Request: Curve components

This is a request for new features:
A path, line or bezier shape component. (Number 1 feature request!)
A graph component.
A menu component.
A clock component.
A colour chooser component.
A canvas component.
A 3D image component! (wishful thinking!) But could display OBJ models or 3DS models perhaps.
\^_^/

Zenaminator, It'll be great if you can please add this information to the main Requested Feature thread at
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/2e1f9446-56b2-419a-9c17-7037d2cd6146/from-the-community-overview-of-requested-additional-functionality?forum=projectsiena. Then the team will be able to look at it along with other requests.
Thanks.

JNDI lookup for request scope component,

Hi,
I have 2 web applications part of single ear file.
Where One application is ATG application having ATG pipeline defined in its web.xml
and 2nd one is a simple j2ee web application.
From 2nd application if I try to lookup a request scoped component by following code
String jndiName = "dynamo:/------compenent path------";
Context ctx = new javax.naming.InitialContext ();
Scheduler s = (Scheduler) ctx.lookup (jndiName);
it shows me following error.
** Error Fri Nov 16 11:04:20 CST 2012 1353085460117 / Invalid attempt to resolve component /atg/-------component path------/ in scope global. It is defined in scope request
Is there any way to resolve it ?
Edited by: Arvind Pal on Nov 16, 2012 2:00 PM

It seems the scheduler global component is resolving the request scope component internally.
For request scope components there should be DynamoHttpServletRequest object in context to resolve.
DynamoHttpServletRequest object is created as part of servlet pipeline.
As you request is not going thru servlet pipeline, there is no DynamoHttpServletRequest and hence the request scope components cannot be resolved.
So check in the scheduler why do you need to resolve the request scope component. Its not good practice to resolve them in schedulers.
Peace

Better curves control

To me, curves is far and away the best tool for accurate, controlled image adjustment, and it really disappoints me that Lightroom is so lacking in this area.
In Photoshop, and even Bridge, we can easily isolate Red, Green, and Blue channels in the Curves adjustment. This seems like a pretty simple thing, and adds a LOT of control to the adjustments:
FEATURE REQUEST - individual channel control in curves
It would also be fantastic to have the control of curves when using the masked adjustments (adjustment brush and gradient adjust). It would allow so much more control than the basic sliders that are currently offered. I'd personally be fine with this just as a "grey" curve, without RGB control as requested above:
FEATURE REQUEST - curves adjustment applied selectively using the adjustment brush
Has anyone else been wishing for these features? Or some other improvement of the curves tool in Lightroom?
Thanks! Ross

I too have my fears about Lightroom keeping up.
For example: CaptureOne & DxO, once strong, have been more or less relegated to niche domain - because they don't have locals (nobody did back when but now its standard fare...) (I mean that's not the only reason, but no-locals is a deal-breaker for a lot of folks)
Lightroom, while strong now, could easily lose share dramatically if a raw converter came out for windows that matched Lightroom quality and had more powerful develop tools so users did not have to use external editors for things like RGB curve / targeted color adjustment.
What if Bibble is bought by Microsoft or Google or somebody with deeper pockets who invests in a re-vamp of the raw converter, and polishes the UI, and makes it rock-solid yet still fast, christens it with some ground-breaking auto-mask technology, does not inadvertently drop support for imaging plugins (or even upgrades it to be Photoshop plugin compatible, even if only on a limited basis), and starts selling it for three or four hundred dollars or so - look out Lightroom! IMO, Adobe should be preparing for this - re-writing Lightroom (if necessary) to support more powerful Develop tools - lest they be caught off-guard by some aggressive new raw-image post-processing firm or app.

Scope of components in atg

hi everyone,
i just want to know the default scope and the recommended scope of
1) droplets
2) form-handlers
will the objects of the respective component be destroyed after the scope?

This is a broad question, but the general recommendation for scope of Nucleus components are (in order of preference):
1. Global: for everything that doesn't have per-request or per-session (including reference to the current Profile) state or references.
2. Request: for everything that has request or session references, but doesn't need state that lasts between requests. Note that ATG request scope does carry over after a form-handler redirect (kind of like "flash scope" in some other systems).
3. Session: for things that have state that needs to last across multiple requests or the entire length of the session (profile and shopping cart, for example). Session components can also be used to cache per-user data that is expensive to fetch or calculate.
You want to try to minimize session-scoped components, since they both lead to more per-user session memory usage, and session scoped components require extra configuration and thought to properly handle session fail-over.
However, if you are manually resolving request or session components in a globally scoped component, chances are good it should be request or session scoped itself (outside of a few special cases).
For FormHandlers, you should probably start out with request scope as the default, since they typically need access to the user's profile, shopping chart, or other per-user data.
For Droplets, you should probably start out with global scope as the default, unless they need a configured reference to a session or request-scoped components. Alternatively, a droplet can remain globalky scoped but can require that the caller pass in the profile (or whatever) as a required input parameter (a little more work for the caller, though).

