Sharing/Caching (Dynamic) Images

I find that the Flash Player does not cache dynamic images
(even in the same session), so my question is, how would I share
images across multiple image components such that I can build an
asset provider of sorts to assit with caching images and other
assets?
I've tried a simplistic approach where in I assign the source
of one image component to another but then the first image
component goes blank and the image "transfers" to the second.
Not sure if BitmapData will help with this either.
Any help/direction is much appreciated.
Thanks.
Shiv.

How do get a dynamic image to open in new browser window

I'm using DW CS3, mysql (MAMP) OS 10.6.2 I'm designing my online store. I need the customer to be able to click dynamic image/thumbnails to view a larger image in a new browser pop up window 400 x 400. An example of this functionality can be seen at :
http://www.designpublic.com/spot-on-square-roh-dresser
So far I can get the separate new browser window to open with the dynamic image, using the open new browser behavior, but the on click also advances to next page with the larger image. You have to press the back button to get back to the product page. I want the customer to be able to see the product page , while viewing larger image, and then close larger image, and still have the product page open. I don't understand why 2 windows are opening.
Thanks for the help people!

Hi
I did look at it but, (and this is only my opinion, I do not like such effects) it is your decision.
If you view source you will see -
<a href="#" onclick="popWin('http://www.designpublic.com/catalog/product/gallery/id/12706/image/91883/', 'gallery', 'width=300,height=300,left=50,top=50,location=no,status=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes'); return false;" title="Spot on Square Roh Dresser" class="gallery-image-link"><img src="http://arcsmedia01.s3.amazonaws.com/catalog/product/cache/2/thumbnail/56x56/5e06319eda06f020e43594a9c230972d/r/o/roh_dresser1.jpg" alt="" /></a>
Which is controlled by the javascript function
popWin()
which you can view using the firefoxe dev toolbar - view javascript function.

UIX: how to get dynamic image generation working on ias10G?

Hi,
Anybody got UIX Dynamic Image Generation working on ias10G, on unix? My Images do not get generated (the page only shows the plain links)
My env:
- ias10G
- AIX Version 5
- java version: unknown, do not know what version ias10G is using
On earlier versions (OC4J 903) we had to make sure an XServer was running and pointed our DISPLAY variable to that server. When the XServer was down, we got a nice error message in the application logs. However on ias10G I cannot figure out where to set this variable and I cannot find any error messages.
Can anybody please help me out a bit?
Cheers,
Martijn

Hi Andy,
Thanks for your reply. However, I have not yet been able to get it working.
I have verified that the java version is indeed (this is what the oc4j logfile shows when I supply the -showversion parameter)
java version "1.4.1"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1)
Classic VM (build 1.4.1, J2RE 1.4.1 IBM AIX build ca1411-20030930 (JIT enabled: jitc))The relevant fragment of the opmn.xml:
          <process-type id="oc4j_cif_mh" module-id="OC4J">
               <module-data>
                  <category id="start-parameters">
                     <data id="java-options" value="-Djava.security.policy=/oracbd/j2ee/oc4j_cif_mh/config/java2.policy -

                  </category>
               </module-data>
               <start timeout="900" retry="2"/>
               <stop timeout="120"/>
               <restart timeout="720" retry="2"/>
               <port id="ajp" range="3301-3400"/>
               <port id="rmi" range="3201-3300"/>
               <port id="jms" range="3701-3800"/>
               <process-set id="default_island" numprocs="1"/>
            </process-type>Finally, your JSP passes the test. I can access it. But still no uix image generation. Are there any logfiles I can check for error messages on the failing image generation? May it be a web cache problem?
Thanks in advance

Dynamic Images

Hi
Got a query regarding images in portal...
I have the following simple dynamic page
<HTML>
<BODY>
<img src="/images/custom_images/LOGO.JPG")
</BODY>
</HTML>
When I run this page I get the appropriate jpeg file displayed.
If I go into the file system and replace the logo.jpg with another jpeg file of the same name and then re-run the dynamic page in Portal - I get the OLD image.
I would have expected the NEW image to be displayed - is there something obvious that I am missing here????
Alternatively - is there a better way (at runtime) to enable end users to configure an image displayed in portal?
Cheers
Graeme

