Searching for tutorials/examples

Hello,
are there any tutorials/examples for
toplink + Jdeveloper (10.1.3) + swing/adf clients?
(no web-, no ejb-apps)
Greetings.

There are several Oracle By Example (OBE) tutorials and demos available at: http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe9051jdev/index.htm and http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/index.html.
Specifically, there is: http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe9051jdev/ToplinktoDatabinding/toplinktodatabinding.htm that explains how to Developing a J2EE Application using TopLink, Struts, JSP and ADF Databinding.

  • Searching for working example of Skin & Hair color detection via Face Model

    Hi all,
    Could anyone point me to a working example (preferably with source code available) which uses the get_SkinColor or get_HairColor functions from the HDFace functionality?
    I've been calling these functions after building a facemodel and they seem to be returning a successful HResult while at the same time changing the UINT32 passed by reference to zero, regardless of the hair color presented to the Kinect. Is there a project
    which shows the correct use of these functions publicly available?
    Thanks!

    hi, when i search for an artist like for example Paul weller, I get an error and then i tunes closes.  whats happening??

    Sorry, but it doesn't help JTANNA.
    What is your definition of "more efficiently"? If it's limitation of search results, branded search, and limitation of styling your results then google search is more efficient. Real developers rely on their own developments. For example: how can google search display results from a password-protected site? They can't.

  • How to search for Premiere Pro Help, tutorials, and so on

    Use a custom-made search engine when searching  for Premiere Pro information.
    I'm always accepting input for how to make the custom search better.

    Maybe this thread (or similar) should be a "sticky" ?
    PS! I haven't looked "all over the place" so maybe it is in some kind of way??, at least I hope so...

  • Improving Search for Keywords in NI Example Finder

    Search for Keywords is presently limited to logical "OR" search. It would highly profit from logical "AND" Search.

    Thinking out of the box here...
    It's possible to search just the bookmarks with a script. The problem is how to show the result, since it's not possible to highlight the found bookmarks.
    One option I can think of is to change the color of the matches to a different color, like red. Unfortunately, this doesn't work in Reader...
    The only other option that might work in Reader is to tell the user where to look, ie which position in the tree (and what items are before and after it).

  • Jabber - Search for phone Numbers (extensions)

    Hi there,
    as on the old Cisco Personal Communicator there was a possibillity to search for extension numbers on the search field. If I enter an extension number on the Jabber Client on Windows, there is no Name and Picture shown from this employee. For example, if you type in 1234 in the field it just says "call 1234" but I want so find the employee which extension is 1234.
    On the jabber-config.xml I already tryed the UDS and EDI method.
    So I'm just asking if there is a general problem with this function or if this is just an configuration issue. If it would help, I'll post the jabber-config.xml.
    Thanks for a reply.
    regards
    Marc

    Hi Marc,
    Currently this is not supported. It is tententively planned for 9.4 which has no current release date.
    Thanks,

  • Can I search for pdf and word documents at the same time in finder?

    I often want to search for more than one file type at a time - for instance pdfs and word docs in a directory, or Jpgs, GIFs, PNGs etc.
    Can I do this in the finder in one go (so I can save it as a folder I can then select when I want to)?
    I tried typing OR between the 'tokens' it creates, but then it just searches for OR - so not as intelligent as one would think?!
    Surely there must be a way to do something as simple as this?
    regards
    Rob

    Forget the whole "tokens" business (I think that is a pretty useless "improvement" to constructing Spotlight searches). Hit command-F to bring up the search window, and set your first criteria, in the example I changed it from the default Kind to Created Date, to keep the number of results manageable. Now hold down the Option key and click on the "+" at the end of the criteria line, it will change to "..." and you get a new criteria line. From the dropdown menu choose "Any" if necessary (this will give you the Boolean OR), then enter what you want in the first sub-head. To get a second sub-head OR criteria click the "+" at the end of the Any line.
    I don't generate many MS Word docs, so I just stopped in the example above after typing Microsoft, since that brought up all the MS anything I have from this year (a couple of Power Point thingies sent to me by friends).

