Questions about entering OCP

I have a few questions about OCP:
1) Why certified? Yes I read the answer in the FAQ in the forum, but it still doesn't convince me, what does it give to me? Does it qualify as an academic degree?
2)Ok, I decided to try and do it, now what? How can I know if there is such a thing in my country? What about books, tests and courses?
3)How many levels are there? I saw a few, from Professional to Master, what do those titles mean?
4)Do the test cost a lot of money? Because I have financial issues and might not be able to come up with a large sum of money.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.Matthew's covered pretty much everything. And no-ones focring you to do it.
In general, (and there are exceptions) OCA is a pre-requisite to OCP on the same track. Often (but not always) you will need to get to OCP level rather than OCA to be properly recognised.
OCM is a very high level and you dont really need to worry abut it initially.
OCS is normally associated with the Oracle Partnership program(OPN), but its specialist certifications can sometimes be applicable to those outside of it.
OCE is an expert in a particular area not directly associated with a track.
'OCP' covers a wide range of certifications and its interesting to focus on the ones that apply to yourself. So a better question to ask is which certifications in particular apply to me, and ideally have some correlation with current experience and where you intend your career to go.
Doing the certificaiton will give you a resource cost in terms of training and taking the exam. You should identify that cost prior to emarking on study.
In general OCA level does not require mandatory training. Usually OCP level and sometimes OCE does require mandatory training course attendance and verification and you need to factor that into account.
Of note is that PL/SQL OCP; MYSQLDBA OCP and Java SE OCP do not currently require mandatory training AFAIK; whereas DBA OCP (which often people think as the default OCP) does requre mandatory training. Unusually for OCP the DBA OCP training can sometimes be obtainined via the WDP program for significantly less cost ( I will not vouch for quality of all WDP providers). Got to http://certification.oracle.com and identify and cost.

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

hi just got my new apple ipod touch and to download apps it wants to add questions about myself for more sercurity information. i get up to question 3 and it wont let me select a question but it will let me write an answer so i just pressed done and then it says i cant carry on because ive mised out information when it wont let me do a 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)

Question about required workshop classes for OCP

Im working on finishing up my OCP in a few months. Quick question about the workshop class. Is there a test at the end of the week?
Also how do most people pay for these classes? They are pretty steep and my company doesnt pay for stuff like this for me. Im paying totally out of my own pocket. Also why is the online class the same amount as the instructor lead class? Its not like im in a room at some building that Oracle has to lease for use or something.

