OAF Extension (Directory Structure)

Hello,
Is it mandatory to have oracle.apps in the custom package for extensions?
I'm trying to limit the number of custom directories to be created for the extension.
Currently the extension has only 2 class files and webui files.
When I'm trying to limit the package name to /xxpos/webui/XxobTransferMessagesPG, the application gives an error like 'application id or shortname () you entered does not exist.', when navigating to the page.
It works fine when using /oracle/apps/xxpos/webui/testingPG.
I have seen the docs on customization of OAF and was under the impression that the package name std is for best practices. Is that OAF mandates oracle.apps in the calling mechanisms?

Please see Rams update in this thread.
Application: FND, Message Name: FND-INVALID APPLICATION. Tokens: APPL = nul

New Custom OAF project - Directory structure

Hello,
I am a newbie to the OAF. I am trying to set up a totally new custom OAF project (using Jdeveloper 9i)
In our current directory structure under $JAVA_TOP, there is no folder/directory for custom projects. Is there a recommended standard directory structure that needs to be used for custom projects/applications? or is it advisable to set up a new directory and the children directories underneath? If new directory needs to be set up what is the logical structure? Can any one provide an example?
Thanks,

Thank you Gyan for the feedback. One last question about the directory structure:
We have a custom schema in our current Oracle Apps DB (let us say 'zz'). As far as I know there is no specific responsibility associated to this schema. In the current non-OAF prod world, we develop custom forms/reports based of the tables in that schema 'zz'. We tend to think of this schema as a custom module. Eventhough there is no specific responsibility associated to this schema, forms/reports developed of this, would be registered to relavent module. ie., AP, GL, FL, PN etc.
If I want to use the tables from that schema and build OAF projects/pages, would my directory structure be still the same as I mentioned before but with zz as the module? i.e, $JAVA_TOP/xx/oracle/apps/zz/?
Thanks,

Using iPhoto with an existing directory structure on HD full of jpgs

I'm using iPhoto 6. I recently moved 7,000+ photos (jpgs) off my PC onto my new Mac harddrive. They are organized into dozens of folders and subfolders. How can I use iPhoto to work with the pics within this directory structure? I tried dragging and importing several different ways, but it never preserves my extensive directory structure (just puts them all together into one big pile). I set it not to make a copy when importing. I just want iPhoto to "point" to my existing directory structure, so I can see my folders and subfolders on the left side (and from there I'll create albums and pages stuff). Thanks, Robin

Hello, Robin,
Welcome to the discussions.
First, you have to consider that iPhoto organizes differently from what you are used to doing. It is designed to allow you to do your organizing from within iPhoto, using film rolls and albums. That way, you do not have to be concerned with how and where iPhoto stores the actual photos.
If you want to keep the same type of organization that you have now, you can import the photos one folder at a time, so that iPhoto puts each folder into a separate film roll. You can change the date on import, since iPhoto will give the roll the date of import, not the date of the photo.
To get the subfolders into folders, use the album creation feature in the Source pane and create the albums and folders to suit your organizational needs and drag the photos into the appropriate locations. One of the great features of iPhoto's album function is that you can have a photo in more than one album.
Please take a look at iPhoto's tutorial here:
http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/iphoto/index.html
and some great explanations of how iPhoto is structured and works in these:

Docs that describe directory structure & how to deploy customizations?

I want to know about the directory structure of Webcommerce server 3.2; i.e. what goes where. Is there documentation for this online? Is there documentation on deploying customizations?
An example is that I note there are two custom tag descriptor files (cat.tld). One is in server/public_html/WEB-INF while the other is in webapps/wlcs/WEB-INF. The appear identical. If I want to change the custom tags do I change them both, are they copied from the WAR file, an so on.

Thanks Srinath.
I found the document that you recommended in the post. I will try that now!
Just in case, If wanted to rollback to the original how do I do that ? Since this is my first OAF extension I guess , it wont be perfect the first pass! So, Is there a way to rollback the changes and put back the original VO?
Please let me know.
Thanks,

Is it possible to Change Directory structure once the project is developed?

