Problem using Proxie server with Authentication & JEditorPane

Hello
I don't know if anyone has done this and if someone has I would really appreciate any help you could give me. I need to display a web page in a JEditorPane but the web page is accessed through a proxie server that uses authentication. I have tried using the setPage with username:[email protected] URL format for authentication but it doesn't work.
JEditorPane.setPage(new URL(urlStr))
this gives me an exception. The following is the exception message and printStackTrace
error:Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL: (Url I am trying to access)
at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream(HttpURLConnection.java:709)

Thank you for any help you can give me.

Steve,
The URLs that I am using are internal. A similar type login page is the Oracle Metalink

I will try to find another webstie that you can test. Be back shortly
thanks

Problem using CORBA clients with RMI/EJB servers..!!!???

Hi,
I have a question on using EJB / or RMI servers with CORBA clients using
RMI-IIOP transport, which in theory should work, but in practice has few
glitches.
Basically, I have implemented a very simple server, StockTreader, which
looks up for a symbol and returns a 'Stock' object. In the first example, I
simplified the 'Stock' object to be a mere java.lang.String, so that lookup
would simply return the 'synbol'.
Then I have implemented the above, as an RMI-IIOP server (case 1) and a
CORBA server (case 2) with respective clients, and the pair of
client-servers work fine as long as they are CORBA-to-CORBA and RMI-to-RMI.
But the problem arises when I tried using the RMI server (via IIOP) with the
CORBA client, when the client tries to narrow the object ref obtained from
the naming service into the CORBA idl defined type (StockTrader) it ends up
with a class cast exception.
This is what I did to achieve the above results:
[1] Define an RMI interface StockTrader.java (extending java.rmi.Remote)
with the method,
public String lookup( String symbol) throws RMIException;
[2] Implement the StorckTrader interface (on a PortableRemoteObject derived
class, to make it IIOP compliant), and then the server to register the stock
trader with COS Naming service as follows:
String homeName =....
StockTraderImpl trader =new StockTraderImpl();
System.out.println("binding obj <" homeName ">...");
java.util.Hashtable ht =new java.util.Hashtable();
ht.put("java.naming.factory.initial", args[2]);
ht.put("java.naming.provider.url", args[3]);
Context ctx =new InitialContext(ht);
ctx.rebind(homeName, trader);
[3] Generate the RMI-IIOP skeletons for the Implementation class,
rmic -iiop stock.StockTraderImpl
[4] generate the IDL for the RMI interface,
rmic -idl stock.StockTraderImpl
[5] Generate IDL stubs for the CORBA client,
idlj -v -fclient -emitAll StockTraderImpl.idl
[6] Write the client to use the IDL-defined stock trader,
String serverName =args[0];
String symList =args[1];
StockClient client =new StockClient();
System.out.println("init orb...");
ORB orb =ORB.init(args, null);
System.out.println("resolve init name service...");
org.omg.CORBA.Object objRef
=orb.resolve_initial_references("NameService");
NamingContext naming =NamingContextHelper.narrow(objRef);
... define a naming component etc...
org.omg.CORBA.Object obj =naming.resolve(...);
System.out.println("narrow objRef: " obj.getClass() ": " +obj);
StockTrader trader =StockTraderHelper.narrow(obj);
[7] Compile all the classes using Java 1.2.2
[8] start tnameserv (naming service), then the server to register the RMI
server obj
[9] Run the CORBA client, passing it the COSNaming service ref name (with
which the server obj is registered)
The CORBA client successfully finds the server obj ref in the naming
service, the operation StockTraderHelper.narrow() fails in the segment
below, with a class cast exception:
org.omg.CORBA.Object obj =naming.resolve(...);
StockTrader trader =StockTraderHelper.narrow(obj);
The <obj> returned by naming service turns out to be of the type;
class com.sun.rmi.iiop.CDRInputStream$1
This is of the same type when stock trader object is registered in a CORBA
server (as opposed to an RMI server), but works correctly with no casting
excpetions..
Any ideas / hints very welcome.
thanks in advance,
-hari

On the contrary... all that is being said is that we needed to provide clearer examples/documentation in the 5.1.0 release. There will be no difference between the product as found in the service pack and the product found in the 5.1.1. That is, the only substantive will be that 5.1.1 will also
include the examples.

