Question about GUI Design on JTable and its separate editor

Hi all,
I need to use JTable with separate editor , that way when I double click one of the JTable's row its editor will popup in another window.
Based on GUI design principles, where should I put the editor, in another tab panel or a JDialog ?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Setya

if you dont have to edit a lot of fields, this will
be a good solution.
but if you have many fields, it would be a good thing
to put a JTabbedPane into the under
JSplitPane-container ... or to use a JDialog :)Yes, that's the only problem I can think of, if the fields are too many.
But then, if I have so many fields in one form. I won't put them in a JTable because users will find it cumbersome for having to scroll left and right to see those fields. I believe on this scenario JTable is just not the right component to use.
Regards,
Setya

  • Question about CS6 Design Standard Student and Teacher Edition

    I'm planning to buy this package but there is a couple questions I need to know before I do that. It's little hard to find all necessary information from Adobe's web page and I find it kind of difficult that you can have help only in english.  I live in Finland.
    1. When I'm proving my student eligibility for Adobe, does the document/documents have to be written in english or is it ok in finnish?
    2. How do I get my final serial numbers if Adobe can't send them via email?

    If you are from Finland, you will probably have to submit all the stuff to your local reseller. This has nothing to do with the online verification for US and other customers. Check your regional S&T pages. Presumably you have to go through Sweden, because as far as I know that's where Adobe has it's support for Northern Europe. They will also give you the serial number.

  • Question about singleton design

    Hi all
    i have a question about singleton design. as i understood it correctly, this pattern garantees us a single instance of a class at any time. in a environment of concurrent access(multiple user access at the same time) , does this single instance put a constraint on concurrency(singleton == synchronization)? i have developed a service object that reads in properties and constructs some other objects. the reason i made it singleton is that i only want this service object to load the properties once. and when it is called to create other objects, it always has one copy of the propertis. making this service singleton, will it limit the threads to access it and construct other objects? thanks for your help.

    If there's no write access to the HashMap, then
    you're thread safe.You were probably typing at the same time as the previous post, which explicitly says there IS write access to the HashMap.
    I don't know what it is, but people seem to have this magical view of concepts. Singleton is just what it is. It doesn't have a magical aura that causes other things to behave differently. A singleton is just Java code that can have thread safety problems just like any other Java code. So to the OP: forget about the fact that this is a singleton. That's irrelevant. Ask if a method needs to be synchronized.
    (And yes, a method that tests if a variable is null and assigns an object to it if it isn't null does need to be synchronized if it's going to have multiple threads accessing it.)

  • Here's a very basic question about 2 TB external drives and Time Machine.

    Here's a very basic question about 2 TB external drives and Time Machine.
    Ihave a Mac Pro with a .75 TB and 1 TB drive.  It also has a 1 TB 2ndinternal drive.  My current external drive is too small so I'll begetting a 1.5 TB or 2 TB drive.
    Obviouslythe new larger 2 TB drive will backup everything on the Mac Prointernal drive with Time Machine.  But there will be 1 TB of space leftover going to waste.
    ShouldI partition the external drive so that the TM portion will be 1 TB andthe use the remaining extra partition for additional file backups withCarbon Copy?
    Thanks for any insights.
    I tried searching around on the new Apple discussion forum, but I find it much harder to use than the old forum I used to use.

    The problem with terabyte drives is that that a 3 TB is about as big as you can get without going into RAID territory. Ideally, a Time Machine drive should be 3 times as large as all the drives you are backing up. So, if you have 2.75 TB of internal storage, you should have 8 TB of Time Machine space.
    Of course, that is "should". If your TB drives are mostly empty, then you can get away with something 3 times the size of your used disk space. Just remember that you are pushing it. Linc is right about Time Machine needing space to work.
    It is unlikely that you have regular churn on 2.75 TB of disk. I suggest identifying which drives and folders have the most activity and excluding those drives and directories that don't change much. It would be better to archive the data that doesn't change often and keep it out of Time Machine. Then you may be able to get away with a 2 TB Time Machine drive.