A lot of questions about my MacBook Air

I am really new to re-using Apple computers.The last time I used an Apple computer was back in 1987 when the school and my family had Apple IIGS computers. I have been using PC's which reqiure Microsoft. I a lot of have questions (10 questions) about my MacBook Air and I hope you good people can and will help me.
Product: MacBook Air
Operating System: Mac OS X Version 10.7.4
1) I Downloaded MacKeeper because I was fooled. I had a bad feeling just before I Downloaded it and I should have listened to my heart. However, I didn't buy it or fully Install it. It was like a test run and then they wanted me to pay almost $100 for it. Thankfully, I didn't because I read it is Malware. I spoke with an Apple Tech at Apple Care and he helped me get rid of it (or so we think). I don't see it anymore on my computer. I read it can slow down your computer. How can you tell if it's really off of the computer?
2) When I open "Finder" and I see that there are people Sharing my computer with me. I went into AirDrop and it reads, "Other people can see your Mac as (my name) MacBook Air when their computer is nearby." I bought a HotSpot and while it's turned on and I selected it as my WI-FI connection I thought it would get rid of these people, protect what I type, me, my items, computer, etc. But it didn't.
I didn't know that I have to buy a exteral CD and/or DVD Player in order to connect to the brand new Modem and Router in one by NetGear. I am so used to PCs and the CD/DVD Players being built inside.
The people at Apple Store told me that there is an internal modem inside, but I don't know how to find it and what to do then. Should I use a Firewall?, An AntiVirus, AntiMalware, AntiSpyware, etc. Apple Care tech told me I don't need to get an AntiVirus.
3) Is there a new kind of Wireless Modem and Router that doesn't require a CD-ROM?
4) When I travel or fly and I am not close to home I was told by Best Buy and Sprint that I had to buy a mobile HotSpot to use the computer (WI-FI) safely. As I typed, I have one. But it's pretty expensive and only gives me 1 hour and 15 minutes per day to Stream. What can I do to use this computer safely Online when I am out of range from a Modem and Router? What do people do when they travel on airplanes?
5) This compter won't let me use "Raid." I think you have to have a newer version. I hard about Raid on the radio from Leo (can't recall his last name) who's a Tech expert.
6) Should I buy a ZipDrive? Apple Store Tech told me that I didn't need a ZipDrive. I just remember the episode of HBO's "Sex and The City" when Carrie looses everything because her copy crashed. Now, of course, I know that's a fictional show, but with PC's and Microsoft I have lost everything when it crashed, frooze up, etc. I know there's iClouds. I heard about Carbonite, but I have read the Pros and Cons about it. Mostly they are Cons about it. I just don't want to do anything wrong and mess up this computer.
7) Should I buy a new Printer/Copier/Scanner because mine is an HP. It's not new, but it works. I even have a CD-ROM for Macs. What about the new product called, "Neat"?
8) Is there a special product that I should buy to do Online Banking and/or other important stuff?
9) I saw and read about iWork in the Apps Store and it sounds cool. I still have alot of friends and colleagues who still use Microsoft. Is iWork good to use? Should I Download it from the Apple Apps Store or can a buy it at Apple? Is there another Word Processing Program that is great and user friendly and will work with Macs and PCs?
10) Should I Update the OS with OS X Mountian Lion Pro from the Apple Apps Store or buy it at Apple Store?
In advance, I wish to thank you in this Apple Support Communites for your help. Have a safe and happy holiday weekend!

1) Here are instructions for removing MacKeeper. Since it mostly consists of manually looking for folders and specific files, if you follow the instructions you either fail to find what you are told to find (because your AppleCare guide gave you complete instructions which you followed) or you'll find some additional files that need to be replaced.
2 & 3) I assume you are looking at the sidebar of a Finder window and seeing Shared and computers under it. Those are computers that you can potentionally share. To do so you'd need an account on their computer and a password. They are not sharing your computer.
AirDrop allows you to create an adhoc network for filesharing and it only functions when you have selected the AirDop item in the SideBar. Actually doing that merely announces to computers in the same network node that your computer is available for a file to be sent to. Even then you have to explicitly allow the file to be downloaded to your computer. Similarly you'd be able to see other computers with AirDrop selected and be able to send them a file - which they'd have to accept.
The only reason your NetGear Router comes with a CD is to install and run their 'easy' step by step configuration program. It can also be done manually with a browser. Read the manual to find the IP address you must enter to access the router's configuration menu. Apple's WiFi routers don't require a CD to install the software because the configuration software is already on your computer.
I do have my firewall turned on. AntiVirus software isn't a bad idea - I use Sophos having tested it for a review for our local User Group and I found I liked it better than ClamAVx which is what I'd been using before. Both are free.
4) I think you were scammed by Sprint and BestBuy. I use hotel, coffee shop, and restaurant WiFi spots and have for years. However, because they can be unsecured, I do not shop online or bank when I'm using them. I also use 1Password and don't reuse passwords so even if a sniffer should grab an account and password that's all it would get - one account.
5) Raid doesn't really make sense with a MacBook Air - a RAID involves 2 or more disks being used as if they were one.
6) Zip drive? No. External hard drive - yes. It isn't a question of if a computer's hard drive will malfunction, it is when. OWC has a nice selection of external drives and the Mac has a built in backup system called TimeMachine. Due to the way TimeMachine works, I've found that your TimeMachine drive should be at least twice as large - and preferably 3-4 times as large as the data you are backing up.
7) if your printer works and it has Mountain Lion drivers, why replace it?
8) Online banking is done with a browser - Use Safari or FireFox
9) If trading files with Windows users is important Mac: Office is your best bet. If not, iWork, Mac:Office, or LibreOffice are all good possibilities.
10) you can only buy Mt Lion via the App Store.

