Post learning followup

Guys need your advice on following :
Any behavioral session is incomplete without a follow-up action plan that the ‘learner’ sets for self with a targeted deadline. These elements could be varied from ‘being assertive to being a team player to improvising time management skills’, etc.
I need a report which captures the learning element/s selected by each individual ‘learner’ and is able to send ‘reminders’ to the ‘learner’, ‘the learner’s manager and the ED group as the target deadline approaches. We could look at possibly 2-3 reminders. This would also enable the reporting manager to have a sitting with the ‘learner’ and together discuss the future course of action (a mini-appraisal). Post every reminder, it will be ideal if we have a function which allows updating the minutes of the discussion next to the previous action plan.
Do you think it's achievable in OLM ??
Cheers

May be standard appraisal + learning path will help in some extend. For reminder may be alert will help.
About create minutes of meeting may be you can use DFF which store the url of the meeting minute document?

Suggestion for a new OCA / OCE exam

I have noticed that there are a lot of candidates who learn for an exam. There seems to be a lot of incentive to studying for the exam and "learning" the material.
However, there are also a lot of candidates who do not understand the 'certification', 'learning', 'followup' processes. It also seems that if there is no reward, such as a certificate, skills and processes are overlooked or misunderstood.
I suggest an OCA (or perhaps an OCE) level exam that tests the candidate for "How to find information on Education.oracle.com, Certification.oracle.com, Certview.oracle.com, Tahiti.oracle.com, OTN.oracle.com"; "What happens after you write the exam and how long do I have to wait"; "Why I should have only one testing ID"; "What is a FAQ"; "Ability to use internet search engines and how to formulate questions"; "Why do forum administrators bother with Forum Stickies", and the like.
While somewhat tongue-in-cheek (or at least cheeky), I encourage thinking about this. We are churning out people who supposedly are professionals, and yet some have no idea what that 'professional' icon means or where to find out more information about it.

Well not an OCA or an OCE certificate but perhaps an OCS, and that could be useful for partners as well. The problem is if offered online it would be abused.
I get concerned when a candidate newly registered for OTN has just passed the high stakes exam for an OCA wonders where their certificate is. It is a concern they don't seem to have researched the certification process much. The lack of familiarity with the certification process seems slightly concerning ... and there is probably a lack of familiarity with the Oracle websites as well, which is not what one would expect from a certified person.
The new OTN registration isn't a definite indicator of a problem here, but it is a strong indicator there may be something unsatisfactory.
Indeed the absolute worse case is an SQL exam online by proxy taker followed by braindump use or a proxy take of the high stakes exams.
In practice I would suspect that an unbalanced delivery of the WDP training or third party training or university training may be a culprit. (and I may be wrong here). (Note there seems to be an increasing tendency for some universities to focus on education by certification study ... ).
I really think it would be useful if a candidate was required to register with Oracle (by means of an SSO/OTN account) before being able to book a certification examination rather than being simply able to goto Pearson VUE/Prometric (This is the case with a lot of other Testing programmes, and was the case with Sun until recently). IMHO This would encourage a good 'first contact' with Oracle and would encourage the following benefits:
- A relationship with Oracle would be established sooner during the exam preparation process.
- There would be an opportunity to point the candidate at useful processes, authorized learning methods and resources via email.
- An earlier point in the learning process to discourage bad learning technique
- The sales people would love the opportunity to sell oracle training.
I think there is an argument for requiring OTN registration at least a month before a certification exam can be booked ... exceptions being if an Oracle University Course has been attended. However the logistics would probably fail on this and it could hurt people who have just left an employment.
Edited by: bigdelboy on 07-Apr-2010 00:57 PS: - Hans - You also didnt great job with one of the sticky announcements. I really think however now that Prometric / Pearson Transition has happened and merge with Sun is stable all the sticky posts should be reviewed and rolled into one entitled something eyecatching like only silly people should not read this FAQ first