Use of repeating request monitor

hi,
i am new to atg.
can any one tell the use of repeating request monitor?
can i know what all are expected to be know from a ATG develope(for a junior)? ( which topics of atg)

can any one tell the use of repeating request monitor?class is atg.commerce.util.RepeatingRequestMonitor
The class RepeatingRequestMonitor is designed for use as a session scoped component. It is used to track request threads that register themselves as executing by name and for a designated time period, to ensure that the same request handler is not executed by two request scoped components concurrently (as happens when a user clicks a submit button multiple times).
Form handlers should use this by calling the RepeatingRequestMonitor.isUniqueRequestEntry() method. The boolean return value indicates whether the handler is free to proceed execution, or whether another request scoped component has recently been executing the same method for this session. The handler may specify a timeout duration for this entry, or use the configurable default timeout. After the critical execution, the handler may remove the request entry or have these otherwise expire after the timeout.
can i know what all are expected to be know from a ATG develope(for a junior)? ( which topics of atg)We can do in ATG "Profile Management", "Browse and Search", Shopping Cart", Checkout and so on..
As a fresher you should know flow upto checkout and you should have deep knowledge in one task like Profile Management.

1.4.2 SDK requires recent wininet.dll?!

Trying to run j2sdk-1_4_2-windows-i586-iftw.exe resulted in the message "1643: Setup requires a newer version of WinInet.dll. You may need to install IE 3.02 or later."
Since when does Java require IE to run?
I didn't have this problem installing 1.4.1. Any way around this?

I've got stuck on the 1.4.2 install as well - I guess that Java doesnt need IE but the new setup program does - the 1.4.1 install worked fine but the new one seems to download a small portion and then request other components - except that sometimes it doesnt work and then we're stuck. Oh Joy

Is BPEL SE necessary for inter component interaction

Hi,
I wanted to achieve the following architecture
Client sends soap request to HTTP Bc, HTTP Bc ->NMR, NMR -> SMTP Bc and SMTP Bc --> external mail server(service)
or
Client sends soap request to HTTP Bc, HTTP Bc ->NMR, NMR -> HL7 Bc and HL7 Bc --> external Repository(service)
I wanted to achieve it without BPEL. Because I am not orchestrating anything here.I just wanted to deligate request.But I found only BPEL examples in java.net site.
According to JBI specification NMR is responsible for deligating the requests between components, then why we need to use BPEL?

Thanks a lot Michael .Thanks every one.
Now I figured out that I've to take a much deeper dive in to WSDL 2.0.
By the way I got one more problem ....
I could able to communicate HTTP BC--> SMTP BC without using BPEL .
When I tried to do the same example in the following way I could not able to do it .
1.Create Composite Application in NetBeansIDE
2. Create WSDL for HTTP BC and WSDL for SMTP BC
3. Import SMTP BC WSDL to HTTP BC WSDL.
4. In Service Assembly Editor Canvas add the two ports from above created WSDL.
5. Now try to connect HTTPBC to SMTPBC in Service Assembly Editor Canvas.
I could not able connect two end points .
My question here is, How is the same example worked with step by step procedure that you mentioned in the "05JBI_HTTP2SMTP_NoBPEL.pdf"
Why not in my step by step procedure mentioned above? Is there any limitation with NetBeansIDE?
Thanks,
Jay

Mac OS (only) security exception

I have seen on the server that this applet is requesting java components like java.util and META-INF etc straight off the root of the host that is hosting the applet.
Why does java do this on the mac, because the server is replying NO YOU CANT HAVE THAT COMPONENT BECAUSE I DONT HAVE IT, and the cakephp thing I have is also thinking to itself (what on earth is this applet guy asking me for java components for) and to be honest so is the developer, and then my friend mac gets upset and dies with security exception. (e.g Java.util package prohibited).
Windows doesn't do it and neither does vista and the applet runs ok.
On mac, the webstart version works ok but still requests the stuff from the server but feels a bit better about continuing on and launching the app.
This is driving me up the wall.

