Server-side rendering for TextFlow XML?

We have been using the TLF to render text in a web browser, but now we need to upload the TextFlow XML to a server and render the content to exactly the same output. I know very little about swf on servers - is that a properly scaleable solution? Alternatively do libraries (say, Java) exist that can render TextFlow XML?
Thanks!

Take a look at the TextLine.dump() function. That contains the information about exactly what glyphs were drawn and where.

Server-side authentication for web services

I was hoping to use Azure's server-side authentication for a HTML/JS web app. Some things are a bit unclear. For example, if a new user authenticates via Facebook, I want to create an associated record on the server-side and associate extra data with the
user, irrespective of the service used to log in. If they log in again, I want the client to be able to get this extra data (eg preferences) from the server. On the back-end, I also want to be able to update particular fields of this record that the user cannot
change themselves. I know how to go about this in a plain Node.js backend, but not sure how some of these basic things map to using Azure's services.

Once the user logs in, you will have their information available to your server scripts. So one option is to use a custom API (or a Mobile Services Table) to insert/read/update the user data. You would protect this endpoint so that only logged-in users can
access it, and then access the
user object to obtain an ID an associate it in a table row. Lookups could be performed by similarly querying for the ID.
In terms of some fields being restricted, you could remove these from the update request itself.
Some pointers that might be helpful:

Unable to use RAS SDK for server-side printing for XI 3.1

Hi all,
I am using RAS SDK for server-side printing. Here are my codes:
ISessionMgr sessionMgr = CrystalEnterprise.getSessionMgr();
IEnterpriseSession enterpriseSession = sessionMgr.logon("Administrator", "", "cdi5boe", "secEnterprise");
IInfoStore iStore = (IInfoStore) enterpriseSession.getService("InfoStore");
//out.println("Current User is = " + enterpriseSession.getUserInfo().getUserName());
//out.println ("<br>");
IInfoObjects infoObjects = iStore.query("SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_Kind='CrystalReport' AND SI_NAME = 'Sales Print'");
IInfoObject infoObject = (IInfoObject)infoObjects.get(0);
IReportAppFactory reportAppFactory = (IReportAppFactory) enterpriseSession.getService("RASReportFactory");
ReportClientDocument rcd = new ReportClientDocument();
rcd = reportAppFactory.openDocument(infoObject,0, java.util.Locale.US);
//Create print options to use when printing.
PrintReportOptions printOptions = new PrintReportOptions();
printOptions.setPrinterName("
cdi5boe
HPLaserJ");
printOptions.setJobTitle("Test Printer Job");
printOptions.setPrinterDuplex(PrinterDuplex.horizontal);
printOptions.setPaperSource(PaperSource.auto);
printOptions.setPaperSize(PaperSize.paperLetter);
printOptions.setNumberOfCopies(1);
printOptions.setCollated(false);
PrintReportOptions.PageRange printPageRange = new PrintReportOptions.PageRange(1,1);
printOptions.addPrinterPageRange(printPageRange);
//Print report.
rcd.getPrintOutputController().printReport(printOptions);
When I run the report, I got the following errors:
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKPrinterException: com.businessobjects.crystalreports.printer.bean.ReportPrinter---- Error code:-2147215357 Error code name:internal
I consult the Diamond Technical Community and I found the issue related to printer name:
https://boc.sdn.sap.com/node/498
However, I did check the printer name, it is accessible via Windows Explorer.
Anyone knows how to resolve this?
Regards,

It doesn't appear to be listed as a dependency in the developer docs, but would you try putting the ReportPrinter.jar in your RAS app?
Sincerely,

Server Side Includes for Apache and parsing text files

I have an old website I used to do zipped up and I decided to set it up on my personal webserver in OS X . I got apache configured to allow server side includes (edited the httpd.conf to all them:
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks Indexes MultiViews Includes
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
But I can't get the pages to come up. See I have this .shtml page which loads fine and a part of it has this line:

But it won't parse that txt file and show the html that its formatted in.
Anyone have any ideas on how to get it to parse that txt file? Even if I load just that txt file it shows raw code not it formatted. Please help.

Ignore that first reply. I thought I was dealing with server.
As usual, I fogot to make sure that Includes was in the Options directive for the DOCUMENT_ROOT or VirtualHost. After 10 years, you'd think I'd remember that. I just configged one of my macs to do SSI. Here's the 3 lines that I changed:
Line 399 (the DOCUMENT_ROOT definition): Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews Includes
Line 887 (To use server parsed HTML): AddType text/html .shtml
Line 888: AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
apachectl restart
and off it went!

Server Side Actionscript for HTTP Streaming Connections, is it supported?

Hi, I have a server side actionscript application working for RTMP, and I would like to reuse this code for HTTP connections.
Is this possible?

