OCI bowser generates new session with each page load

Here is a summary of my problem:
I am trying to implement the SAP Open Catalog Interface (OCI) with our eCommerce software, but I am having issues with the Web browser that OCI uses.
Our eCommerce software utilizes the browser session id to identify the user. Our issues is that the OCI browser supplies a new session id with each page load.
The weird part is that if I open a standard instance of IE, access the site, and then access the site though OCI the same session is shared by both the OCI browser and the IE browser. The OCI browser is now able to maintain the session ID as the user browses the site.
Thanks.

Thank you for your quick response.
I understand that session IDs are always unique, and should only last for as long as the instance of the browser is open.
What I have seen happen is that the session ID will get recreated with each page load with in a single instance of the OCI browser.
When the site is opened in OCI it logs the user in, and then redirects them to the homepage. The problem is that the load of the login page, and the load of the homepage have different session IDs. If the user then clicks on a link on the homepage that page load will again have a different page load. This causes the eCommerce system to see them as separate users.
As I described when I open an instance of IE first it seems to work. This leads me to believe that the OCI browser can read the cookie information, but can't write or create.
I am trying to figure out why the OCI browser keeps generating new Session IDs.

ADF ProcessScope -- I get a new AdfFacesContext on each page load

I am trying to store some variables in the ADF processScope. But the next time the page is loaded and calls the managed bean methods, the AdfFacesContext is different, and so the processScope is empty. The managed bean is session scope, and I am setting the processScope variables in the bean's Java code.
In particular this happens when I click on the af:table pagination links, e.g. the "next 25".
How can I get access to the same AdfFacesContext (and therefore the same processScope) the next time the page loads and calls the managed bean?
I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3.3.0.
Here is the example code, and the output that is produced from my System.out.println statements:

Thanks for the idea, Murph.
I didn't need a session scope bean, request would be fine, I just was trying to make something work that would allow me access to the process scope attributes. I want to allow multiple browser windows searching on different objects independently, so I don't want to use session scope.
I tried removing the variable declaration and setting/getting the processScope attribute in the setter/getter methods, to make the process scope attributes independent of the managed bean. But each time the page loads (by clicking the table navigation links), I still lose the process scope attributes. I tried with both session and request scope beans. Either way, in the getLoad() method, when I try to get the label from the process scope (using the new version of getLabel()), it is null.
So the root problem is still there.
For continued discussion on this more specific problem, see my separate thread "JSF ProcessScope attribute missing on page reload from af:table pagination"
at JSF ProcessScope attribute missing on page reload from af:table pagination

Create new session for each window opening

From a jsp page i open a page called student.jsp by clicking on students admision no.Therefore lots of pages can be opend in new windows with relevent student details.
but when i click on the link i called a servlet, get relevent details and redirect to student.jsp. The problem is ,all opened windows have same session id and there are session conflicts.
How can i create new sessions for each page thru the servlet or is there any other alternatives

I actually was working on a problem that was similar to this, and the problem is with how each web-browser works with sessions...
Each browser window (Except in one case with IE) will use the same session in each window.
However, you might be able to use URL-Rewritting to manage your sessions and get around using cookies for for session tracking. I personally haven't tried this, but I'm betting that it will work.
Best of Luck,
Nate

Call transaction in new session with the value at hotspot

Hi all,
As a hotspot functionality I would like to open a new transaction in a new session with the value at hotspot. For that reason, I am using the FM ABAP4_CALL_TRANSACTION with the option STARTING NEW TASK.
This FM is not working because Parameter ID is not Maintained for the field (Hotspoted). So no value is passing to new transaction.
Please suggest any other way to implement this.

Hello,having a problem with Logic 9 on a Mac Pro.Working on a lenghty song and apparently session got corrupted.Doesnt let me export tracks,program crashes.Already tried start brand new session with the tracks imported into it but still wont export.Suggestions?

Thanks, Ian. Yeah, that's how I do it now...or with the controls in the left side pane. Still, I would have liked that quick on-the-spot edit capability...especially while sketching.
Ian Turner wrote:
Sorry Mark, you are out of luck as it does not do that - it works the same as L8. The way I would achieve that with more accuracy and control would be to route all the tracks you want to fade to a Bus then use volume automation on the bus. To do this you will need to add a standard audio track, then re-assign it using (Control Click on the track header) to the Bus track. You can then automate volume/plugins etc on the Bus track.

A New Thread With Each Mouse Click

Dear Java Programmers,
The following code gives a bouncing ball inside of a panel. With each click, I need to have a different ball added and the previous ball to keep on bouncing. This part is a larger question of multitreading. When I have an action listener for mouse clicks, and I need to have a new thread with each click, how do I do this and where do I put it?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you very much for your replies. As for the multithreading, I have created 20 threads in the main method. With each click, one of these 20 threads starts in order. Now, how do I get a ball to paint with each one? How do I reference them in the paintComponent method?

I have a similar problem: I switched from mac mail to Outlook 2011 as the default client, and want to switch back. Mailto links (eg from browser etc) default to Mail. However, when I try to email a Word document as an attachment, it continues to open Outlook. Outlook has a button in its prefs for making it the default client, but I don't see a way to turn this pref off in either Outlook or in Word.

