Saving and restoring JTable layout

Users can manipulate a JTable by resizing reordering columns.
I want to be able to save the layout of the table and restore it the next time a user runs the application.
I've gotten it to work for column sizing, but what do I interrogate to find out how a user has reordered the columns?

but what do I interrogate to find out how a user has reordered the columns?Look at the TableColumnModel to see the current order of the columns.

Saving and Restoring a class using Persistence Delegate

Hi, I have a class that does not comply to the java bean format and thus I have decided to use persistence delegates. All I want to do is be able to save an entire class so I can restore it later.
So this is what I did:
XMLEncoder xe = new XMLEncoder(
new BufferedOutputStream(
new FileOutputStream(filename)));
xe.setPersistenceDelegate(Workspace.class,
new PersistenceDelegate()
protected Expression instantiate(Object oldInstance, Encoder out)
return new Expression(oldInstance, oldInstance.getClass(),
"new", new Object[]
oldInstance,
oldInstance,
oldInstance,
oldInstance,
oldInstance,
oldInstance,
oldInstance,
oldInstance
xe.writeObject(workspace);
xe.close();
Where workspace takes in a BufferedImage, int, int, int, int, int, String and String.
The workspace class Vectors and an array of another class of mine.
When I run this code I get : java.lang.StackOverflowError
Can someone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks in advance,
Harley.

When you post code, please use [code] and [/code] tags as described in Formatting Help on the message entry page. It makes it much easier to read.

Saving and restoring sets of open applications and documents

Sometimes I have to restart when I have 20 to 30 Word and Excel files, websites, etc., open for work. It's time-consuming to go back and open them all up and get them positioned on various virtual desktops so I can get back to productive work, and every time I do it I swear there's got to be a utility that will save the state of these applications and their open documents for later restoration. Yet I've never been able to find an application to do this. Has anyone dealt with this issue successfully?
Thanks.

AFAIK, when you select Restart, you should get a dialog box for each unsaved, open document that allows you to save it, before the app will quit. If that's not working, then you should manually save the open documents and quit the app before you restart.

CAT6500 - VLAN DATABASE saving and restoring - question

If one wants to change the SUP720 module on a CAT6500, then how is the VLAN DATABASE trasnfered from original to new module. For startup config one can tftp the config from old module and then tftp back the same into new module. How about vlan database. Is there any way of copying vlan database from old module to a tftp server and then back into new module.

You can copy the vlan.dat using tftp from the const_nvram:. Under that location should should see a file vlan.dat. But as you are warned when you enter the vlan database, vlan.dat is being deprecated and it is recomended to add or delete vlan from the configuration mode. Vlan from the confguration mode is saved in the start-up configuration.
Router#dir const_nvram:
Directory of const_nvram:/
1 -rw- 616 vlan.dat
126956 bytes total (126340 bytes free)
Router#copy const_nvram:vlan.dat tftp
Address or name of remote host []? 10.1.1.1
Destination filename [vlan.dat]?

Saving and restoring list selections

I've got a list control in a popup window, supplied by a
dataProvider. The user makes selections, clicks OK, and the
selections are processed -- it all works fine.
However, since it's a popup window, when it's closed the
SELECTION is lost. When the window is opened again, the list has
nothing selected (as expected).
My question is, how do I save what items were selected, and
then show them as selected again when I re-display the list?
Thanks.

Thanks.
What if the data provider is NOT at the root, but in a
component?
In my root app, I have an MXML component referenced
(id="s1"). It's THAT component that's calling the popup and
contains the dataProvider.
How does the window refer to the component that called it?
I'm trying to leave this generic, rather than specific, so I can
use the same popup component several places in the app.
There are multiple components (s1, s2, s3 etc) that call this
window, and I keep the dataProviders in each of these components.
So the window needs to be able to "find" the _aSelectedItems
relating to the screen that "celled" it.
Thanks.