VISACOM - Alloc Error using 488.2 USB-B Interface - too many open sessions

I have been having the following issue in my VB .NET RF-ATE application.... It usually happens when my program enters a measurement loop (I.E. searching for P1dB). It begins to solve for P1dB and performs about 15 cycles (sets power level on SigGen and takes SpecAn meas) and then crashes due to the following error :
As Logged in the Event Viewer :
VISA: May 13 09:45:22: Error=bfff003c,"VI_ERROR_ALLOC: Insufficient system resources/memory": ViTable::add - too many open sessions
As Logged in VB .NET :
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' occurred in RFATE.exe
Additional information: HRESULT = 8004003c
VI_ERROR_ALLOC
Not sure why its happening my code is pretty solid (or so I thought) and I believe it closes the VISA session properly after each R/W operation? (See attached). I call the same procedure to talk to the GPIB instruments over and over.
Is it possible that I am not freeing and disposing of resources properly? I have read a little about destructors in .NET etc. but I was under the impression that as soon as "Sub End" is executed that the resources were free'd up? But that doesn't explain why I would get a "too many open sessions" error occour if I am closing the session after I am finished?
Another odd thing to note is that I have created testplan scripts and loaded them into my application with literally hundreds of measurement commands and my program didn't crash then???
I am very new to VB and .NET (3 months) so I have a lot to learn but I can't understand why this is occouring. Any help is appreciated.

Just posting a followup... Turns out I found a way to make it work! (I have been fighting this for almost 3 days!).
If you look at the variable declarations of my procedure.....
Sub GPIB(ByVal Addr As Object, ByRef Data As Object, ByVal IO As String)
Dim ioMgr As Ivi.Visa.Interop.ResourceManager
Dim instrument As Ivi.Visa.Interop.FormattedIO488
Dim session As Ivi.Visa.Interop.IMessage
I use the "IMessage" interface for the variable session.
Just before the "Sub End" is executed I use the following line to close the session :
session.Close
Which it would appear doesn't close the session properly when you use the "IMessage" interface.
So I changed the line to use the "IVisaSession" interface instead :
Dim session As Ivi.Visa.Interop.IVisaSession
Now when the Close method is executed aparently it closes the session properly because my program isn't crashing at all!
I was using VISA COM 3.0 Reference object (GlobMgr.dll).
If anyone has any insight on this please do share.

PCI-6503 RLP Mapping.

Hello,
I have a PCI 6503, and I am developing a driver to run the card. Everything, so far, is going fine.
The driver loads, I have the VID and PID for the device. PNP finds the board and tells me all about it. I have the doc ... "PCI-6503 User Manual" (374938b.pdf) and was doing fine until the appendix B, page 14.
But now I have some concept questions.
The driver is enumerating the resources with memory (and an interrupt) not register ports. I was epxecting registers...
Specifically there are two memory windows, Then the appendix starts talking about remapping memory.
First.... Isn't that a violation of the PCI PNP spec to redefine resource addresses?    Why would this even be an option? It says the programmer has to keep track of what resource is being used... so I have to go into the device manager and look at all the resources, and pick some that are not used? Which is fine until the PNP manager reassigns some stuff. Then the machine is dead in the water...
Next... The next page (B15) has a table of 'register' addresses. But the PCI PNP enumeration didn't give any registers, only memory addresses. Where do these come from? (is it a misnomer?)
Then I just get even more lost... The doc starts talking about BAR0 and BAR1.
Which of ther two memory windows is BAR0 and BAR1? Or are they not it at all?
It says to write to BAR0 + 0x10? Which memory window is the BAR?
(my card came up with fdfff000 and fdffe000, which oddly enough has the memory spaces backwards, not contigous)
Step 3 says write the address you want to use to config space "offset 0x14 (BAR1)". This implies that BAR1 is BAR0 + 0x14. But if they are those memory windows, than BAR1 is 4096 bytes away from BAR0, not a mere 20 bytes away.
How, if at all, does this translate to accessing through registers (outb...)   Or is access only ever done through memory alone?
Clearly, I am missing some fundemental concept here. Up to this point, everthing had been fine.
(I have another simpler question on the interrupt... it can be configured for PORT A or PORTB... Is that only when they are configured as inputs? And is that any specific bit in the port, or the entire 8 bit port? Is that an 'interrupt on change' ? )
And advice is appreciated.
-Scotty