    John,
    I'm not sure why you posted in the iMac forum so I'm going to attempt to get you to the correct spot. I would recommend reposting in the Time Machine Forum, this is part of the OS X forums (Leopard or Snow Leopard) because you are using Snow Leopard (your profile indicates you are) please click Apple Support Communities and type Snow Leopard. Then you can narrow the search down by clicking Refine this List.

  • Some basic questions about rmi registry  context  "bind" and "lookup"

    We have more processing to do than can be accomplished with a single computer. To solve the problem I've implemented a distributed computing solution using RMI. (The first time I saw RMI was about 2 weeks ago, so please bear with me!)
    The implementation is a proof of concept not a fully fleshed out system. I have one "Workunit Distributor" computer and any number of "Data Processor" computers all on the same lan segment. "Workunit Distributor" and "Data Processor" computers are both RMI client and server to each other. The "Data Processor" computers are given the ip address and name of the "Data Distributor" on the commandline when they start. They communicate their willingness to receive and process a workunit to the ""Workunit Distributor" via a RMI call. Work units are sent to available "DataProcessors" and results are eventually returned to the "WorkunitDistributor" (minutes or hours later). The model program works quite well, and appears to be capable of doing the processing we need to get done.
    But now that it seems viable, I've been asked to make it a little more scalable, flexible and self configuring. In particular, instead of one "Workunit Distributor", any number of "Workunit Distributors" should be allowed to show up or disappear from the lan at any time and the system should continue to function. I've worked out a good scheme for how this can be done, but I have a couple of questions about the RMI registry (registries?). I'm trying to keep from implementing some functionality that may already be available as a library or subsystem.
    With my current model design, each computer binds to its own registry with a unique name. For instance:
    CRDataProcessorImpl crdpi = new CRDataProcessorImpl(svr);
    Context crDataProcessingContext = new InitialContext();
    crDataProcessingContext.bind("rmi:"+hostName, crdpi);
    Currently the "Data Processors" get the info they need for a Context lookup() of the one and only "Workunit Distributor" from the commandline. And the info the "Workunit Distributor" needs to do a Context lookup() of a "DataProcessor" is passed to it from each "DataProcessor" via a RMI call.
    But in the newer (yet to be implemented) scheme where any and all "Workunit Distributors" show up and disappear whenever they feel like, the naming bootstrapping scheme described above won't work.
    I can imagine a few ways of solving this problem. For instance, having "Workunit Distributors" multicast their contact information on the lan and have a worker thread on each "Data Processor" keep track of the naming information that was multicast. Another alternative (more organized, but more complex) might be to have a dedicated host with a "well known" address and port that "Workunit Distributors" and "Data Processors" could all go to, to register or look up at an application level. Sort of a "domain name service" for RMI. But both these schemes look like a lot of work to implement , debug and maintain.
    The BEST thing would be if there was one plain vanilla RMI registry that was usable by all RMI enabled computers instead of having each computer have its own local name registry. In volume 2 of the Core Java2 book it says that every registry must be local. I'm only hoping there's been progress since the book was published and now a central rmi registry is available.
    If you have any ideas about this I'd like to hear what you know.
    Thanks in advance for any advice.
    Lenny Wintfeld
    ps - I don't believe web services, as full featured as it is, is a useful alternative. I'm moving 100's (in the future possibly 1000's) of megabytes back an forth for processing.

    The local bind/rebind/unbind restriction is still there and it will always be there.
    I would look at
    (a) RMI/IIOP, where you use COSNaming as a registry, which doesn't have that registriction, and which also has location-independent object identifiers

  • 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.

  • A few question about iPhone OS in CS5 and CS5 in general.

