Pre-project help/advice required please

Hi,
I am about to start on a university project for which I have to implement a Java software solution. I am new to programming so I would appreciate any help/advice.
I am intending to create a java site (not JSP) for a company which will allow the company's contractors to post jobs in their particular section of th esite (after they have logged in) they can post, edit, update and print jobs. The company must be able to receive these jobs by logging in and then be able to update the progress of the jobs, i.e. recieved, customer contacted, done etc. There will be approximately 4 external companies providing jobs to start with.
My questions are:
Can I make a Java program to do this and put it on a webpage?
Is it best to use MS Access?
Any tips or pointer?
This is just astart, I am about to start the design process. I am sure you will see my name more often as the project progresses:D
Thanks

While you could use java to create this project WITHOUT using servlet/JSP technology, it would make it far more difficult. As Brenner said, you could use applets instead, but why deal with the GUI yourself when you can let HTML handle it?
I'm not sure why you would not want to use servlet/JSP technology... perhaps you have concerns about the web server being able to use it? That's a possible issue, but if the web server is relatively recent, it ought to support Java. If you can use your own software, use Tomcat... it's Java-enabled, and free.
As for Access... if you have it, it wouldn't hurt to use it. I'm sure there are JDBC drivers available for MS Access somewhere. If, however, you don't HAVE TO use it, I'd download something like mySQL. It's free, and it has free JDBC drivers available. I've used it for school projects, and it's relatively easy to use. No GUI like Access, but I personally consider that a plus ;-)
I'm a web developer for the military, and I use Java exclusively for my applications. In fact, what I do is done in a way very similar to what you're proposing right now. I make extensive use of servlets, JSPs, JDBC for database access (using DB2, which is a pain), JavaBeans, DataSources, and just about any Web-oriented Java technology you can think of. If you have any specific questions about anything for your project, feel free to contact me. I've probably already done just about anything you're going to encounter, so I'd probably be able to answer any questions easily. My email is [email protected] (I'm supposed to limit incoming mail to my military account... too many viruses floating around).

Please please help Advice required- BT home phone ...

Well hi everyone
Newbie here, and am writing in the hope that someone may be able to help us. I'm now desperate and I came across this website purely by chance and I have to say I am so very glad, because this maybe my last place to turn to help. In the text below I have tried to condense everything to explain what has happened over the past 2.5weeks.
For 2 1/2 weeks now we have been having problem with our telephone line and broadband, bt so far have been very helpful, however we are being pushed pillar to post with no-one actually resolving the issue.
The issue? Very intermittent broadband, and if we do have it then we are lucky if we get 235kbps, phone line very crackly and if the broadband is not working, all I need to do is phone myself up and the broadband kicks in. !!
We have spoken to several people, and week 1 they recognised there was a line fault on the line and an engineer was called out, he explained that he had swapped our wires over at the pole. (not quite sure what he meant by that). After that, the broadband starting to die and sometimes it would not work for 3 days at a time. BT arranged for a broadband engineer to turn up (engineer no:2). When he arrived the broadband was working, he tested the line, did everything else and said he could find nothing wrong, but that everything should be fine now. 1 hour after him leaving the Internet stopped working. Rang BT out came engineer no: 3. this was when I explained to him that the broadband only seemed to work for an hour if we received a phone call. He admitted he had never heard of that before but since everything seemed to be working now (and yes the broadband started working 2 hours before the engineer turned up, with a connection speed of 1300kbps) he would change the filter over and hope that this resolved the problem. (we have a fixed faceplate filter).
No this did not solve the problem, BT advised us that it might be the hub, and today we finally received a brand new BT homehub. (after being promised 1 homehub to be delivered last Weds, took a days leave - it never arrived, eventually it was established that the renewals team had forgotten to order us one :-)
It is not the BT homehub. - the phoneline is still awful and my hubby has just phoned me to say the internet connection has just died, except for when I phone him and then we will have connection for about 10mins to an hour.
I have to say BT have been nothing but very helpful, however this is now getting to the point of no return, and the hubby is starting to lose patience
I do hope someone here can help us, or at least advise us on what can be done next.
From someone who is absolutely desperate for any help
With warmest regards
Bells

