Secure mysql and ease of programming

Hello,
How/what do I set up so that I do not have to include in all my jsp files the connection information to my mysql database for my application? It is tedious to have to set up the try...catch..finally stuff everytime I want to have a query in my jsp files. I am using mysql and jakarta-tomcat-4.0.4.
David

Why don't you write a Database class, then when you want to access the database you can just create an instance of this class and call a method that does the connection, the trys & catches etc.
eg you could have a method with signature
public ResultSet exQuery(String query) etc etc.
Much better practice to only have one class that accesses the database - esp if you want to change drivers, connection methods etc in the future.

MySQL and Java - getting program to work

I am setting up mysql to run sql from a Java program on my pc at home and probably biting off more than I can chew. I get these messages when executing the java program ExecuteSQL.java:

This is what I did.
I created a folder on my C: drive named MySQL.
I downloaded these two zip files form the MySQL website
     * mysql-connector-java-3.0.11-stable
     * mysql-4.0.18-win.zip
Installed both of these in folder MySQL.
I modified this line in the program ("ExecuteSQL" 1st pgm in chapter 17) I got from "Java Examples In a Nutshell" and compiled it into directory jwork.
String driver = "com.mysql.jdbc.driver", url = "jdbc:mysql://", user = "", password = "";
The readme file talks about putting a jar file in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext.
the word "Java_Home" (I now know) is not literally the name but represents the
name of the folder where the JDK to be used exists. So I put a copy of
mysql-connector-java-3.0.11-stable-bin.jar in folder C:\JDK14/jre/lib/ext.
Then I get a ClassNotFoundException error com.mysql.jdbc.driver.
After finding
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=31&thread=439796
and
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=31&thread=499888
and others, I copied (a second copy) the jar file to the directory where I am create my java objects.
Then I unzipped it to that directory, creating three folders that hold the unzipped objects.
I tried executing the program again. I get the messages at the top of this post.
The Manifest file is in one of the three folders unzipped to my java work directory.
In the second of the two above threads, jsalonen says:
the problem can be solved by mentioning mysql.jar in the Class-Path attribute
in the manifest of the jar file:
In this "manifest" file, there are only three lines and I added a fourth and it looks like this
(there are two, one in directory MySQL\META-INF and one in directory jwork\META-INF:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.6.1
Created-By: 1.4.0_01-b03 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Main-Class:jwork\ExecuteSQL
How do I "mention" mysql.jar in the class path attribute?
In the index.list file (in the directory with the manifest file, do I need to add anything to refer that "com.mysql.jdbc.driver" is the driver?
Do I need index.list in MySQL\META-INF ?

Don't put those JARs in the lib/ext directory. Only language extensions (e.g., packages that start with "javax") belong in there.
Learn how to set the CLASSPATH properly for starters:

You might want to look at the JDBC tutorial, too:

After the latest Security Update 2012-001 (Mac OS X 10.6.8) my Adobe Photoshop CS 8, Dreamweaver 8, and InDesign CS programs crash when I try to save a file.

After the latest Security Update 2012-001 (Mac OS X 10.6.8) my Adobe Photoshop CS 8, Dreamweaver 8, and InDesign CS programs crash when I try to save a file. HELP!!!

Howdy,
Apparently some are reporting that this causes the older PowerPC (PPC) applications that are supported in 10.6 via 'Rosetta' to crash upon attempting to open/save/print using any dialog box, or fail in other similar ways such as simply not printing or quitting, or freezing/hanging/crashing of the application.
I have read of some companies that have indeed submitted proper bug reports to Apple, but that is not a guarantee of a bug-fix being issued.
You might wish to read:
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/snowleopard/index.html#d02feb2012
If you are unsure if you are still using PowerPC apps, if the application is currently running, look under the 'Activity Monitior' (in Applications -> Utilities), or alternatively you could check in the System Profiler, Applications. Check the column "Type".
Here is a fairly simple way you can restore you system and restore you applications functionality again, if you don't have a recent clone or good Time Machine backup that you can restore from. If you do, restore from your backup prior to having installed the Security Update 2012-001.
Time Machine restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
If you are restoring a backup made by a Mac to the same Mac
With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Lion recovery partition (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility. Select the backup prior to your issues, and it will be restored back to the state it was in at that time.
If you can't easily restore from a backup, you can instead do the following:
- You first start by reinstalling your OS X 10.6.x, this will preserve all your user data, your applications, no worries there.
- Then install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 (links provided below)
- Make sure you're printers are showing up correctly in your system preferences, if not, re-add the printers
- Then finally, run the Apple Software Update (by pulling down the Apple Menu), and install any and all remaining updates, except do not then re-install the Security Update 2012-001. It is possible that you may have to reboot after installing some of the updates, and you may even need to run it a 2nd time to make sure that you've got all updates, except NOT the Security Update 2012-001.

