Question about architecture

Hello
I have a question.
I have been working in a Content Management with Java at my job.
The Java architect proposed the following architecture as solution.
----WEB LAYER----
JSP
Struts
----Business Layer----------
Manager Classes
Hibernate
----Data Layer----
DB
The web server is Tomcat V6 and MySQL is the database
I have a dude about this architecture. In order to don't use persistence objects in the WEB layer(because it cause Permgen memory problems), the Manager Classes will have methods to transform persistence objects to DTO objects(these objects will be used in the web layer), with the use of getters and setters. I think that these changes wouldn't solve the memory problems.
What is your opinion about this architecture? Do you have any idea to improve it?
Thanks for all.
Nickolas

Using persistence objects in the web layer shouldn't in itself increase your memory usage, but I can imagine that it would make it a lot easier to write buggy code with memory leaks.
Having done this sort of thing for years, my advice with this sort of architecture is:
1) Don't use JSPs, which stink. Use Velocity instead, or some other lighter-weight way to format the user-visible content.
2) Keep the web tier as thin and light as possible. Because a lot of frameworks (like Struts) provide some tools to manage data, there's a tendency to put lots of business logic there (and if there's an explicit business logic layer, often it isn't utilized). Don't. It becomes unmanageable.
Try writing your app without a web tier at all. Imagine creating a command-line-only interface to your business logic. (Or, a JUnit interface or the like.) Then wrap the web tier around it. This actually makes for easier testing as well.
3) Swapping data between data objects is the path to madness. Try object-oriented programming instead. Design your app with classes that have well-defined responsibilities. Keep data close to the operations that use it. Encapsulate as fervently as you can.
As for the rest of your post -- I have no idea what you're trying to accomplish, or even demonstrate, with your example.

Questions about application server architecture

Hello guys,
I have few questions about application server architecture�
I have a task to build a server application which will do the following: Clients (special java clients) will connect to it and send some data for further processing on server side. Chunks of data will be relatively small but they will take a lot of time for processing (it is ok that it will be quite slow).
Also server will run some sort of �database� where all clients� working data will be stored. So, in case a client loses its data he/she is always able to download it from the server.
For me it seems, like server will consist of the following components:
1. �Reception�. This part will be responsible for all client-communication procedures.
2. �Data storage�. This part will simply store all clients� data and provide some API interface for clients through �reception� to manage it (add/get/delete and so on).
3. �Processor�. Some sort of dummy-sophisticated module. It will take some input data from �data storage� when it receives order for this and process it. �Processor� will have two states: �busy� which means �processor� processing some data and �available� which means �processor� ready to process new data.
4. �Manager�. This part will always check �data storage� for new data and �processor� for availability. When �processor� and new data are available �manager� will make an order for �processor� to take new data from �data storage� and process it.
So, my question is the following: Which technology and approaches I should use to realize my plan?
I think that I can make �reception� as a Session Bean, but I don�t know yet, what are the best for the rest, for example �manager� and �processor�. I was thinking about writing my own application server (and I can do it), but I would like to learn j2ee technologies, so I think it is a perfect chance for me (I read a lot about j2ee before I wrote this post, but all examples have only �account�-�bill�-�money transfer� I think it is quite far away from reality or I am doing something wrong ;-)!
p.s. I am thinking about using JBoss as an Application Server. I tested it and wrote some tests. They work and run fast enough, so I like it. Moreover it has module architecture.
Please, give me some advises and tips!
Thank you in advance!

1. �Reception�. This part will be responsible for all
client-communication procedures.Session bean with remote interface.
2. �Data storage�. This part will simply store all
clients� data and provide some API interface for
clients through �reception� to manage it
(add/get/delete and so on).Session bean that will use entity beans or hibernate to work with persistant data.
3. �Processor�. Some sort of dummy-sophisticated
module.Use a message driven bean. Make Reception to enqueue a message when new data is available for processing. Processor will process the data and store the resut in database using Data Storage session bean.
4. �Manager�. This part will always check �data
storage� for new data and �processor� for
availability. When �processor� and new data are
available �manager� will make an order for
�processor� to take new data from �data storage� and
process it.It's redundand component, because application server will manage messages and processors.