To answer the second question first, I will be developing RLP drivers in the future, because the DAQmx is inadequate. Also, at this stage, I am using it as a learning tool for many other programming tasks.
As to the first question...
Okay, I now see that communication to the card is through memory, not ports. The term 'register' crosses boundaries, as it does not mean 'memory' in the embedded areas I am used to, it means 'input or output port'.
However, I do not understand this MITE concept. I did, however find this post from over a decade ago, but I still can't get it to work:
http://forums.ni.com/t5/Driver-Development-Kit-DDK/MITE-init-in-Windows-driver-stumped/m-p/2950901#M...
I posted a followup, but I don't know if the original poster is even monitoring it.
My goal at this stage is just to get PORTA outputs to toggle.
Here is what I am doing, and as far as I can tell is what I am supposed to do. I have filled the driver with kernel debug messages, and everything indicates it is doing what I tell it (but not doing what I want)
Following the example code on that link, I obtain the base address register, which is translated (when I used the untranslated value, I got a BSOD, doh! ).
I stored the address in my device extension structure so I can get to it later...
Using pages B5, B19 and B20, I disable the interrupts and set everything as outputs:
    WRITE_REGISTER_UCHAR(block->baseAddress + 0x14, 0);      /* 'block' is in my device extension structure */
    WRITE_REGISTER_UCHAR(block->baseAddress + 0x15, 0);
    command = 0x80;    /* ctrl =1, mode = 00, all ports are output */
   WRITE_REGISTER_UCHAR(block->baseAddress + 0x03, command);
Then I have a program that opens the device and just toggles between FF and 00 to port A on a 1 second loop. The IO code does this:
   WRITE_REGISTER_UCHAR(block->baseAddress, pWriteDataBuffer[0]);
Again, all kernel debug messages indicate that it is working (or doing what I tell it to do)
The voltages on the lines on the output terminal block do not change. They are (mostly all) +5V, but never change.
So I have to conclude that the register I am writing to is not the correct memory address to change the PORTA output (or any of the other ports for that matter). but at least it is not giving me a bugcheck, so I know the driver owns that memory address..
So this is where I have stalled. I suspect it goes back to my not underanding the MITE concept. And as a result, do not have the correct base address. And I can't find any description.
And further advice is appreciated.

Work Paths, selections, and general doing my job better question...

I currently work for a company that prints "Fathead" like wall graphics, i set the images up to print for them, but im looking for a better way to do what i do. Specifically my working with illustrator and Photoshop to setup the cut line for each image. Here is my current step by step procedure:
1) Open image (usually a JPG) in Photoshop CS4
2) Using mainly the Lasso tool's i select the subject to be printed. I'm very fast doing this.
3) Copy/Paste the selection i just made into a new and save it as a TIF file.
4) Back to the original selection i Smooth and Contract the line a few pixels and hit "Make Work Path"
5) Export that path to illustrator (which leaves me with an .AI file)
6) From here im done with Photoshop and i open both the .AI and TIF files into Adobe illustrator CS4
7) The .AI file i give a stroke and then on the Swatches tab i hit New Swatch, name it "CutContour", and select Spot Color & RBG
8) I then copy the CutContour line, paste it onto the TIF image, and line it up over the subject
9) From here all that's left to do is make it the right size it's to be printed at and save it as an EPS file and im done.
The main reason im asking for help here is because I'm not happy with the quality of the cutline Photoshop exports to illustrator (the ai file) after i make it a work path. The anchor points and handle's are often in need of a lot of adjustment despite the fact that my selection in Photoshop was right on the money.
One side note that might be a direction for me to head in,...
I recently was given a jpg file from a guy who said he had already made the selection for me. I wasn't quite sure what he meant but when i saved the image as a tif, opened it in illustrator, and hit CTRL-A to select everything i noticed a cutline was already present. After further examination of the jpg in Photoshop i noticed a "Path 1" on the paths tab, and more importantly that cutline when opened in illustrator was nuts on! Meaning none of the anchor points and handle's needed to be adjusted at all.
Now the person who sent me this file was a customer so i can't rightly ask them how to better do my job :-) lol ...but maybe someone here can tell me how they (for lack of a better word) embedded a cutline or path i guess it's called into a jpg file like that? This would at least save me the step of exporting my selection to illustrator as an AI file and im wondering if however they did it is more accurate then the "Make Work Path" option i currently use.