Thank you for your answer. If I understand what you are saying, the apache modules proxy http to rtmp on the streaming server. I have an application that is passing context into the rtmp server side javascript using a url similar to this:
rtmp://myhostname.com/myapp?mycontext/mp4:myfilename
Do you think there is a way to pass the mycontext through the http url so that the Server Side Actionscript can perform an operation based on that context?

How to configure server side discovery for email account configuration as an email provider ?

Hello,
I would like to know if there is any way to provide configuration settings for a regular (not Exchange) email account on server side (email provider side) ?
iPhone is supporting autodiscover for Exchange but doesn't seem to support it for regular POP or IMAP mail accounts.
I would like to avoid going through Profiles.
Regards,

A further restriction of team workspaces and their inbox is that you cannot write mails on behalf of the tws's address.
Also, you cannot define aliases on the inbox of a tws. There is an open ER 8824582: CREATE AN ALIAS FOR A TEAM WORKSPACE'S EMAIL ADDRESS
Furthermore, you need to wait for 2.1 to have IMAP access on tws's (we definitely hope 2.1 will bring this feature).
All this brought us to the decision of not using tws's inboxes at all (not defining mail addresses for them), and use (pseudo) personal workspaces and delegation for functional inboxes.

FYI: Server-side fix for IE / Adobe Reader 10.1.2 PDF embed problem

Hey all,
I posted this message as a reply to a question, but want to make sure this gets out there for others who may benefit:
After about four hours of debugging this issue, I have found that, at least for me, the regression issue seems to be with Adobe Reader handling a gzipped PDF embedded in the IE browser, specifically. I can't speak to why this would occur, but hopefully this will help others out. On our site, we had gzipping only disabled (as most probably do) for images (gif, jpg, jpeg, png), meaning PDFs were being gzipped. This, prior to 10.1.2, worked just fine. I changed our web server configs so that PDFs are no longer gzipped and I can now view the PDFs in IE with Reader 10.1.2 the same as before.
If you're using Apache, look for a line that looks something like this in your httpd.conf:
\.(?:gif|jpe?g|png)$ no-gzip dont-vary
And change to:
\.(?:gif|jpe?g|png|pdf)$ no-gzip dont-vary
That all being said, this still sounds like a bug in Reader 10.1.2, and gzipped PDFs via IE should be supported. I'm sending a separate report to Adobe so hopefully that specific information will help them debug / fix. Until a patch has been released, however, this will make sure our customers can view PDFs. Hope this helps someone else out!

According to http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/860/cpsid_86063.html from 2012-01-09
"Unsupported configurations for Reader running in Protected Mode include:
Hosting on a Citrix or Windows Terminal Server. Fixed 10.1 (including Acrobat's Protected View)."
Try disabling Protected Mode:
From Adobe's help file:
Protected mode (Windows)
By default, Adobe Reader X runs in protected mode to provide an added layer of security. In protected mode, malicious PDF documents can’t launch arbitrary executable files or write to system directories or the Windows Registry.
To check the status of protected mode, choose File > Properties > Advanced > Protected Mode.
Protected mode is enabled by default. To turn off protected mode:

Server side validation for file type with cffil sent via cfmail problem

Hello;
I have a small app that I need to allow users to be able to use a form, and send me and email with a file attachment. I have it working nicely, I included file manipulation into the validation process of the form and required form fields. The problem I'm having, is this. I'm trying to create and instance where if they try and upload lets say a pdf, it throws and error: "You are trying to upload the wrong file, please try again we only accept bla bla bla" Problem is, even if I'm uploading the proper file, it's rejecting it and deleting it. Can someone help me fix this? I've tried a number of different ways and can't seem to get this to go off properly. I am posting some of the code. There is a ton, so I'm posting the main parts so you get the idea and see my variables.

<cfparam name="FORM.descript" type="string" default=""/>
<cfparam name="FORM.attachment_1" type="string" default=""/>
<cfset arrErrors = ArrayNew( 1 ) />
<cfset showForm = true>
<cfif structKeyExists(form, "sendcomments")>
<cfif NOT len(trim(FORM.name))>
<cfset ArrayAppend(arrErrors,"Your Full Name!<br>") />
</cfif>

<cfif NOT Len(Trim(FORM.attachment_1))>
<cfset ArrayAppend(arrErrors,"You didn't attach a file!<br>") />
<cfelseif ArrayLen( arrErrors )>
<cftry>
<cffile action="DELETE" file="#FORM.resume#"/>
<cfcatch>