Questions about Prompts -

Hi,
I have two questions about Prompt.
1) We have a dashboard with multiple tabs - We have noticed the Prompt Values copy from one tab to another. User doesn't want this to happen. Every tab should have there own default. Is it possible that previous tab prompt value should not copy to another tab prompt.
2) Is there a possible to have a prompt with Multi Select and Enterable field.
Thanks,
Poojak

hi,
Please see the answers below
1)You can set the dashboard prompt scope to 'Page'.In this way it will affect reports present only on that page
2)you can make a dashboard prompt 'Multiselect'.By default it will be drop down.If you go to your prompt there are options for these configuration.
Thanks

Few questions about apex + epg and cookie blocked by IE6

Hi,
I would like to ask a few questions about apex and epg.
I have already installed and configured apex 3.2 on oracle 10g (on my localhost - computer name 'chen_rong', ip address -192.168.88.175 ), and enable anonymous access xdb http server.
now,
1. I can access 'http://chen_rong' , 'http://localhost' , 'http://192.168.88.175' without input username / password for realm 'XDB' in IE6;
2. I can access 'http://localhost/apex/apex_admin' , 'http://192.168.88.175/apex/apex_admin' , and I can be redirected into apex administation page after input admin/<my apex admin password> for realm 'APEX' in IE6;
3. I can access 'http://chen_rong/apex/apex_admin' in IE6, but after input admin/password , I can not be redirected into administation page, because the cookie was blocked by IE6.
then, the first question is :
Q1: What is the difference among 'http://chen_rong' , 'http://localhost' , 'http://192.168.88.175' ? I have already include site 'chen_rong' into my trusted stes! why the cookie was blocked by IE6. I have already tried firefox and google browser, both of them were ok for 'chen_rong', no cookie blocked from site 'chen_rong'!
and,
1. I have tried to use the script in attachment to test http authentication and also want to catch the cookie by utl_http .
2. please review the script for me.
3. I did:
SQL> exec show_url('http://localhost/apex/apex_admin/','ADMIN','Passw0rd');
HTTP response status code: 401
HTTP response reason phrase: Unauthorized
Please supplied the required Basic authentication username/password for realm XDB for the Web page.

======================================
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed
4. I also did :
SQL> exec show_url('http://localhost/apex/apex_admin/','ANONYMOUS','ANONYMOUS');
HTTP response status code: 500
HTTP response reason phrase: Internal Server Error
Check if the Web site is up.
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed

Web page http://localhost/apex/apex_admin/ is protected.
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 147
WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="APEX"
======================================
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed
my second questions is :
Q2: After I entered into realm 'XDB', I still need went into realm'APEX'. how could I change the script show_url to accomplish these two tasks and successfully get the cookie from site.
the show_url script is as following:

I use oracle database enterprise edtion 10.2.0.3. I have already figured out the epg on 10.2.0.3 to support apex 3.2.
And as I described above, the apex site works fine for ip address , and localhost. but the cookie will be blocked by IE6, if I want to access the site by 'http://computername:port/apex/apex_admin'. This problem does not occured in firefox and google browser. Could someone give me answer?

One question about Pricing and Conditions puzzle me for a long time!