...useing File | Export | Paths to Illustrator is what i outlined above that i currently do...
My apologies for not catching that. Honestly, my eyes glazed over at about step 2 of your procedure.
I'm not happy with the quality of the cutline Photoshop exports to illustrator (the ai file) after i make it a work path.
A couple of possibilities come to mind. What Tolerance value are you using when you first make a work path out of your selection in Photoshop? 0.5 pixel is the highest precision available, and that's what you should use if you want your path to accurately reflect your selection. Be warned, however, that your path will likely end up with a lot of points, making for an unnecessarily complex path. (Try it with a simple circle.)
Another possibility is that you're working with a low-quality, low-resolution JPEG as your source image. JPEG compression artifacts can affect selection accuracy (with automated tools, like the magic wand or eraser), and overall resolution, of course, will limit path precision. Not much you can do about that other than to start with better-quality images.
After further examination of the jpg in Photoshop i noticed a "Path 1" on the paths tab, and more importantly that cutline when opened in illustrator was nuts on!... maybe someone here can tell me how they (for lack of a better word) embedded a cutline or path i guess it's called into a jpg file like that?
Using a low tolerance (high precision) value make a path from your selection in Photoshop and save the path. Save As a JPG, and the path will be saved along with the image. Do not use Save for Web to create your JPG file.
As others have pointed out in earlier posts, learning to use the pen tool is your best bet... and an absolute necessity if you're going to be doing a lot of this stuff.
Regarding the creation of clipping paths in Photoshop, slap me silly, but I'm going to refer you to the manual (online Help) for that. And if you think that unkind, try posting the question over at the Photoshop forum. Wear a helmet.

HI, IN TRAINING AND EVENT MGT

HII
Each employee attending training can be required to complete a Pre and Post Learning Evaluation form. A dynamic action can be included in the system which automatically includes the creation of a date for completion of a Pre Learning and Post Learning form when the training course is booked. The task would then prompt the Line Manager that the completion of the form is due.
The design of the form will be left to local implementation but must include the following:
Pre Learning
u2022     To confirm that proposed learning has been discussed and is linked to personal and business objectives.
Post Learning
u2022     Review that the learning objectives have been met.
u2022     Actions to implement learning in the workplace
u2022     Further review of how learning has impacted business at individual and team level

Hello Prasad,
'Protected' means, that the flag 'input' for the pushbutton of the tabstrip is set to 0. For a normal pushbutton this is allowed but not for a pushbutton which is the title of a tabstrip.
Hoping this clarify.
Kind regards,

Changing my Apple ID and its associated email address

For the past 6 years or so I have used the same Apple ID and email. It started out as an Aol account and is now my [email protected] as my Apple ID. I want to change my Apple ID and its associated email account to Gmail since that is what I use more often now. I see the option to change Email Address has next to it "This will be your new Apple ID", which is exactly what I want to do. I have two questions:
1) I will change the Email Address field to my Gmail address. Will this create any sort of confusion with the DRMed songs and videos I purchased in the past?
2) For posting on these discussion boards I have yet another Apple ID (created kind of by mistake, a long story). Is there any way I can merge the two?

I attempted to do the the same (similar) thing yesterday (Sept 2nd, 2010).
I wanted to change my current Apple ID used for iTunes Store (which was created years ago when I bought my wife an iPod) to be my Apple ID (created when I joined the Apple Developer program way before iTunes).
After changing the information and clicking the "Done" button, I received an error message that was positioned on the "Apple ID" box, which stated "this is not a valid email address". I assumed that the "email pattern filter" was erroneously attached to the Apple ID input box, so I contacted iTunes Store Customer Support.
*iTunes Store Customer Support response:*
+I'm very sorry for the inconvenience, since "<my.user.name>" is already an Apple ID it cannot be used for another iTunes account. At this point, it can only become it's own iTunes account.+
I'm posting my followup question below, in case anyone on the forum has these same questions or has any experience with actually doing what Apple proposed - create a new account to be used with an existing iTunes Library - and has any experiences they might wish to share.
*My followup question to iTunes Store Customer Support (waiting for reply):*
So, what are the implications of creating a new (second) iTunes account?
- Will I keep my same iTunes Library (i.e. Will all previous items be visible, when using the new account to purchase items)?
- How will this affect devices (iPhone, iPod) that are synched to the current iTunes Library?
So, I guess what I'm asking is; "How tightly coupled is the iTunes "account" information bound to the Library"?
I don't want to create a situation where:
- My iPhone and Apps gets wiped out when I sync because it sees a different "account name".
- My Library looks like I have "zero" items (Music/Videos/Playlist) because I've logged into iTunes with a different "account name"
I'm attempting to only change the iTunes Apple ID and email associated with the account for purchasing items through the iTunes Store. I want to preserve all other aspects of the current set up.
Is this possible?