Hello,
I am a Newbee to OAF development, I recently developed a JSP page using the oracle recommended directory structure "<companyname>.oracle.apps.<custom directory>." ie., for ex: "*xxcom*.oracle.apps.xxco.xxco_mapping.server", the page worked perfectly fine when I ran it from jDeveloper.
but when I tried to deployed the same in the server to run from Oracle Applications, I found that our organization's unix directory structure where I need to deploy the files is not the same, they are excluding the "<companyname>" directory in there structure, the directory structure in unix looks like this "$JAVA_TOP.oracle.apps.<custom directory>...." ie., for example: "/u06/appsw/appdevcomn/java/oracle/apps/xxco", so now I cannot deploy the page I have developed.
How do I resolve this issue? can I change the directory structure in jDeveloper now to match that on the server, ie., change it to "oracle.apps.xxco.xxco_mapping.server" instead of "*xxcom*.oracle.apps.xxco.xxco_mapping.server"
Thanks

Yes, it is called refactoring. PLease see the link below:

How to add to classpath for OAF extensions in 11.5.10

In 11.5.10, how do I add jar files to the default EBS classpath for new custom classes that are used in OAF extensions? Is there a directory which I can drop them in where they will get automatically appended to the classpath? Or is there a configuration file which needs to get updated with the new jar/library dependencies?
I tried dropping them in $JAVA_TOP, but that only seems to pick up new classes, not complete jar files. However, I need to add several jar files as well (such as log4j). Ideally I would like to be able to do this without manually changing any of the config files.
Thanks,
Ed

Keeping your concern in mind, the standard way of putting customization in OAF which is patch safe is to
1. create a custom top like xxx_top
2. prefix the standard page package which you are extending with xxx to separate it from standard seeded ones.
3. Keep all your custom files on the xxx_top which is registered with the system.

Best way to import a directory structure

I have been using iTunes on my new Mac to download stuff from the iTunes Store. I'd like to start using it to play music from my PC's archives.
iTunes seems to organize its display based on metadata in its own files, gleaned from the ID3 tags. It seems to ignore the directory and filename.
The organization method I've followed to this point on the PC is the exact opposite - all music is organized by directory and filename. ID3 tags are used in most cases, but they are not correct across the board. A slim majority are totally correct and ready for importation.
The library is about 10k songs large, so manual retagging is out of the question. Importing the directories as-is leads only to extreme frustration.
Can anyone recommend a utility for retagging files automatically based on directory and filename info?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Chris CA wrote:

Actually, that's exactly how iTunes does it.
Artist, Album, Song name are Artist directoy, Album directory, song name is filename.
True, that is how iTunes organizes music on the filesystem. My point is that iTunes keys its library database on ID3 tags, not pathname. In other words, I cannot organize my library by directory and filename. (With the intent of updating their tags, honest)
Unless my impression is wrong, I must tag all files correctly before adding them to iTunes, to prevent incorrectly named tracks in the library.
What are your directory and file names?
See this script -> Tags Mirror Artist-Album-Filename
"This script copies the names of the Artist folder, Album folder and filename of the selected tracks to each track's artist, album and song name tags, respectively. Your files and folders must be arranged in this format:
Artist folder:Album folder:filename.xxx"
Or this one...
Filenames to Song Names
This script will rename the selected tracks in iTunes with their filenames (minus the extension)."
This is great stuff. Thank you for pointing me at this site. I'm sure I will need to roll my own script as my directory structure is different than what these scripts appear to address. Ah well, it's a good opportunity to learn AppleScript.
Fwiw, generally my convention has been:
[MusicRoot]/Genre/Artist - TrackName.ext (for one-off tracks)
[MusicRoot]/Genre/Artist - Album/Artist - Album - TrackNum - TrackName.ext
[MusicRoot]/Compilations/Album/Album - TrackNum - Artist - TrackName.ext
Thank you!

Import statement and directory structure

First of all, sorry for such a long post, I believe part of it is because I am unsure of the concept of importing in Java. Secondly, Thanks to anyone who can ultimately enlighten me to the concept of import. I did ask this question before in the "erorr and error handling" forum, and the people who have helped me there did a great job. But, I believe I require a little more clarification and thus have decided to post here.
Anyhow, my question..
Could someone explain to me the concept of the import statement, or direct me to a webpage with sort of explanation for newbies? For some reason, I am having a hard time grasping the concept.
As I understand it, the import statement in Java, is very similar to the namespace keyword in C. That is to say, import doesn't actually "import" any source code, the way that the #include statement does in C.
So I suppose what my question is, say I have a java class file like below:
//filename: sentence.java
//located: c:\school\csc365
package csc365;
class sentence
//some variables here..
//some constructor here..
//some methods here..
And some sample program like the one below which implements the above..
//filename: test.java
//located: c:\school\csc365
import csc365.*;
import java.io.*;
class test.java
//creates some sentence object
//uses the object's methods
//some other things.
As I understand it, the test.java file should not compile because the csc365 package is not in the correct directory. (assuming of course, the classpath is like c:\school\csc365;c:\school )
But, ... where then should the sentence.java be located? In a subdirectory of c:\school called csc365 (i.e c:\school\csc365\) ?
And thus that would mean the test.java file could be located anywhere on the hard drive?
I suppose, I just need a little clarification on the correlation between a package's "name" (i.e package csc365; ) and its corresponding directory's name, and also how the javac compiler searches the classpath for java classes.
..So, theoretically if I were to set the classpath to look in every conceivable directory(provided the directory names were all unique) of the harddrive, then I could compile a test.java anywhere?
As a note: I have been able to get the test.java file to compile, by leaving out the import statement in the test.java file, and also leaving out the package statement for the sentence class, but I assume this is because the files are defaulted to the same package?

