Null pointer when trying to initialise speech recognition

Hi all,
I am attempting to utilise the JSAPI for a project for display at my Uni that utilises freeTTS and also some Java speech recognition. Through the tutorials online (such as the Hello World) I have built my speech recognizer but as I try to allocate() for the speech recogniser the program gives me a null pointer.
The grammar file that I load into the file reader exists and I do not get a file not found exception. Can anyone see a blindingly obvious error that I am missing?
Code below. The rec.allocate() (third line after the try... is where i am getting my null pointer from.
Cheers
Mark

               EngineModeDesc desk = new EngineModeDesc(Locale.ENGLISH);
               rec = Central.createRecognizer(desk);
               rec.allocate();
               FileReader reader = new FileReader("speechRecog/grammar.txt");
               RuleGrammar rules = rec.loadJSGF(reader);
               rules.setEnabled(true);
               rec.addResultListener(this);
               rec.commitChanges();
               rec.requestFocus();
               rec.resume();
          catch (Exception e) {
               message("There is a problem with this code.");
               e.printStackTrace();

Hi dheeraj_chd,
I never got a reply to this so to move forward I actually incorporated the Sphinx4 speech recognition program into my project. I do not know if this is any help to you but I got it up and running OK with it.
http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/sphinx4/
I hope this helps. It does dramatically increase the size of the application you are writing but at least it works!
Cheers

I'd recommend that you not use the JDBC-ODBC bridge driver to connect to SQL Server. M$ and jTDS are two free type IV JDBC drivers that you should use instead. Put those JARs in the WEB-INF/lib directory.
The database URL you're using is not correct if you change drivers. Consult the docs to find out what the proper syntax is.

Null Pointer when fetching VARRAY / OBJECT TYPE

Hi,
i'm trying to fetch a VARRAY, containing an Obeject Type consisiting of two NUMBERS (see scripts below). Now i used JDeveloper to generate corresponding Java Klasses. What i'm trying to do is this:
String SQL = "select quantityprice from ts_transaction_q_history where hist_id = 125608";
Map map = null;
Class obj = null;
Connection tmpCon = null;
PreparedStatement tmpStmt = null;
ResultSet tmpRS = null;
VaQuantitypriceQ100 tmpQP100 = null;
OtQuantityprice tmpQP = null;
OtQuantityprice[] tmpQPArr = null;
ARRAY tmpQP100ARR = null;
try {
tmpCon = getConnection();
map= tmpCon.getTypeMap();
obj = Class.forName("ch.egl.emis.persistence.wrapper.VaQuantitypriceQ100");
map.put(VaQuantitypriceQ100._SQL_NAME, obj);
tmpCon.setTypeMap(map);
tmpStmt = tmpCon.prepareStatement(SQL);
tmpRS = tmpStmt.executeQuery();
while (tmpRS.next()) {
tmpQP100ARR = (ARRAY) tmpRS.getObject(1);
System.out.println(tmpQP100ARR.toString());
ORADataFactory factory = VaQuantitypriceQ100.getORADataFactory();
tmpQP100 = (VaQuantitypriceQ100) factory.create(tmpQP100ARR, OracleTypes.ARRAY);
Long quan = tmpQP.getQuantity().longValue();
Long price = tmpQP.getPrice().longValue();
Well, everything works fine, as far as i can see. I get a Quantity (quan), but when i try to get the price, i get a null pointer.
I am sure, that there is data on the DB and the value for price is nut null. i an using JBoss 3.2.7 and Oracle 9i. Connection is "thin" (may that be the Ptoblem)?
Anybody there who had similar problems or has a solution for this?
Many thanks
Sven

      if (rs.next()) {
        ARRAY ar = (ARRAY) rs.getObject(1);
        Object[] obj = (Object[]) ar.getArray(1L, 1);
        if (obj != null) {
          STRUCT struct = (STRUCT) obj[0];
          obj = struct.getAttributes();

My HP Desktop HD BD07 comes up with an I/O device error when trying to initialise

I have an HP Desktop HD BD07 2TB harddrive which i use in conjunction with a media player with my tv to access my video files. After watching a movie, leaving and returning home an hour later the media player no longer registering my device. I plugged it into my laptop (HP G61) and found it was coming up as a USB device in devices but not in My Computer. I tried updating drivers, but they were up -to-date. Following the advice of another post here, I went into disc management where I found it, however it was not initialised. When i tried to initialise it to (GPT?GUID? not the root file one) it comes up with a I/O device error and wont initialise the harddrive. I have gathered this means it is corrupted? Can anyone help me - in laymens terms - to try recover this harddrive as it contains precious photos etc on it. Or has anyone encountered the same problem that got their harddrive readable again?
TIA
Kathleen

Initializing will destroy the files. Likely your already at that point. But read here.

Doesn't the stack trace you get show which line it was thrown from?
That should tell you where the problem is.
It's weird to do a file read and a file write in the constructor like that. It would make somewhat more sense to do
public static void main (String[] args) {
BytesToZeros btz = new BytesToZeros();
btz.readFile();
btz.writeFile();
}Although I realize this is just a test.
Finally, to quote code use square brackes around the code tags:

Null Pointer when hiding view attribute

Hi,
Attached is my override of doDML of table media. The view object contains fields from tables media and idn. The primary key to both, and the link field is called udid. I try to hide the media.udid but I get a null pointer error.
Do these line (also below) need the primary key of the media table (the table whose doDML the code is located)?
EntityDefImpl home = IdnImpl.getDefinitionObject();
IdnImpl idn = (IdnImpl)home.findByPrimaryKey(getDBTransaction(),getPrimaryKey());
The point of the above code is to grab another field I need for a procedure(from table IDN). When I comment these lines out the error goes away. Procedure doesn't work, but it runs. It seems weird I know to go to another table to capture udid as you can see below, even though it's available to this table instance. The reason I did that (and chose to hide media.udid) is to have a primary key available to table IDN, so as to grab the other field I need (min_val).
ANy thoughts? I haven't hid a view attribute before..
Thanks.