Hello,
On my PowerPC G5 I have a similar issue where I installed Mac OS X 10.5.6, but after installing the iphone SDK I do not see any refs to iphone when in Xcode.
I even tried the suggestion here:
http://3by9.com/85/dont-have-an-intel-machine-but-want-to-code-for-the-iphone-an yway-follow-these-steps/
This however, resulted in the same issue.
Any suggestion on how to resolve this would be most appreciated.

JSF Ri 1.1: Conversion executed in the wrong life cycle?

Hi,
If you look at the converter api doc of getObjectAs it states: "Convert the specified string value, which is associated with the specified UIComponent, into a model data object that is appropriate for being stored during the Apply Request Values phase of the request processing lifecycle."
However when I run a simple test with a debug phaselistener and a converter and they print data using system.out.println I see that the getAsObject is called in the process validations phase. I think this is incorrect. Has anybody seen this before?
With kind regards,
/Arnoud.
Before:RESTORE_VIEW 1
After:RESTORE_VIEW 1
Before:APPLY_REQUEST_VALUES 2
After:APPLY_REQUEST_VALUES 2

Before:UPDATE_MODEL_VALUES 4
After:UPDATE_MODEL_VALUES 4
Before:INVOKE_APPLICATION 5
After:INVOKE_APPLICATION 5
Before:RENDER_RESPONSE 6
Converter getAsString
After:RENDER_RESPONSE 6

It seems then, that the 1.1 specification has contradictions:
Under Section "3.3.2 Converter" it clearly reads as it was quoted above:
+This method [getAsObject] is used to convert the presentation view of a components value+
+(typically a String that was received as a request parameter) into the corresponding+
+model view. It is called during the Apply Request Values phase of the request+
processing lifecycle.
There is no mention here of the immediate flag, so one should be able to assume that
Apply Request Values is the phase in which the getAsObject method is normally executed.
Then there's there's this quote from Section "2.2.2 Apply Request Values":
Components that implement EditableValueHolder (such as UIInput), and
whose immediate property is set to true, will cause the conversion and
validation processing (including the potential to fire ValueChangeEvent events)
+that normally happens during Process Validations phase to occur during Apply+
Request Values phase instead.
How can it be that conversion "normally happens during Process Validations phase"
when a converter's getAsObject method is called called during the Apply Request Values
phase? Isn't that contradictory?

Appropriate Phase for Conversions - JSF 1.1 Spec. Contradiction?

It seems that the JSF 1.1 Specification has contradictions:
From Section "3.3.2 Converter" it reads:
+This method [getAsObject] is used to convert the presentation view of a components value+
+(typically a String that was received as a request parameter) into the corresponding+
+model view. It is called during the Apply Request Values phase of the request+

+that normally happens during Process Validations phase to occur during Apply+
Request Values phase instead.
How can it be that conversion "normally happens during Process Validations phase"
when a converter's getAsObject method is called called "during the Apply Request Values
phase?"
In practice, using the Sun RI and without any immediate flags being set, it happens
in the Process Validations phase.

AfterPhase: APPLY_REQUEST_VALUES 2

Am I missing something or is the specification contradicting itself?

What is the best way or best practise to access the session scoped component in servelt pipeline?

Hi Experts,
What is the best way or best practise to access the session scoped component in servelt pipeline?
Please share your thoughts.
Thanks,
ankV

To resolve components in the session scope you should be using DynamoHttpServletRequest.resolveName(). And of course the DynamoHttpServletRequest can also be used to resolve global and request scoped components so it is pretty handy to use. You can get the DynamoHttpServletRequest request associated with the current thread from ServletUtil.getCurrentRequest().
You can also reference a session scoped component from another session (or request) scoped component's property file. E.g. to access profile component (which is session scoped) from your custom session scoped component you would typically do this:
$class=com.company.MyCustomComponent
$scope=session
profile=/atg/userprofiling/Profile

Component reference in atg

Hi Guys
In atg why higher scope components should not refer to lower scope components
but is is possible vice versa
give me small example

Hi Guys

give me small exampleA global scope component should not point to request or session scope why because session scope component will be associated to particular session once the session is expired then session scope component is garbage and similarly request scope component will be for a particular request after that will be destroyed. On the other hand global scope components will be live untill the application is running so whenever any request/session components refer to it nucleus can easily provide.
hope it helps

Handlings Units in delivery (links???)