One question about Pricing and Conditions puzzle me for a long time.I take one example to explain my question:
1-First,my sale order use pricing procedure RVAA01.
2-Next,the pricing procedure RVAA01 have some condition type,such as EK01(Actual Costs),PR00(Price)....,and so on.
3-Next,the condition type PR00 define the Access Sequences PR00 as it's Access Sequences.
4-Next,the Access Sequences PR00 have some Condition tables,such as:
     table 118 : "Empties" Prices (Material-Dependent)
     table 5 : Customer/Material
     table 6 : Price List Type/Currency/Material
     table 4 : Material
5-Next,I need to maintain Condition tables's Records.Such as the table 5(Customer/Material).I guess the sap would supply one screen for me to input the data of table 5.At this screen,the sap would ask me to select one table,such as table 5.When I select the table 5,the sap would go to the screen to let me input the data of table 5.But when I use the T-CODE VK31 or VK32 to maintain Condition tables's Record,I found it's total different from my guess:
A-First,I can not found one place for me to open the table,such as table 5,to let me input the data?
B-Second,For example,when I select the VK31->Discounts/Surcharges->By Customer/Material,the sap show the grid view at the right side.At the each line of the grid view,you need to select the Condition Type at the first field.And this make me confused very much.Why the sap need me to select one Condition Type but not the Condition table?To the normal logic,it ought not to select Condition table but not the Condition Type!
Dear all,I'm a new one in sd.May be this is a very stupid question.But it did puzzle me for a long time.If any one can explain this question in detail and let me understand the concept,I will appreciate him/her very much.Thank you.

Hi,
You said that you are using the T.codes VK31 or VK32.
These transaction codes are used to enter condition records for standard condition types. As you can see a grid left side having all the standard condition types like price, discounts, taxes, frieghts.
Pl check using T.code VK11 OR VK12 (change mode)
Here you can enter the required condition type, in the intial screen. (like PR00, MWST, K004, K005 .....etc)
After giving the condition type, press enter or click on Combinations icon on top of the screen. Then you can see all the condition tables which you maintained for that condition type. Like as you said table 118, table 5, table 6 and table 4.
You can select any table and press enter, then you can go into the screen in which you have all the field cataglogues you maintained for that table. For example you selected combination of Customer/Material (table 5) then after you press enter then you can see customer field on top, and material fields.
You can give all the required values and save the conditon record.
Hope this is clear.
REWARD IF HELPFUL.

Some questions about importing HTML files

Hi, folks
Let's suppose we want to import a pack of HTML files formatted in HTML5 wit's it's CSS into a double-oriented folio. A couple or three questions about that, please:
1. Is there a limit for a reasonable quantity of HTML files I can import into a folio? I mean.. 100 would be way too much, for instance?
2. These HTML files could be navigated and referenced from inside TOC-pages made in InDesign,right? (navto://..., I gues?)
2. Will it be possible, by means of HTML adaptative design techniques, to treat both orientations (vertical and horizontal) as different viewports or screen sizes so that the design adapts for instance the column width with its CSS?
3. That said, will the InDesign final app. respect that adaptative CSS rules?
I am asking this because we are looking for a way to inject big quantities of content with a very similar design into our application in a really fast and automatizable way and I have the suspicion* that importing HTML5 preformated CSS files could be the a very good and simple alternative to importing XML into InDesign templates as we start out content as tagged almost-html files.
Thanks a lot
Gustavo Sánchez (Posting from Madrid)

I assume you are asking about using HTML articles.
1. There is no limit beyond simply keeping things reasonable.
2. Yes. Just use navto://articlename
3. Yes. I've used min-width of 768 and max width of 1024 to control it.
4. InDesign does not enter into any of this with the exception of using the folio builder panel. Everything else is done in Dreamweaver or whatever program you decide to use for the article.
If you want to restrict the HTML articles to one orientation or the other, use the _h and _v suffixes.

Question about using Revel on iPhone4

I have just created 3 carousels on Revel and put pictures in them from my camera roll. Now I want to move some to a different carousel. I can copy and put them in the new carousel, but how do I delete them from the original carousel without deleting the picture from the entire system? The delete warning concerns me.