How can I sync security between Plannig, HSS and EAS?

Hi,
I think that I've trouble with security. Many answers at this forum contain that I need to sync security between Plannig, HSS and EAS?
How can I do it on EPM11.1.1.3?

Hi,
If you feel that Shared Services is not in sync with Planning then you can use the [provisonusers |http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/hp_admin/ch03s13.html] utility.
If you want to sync essbase with Shared Services you can either right click security in EAS and refresh from HSS or use Maxl.

Apple has made several well-publicised statements regarding their commitment to privacy and the security of their various iCloud services. If they were to fall short of a goal they stated so prominently for so long, it would have a material effect on the company's value, not to mention being extremely embarrassing. I think they're pretty serious about it.
Like anything else though, iCloud is as secure as the passwords you use. To change your iCloud password read iCloud: Change your iCloud account password.

Performance with MySQL and Database connectivity toolbox

Hi!
I'm having quite some problems with the performance of MySQL and Database connectivity toolbox. However, I'm very happy with the ease of using database connectivity toolbox. The background is:
I have 61 variables (ints and floats) which I would like to save in the MySQL-database. This is no problem, however, the loop time increases from 8ms to 50ms when using the database. I have concluded that it has to do with the DB Tools Insert Data.vi and I think that I have some kind of performance issue with this VI. The CPU never reach more the 15% of its maximum performance. I use a default setup and connect through ODBC.
My questions are:
1. I would like to save 61 variables each 8-10ms, is this impossible using this solution?
2. Is there any way of increasing the performance of the DB Tools Insert Data.vi or use any other VI?
3. Is there any way of adjusting the MySQL setup to achieve better performance?
Thank you very much for your time.
Regards,
Mattias

First of all, thank you very much for your time. All of you have been really good support to me.
>> Is your database on a different computer? Does your loop execute 61 times?
Database is on the same computer as the MySQL server.
The loop saves 61 values at once to the database, in one SQL-statement.
I have now added the front panel and block diagram for my test-VI. I have implemented the queue system and separate loops for producer and consumer. However, since the queue is building up faster then the consumer loop consumes values, the queue is building up quite fast and the disc starts working.
The test database table that I add data to is created by a simple:
create table test(aa int, bb char(15));
...I'm sure that this can be improved in some way.
I always open and close the connection to the database "outside the loop". However, it still takes some 40-50 ms to save the data to the database table - so, unfortunatly no progress to far. I currently just want to save the data.
Any more advise will be gratefully accepted.
Regards,
Mattias

I downloaded the latest Firefox security update and my computer will no longer access the internet in any fashion, despite the fact that I'm still connected to the internet. Other browsers no longer work either.

Immediately after I downloaded the latest firefox security update my computer will no longer access the internet. I still have a fine wireless connection but Firefox, Internet Explorer, Itunes, and every other program will no longer access the internet, saying there is a connection error. I even tried restoring my system to a previous date but it said that a security program was preventing it from doing so.

What's the security program called? Is it '''Win 7 Security''' by any chance? There's a rogue AV app that will prevent internet access by that name. It comes in many different flavours, but it's basically the same product with different names depending on the operating system its aimed at. See screenshot.
Do you have another computer you can use to download Malwarebytes? Or can you get a friend to download it for you and copy it to a USB drive? Download from here: http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
You can use the USB drive to transfer the program to your own PC and then install it.