  • Short dump "Time limit exceeded" when searching for Business Transactions

    Hello Experts,
    We migrated from SAP CRM 5.2 to SAP CRM 7.0. After migration, our business transaction search (quotation, sales order, service order, contract etc) ends with the short dump "Time limit exceeded" in class CL_CRM_REPORT_ACC_DYNAMIC, method DATABASE_ACCESS. The select query is triggered from line 5 of this method.
    Number of Records:
    CRMD_ORDERADM_H: 5,115,675
    CRMD_ORDER_INDEX: 74,615,914
    We have done these so far, but the performance is still either poor or times out.
    1. DB team checked the ORACLE parameters and confirmed they are fine. They also checked the health of indices in table CRMD_ORDER_INDEX and indices are healthy
    2. Created additional indices on CRMD_ORDERADM_H and CRMD_ORDER_INDEX. After the creation of indices, some of the searches(without any criteria) work. But it takes more than a minute to fetch 1 or 2 records
    3. An ST05 trace confirmed that the selection on CRMD_ORDER_INDEX takes the most time. It takes about 103 seconds to fetch 2 records (max hits + 1)
    4. If we specify search parameters, say for example a date or status, then again we get a short dump with the message "Time limit exceeded".
    5. Observed that only if a matching index is available for the WHERE clause, the results are returned (albeit slowly). In the absence of an index, we get the dump.
    6. Searched for notes and there are no notes that could help us.
    Any idea what is causing this issue and what we can do to resolve this?
    Regards,
    Bala

    Hi Michael,
    Thanks. Yes we considered the note 1527039. None of the three scenarios mentioned in the note helped us. But we ran CRM_INDEX_REBUILD to check if the table CRMD_ORDER_INDEX had a problem. That did not help us either.
    The business users told us that they mostly search using the date fields or Object ID. We did not have any problem with search by Object ID. So we created additional indices to support search using the date fields.
    Regards,
    Bala

  • Sharepoint 2013 - Search for link names on a single page

    Hi
    I am messing around with SP13 and trying to get my search result web part to only search for link names and display all results.
    I have created the search source to point at the sub site. If I search for part of a link name it will list all links in one long row as a single result.
    Example: One single page contains all links. Each link points to a .aspx page. The search source is pointing at this page and it can display results but only as a single result containing all links as one line of text.
    Say I have 1000+ links of which 50 has names such as Link1-Item1-Basket1, Link1-Item1-Basket2 up to Link1-Item1-Basket50.
    When I search for Link1-Item1 I would like my search results to display 50 results as 50 individual links.
    Is this possible?

    Hi,
    Yes, you can format the search results as you expected.  But you have to create a custom display template to format your results such as extract the links from each results and display it as separate link.
    Once display template created you have to map the display template to your search results web part.
    Please refer to the following articles.
    SharePoint 2013 Customize Display Template for Content By Search Web
    Part (CSWP) Part-1
    Introduction to SharePoint 2013 Display Templates

    Please mark it answered, if your problem resolved.

  • How can I use SQL to search for a pattern within a field?

    Hello, Frank, Solomon, ect
    I am now faced with this particular scenario, I've got the SQL to search through a field to find text within the field, but I have to know what it is before it can look for it.
    What I have to do is this:
    Search through a field, for a pattern, and I won't know what the data is I am looking for. Can this be done in SQL?
    For instance, Here is my SQL this far, I was helped allot in order to get to this point.
    select table_name,
           column_name,
           :search_string search_string,
           result
      from (select column_name,
                   table_name,
                   'ora:view("' || table_name || '")/ROW/' || column_name || '[ora:contains(text(),"%' || :search_string || '%") > 0]' str
              from cols
             where table_name in ('TABLE1', 'TABLE2')),
           xmltable (str columns result varchar2(10) path '.')
    When you execute the above SQL, you have to pass in a value. What I really need is to alter the above SQL, to make it search for a pattern that exist's within the text of the field itself.
    Like for instance, lets say the pattern I am looking for is this" xx-xxxxx-xxxx" and it's somewhere in a field.
    I need to alter this SQL to take this pattern and search through all the schemas and tables to look for this pattern match.
    Can be done?

    When you use something dynamically within a function or procedure, roles do not apply and privileges must be granted directly.  So, you need to grant select on dba_tab_cols directly.  If you want to do pattern matching then you should use regular expressions.  The following example grants the proper privileges and uses regexp_instr to find all values containing the pattern xxx-xxxx-xxxx, where /S is used for any non-space character.  I limited the tables in order to save time and output for the test, but you can eliminate that where clause.
    SYS@orcl> CREATE USER test IDENTIFIED BY test

    SYS@orcl> ALTER USER test QUOTA UNLIMITED ON USERS

  • Searching for a particular Calendar in iCal

    How can I run a search for all the events in a particular calendar. I want to be able to see them all in one place. One example for when I need it is to see if one particular calendar has any entries in it.