Hi Mary,
No, import isn't analogous to C++ namespace - Java package is closer to the namespace mark.
import is just a convenience for the programmer. You can go your whole Java career without ever writing an import statement if you wish. All that means is that you'll have to type out the fully-resolved class name every time you want to use a class that's in a package other than java.lang. Example:
// NOTE: No import statements
public class Family
   // NOTE: fully-resolved class names
   private java.util.List children = new java.util.ArrayList();
}If you use the import statement, you can save yourself from typing:
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class Family
   // NOTE: fully-resolved class names
   private List children = new ArrayList();
}import isn't the same as class loader. It does not bring in any source code at all.
import comes into play when you're compiling or running your code. Java will check to make sure that any "shorthand" class names you give it live in one of the packages you've imported. If it can't find a matching fully-resolved class name, it'll give you a message like "Symbol not found" or something like that.
I arrange Java source in a directory structure that matches the package structure in the .class files.
If I've got a Java source file like this:
package foo.bar;
public class Baz
   public static void main(String [] args)
        Baz baz = new Baz();
        System.out.println(baz);
   public String toString()
       return "I am a Baz";
}I'll store it in a directory structure like this:
root
+---classes
+---src
      +---foo
           +---bar
                +---Baz.javaWhen I compile, I go to root and compile by typing this:
javac -d classes foo/bar/*.javaI can run the code from root by typing:
java -classpath classes foo.bar.BazI hope this wasn't patronizing or beneath you. I don't mean to be insulting. - MOD

Organize iTunes file list by Directory Structure instead of artist/album?

Hello, I have searched for different audio players for os x which might have this feature but so far have had no luck. What I'm looking for is a feature similar to that of foobar2000 for win32 where I can organize my music by directory structure without the iTunes automatic organization by artist/album. Is there a way I can accomplish this in iTunes with some sort of xml config or hidden options? Thanks.

You don't have to have iTunes move music around on your hard drive (Preferences>Advanced>General, uncheck Keep iTunes Music folder organized and Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library) but I suspect that's not what you're asking. You can't automatically view music from within iTunes by directory structure. iTunes organizes by ID3 tags ("mp3 tags"). You could, I suppose, spend a lot of time replicating your directory structure by using folders and playlists within iTunes but you'd probably have to do it all by hand.
You could check out Doug's Scripts to see if there are some scripts that might help.

How to create a tree based on directory structure

I want to create a hierarchical tree in Forms 6i based upon a file system directory structure (similar to Windows Explorer). How can I populate a tree with this information, is there something that I can call or write that would return the file system structure in a format that I can populate my tree?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Directory Structure for multiple applications at one host

Can I have multiple (more than one) WEB-INF directory structures in the public_html directory for different web applications? If I do this, how do setup the url-pattern in the Servlet Mapping tag in the web.xml file? How do I setup the URL that calls the servlet from the HTML that has been send to the user�s browser?

If I understand your question, you want multiple contexts. All App Servers/Web Servers allow you to setup multiple contexts. Normally if your root context is in /home/myhome/app_server/
then you would setup multiple contexts by creating a folder for each context:
/home/myhome/app_server/context1/
/home/myhome/app_server/context2/
Each would have their own full application/website. And the way to reference these would be as such:
if the domain, www.mydomain.com, is mapped to /home/myhome/app_server/
www.mydomain.com/context1/
www.mydomain.com/context2/
I think that is what you were asking. Hope it helps

Is there any way to specify a URL in the servlet-mapping that doesn't need to be in the directory structure?