Upgrade 10.3 to 10.4: Kerberos authentication stopped working

Hello:
I upgraded a G5 XServe from 10.3.9 to 10.4. It almost worked - ie: system booted again, all disks are visible, etc. But, trying to log on with a user in the OD hosted on that machine has stopped working... this happens when I try to mount a shared AFP volume, and also when logging on from a 10.4.8 client bound in Directory Access to that server. Logging on under the admin account at the console (over ARD in this case), or via ssh, works fine. I didn't think to try other accounts via that method, I will do this tomorrow morning local time and post a followup.
Upon connecting to the server with Server Admin, a message told me that there were new services which needed kerberizing, and to go to Open Directory and click 'settings'. I did this, and also looked at the overview: netinfod was in local-only mode, while all the others were marked as "Running" (lookupd, slapd, Password Server, Kerberos). In the old 10.3.9 system (ie: where user authentication is working OK), all are marked as "Running".
I clicked the "Kerberize" button, and entered a directory admin username and password as instructed. I think the process completed (unfortunately I didn't get a screenshot). Now, the kerberize button is gone.
At various times when admin passwords were requested, I have to try several; the expected ones didn't always work. Eg: I thought the "diradmin" account was needed in one dialog, but I used the system "admin" account instead. (Sorry, didn't record proper details of those events).
Forward and reverse DNS lookups with the host command work ok - they return the expected IP address.
I looked through a bunch of logs (/var/log/*.log, /Library/Logs/.../*.log), and found a few lines with possible clues... these are shown further down.
I have now tried updating to 10.4.8 (I'm not sure if I should have done it before kerberos was going again, but getting the system up to date does seem prudent). Errors are all exactly the same.
Any hints or suggestions much appreciated! Here's some promising things I've found, which I'll be studying today. I hope to take the server down tomorrow morning again to try this stuff out...

Thanks heaps for your reply
Yes, I did indeed use CDs.
I followed the instructions at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301909-en , but struck problems...

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=ServerAdmin/10.4/en/c7od31.html
step 8 on that page, bullet point starting with "To add a mapping for a record type ..." seems what I want, but have no idea which object class name to use.
Not sure where to go next. I'm somewhat inclined to blow away the OD database, and rebuild it from a backup. I would do this...
On the 10.3.9 system:
- export the OD from WGM
Go into 10.4.8, and:
- in Server Admin, change OD to be standalone only
- reboot
- go back to Server Admin, change OD to be a OD master
- import the records exported from the 10.3.9 system
I will post another update tommorrow.

EXC_BAD_ACCESS KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS What?!

Over the past month I have had repeated app crashes when trying to open Word, PowerPoint, Indesign & Photoshop, either from the dock or from a document. If I restart or in many cases just try a second time the app will open. All logs say the same thing EXCBADACCESS KERNINVALIDADDRESS (with a string of numbers that does change). I have run a hardware test in loop mode for six hours, done an archive and install, switched out RAM, run TechTool Pro's most extensive suite of tests, run Yasu, OnyX, removed external devices, reinstalled 10.4.7 twice, but... at least once or twice daily (more often when the computer has been running for several hours or overnight) when I'm trying to open an app, or switch from one to another it will crash. All tests have come back reporting no problems. Because it involves so many apps I'm wondering if it could be font related, and have reinstalled fonts from Microsoft, etc. I have now begun removing applications, but so far nothing. I've also got three other Macs running Panther, but with very similar configurations, all with no similar problems. I love my new Mac, but would love to get this problem solved. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks Dennis, I'll create a new user account and give that a try. Your answer to my post is "helpful" and after running the new account for a couple of days we'll see what happens. I'll post a followup reply next week and hopefully we'll get this thing resolved. I purchased this Mac in May, so it is relatively new, and originally didn't exhibit these problems. I suppose that if I were to have been following Dr. Smoke's journaling instructions (troubleshooting Mac OS X) to the letter I could say exactly when it began, but no such luck. That's why I was trying to figure out what type of common thread could affect numerous apps intermittently. I did see a post on MacFixit that indicated some users were having problems with 10.4.7 and fonts, specifically Garamond Pro, which I had as my default in Indesign and Word. I have since changed that as well. Anyway, enough rambling. I'll try your suggestion. Thanks again!

10.6.4 and Flash Player.