Hi Experts,
In my delivery, i have 2 Items :
1. The first item produced through a pp order and packed T-Code COWBPACK
2. The second item is packed in the delivery
In the table VEKP, we see for the 2 cases :
1. In VEKP-VPOBJKEY we see the Order number
2. In VEKP-VPOBJKEY we see the delivery number
First Question : What's the table to link delivery with handling unit in the first case.
SEcond question : There is any function module to determinate from the delivery all the handling units for each item.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
1. V_TVTY Check tcode VHAR, In packaging material types we assign HUM.
2. Packaging can be carried out at Order level and at delivery level in case of sales (it basically depends on the data you mainatin in "Maintain Goods movements for Handling Unit Stock posting" configured in IMG - LG -Handling unit Management")
Packing is an independent function within logistics. You can create handling units and assign material items at any point in the packing dialog by entering a packaging material. You can pack the handling units you created into other handling units, and so on, forming as many packing levels as you like (multi-level packing).
One or several materials, as well as several smaller packages, or any other combination could create a package. The Handling Unit Management function in SAP R/3 supports data capturing and management of all possible combinations. Packing could occur during the picking process, when the load carrier (pallet or box, for example) is identified and goods are then picked and packed into the box.
Packing could also be a separate process that is performed either after picking to consolidate the picked goods or after unloading of a truck when the goods are either not packed or packed in a different way than storage requires. Several requests with components of packing are merged into the packing request in this process.

Feature Request: RGB Histograms / Tone Curves

Hi team,
It would be really helpful to be able to view the RGB Histograms separately in addition to a composite (rather than the "compact" mode we have now).
It would also be really helpful to be able to adjust the Tone Curve applied to an individual RGB channel in Develop.
Finally, it would be most helpful to be able to see the RGB values as well as or instead of the RGB percentages when moving the cursor over an image area. This would be particularly helpful for fine-tuning skin tones.
Thanks, and keep up the great work.
We're delighted you're evolving Lightroom!
Cheers,
Matthew

Your post seems to assume that Lightroom is a tool for travel/landscape photography, and other types of photography (e.g., portrait/fashion) should be supported by a "specialized add-on module". I have to disagree with you on that point. Considering many of the examples on the Lightroom marketing are fashion shoots, I would think that they considers portrait/fashion photographers to be an important part of their target audience. They are not a fringe group of specialists.
I'm sure that portrait/fashion photographers would feel the same way about a Lightroom capability that primarily benefits the workflow of a travel/landscape photographer, i.e., when I do do some landscape work, I just edit in Photoshop. But you wouldn't agree to that, would you?
Skin tone measurement can be an incredibly easy tool to implement. It can be something as simple as showing the CMY values alongside the RGB values during a mouseover. Keep in mind, I'm talking about CMY not CMYK, so there should be no need to worry about what ICC profile to use. RGB to CMY is a straightforward transformation. It's embarassingly simple.
There are other ways Adobe can implement skin tone management that would be more powerful but a little more complicated. Those would be great too.
Anyway, thanks for the link to the Adobe feature request page! I will use it.
Regards,
Mike

Multiple Ibase/components with one change request / interfacing Lotus Notes

Scenario: Our users post all their software change requests (not only for SAP) into an application based on Lotus Notes. Professionals of the IT department evaluate the requests and make a offer for each of the change requests. The users may (or may not) accept the offer and place an order - all this in Lotus Notes, and not only for SAP.
If that order is confirmed and points to the SAP environment, Lotus Notes automatically must involve Solution Manager by calling a rfc-enabled function module in the Solution Manager system. This function module has to create a Solution Manager Change Request (simulating CRMD_ORDER transaction) together with its maintenance cycle, task list and transport request.
Problem: One of the problems is, that Lotus Notes change requests for SAP environment often require changes to multiple logical components, like R/3 plus BW plus CRM.
Question: The question is, how to create a Solution Manager Change Request for multiple components? This is caused by the restriction of the input screen of CRMD_ORDER which allows only one Ibase/component assignment.
Do you already have worked on this or any idea that might help? I would appreciate very much if you would share your expertise. Thank you.

Hi Heiner,
The work around that I use is in my maintenance project I have added all the logical components that I will have to work with.(R/3, ECC 6.0, BW etc..) This way, when I created the Maintenance cycle, my task list had all of these systems/clients in it.
The only hick is that in the CRMD_ORDER transaction, you only can put one ibase component.
The above mentioned solution works if you combine all your systems into one maintenance cycle.
let me know if this sheds any light for you.