Question about servlet architecture

Hello,
I have a question about Web Application / servlet architecture and development, and haven't had any luck finding an answer so far. My plan must be either unusual, or wrong, or both, so I'm hoping the community here could point me in the right direction.
I have quite a bit of background in OSGi, but very little in servlets. I know my architecture would work with something such as sever-side Equinox, but for the open source project I'm contemplating, I think that the more mainstream Tomcat/servler route would be better -- assuming it can be done. Here is a rather simplified scenario:
There is a class, Manager. It could be a Java class that implements Runnable, or a non-HTTP servlet (GenericServlet?), but somehow it should be configured such that it runs as soon as Tomcat starts.
When Manager runs, it instantiates its primary member variable: Hashtable msgHash; mshHash will map Strings (usernames) to ArrayList<String> (list of messages awaiting that user). Manager also has two primary public methods: addMsg() and getMsgs().
The pseudocode for addMsg is:
void addMsg(String username, String msg) {
if username=="*" { for each msgList in msgHash { msgList.add(msg) } return;
if username not in msgHash { msgHash.add(username, new ArrayList<String>) }
msgHash[username].add(msg)
And for getMsgs():
String getMsgs(username) {
String s = "";
for each msg in msgHash[username] { s = s + msg; }
return s;
Once Manager has started, it starts two HTTP Servlets: Sender and Receiver, passing a reference back to itself as it creates the servlets.
The HTML associated with Sender contains two text inputs (username and message) and a button (send). When the send button is pressed and data is POSTed to Sender, Sender takes it and calls Manager.addMsg(username.value, message.value);
Receiver servlet is display only. It looks in the request for HTTP GET parameter "username". When the request comes in, Receiver calls Manager.getMsgs(username) and dumps the resulting string to the browser.
In addition to starting servlets Sender and Receiver, the Manager object is also spawning other threads. For example, it might spawn a SystemResourceMonitor thread. This thread periodically wakes up, reads the available disk space and average CPU load, calls Manager.addMsg("*", diskAndLoadMsg), and goes back to sleep for a while.
I've ignored the synchronization issues in this example, but during its lifecycle Manager should be idle until it has a task to do, using for example wait() and notify(). If ever addMsg() is called where the message string is "shutdown", Manager's main loop wakes up, and Manager shuts down the two servlets and any threads that it started. Manager itself may then quit, or remain resident, awaiting a command to turn things back on.
Is any of this appropriate for servlets/Tomcat? Is there a way to do it as I outlined, or with minor tweaks? Or is this kind of application just not suited to servlets, and I should go with server-side Equinox OSGi?
Thanks very much for any guidance!

Check the tomcat documentation for more information on that (the web.xml contains such servlets already though). From this servlet you can start your Manager.

Once Manager has started, it starts two HTTP Servlets: Sender and Receiver, passing a reference back to itself as it creates the servlets. Not needed. You can simply create your two servlets and have them invoked through web calls, Tomcat is the only one that can manage servlets in any case. Servlets have a very short lifecycle - they stay in memory from the first time they are invoked, but the only time that they actually do something is when they are called through the webserver, generally as the result of somebody running the servlet through a webbrowser, either by navigating to it or by posting data to it from another webpage. The servlet call ends as soon as the request is completed.

Receiver servlet is display only. It looks in the request for HTTP GET parameter "username". When the request comes in, Receiver calls Manager.getMsgs(username) and dumps the resulting string to the browser.This states already that you are going to run the servlets through a browser. You run "Sender" by navigating to it in the browser. You run "Receiver" when you post your data to it. Manager has nothing to do with that.

This thread periodically wakes up, reads the available disk space and average CPU load, calls Manager.addMsg("*", diskAndLoadMsg), and goes back to sleep for a while.Since you want to periodically run the SystemResourceMonitor, it is better to use a Timer for that in stead of your own thread.

Some questions about the integration between BIEE and EBS

Hi, dear,
I'm a new bie of BIEE. In these days, have a look about BIEE architecture and the BIEE components. In the next project, there are some work about BIEE development based on EBS application. I have some questions about the integration :
1) generally, is the BIEE database and application server decentralized with EBS database and application? Both BIEE 10g and 11g version can be integrated with EBS R12?
2) In BIEE administrator tool, the first step is to create physical tables. if the source appliation is EBS, is it still needed to create the physical tables?
3) if the physical tables creation is needed, how to complete the data transfer from the EBS source tables to BIEE physical tables? which ETL tool is prefer for most developers? warehouse builder or Oracle Data Integration?
4) During data transfer phase, if there are many many large volume data needs to transfer, how to keep the completeness? for example, it needs to transfer 1 million rows from source database to BIEE physical tables, when 50%is completed, the users try to open the BIEE report, can they see the new 50% data on the reports? is there some transaction control in ETL phase?
could anyone give some guide for me? I'm very appreciated if you can also give any other information.
Thanks in advance.