    Hi,
    I'm an IT trainer and I am trying to introduce my students to programming for iPhone/iPod Touch. (They are Secondary 2 students. 14 years old) The school is using a windows computer and CS5 right now is the best for the class (Not a steep learning curve and a user-friendly program). I know about the problems over the iPhone OS in CS5 with Apple but I was told it is still available for use. Furthermore, we have no intention of bringing the apps created to the Apple Store. I've tried the trial version and before I make any purchase, I would actually like to ask a few questions.
    Is the iPhone OS in the trial version itself complete? Is there anything left out from the trial version because when I tried it, it seems fine however I did not try publishing to an iPhone due to the certificates. Is there a reason for the certificate? Is there any way around it because if there isn't do I need to get a certificate for every single student? (I'm looking at a class of 40 students.) Is the certificate available for windows platform?
    Lets say, I got myself a certificate, create a simple program and then publish it, can I immediately bring it over to iTunes and then sync? Will it work that way? I don't want it to be too tedious for the students to see the end result. I've done quite a few research and have come across people having problems bringing it into their devices. Those people mention about bringing it to Cydia and needing to jailbreak the device. The devices made available for the students are not jailbroken. Will iPhone OS with proper certification still need Cydia for use with their device? Will only jailbroken device allow a CS5 app? I hope you get what I'm trying to say. We as trainers do not support teaching students to jailbreak, so that's definitely a no-no.
    Another thing about CS5. Previously I have called customer support about the CS4 the school is using now and the problem with nested animation when publishing the animation as a video file, is this problem still in CS5? Does CS5 allow nested animation to be published as a video file? If it isn't, is there any way around it?
    Thank you for your time and patience in answering my questions.

  • A few questions about the design of the scheme

    Hello, all!
    I want ask some question about design of the scheme.
    1) If i store info about user (for example: /Smith/Bob - /phone values{+1 964 258 46 52}), i can request information by user (input parameters: /Smith/Bob - /phone, output:+1 964 258 46 52), but if i want get username by phone i must generate in store second string /19642584652 values{Smith Bob}. But I must duplicate any string - very prodigally. Are existing some work aruond?
    2) if i want store some string with different minor key i put: ( /Smith/Bob - /phone, /Smith/Bob - /image, /Smith/Bob - /adress), but i already get duplicate date. Are existing any compressin major`s key? If yes - how it works
    3) Are existing in Oracle NoSQL something like secondary index? If exist - how it works?
    4) If i want get value by major key, im use get function(for example /Smith/Bob - /phone). How works searching algoritm? What mathematical basis of search?

    >
    So, some a few clarifying questions.
    1) Request comes from the client(to cluster). It identifies the major key. And any rep group understand: contained in it is this line?
    2) If contains - they use b-tree map to find the right key (as local index in Oracle DB).
    Is it correct?
    >
    No. Please read the doc and the other forum threads. They explain this issue.
    >
    Can i use any different algoritm to search, different indexes(function based) for example (on step 2)?
    >
    No.
    when the expected release of this option?Oracle employees cannot talk about future release dates and contents.
    What algorithm used to compress the prefix of the key. And how it work`s.If you're interested in the implementation details you can read the BDB JE documentation on key prefixing and the BDB JE source code. See com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseConfig.setKeyPrefixing.