    Hi Gon Paran,
    Uncheck all your calendars on the left in iCal, then check the one you are interested in. To uncheck all calendars at once Cmd-Click one calendar's checkbox. Then to show all the events in that calendar, do a search for a single quote ( i.e. " ), this should show all the events in the visible calendar in a list.
    Best wishes

  • Searching for a single keyword in lightroom 5

    Hi there,
    I am a newbie to lightroom 5 and I am slowly learning the power of keywords.
    My question is,
    I have 1000's of images of my daughter in my catalog I have key worded all of them. There are some images with her on her own or with me, the mum, nan, granddad etc etc. I have also key worded the photos with, for example me. So on an image the key word is annie, nick. When I go to the 'text' search in the library list I type in annie and every single image of her comes up be it with me the nan, the mum etc. My daughter has hundreds of image with different family members. How do I just get the search to pick "annie" as the keyword and not the rest of the keywords in the catalog.
    For example,
    I know I can do a search like this, annie, !nick, !mum, !granddad etc etc, but this is so time consuming. Is there a character that can tell lightroom that you only want the image of annie with no one else or nothing else.
    I am aware you can select all of the singular images of my daughter and create a collection with just her but this is also time consuming.
    Another way this would be annoying is if you had images of trees for example, some trees might be taken by a water fall, mountain, road, picnic table or just one on its own. you might have hundreds of tree image on there own and hundreds of images of trees with a feature. If you try and search for just a tree or trees with nothing else in the image your search result is going to bring up every single image with a tree in it. Not just the images of a tree.
    Hope this makes some sort of sense. I have searched all over the internet and there doesn't seem to be an option for this. Or maybe I am missing something. If I'm not missing something and this just isn't possible maybe lightroom designers could look at implementing this search criteria in future updates.
    Regards,
    Nick.

    I have tried that and i think i am more confused. Its going to take me a while to learn this stuff. I have done the ! option and have narrowed it down to the images I want and have created a collection with just the images I wanted. I think I am going to have to think ahead with the keywording in the future. I will get there, its all trial and error at the moment.
    Its only a problem at the moment as I have an external hard drive so I have just added 'ADD" all images (over 4000) to lightroom from there as I want to save all future photos I do on the external hard drive. I am reluctant to fill my new IMAC with loads of images and take up loads of space. With photos I do in the future I will be saving on the imac probably and backing up on my external hard drive. The 4000 images are from the last year or so before I got this MAC.
    When I do future photo shoots etc it will be easier to move the images to the correct folders as I will be working on a lot less images. So I believe in the future it will be more managable. Trying to key word 1000's of images at the same time has confused me a bit.
    Cheers for you inputs peeps, appreciate it.

  • How can I search for a substring of a email address or a subject

    ... without getting hits on other fields or content.
    Mail 5.0 seems to have removed the ability to restrict your seach to particular fields.  What you get instead is the ability to select 'people' which should be called 'addresses' or 'subjects'.   There seems to be an assumption that the desired end point of a search is a single message.  But I regularly (several times a week) need to search for messages with certain characteristic and then move, copy or delete them. 
    This makes mail completely unusable for me.  Searching has always been a weak point in mail now it is *much* worse.  Any before you ask yes I have submitted feedback to Apple (I have bitched about the searching in every release since OSX released).   What I have suggested is that they have an "enable advanced search" in the preferences > advanced menu.
    I can see where Apple is coming from but turning MacOS into a *purely* comsumer product aimed at the masses is not the way to go.  They don't need to abandon the professional market in order to get the masses.  Those of us who need advanced functionality are perfectly capable of digging into preference to enable it if we are given the ability.
    I wholely support having a simple system that, out of the box, can be operated intuitively by anyone but that is not incompatible with allowing more sophisticated functionality which might confuse less exprienced users from being activated via preferences.
    What I really want is much more complex searching that allow me to find (for example) all emails to a particular domain that mention 'xxxx' in the subject.
    If this trend continues I can see me installing linux on my new MacBook pro for work stuff.

    You can make some relatively advanced searches through Spotlight and in turn, the Mailbox search field in the Mail toolbar.
    Try this for your example, type the following into the search bar in Mail:
    To:domain.com then hit return. This will give you a search token on the To field.
    Type subject:xxxx and hit return, this will give you a search token on the subject field