          I migrated from WebLogic 5.1 to 7.0.2 Something I used to have set-up in 5.1 no
          longer
          works.
          I am using the weblogic.servlet.FileServlet and have the URL "/cxedocs/" mapped
          to this
          servlet. So whenever the URL http://localhost:7001/cxedocs/en_US/index.html
          is used it would use the docHome associated with the /cxedocs/ URL and then append
          the "en_US/index.html" on to it. So let's say d:\temp\en_US\index.html
          But now for WL 7.0.2 it appears that the URL also needs to be in the directory
          structure.
          So it now takes the docHome "d:\temp" adds the URL "/cxedocs/" and then appends
          the
          rest - so d:\temp\cxedocs\en_US\index.html.
          I can't require that the "cxedocs" directory be there. Is there anyway to map
          a certain URL
          without requiring it in the directory structure. I looked at virtual directory
          mapping too but
          it still seemed to require this.
          Any help would be appreciated!
          Thanks!
          -Lori


          I opened up a case with support on this. After some research they came back with
          that
          NO there is no way to do this. In 6.0 it was changed to follow the spec which
          restricts this.
          The URL must be part of the directory path.

I have copied many photo's from another laptop to my Mac. The older photo's are in directories with names that help me select what I need to view. I would like to have all my imported new photo's also bee added to the directory structure I have in Finder but my new photo's are all in iPhoto. I want to use directories for storing and iPhoto for viewing. Is this possible or do I need to have all my photo's in iPhoto??
Mitch

iPhoto is not a Photo Viewer. It's a Photo Manager and designed for looking after the files while you organise the Photos. It really works much better if you let it manage those files. If you use iPhoto you never go near those files because iPhoto is your start point for anything you want to do with your Photos - the point of the pplication.
You can run iPhoto in Referenced mode, where it does not copy the files to the Library, but I caution you that you are making life a lot more difficult for yourself by doing that.

Export images to a directory structure based on a collection tree?

A question:
Will lightroom have the capability to export images to a directory structure which mirrors a collections logical structure?
The reason I ask this is that when I create websites using third party tools (eg, Jalbum) I typically generate a flash or HTML based site with an menu structure for navigating the images.
So, the image interface is not simply a "flat-file" display as per the templates in Lightroom beta.
To do this, with previous image management tools (eg, iMatch) I create a hierarchy of images based on the categories (or collections) that the images are assigned to, export the images in a folder tree reflecting their categories (or collection), then use, say, Jalbum, to generate the website with the menu tree reflecting the folders/images.
This is extremely useful for more complicated image websites with categories and a large no of images.
If this function was built into Lightroom I guess it would be in the export function such that the "write to folder" box could take an argument {collection name} which would create a folder tree reflecting the collections logical tree which is being exported.
Apologies if this topic has been raised previously. But this function is extremely useful if you are using third party html tools or simply building websites by hand.
Regards
Alistair

I started simmilar thread in Lightroom Feature Requests few months ago, but can't find it anymore since new forum version...
What I can suggest as a new feature is export to directory structure from collections or second option from keywords. Probably more usable and easier to implement would be from collections.
What I need it to export many photos to different directories pretty often, and this would be great help since I could arrange them in collections and collection sets. Then select collection set and export it in a manner that collection set would be main export directory, and each collection within the set would be exported to its own folder within main collection set export folder.
This would be much appreciated feature in near future
Thank you for great product by the way

Creating a Standby Database with the Same Directory Structure

Hello gurus,
I am self-learning the feature Oracle Data Guard, so I am testing it on Oracle 10g R2.
At Oracle documentation there is a section F.4.: Creating a Standby Database with the Same Directory Structure*, that explains how to create a standby database with RMAN but there is something that I don´t understand:
In the standby server, I created a database with the SID equal to production database* with the objetive to have the same directory structure, but when I try to startup nomount the standby database with pfile appear this expected error:
ORA-16187: LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG contains duplicate, conflicting or invalid attributes
So my question is: Is possible have the Same Directory Structure on both: Production and StandBy server?
Thanks in advanced.

Uwe and mseberg: thanks for your quick answers
I have a doubt: How can you have the same directory structure if you have differents SIDs?, for example if you follow the OFA suggestions you would must have:
On Production server: */u01/app/oracle/oradata/PRIMARY/system.dbf*
On StandBy server: */u01/app/oracle/oradata/STANDBY/system.dbf*
Or you created the directory structure manually on StandBy server? For example replacing the string STANDBY* to PRIMARY* before create the database using dbca.
Do you understand my doubt? Excuse me for my english.
Thanks.