With reference to your and other messages, it appears that one should not

not now. In other words, support for real-life CORBA clients is not an

We currently publish an IDL example, even though the IDL programmingmodel in Java is completely non-functional, in anticipation of the support
needs for uses who need to use IDL to talk to the Weblogic server,
generically. This example illustrates the simplest connectivity; it does not
address how
to integrate CORBA and EJB, a broad topic, fraught with peril, imo. I'llnote in passing that, to my knowledge, none of the other vendors attempt
this topic either, a point which is telling if all the less happy to hear.
For the record then, what is missing from our distribution wrt RMI-IIOPare a RMI-IIOP example, an EJB-IIOP example, an EJB-C++. In this you are
correct; better examples are forth coming.
Still, I would not call our RMI-IIOP implementation fragile. I would saythat customers have an understandably hard time accepting that the IDL
programming model is busted; busted in the sense that there are no C++
libraries to support the EJB model, and busted in the sense that there is
simply no
support in Java for an IDL interface to an EJB. Weblogic has nothing to doit being busted, although we are trying to help our customers deal with it
in productive ways.
For the moment, what there is is a RMI (over IIOP) programming model, aninherently Java to Java programming model, and true to that, we accept and
dispatch IIOP request into RMI server objects. The way I look at it is this:
it's just a protocol, like HTTP, or JRMP; it's not IDL and it has
practically nothing to do with CORBA.

Can you give us more details about the comment below:

don't need a "HelloWorld" example, we need a concrete serious example(fully

Please post request to the news group...
As I said, you must separate the idl related classes (class files and
java
files) from the rmi classes... in the rmic step, you must set a newtarget
(as you did), emit the java files into that directory (it's not clearyou
did this), then remove all the rmi class files from the class path... ifyou
need to compile more classes at that point, copy the java files to theidl
directly is you must, but you can not share the types in any way.
I fear that as soon as the call to narrow succeeds, the remainingapplication will fail to work correctly because it is too difficult otuse
an idl client in java to work.

Hi Eduardo,
Thanks for the help. That is the way I compiled my CORBA client, by
separating the IDL-generated stubs from the RMI ones, but still I
get a
CORBA.BAD_PARAM upon narrowing the client proxy to the interfacetype.
Here's what I did;
+ Define the RMI interfaces, in this case a StockTrader interface.
+ Implement RMI interface by extendingjavax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject
making
it IIOP compliant
+ Implemnnt an RMI server, and compile using JDK1.2.2
+ use the RMI implementation to generate CORBA idl, using RMI-IIOPplugin
utility rmic;
rmic -idl -noValueMethods -always -d idl stock.StockTraderImpl
+ generate Java mappings to the IDL generated above, using RMI-IIOPplugin
util,
idlj -v -fclient -emitAll -tf src stocks\StockTrader.idl
This creates source for the package stock and also
org.omg.CORBA.*
package, presumably IIOP type marshalling
+ compile all classes generated above using JDK1.2.2
+ Implement client (CORBA) using the classes generated above, NOTthe
RMI
proxies.
+ start RMI server, with stockTrader server obj
+ start tnameserv
+ start CORBA client
Then the client errors when trying to narrow the obj ref from the
naming
service, into the CORBA IDL defined interface using,
org.omg.CORBA.Object obj =naming.resolve(nn);
StockTrader trader =StockTraderHelper.narrow(obj); // THIS
ERRORS..!!!
throwing a CORBA.BAD_PARAM exception.
any ideas..?

Please see the post on june 26, re Errors compiling... somewherein

I suspect, you are referring to the rmi class file when you are
obliged
to
completely segregate these from the idl class files.