  • Hey guys, I have a question about Web Design

    I have been trying to learn webdesign for a few months now, and so far, I am still learning HTML and some CSS. At the moment, my experience is still very thin, I am struggling with things, and I only know how to create simple, static pages. For example I still don't know how to produce "clean code". Or how one determines just how "clean" the code he has produced really is.
    I was wondering if someone could answer a few questions I have:
    I am still not sure how I will know when I am competent enough to work in Web Design... What are the best signs that an individual is good enough?
    I was also wondering what programming language I need to know to do the following:
    Create a WORKING Site Search. One like the search bar in the top corner of this page that will return search results from your website... Do I need to know how to program PHP? I've heard that you do need PHP to do this? The same goes for creating e-mail forms, and other forms like this. Do I need PHP for this?
    Another thing is CMS systems like Wordpress and Joomla. What is the reason for using these as opposed to just designing a website's pages in Dreamweaver, and then uploading them via FTP to your web server?
    And finally, can someone explain to me why CSS is groped like this when it is coded? Why has the Div ID "OuterWrapper" been styled multiple times?
    For example: #outerWrapper #feature {
    #outerWrapper #subcontentWrapper {
    #outerWrapper #subcontentWrapper #rightColumn {
    ^ Couldnt the designer simply have styled "~OuterWrapper" once and left it at that?
    Please see below:
    #outerWrapper #feature {
        height: 225px;
        width: 880px;
        margin-left: 0px;
        margin-bottom: 5px;
        background-image: url(images/feature.jpg);
        background-repeat: no-repeat;
        background-position: center top;
    #outerWrapper #subcontentWrapper {
        padding-right: 15px;
        padding-left: 15px;
        clear: both;
        padding-top: 20px;
        background-color: #FFF;
        padding-bottom: 40px;
        border-top-width: 4px;
        border-right-width: 4px;
        border-left-width: 4px;
        border-top-style: solid;
        border-right-style: solid;
        border-left-style: solid;
        border-top-color: #F90;
        border-right-color: #F90;
        border-left-color: #F90;
        background-image: url(images/footer-fade.jpg);
        background-repeat: repeat-x;
        background-position: bottom;
        height: 100%;
    #outerWrapper #subcontentWrapper #rightColumn {
        float: right;
        width: 220px;
        background-color: #DBE7FB;
        border: 1px solid #DCDFE4;
        margin-bottom: 15px;
    Also, regarding Javascript: How exactly does one become proficient enough to learn scripting for the thousands of little widgets, and navigation bars, and other functions that Javascript can do out there?
    I know a lot of these questions are strange and may be hard to answer, but I am really hoping some of you guys can provide some helpful advice/direction for me to improve with code. I studied as a Print Graphic Designer, and now it's really hurting me in this economy trying to find a job due to the fact that I lack full competency in Web Design... and the longer it takes me to get better at this, the slimmer my chances become at finding work!
    I really need help on this, so I would be extremely grateful for detailed and informative answers. Perhaps some links to very good video tutorials on learning how to effectively design webpages - Common things like Javascripted navigation bars, image slideshows, how to design working site search forms and contact forms, and how to use Wordpress. I ask this because there are so many terrbile tutorial videos out there (I know from experience) and it is next to impossible for myself, a beginner, to tell the good ones from the bad.
    Thankyou guys.

    CMS's like  WordPress, Joomla! & Drupal are popular open source (PHP & MySql) frameworks.  They contain all the backend PHP code needed to create a dynamic web site that contains capability for advanced functions:  site search, on-line editing, shopping carts, member log-in sites, blogs with comments, scripted contact forms, and so much more...
    The allure of Open Source frameworks is that they save developers time and money.  Instead of building everything from scratch (which can take months), an experienced developer can usually install WordPress on the client's server and be up & running in a few hours without customizations, or in a couple of weeks with customizations.   A firm understanding of PHP, how to set up a server-side database, backing up MySql, CSS theming, and HTML code are required skills to work with these frameworks.  WordPress is probably the easiest to set-up; Drupal is for more experienced coders.
    I am still not sure how I will know when I am competent enough to work in Web Design... What are the best signs that an individual is good enough?
    You're ready when you can look at code and understand what it means/does. Being able to problem solve, identify mistakes and fix them on your own is a must have skill.

