Perform queries to external web sites.

Hello,
I would to know whether there is any way to perform queries to different web sites from a Java program.
To make it clear, i want to perform a search query to a business directory(yellowpages.com), in order to get back the list of businesses available at a specific area.
I have to mention that i couldn't find any web-services available for that for the UK.
Thank you for your help and sorry in case that the topic should have been posted somewhere else.

Links to External Web Sites

I'm using Authorware 7 in a Windows 2000/XP environment. I
have a series of AW pieces that were originally created to run on
our intranet. Now, I'm trying to convert them to CD versions.
Consequently, I'm going through and changing all my GoToNetPage's
to JumpOutReturn's. That works fine for the documents, SWF files,
and WMV files. However, when I try to use JumpOutReturn on external
Web sites, they fail. Specifically, if I use something like
JumpOutReturn("","
http://www.studygs.net/"), a
dialog box opens with "Where is the EXE for ? " in the title bar.
In desparation, I've also tried JumpOutReturn("iexplore.exe","
http://www.studygs.net/"), and
that opens Internet Explorer, but it opens Internet Explorer to its
home page,
not to the specified Web site. (I really don't want to do
that, anyway, because these CDs are for external distribution, and
I don't have control over which browser they will be using.) I
suppose I could get around this by publishing for the Web player,
rather than publishing with runtime, but I'm trying to avoid that
because I don't want these external folks to have to download and
install the AW player. I'm hoping someone has found a resolution
for this problem!

Try adding the page and extension to the URL?
JumpOutReturn("","
http://www.studygs.net/index.htm")
The .htm (or whatever extension) may help it find the default
browser?
This is a problem often noted on Mac delivery but not so
common on Windows.
If you can't get it to work, try baOpenURL (I think it is)
from buddyAPI
http://www.mods.com.au
And Steve's suggestion too, of course.

Solaris 10 11/06 - Cannot access external web sites from server

Hi,
I am relatively new with Solaris so I hope this is something simple. I just installed Solaris 10 11/06 with the `Secure By Default` option.
From the command line I can use dig and nslookup to resolve external web sites fine, but if I try to use the update conection manager (desktop), mozilla browser (desktop), or pkg-get (command line) it fails to resolve the external sites. I have a valid resolv.conf file and I have named installed and running.
It is on a LAN with other servers that have no problems with external access. I am running as root in all instances, so is there some permissions issue I am missing with this install/release?
I don't want to open up the install more than I have to.
Thanks,

Hi again,
I figured it out. The nsswitch.conf file was not referencing dns as part of the `hosts` and ipnodes` resolution methods. Once I added this and restarted named it worked.
group: files
hosts: files dns
ipnodes: files dns
networks: files

You should make your sidebar1 and sidebar2 fixed positioned. Make your content DIV fluid.

What URL for E-recruiting page to use from external job posting web site

Hello,
What is the standard SAP entrance back to E-recruiting from an external job posting site? We have sent our job postings to an external web site vender (Monster) to be posted for candidates to review. On the review page at Monster is the Apply Now button for a particular job. When the candidate clicks the Apply Now button, we would like the job detail to show within E-recruiting for the reference code of the job posted. Otherwise, the candidate has to repeat the job search within E-recruiting to get to the referenced details. Currently, we have a custom enhancement to populate the reference code (parsing it from the URL) to the Job Search page so at least the candidate can click one more time on the search button and the details display. Is there a standard page or better way to get to the job details in E-recruiting without custom enhancements coming from the external job posting web site?
Using BSP and non-XI platform
ECC 5.0 E-recruiting version
Please advise,
Cindy

Hello Cindy,
this is not very difficult and completly possible within the standard application functions. As you show all position data already in the page of the job board (like Monster) you use a link which dirctly referes the applicant to the page where he enters name and mail-address to apply for the job (if he like to see the postion instance again this page do includes a link to the data overview).
The link you use is the same link used in the "request for application" correspondence with which you can request a candidate youidentified in your talent pool to apply for a position.
The link should be available directly if you use the XI integration scenario but can be created very easily. Only 2 things to know:
- do you use the standard posting channel ID 0002 for external postings or have you confiqured a custom posting channel for posting at monster
- how do you get the job information to the monster guys. As you wrote you do not use the XI integration, so have you created a customer own publisher to dump all information to a share where monster is reading it automatically or do you maintain the publications by hand?
If you could give me this information i'll post the easiest way to get the link.
Best Regards
Roman Weise

Customer request: better support for Flash-heavy web sites!? Feasible?