"Value cannot be null" error when trying to edit or create Maintenance Plan in SQL Server 2008

I have SQL Server 2008 installed on Windows Server 2008 64bit, every time I try to open or create a new Maintenance Plan I receive the error:
Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: component (System.Design)
Program Location:
   at System.ComponentModel.Design.DesignerHost.System.ComponentModel.Design.IDesignerHost.GetDesigner(IComponent component)
   at Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.VsIntegration.DtsDesignerService.OpenDesigner(String connectionString, Object connection, String objectUrn)
   at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.DatabaseMaintenance.MaintDesignerMenuHandler.Invoke()
And in the Design view screen
"Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio is unable to load this document: Could not load type 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.runtime.Wrapper.IDTSPackageSigning100' from assembly 'Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSRunTimeWrap, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral'.
I have searched for a possible solution and have tried some suggestions of registering the msxml6.dll but and have installed VS2008 SP1 but I'm not in a position where I can do a full reinstall of SQL Server right now. Any help is appreciated. My SQL server
environment information is below.
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
10.0.1600.22 ((SQL_PreRelease).080709-1414 )
Microsoft Analysis Services Client Tools
2007.0100.1600.022 ((SQL_PreRelease).080709-1414 )

Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.18943
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.4206
Operating System 6.0.6002

I digged a little deeper and figured out it was a missing directory/file in %TEMP%. Seems some CleaningTool removes all files/directories in %Temp% and after that SSMS was not working any longer. The missing file is actually not needed, but the
missing directory causes the "Value cannot be null" error.
My missing file name was:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\2\6vvdaozf.tmp
But the file name changes on every startup.
So my missing directory name was:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\2
After creating a empty directory with the name "2" in %TEMP% all went back to work fine for me.
I'm not sure the directory name is every time the same, but you can discover your missing file with the process monitor from Sysinternal Tools and filters to "Process Name is ssms.exe" and "Path contains AppData\Local\Temp"
Hope this helps other people to solve their issues too.
Thank you!! When I run %temp% it takes me to "C:\Users\Admin ...~\AppData\Local\Temp\some random number". At first the random number was 3, after I logged off and back on it was 2. My temp variable in enviromental variables is correct. I looked on another machine
running SQL2008 and temp is correct there. If I try to rename the numbered folder SSMS stops working. Any idea?

I have since reinstalled the 11gR2 database after noticing that I was missing some library paths (/lib and /usr/lib) in my LD_LIBRARY_PATH env var.
The database that I reinstalled at this point seems to be working fine but all the clients on the other VIPs are installed with those same paths missing from the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. We are in the process of updating the paths on those boxes and then will try reinstalling the clients with the hopes that this will help.

Alert tones get SUPER LOUD when trying to record speech

Ok I am not sure how to search for this problem, even, and therefore haven't been able to find anyone else mentioning it anywhere.
If I am in the process of recording any speech to text on my iPhone 4s and a text message comes in at the same time, or if one comes in right before I'm going to press the mic button to record, then as soon as I press the mic, or in other words, while recording, the alert tone gets REALLY LOUD. I mean, REALLY loud. Instead of shutting off when you press the mic button, it actually gets too loud.
I haven't tried it with a regular ringtone to see if I get the same thing. I imagine it would probably stop recording if a phone call came in because it would kick me out of messages entirely. But this seems like a bug to me... if a text message or other alert is sounding and you hit record, it should shut off whatever alert is going on before it starts recording your speech.
Hope this makes sense. I am not sure if it started before or after this latest software update... I hadn't used the speech to text as much until recently. I love it (though some days it doesn't seem to understand me very well! I guess it's almost human in that way. ;-)

I'm having the same issue with my iPhone 4S. I was hoping to find a solution around here somewhere.

What is the grey triangle and exclamation point when trying to view pics in iPhoto?

having troubles with photoes that appear in iphoto as a thumnail but when selected a screen appears with a grey triangle and exclamation point !
what is this about?other photoes in the same album appear as they are selected!

This indicates a disconnect between the Thumbnail and the original
this can be caused by two things
1 - User action deleting items from inside the iPhoto library - can be directly - can be from the All images list (never delete from there) - can be from running cleanup software like MacKeeer, CleanMac2 or other dangerous, defective software that improperly deletes or changes things in the iPhoto library - if you have done any of these things you must restore your backup from before you did them and damaged your iPhoto library - and I recommend getting rid of any "clean up software" ASAP (although being essentially MalWear it is not easy)
2 - corruption of the iPhoto library - If it is not #1 then Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your database

Black screen with exclamation point when trying to view photos

In iphoto 8, when I try to make some pics bigger by clicking on it, the screen changes to a black screen with a white exclamation point in it. This does not happen to all the photos, only some of them. Can someone tell me what happened and how do I fix it?
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

I remember something similar happening when I upgraded from 9 to 10g on my last machine. A co-worker provided a fix by adding a line to some sort of java file, I think. However, he is un-available to ask about this issue again.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Does this happen after a particular operation (Metadata Import, a mapping creation, etc)? Or does it happen regardless of the preceding operation - i.e. start the Client, immediately after logon do the commit - get that error?