  • Questions about CIN tax procedure choice and pricing schemas

    Hi all,
    I have to implement SAP on a Indian company and I'm verifying all particularity about this country (in particular tax procedures and the great number of differents tax conditions used).
    I have two questions about tax procedures and pricing schemas. Every feedback about thse points will be appreciated.
    a) To choose tax procedure TAXINN or TAXINJ which are the elements that I have to consider?
         I have read lot of documentation about CIN implementation and Iu2019m oriented to choose TAXINN schema, but If possible I  would  to understand better which are on behalf of one choice or another.
    b) To define pricing schemas for India, after check with local users and using examples of documents (in particular tax invoice) actually produced, I have understood that taxes have to be applied on amount defined starting from price list, minus discounts recognized to customer plus surcharges eventually to bill (packing, transport,  etc.).
    Itu2019s correct for any type of taxes that tax amount is calculated on u201Cnet valueu201D defined at item level or there are exceptions to this rule?
    Thanks in advance

    hi,
    this is to inform you that,
    a) About point 1 I know the difference between the 2 tax procedures (conditions or formulas). I also have read in others post in the FORUM that TAXINN is preferable. So I would to understand which are the advantages to choose instead TAXINJ. There are particular reasons or it'a only an alternative customizing setting?
    a.a. for give for posting the link : plese give me the advantages of TAXINJ and TAXINN
    CIN - TAXINN and TAXINJ
    b) About point 2, to define which value has to be used as base amount to calculate taxes isn't a choice, but is defined depending by fiscal requirement of the country, in this case India fiscal requirement. I know that, as Lakshmipathi
    write as answer on my question, exception could be, but it was important for me to understand if I have understood correctly the sequence of the pricing condition in the schema in "normal" situation.
    b.b. you can create your own pricing procedure for this and go ahead.
    hope this clears your issue.

  • Question about the notification center (Mails and Reminders)

    Hello together,
    I just started using Mountain Lion and now I have some few questions about the notification center.
    1. Is it possible to show all reminds in the notification center? I have a lot of reminds without an date / time and they don't appear in the notification center.
    2. Is it possible to show the last five Mails in the notification center? I'm just seeing new incoming mails, but I would prefer it, if I could see the last five mails
         (no matter if readed or unreaded).
    Thank you very much for you help.

    Hallo zusammen,
    ich habe gerade damit begonnen Mountain Lion zu verweden und habe einige Fragen zur Mitteilungszentrale.
    1. Ist es möglich alle Erinnerungen in der Zentrale anzuzeigen? Ich habe viele Erinnerungen, die ohne Datum / Uhrzeit sind und in der Mitteilungszentrale
         daher nicht auftauchen.
    2. Ist es möglich, sich die letzten fünf Mails in der Zentrale anzeigen zu lassen? Ich sehe nur neue ungelesene Mails, würde es aber vorziehen die letzten
         fünf Mails sehen zu können (egal ob gelesen oder ungelesen.)
    Danke für eure Hilfe.

    Only reminders with dates appear in the notification center - undated ones don't. Once an email has been read, it is removed from the notification center. Apple has a feedback center where you can offer suggestions.