Saving and restoring boot drive data

Hi,
Sorry, I'm sure this topic has come up a million times, but I'd greatly appreciate advice on transferring all the files from my present start up drive (Macintosh HD icon) to an external drive so that I can replace the present 125GB drive with a 250 GB one (which will become the new boot drive, home to all my important system files, startup items, prefs etc. etc. I've replaced other drives in my G4, but never the 'brain' - so I'm a little scared!
I've heard about Carbon Copy Cloner - would that do the job? How does it work? (I need to retain dual-boot OS 9/X capability) I know it's a free download, and isn't it as good as Superduper, which is shareware for $$? Or what does the latter do better?
Of course, my main concern is getting all the files to transfer back to the new drive once it's installed. I've heard there are obscure files buried deeply in the roots of the system that are also vital to operation and if not there, would mess everything up - or at least perhaps cause unexpected disasters and horrible moments...maybe I'm exaggerating.
Anyway, thanks in advance for advice on a successful and fairly painless main-drive transplant!

Hello Again! Correct in just moving the data drive into the other computer just be sure when moving these disks around that the jumpers are set correctly. Just remember that there are only two drives on an ide/ata cable. If one is jumpered "cable select" they both must be jumpered that way. If one is "master" and on the end of the cable then the other one must be jumpered "slave". The purpose in zeroing the new drive is because often times they do in fact have some bad blocks and if critical system info were to be written to those blocks it could crash the system. I recently installed a new drive and it had two bad blocks. Once you clone the drive go to the system prefs and open the startup disk pane and select the drive you want to startup from and then restart. Kappy means to start in safe mode is to startup holding the shift key down.
A couple of things to do before starting all this. One repair permissions in disk utility and second startup from another drive (if you already have a bootable system on another disk or from the install disc if you do not) and repair the main drive to be sure the directory is in good shape before you clone it. I personally use DiskWarrior for this but the disk utility will repair common problems.
In step five he means select the destination drive (the new drive) that you are cloning to and drag it to the destination field and then select the source drive (the startup bootdisk) and drag it to the source field.
I'd also unhook the external firewire if you are not cloning to it at this time. Before you physically remove the boot drive be sure the clone is working correctly and I wouldn't erase it until I was satisfied the clone was working correctly after a few days of use.
Once you are satisfied with everything you can remove the original drive and put a bigger one in its place.
The most important thing is to be sure you understand the jumper settings because if you get them wrong you may not be able to erase the drive to start with and the clone may not work correctly.
The earlier G4's often won't work with the drives set to cable select and you have to resort to the master and slave settings but if the drive on the particular ide/ata cable is using the cable select setting use the cable select setting for the other drive going on that cable.
On a last note if you need larger drives in a 128 gig max computer consider a SATA pci card. I have a couple of Sonnet 2 port SATA cards that are bootable (not all are bootable) in my 128 gig limited G4. In fact I have 2 of the Sonnet cards in my G4 running four 320 gig drives!
Once you've done this it becomes much easier. Just be sure to have time to think out what you are doing and allow time to complete the job at your pace and don't erase anything until you are sure of how everything is working. Tom

Save and Restore Color State

Hi,
I'm having troubles saving and restoring the color state with jogl
This would be an example:
gl.glPushAttrib(GL.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
gl.glLineWidth(ParCoordsRenderStyle.Y_AXIS_LINE_WIDTH);
gl.glColor4f(0.8f, 0.8f, 0.8f, 0.5f);
gl.glBegin(GL.GL_POLYGON);
gl.glVertex3f(fXTextOrigin, fYTextOrigin, 0.002f);
gl.glVertex3f(fXTextOrigin + fBackPlaneWidth, fYTextOrigin, 0.002f);
gl.glVertex3f(fXTextOrigin + fBackPlaneWidth, fYTextOrigin + fBackPlaneHeight, 0.002f);
gl.glVertex3f(fXTextOrigin, fYTextOrigin + fBackPlaneHeight, 0.002f);
gl.glEnd();
gl.glPopAttrib();After that the color before the push is not restored. I might get something wrong here, since I'm not the most experienced opengl programmer. I've tried Jogl 1.0 and the latest RC - same issue.
I'd appreciaty any help!

is it imposible?