Using MySql and PHP with Dreamweaver on a Mac

Hello all,
As always if the answers to these questions are obscenely
obvious please humour me.
I use XHTML and CSS in my websites and realise that it is
time that I dabbled with SSI. So I've started using PHP.
However, I have been following the installation directions of
MySql and am running into problems. I am installing the relavent
software and am then unable to find it on my Mac, the startup files
are there but the actual MySql data appears to not be installed
despite my computer telling me it is...... I am using a G3 running
OSX 10.4 is this good enough? I noticed talk of needing a PowerPC
or Intel mac. Is this the case?
Also, would I need MySql installed on my actual computer if
the my servers have it already? And does Dreamweaver 8 have both of
these programs installed as standard?
If you could help out I would be very appreciative as I would
like to learn this stuff and I appear to be struggling at the
outset....
Cheers

MySQL is a relational database management system that
comprises a
database server and several utility programs. Although you
install it
like any other program on a Mac, the similarity stops there.
First, the point about PowerPC and Intel Macs is that there
are
different versions of the MySQL installer for each type of
processor.
I'm pretty sure that a G3 is OK, but you must choose the
PowerPC version
of MySQL, not the 64-bit or x86 (Intel Mac) version.
Once you have installed MySQL, you need to drag the
MySQL.PrefPane icon
from the disk image onto your System Preferences. This
installs a
Preference Pane that enables you to start and stop MySQL. The
Preference
Pane has an option to start up MySQL automatically, but in my
experience, it doesn't work on Tiger. You need to open the
Preference
Pane, and click Start MySQL Server each time you start your
computer.
The best way to work with MySQL is to use a graphical
interface, such as
phpMyAdmin. As Osgood has mentioned, I have written a book
about PHP and
Dreamweaver, which goes into all the necessary details. It's
also very
Mac-friendly with separate instructions where necessary for
PC and Mac.
More details here:

Securing mysql initial accounts

Hi
MySQL by default in the install process create 2 users: root and anonymous, each one connecting through 'localhost' and trought the actual 'hostname', so there are 4 accounts with empty passwords in the grant tables.
But in the wiki they only mention the root account, and they only explain howto set the password for one account, leaving empty the password of the other root account.
In the MySQL reference manual: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/defau … leges.html they explain one must give passwords to the two root
accounts and either give passwords or delete the anonymous accounts.
I don't know if this is something we must add to the wiki.

Is your computer behind a firewall? Can your computer be seen
on the
internet? If not, then its only people inside your network
that can see
your computer and access it.
To be safe, just give the mysql root user a nice secure
password.
I always create a mysql user for front end connections, with
limited
permissions, and then another one for back end connections,
with
relevant permissions for its tasks.

I purchased my system June 16, 2009 with Vista downgraded to XP Pro so I was not able to purchase a upgrade disk from Lenovo to upgrade to Win 7 (deadline was June 22). This week I purchased the Windows 7,retail 64 bit Home Premium upgrade package at a local store.
I did the upgrade (clean install) Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium on my ThinkPad T400 type 2764-CTO. Also successfully installed all Win 7, 64 bit ThinkVantage software with System Update 4.
I manually Installed the file z909zis1032us00.exe Client Security Solution 8.3 for Windows 7 (64-bit only) Version: 8.30.0032.00 Note: When upgrading from Windows XP To use TPM with Win 7 erase TPM in the BIOS configuration utility. In the Security and Security Chip menu, locate the option to clear the security device referred to as Security Chip and clear. If not done you can install but not use the program.
Then I had this issue with Client Security - Password Manager version 8.30.00.32.00 and Office 2010's Word & Outlook. This was before I spotted a tread with the same issue between Password Manager 3.20.0320.00 and Office 2007.
I noticed that whenever I run Word 2010 or Outlook in conjunction with Client Security SolutionI I could not select text. I could no longer use CSS because of it...
I called Lenovo and was told that they do not support retail version of Win 7. (Remember they refuse to sell me their version a week earlier). Because I dint know what to do, I deactivated the TPM in Client Security and it solve the problem in both Word & Outlook.
On the following automatic System Update at the Lenovo site the system pick up something was wrong with Client Security (it did not when the TPM was activated???) and offered to download and install "Client Security Solution Office 2007 Patch 64bit". I did and following installation I re activated the TPM. The problem in Word & Outlook was no longer there.
Then on the next system update the system offered to download and install "Patch for IE crash with Password Manager (Win7) version 1.0". I had not experience that problem but downloaded and let the system install it anyway.
So the problem is not restricted to version 8. 3.20.0320.00 and Office 2007 as reported in the other thread. Because the patch was automatically downloaded fron the web site (Client Security Solution Office 2007 Patch 64bit) I do not know if it is the same patch the was offered in that thread.
I hope this will help other people having the same problem.