Problem using SQL Loader with ODI

Hi,
I am having problems using SQL Loader with ODI. I am trying to fill an oracle table with data from a txt file. At first I had used "File to SQL" LKM, but due to the size of the source txt file (700MB), I decided to use "File to Oracle (SQLLDR)" LKM.
The error that appears in myFile.txt.log is: "SQL*Loader-101: Invalid argument for username/password"
I think that the problem could be in the definition of the data server (Physical architecutre in topology), because I have left blank Host, user and password.
Is this the problem? What host and user should I use? With "File to SQL" works fine living this blank, but takes to much time.
Thanks in advance

I tried to use your code, but I couldn´t make it work (I don´t know Jython). I think the problem could be with the use of quotes
Here is what I wrote:
import os
retVal = os.system(r'sqlldr control=E:\Public\TXTODI\PROFITA2/Profita2Final.txt.ctl log=E:\Public\TXTODI\PROFITA2/Profita2Final.txt.log userid=MYUSER/myPassword @ mySID')
if retVal == 1 or retVal > 2:
raise 'SQLLDR failed. Please check the for details '
And the error message is:

How to use iCal Server with clients?

Ok, so since I can't find this anywhere... How do I use iCal Server with other desktop clients? I've selected the user, enabled calendaring, the user can authenticate in web-based group calendars. But then I'm stuck.
How do I give them their own calendar?
In iCal, I go to Accounts and try and enter the info but it fails every time. I tried the dns name like so: "calendar.example.edu" but it generates an error. But the user can log in to the web calendar for groups. Where is the users individual calendar located?
The help menu ignores that field as if it's not needed, but then it fails because the calendar doesn't know where the server is. The clients can't all be OD bound, so this has to work outside of Open Directory. According to Apple other CalDAV clients can connect too. How? Computers just don't "connect" on their own.
Anyone know the answer?

I was getting the same error when I tried to subscribe to a calendar using:
Subscribe to: http://myserver.example.com:8008/
principals/users/usershortname
I found that if I added a trailing slash to the URL then it would work :
Subscribe to: http://myserver.example.com:8008/
principals/users/usershortname/
(the way I found this was to navigate via the web browser to http://myserver.example.com:8008 then authenticate as a user, then navigating through to http://myserver.example.com:8008/principals/users/ where you can see all the user names all with a trailing slash after them)
hope this helps

How do i use itunes server with itunes match?

Hi all,
I am using itunes server on my synology NAS. On my desktop i've always used itunes with match. How can I combine the two? In other words, how can i use itunes match with itunes server?
thanx

I don't know if you've already solved it yourself, but I had this problem too. Try signing out of iTunes Store under 'Settings', then signing back in with JUST your iTunes user name, with no '.mac' or '.me' suffix. If, for example, your usual sign-in method is '[email protected]' try using 'joebloggs'.
Worked for me.

Can I use LDAP server's authentication mechanism rather than comparing password ?

Hi All,
The weblogic security and adminguide says that the user authencation can be of
the following 3 types:
1. Bind specifies that the LDAP security realm
retrieves user data, including the password for
the LDAP server, and checks the password in
WebLogic Server.
2. External specifies that the LDAP security
realm authenticates a User by attempting to
bind to the LDAP server with the username
and password supplied by theWebLogic
Server client. If you choose the External
setting, you must also use the SSL protocol.
3. Local specifies that the LDAP security realm
authenticates a User by looking up the
UserPassword property in the LDAP directory
and checking it against the passwords in
WebLogic Server.
But say I want that my users should be authenticated by the LDAP server rather
than picking up the password from LDAP and comparing at weblogic end. Then what
should I do ?
Because no. 2 is applicable only for ssl certificates, no.1 and no.3 picks up
password using the login dn and password provided at the time of configuration
of realm and compare with password given by user.
And once gain there some issues on having picking up password and comparing it:
1. Netscape directory server can store the password in oneway hashed form(and
that is preferred , too). So when userpassword attribute is read , it's in one
way hashed form. So how the comparison will go on ?
2. Creating a user who has the access to user data along with userpassword attribute
itself is a security threat, as if someone can crack that user's dn and password
then he/she can do anything as userdata can be read.
Any suggestion is welcome.
TIA,
Sudarson

