building more powerful, flexible, and reusable components and assembling those into pages. This was one of the themes of a talk I gave with two coworkers at this past JavaOne.
-- Adam Winer (JSF EG member and ADF Faces lead)

Support for Java Server Faces

I hope that in the next future will appear, on the market, IDE (such as JBuilder) or authoring tool (as Deamweaver), that support the creation of jsp pages. A sort of RAD for jsp+tag library.
We expect such effort from software producer.
Thanks
Aldo Funicelli from Milan

While I cannot share any specific product plans from any vendor, I would like to point out that all of the vendors of IDEs in the Java web application space are members of the JSR-127 expert group that is defining JavaServer Faces. Indeed, one of the primary design goals for the APIs is to ensure that development tools have sufficient information available to create high quality user interfaces at design time, so we're doing all we can to enable this kind of thing.
As JavaServer Faces matures, I think you will be very pleased with the quality and quantity of tools support for it.

Ogg support for Creative MediaSource Pla

Hi I just started using the Creative MediaSource Player that came with the Soundblaster X-Fi Plantinum and I am trying to find out if there is ogg support for it. It doesn't seem to recognize ogg files. Does anyone know of a plugin or some way to enable ogg support for it.
Thanks,
Travis

As a Last.FM moderator we see quite a lot of threads and requests passing by for a pplugin that would allow people to "scrobble" the tracks they played on any of Creatives MP3-players. (Take a look at http://www.last.fm/forum/276/_/26462, for example). The problem Last.FM faces here is that, by the looks of it, getting a timestamped log-file from plays on a Creative-player is not possible (don't quote me here, I am just the messenger, and have hardly any knowledge concerning the plugins...)I do know that there is a community that is pretty positi've about Last.FM and that moderators nor staff can help them here. Perhaps the nice people developing the software for your players might want to take a look at the site and decide that it might be a nice idea to open up the software a bit, or develop a plugin themselfs. It might prevent people (like me) from buying an iPod, which does allow me to submit my listened songs to the site...

Future support for using PL/SQL core business logic with ADF BC

We want to migrate our large Forms client/server (6i) application to ADF, possibly using a migration tool like Ciphersoft Exodus.
One scenario could be to use ADF BC and ADF-Faces or a different JSF-Implementation for presentation and business layer but keep our heavy PL/SQL-businesslogic inside the Oracle database in packages, triggers, functions and procedures.
This scenario could be chosen due to the huge amount of interconnected logic inside the database (10 years of development; no technical components; any package may access any table and more of this kind of dependencies). The business logic nowadays held in Forms client will be moved mainly into the database as a prerequisite to this scenario.
Choosing this "keep-logic-in-DB"-scenario we need a good support by ADF BC to do so. We know and prototyped that it is possible to call some PL/SQL via JDBC from ADF BC and it is possible to use stored procedure calls for standard business entity data access (ins, del, upd, ..). But this does not solve our problems. We want to reuse core business logic coded in PL/SQL. This is much more than change the ADF standard behavior for an update with an own PL/SQL-call.
Now my question:
Will there be a kind of sophisticated support to use ADF BC in combination with database-kept logic?
If so, when will this happen and how will the common problems of transactional state inside the database and inside the ADF BC be solved? Any plans or ideas yet?
Many other clients do have similar applications built in Forms and PL/SQL and would be glad to hear about a path of direction.
I've read the technical article 'understanding the ADF BC state management feature' which you have contributed to. One current limitation is pointed out there: Using PL/SQL with ADF BC limits ADF AM pooling to 'restricted level' which reduces scalability.
Are you aware of additional main problems/tasks to solve when using PL/SQL heavily with ADF BC, which we have to think about?
Thank you for any response.
Ingmar

My main problem is two 'concurrent' areas holding state in an application system based on DB-stored PL/SQL-logic in combination with ADF BC.
For a new System everything can be made ok:
Sure, it is possible to build a new system with the business logic included in ADF BC only. All long-living state will be handled in the BC layer ( including support for UnitsOfWork longer than the webside short HTTP-requests and HTTP-sessions and longer than the database transactions.
For an old system these problems arise:
1. DB data changes not reflected in BC layer:
Our PL/SQL-logic changes data in tables without notifying the ADF BC layer (and its cache). To keep the data in ADF BC entity objects identical to the changed database content a synchronization is needed. BC does not know which part of the application data has been changed because it has not initiated the changes through its entity objects. Therefore a full refresh is needed. In a Forms4GL environment the behavior is similar: We do frequently requeries of all relevant (base)tables after calling database stored logic to be sure to get the changed data to display and to operate on it.
-> Reengineering of the PL/SQL-logic to make the ADF BC layer aware of the changes is a big effort (notifying BC about any change)
2. longer living database transactions
Our PL/SQL-logic in some areas makes use of lengthy database transactions. The technical DB-transaction is similar to the UnitOfWork. If we call this existing logic from ADF BC, database state is produced which will not be DB-committed in the same cycle.
This reduces scalability of ADF BC AM pooling.
Example:
a) Call a DB-stored logic to check if some business data is consistent and prepare some data for versioning. This starts a DB-transaction but does not commit it.
b) Control is handed back to the user interface. Successful result of step a) is displayed
c) User now executes the versioning operation
d) Call another DB-stored logic to execute the versioning. DB-transaction is still open
e) Business layer commits the transaction automatically after successful finishing step d). Otherwise everything from a) to e) is rolled back.

Starting April 30th, we will discontinue support for all Internet Explorer 8 versions and all Firefox 20 versions and below. In order to continue using Business Catalyst Admin user interface without problems, you and your clients need to upgrade to a more recent browser:
Download Internet Explorer
Download Safari
Download Chrome
Download Firefox

Thanks for your reply Shay.
We plan to officially support IE8 with the next patch release to JDeveloper 11g - currently planned for later this year.That matches what I wrote in my initial post in this forum thread about IE8 support.
We usually only certify browsers after they officially go production.That does not really answer my question (q1) in this forum thread.
It is more like, how can I assess that Oracle will support any successor(s) of IE8 or successor(s) of any currently supported browsers for ADF 11g applications in the future? How long will Oracle support "commonly used browsers" for an ADF 11g application I build today, so how long will I be able to use that application?
How do I answer such questions for ADF 11g applications that should be deployed on the internet (where, as some extranet environments, you typically have not that much (or no) control over which browsers your users use ... although some would like to argue with that, see forum thread "ADF Faces RC browser support and browser market share")?
(By the way, do you have any feedback for the forum thread "ADF 10g support for Internet Explorer 8"?)

Client support for Intel Mac

Does anybody know if and when there will be support for MacOs on Intel Macs for the client libraries?

Unfortunately not many people who use Oracle also use Macs (let's face it, Macs are a small percentage of desktop usage in most business spheres). Combine this with the fact that the Intel Mac is a recent innovation and so currently represents a sliver of Mac usage compared to PowerPC, and you'll see that Oracle clients on Intel Macs must be quite low on the priority scale for porting.
I agree that this is frustrating for you and your clients, but Oracle have to make hard commercial decisions. One of those decisions is to favour the mainstream OS flavours over the niche ones. They never supported Macs until Apple switched to a Unix-based OS, because the previous OS would have been too much work for too lsmall a market segment. They never supported BeOS either, for precisely the same reason.
I guess they will eventually port the Oracle clients to Intel Macs, but not just yet. Still,Any word on MacIntel support? you're not alone.