1) generally, is the BIEE database and application server decentralized with EBS database and application? Both BIEE 10g and 11g version can be integrated with EBS R12?You, shud consider OBI Application here which uses OBIEE as a reporting tool with different pre-built modules. Both 10g & 11g comes with different versions of BI apps which supports sources like Siebel CRM, EBS, Peoplesoft, JD Edwards etc..
2) In BIEE administrator tool, the first step is to create physical tables. if the source appliation is EBS, is it still needed to create the physical tables?Its independent of any soure. This is OBIEE modeling to create RPD with all the layers. If you build it from scratch then you will require to create all the layers else if BI Apps is used then you will get pre-built RPD along with other pre-built components.
3) if the physical tables creation is needed, how to complete the data transfer from the EBS source tables to BIEE physical tables? which ETL tool is prefer for most developers? warehouse builder or Oracle Data Integration?BI apps comes with pre-built ETL mapping to use with the tools majorly with Informatica. Only BI Apps 7.9.5.2 comes with ODI but oracle has plans to have only ODI for any further releases.
4) During data transfer phase, if there are many many large volume data needs to transfer, how to keep the completeness? for example, it needs to transfer 1 million rows from source database to BIEE physical tables, when 50%is completed, the users try to open the BIEE report, can they see the new 50% data on the reports? is there some transaction control in ETL phase?User will still see old data because its good to turn on Cache and purge it after every load.

Questions about Audigy 2 ZS connecti

Hello,
New to these forums, so bear with me. I'm considering purchasing an Audigy 2 ZS gamer card, and have some questions about the card and speaker setup. I've read the FAQ's in the forum, and they have been a big help, but I still have questions related specifically to my setup. Here's the system specs:
AMD Athlon 64 3000+
Asus K8V SE Deluxe
VisionTek Radeon X800 XT PE
Seagate 250 gig SATA HDD
gig Crucial ram
Antec P80 case
Antec TruePower 430 ps
Altec Lansing ADA885 digital speakers (awesome sound)
Altec Lansing headset (cheap but works for voice and gaming)
ADI AD980 onboard sound
Windows XP Home
. I currently am able to run both the speakers and headset at the same time by using the front panel audio outlets on the case (helps with the immersion in IL2 946). I would like to continue doing this(using front panel audio) with the new card. I've found several places that have an adapter cable for sale, http://www.x-tap.com/
http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...oducts_id=2700
http://ask.americas.creative.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,Kb=ww_english_add,U={B8F6030-DA4F-D3-94F4-00500463020E},Company={CEAE26D-879-4C00-AC9F-03BC258F7B70},d=3025443648,VARSET=ws:http://us.creative.com,case=5764
The plug that I have has only 3 separators, not 4. Will this work with the Audigy 2? I don't have a link for this plug, unfortunately.
4. I had been considering purchasing? a set of USB headphones, but I've been told that when you plug them in, the sound is cut off for the speakers. If there was a workaround for this, I might consider getting them. Then I wouldn't have to use the front panel audio or the connections on the card.
5. I've heard of an issue with this particular set of speakers and the Audigy 2 card, particularly that the speakers were originally designed for a Dell system, and the wiring was phased differently than in other systems. Is this something to be concerned with, and if so, is there a workaround?
I like to research a particular product before I buy it, in order to make an informed decision and avoid problems if possible. Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't
Thanks in advance for the help.

The inputs are easy to find and select:?
Right-click the Mixer icon on the taskbar and select "Playback Devices".<
There should open a new Window with the options of "Speakers" and "SPDIF"<
With Speakers highlighted click the?"Properties" button on the lower?right corner<
Go to the 4th tab (I believe it is "volume" in english, "Pegel" in german)<
There you have your inputs!<
Unmute Line-In and set its volume according to your desires.<
Also remember that software designed for XP, that should control the Line-IN settings, (ie. Hauppauge WinTV or Dscaler) will be unable to do so in Vista, do to the architecture change. You can however enable "Compatibility Mode for Windows XP SP2" for these applications (right-click on their executable) and restore control of the inputs directly from the program. (You should however unmute it first as explained above). PS:? All Creative Software that came on the CD is incompatible to Vista. Only the included Audio Console should work as expected.Message Edited by alexs3d2 on 05-07-200707:3 PM