Thanks a lot Jerry.
I got these stuff from weblogic 6.1 docs sets security.pdf and adminguide.pdf.
I have another question, if that is the case (in Case of BIND), then why do we
a require a dn of user and password who has the access to read the entire directory
And at the same time, u specified this for Bind, what are the cases for other
two-local and external ? And then what is actually difference between Bind and
Local ?
Pls help me.
Thanks,
Sudarson

Hi Sudarson,
Whatever doc you were reading is at least partially incorrect, unfortunately...
I know for sure that when you specify BIND, weblogic sends the username/password
to your
LDAP server in an attempt to bind to it.
If the bind is successful, WLS determines that the username/password
pair were correct.
If the bind was unsuccessful, WLS determines that the username/password
pairing is not
valid.
At all times, WebLogic is letting the LDAP server do the actual compare
of
username/password. WLS does not, at any time, retrieve a password from
the LDAP server.
I hope this helps,
Joe Jerry

Connexion problems to POP server with mail but not Thunderbird...

Hello guys !
I have a problem with the server of my lab.. the connexion between Mail and the server doesn't work any more (used to work very nice a few weeks ago) and Mail say that the connexion to port 995 or even 110 was not possible because of a delay... do you know something new about such a problem ?
fact is, it works on thunderbird with the same settings and works sometimes with Mail on the WE (maybe there are less people using the server and it is more rapid ?) and it works all the time from my home...
Any idea about this problem ?
I had an answer on a Mail topic from somebody :
"In your case it definitely sounds like an issue of high traffic on the network (working on weekends, intermittently from home, etc.). It sounds like higher-capacity network hardware or more available bandwidth are needed. Mail.app might be more sensitive to dropped packets or slow connections; I don't know if that can be changed via a config file. You might try posting a separate post to get help from some folks who might know."
maybe his answer is of any help for someone who knows about all this...
Does somebody have an idea why thunderbird works and not Mail.app ? Is there something to do ?
Thanks for your help.

MBP intel core duo 2Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.10)

hello abd thanks for your interest.
the settings in Tbird are simple connexion to internet, no proxy settings... and the port is simply 25...
what is strange is that Mail.app used to work in my lab without a problem... I think the lab network (it's a special network for laptops...) is too slow, because it works in the morning and during the week-end... is it possible to change the setting in mail for the connexion ?
i'm getting mad with this problem.