The 10.6.4 update for Mac OS X includes Flash Player, but not the latest version.
The newest edition of Flash Player is 10.1.53.64 and you can download it from the official Adobe site.

This would be a good user tip. I would construct it as a FAQ:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=632
And post a followup when you are ready saying it is ready for consideration.
Someone needing the latest Flash may find it useful.

Why cant i switch my file to a PDF file on INDESIGN?

Im in a Computer Design class where we had to create a story board and the professor asked us to change our file into the smallest file size and make them into spreads. I have 109 pages and i did what i usually did by going into Adobe Presets and switching everything. But this time around, it notified me that the file has failed to export it into a PDF file. Can anyone give me some suggestions?

Sure. First off, as you are clearly a beginner and this is your first post: learn the lingo. "What are elements, methods, and functions in InDesign called?" It seems a strange thing to ask from a (beginning) designer, but what if you want to draw a plane with semi-circular junctions? (That's a rectangle with rounded corners in ID.)
Any particular reason you chose the scripting forum to post in? "Scripting" is writing lil' programs that can repeat tasks in ID.
"Switch a file to PDF" -- nah. "Export to PDF". In fact, I'm surprised you din't call it that way because you used the Export function before...
"i did what i usually did by going into Adobe Presets and switching everything" -- fah. A preset is just that -- a preset. ID has loads of them. You must mean the PDF presets; and there is a preset called 'Smallest file' (something like that).
As for the actual problem, I have no idea. A quick google, though, using the exact phrase "indesign failed to export pdf" returns some 10,000 hits, and the first one http://hellbox.org/archives/000497.html is an interesting story just to read. Besides, it also mentions a few reasons why export may fail.

Hot spots to trigger image states in Apps

I watched one of Terry White's videos on Adobe TV in which he used buttons (pins) on a map to reveal different images which were basically the different states of a multi-state object. He then output this to an iPad and everything worked fine. I've tried to replicate this as follows:
Draw a box around part of a map, convert it to a button
Create a stack of photo-images in separate frames, Select all of them and create a New Multi-State Object
Select Hidden until triggered option for the multi-state Object
Set the Button properties: On Roll-over, Go to State nnnnn (where nnnnn is one of the images in the multi-object state)
This works perfectly in the SWF previewer, but when I output to Adobe Content Viewer the hotspots don't work, and the top-most object in the multi-state object always shows all the time.
Also, I've inserted a video (MP4) file but it doesn't show in the Content Viewers either. I get sound on the dekstop Content Viewer, but nothing on my Android phone.
Has anyone made this work please?

Terry’s stuff is great but much of it is two years old or more. And SWF is not DPS. Rollovers are not supported.
If you have a Lynda.com account, I invite you to watch my just released DPS Essentials course.
Here’s a link to my blog post announcing the course: http://boblevine.us/my-first-lynda-com-title-adobe-digital-publishing-suite-essential-trai ning-is-live/
If you don’t have a Lynda subscription, there a link in the post for a one week trial.
Finally, please post any followups or DPS related question in the DPS forum, not here.

((bool) -0.5) mishandled by Sun C 5.9 alpha, which causes configure failure

In <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2006-05/msg00027.html>
Bruno Haible reports that Sun C 5.9 alpha for Linux/x86 mishandles the
following test case:
#include <stdbool.h>
char d[(bool) -0.5 == true ? 1 : -1];
This is strictly conforming C99 code, and GCC accepts it, but Sun C
5.9 alpha apparently rejects it with the diagnostic "integral constant
expression expected".
((bool) -0.5) is an integer constant expression, because bool is an
integer type (Bruno's analysis of this particular point is incorrect,
as you'll be able to see when I post my followup to his email). Hence
Sun C 5.9 alpha is buggy.
This bug causes 'configure' to conclude that Sun C 5.9's
implementation of 'bool' is inadequate, and programs typically use
their own (inferior) substitute for 'bool'.
Can you please fix this?
Thanks.
PS. One minor point of terminology. The C standard now uses the term
"integer constant expression", not "integral constant expression". (I
vaguely recall that "integral" was the old term.) So you should
update the wording in your diagnostics.