TrackControl, Change Track, and others questions about AvTransmit

Hi there,
I've got multiples questions about JMF and AvTransmit, hope you will help
For a small student project, i'm developing a streaming server using JMF, i have used the AvTransmit example.
Streaming, etc... everything work fine, i stream music over web
But i need help with "playlist" :
// Get the tracks from the processor
TrackControl[] tracks = processor.getTrackControls();
First Question :
The Processor use a MediaLocator to get one track, is there a way to indicate multiples tracks, such as a directory containing multiples audio file ?
At this time, i can only set 1 file in the MediaLocator.
I'm using a simple class as Playlist (a File[]), and, when i want to change song, i stop the thread, change the MediaLocator with another file, and restart the thread.
It works on a Lan, but on Internet, Player (I use VLC for my test) lost the connection, i need to restart VLC to get audio again.
Second Question
Is there a more "elegant" way to change tracks ?
Last Question
I have think about building my own object Playlist... gasp...
I've look at the javadoc... but i'm a bit lost... does my class have to implement TrackControl ? what are the object inside etc...
If someone knows information about this...
That's all ;)
Thanks !
Tommy, french student (sorry for the english)

First Question :
The Processor use a MediaLocator to get one track, is there a way to indicate multiples tracks, such as a directory containing multiples audio file ?
At this time, i can only set 1 file in the MediaLocator.No. The processor uses a MediaLocator to get one file. Files (can) contain multiple tracks.
You can, in fact, combine the tracks of multiple files together, but, there's no need to do that with your application. AVTransmit2 sends each track as a separate RTP stream, so you'd just be sticking them together just to pull them apart again.
In general, you want to keep your architecture as one processor per file, one RTP stream per track.
Second Question
Is there a more "elegant" way to change tracks ?Yes. It's what I refer to as a jukebox DataSource. I discuss it / explain the concept on this previous thread.
[http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=28&threadID=5400318]
What you're essentially doing when you change the MediaLocator is starting over from scratch. You end up with a whole new DataSource, whole new Processor, whole new RTP session. On the LAN, this isn't an issue because it looks like you paused the RTP session (because the IP/PORTs don't change).
Over the internet, though, when you stop sending and restart, you're very likely going to get a new public NAT port. And so when your stream gets to the client, it's going to look like it's from a different person than the original.
The solution is to use the jukebox datasource to change the media without restarting the Processor or the RTP streams. That'll ensure that your stream won't move between files from the perspective of the client...
Last Question
I have think about building my own object Playlist... gasp...
I've look at the javadoc... but i'm a bit lost... does my class have to implement TrackControl ? what are the object inside etc...
If someone knows information about this...Ummmm, your "Playlist" object should just be a Jukebox datasource, so follow the link and figure out how that's supposed to work. If you have questions about it, just ask 'em here (rather than on the older thread)...

Question about service layer design

I have a question about the design/architecture of service model layers, specifically the task service layer.
Could a task service be a small "action", ie an operation that doesn't require composition? So if I have a requirement to allow customers to update their personal info, like address, would I have a task service named ChangeCustomerMailingAddress, that in turn calls the update operation on the Customer entity? Or would it be better to call the entity service directly? Another example would be retrieving data, like RetrieveCustomerBillingHistory, would that be a separate task service, or just a get/read operation on the Customer entity service?
Any insight is appreciated.
Thanks

You seem to be confused what all the different parts of Java do.
JRE - runtime environment, the minimum needed to run standard java applications
Java Standard Edition - the standard set of API's that form the base of most java applications. You need the J2SE SDK to compile these applications and the JRE to run them.
Now talking about "application design", I'm not sure what you mean. Are you talking about graphical user interfaces? In that case you would want to look into Swing, and that is indeed part of the standard edition API set.

I have question about ZFS feature anyone have knowledge in ZFS please ...

1. I try to understand about RAID-Z in ZFS but i can't . Anybody can tell me about architecture or this raid technology conpare with raid-5 or raid-6. i don't know why it can tell " full stripe write "
2. In ZFS if i don't specific raid when i create pool , what type o RIAD that should be. stripe ot concat????
Thank in advance
Ko.

raidz is comparable to raid 5, but with the benefits of ZFS and without the raid 5 "write hole." raidz2 is comparable to raid 6. If you don't specify a type of raid when creating a pool I believe (though I'm not sure) it will default to striping across the drives. If that doesn't answer your questions, maybe you could be a bit more clear? Hope that helps.