Problem using iPad mirroring with an Apple TV and 4:3 Projector

I'm a teacher and I've been using my iPad 2 in the classroom for about a year and a half. I would use Apple's VGA Adapter to connect to my projector, which worked fine. I just didn't like being tied down, and the dock connector would come loose very easily and lose connection to the projector, which interrupted the flow of the lesson.
So this summer, I got an Apple TV and a projector with an HDMI port so I could start using Airplay Mirroring to get the iPad screen onto the projector. But I'm having trouble with the aspect ratio. Forgive my drawing, but the genius at the Apple store had a hard time understanding my explanation, so I'm hoping this will help show what I mean.
My projector (ViewSonic DLP PJD5133) can be set to either a 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio (4:3, 800x600 is the native resolution). My projector screen in the front of the classroom is 4:3, so when the projector is set to 4:3, the image fills up the screen (which is what I want - it needs to be as big as possible so the entire class can see it clearly; plus it means all the output pixels are being used). When the projector is set to 16:9, the image is letterboxed (not ideal unless I'm showing a widescreen video or image).
The Apple TV's native aspect ratio is widescreen, and the iPad's native aspect ratio is 4:3, so if you use Airplay mirroring on a widescreen TV, the Apple TV will pillarbox the image (add horizontal black bars on each side), so that the image will not be stretched/distorted. (I know that it will show widescreen videos and a few widescreen-ready apps without the pillarbox, but the apps I use in class - Keynote, Noteshelf, etc. - don't fall in that category). The effect on my projector screen is a tiny 4:3 image taking up half the area it would have taken if I had used the VGA connection.
So in the Apple TV, I went to Settings>Audio & Video>TV resolution, and chose 800x600 60Hz (the max 4:3 resolution for my projector). Since the Apple TV is natively widescreen, it seems to accomplish this change be stretching the image vertically; but it basically works because the Apple TV home screen fills up the projector screen. However, when I turn on Airplay Mirroring on my iPad, the image does not fill up the screen. The Apple TV still puts a pillarbox on the image, so I end up with a distorted, square image of my iPad screen. It's the right height - the max 600 pixels for my projector - but it's not as wide as it should/could be.
Is there a setting that I'm missing? I understand that the Apple TV has to stretch its home screen image to accommodate the 4:3 resolution, but I think it should be smart enough to realize that if it's receiving a 4:3 image from the iPad and sending it out to a 4:3 TV, it doesn't need to pillarbox the image.
Before you answer - this is not a problem with the projector settings, and my Apple TV is not defective. You could simulate what's happening on your Apple TV, even if it's hooked up to a widescreen TV. In the Apple TV settings, change the TV Resolution to 800x600 as mentioned above (or any other of the 4:3 options). Now go to the Apple TV home screen, and note the amount of space the image is taking up on your screen (on a widescreen TV, it will be pillarboxed, and it will look like it's been squished horizontally). Then turn on Airplay mirroring on the iPad, and you'll see that the iPad image does not have the same width as the Apple TV home screen and it looks square/squished.
Also, while my projector does have a zoom function, it will not magnify the small iPad mirror image correctly (if I were to leave the Apple TV and projector on a 16:9 setting). It cuts off the top and sides. But even if it didn't crop the image, it's a digital zoom, so that option still won't fix the fact that I'm not getting a full 800x600 image on the projector. The same problem would apply if I were to move the projector farther away from the screen (so that the widescreen image takes up the full height of the projector screen, while spilling off the sides). I'll still have a lower resolution image, which isn't ideal since I'm often showing text on the screen through Keynote. Also, widescreen videos wouldn't fit on the screen, and I can't move the projector easily because it's fixed to the ceiling.
Sorry for the long explanation. Any ideas? I'd really appreciate some insight.

We have the same problem, and not only with ipads. Macbook Air is doing something similar. it can only use airplay with 1080 and 720 resolution, so the image is squeezed on a 4:3 projector. We use AppleTV 3 and Mountain Lion OS. We use ATVPRO from Kanex.
Apple must get its act together and fix this, they promise gold and green forests, but nothing works.

Trigger problem on Sql Server with linked server to Oracle

Hi All,
I have a simple insert trigger on Sql Server 2005, it uses linked server to Oracle.
like that ;
USE [YTM08]
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
ANSI_NULLS ON
go
ANSI_WARNINGS ON
CEATE TRIGGER [dbo].[YTM_TBLSTSABIT_I]
ON [dbo].[TBLSTSABIT] FOR INSERT
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO YTM_ORACLE..SECTOR.STOCKS
stock_name,
stock_code,
insert_date
SELECT
SBT.STOCKNAME,
SBT.STOCKCODE,
GETDATE()
FROM INSERTED SBT
END
The YTM_ORACLE is a linked server and it's provider is OraOLEDB.Oracle.
Trigger does not works for that linked server but other triggers for local
sql server works fine...
I get this error from sql server
'Heterogeneous queries require the ANSI_NULLS and
ANSI_WARNINGS options to be set for the connection. This ensures consistent query semantics. Enable these options and then reissue your query.'
Does someone know how to solve this issue the right way?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks !
Adam

Hi Lars,
Thanks for the data. I've already read this note and configure all this parameters. But when I'm executing the Create Source System in the BI system the process dies.
If I look into the logs I see this:
M call semaphore clean-up function ...
M ***LOG Q0E=> DpSigGenHandler, Exception (c06d007e) [dpnttool.c 432]
That's the reason why I start guessing about other possible problem.
Regards

Imran,
Oracle Forms no longre supports OCA for ODBC drivers, so teh only choice left is to use a transparent gateway if available.