This looks like a caching problem. Oracle Portal uses Oracle Web Cache to cache content. All requests to the portal first pass through web cache and the content is returned from web cache if possible.
Oracle Web Cache uses a combination of configurable cachability rules and caching headers in specific pages to determine what gets cached and what does not get cached. By default, I think Web Cache includes cachability rules to cache images.
I think your image is being cached in Web Cache. To prevent this you could:
a) turn off caching of images (not a good solution)
b) include cache headers in the http response returning the image
The second is the best solution, but it requires some work on your behalf - you need to create a servlet that will return the requested image and set the cache headers. I think the header you need to set to prevent caching in web cache is:
Surrogate-Control:no-store
You should verify this in the Web Cache documentation

Single shared cache for Bridge CS5 and CS6

I currently have Photoshop CS5.1 and CS6 installed on my Mac. Although I am only using CS6 for my work I have kept the previous version installed just in case any problems emerge with CS6 using Mountain Lion.
My simple question is whether or not I have to maintain separate cache folders for both versions of Bridge or whether they can actually be shared? At present I have two separate cache folders but the CS6 version is larger for some reason. I use Lightroom 4 generally for Raw processing.

Yes at present I have the original cache that was created by CS5.1 and then a second one that was created by CS6. These are stored by default in the User's Library but I read somewhere that performance was enahnced if they were moved to the same folder as the images, so I did that did that manually.
Apart from the space saving it occured to me that a shared cache would mean both versions stayed up to date but I wonder about the difference between the two different Raw processing engines and suspect that would be the biggest block against using a shared cache. I can't remember ever seeing this point addressed by Adobe so it would be good to have an authoritative answer one way or another.

Create dynamic image, dump on server someplace and reference in JSP?

I was thinking about creating dynamic images and referencing them on a JSP
          (creating them is ok). I'm sure this is a pretty standard thing, but I
          don't know how to do it. Any ideas? I tried doing a search on the BEA
          support site (nice changes :>) but nothing very accurate came up.
          Thanks.


Assign an ID (e.g. 1234) to the uploaded file. You should abstract the store
          so that it will work on the file system or in the database.
          The JSP will include an image ref to that ID, e.g.
          http://www.myco.com/myapp/imageservlet?id=1234
          The image servlet will retrieve and stream the image. It has to set content
          type etc. You should also verify that the current user has access to the
          requested image if security/privacy is an issue.

UIX dynamic image generation problem under SUSE Linux

Hi,
we have developed an application with UIX 2.1.14 under Windows 2000, and everything works fine when we run the application on the local OC4J.
But after deploying the .war file to our production system under SUSE Linux SLES-7 and 9iAS Rel.2, the dynamic image generation doesn't work correctly:
One strange thing we noticed is that rendering works fine when we use ground colours like #00FF00, #FF0000 and so on. But not when we use colours like #3172ba. We have tried this with XVFB, VNC and with "headless" JDK 1.4 (with java option -Djava.awt.headless=true in opmn.xml).
Any ideas? Or possible reasons why image generation works using colours like #FF0000 and why not with colours like #3172BA?
Regards,
Matthias Scherer

Dynamic image is not being displayed in Adobe Reader 8.1

Hi,
In interactive form, we have followed below required steps to show a dynamic image.
For the left image, drag and drop an Image Field element from the standard Library tab to the Body Pages pane. Select this image field and edit the following properties:
Click on the Layout tab and choose None for the Caption position.
Click on the Object, then the Binding tab and choose None for Default Binding.
Click on the Field tab, enter $record.SapOnlineShopUrl for the URL entry, and select Use Image Size for the Sizing field.
Click on the script editor and enter the following FormCalc script statement, which enables the dynamic integration of the image. Show: initialize Script: this.value.image.href = xfa.resolveNode(this.value.image.href).value;
Language: FormCalc Run At: Client
Image is displayed properly in Adobe reader 7.1 but it's not being displayed in Adobe reader 8.1.
I was going through some forums and understand that Adobe 8.1 blocks href URL. If this is indeed true, what's the alternative way to show a dynamic image?