Questions about using the Voice Memos app

I'm currently an Android user, but will be getting an iPhone 6 soon. My most used app is the voice memos app on my Android phone. I have a couple questions about the iPhone's built-in voice memos app.
-Am I able to transfer my voice memos from my Android phone to my iPhone, so my recordings from my Android app will show up in the iPhone's voice memos app?
-When exporting voice memos from the iPhone to computer, are recordings in MP3 format? If not, what format are they in?
-In your opinion, how is the recording quality of the voice memos app?

You cannot import your Android voice memos to your iPhone's voice memo app. You might be able to play the Android memos and have the iPhone pick up the audio and record it.
Here is the writeup about sending voice memos from the iPhone to your computer (from the iPhone User Guide):
App quality is excellent.

Re: Question about the Satellite P300-18Z

Hello everyone,
I have a couple of questions about the Satellite P300-18Z.
What "video out" does this laptop have? (DVI, s-video or d-sub)
Can I link the laptop up to a LCD-TV and watch movies on a resolution of 1080p? (full-HD)
What is the warranty on this laptop?

Hello
According the notebook specification Satellite P300-18Z has follow interfaces:
DVI - No DVI port available
HDMI - HDMI-out (HDMI out port available)
Headphone Jack - External Headphone Jack (Stereo) available
.link - iLink (Firewire) port available
Line in Jack - No Line in Jack port available
Line out Jack - No Line Out Jack available
Microphone Jack - External Micrphone Jack
TV-out - port available (S-Video port)
VGA - VGA (External monitor port RGB port)
Also you can connect it to your LCD TV using HDMI cable.
Warranty is country specific and clarifies this with your local dealer but I know that all Toshiba products have 1 year standard warranty and also 1 year international warranty. you can of course expand it.