I have another question about the Vision:M. I was curious if you're able to password protect certain folders so that in order to access them, you have to put in a password. I know you can password protect files so it can't be messed with or whatever, but it doesn't stop the files from being viewed. Is there any way to do this?
there is an option somewhere in the settings menu to hide protected files, so you can't see them or edit them till the password is entered.

thank you all for helping.
I will write more information about my questions may this help others:
*{ /WEB-INF/web.xml* - The +Web Application Deployment
Descriptor+ for your application. This is an XML file describing
the servlets and other components that make up your application,
along with any initialization parameters and container-managed
security constraints that you want the server to enforce for you.
This file is discussed in more detail in the following subsection.
As mentioned above, the <code>/WEB-INF/web.xml</code> file contains the
Web Application Deployment Descriptor for your application. As the filename
extension implies, this file is an XML document, and defines everything about
your application that a server needs to know (except the context path,
which is assigned by the system administrator when the application is
deployed).
The complete syntax and semantics for the deployment descriptor is defined
in Chapter 13 of the Servlet API Specification, version 2.3. Over time, it
is expected that development tools will be provided that create and edit the
deployment descriptor for you. In the meantime, to provide a starting point,
a [basic web.xml file|http://localhost:8080/docs/appdev/web.xml.txt]
is provided. This file includes comments that describe the purpose of each
included element.
NOTE - The Servlet Specification includes a Document
Type Descriptor (DTD) for the web application deployment descriptor, and
Tomcat 6 enforces the rules defined here when processing your application's
<code>/WEB-INF/web.xml</code> file. In particular, you must
enter your descriptor elements (such as <code><filter></code>,
<code><servlet></code>, and <code><servlet-mapping></code> in
the order defined by the DTD (see Section 13.3).
h4. } from tomcat documentation
Tomcat Context Descriptor
bq. A /META-INF/context.xml file can be used to define Tomcat specific \\ configuration options, such as loggers, data sources, session manager \\ configuration and more. This XML file must contain one Context element, which \\ will be considered as if it was the child of the Host element corresponding \\ to the Host to which the The Tomcat configuration documentation contains \\ information on the Context element.
}from tomcat documentation
but I still want more information about this question:
Q3: I want to distribute (sell to another organaization) without give sorce code in jsp files.So I want to precompile it to be just class files or jar files.
I want to use ant that become with netbeans 6.1.can anyone give me information about how to do that.
thank you again

Basic questions about programing for J9 VM

I need to create a java application to run on a Pocket PC 2003 OS and I'm limited to using IBM's Websphere J9 Virtual Machine. I'm new to using java in this capacity and therefore have lots of questions which I'm guessing are pretty basic. Despite my best efforts, I've found very little to help me online. Below are a couple questions I have that I'm hoping someone can help me with. Even better, if you know of any resources that could help me with these and other questions, I'd love to have them. Thanks in advance.
1. I'm using standard AWT for the GUI but I'm having problems getting frames, dialogs, etc., to come up in anything less then full screen. setSize() and resize() have no effect, even if I extend the frame and override the setMinimumSize, setPreferredSize, setMaximumSize methods. What do I need to do to get a child window to appear in something less than full screen?
2. I'd like to be able to add menu's to the buttom toolbar (with the keyboard) but have no idea how I would add something to it. Can someone point me in the right direction?
3. When my application gets an iconified event I go ahead and call a System.exit() to exit the application. This doesn't kill the java VM though, which continues to run in the background (taking up plenty of memory). If I run my application using the J9w.exe so that it runs without the console, then not only does the VM continue to run, but I have no way to stop it (the running program list can't see it). Since each time I run my application it starts a new VM, it only takes a couple of times before I'm out of memory and have to do a soft reset of the PDA to make things right. Can I kill the VM when I kill my application?
4. I learn best by looking at example code, but have been unable to find any code people are running on J9. I have the GolfScoreTracker installed and running on my PDA, but the jar file contains only the classes. Since it's supposed to be a demo, I had hoped that the source code would be included, is that hoping too much or is the source code available somewhere? In addition, if you know of any applications out there with available source code that are known to run well on a PocketPC J9 environment I'd appreciate the link.