Backpac: A package state snapshot and restore tool for Arch Linux

backpac:
A package state snapshot and restore tool for Arch Linux with config file save/restore support.
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=52957
https://github.com/altercation/backpac (see readme on the github repository for more information)
Summary & Features
It's a common method of setting up a single system: take some notes about what packages you've installed, what files you've modified.
Backpac creates those notes for you and helps back up important configuration files. Specifically, backpac does the following:
maintains a list of installed groups (based on 80% of group packages being installed)
maintains a list of packages (including official and aur packages, listed separately)
maintains a list of files (manually created)
backs up key config files as detailed in the files list you create
The package, group and files lists along with the snapshot config files allows system state to be easily committed to version control such as git.
Backpac can also use these lists to install packages and files. Essentially, then, backpac takes a snapshot of your system and can recreate that state from the files and lists it archives.
Use Cases
Ongoing system state backup to github
Quick install of new system from existing backpac config
Conform current system to given state in backpac config
Backpac is a very, very lightweight way of saving and restoring system state.
It's not intended for rolling out and maintaining multiple similar systems, it's designed to assist individual users in the maintainance of their own Arch Linux box.
Status
Alpha, release for testing among those interested. Passing all tests right now but will continue to rework and refine. Bug reports needed.
Why?
There are a lot of 'big-iron' solutions to maintaining, backing up and restoring system state. Setting these up for a single system or a handful of personal systems has always seemed like overkill.
There are also some existing pacman list making utilities around, but most of them seem to list either all packages or don't separate the official and aur packages the way I wanted. Some detect group install state, some don't. I wanted all these features in backpac.
Finally, whatever tool I use, I'd like it to be simple (c.f. the Arch Way). Lists that are produced should be human readable, human maintainable and not different from what I'm using in non-automated form. Backpac fulfills these requirements.
Regarding files, I wanted to be able to backup arbitrary system files to a git repository. Tools like etckeeper are interesting but non /etc files in that case aren't backed up (without some link trickery) and there isn't any automatic integration with pacman, so there is no current advantage to using a tool like that. I also like making an explicit list of files to snapshot.
Sample Output
This is the command line report. Additionally, backpac saves this information to the backpac groups, packages and files lists and the files snapshot directory.
$ backpac -Qf