Some questions about Muse

First of all, I would like to say that I am very impressed with how well Muse works and how easy it was to create a website that satisfies me. Before I started a daily updated website I thought I would encounter many problems I will not be able to solve. I have only had a few minor issues which I would like to share with you.
The most problems I have with a horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/dig-t-r-3-cylindrowy-silnik-nissana-o-wadze-40-kg-i-mocy-400- km.html). Marking and copying of a text is possible only on the last (top) layer of a document. The same situation is with widgets or anything connected with rollover state - it does not work. In the above example it would be perfect to use a composition/tooltip widget on the first page. Unfortunately, you cannot even move the cursor into it.
It would be helpful to have an option of rolling a mouse to an anchor (like in here http://www.play.pl/super-smartfony/lg-nexus-5.html and here http://www.thepetedesign.com/demos/onepage_scroll_demo.html). I mean any action of a mouse wheel would make a move to another anchor/screen. It would make navigation of my site very easy.
Is it possible to create a widget with a function next anchor/previous anchor? Currently, in the menu every button must be connected to a different anchor for the menu to be functional.
A question about Adobe Muse. Is it possible to create panels in different columns? It would make it easier to go through all the sophisticated program functions.
The hits from Facebook have sometimes very long links, eg.
(http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/mclaren-p1-nowy-krol-nurburgring.html?fb_action_ids=143235557 3667782&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_source=aggregation&fb_aggregation_id=288381481237582). If such a link is activated, the anchors in the menu do not work on any page. I mean the backlight of an active state, which helps the user to find out where on page they currently are. The problem also occurs when in the name of a html file polish fonts exist. And sometimes the dots does not work without any reason, mostly in the main page, sometimes in the cooperation page either (http://www.leftlane.pl/wspolpraca/). In the first case (on main page), I do not know why. I have checked if they did not drop into a state button by accident, moved them among the layers, numbered them from scratch and it did not help. In the cooperation page, the first anchor does not work if it is in Y axle set at 0. If I move it right direction- everything is ok.
The text frame with background fill does not change text color in overlay state (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/nowe-mini-krolestwo-silnikow-3-cylindrowych.html). I mean a source button at the beginning of every text. I would like a dark text and a light layer in a rollover, but the text after export and moving cursor into it does not change color for some reason.
I was not sure whether to keep everything (whole website) in one Muse file (but I may be mistaken?). I have decided to divide it into months. Everyone is in a different Muse file. If something goes wrong, I will not have any trouble with an upload of a whole site, which is going to get bigger and bigger.
The problem is that every file has two master pages. Everything works well up to the moment when I realize how many times I have to make changes in upper menu when I need to add something there. I have already 5 files, every with 2 masters. Is there any way to solve this problem? Maybe something to do with Business Catalyst, where I could connect a menu to every subpage independently, deleting it from Muse file? Doing so I would be able to edit it everywhere from one place. It would make my work much easier, but I have no idea jendak how to do it.
The comments Disqus do not load, especially at horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-infiniti-q50-eau-rouge-concept.html). I have exchanged some mails and screenshots with Disqus help. I have sent them a screenshot where the comments are not loaded, because they almost never load. They have replied that it works at their place even with attached screenshot. I have a hard time to discuss it, because it does not work with me and with my friends either. Maybe you could fix it? I would not like to end up with awful facebook comments ;). The problem is with Firefox on PC and Mac. Chrome, Safari and Opera work ok.
YouTube movie level layouts do not work well with IE11 and Safari 7 (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/wypadki-drogowe--004.html). The background should roll left, but in the above mentioned browsers it jumps up. Moreover the scrolling with menu dots is not fluent on Firefox, but I guess it is due to Firefox issues? The same layout but in vertical version rolls fluently in Firefox (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/polskie-wypadki--005.html).
Now, viewing the website on new smartphones and tablets. I know it is not a mobile/tablet layout, but I tried to make it possible to be used on mobile hardware with HD (1280) display. I mean most of all horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2015-hyundai-genesis.html), where If we want to roll left, we need to roll down. Is there a way to make it possible to move the finger the direction in which the layout goes?
On Android phones (Nexus 4, Android 4.4.2, Chrome 32) the fade away background effect does not work, although I have spent a lot of time over it (http://www.leftlane.pl/lut14/koniec-produkcji-elektrycznego-renault-fluence-ze!.html). It is ok on PC, but on the phone it does not look good. A whole picture moves from a lower layer instead of an edge which spoils everything.
This layout does not look good on Android (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/nowe-mini-krolestwo-silnikow-3-cylindrowych.html#a07). The background does not fill the whole width of a page. There are also problems with a photo gallery, where full screen pictures should fill more of a screen.
Is it possible to make an option of scroll effects/motions for a fullscreen slideshow widget thumbnails (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a06)? It would help me with designing layouts. Currently, it can go from a bottom of a page at x1 speed or emerge (like in this layout) by changing opacity. Something more will be needed, I suppose.
Sometimes the pictures from gallery (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a06 download very slowly. The website is hosted at Business Catalyst. I cannot state when exactly it happens, most of the time it works ok.
I really like layouts like this (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a03). On the top is a description and a main text, and the picture is a filled object with a hold set at the bottom edge. That is why there is a nice effect of a filling a whole screen- nevertheless the resolution that is set. It works perfect on PC, but on Android the picture goes beyond the screen. You can do something about it?
In horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/dig-t-r-3-cylindrowy-silnik-nissana-o-wadze-40-kg-i-mocy-400- km.html) holding of a filling object does not work. Everything is always held to upper edge of a screen regardless the settings. Possibility of holding the picture to the bottom edge or center would make my work much easier.
According to UE regulations we have to inform about the cookies. I do not know how to do it in Muse. I mean, when the message shows up one time and is accepted, there would be no need to show it again and again during another visit on the website. Is there any way to do it? Is there any widget for it maybe?
The YouTube widget sometimes changes size just like that. It is so when the miniature of the movie does not load, and the widget is set to stroke (in our case 4 pixels, rounded to 1 pixel). As I remember ( in case of a load error) it extends for 8 pixels wide.
Last but not least - we use the cheapest hosting plan in Business Catalyst. The monthly bandwidth is enough, although we have a lot of pictures and we worried about it at first. Yet we are running out of the disk storage very quickly. We have used more than a half of a 1 GB after a month. We do not want to change BC for a different one, because we like the way it is connected with Muse. But we do not want to buy the most expensive package - but only this one has more disk space. We do not need any other of these functions and it would devastate our budget. Do we have any other option?
I’m using Adobe Muse 7.2 on OS X 10.9.1.
and I'm sending Muse file to <[email protected]>

Unfortunatley, there is no way to get a code view in Muse. I know quite a few people requested it in the previous forum, but not really sure where that ended up. Also, you may not want to bring the html into DW unless you only have 1 or 2 small changes 2 make. Two reasons. First, it isnt backwards compatible, so if you are planning on updating that site in Muse, you will need to make those changes in DW everytime you update. Second, by all accounts the HTML that Muse puts out is not pretty or easy to work with. Unlike you, I am code averse, but there was a lenghty discussion on the previous forum on this topic. I know they were striving to make it better with every release, just not sure where it is at this point.
Dont think I am reading that second question right, but there was a ton of info on that old site. You may want to take a look there, people posted a ton of great unique solutions, so it worth a look.