  • Some questions about javacard 2.1.1 and smartcardio

    Hello i have some question about java card 2.1.1 and the smartcardio package.
    1.) I want to sign a message with the Signature.ALG_RSA_SHA_PKCS1 algorithm. I use the following code in the applet to sign the message:
    final static byte P1_CREATION_MODE = (byte) 0x01;
    final static byte INS_SIGN_MODE = (byte) 0x60;
    final static byte SmartCard_CLA = (byte) 0xB0;
    private void signMessage(APDU apdu) {
            byte[] buffer = apdu.getBuffer();
            byte byteRead = (byte) (apdu.setIncomingAndReceive());
            signature.init(privateKey, Signature.MODE_SIGN);
            short length = signature.sign(buffer, ISO7816.OFFSET_CDATA, byteRead, buffer, (short) 0);
            apdu.setOutgoingLength((short) length);
            apdu.sendBytesLong(buffer, (short) ISO7816.OFFSET_CDATA, (short) length);
            apdu.setOutgoing();
        }On the host side I use the following code to connect to the card and to send the sign apdu:
    if (TerminalFactory.getDefault().terminals().list().size() == 0) {
                LOGGER.log(Level.SEVERE, "No reader present");
                throw new NoSuchCardReader();
            /* Select the first terminal*/
            CardTerminal terminal = TerminalFactory.getDefault().terminals().list().get(0);
            /* Is a card present? */
            if (!terminal.isCardPresent()) {
                LOGGER.log(Level.SEVERE, "No Card present!");
                throw new NoSuchCard();
            /* Set the card protocol */
         Card card = terminal.connect("*");
            ATR atr = card.getATR();
            LOGGER.fine(getHexString(atr.getBytes()));
            LOGGER.fine(getHexString(atr.getHistoricalBytes()));
            CardChannel channel = card.getBasicChannel();
            CommandAPDU cmd = new CommandAPDU((byte) 0xb0, (byte) 0x60, (byte) 0x01, (byte) 0x00, new String("datadatdatadata").getBytes(), (byte) 0x40);
         ResponseAPDU response = channel.transmit(cmd);
            card.disconnect(false);But this does not work and i got the following error
    javax.smartcardio.CardException: sun.security.smartcardio.PCSCException: Unknown error 0x8010002f
            at sun.security.smartcardio.ChannelImpl.doTransmit(ChannelImpl.java:202)

            ... 3 more2.) 3Des encryption
    I want to use the 3Des algorithm to encrypt my data. I use
    keyDES = (DESKey) KeyBuilder.buildKey(KeyBuilder.TYPE_DES,
                        KeyBuilder.LENGTH_DES3_2KEY, false);
    cipherDES = Cipher.getInstance(Cipher.ALG_DES_CBC_ISO9797_M2, false);But i do not know what is the aquivalent on the host side??
    3.) Another problem is that i am not able to send the modulus of a public key from the host applikation to the smard card
    new CommandAPDU((byte) 0xb0, (byte) 0x20, (byte) 0x01, (byte) 0x00, modulus.toByteArray()); // create the apdu
    // the method in the applet
    private void setServerKeyMod(APDU apdu) {
            byte[] buffer = apdu.getBuffer();
            try {
                byte byteRead = (byte) (apdu.setIncomingAndReceive());
                short off = ISO7816.OFFSET_CDATA;
                // strip of any integer padding
                if (buffer[off] == 0) {
                    off++;
                    byteRead--;
                publicKeyServer.setModulus(buffer, off, byteRead);
            } catch (APDUException ex) {
                ISOException.throwIt((short) (SW_APDU_EXCEPTION + ex.getReason()));
        }The error code is 6700
    4.) My last problem ist, that i am not able to use a value bigger than 0x7F as the ne field in the apducommand, because i get the following error
    CommandAPDU((byte) 0xb0, (byte) 0x60, (byte) 0x01, (byte) 0x00, data, (byte) 0xff);
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: ne must not be negative
            at javax.smartcardio.CommandAPDU.<init>(CommandAPDU.java:371)
            at javax.smartcardio.CommandAPDU.<init>(CommandAPDU.java:252)I thought that it this should be possible in order to use all the bytes of the response apdu.
    If you need more code to help please let me know.
    Cheers

    2) What is PKCS? what is the difference between
    PKCS#11 and PKCS#15??PKCS is the abbreviation of "Public-Key Cryptography Standards"
    PKCS #11: Cryptographic Token Interface Standard
    See http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/node.asp?id=2133
    PKCS #15: Cryptographic Token Information Format Standard
    http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/node.asp?id=2141
    If you want to use yor smartcard as secure token it doesn't have to be a JavaCard.
    BTW: I don't remember a way to access PKCS#15 tokens on a JavaCard from within an oncard JavaCard program. If you want to use keys in your oncard program, you have to transfer it onto the card or generate it oncard and export the public key by your own oncard/offcard code.
