OIM Java Compatibility Question

Hi
We have OIM 9.1.0.2 BP07 deployed in Weblogic 10.3.0 in test env. Our java version is JDK 1.6.0_10. All our adapters are compiled in this version. We are using this version of java since 1 year.
Now we are moving to production, and we are not able to get exact java version which we used in test env in internet. My question is if I install java which is certified by weblogic 10.3(i.e 1.6.0_05) then will I face any issues in OIM? is it mandatory to use exact version of java from one env to another?
Thanks

Does not make any difference with sub versions. The version compatibility comes into picture at a higher level like JDK 1.5 or JDK 1.6.
Consider the connector development team, they develop connectors on JDK 1.6 (could be any sub version) and when a customer uses that OOTB connector, they can use any of those sub-versions within JDK 1.6.
Also the fact that if its your custom adapters then you should be aware that what all java functions you are using and I assume it would be the basic ones, so the version difference should not bring in any issues. If its OOTB connector then see the certification matrix as well.

Custom OIM java client not working

Hi all,
I am trying to execute a custom OIM java client in my server. The java file just has the code to connect to the OIM server and it is failing at the line
ConfigurationClient.ComplexSetting config = ConfigurationClient.getComplexSettingByPath("Discovery.CoreServer");
The basic content of the java file OIMTry.java is given below:
env.put("java.security.auth.login.config", "/u01/apps/resetpwd/config/auth.conf");
env.put("java.security.policy", "/u01/apps/resetpwd/config/xl.policy");
env.put("XL.HomeDir", "/u01/apps/resetpwd");
ConfigurationClient.ComplexSetting config = ConfigurationClient.getComplexSettingByPath("Discovery.CoreServer");
env = config.getAllSettings();
I have set the OIM related jar files in classpath in .bash_profile and able to echo the classpath as well.
However, the file is executing perfectly in Eclipse tool but not from command prompt.The file is getting compiled properly at command prompt.
I have tried various options of executing the java file as shown below.
java -Djava.security.manager -DXL.HomeDir=/u01/apps/oim_server/xellerate -Djava.security.policy=/u01/apps/oim_server/xellerate/config/xl.policy -Djava.security.auth.login.config=/u01/apps/oim_server/xellerate/config/auth.conf -Djava.naming.provider.url=jnp://oim_server_host:12401/ OIMTry
java -Dclasspath=/u01/apps/resetpwd/lib/xlUtils.jar:/u01/apps/resetpwd/lib/xlAPI.jar:/u01/apps/resetpwd/lib/xlCrypto.jar OIMTry

Hi,
We were unable to create tcUtilityFactory instance when the env variables are set using the hashmap.
Instead it is working when we set using System.setProperty() as shown below:
System.setProperty("XL.HomeDir", "/u01/apps/OIMPwdReset");
System.setProperty("java.security.policy", "/u01/apps/OIMPwdReset/config/xl.policy");//server or client
System.setProperty("java.security.auth.login.config", "/u01/apps/OIMPwdReset/config/auth.conf");//server or client
Hope this helps other guys..

Flash/java remoting question

Hi,
i'm new to flash remoting and am finding using it with java
quite troublesome. I've also found using the FileReference class
troublesome if you use java. my question is can you somehow tie the
remoting functionality to the FileReference.upload method
fucntionality??
thanks in advance

I will use the program with photo detector to test
the response time of the LCD screenWhy Java?I second that. With a test like that, you want to reduce the experiment down to a single variable, in this case the lcd response time. Using a java program to feed the monitor input introduces a second variable, the response time of the program. The java program's timer may not be exact, the components may not be repainted completely quickly enough, etc. If this is just for your own amusement, maybe that doesn't matter, but if you want your results to have any reliability, you'll need a more accurate and controllable input source.

OIM Java API silently ignores accounts operations such as enable/disable/revoke

Hi
I am facing a strange situation here.
My Java app (standalone) was able to set provisioned accounts to "enabled" and then disabled these enabled ones.
Now, provisioned accounts can't be enabled anymore.
Commands issued from Java API using ProvisioningService such as "enable", "disable" and "revoke" are being simply ignored. No exception raised, no changes.
Am I missing some step? Do I need to run any scheduled job in order to "commit" these changes performed from the OIM Java API?
How do I debug this?
TIA

Sorry for my ignorance, but where's this "resource history" thing in OIM?
Here's what I am doing.
First, I use the Self Service UI to provision an account. This account belongs to an application instance backed by the OIM Webservice connector.
I suppose it works because after requesting the account, the connector creates it and returns back a unique ID (which is assigned to the account uid) and the account shows up in "my accounts" tab as "provisioned".
So far, so good.
THEN
I run my standalone java app from outside OIM, which uses OIM Java API. This app connects to OIM as xelsysadm, and I search for the account and do something like this
public void enableAccount(String uid) throws AccessDeniedException, NumberFormatException, AccountNotFoundException, ImproperAccountStateException,
    GenericProvisioningException, InvalidUidException {
Account a = findAccountIdByUID(uid);
if (a != null) {
    System.out.println("enabling "+a.getAccountID()+":"+a.getAccountStatus()+":"+a.getAccountData().getData().get("UD_AVNC_USR_LOGIN")); <<< here I confirm I am changing the right account, it is
    ProvisioningService provService = oimClient.getService(oracle.iam.provisioning.api.ProvisioningService.class);
    provService.enable(Long.parseLong(a.getAccountID()));
}else {
    throw new InvalidUidException(uid);
then I expect to refresh "my accounts" tab and see my account status changed from "Provisioned" to "Enabled".
I don't know if these screenshots may help, but anyway
These are the tasks for the provisioning process. I believe the one we're interested here is the #22
these are the status definitions for the process. They're also created by default during the OIM webservice connector module import process I guess
these are the task to object status mapping for the task #22 below, also created automatically I guess.
I am a little bit confused because the OIM manual -- http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E27559_01/user.1112/e27151/myaccess.htm#OMUSG3166 -- says the user can just perform the operations on the accounts, but says nothing about any kind of restriction. I mean, what are exactly the state transition for accounts (the default one)?
TIA

IPaq, Java & 3D Compatibility Question

Note: First off, I'm not entirely sure if this is the right forum to post this in, so I apologise if it's in the wrong place.
Basically, I creating an application that involves creating a 3D landscape via Java 3D and also runs fine on the PC, with the overall aim being to hopefully have it working on a PDA. However, because there's no Java 3D support on any of the JVMs I came across, I'm uncertain as to how to get the whole application working.
I noticed that there's possibly JSR-184, but I'm not entirely sure if it's compatible with PDAs, since I'm somewhat new to Java programming for mobile devices.
What I want to ask is are there are any Java 3D libraries or such that can work on a PDA (more specifically an iPaq rx3715, which uses Windows Mobile 2003, if that helps)?
Any help given is appreciated.

First , i can sure to tell you ,that java 3d can't use in cdc or cldc ,because the library of java 3d is too large , so the jsr-184 or M3G is build for cldc.
But i don't know wether this is compatible with cdc.
And i am from China , a coming graduate , very glad want to make a friends with you .

Platform compatibility question(s) from new user!

I'm confused.
I picked up Java a few days ago, with the intention of converting a long-standing JavaScript project that I have to run as an applet. I downloaded and installed the Java2 SDK (1.4) and associated runtime environment, and a simple but good IDE (JCreator 2).... and I'm happily developing applets to my heart's content. Cool language, by the way.
HOWEVER, none of my colleagues (on IE5/5.5 on Win2K/Millenium) can view my resulting efforts. Their browsers complain that they can't find the class. Works on mine, on-line, just not theirs. I've sadly made the assumption that it's because I've installed the 1.4 JRE and they haven't.
I REALLY want to use 1.4 to develop if I can. My JavaScript project that I'm converting is heavily dependant upon regular expression operations, and it would be a pity not to have them available - but platform compatibility is a must; this is a commercial project.
I'm missing something here, and I need to ask some really fundemental questions.
1. I was assuming that most browsers over 4.0 would support "Java2". Just what IS their level of support, by default. I hate new plug-ins, and the Java ones arent trivial!
2. I had thought that any flavour of Java2 (1.2/3/4) would work on the same virtual machine release, and that new features in 1.4 would simply compile to existing bytecode sequences. Am I wrong?
3. If I have to develop for maximum compatibility with earlier browsers, can I do this with 1.4 and some compiler switch, or do I have to download older SDKs?
4. If the worst comes to the worst, is there a class out there that handles regular expression "style" operations that will work on older releases of the language.
Sorry that there's a fair bit there to answer, but since I can't find this info ANYWHERE on the web, I guess I won't be the only newbie facing such issues.
Peter McKean.

just a few points to add to the other answer :
HOWEVER, none of my colleagues (on IE5/5.5 on
Win2K/Millenium) can view my resulting efforts. Their
browsers complain that they can't find the class.
Works on mine, on-line, just not theirs. I've sadly
made the assumption that it's because I've installed
the 1.4 JRE and they haven't.
Yeah the Java support in IE is whack. The m$ JVM never got past java 1.1.4 compatability for various reasons. So unless you want users to install the java 2 pluggins, you have to code applets with the java 1.1 api. You can still do this with a java 2 sdk - you just have to watch the parts of the api you use.
>>
2. I had thought that any flavour of Java2 (1.2/3/4)
would work on the same virtual machine release, and
that new features in 1.4 would simply compile to
existing bytecode sequences. Am I wrong?Yeah you are wrong ;) . When do do:
import java.<package>.<class>
you are telling the compiler where to find the classes you are about to re-use in your code. You are not including them in your final compiled class files. So when the program runs, it looks for the classes in the classpath. If you use classes that don't exist in an older jvm, the program won't run in that jvm. (Same as if a C or C++ program is dynamically linked to dlls (in Win32) or shared objects on unix - they need to be on the system that the program is executed on.)
hope this helps...

OIM.. challenge questions one at a time

Hello,
I have a requirement in OIM wherein when a user logs, the challenge questions needs to be posted one a time, rather than all the questions. I could not find any hint from system properties or in tables of OIM. Wanted to know if this do-able and if yes, what parameters need to be set?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you..

Does that mean, I have to write a custom code for this feature??

Plzzz write prog to this simple java threads question

Write a program in C to create four processes. The original processes creates
two children before it prints out "PARENT". The children processes print
"CHILD1" and "CHILD2" respectively. The first child process creates a child
process that prints out "GRANDCHILD".
Note: The output must be guaranteed to print out in the following order each
time it is executed:
GRANDCHILD
CHILD2
CHILD1
PARENT
a. Write the program using C or C++ and forks to create the children processes.
b. Write a second program using Java and Threads for the children processes.
The output statements for CHILD1, CHILD2 and GRANDCHILD must come from print
statements in the run method of the thread.

Most people here will not do your homework for you. If you post a reasonable question that shows you've made some effort, and what the results of that effort were, and provides details about what parts you're having trouble with, then somebody will probably provide guidance so that [you can complete the work.

Simple Java Coding Question

I know this is a simple question, but I can't search for the answer to this because it involves syntax that Google and the like don't seem to search for..
I am trying to figure out some Java code that I have found. I would like to know what:
a[--i] and a[++j] mean.
My first thought was that they meant to look at the position in the array one less (or more) than i (j). But that doesn't seem to be the case. A is an array of Strings, if that matters...
Thanks for you help.

It mean increase/decrease the int i/j by 1. This is done before it gets you the value of a[]. for example if i=5 and you said a[--i] it is really a[4] and i is now equal to 4;

Simple Java EJB question.

When it comes to EJB v3 Remote and Local interfaces,
(With JBoss EJB Container Software in mind, for this question,)
-Does the Remote interface for the EJB include method signatures from the Bean class
-that are to be seen
-that are to be hidden?
-Does the Local interface for the EJB include method signatures from the Bean class
-that are to be seen
-that are to be hidden?
Which is which for
-EJB 2.1 ?
-EJB 3.x ?
- is EJB 3.x reverse compatible in that it allows use of the javax.ejb.* interfaces,
and would accept a EJB 2.1 approach, or does it force one to use Annotations
exclusively?

Simple Java Sound Question...

Can I draw waveforms while capturing data? If yes, how. If no, why.
Thanks. I need the answer ASAP, please help.

Hi nfactorial,
Can I draw waveforms while capturing data?If you would like to do that in Java you would need to know about how to use the Java language in general and especially about the Java Sound and Java2D APIs.
If yes, how.It would be too much to explain to answer such a general question. A general answer is, you need to use the Java Sound API to capture the data for which a waveform should be drawn. The Sound API delivers data as a stream of bytes typically encoded in pulse coded modulation (PCM) format. The data stream has digital samples each representing a level of sound pressure for a certain point in time. The stream of samples in the amplitude/time domain need to be transformed to a spectrum of samples in the amplitude/frequency domain, i.e. a number of PCM samples need to be mapped to the frequencies that should be displayed. This is done with the fast fourier transformation algorithm. Each set of amplitude/frequency values can then be displayed as a waveform by using some line drawing logic. The entire process would need to run constantly, i.e. as bytes are received from the sound data stream transformation and drawing is triggered.

Simple java pgm - question

Hallo,
to the following pgm I had question:
static void printPrimes (int max) (= wavy bracket;
boolean(should be angular brackets) sieve = new booolean (angular br max+1
angular br)
int i,j;
for (i=2; i = max;i++)sieve(angluarbr i angular br)= true
i= 2
while (i= <= max;) (=wavy bracket Out.println (i+ " "); // is prime
for (j=i; j <= j+i) sieve(angular br j angularb.) = false;
while (i <= maxAmpersandAmpersand !sieve (angular br angular br)I++;
) wavy br ) wavy br.
I hope this is still kind of readable.
Q's are:
after the first "for" there is a new i=2, which seems to staty at 2 all the time; the following while does not change this value ( the beginning for i++ does not change this) and so seems to print 2 at all times (??)
then the inner loop seems to count up all the doubbles of the new prime number and thrwoes it out as false at the end of it;
the i values (increased with i++ seemsto refere at all times to the unit numbers and only indirect to the un it values, which are written/ assigned to it (??)
I seem to wonder how the pgm can print out anythings else the 2's.
I would appreciate any help to that.

I hope this is still kind of readable.No, it's not. http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting
Why are you omitting the braces and brackets? And why don't you type "program"? Aren't we worth the additional time it takes?
Q's are:
after the first "for" there is a new i=2, which
seems to staty at 2 all the time; the following
while does not change this value Why should it? You don't tell it to.
( the beginning for
i++ does not change this)It does. It just gets re-set to 2 after the for loop-
and so seems to print 2 at
all times (??)Yeah. What else?
then the inner loop seems to count up all the
doubbles of the new prime number and thrwoes it out
as false at the end of it; That part is definitely unreadable.

Monitor Compatibility Question

I plan on purchasing a Mac Pro with the Radeon X1900 XT card in the near future. I have been shopping around for a good monitor, and the Dell UltraSharp 2407WFP (found here: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku= 320-4335) caught my eye. However, at the bottom of the tech specs, it lists only PC under "Compatibility." I know of other people who have used Dell monitors for their Macs, and this monitor does have DVI, so I don't see why it would not be compatible with the Mac Pro. Does anyone know definitively whether or not this monitor would work?

Hello,
You should be just fine. The majority of monitors are listed as compatible with PC's only. The simple reason is that the manufacturers don't care to test them with Macs and have all their resources devoted to supporting what they know.
If they mentioned that it would work with a Mac, then they would be stuck trying to answer your questions on the phone if you needed help. Since they don't use Macs, and don't maintain a staff of Mac trained people, it is easier to just omit official support. That way they can just tell you that they don't support Macs and hang-up the phone.
I've been using PC monitors with my Macs since before Apple even supported PC monitors at all (you used to have to buy monitors with Apple specific cables). I would just use an adapter to convert the PC connector to connect to the Mac video port.
In all my years, I've never found a PC monitor that would not work with my Mac. And, that still holds true today. I've used several low-end monitors with my current machines, and all work fine.
I've even got a bargain basement DVI monitor connected right-now, and it works perfectly.
Basically, if you want official support and a guarantee, then buy a monitor that specifically lists Mac compatibility.
But, if you are willing to accept that their phone support will avoid helping you, then go with any brand you like.
Understand that Dell is primarily interested in selling and supporting Dell computers. They have no interest in fielding calls from Mac users because they are not going to be familiar with OS X. Naturally, they will list PC compatibility because they know Windows very well.
But, you should also understand that the only difference between an Intel-based Mac and an Windows PC, is that the Intel-based Mac can also run OS X. Otherwise, they are just different brands of computers that use pretty much the same hardware.
I hope this helps.