The company I work for (a SUN partner) is currently engaged in a desktop virtualisation project at a customer who is in the health care sector. Of course Sun VDI isn't the only thing they have been looking at. But so far we've always come out on top.
PanoLogic and their "Pano Cube" thin-clients were looked at but never really considered. The argument being "Nobody is using that!" and they don't want to play "Star Trek" and "boldly buy things nobody has bought before". So it was "Thank you and bye bye PanoLogic". However ... PanoLogic is on their radar now and they might still go back one day ...
Next up was VMware View. They didn't like what they saw. So for now they will keep their ESX and vSphere servers but VMware View is out of the game for now.
So right now there is still us with our Sun VDI / Sun SSGD offer and a competitor with their Citrix offerings. So far we've always managed to tip the balance in our favor.
This Wednesday though we had a few of customer's managers visit us. They wanted to see a Sun VDI 3.1 live demo. All was fine, all was well, and we had the impression that they were so close to giving the "go ahead", when one of the pro-Citrix guys opened two web sites in his VDI demo session:
http://www.adiacom.ch
http://www.2advanced.com
Both sites are extremely extremely Flash-heavy.
And of course: The performance was sub-optimal. We were running this on a Sun Ray 2, 1600 x 1200 pixels. Even though the sound was tip top in both the Windows XP and in the Linux sessions (they admit that in all the other products they have tried so far the sound was choppy or there was even no sound at all .... ) the video was slightly out of sync. And the web site "2advanced.com" took too long to load.
So now all of a sudden the ability to play these two web sites "tip top" on a Sun Ray 2 is THE killer argument for them. It doesn't even matter that all other solutions they have looked at can't show those two web sites at all, now it's all of a sudden that Sun Rays and Sun VDI just "aren't good enough" at playing those two web sites.
Customer is king. Customer is always right.
So ... anyone here from Sun have any suggestions how we might improve performance of those two web sites inside the VDI sessions? Is there anything we could tweak and tune inside VDI 3.1 to get the max performance out of our setup?
Or are there any products in the pipeline like new Sun Ray clients with improved multimedia performance that I could tell them about so we could keep them interested in Sun's products ... ?

Greetings oh Master :)
We don't have flash acceleration for LinuxI know. And yet the "adiacom.ch" web site performed better on Firefox & Ubuntu than on Win XP-SP3 & MSIE 8.
only XP and W2K3.I know
Are you using the MS-RDP severSun VDI 3.1 ... I get the VDI login mask, I login, I pick a Windows XP desktop from the available pools, and Windows XP appears. The desktops are provided via VMware vSphere.
viewing the site via IEUnder Windows XP, yes.
and have the Flash acceleration bits installed?I remember installing various multimedia bits that can be found in the "Supplemental" sub-directory of the SRWC 2.2 ZIP file: "SunMMR" and "SunWinUSB". But now that I look at the web page you linked to I am a bit confused .... Did I install an old version? I will have to check that again and make sure this stuff is really really installed.
Thanks for that link!

I replaced my hard drive and I backed up my files on an external hard drive but when I reloaded my iweb to my imac none of my files were on it so I can't make changes to my Published web site have I lost my files what can I do

I replaced my hard drive and I backed up my files on an external hard drive but when I reloaded my iweb to my imac none of my files were on it so I can't make changes to my Published web site have I lost my files what can I do

By default iWeb keeps its data in (user)/Library/Application Support/iWeb in a file named Domain. Without this file you cannot proceed (other than by recreating the site from scratch using the published version as a reference) so you need to locate it on the original disk.
To confuse matters, Apple have hidden the user’s Library folder in Lion and Mountain Lion to casual viewers, in an attempt to stop new Mac users messing their machines up. To access it, in the Finder go to the ‘Go’ menu and hold down the Option (Alt) key; the Library folder will appear as a choice.

When using a web site that opens a window within a window, Firefox doesn't perform this task as it normally would, but Internet Explorer still performs it as it should. Does anyone know what the problem is?

This seems to be a problem with secure sites ie my banking and university web sites, once again it is when a new window is meant open up.