firecat53 wrote:I think your plan for handling an AUR_HELPER is good. If AUR_HELPER is defined by the user, then either you might need a list of major AUR helpers and their command line switches so you can pick the correct switch for what needs to be done (most use some variation of -S for installing, but not all), or have the user define the correct switch(es) somehow for their chosen AUR helper.
That's a good idea. I'll add that to my AUR refactoring todo.
I also found directory tracking to be a weakness in other dotfile managers that I tried. I think you would definitely have to recursively list out the contents of a tracked directory and deal with each file individually. Wildcard support would be nice...I just haven't personally found a use case for it yet.
I've been thinking that I could just add the directory and scan through it for any non-default attribute files. If those are found then they get automatically added to the files list. That's pretty close to what etckeeper does.
Edit: I just compiled the dev version and removed my comments for already fixed things...sorry!
The master branch should have those fixes as well, but I didn't update the version number in the package build. I'll have to do that.
1. Still apparently didn't handle the escaped space for this item: (the file does exist on my system)
Ok, good to know. This wildcard directory business will require some new code and refactoring so I'll also rework my filenames handling.
2. Suggestion: you should make that awesome README into a man page!
I was working on one (the pkgbuild has a commented out line for the man page) but I had to leave it for later. Definitely want a man page. Once this stabilizes and I'm sure there aren't any big structural changes, I'll convert it to man format.
3. Suggestion: add the word 'dotfile' into your description somewhere on this page, the github page, and in the package description so people looking for dotfile managers will find it. You could also consider modularizing the script into a dotfile manager and the package manager, so people on other distros could take advantage of your dotfile management scheme.
I actually have a different script for dotfile management that doesn't touch packages, but there is definitely overlap with this one. That script isn't released yet, though, and if people find this useful for dotfile management that's great. I'll add that in.
4. Suggestion: since -Q is a read-only operation, why not just make it run with -f automatically to avoid the prompt?
Originally, running backpac without any command line options produced the Query output. I was concerned that since it is a utility that can potentially overwrite system files, it is important to give users a clear statement prior to execution about what will be done. Since the Query output is essentially the same as the Update and System reports in format and content, I wanted to be explicit about the Query being a passive no-change operation. The current command line options aren't set in stone though. If you feel strongly about it being different, let me know.
Long answer to a short question
5. Another suggestion: any thought to providing some sort of 'scrub' function to remove private information from the stored files if desired? This would be cool for publishing public dotfiles to github. Perhaps a credentials file (I did this with python for my own configs). Probably detecting email addresses and passwords without a scrub file would be rather difficult because dotfiles come in so many flavors.
Yes, absolutely. In fact, if you look at the lib/local file (pretty sure it's in both master and dev branches in this state) you'll see some references to a sanitize function. The idea there is that the user will list out bash associative arrays like this:
SANITIZE_WPA_=(
[FILE]='/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf'
[CMD]='sed s/expungepattern/sanitizedoutput/g'
Question: am I missing an obvious option to remove a file from the files.d directory if I delete it from the files list? Or do I have to delete it manually? It might be helpful to add a section to the README on how to update and delete dotfiles from being tracked, and also a more detailed description of what the -b option does (and what is actually created when it's not used).
You are only missing the function I didn't finish. There should be either dummy code or a TODO in the backpac main script referencing garbage collection, which isn't difficult but I just haven't finished it. The idea being another loop of "hey I found these old files in your files.d, mind if I delete them?" It's on my list and I'll try to get it in asap.
And finally, just out of curiosity, why did you choose to actually copy the files instead of symlink like so many other dotfile managers do?
git not following symlinks, hardlinks also out for permissions issues (git wouldn't be able to read the files, change them, etc.)
I definitely would prefer to not make an entire copy of the file, but I haven't come up with a better option. Shout with ideas, though. Also, if there is a way around the link issues I noted above, let me know. I don't see one but that doesn't mean it's not there.
edit: I think a Seattle area Arch meetup would be cool! Perhaps coffee someplace? Bellevue? U-district? Anyone else? BYOPOL (bring your own pimped out laptop)
A general meetup sounds good. I was also thinking it would be fun to do a mini archcon with some demos.

My FCP 10.1 is freezing at "Restore window layout" I am running on mavericks and the layout folder in not in library/applications support/ final cut pro... What do I do ???

Had the same issues. For me, I found unmounting any external drives and relaunching FCPX worked.
Mavericks seems to have some issues with launching Final Cut, so its best to launch and then plug in any external drives - hope that helps.

I have an iPhone 4s iOs 5.1.1, I want to update it to iOs 7, if I've backed up to iCloud will my contacts, pictures and text messages be saved and able to be restored if lost?

I have an iPhone 4s iOs 5.1.1,( I know I need an update!) I want to update it to iOs 7, if I've backed up to iCloud will my contacts, pictures and text messages be saved and able to be restored if lost? I recently backed up to the iCloud as recently as this morning at 2AM.