Hi there, I saw your questions, im currently developing a java pocket pc application as well and here's what i go so far:
AWT seem to be hard to use on pocket pc, instead i recommend that you use SWT, which is a technology developed by eclipse. It's already installed on the eclipse plugins, you just need to download the jar and dll files for the pocket pc. They are available at: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/index.php
I assume that you already have the J9 working on your device. So you only need to copy the SWT.jar file and the swt-win32-3064.dll to the folder containing the .class files on your device.
Now, on your java IDE(im using eclipse) Add the SWT.jar library to your project which should be on C:/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.win32_3.0.2/ws/win32/swt.jar or something like taht depending on your eclipse root.
Now you are ready to code some SWT, here is a sample program from Carolyn MacLeod, i modified a few things so it could run on the pocket pc but it's almost the same. Once you coded in eclipse run it, then copy the class file from your desktop to your device(There should be like 4 or 5 classes like sample.class, sample$1.class etc. copy all of them) where you put the jar and dll files(If program does not run you may try to rename the dll file for swt-win32-3050.dll instead of 3064.dll). Now after you have everything set up you need to create the lnk file in order to run the program. On your desktop create a new textfile and write the following on it:
255#"\Archivos de Programa\J9\PPRO10\bin\j9w.exe" "-jcl:PPRO10" "-cp" "\My
Documents\Java\swt.jar" ;\My Documents\Java" sample
Paths depend on your install, and the place where you put your classes and jar file. path for j9w is usually "\Program Files\J9\PPRO10\bin\j9w.exe", and the last word should be the classname.
Currently this form only displays an image on a canvas, click on the browse button and choose a pic and it will display on the canvas. Im trying to connect the form to an oracle database but no success yet on the device.
Hope it helps, if you have any questions about the code or something, and I know the answer, please feel free to ask.

Basic questions about Ironport

Dear responder,
I have some questions about the S series Web Security Ironport, It would be appreciated to respond it one by one.
1-Is ironport can work independently if i buy it alone and put it on the edge of my network and connect the internet to the one of that ports and connect my local lan switch to the other port?
2-If i can use it independanly can i use it in the Transparent proxy mode not the explicit one and make it sensitive to the Http traffic to bring the Authentication page for new users who want to connect to the Internet?
3-Is there any authentication page in ironport or i have connect to the ironport to use Internet like VPN connection by an agent?
4-Assume that if a user is currently log-in and the user wants to log-out, it there any way to Logout from the Ironport with a specific page for loging-out?
5-Is there any local database is available into the Ironport to create users?
6-Is there any option to define radius or Ldap server address as User database to read when needed for authentication propose?
thank you so much.

Good Afternoon Abraham,
In my answers I'll assume you'll get AsyncOS 7.5 for Web for your WSA.
1. This is "in-line" mode, and while the documentation doesn't specifically say you can't do this, it doesn't say you can either. The support on this is fuzzy.   There are 2 supported ways to deploy a WSA: Transparent redirection (using WCCP or policy-based routing), or explicit mode, using settings in the browser, or PAC files.
2. If I understand your question, the answer is yes. With transparent redirection, you can force all http traffic to the WSA, and require users to authenticate. You can force the users to enter a username and password, or it can happen automatically (see answer 3)
3. There are a few ways to handle authentication for your users:
     They can authenticate to the the ironport, which can do a lookup against your LDAP or Active Directory.
     It can transparently authenticated them if you're using Active Directory and a browser that supports it (IE, Firefox, Chrome)
     You can use the ADAgent (runs on a seperate box) which scrapes the security logs from the AD domain controllers and passed authenticated users and their IP to the the Ironport.
4. I'm not aware of a "logout" page.
5. There is a "local database" for administrative users, and you can use RADIUS for administrative users, but not for your regular users. (see answer 6)
6. Yes. You can use LDAP, Novell eDirectory, or Microsoft Active Directory for your users.
I hope that helps!