Editing a Web site SWF file

Funky, allow me to try again. right words are difficult for
me come by but I try.
I have a Web site that uses a 260K Swf file for presentation.
My original designer is no longer available.
I am trying to make changes to update some of the info on the
site. I have been able to update jpeg images
in photo gallery which is an external xml file to and opened
by the swf file. additionally I have updated some of the
images within the "master" swf file using Eltima decompiler
software.
I am now try to update some of the Static Text files within
the "master" swf file.
I am using a MAC with the Eltima Decompiler and CS3 Flash.
This is my first attempt to update/edit
Static text.
If you could quide me toward a correct course, I would
appreciate it.
I open the "master" swf in eltima and extract only "text" I
am not doing anything with images, buttons etc.
I convert that ouput into Fla. A "master"_conv_fla file is
created along with a folder called text that has multiple
Static Text xx.swf file within. The fla file opens in adobe
but doesnt contain the file I want to update.
using Eltima I open the Static text 53.swf, perform an
extract and then convert that to a Static text 53_conv.fla file
that opens in adobe.
Here I am lost. I have used trial and error to get a
response. I might mention that the original designer used Adobe 6.
With the Static text 53_conv.fla file open in adobe I seem to only
be able to make changes when I click on
Edit Symbols. I make changes and do a Save As so that Adobe 8
is used. I assume Adobe 9 might not allow my file to function.
After saving I Export the result back to my computers texts
file. That file then appears as Static text 3.swf.
instead of Static text 53.swf
It has the results I want but I don't know how the make the
changes take in the Static text 53.swf file.
I am not even sure the steps I have taken above are even
correct. It was all I could do to get any result.
Your guidance would be appreciated

I'm a relatively new convert to a Mac and I have to say that this is the first time I have been disappointed by my choice.
I have quite a few webs that I maintained with FrontPage and now I will have to drop them because I can't take the time to re-do each page within the sites just because I can't import the html coding into iWeb.
It would be nice if the authors could make iWeb a bit more friendly in that regard. Even if only the basic layout, text, images and/or image holders could be imported, that would help.

Configuring multiple web sites in a single OC4J instance with 10g OEM

Hi There,
there doesn't seem to be a way of configuring multiple web sites within a single OC4J instance using the 10g Enterprise Manager Website, so can i assume that there's some performance related issues with doing this, or is it just a case of if you want multiple web sites, configure it manually?
We currently use 9iAS release 1 (which has been configured to use multiple web sites - with normally 1 j2ee app in each website - in a single OC4J clustered instance, using mod_proxy to forward the http requests onto oc4j), but we are looking to migrate to 10g very soon...
The initial configuration was done by an external company, so i'm not entirely sure of the reasons why it was chosen (perhaps so that if there was a problem with a single website, it wouldn't impact all our applications)..
Does anybody else currently use multiple *-web-site.xml's in a 9iAS release 2 or 10g in a production environment, and if so did you encounter any problems with the OEM website (assuming you configured them manually)?
Thanks in advance,
Andy

Errors on my web site started with Flash Player Release a few days ago (Mar 28, 2012)

Hi,
I have a Flash based video player on my website. This was designed and implemented based on an article vy Lisa Larson-Kelley. It has run flawlessly for several years. But, when I installed the lastest release of Flash Player a fedw days ago (Mar 28, 2012), I am now getting really annoying issues with the Flash Video Player.
I expect that I will need to place insturctions for users on how to roll back their version of Flash Player, since this latest version is broken.
But, many of the people who visit my site are not tech oriented (they are mostly friends and family, so, I don't expect that they will really roll back their version of Flash player.
I am 100% certain the issue is the latest version of Flash, since these errors never occurred until I installed the latest version.
On my work laptop, I have an older version of Flas (10.x.x) and this probelm does not happen. On my desktop PC at home, I have an older version of Flash 11 installed, and this problem does not happen (in IE9). The version of Flash PLayer 11 where the issue does *not* occur is 11.1.102.63.
On that same desktop PC, if I use Chrome, (which automatically defaults to the latest version of Flash which is 11.2.202.228, I get the problems. So, there is no question that the issue is with the latest version of Flash and not my hardware or drivers. I get the same problems on three different computers.
My website has a username and password. If someone from Adobe wants to replicate the problem send me an e-mail and I will send you the username and password.
The videoplayer on my website is at this url: http://www.jjjhi.com/TryMakingFlashVidPlayer/VideoPlaylist.html (but, you will need the username and password).
The issue is that sometimes (not always) when you select a video to play, inistead of the video loading into the panel as it should (sized as 1025 x 578), instead, all you see is the control skin. The video begins to play, but all you get is the audio. It looks like this:
You can recover from this error by using the skin control to make the image full screen, but, the video looks poor at fulls screen, because it is created at 1024 x 578. You can then get the correct size by returning from full screen, but, I don't want the pepole who visit my cif\deo playet to have to go all through that. Especially since most won't even know enough to try making the video full screen.
This doesn't happen for every video on my web site, but, once it *does* happen once...it will happen for every video selection you make.
This is unacceptable, and it absolutely a function of Flash version 11.2.202.228.
Adobe: Please fix this bug as soon as possible.
I've implemented an HTML5 based video player and have begun populating it with mp4 versions of my video clips, but, quite honestly, the playback using HTML5 is much worse than with Flash. I encoded the clips in the HTML5 player with the same Variable Bit Rates as in the F4V clips, and, in the HTML5 player, there are missed frames, and the audio can get out of sync. So, I *want* to keep using my Flash Based video player, but...if Adobe doesn;t fix this, I will just dial down my VBR till I find one that is slow enough to play in HTML5 and ditch Flash.
My HTML5 video player is here:
http://www.jjjhi.com/TryMakingNewVideoPlayer/NewVidPlayer_option1_jth.html
(again you need the username and password to use it, send me an e-mail and I will give them to you, I just don't want to post them in an open forum).
Here is a bitmap of the page: It is quite snazzy looking and is based on an excellent class from Chris Converse at Lynda.com. But, even though it is 'snazzy looking' the HTML5 player performs poorly on an under-powered machine (like my work laptop). It uses 100% CPU and misses frames and the audio loses sync. The same videos encoded with the same VBR for Flash (F4V) play great, *except for the new issue described above!!!!)
I Adobe can fix this issue with Flash Player 11.2.202.228 ASAP, else, I will have to 'downgrade' to an HTML5 based video player, that, quite honestly does not perform as well as Flash.
If you want to reproduce the problem contact me at my e-mail address: [email protected] and I'll send you the username and password.
You can then prove that the problem does not exist with prior version of Flash player (before 11.2.202.228) but *does* exist with this latest buggy release.
Thanks,
John