Chandra

Dynamic image in the template builder plug-in does not work

Hi all,
The documentation says:
Direct Insertion
Insert the jpg, gif, or png image directly in your template.
+...This works obviously+
URL Reference
1. Insert a dummy image in your template.
2. In Microsoft Word's Format Picture dialog box select the Web tab. Enter the following syntax in the Alternative text region to reference the image URL:
url:{'http://image location'}
For example, enter: url:{'http://www.oracle.com/images/ora_log.gif'}
+...This works too when I hardcode an url as url:{'http://www.google.com.tr/images/firefox/mobiledownload.png'}+
Element Reference from XML File
1. Insert a dummy image in your template.
2. In Microsoft Word's Format Picture dialog box select the Web tab. Enter the following syntax in the Alternative text region to reference the image URL:
url:{IMAGE_LOCATION}
where IMAGE_LOCATION is an element from your XML file that holds the full URL to the image.
+...This, however, does not work.+
I use Apex' report query tool and My query is like
select 'http://www.google.com.tr/images/firefox/mobiledownload.png' IMAGE_LOCATION from ... (a single result set for my template)
the xml data is generated with an IMAGE_LOCATION tag. I load it to word template plug-in. The Url successfully displays in the report if I make it a plain-simple field.
But when it's in the image format->web->alt text as url:{IMAGE_LOCATION} no image displayed.
I need to keep this design procedure simple so a simple word user could design a report via using just template builder plug-in. I don't wish to explore the xsl-fo area...yet.
Could you tell me why I can't get this url:{IMAGE_LOCATION} to work?
Regards

How to display a dynamic image file from url?

Hey,I want to display a dynamic image file from url in applet.For example,a jpg file which from one video camera server,store one frame pictur for ever.My java file looks like here:
//PlayJpg.java:

import java.net.*;
public class PlayJpg extends Applet implements Runnable {
public static void main(String args[]) {
Frame F=new Frame("My Applet/Application Window");
F.setSize(480, 240);
PlayJpg A = new PlayJpg();
F.add(A);
A.start(); // Web browser calls start() automatically
// A.init(); - we skip calling it this time
// because it contains only Applet specific tasks.
F.setVisible(true);
Thread count = null;
String urlStr = null;
int sleepTime = 0;
Image image = null;
// called only for an applet - unless called explicitely by an appliaction
public void init() {
               sleepTime = Integer.parseInt(getParameter("refreshTime"));
          urlStr = getParameter("jpgFile");
// called only for an applet - unless called explicitely by an appliaction
public void start() {
count=(new Thread(this));
count.start();
// called only for applet when the browser leaves the web page

          }catch(Exception e){
          System.out.println("Sorry. System Caught Exception in paint().");
          System.out.println("e.getMessage():" + e.getMessage());
          System.out.println("e.toString():" + e.toString());
          System.out.println("e.printStackTrace():" );
          e.printStackTrace();
if (image!=null) g.drawImage(image,1,1,320,240,this);
// called each time the display needs to be repainted
public void run() {
while (count==Thread.currentThread()) {
try {
Thread.currentThread().sleep(sleepTime*1000);
} catch(Exception e) {}
repaint(); // forces update of the screen
// end of PlayJpg.java
My Html file looks like here:
<html>
<applet code="PlayJpg.class" width=320 height=240>
<param name=jpgFile value="http://Localhost/playjpg/snapshot0.jpg">
<param name=refreshTime value="1">
</applet>
</html>
I only get the first frame picture for ever by my html.But the jpg file is dynamic.
Why?
Can you help me?
Thanks.

Hi,
Add this line inside your run() method, right before your call to repaint():
if (image != null) {image.flush();}Hope this helps,
Kurt.