Problem using Time Machine with Seagate BackUp Plus Pls HELP!!

I have a late 2006 iMac (running OS 10.5.8) & am trying to back up using Time Machine with a new Seagate BackUp Plus drive. When I select the Seagate drive in Time Machine it tells me I msut first erase the (Seagate) disk. When I hit ERASE, I get a Time Machine error : COULD NOT UNMOUNT DISK. I see from various posts that 10,5 & 10,6 have issues with some external drives so want to upgrade to Mavericks (to get around this incompatibility issue): HOwever apparently my iMac is too old (by 1 year) to allow this. Can anyone give me any advice on how to get my iMac content backed up via Time Machine using the Seagate BackUP PLus drive I bought (becasue it is supposedly "compatible with PCs & Macs".
Thank you!!
Wendy

Your Seagate drive should work just fine. If it doesn't have any important data on it, try re-formatting it with Disk Utility to blank it out. Or run the Disk verify/repair and see if you can get it to fix any problems.
I have a Drobo FS too. You probably need a firmware update, they issued one a while back to fix problems with Time Machine. Use the Dashboard or download it from their support site, http://www.drobo.com/support/updates.php
Just curious how long you let it run after it "stalled". If it is a big file it could just be taking a while to copy over, do you see activity lights on the USB drive? The first time you use time machine let it run overnight, it's going to take a while, after that it will update quickly.
While you're at it, you might want to verify your start-up disk too with Disk Utility.

Any problem using PC fonts with Fontbook?

Hi all.
Are there any potential issues using PC fonts with Fontbook? I've downloaded a free internet font, ran the "Validate File" option, then loaded the font into Fontbook. Afterwards, I also ran "Validate Font" and it checked out okay.
It seems to be working, but I'm wondering if there is cause for concern that maybe down the line something funny will happen?
Any insight into this?
B.

It seems to be working, but I'm wondering if there is cause for concern that maybe down the line something funny will happen?
No, a font is just a font. All PC .ttf and .ttc fonts work in OS X. Windows Type 1 PostScript fonts (the ones with matching .pfb and .pfm extensions) do not.
The only real problem with free fonts is that the majority of them are not made well and can cause various problems because of it. Read section 14 of Font Management in OS X to see what those issues can be.

Problem using Iphone 3G with 2009 Honda Fit

Have a 2009 Honda Fit Sport (without Nav). Iphone interface worked fine until updated to 3.0. Now, I can't choose albums or songs...just playlists. It will also no longer let me access my podcasts. Was not fixed when updated to 3.1. Any suggestions other than reverting back to an older OS?

After almost 1 week of sheer frustrations, I have been unable to connect my Iphone 3G to my exchange server at work.
I have tried probably every method discussed here, including restoring my iphone 3G several times. My issue has been elevated all the way up to apple engineering, and still no solution.
It appears that the issue is that I cannot connect because my company is using Exchange server 2003 with SP1.
I can connect any Windows Smartphone or Pocket PC and it will sync in what seems seconds….very fast. I have used windows phones connected to our server for more than 4 years, never an issue.
My company has the attitude of we “We don’t want you to connect, you are lucky to be able to use active sync on windows phones!!” So their change is not probable.
Has anyone found a way to connect Iphone 3G to an Exchange Server 2003, SP1?

Problems using TFS 2008 with RoboHelp 11?

Adobe has not been able to resolve our company's connection problem with SharePoint thus far.
We do know that we can use TFS 2008 with RoboHelp because they have done that in the past. We are on RH11.
We need to know...Has anyone experienced any problems with using TFS 2008 with RH11? If so, what kind of problem(s)?

I've used TFS 2008/2010/2012 with RoboHelp without problems so far. You will always get the check in dialog, but that is the way it works, not a problem. This will become annoying when you are relocating lots of topics, since you will have to check in files a lot during these operations. But otherwise it works perfect in my experience.
As long as you make sure you have the 32 bit MSSCCI provider for the correct TFS version (MSSCCI 2008 for TFS 2008), you should be fine.