OCD with good reason
With a second backup, as you now have, you are well protected. The update makes a backup to use for restoring after the install but with another you should be in great shape.
Just take you time and be patient, these can take a while to complete depending on server load, connection speed, etc.

my computer crashed saved the music in my music can ijust plug the ipod in and restor itunes

"has a back up of my music been created as i purchased them through itunes yet not plugged my ipone into my computer since purchasing the music?"
No. You would have to plug it in and transfer the purchases.
" all my music was on my old phone and not in my itunes library."
Why? This should never be the case. EVERYTHING on your iphone should always be on your computer and included in your regular backup of your computer.
You buy one and only one download. It is your responsibility to copy/move/backup your music.
You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

How do I transfer information from iphone 4s to iphone 3g or is this possible? I dropped my iphone 4s in water yesterday. I had saved my old 3g.Synced 3g to itunes and restored from back up.I have no pictures or texts from my 4s.Why didn't they transfer

I dropped my iphone 4s in water yesterday. Got out my old 3g to use temporarily. I synced it to itunes and restored from backup. However, none of my pictures or text messages transferred to the 3g. Did I do something wrong? Why won't those transfer? I had just synced my 4s over the weekend. Everything I have read says to just hit restore and it should have restored to what was on my 4s. Can someone please tell me if I've lost those things forever?
Thank you.

I'd review these articles

If you got a replacement iPhone 4s or iPhone 5 you could restore the backup of the damaged 4s device to either device.

BPC backup and restore Q&A...

Dear all:
See below, and please share your knowledge!
Situation
We are in the phase of modifying existing structure. We would like to back up what's in the Production server, and restore onto Development Box and develop and test our modification there using the latest data we have.
Data
We have a production server, which SQL service and BPC service are running on separate physical server (as I was told), and a development box, which SQL and BPC are running together in one box.
A_PRODUCTION is the App Set in the Production Server
A_DEV is the App Set in the Development Box.
Below are what I have done and failed:
1.
a. I used "Server Manager" to back up A_PRODUCTION.
b. I then copied and pasted the backup folder (in which has Web, File, SQL etc sub folders) to the Development Box.
c. I used "Server Manager" to restore by selecting the backup folder. The Server Manager was able to allocate all the backup files and SQL db.
d. My Web and File folders are OKed during restore, but my SQL restore failed with an error message.
2.
a. We tried to open SQL Server Management Studio, and manually restore the A_PRODUCTION SQL backup (*.BAK) to A_DEV of Development box.
b. We received the error message, System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: RESTORE detected an error on page (0:0) in database "A_PRODUCTION" as read from the backup set. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo).
c. We went to option and checked "Overwrite existing database" and still failed to restore.
3.
a. I logged on to Development Box's BPC Web Admin, and tried to create an App Set that has the same name A_PRODUCTION as my live database in the Production Server.
b. The App Set creation failed at OLAP service with an error message saying something about "SalesPerson" column was not found or something.
c. I noticed that a database named A_PRODUCTION is created Development Box.
d. I tried method 1 and 2 again to A_PRODUCTION of the Development Box and failed.
Question
What is wrong with my approach?
I have referenced the document https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/20a26f50-4252-2a10-8c97-a2c7058cd804, and am confused why we have to backup the master database.
Secondly, in the document, quoted "Restore Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Database(s): Restore the most recent database backup for APPSERVER, and each of the application set databases.
(ApShell/ApShellExtra)", what is the difference between "the most recent database backup for APPSERVER", and "each of the application set databases"?
At last, in the document, quoted "You must use an u2018Open File Agentu2019 to backup Data files that may be in use by the web server.", what does it mean by using an Open File Agent? Is it a type of agent in SQL backup service, or an agent in general that is able to back up open files?
Thank you!