Dynamic Image Displays Blank When Using In Visual Studio Project

I am trying to simply display a dynamic image in a report. I am using Crystal Reports XI Release 2.
I have two different environments: Local via Progress where reports are called using Crystal Viewer ActiveX, and over the web where reports are called from Open Laszlo and Visual Studio project.
The image is set to a blank image as default, and Graphic Location Forumla loads the image from the database (site.logo_location + site.logo_filename) which results in an image http:
www.vetinfo3.com\a.jpg.
When I run the reports locally using the ActiveX control, it works just fine and displays the image.
When I run over the web using OpenLaszlo, it displays a blank.
Troubleshooting
We are using Visual Studio 2005, which is bundled with an older version of Crystal that doesn't support dynamic images.
To address this, I loaded Crystal XI Release 2, which updated the version in Visual Studio and enabled the Graphic Location formula field on the dev machine.
I verified the Graphic Location field was set correctly.
This caused a Version error, so we loaded cr_net_2005_mm_mlb_x86.zip on server and specified the Version in web.Config.
No errors now, but when I build and publish the code, the image still displays as blank.
            From Fiddler
               GET http://www.vetinfo3.com/mdsol1/CrystalImageHandler.aspx?dynamicimage=cr_tmp_image_c5d6a923-293b-4f1e-8739-4e698f83b087.png
               Creates C:\Documents and Settings\Curtis\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\PWRUX2XW\CrystalImageHandler[1].png
               Blank Image
According to issues within Visual Studio, they say the fix to this is to add the <httpHandler> in web.Config, but it is already there; added when we add the viewer to the project:
In web.Config I have some questions about this line:
    <httpHandlers>
      <add verb="GET" path="CrystalImageHandler.aspx" type="CrystalDecisions.Web.CrystalImageHandler, CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=11.5.3700.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304"/>
    </httpHandlers>
There are more service packs for Crystal XI Release 2:
crXIr2sp2_net_server_install.zip
crXIr2sp3_net_server_install.zip
crXIr2sp4_net_server_install.zip
I have not loaded these yet, but the readme files do not indicate they fix any dynamic image issues.
I am out of ideas on this; does anyone have any ideas?

What about if you take OpenLaszlo out of the picture? E.g.; use one of our samples from here;
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsfor.NETSDK+Samples
I'd recommend vbnet_web_simplepreviewreport
Also, see [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a0437ea8-97d2-2b10-2795-c202a76a5e80] article.

Dynamic Images in PDF Report

Hi,
I want to create Badges from employee table (ID, NAME, JOB_TITLE, PHOTO). I downloaded and installed a demo application "USING DYNAMIC IMAGES IN PDF REPORT". It works fine with smale images < 20K. I'm getting the following error for images > 20K :
"ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: raw variable length too long"
it seems like a buffer problem.
could you pls help to solve this problem
Thanks,
Ribhi

Hi Carsten
That was exactly* I was looking for. Maybe I should Google more in German ;-)
The main problem was that I defined my image outside the first repeating group (that doesn't repeat, it's always just one object) - the first group is followed by 7 more.
Just like the "Name" (that's positioned outside the group in the document header), I positioned the image above the table representing the group.
Doing that, the "Name" is filled correctly, the Image only when the Output Format is Excel or HTML - not Word or PDF ... makes no sense but that's tje way it is.
After moving the image inside the group....it works great!
(One more thing...the image size is fixed to the image you use as "dummy". Is there any way to make that more flexible, because now some scaling happens...)???
@Trent: That was the way we initially did it, but when the size of the row exceeds 32K...you know what happens.. And even with a small image the 32K limit is hit easily
The way I use it now (very similar to Carsten's description) there is no limit....
Thank you all!