Thanks.
I sent the username and PW to you and Chris.

Not able to activate "email us" tab on a web site that previously did work, hosting co says it is not them, and safari works fine-- help!

Mac mini, will not open FF when i select "e mail us" on a web site tab.
This site has always worked before I updated to latest FFversion.
The hosting co checked the links and they are all ok. The email us function is performing with Safari.
I repaired permissions on the mac, but no help with this problem.

OK, I realize now that I need to upload to the web site the version of the PDF with the word "_distributed" appended to the file name, not the original PDF file. When I do that, it now gives info at the top about how to submit the form.
So my only question, I think, is what kind of submit button to place on the form itself.
I see there is another kind of button I can place on the page, just a plain "Button". Within its Object Palette, I see a setting called "Control Type", with choices of "Regular", "Execute", and "Submit".
If I choose "Submit", it asks "Submit to URL...", so that isn't what I want. "Execute" also asks for some info that I don't have. So do I just choose "Regular" for this button? If a user clicks that, does the data get submitted to adobe.com and the responses file?

Hi ITPSB,
Base on my experience, you only write above code into your index page head, also you could add this into every page.
And about the domain redirect, I suggest you could implement a 301 redirect to your custom domain. That will notify search engine spiders that the URL has permanently moved and they will update their index. I suggest you refer to those posts (http://stackoverflow.com/a/13634333)
and

Unable to Access Web Site (with same name) outside of Local Network

Hi everyone,
I have my web site (and some other services) hosted outside of my network by my hosting provider, but handle all other items using OS X Server on my network (i.e. Wiki and so forth).
The problem is now that I am unable to access my website at www.mydomain.com from within the network. I have external DNS set up for www.mydomain.com to point to my website, while mydomain.com points to my OS X Server (static IP address). Internally in OS X Server's DNS settings this used to work when I had www.mydomain.com resolving to the IP address of my web host, in addition to the default domain settings that OS X had set up. For some reason this is no longer working, and I am unable to figure out why.
Using latest version of OS X Server 3.0.2.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Update: this ended up being a redirect issue on the web host. I added another subdomain that was hosted externally, and it worked fine. For some reason my web host is redirecting www.mydomain.com to domain.com.

I am in Texas and cannot get to that site either. Do you know for sure the site is up and working? It could just be down (for days, a site I support was down for almost 4 full days a few weeks ago due to a virus problem).
This may (again, may) be your problem: I see you have a173.48.x.x (you really should x-out the last two octets of your IP address for privacy reasons), I am on a 173.74.x.x address; I know some people have had problems with getting to some sites now that they have a 173.x.x.x address. I think Verizon obtained addresses in that range and some of the addresses apparently previously belonged to spammers or some malicious folks.Some sites (web sites, intermeidate routers, etc.) blocked those addresses, and may not have updated their filters to remove the block on those addresses because they don't know that Verizon now owns them. If this is the problem, eventually those filters will get updated and you will be able to access the site, but this could be a fairly long time.
If you know how to contact that site I suggest you email them about the problem. You can also try turning off your router overnight and when you turn it back on the next day you may find that you have a different address (one that doesn't start with 173) that will allow you to get to the site.
I don't think there is much Verizon can do to help, it is not their site that is blocking your address (at least I don't think it is).
Hope this helps.