HT201303 hi just got my new apple ipod touch i need to update my security information other wise it wont let me download apps it says to enter three questions about myself and i get to the third question and it wont let me enter the third question

Welcome to the Apple community.
You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account > Password and Security.
I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose.
If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through Express Lane (select your country, navigate to iCloud help and enter the serial number of one of your devices)

Just installed iOS6, questions about "iMessage" and other things...

I've been a satisfied iOS4 user since I bought my iPhone4, but I was forced to install iOS6 tonight in order to download a "free" app. I found a few new icons on the screen along with about 200 percent more "Settings" I'd like to ask some questions about. I'm sure a few of these could be answered by doing a frantic and thorough search through weeks of posts but I'm a little short on time right now.
First, what exactly is iMessage? Looking at the page for it, I can't see any difference between it and regular text messages. The info page says its to avoid charges, but between my data plan and not being charged for text I don't see where theres any other benefit. The one person I text with the most recently asked me why I had not installed iMessage yet, and didn't have an answer when I asked him why I should. I guess he just wanted to see text replies in blue instead of green.
In a related bit, flipping through Settings>Messages>Send & Receive I find a "2 addresses" section, with my phone number in there as well as my email under "You can be reached by iMessage at:" and "Start new conversations from:". What good does it do iMessages to have my email address? Does the Mail app handle text as well as email addresses? That seems to be the only explanation, and also very odd to think I'd be trying to text through my Mail app.
Second, looking through the Settings>Mail I see now that I have an icloud email address as well as the mac.com address I've been desperately hanging on to for the past 10 years, and the me.com address they've been trying to force me into since those came out. (I was happy to see I could delete the me.com address from the phone. I wish I could delete it from the universe.)
I wasn't even aware there was a such thing as icloud.com addresses. When did this happen? What is it used for?
Third, under that icloud Setting I see a long list of apps with buttons labeled "Off" under it. What are those for? Under the Mac.com settings I see switches for "Mail" and "Notes", with Mail on and Notes off. The Notes app (which I haven't used since my old iPhone 3) still opens, regardless of this setting.
Fourth, I now have an item called "Facetime" under my Settings. It is off, but underneath it says "Your phone number and/or email address will be shared with people you call". I understand caller ID normally sends caller number info to the receiver, but why would someone need my email address if I call them?
Fifth, I now have a "Music" setting, at the bottom of which I see a "Home Sharing" item, which when clicked brings up my AppleID and asks me if I want to Sign Out or Cancel. What is Home Sharing? Its also at the bottom of the "Video" settings.
Sixth, now I have Twitter and Facebook settings? For what? I don't have accounts with either of those companies. So why have settings, especially since it asks me to create accounts and download apps for those companies right in the Settings?
Seventh, there is a camera icon on the unlock screen. Touching it causes the screen to bounce up about a quarter inch, almost but not quite revealing something behind it. I should probably just quit asking about this stuff already, but I'll take the bait - what is this now?
Finally, what is the Notification Center used for?
If I got a text under iOS4, it would put an alert on the Unlock screen. Scrolling through this huge list of things under the Notification settings I'm really blown away by all the apps set up to yell at me. I can see having an alert for a text message but Game Center? What the heck is that, and why is it set up to hit me with a "Badge App Icon" (whatever that is) when I get alerts from "Everyone". Similarly, the phone is set to alert me to something called a "Photostream Alert"? What is this? Why is there a Phone section for the Notification Center? So they can put a Notice on my screen to tell me the phone is ringing? Holy cow! The phone is set to send me alerts from the "Weather Widget". So if I miss the fact its raining there will be a message on my screen to let me know? Whats next - a buzzer to tell me I'm listening to music?
There's a lot more, like what would I need Passbook for when I have the actual movie tickets, gate boarding passes, coupons, etc in my hands, but we'll leave that for another time. Many thanks to all who can offer some answers to my questions above.

Hey Taantumus!
Here is an article that will provide some guidance on this question:
