Output Link and Command link problem

I have this command link that I want to redirect to a certain url, a complete one with the Http://www.webpage.com.. and its value is Goto This Page..
lets say I want it to pass through a certain backing bean before redirecting how am i supposed to do it...?
before it was this simple:
               <h:outputLink value="http://www.wepbage.com">
                    <h:outputText value="Go to this page"/>
               </h:outputLink> but this could says that the action attribute is not valid for an outputLink..
thanks in advance.. :)

Here's the stack trace but i can't seem to find which particular thing is causing this..

Solaris 10 x86 cdrw trouble. Gnome and command line problems writing.

I'm experiencing general weirdness trying to write CD's and DVD's using a new internal DVD-RW device -- It's a Sony NEC AD 7220 A CD / DVD RW drive on a Solaris 10 x86 AMD system. I have searched far and wide for other threads of similar instances but no one has posted an issue like the one I'm having.
I have a Sony Optiarc AD 7220 A CD-RW on a x86 AMD Athalon 1.6 ghz based server with 2 GB RAM.
The DVD-RW drive gets detected by BIOS (Phoenix TrustedCore 2.3) and reads disks fine. I installed Solaris 10.08 from DVD using this DVD-RW drive.
However, trying to write to new blank media does not work properly, (effectively at all).
I've tried different brands of brands of blank CD's and CD-R and CD+R (have not tried using CD-RW disks yet). Ditto with DVD's - tried DVD-R and DVD+R's.
1. Inside the Solaris 10 GUI (Gnome, a.k.a. Java Desktop), when I put in a blank CD-R, a dialog box "Format Media...?" pops up. If I click "Ok" it formats the blank CD and closes the session, CD has been written to and is ruined.
2. I open a terminal window, as root, and put in a blank CD. "mkisofs r /home/foo 2>/dev/null | cdrw i p 1" will write a directory tree OK, but if I go back into gnome GUI and open and close the CD tray, again, up pops the "Format Media..." dialog box instead of the CD appearing on the desktop. If I restart vold (svcadm restart volfs) then open and close the CD tray, voila, the contents appear on desktop as CD icon.
3. When I try to write to a DVD-R: "cdrw -i /local/iso_image" It always fails with: Write Track 1....Failed. after a few minutes. It did in fact write part of the .iso but bails out with a failure.
I've tried various other write commands (specifying the device ID, speed, so on and so forth) and command line switch options (following the rules of course) and it seems to me to be more than a syntax / media issue. However if it is I would like to know. I did see a similar CDRW device on the HCL for OpenSolaris with a 'reported to work' rating. That was for a Optiarc AD-5200A, which is going away thus my company has chosen to use the AD 7220A in speciality racks we build and deliver to the U.S. Navy.
I really need to get a handle on this CD-RW device issue and decide if a different brand / model is what it's going to take to solve this and move on to producing and delivering these systems in working conditions.

Sony systems are often very particular about what CD's and DVD's they'll take. I have several Sony systems that I use for video work and they'll read almost anything but they'll only write to DVD RW. They also don't like cheap brand CD's and DVD's. Be sure to try both CD RW and DVD RW before doing anything else. Because of the requirement for DVD RW, they won't take fast speed (16x) DVD's, just 4x. If all of this turns out to be the case, you may want to go with a different manufacturer for the drive, DVD +RW 4x aren't always easy to find in the store.

Sound problem and command prompt problem

hi
My new cq40 610tu compaq laptop works with only left side speaker is it build with only one left side speaker? Is there no dual speaker? But with head phone two headphone speaker works properly. tell me details.
another problem when we open command prompt in winxpSP2 it is not stable after few seconds it turns off automatically. When I type large things in ms word 2003 cursor goes different place automatically. whats the problem?
I purchase this laptop just 15 days ago. What's the solutions?
thanks
Dhiman

Hi kbzone,
... there should difinitely be no sparks ) I recommend that you start with checking the wiring ... is the computer connected to earth, is the amplifier? Are they connected via the same power socket? Are you sure that the amplifier is OK?
Then, will it be possible to have any sound from the card if the amplifier is not used? You can try removing cards, uninstalling drivers and then re-install ...
It is well possible that by now you have damaged your soundcard, btw

Link between output type and the email id in me22n ?

Hi,
Can anyone plz explain the link between the output type and the email id maintained in the address data in ME22n ?
The output type is configured fo rsending Email .Whenever i maintain the email id in the address data the outptu type gets triggered automatically but if I leave it as plank the output type does not get triggered.
Can any one explain this dependency?
thanks in advance
regards,
Ashwin

Hi,
It depends on the output record that you have used, what is the key?
It is no different that printed POs where the Printer Id is not specified in the communications tab of the output record. If the systen can't find where to send the output to it will not generate the record.
If it did generate the record without the email address, what would you expect to happen? Where could it send it?
It is far better to get the warning message "unable to determine ......" that to simply save the PO without the email addrerss.
So I would simply see the warning message as an indication that the email address is missing and fill it in before saving.

JSF Command Button and Command Links

The main page of my JSF application has a Save button and Command Links. After making any changes on the main page the user should click Save before using any of the Links. Most of the time almost all users do this. However, some users are making changes then clicking a Link, thereby losing their changes.
I could always execute my save method in the backing bean when a link is clicked, but, most of the time this would be doing a lot of processing which usually would not be necessry.
Is their some way to check if any changes have been made and then doing the save only when necessary?
Regards,
Al Malin

Anybody?
What would be beneficial is something like this. If somehow it could be determined if any of the JSF fields on the page were modified. Then, in the backing bean method that handles the ActionEvents for the links, I would check if changes were made and, if so, call my save method.
In other words is it possible to determine, in the backing bean, whether or not JSF fields have changed?

Al Malin

InDesign to Adobe Acrobat to Adobe Reader Link problem

Hi - I'm responsible for a long conversation about link problems in creating file links in InDesign that did not work in Acrobat. At the end of that long discussion, I thought I solved the problem, but didn't. Since then, I've been MUCH more observant.
The problem appears to take place in Adobe Reader.
My home computer on Win7 is different than my work Computer (XP), but I have the same software on both.
At work, I discovered that when I clicked on a PDF, it worked fine, that its links opened a new PDF window, but when I clicked on links on the second document, the links failed and Microsoft returned an error message telling me that I was screwed. Because I was screwed, I couldn't see what was in the path of that error.
It turns out that for some unknown reason (which you might clarify for me), my Adobe Readers are attempting to open my documents in Internet Explorer and that just won't work.
What I observed at home is that I made 5 test documents in ID, and ported them to Acrobat. As it turns out, my default for opening PDFs is Adobe Reader, which I saw on the chrome of the first document I opened. When I clicked a link, and I got the error message, I noticed my browser was up.
When I set my default for opening in Acrobat, everything worked like a charm! How about that!
Now then, what that says to me is that Adobe Reader is to be used exclusively with a browser, so if the people who are going to read your internal PDF files with Reader without those files being on a web server of some type, you are totally screwed. The only way you can use Reader is if you click on the file and bring it up directly. Don't rely on linking to other documents.
I mean, that is what it seems to me.
Now, I am creating a big project for an environment without a webserver and obviously my sense of panic is palpable. That said, I believe that all my users can read my files using Acrobat (to be tested tomorrow), which I hope means I can breathe a bit easier.
Do any of you have any thoughts on this subject? If you are really curious, I can make a packet of test files available.

Karen_Little wrote:
The files and the PDFs are all in the same directory.
The tests are on local drives. All indesign files and their related PDFs were in the same directory.
The same for Word and its related PDFs. Note that the PDFs created by Word then read by Adobe Reader worked correctly. They all opened in Adobe Reader.
If the default program for opening PDFs is Acrobat, everything works correctly, with the added benefit of everything opening in a different window, which is what I want (yet to be tested at work). If the default program is Adobe Reader, the second generation of links do NOT work because Reader opens in Internet Explorer.
When I open a Word-created PDF with Acrobat, view the link, and click to the Actions menu, the action is "Open a file"
When I open an InDesign PDF with Acrobat and do the same, the action says "Open a web link"
Big BIG BIG bug.
Are you seeing the link commands by editing them in Acrobat? If not, try, so you can see the exact command and file or URL instruction. It still may be a bug, but you'll have better evidence when you report it here:
Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
And, you might want to try correcting a link command in Acrobat, to see if can work for both Acrobat and Reader.

Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 installation link problems.....HELP !!!!!!

Hi All
During installation of Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 on Linux, I received the following error:
Error:
Error in invoking target install of makefile

I did some research and found that it is executing the "relink" script. So I tried to debug it it. Here is the output:

Before installing Oracle 9.2 on linux (i'm using redhat 7.2), there are some steps you have to issue.
Those link problems are related to the wrong version of binutils, you need binutils-2.10.0.18-1.i386.rpm
You need also JDK,to set some kernel parameters and so on..
However follow the steps of this link http://www.puschitz.com/OracleOnLinux.shtml
For me it worked.
Hope this helps

Linker problems

Hello
I am transitioning from jb to borland nb5(so much faster) and I have an app that works fine in jb that I have packaged into a jar, aa.jar. In nb5 I have an applet that uses a class from aa.jar and it compiles. However when it runs I get the NoClassDefFoundError. This is like an old C linker problem. What commands do I need in build to create an execution environment to use the class form another "external" jar? tia.

Here's a hint: drop those IDEs for a minute (or a week), step back, go to the command line and learn how to do all that stuff with just the stuff the JDK provides. This way you'll learn pretty much everything you need to learn about classpath and co and you'll have a much better understanding on what to look for when you need to do it with the IDE.
The IDE should help you do stuff, but you should not be depending on it.

"Link Problem" in Incident Form does not seem to work right? How do I do it correctly?

1. The Link Problem tool in the task pane on our Incidents, do not seem to actually link the Incident to the Problem.
2. I can link the two by going to the Problem and adding it on the related items tab, but this is very time consuming in a call center environment, especially during an outage where we are relying a lot more on Problem and root cause analysis.
3. I have tried creating the incident and applying, then doing the Link Problem tool and selecting the problem, then applying again and selecting OK to close the incident. Again it doesn't work for me.
What am I doing wrong, number one?
Can we do this without manually opening the problem for every incident and attaching from there?
3. Can I build an incident template that will automate the Attachment to the problem at creation? (Tried this today to and it wouldn't work, but then again, the Link Problem might again be the culprit) This would be great for real time saving during
an outage. Once outage is found, I could create the template with all the necessary items filled out, and would like to have it automatically attach to the specific problem I choose at template creation, and that way analysts can simply apply template, and
click OK when they get a call related to the outage.

Thanks for the response Thomas!
The functionality seems to work just fine. I use the LINK PROBLEM and it pops up the problem search box, I search for and select a Problem, I then select it and click ok, and I get no error saying the relationship was not created.
The problem is, when I open the problem after that, there is never any relationship showing in related items there, as it says there should be.
Also, to point out, I am talking about newly created Incidents. I tried even using APPLY prior to doing the LINK PROBLEM but it still did not work. I suspect it may be a workflow problem, where the workflow to create the incident has not completed, there
for the relationship is not completed.... and I get no error.
In my work environment, we have analysts during outages taking a call every 30 seconds, and I need a more efficient way for this system to work. As of now, they spend 1-2 minutes doing the ticket, and that is too long.
I have decided to try a newb way, where I created an Incident (GENERIC OUTAGE) that folks can use, and every 15-30 minutes during an outage, I can open the problem and search for open incidents with that title, and attach all that I find from the problem
side. This is assuming that once attached they will not show up in the search to attach the next time lol. Also this assumes that if attached from the problem, they will auto resolve when the problem is resolved.
I am rusty on my programming, and am currently trying to get refreshed. I am sure that would come in handy for this :)
Oh and lastly, one additional tidbit that will make this clearer, with regard to work flow, we re also running our Service Manager in our help desk, virtualized, as they have not upgraded to Win 7 yet :(. So that compiles my time to add ticket issue :(.

CSV Output link not shown

Hi,
the CSV output link is now shown in Easy- and SQL report. How to ? - I did check Yes and named it in the report attributes page.(1.5.0.00.33 - IE6.0)
TIA brgds
Bernhard

two things are necessary for your csv download link to appear:
1) you need to have enabled csv output in your report. you said you've done that.
2) the report template you're using needs to have the substitution string #CSV_LINK# somewhere on it. that's the string into which your link is substituted.
please take a look at your report template to see if you have that sub string it. hopefully that's your issue.
regards,
raj