</cfcatch>
</cftry>
<cfelse>

<cftry>
<cfset request.AcceptImage="image/gif,image/jpg,image/jpeg,image/pjpeg,image/x-png">
<cffile action="upload"
                 filefield="attachment_1"
                 accept="#request.AcceptImage#"
                 destination="c:\websites\187914Kg3\uploads\"
                 nameconflict="Makeunique">

<cfif NOT ListFindNoCase("request.AcceptImage",CFFILE.ServerFileExt)>
<cfset ArrayAppend(arrErrors,"Only JPEG, GIF, and PNG file formats are accepted!<br>") />

<cftry>
<cffile action="DELETE" file="#CFFILE.ServerDirectory#\#CFFILE.ServerFile#"/>
<cfcatch>

</cfcatch>
</cftry>
</cfif>

Can anyone help me out. I can make more of this code available if needed. Like i said, there's a lot and I didn't want to dump it all out, this is the section creating the problem. There are no errors at this time, just rejecting all file types.
thank you.

It appears you are comparing your content_length with 1MB.

Let us use max allowable size of 25KB here and amend the second half of our code.

Allowing server side script for an explicit page

Works with SP2010, but not with SP2013:
<PageParserPath VirtualPath="/_catalogs/masterpage/InternalSystems.master" CompilationMode="Always" AllowServerSideScript="true" />
I don't want to use the "VirtualPath=/*"-workaround.
Any solutions ?

<PageParserPath VirtualPath="/*" CompilationMode="Always" AllowServerSideScript="true" IncludeSubFolders="true" />
As i mentioned above: Don't want do use "/*" as virtual path. As soon as i change this to a particular site (e.g. "/pages/*"), it does not work. Always get an exception.

Server Side Includes with .irpt pages

I am intrested in using server side includes within my .irpt pages for example
<!#INCLUDE FILE="file.inc">
specifically inside of my applet tags to reference a standard set of parameters that I would like to be passed into my display templates. Does xMII have a similar representation of server side includes for .irpt pages?

It might make your head explode, but in a good way...
Also, you'll need 11.5 or newer to run this. There are so incredibly many opportunities that this might open up for you to deliver not only static, but also dynamic embedded server-side content.
There are many aspects of xMII that are largely untapped. A few common ones are the ability of the Runner servlet (which invokes xMII BLS transactions) to stream virtually any type of content back to the requestor (XML, HTML, text, images, PDFs, Excel, whatever).
The other feature that not too many people use is the ability to use an xMII BLS transaction as a "stylesheet".
Lastly, there is the little-known "<SERVLET>" tag that can be used in IRPT pages.
Put all these pieces together, and amazing things can be done. The example I'm going to show you uses a BLS transaction, but it can also be done with an XSL stylesheet (if the desired included HTML is static). But let's go for the cool approach...
Let's assume you have some "stuff", such HTML page content, that you want included in a specific position on your web page. Let's also assume that this "stuff" resides in a file accessible at http://localhost/MyInclude.html (the file extension doesn't really matter).
Create a new BLS transaction with no inputs and an output of type String (the name of the output doesn't matter - but in our case, let's assume you name it HTMLOutput). To workaround a cosmetic bug (which will be fixed in a future patch), you should also create a second output (doesn't matter what name or type) - so add one called "DummyOutput" of type String. Not worth explaining why - just do it.
Next, add either a TextLoader or HTMLLoader action (in the Web group) to your transaction (they both do the same thing, actually - just different icons). In the Output links tab, assign the StringContent of the loader action to the transaction output. This basically accomplishes the loading and streaming of your included "stuff".
Save this transaction. Let's save it in a folder called CoolStuff, with the name IncludeTest.
In your IRPT page, add the following code where you want the "stuff" to appear.
<SERVLET NAME="Illuminator">
     <param name="Stylesheet" value="xacute://CoolStuff/IncludeTest" />
     <param name="OutputParameter" value="HTMLOutput" />
     <param name="Output-Content-Type" value="text/html" />
     <param name="Content-Type" value="text/html" />
</SERVLET>
Save the IRPT page, load it, and you're in business!
You can probably already start to envision to possibilities for adding more sophisticated business logic to create "dynamically" embedded content in your IRPT pages...
Best regards,
Rick

Multiple room management -- best practice -- server side http api update?