Good morning again all
I am now tearing my hair out, this problem has been going on for 3 weeks now with no end in sight. The Line engineer rang us on Sunday, I explained to him the problem, and he wanted to check to see if it was a line fault. We went through several procedures of unplugging the sky equipment, unplugging the broadband etc, and he then tested the line and confirmed that none of our equipment was faulty and that it definitely was a broadband problem. He also confirmed that he could also hear the "fax machine" noise in the background. He asked about whether the filter had been changed and I confirmed that we have a fixed filter, and the last time the engineer was here he changed the filter.
He put me though back to the Broadband department, and I then discovered we had to start to explain the issues we were having all over again. Every person I have spoken to has asked, have we changed the filter (YES) do we have another hub to plug in (YES), have you tried a different phone (YES), ....This is getting absolutely ludicrous.
Yesterday at 11am I had a phonecall at work to tell me the line appeared to be fixed as we had had connection for the last 11 hours. My husband rang me to say at 11:30 the broadband had gone off and was again flashing amber, and the phone line was still crackly with the fax machine noise still in the background.
I again rang BT helpdesk and explained the problem was not fixed, they then confirmed that the engineers were working on the problem as they could see there was a drop in connection.
At 7pm last night we had a phonecall to ask whether the broadband was working, I explained no it wasn't. They asked whether we had changed the filter etc, at this point I politely refused to speak to them, and asked that they look at the case notes before asking any further questions. They said they would get back to me.
At 8PM last night we had another phonecall to ask whether it was working, I again explained that one of their colleagues had rang an hour ago to ask the same question, they then asked had we done all the normal checks, and I again explained that they look at the case notes before discussing anything further. He put me on hold, and read back to me the issues, I was grateful at this point that I had not had to explain myself for the 16th time. He explained he would arrange a call back tomorrow morning as he can see that engineers are supposed to be working on the line that night. (I have heard this several times before)
As you can understand I am getting highly frustrated as all I seem to be doing is going around in circles with nothing getting resolved.
Any help would again be appreciated.
Kindest regards

Pre-Project help needed

I have used PE7 successfully with single camera footage from my Canon GL2 (nonHD). Now, I want to add an additional camera to get two simultaneous shots, then edit together in the timeline.
To that end I purchased a Canon VIXIA HFS100. This shoots AVCHD (HD) format. My goal will be to end up with a non HD project in PE7 to then write to standard DVD's.
The new Canon s100 has 5 shooting modes according to file size and quality. Is there a suggestion as to which I should shoot in as I will ultimately not be getting an HD product at the end and the highest quality takes lots of computing power to deal with?
What settings should I be using to import the HD files into PE7?
Any other tips before I get started? This will be a challange for me I'm sure and I appreciate any help I can get ahead of time...and I'm sure I'll be back in the "during"part of the project as well.
Kenny

What do you mean by "matching source footage"? Does that refer to vertically stacking the two video tracks in the timeline so as to be in sync with the audio track?
This refers to getting the source footage from each camera to match in all aspects. DV-AVI Type II is a great format/CODEC to work with, as it is the "native" format of both PrE and PrPro.
As for syncing the footage, the slate/clapper is a good idea. Now, with your case, the live performances, one thing to remember will be that both cameras need to shoot the slate, and then continue to run. Otherwise, one would need to reslate for each "take" for both cameras, and this will not be possible with a live performance. You'll just get more footage, than you will likely use with the second camera, the one used for CU's, etc. Much of it will just "hit the cutting room floor." Were you doing a dramatic, scripted movie, then you would just slate each take, but you will likely not have the leisure to do this.
Not sure what is being suggested by this:
In PrPro, one can turn ON/OFF the visibility of either Video Layer, at will. PrE does not allow for this, so adjusting Opacity is the only way that I can see to "get to" the footage on the lower Video Track. Because PrPro also offers a full multi-cam mode, you get two (or more) monitors to view the individual Tracks.
Now, with regard to your computer. I feel that you will have performance issues trying to use it for the AVCHD footage. Most recommend a minimum of a new Quad-core CPU. Many recommend dual Quads, and some feel that the performance is so greatly compromised by the material, that they adhere to dual 7i's, as their minimum. AVCHD is very highly CPU intensive - more so than other formats.
The 4GB RAM will help you, but I would be curious about your I/O subsystem, i.e. your HDD's, their size, speed, controller type, free space and how each is allocated. Most editing and playback is highly I/O intensive (usually more so than CPU-intensive, but not so with AVCHD), so this is a very important aspect of your computer.
Good luck on your Project,
Hunt

Real help/advice required here:

My aunt (for sure).is with a company called "BE" who supplies her broadband for many years (she is 70+) and she has BT telephone contract for many years in her deceased husbands name (10yrs min) She is looking for advice, told me she spoke to many people over a period of time and they were not english speaking, ( that part I am aware of, foreign call centres)
She requires my help, asked me to get BT broadband for her, why, 'Cos she trusts me..
I am so afraid to move on this, in case I get in a position it all goes wrong, due to many negative feed backs I hear.
I am not really prepared to call "BT" and get knocked from piller to post by: press this number 1,2,3,4 etc and then go through all the rigamole to get a BASIC answer/outcome.
Is it really true that BT, Sky, Talk Talk, BE (who are they?) and others are more interested in thier profits than those, through no fault of thier own and being mostly in their vulnerable/advancing state/years are perperpually unaware they are paying, Cos they are not "savvy" whereas the forementioned companies have no intention of informing those who are vulnerable.
Side Note: Her husband has been dead for min10yrs and contract has and is in his name, she still pays the bills on this telephone contract
Anyone any sincere advice
Definately, not harmless but GENUINE
Regards
Jim

Not sure what your actual questions are here! She should expect the same speed with BT as she's getting now And after she gets the MAC code it'll take a couple of weeks to change over.
Most deals are 18 month contracts. BT has low, medium and high user packages so you may want to ask BE how much Internet she uses each month. If she signs up to a low user package and it turns out she is a high user, she will incur extra charges.
On the account name, they will be able to update it into her name if you want that to be done,

1st gen imac,dual core no power? Some helpful advice requested please....

Please pardon my grammar, sentence syntax and perhaps spelling!
Yes I have read all the gloom and doom posts regarding logic boards etc, what are the chances it might be a power supply issue?
Cord in and out, pram reset, no power light, no response to keyboard, no connected accessories, nothing on screen, no response to attempted insertion of disks, so sound (start up or otherwise), no sound of disk trying to boot etc, etc. Tried alternative cord as well...rarely shut down except for moving unit, days away etc
Please could you helpful guys and girls throw some ideas about what my issue with this rather old (first intel imac early 2006, 2o" screen) but beloved piece of tech might be?
My Imac simply went to sleep one fine spring morning and never woke up. Thanks in advance!!

I am on the phone right now with a product specialist about my iMac G5 power supply issues. Kind of ***** because he has, in so many words, said that the Genius is the Alpha and Omega and can extend the 3 year coverage. For me that is great except that the Apple store is over an hour away. I don't understand why the dude on the phone can't pull the switch and make it happen as well.
Factor in:
Unplugging iMac G5 and all peripherals
Loading it in the car
Driving an hour
Carrying it into the Mall (apple store)
Waiting for my Genius appointment
More than likely getting it fixed for free (from the sounds of things)
Driving back after it is fixed
Doing everything listed in reverse.
Would it just be easier to pay the $108 for a new power supply, wait a few days, undo some screws, and BAM! it works again?
Update. Off the phone now. The product specialist flexed his muscles, back handed the Genius to gain authority, and basically stated that they WILL DEFINITELY repair either the power supply or the logic board or both if needed. I have already had them replace the logic board once. BUT, I still have to load it up and take it to the Apple Store. Boo.

Possible MOD help? required please

I have put my phone number into the BT website and it said i should be acheiving speeds of between 10mb and 19mb, with an estimated speed of 17.5mb.
Anyway i rang BT this morning and was told that is what i should be getting and that everything had been updated, but i should ring technical help, which i did.
The guy on the other end told me it wasn't updated yet, but BTs own website and the first person i spoke both told me i should be getting those speeds.
Can anyone help please.

check your exchange http://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange_search is it 21CN enabled?

Advice Required Please

Hi,
I would be grateful if anyone could advise on the following :
i) A client that I have is new to Oracle Application Express. What is the
considered practice as regards setting up workspaces for a set of developers
i.e. should one workspace be set up for each of the users to access or should
a workspace be set up for each user?
ii) If a customer wants to start creating applications, should they do so within a
newly created schema (of their choice) or should they use e.g. Hr?
iii) Where can I find the 'ctx' related password as regards the step in the
installation guide concerned with the Oracle Text requirement?
iv) In some older documentation (Apex v2.2 installation) concerned with the
installation of the HTTP Server on a Linux box, it mentioned about the fact that
the rc.local file in the /etc directory should be amended with appropriate values
in order to re-enable the restart of the HTTP Server in the event of a server
reboot - is that the general approach these days for v3.0.1 on that hardware?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Kind Regards,
Tom

i) Are the developers working on the same application? If so, you would want to set up one workspace. Accessing applications across workspaces from a central location can be tricky if not near impossible.
ii) The schema in which to create applications depends on how the database is going to be accessed. For example, our data warehouse site is using VPD, so we have our main schema DWRP where the data resides and the Application Express uses a schema called DATA_SCHEMA where the VPD functions are applied.