Map with 500 pdfs. How to make a new file with only the first pages, new file with second pages etc.

Hi,
A client confronted me with the next question:
I have a map with 500 pdf's in it.
Is it possible to make a new file with only the first page of each pdf?
After that to make a new file with only the second page of each pdf?
And after that the third?
Etc.
Is that possible with an action?
Or are there scripts for?
I couldn't find them.
I use an iMac with Acrobat XI.
Any help is very welcome.
Thanks in advance.

You can extract each page from each pdf as a seperate page. Once this is done you can select the pages tocombine.
You would have to write custom a custom JavaScript and programatically code the names to combine if the extracted file pages habvestandars naming that could be programed. There maybe some security coding you will have to do because of Adobe restrictions but this all documented in the Acrobat JavaScript Reference.

Setting up new book with single pages but facing preview and breaking up pages at print time

I have a new book to design. Last time on a similar project (with 100 pages) I had a massive cry at print time as the printer wanted single pages with bleeds. I had set up the book with facing pages. When I unchecked to non facing pages I lost all my formatting and margins... I spent hours fixing this up.... I do need to show double spreads to the client as we go along and I do want to work in a mode that shows both left and right next to each other (ie in a book format). What do you suggest? I have been looking at setting up as single pages side by side and then at print time I think I can move all my right hand pages over with the break up page function and then fix up all my bleeds manually.? thanks in advance

lisalip schrieb:
no my printer needs 5mm bleed all around for the books I am doing and wants single pages with crops and bleeds
I will check the link and hope ok
I do prefer to design with facing pages but as I said it was a nightmare for me last time when setting for print
You confuse single pages with non facing document.
Every page has to be its own page. When your document has facing pages you have to set up a document with facing pages. There is no way around. Otherwise you will have problems with the left and the right page number and a lot of other issues.
If the printer needs single pages you have to export your document as PDF with single pages. That means deactivate the spread option in the PDF export dialog.
Here I have an example:
Situation:
In the 2 spreads on the top you don't have a problem when you export to a single page PDF. The bleed is taking material from the opposite page. It is ok and not disturbing.
But the bottom spread is different. Here you see a design break. It would be disturbing, if you take material from the opposite page. In many cases you would not realize it, but there are several situation where it might be a problem like glue or o-wire bindings where the bleed might become visible.
So you have to go to the page panel.
You have to select the spread first, then you go to the fly-out menu and select don't "allow selected spread to shuffle" pages. The numbers of the spread will appear in rectangle brackets.
Now you can drag the right (or left) page away from their counterpart on the spread. First you have to deselect any pages from that spread, so you can click on any thumbnail of any other page of any other spread. Then click on the right page of that spread. Only this pages has to be selected.
You see the icon of your curser changes as it is in the image above. Drag it as far as you see a thick vertical line. Then release sthe curser.
As result you have now seperate pages. You need only to extend the image, here on page 6. I have taken an image which is large enough, so I need only to move the image frame edge to the bleed.
When I export a single page PDF, as your printer wants I don't get problematic bleed from the opposite page.
You can download this example as IDML file. https://www.dropbox.com/s/qnotrl1ihe7umh7/SinglePages-Spread%20Ordner.zip

Stopping a header reloading with each page

I've had loads of conflicting advice on this one. Someone
must know surely. How do I stop a flash movie from reloading each
time a link button is clicked. In other words I just want the movie
to load once on the home page and the integrated buttons to work as
links to other html pages without the movie reloading on each
page.

well, lets start with the top one, since its an interesting
way to do things anyway.
when you look at your html file, (or asp or php) you'll be
able to see the .swf file embedded in there. If you attach
variables to the back of that using a script...
"yourflashfile.swf?VARIABLEA=yesssss"
that will pass a variable to your _root timeline called
VARIABLEA with the value of "yesssss". You can use that directly in
your html, but if you want the variable to change, you'll have to
use a script. I like to use php because its free and open source,
and very easy to find online help.
http://www.13studios.com/whatever.php?VARIABLEA=no
------ doesn't work, dont click.
Would pass your php file VARIABLEA with a value of no. So you
see we can now connect the two by using a php echo command...
<?php echo "$VARIABLEA" ?> or <?=$foo?>
can you put that jumbled mess of answer together
successfully? :D Lemme know!

Auto-generate new form as additional page

I have a form I created in Adobe Acrobat. Is there a way that Acrobat can be set to auto-generate that form on additional pages as the need arises or is the only way to do this is create the additional pages initially?

Yes, a form created in Acrobat can do this by spawning a hidden template page using JavaScript. If it has to work with Reader, however, you users will have to use Reader 11. It can work with older versions of Reader, but only if the document has been Reader-enabled with LiveCycle Reader Extensions, as opposed to just Acrobat.

Open new tab with home page displaying

i want to know if when you open a new tab your home page can automatically appear instead of a empty page. How can you do this? thank you

You can do that by using an add-on such as:
* NewTabURL - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl
* New Tab Homepage - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage
Another way of opening the home page in a new tab is to middle click on the home button in the navigation toolbar.