Kranthi and Akim:
Thanks for the reply...
Kranthi: With BPC Admin ID, I did go back to *BPC Administration\Manage Security* and re-saved the configuration, and I did see the table update in *Database Engine\AppServer\tblAppSetAccess*. I could then grant my Windows ID rights to "everything", but was only able to access BPC Administration.
Akim: Can you be more specific about delete/recreate orphaned users? Did you mean deleting/creating via SQL Analysis Services AppServer\tblAppSetAccess, or via BPC Administration\Manage Security? In addition, when you mentioned "reset permissions from the application itself", did you mean to modify Task, Member Access Profile, Team, and User, and re-save them again with the same settings?
I am sorry that this thread has become longer than expected. Here are some updates:
1. I have two Application Sets which my Windows ID can access: AppShell (default) and App_Dev
2. I tried to create a new Application Set "App_Dev1" by copying from App_Dev (unchecked database,biz process flows, content library, and live reports). Then I logged in as BPC Admin and added my Windows ID to the System Admin Team, which was modified to have full access to everything. Again the same problem occured -- I could access App_Dev1's BPC Administration area but could not access BPC Excel; same error messages popped out.
3. I tried to create a new Application Set "AppShell1" by copying from AppShell (same unchecked everything). Then I logged in as BPC Admin and added my Windows ID to the System Admin Team, which was modified to be able to access everything. Same result as #2
4. I tried to add myself to the System Admin Team of original AppShell, and I could open BPC Excel.
My experiments so far concluded the followings:
--No problem with App_Dev and AppShell in the Development Box
--I could grant myself access to everything in any new Application Set, but only was able to access BPC Administration
--BPC Admin ID and my Network Administrator (Domain Admin)'s Windows ID has no problem opening BPC Excel in any Application Set.
What concerns me now is that even a copy from AppShell is not working as expected... My Network Administrator said it is not an easy process to reinstall BPC Development Server, but I think that's perhaps the only way to fix everything, if the root causes remain mysterious.
If you have any insightful tip, please share with me as I have spent over a week and cannot progress further... Thank you!!!!

Major problem saving and printing documents on two computers

This is a bizarre problem that seems to have been transferred from my old MDD to my new Mini when I migrated all my old data and it has me baffled. My apologies if this explanation seems long and complicated but I want to be pretty thorough.
About a month ago I started experiencing a problem with printing. I noticed when printing a sheet of business cards that the page was getting compressed, for lack of a better word, vertically. This was very noticeable because the trim marks on the side of the page were not lining up with the perforations and each row of cards was getting progressively closer to the top as each row was printed. In other words, the first row of cards was okay but then the next row was a little too far "north", the next row a little more, the next row a little more, etc. The bottom of the page was not cut off, it was just squeezed up a bit but not enough that you could tell that the proportions were off. Now I see that many of my documents are like that no matter what application I've use to create them – Pages, Illustrator, Avery DesignPro. What's even worse, I've used Pages to create a sheet of business cards for a friend and Illustrator to make packaging labels and she's having the same problem printing the PDFs of the labels on a different computer. What this seems to tell me is that something has been corrupted and the computer is saving messed up files.
So, about ten days ago I got a Mini and migrated my data using Migration Assistant. And the problem has now been transferred to the Mini. So I now have two Macs connected to two different HP printers that are both incapable of printing (and apparently saving) documents in the proper proportions.
Now, a truly weird thing is that I printed a test sheet of business cards from the Mini on the printer connected to the MDD (via printer sharing) and it appeared that the document printed at the correct length. However, another document, a sheet of labels created in Illustrator, printed at the right length but one edge was slightly cropped off. Grrr.
Anyway, as I said, until about a month ago everything worked fine so something got messed up at that time to cause this problem with saving and printing documents. I need to get this resolved for business reasons – I'm an aspiring designer – but the only thing I can think of doing is wiping out my Mini and reloading everything except my account settings from Time Machine unless someone has advice on what to do. Help! (And yes, I've checked to see that page scaling was always set at 100%.)

Well, I've just about had it. I erased the disk, reinstalled the OS, Adobe CS4, and iWork. I did not use Migration Assistant this time to restore my settings but still my Mac prints documents in the wrong dimensions. Could this be a sudden HP problem? It seems to me some system setting somewhere is making my computer save and print documents in the wrong size. I now have a computer that is almost useless for designing. Lucky me.