Tiger going crazy on iBook G4 with new security update and Safari 3

I'm running 10.4.11, 1.42GHz PPC G4 with 1.5GB of SDRAM.
So I ran software update where I noticed new Security Update and Safari update.
I tried to run the new Safari - Nothing, it's dead, no action! ( could hear hard drive but no action)
Today I tried running 'Software Update', it's spinning it's wheels, over and over again.
I'm sure Apple is working on sending me an email, as they got the skinny when the program crashed I forwarded the system message.
So a bit frustrated hear, I'm using Safari and getting to know Camino.
The Biggest frustration is that 'Mail' will not boot up so I use my internet to check mail, bummer.
So lets hope we get some info soon.

If you are operating behind a proxy server, maybe this will help.
With regards to crashes from behind a proxy server, I came up with a work around!
I have been using Automatic proxy configuration using a .pac file. That seems to be causing the error.
After inspecting the .pac file, and following the if, ifelse path, at the very bottom is a proxy address and port for unclassified connections. Mine looks like this
proxy.sun.ac.za Port :####
I have put this into my System Preferences for all connection types, manually. This is found under, System Preferences: Built-in Ethernet: Configure Manually...
Then you need to go through the box on the left and check each box. As you do so, paste the default proxy address and port in the open boxes on the right.
Hope this work around helps. My Quicktime is still not working for my older .avi files.

Upgraded my touch smart 520-1070 to windows 8 and now no program under hp touch smart works?

Upgraded my touch smart 520-1070 to Windows 8 and now no program under hp touch smart works (HP MUsic, HP Touch Smart Magic Canvas, etc)? Everything worked fine under Windows 7. No other problems with the Window 8 installation. It was very smooth.
Any Fixes or patches available?

Please see "HP - Upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8" for more information on limitations and requirements of upgrading a HP Windows 7 computer to Windows 8.
Not all Windows 8 features may be available on all Windows 7 computers. Your computer may require additional hardware, software, firmware, and/or a BIOS upgrade to install and run Windows 8.
Secure boot is not available on any HP Consumer Desktop or All-in-One computers.
If you purchased your computer prior to October 1st , 2011, HP has not tested or developed drivers for your model computer. Therefore an upgrade of your computer may be difficult or impossible.
HP recommends installing the 64-bit version of Windows 8 for desktop computers.
Not all Windows 8 features will be available on all computers, and your particular experience with Windows 8 is determined by the capabilities of your computer.
Software designed for Windows 7 or earlier operating systems may not work after installing Windows 8.
HP provides Windows 8 compatible software and updated drivers to support only specific computer models.
You might not be able to view DVD movies after upgrading. If you currently use a DVD codec to play DVD movies, such as the encoder that comes with Windows 7 Professional, this encoder may not be available after upgrading to Windows 8. To continue to play DVDs after you upgrade, go to http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/feature-packs to download Windows Media Center or purchase DVD playback software.
If you currently use DVD playback software from HP, the Windows 8 installation process helps you determine if your playback software is compatible with Windows 8 or if an update is required. If the software is compatible and you perform an In-place Upgrade, you have the option to keep this software during the upgrade. If you perform a Clean Install you must reinstall the software after the upgrade.
Windows 7 PCs with touch will not have full Windows 8 touch capabilities after upgrade. HP PCs with touch input hardware designed for Windows 7 will provide a comparable experience for only two touch point applications after the upgrade to Windows 8. HP Windows PCs with touch input hardware will not support Windows 8 applications that require more than two simultaneous touch points.
WARNING:HP Linkup, HP Application Assistant, HP TouchSmart Magic Canvas and all other HP TouchSmart applications are not compatible with Windows 8 and must be uninstalled before upgrading. Content created using the TouchSmart applications such as Graffiti will not be available after upgrading.