Virus on mac pro...help/advice needed please.

Hi all,
I've just run Clamxav scan on my mac pro & it's showing an infected file in my USER directory, named    .rserv    & the infection name is   OSX.Flashback-8
Tried to delete this file in Clamxav & it says its moved it to trash, but when i look in trash its empty! Then, when I rerun the scan it again says the file is still there in my users directory. However I can't find this file using Finder. Clamxav says it's located at: users/my name/.serv
Can someone please tell me 1 - what is this file?   & 2 - How the **** do i get rid of it?
btw, the 1st time i ran the scan it showed 2 other suspicious files that I sent to trash & then emptied the trash... one was a file called download.dmg (with the infection name Adware.OSX   which was in my downloads folder) & the 2nd file name was called Tube2FileSetup.exe (infection name Trojan.Agent-290842   again this was in my download folder). These no longer appear to be on my system.
Thanks in advance.

your mac isn't running 10.6.8 and therefore wasn't updated with Apple's latest security patches. And I guess you missed the "memo" and alerts months ago.

Cooling advice required please

Hi all,
I would like advice on best fan (and adaptor for 60mm to 80mm) to replace my stock hsf and a fan for for my passive cooler on my chipset. Would these be OK to plug into the appropriate headers on my motherboard.
Thanks
worf105
P.S. should I get anything for the south bridge?

For best overclocking performance you should get a new heatsink + fan. Try adding a small fan (any will do) on your northbridge heatsink. Some fans draw a lot of power, so you might need a 3-pin to molex connector or you'll fry your m/board.

Charting within Web-PL/SQL Application - advice required please

Currently trying to enhance our Designer generated Web-PL/SQL application by including charting.
There is no provision to do this within Designer so are exploring other solutions, specifically using a server side servlet to render a chart as a gif, returning this to the client HTML page.
Has anyone got any recommendations on what to use to do this?
We've tried with limited success calling the Portal servlet (called chart) due to lack of documentation and relience on certain Portal procedures. We're currently experimenting with Oracle Chartbuilder, which looks promising, but would really like to know what the recommended or favorite solution is!
Any feedback appreciated!

Right now, I am displaying a table in the web by selecting all the records from a particular table.
This is how I do it.Not a great way to display a report. This is not re-usable code. Difficult to maintain. Difficult to add or change the presentation of data.
The proper way to do it, will be to use a DBMS_SQL cursor. After the cursor is opened, you use the describe function on the cursor that returns the number of columns in the cursor, the names of the columns, and their data types.
This data is then used to fetch a column value from the cursor, and render it (as per its data type). This can easily be extended to make use of reporting templates and defaults and even style sheets to make rendering easy and flexible.
DBMS_SQL is detailed in the [Oracle® Database PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_sql.htm#BABEDAHF] guide.
Should I include a search engine? or how should I go about it? Is there a way to break the table into smaller parts using the dealer id?Why not use APEX? The above method that I've described is what is employed by APEX. So instead of writing that yourself, having to deal with dynamic variable binding, pagination, web state and security and so on.. APEX does all of this, and more, for you.

Thanks for your advice, I went to the apple shop today for a face to face meeting with a tech and he checked everything and could not figure out why I was having this problem so we decided to give up on that account and create a whole new one for me using a different email address.
Now I can download apps on both my iPhone and ipad2.
If anyone is reading this in Brisbane Australia go to the Chermside apple shop and ask for Wade. He was fantastic!

If you have iPhoto '09, you cannot browse or restore seleted items from your backups. See the pink box in #15 of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
Mail should work, however, per the blue box there.

Same thing for a movie file.. If you want to play back the movie via a DVD and a DVD player you must create a Movie DVD and not just burn files to a data DVD... as Data DVDs are just storage devices for files and therefore will only work with computers...
Movie DVDs are special formats that include things like menus and special file formats.. so they can playback via a DVD Player...
You will need a 3rd party DVD Burning app like Toast which is what i actually use.... or the more popular DVD Creator app...to create and then burn a Movie DVD that will playback on a DVD Player....