"Your only option is to use the Insert OLE Object or picture into the report" - fine, but how is this achieved from a dataset?
"CR will not display BLOB fields as pictures" - fine, but maybe I used the word BLOB badly. The dataset column datatype is "byte[]". Will CR display byte[] columns as pictures?
"You can use a database field to point to which picture file to use, then you won't be using up valuable memory space importing the images into your data set. And the Logo's now dynamic...." - this seems to suggest that the database field is a string storing the file location on disk. Yes? I don't care about memory space in this case and I'm happy to load a binary file into a byte[] column if there is a way of displaying it.
So, if I understand correctly, you're suggesting the dataset contain a table.row.column which stores the filelocation. How do I convert that to display as a picture (dynamically)?

Showing dynamic images in BI Publisher PDF report

I defined a RTF report layout in BI Publisher. Almost done, but one requirement missing...
I should be able to include a dynamic image (so every "object" on the report has it's own image).
At first I embedded the base64 converted image in the XML output, but then I am running into the 32K limit. (Small pictures render fine).
Although Marc Sewtz sort of promised in June 2008 (!) : "One issue, which we'll address in the next version of Application Express, is the 32k limit on report columns." on his blogpost http://marcsewtz.blogspot.com/2008/06/one-question-about-pdf-printing-feature.html , it still not addressed.
So I tried to embed the image in the report using a trick described on the forum (and BIP documentation), by embedding a dummy picture and set the "Alt-text" of the picture to
(as an example) : url:{'http://www.oracleimg.com/us/assets/oralogo-small.gif'}.
The strange thing is, that works fine for HTML Output and Excel output, but not for Word and PDF (why it does work for Excel and not for Word is very mysterious....). And of course I need a PDF output.
I also tried to embed a FO snippet:
<fo:block>
<fo:external-graphic src="url:{'http://www.oracleimg.com/us/assets/oralogo-small.gif'}" />
</fo:block>
But that doesn't (seem to) work on any output...
But
<fo:block>
<fo:external-graphic src="D:\Users\rhartman\Documents\PrintScreen Files\Screenshot004.jpg" />
</fo:block>
does produce the image on the PDF output.
So who has an idea how to solve this issue?? You'll be rewarded with a lot of pionts ;-)
TIA

Hi Carsten
That was exactly* I was looking for. Maybe I should Google more in German ;-)
The main problem was that I defined my image outside the first repeating group (that doesn't repeat, it's always just one object) - the first group is followed by 7 more.
Just like the "Name" (that's positioned outside the group in the document header), I positioned the image above the table representing the group.
Doing that, the "Name" is filled correctly, the Image only when the Output Format is Excel or HTML - not Word or PDF ... makes no sense but that's tje way it is.
After moving the image inside the group....it works great!
(One more thing...the image size is fixed to the image you use as "dummy". Is there any way to make that more flexible, because now some scaling happens...)???
@Trent: That was the way we initially did it, but when the size of the row exceeds 32K...you know what happens.. And even with a small image the 32K limit is hit easily
The way I use it now (very similar to Carsten's description) there is no limit....
Thank you all!

How to insert a dynamic image from a database

I've recently started using Dreamweaver CC to set up a Dynamic Website (PHP pages with a mySQL database). With perseverance and by downloading the new depreciated Server Behaviors and Bindings Panels I've been more or less successful at accomplishing my tasks. I'm still struggling with getting a image to display from mySQL server data base. In the Pre CC revisions this was easy and well documented. I've downloaded the DMXZone HTML5 Data Bindings extension. I can almost get accomplish my dynamic image task, but the DMXZone HTML5 Data Bindings extension says I must now get the the "unfinished but working on" DMX Zone Database Extension in addition to the HTML5 Data Bindings Extension to select my data source from the database.
I'm thinking about dumping Dreamweaver CC altogether and just installing CS6 until the path gets better paved. Any other ideas? Sample code? Work around? Thanks in advance

Really you would do it like any other piece of information in your database.
Store the actual images in a folder on your server and the image file name in the database - myImage.jpg
Then echo it to the page following the convention of your other data which is being echoed onto the page:
<img scr="images/<?php echo $row_rsRecordSetName['images']; ?> alt="" >
['images'] above being the name of the database field in which you stored the image name and $row_rsRecordSetName being the variable created by the recordset (yours will be different)