Here is a test case.
============================= boolcast.c =============================
#include <stdbool.h>
char ac[(int) 3.999 == 3 ? 1 : -1];
char am[((int) 3.999 == 3) * 2 - 1];
char dc[(bool) -0.5 == true ? 1 : -1];
char dm[((bool) -0.5 == true) * 2 - 1];
char fc[(_Bool) -0.0 == false ? 1 : -1];
char fm[((_Bool) -0.0 == false) * 2 - 1];======================================================================
$ c99 -Xa -c boolcast.c
"boolcast.c", line 6: integral constant expression expected
"boolcast.c", line 6: zero or negative subscript
"boolcast.c", line 7: warning: can not declare variably modified type at file scope
"boolcast.c", line 9: integral constant expression expected
"boolcast.c", line 9: zero or negative subscript
"boolcast.c", line 10: warning: can not declare variably modified type at file scopeThe argumentation is as follows:
- ISO C 99, section 6.2.5 paragraph 6, says that _Bool is an unsigned integer type.
- ISO C 99, section 6.2.5 paragraph 17, then implies that _Bool is an integer type.
- ISO C 99, section 6.6 paragraph 6, defines the term "integer constant
expression":
An integer constant expression shall have integer type and shall
only have operands that are integer constants, enumeration constants,
character constants, sizeof expressions whose results are integer
constants, and floating constants that are the immediate operands of
casts. Cast operators in an integer constant expression shall only
convert arithmetic types to integer types, except as part of an operand
to the sizeof operator.
This is practically relevant: These kinds of constructions are used by the
GNU autoconf AC_HEADER_STDBOOL macro.

Use of JAAS in WLS6 for sngle logon

We're in the design stage of a product, which will be based on Weblogic Server 6 and are hoping to use JAAS.
I'm quite new to WL in general and JAAS security and having read the documentation, I'm still not clear on a few points about how JAAS is used in WLS6.
We're intending to provide a single logon for the system and then to log users on to other services such as email etc. behind the scenes, when the user requests them.
Does JAAS in WLS6 support this and if so, how best could we achieve it?
One idea I've read on the Sun site is that you can instantiate multiple LoginContexts at different times during the user session, each using a different Configuration pointing to different LoginModules to achieve this.
A couple of other things I've come across which may be useful in this context are :-
the <run-as-specified-identity> tag in the deployment descriptor
LoginModules being able to share information
Any help much appreciated

Thanks for the reply Alex.
If we just have a single LoginContext with multiple LoginModules, wouldn'tthat mean that when a user logged-on, it would log them on to all of the
services at the same time ?
Yes, that is the sequence specified under JAAS
We were trying to make it so that after the initial logon to the system,the user would be logged on to other services only when they accessed them
explicitly. Does that mean that we need multiple LoginContexts still ?
Unfortunately yes, you will need multiple LoginContext instances to do that.
set configuration
new context
context.login
context.getSubject
Subject.doAs(subject, action)
>
I understand that WLS6 will only provide for JAAS Authentication, notAuthorisation. Does that mean I need to use it in conjunction with the
existing Weblogic Authorisation, such as ACLs and Realms ?
>
The WLS6 JAAS implementation wrappers the existing ACL implementation and is
independant of the realm being used. Internally the Subject.doAs method
checks the ACLs of the user associated with the specified Subject instance.
Can I also ask about the granularity of Resources that can be protected byaccess control. Would these be at the level of Servlets, beans etc.
I believe you can but I'm not sure, check in the documentation on Servlets &
beans or post a followup question in those groups
>
Is the Beta Refresh available for downloaded now ? If not, how soon doyou think it would be ?
>
The beta refresh should be available early the week of 11/13
As regards the <run-as-specified-identity> tag in the deploymentdescriptor. Could you briefly explain its use and whether it would help us
with our logon approach ?
Again I'm not sure, again please post this to the associated group Servlets,
Beans, etc.

Thanks very much for your help again.

Dave,
The WLS 6 JAAS implementation will support what you intend. While there
were
several bugs in the initial WLS 6 Beta these have been fixed in the Beta
refresh, if you need the updated files sooner I can send you a zip.
I would suggest the following. Single LoginContext, multipleloginModules.
Set your first configured loginModule to prompt for theusername/password,
each of the following loginModules can than use that information behindthe
scenes or prompt as needed for additional user info. Configure the first
loginModule as REQUISITE so that it must succeed for the login process to
continue. The WLS 6 JAAS sample loginModule implementation contains theWLS
login information, additional email, etc services can be added to the
Subject container as needed.