Problem with output string to command

hey i have no idea why this aint working
its a simple output string to command.
what it is supposed to do is make a new directory given by the input string
e.g. mkdir /home/luke/dep
thanks for the help
//methods input save files
     saveFile = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Save Files To : ");
     //method command for saving files
     //Stream to write file
     FileOutputStream fout;
     try { Process myProcess = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("mkdir" + saveFile );
      InputStreamReader myIStreamReader = new InputStreamReader(myProcess.getInputStream());
      fout = new FileOutputStream ("file.txt");
      while ((ch = myIStreamReader.read()) != -1) { new PrintStream(fout).print((char)ch); } }
          catch (IOException anIOException) { System.out.println(anIOException); }

What you fail to understand is that "aint working" and "Problem with output string to command" tells us absolutely squat about what your problem is. This is the same as saying to the doctor "I'm sick" and expecting him to cure you. As mentioned by Enceph you need to provide details. Do you get error messages? If so post the entire error and indicate the line of code it occurs on. Do you get incorrect output? Then post what output you get, what output you expect. The more effort you put into your question the more effort others will put in their replies. So until you can manage to execute a little common sense then the only responses you will get will be flames. Now is your tiny little brain able to comprehend that?

Re: Fwd: Link Problems With Borland C++ 4.52

I have seen this problem before in another context, and I'll offer the
cause and solution in the hope that they will apply to the Crystal problem.
Many Windows based applications rely on PASCAL calling conventions, which
change the way parameters are handled in function/method calls. They
indicate this by placing one of the following immediately before the
function name in the prototype declarations:
- pascal_far (or something like that)
- WINAPI
- some other typedef of either of the above
For example:
int WINAPI AddTotal(int valueA, int valueB);
Unfortunately, v2.0 of Forte does not provide any mechanisms for changing
the calling conventions of the prototypes in the generated C++ wrapper
library, so when you compile that code, the linker fails. I think that the
compiler may generate different symbols depending on calling conventions,
so that's why it fails.
To fix this, don't autocompile your code, but generate the distribution, go
into the generated C++ files and look for the function prototypes (I think
you can search for FORTE_NO_PROTOTYPES), add WINAPI to the appropriate
places in the prototype definitions (see above) and use fcompile to build
the library. Instructions for fcompile are in the Interfacing With
External Systems manual.
Hope this helps,
James

James,
Thanks for your quick response. Yesterday we had been running down
the path of examining the calling conventions and trying to change them
to PASCAL, but without much success. After receiving your note, we
went back over it again, and this time we were able to finally to piece it
together. In addition to editing the Forte-generated .cc file to declare
the functions as PASCAL, we also had to turn off the compiler's case
sensitivity. (The Crystal .lib file had the function names in mixed case,
but the Borland compiler was generating all uppercase for the names.)
Now I had actually tried this yesterday and it didn't work (in fact it
generated a whole bunch of new errors) - because until we took a
second look at it today, I didn't realize that Borland's linker actually has
TWO flags that control case sensitivity. If you only turn one or the
other off, things can get pretty ugly looking. As soon as we turned
both of them off, the compile and link went beautifully. Again, thanks
for your help; hopefully we are over the worst of it now!

indicate this by placing one of the following immediately before the
function name in the prototype declarations:
- pascal_far (or something like that)
- WINAPI
- some other typedef of either of the above
For example:
int WINAPI AddTotal(int valueA, int valueB);
Unfortunately, v2.0 of Forte does not provide any mechanisms forchanging
the calling conventions of the prototypes in the generated C++wrapper
library, so when you compile that code, the linker fails. I think thatthe
compiler may generate different symbols depending on callingconventions,
so that's why it fails.
To fix this, don't autocompile your code, but generate thedistribution, go
into the generated C++ files and look for the function prototypes (I think
you can search for FORTE_NO_PROTOTYPES), add WINAPI tothe appropriate
places in the prototype definitions (see above) and use fcompile tobuild
the library. Instructions for fcompile are in the Interfacing With
External Systems manual.
Hope this helps,
James

>>
Reports' Report Engine. We are using Borland C++ version 4.52.
Unfortunately, we have been unable to get a clean compile after aday
and half of effort. We get as far as the link stage of the
compilation, and
the compiler aborts with an "Unknown symbol" error message foreach
of the functions we are trying to wrapper. We have tried a numberof
ideas to fix this problem, and are continuing to try to solve it on
our own,
but any help would be greatly appreciated. Please have someonecall
Alaiah Chandrashekar at the number above as soon as possible.
Thanks!