Hi Folks,
Some of the forum postings on multiple room management are over year old now. I have student/tutor chat application which has been in the wild for 5 months now and appears to be working well. There is a single tutor per room, multiple chats and soon to be a whiteboard per student, which is shared with the tutor in a tabbed UI.
It is now time to fill out the multiple tutor functionality, which I considered and researched when building, but did not come to any conclusions. I'm leaning towards a server side implementation. Is there an impending update to the http api?
Here is what I understand to be the flow:
1) server side management of who is accessing the room
2) load balance and manage the room access 1 time user and owner session from the server side
3) for my implementation, a tutor will need to login to the room, in order for it to be available
4) Any reconnection would in turn need to be managed by the server side, and is really a special case of room load balancing.
My fear is that at some point I'm going to need access to the number of students in the room or similar and this is not available, so that I'll need client functionality, which will need update the server side manager.
As well, I'm concerned about delays on the server side access to which might create race conditions in a re-connect situation. User attempts to reconnect, but server side manager thinks that the user is already connected.
Surely this simple room management has been built, does anyone have any wisdom they can impart? Is there any best practice guidance or any samples?
Thanks,
Doug

Hi Raff, Thanks a ton for the response.
I wasn't clear on what I was calling load balancing. What I mean by this is room assignment for student clients. We have one tutor per room. There are multiple students per room, but each is in their own one-on-one chat with the tutor.
I'm very much struggling with where to do the room assignment / room managemnt, on the server side or on the client side (if that is even possible). In my testing it is taking upwards of 10 seconds minimum to get a list of rooms (4 virtually empty rooms) and to query the users in a single room (also a minimum of users/nodes in the queried room). If after this point, I 'redirect' the student to the least full room, then the student incurs the cost of creating a new session and logging into the room. As well I intend to do a bit of xml parsing, and other processing, so that 10 seconds is likely to grow.
Would I see better performance trying to do this in the client?
As far as the server side, at what point does a room go to 'not-active'?
When I'm querying the roomList, I am considered one of the 'OWNER' users in the UserLists. At what point can it be safe to assume that I have left the room?
Is there documentation on the meaning and lifecycle of the different status codes? not-active, not-running, and ok? Are there others?
How much staleness can I expect from the server-side queries?
As far as feature set, the only thing that comes to mind is xpath and or wild card support for getNode() but i think this was mentioned in other posts.
Regarding the reconnection issues, I am timing out the student after inactivity, and this is probably by and large the bulk of my reconnect use cases. This and any logout interaction from the student presents a use case where I may want reassign the student return to the same room as before. I can envision scenarios of a preferred tutor if available etc. In this case, I'll need to know list of rooms. In terms of reconnection failover, this is not not a LCCS / FMS issue.
Thanks again for responding.

Can't see BlazeDS server side log

Hi,
I'm running JBoss 5 EAP and BlazeDS 3. I don't see any server side log for BlazeDS even though I followed BlazeDS documentation. Following is the logging section in my services-config.xml:

According to the documentation, I should see log entries for BlazeDS in JBoss server log. But I didn't. Can anyone help me out with this issue?
Thanks.

Server Side Requirement

I am a .Mac (Apple Computer) -- more recently MobileMe --
user who would like to upgrade the functionality of his .Mac
(MobileMe) website. I use Dreamweaver CS3 to manage my website and
would like to improve my webpage functionality to make my site more
attractive and easier to navigate. In order to achieve this end I
am considering the use of several SPRY navigating widgets and some
other soft-gadgetry including Master/Detail XML files.
Although it is easy to find information about how to include
this gadgetry into my website, it has proven difficult for me to
determine whether, once included, it will function. As MobileMe
only supports its own software, I have been left in the cold.
Surely trial and error are a reasonable alternative to Apple's
reluctance to assist in this matter, but this approach can be very
time consuming. Can someone direct me to a proper source?
I need to know the minimum server-side requirements for each
SPRY element that I include in my webpages.

Well i can't say much about this subject as i don't have
MobileMe account, but the hosting doesn't provide any serverside
coding like PHP.
If you don't have the iWeb program to publish websites you
can manually put the required Spry files in the Web/Sites folder.
The only items that are required to run Spry are the
JavaScript files. (and the css files for styling, but its not
required for the functionality).
Just make sure you upload all files in the right folders and
that you link to the correct folders.

Problem decrypting the encryptedKey at server side

Hi,
Just a bit of background about my environment and problem: I am using JBoss 4.2.3 and JBoss metro for my web services. I am trying to test my web service with security using SOAtest6.2. I also have a servlet based client for my web service. I have enfored WS-Security policy using WSIT. Now when i use servlet based client everything works perfectly ok, however when i use SOAtest6.2 using the same keystore and truststore (which i have used for servlet based client) it doesn't seem to be working. I am getting the following error at server side:
ERROR [com.sun.xml.wss.logging.impl.opt.crypto] WSS1913: Key used to decrypt EncryptedKey cannot be null
ERROR [com.sun.xml.wss.logging.impl.opt.crypto] WSS1927: Error occured while decrypting EncryptedKey
I don't know where things are going wrong here.
Not sure what other information i should provide at the moment, however i will provide any information as and when required.
Thanks

Are there any exceptions thrown??
And where are you trying to run your application?