Questions about Access Manager tutorials available in netbeans site

Hi
Thank you for reading my post
I have some questions about two tutoral which i find in :
http://www.netbeans.org/kb/55/amsecurity.html and
http://www.netbeans.org/kb/55/amsecurity-liberty.html
here is my problem :
we have some web services, now we want to have authentication applied for consumer who try to access our web services.
we need to have most possible flexibility because we may deploy the server for a customer with an already established Identity database ( Database Table with user details)
Also we need to have Transport level security using SSL.
I read and studied both of them and now i have some questions :
-I think Securing Web Services Using the SAML or UserNameToken is what we need for authentication and autorization of web service consumers?
is that right?
-Does Sun Java System Access Manager provide flexibility to authenticate user/password with a database table content?
-How we can apply roles in Sun Java System Access Manager when we authenticate users ?
Thanks

Imagine that we want to have an end to end security for our web services
we thought that we could use message level encryption to protect the soap message and also we should protect our web services from un-authenticated acess,
we will use userName token for this.
Our customer has large database which contains many user/password and role of those users.
some of web services should be available to higher role (manager) and not for all users.
so we should check a user role before we allows him/her to access a web service.
my question is whether Sun Access manager can help us with this? or there are other configuration or packages that we should apply to have this feature.
to explain more :
our client side is a swing application, users enter username/password to login into system. after they loged in, we send user/pass every time user want to request some data from some services. (is it good to send user/pass every time?)
We want Sun Access Manager to handle users authentication .
We also need to handle role related authorization, can Sun access manager handle this?
Thanks

Question about inputting data to a pivot table

Hi,
I have 2 questions about using the ADF pivot table component (I would like it for data input).
1. Is it possible to paste into multiple cells (i.e. using cut in Excel for example, and then pasting the cells into the pivot table) ?
2. What is the recommended approach for the case where there is no data values (no rows on the database table)? For example, if I have regions, products, measures and time periods and then want to be able to select some regions and some products to enter new sales figures - and then create the rows on the database with save button, is there a recommended way to do this?
(Jdeveloper version: 11.1.2.0.0)

Anybody able to help with this?

Question about "synchronized" and "wait"

Hello, everyone!
I have seen a piece of code like this,
synchronized (lock)
//do operation 1
lock.wait();
//do operation 2
I think in the above piece of code, when a thead finished operation 1, it will release the lock and let other threads waiting for the lock have chance to run the same block of code. Am I correct?
If I am correct, I have a further question, a "synchronized" block means a set of operations that can not be interrupted, but when invoke "wait" method, the thread running in the "synchronized" block will be terminated (interrupted) by release the lock and other threads will have chance to enter the "synchronized" block. In short, the execution inside the "synchronized" block will be interrupted. So, I wonder whether the above piece of code is correct and conforms to the principle of "synchronized". And what is its real use?
Thanks in advance,
George

Thanks, pkwooster buddy!You're welcome
I just wondered whether "wait inside a synchronized
block" technology is thread safe. Please look at the
following example,wait and synchronized are thread safe.
public class Foo {
int mVal= 0;
public final Object mLock = ...;
public void doIt() {
synchronized(mLock) {
mVal = ...;
mLock.wait();
if (mVal == ...) {
// do something
} else {
// do something else
}If we have two threads, T1 and T2, enter the block in
their respective order, and T1 is woken up first, T2
may have tampered with T1's execution path because T2
changed mVal while T1 was asleep. So T2 manipulate
instance field mVal is a side-effect.when you do the wait() you give up the lock and the other threads get a chance to run. When you exit the wait() you get the new value of the myVal variable which may have been changed. This is exactly what you want. To make that not thread save you could do
int temp = myVal;
wait();
if(temp == ...)in this case the variable temp contains the old vale of myVal.
>
I think the most safest way is never wait inside a
synchronized block, but it is less efficient. What do
you think about the trick of wait inside a
synchronized block? I think you are very experienced
in thread field from your kind reply.
Thanks in advance,
Georgewait(), notify() and notifyAll() are very useful. You need them when you want threads to cooperate in an predictable manner. I recommend that you review the section on consumer and producer classes and wait and notify in the Threads Tutorial. It gives good examples. For a practical example of this you could also take a look at my Multithreaded Server Example. It implements a simple chat server that switches String messages. Look especially at the send(), doSend() and popMessage() methods in the StreamConnection class. These allow the receive thread of one user to send messages out using the send thread of another user. If you have questions about that example, please post the questions on that topic.
Hope this helps.
