Simulating a mutiple line text entry-what is the better approach?

I brand new to Captivate but hail from a past Authorware background. I'm creating an exercise where the user must add 5 individual terms to a list.
I'd like to accomplish this with one text box but it looks like I am going to have to have 5 separate slides and swap things such that on entry 2 I show entry 1 and on entry 3 I show entry 1,2 etc.
Also-I need to switch the text in the entry box. I'm going to reserach the manual on this as I am sure I am missing something.
Thanks

You will need 5 Text Entry Boxes, but not necessarily on 5 slides. It is possible to time each TEB on the timeline. Let the user give the first item in a first TEB on the start of the Timeline. The standard action when confirming the entry (by a button or a shortcut like Enter) is 'Continue', so the slide will continue and get to the second TEB. The user gives the second entry, after confirming the slide will continue, you are getting to the third TEB.
I hope this is not too confusing. Perhaps this screenshot will explain more:

What's the better approach?

Hi, I was just making a program that access a DB through JDBC, and I got myself into this dilemma
What's the better approach to make a connection to a DB?
approach #1(use of singleton pattern)
import java.sql.*;
public class DBConnection {
    private ResultSet rs;
    private Connection conn;
    private PreparedStatement ps;
    private static boolean singleton = false;
    private DBConnection() throws Exception{
        Class.forName("driverPath").newInstance();
     conn = DriverManager.getConnection("url", "user", "pass");
     singleton = true;
    public static DBConnection getInstance() throws Exception{
        if(singleton)
         return null;
        return new DBConnection();
    protected void finalize() throws Throwable {
        //close the connection and release resources...
        singleton = false;
    //Methods to make DB querys and stuff.
}approach #2 (make a connection only when doing querys)
public class DBConnection {
    private ResultSet rs;
    private Connection conn;
    private PreparedStatement ps;
    public DBConnection() throws Exception {
        Class.forName("driverPath").newInstance();
    //Just some random method to access the DB
    public ArrayList<Row> selectAllFromTable() {
        ArrayList<Row> returnValue = new ArrayList<Row>();
     try {
         conn = DriverManager.getConnection("url", "user", "pass");
         //make querys and fill the arraylist with rows from the table
     } catch(Exception ex) {
         returnValue = null;
         ex.printStackTrace();
     } finally {
         if(ps != null)
             ps.close();
            if(rs != null)
          rs.close();
         if(conn != null)
          conn.close();
     return returnValue;
}I know this classes maybe don't even compile and I don't handle the Exceptions, I'm just trying to make a point about how to manage the connection
So, what it's the better approach in your opinions? #1? #2? neither?

Hi,
I'm resurrecting this thread to ask is this approach OK?
I'm trying to make a single MySql JDBC connection accessible throughout the model.
I'm planning to use it in a Swing application. Whilst I realise the Swing apps are inherently multi-threaded, everything I plan to do can (I think) be done within the constraint that all access to model happens on the EDT, and the user will just have to wear any unresponsiveness.
package datatable.utils;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
abstract public class MySqlConnection {
     public static final String URL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/test";
     public static final String USERNAME = "keith";//case sensitive
     private static final String PASSWORD = "chewie00";//case sensitive
     private static final Connection theConnection;
     static {
          String driverClassName = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
          try {
               Class.forName(driverClassName);
               theConnection = DriverManager.getConnection(URL, USERNAME, PASSWORD);
          } catch (Exception e) {
               throw new DAOException("Failed to register JDBC driver class \""+driverClassName+"\"", e);
     public static Connection get() {
          return(theConnection);
}Is there a better solution short of c3po? Which I played with, but couldn't work out how to configure.
Thanx guys (and uj),
keith.

What is the better approach to populate Ref cursor into ADF business Component

HI All,
I have a requirement where I get the search results by joining more than 10 tables for my search criteria.
What is the best approach to populate into ADF BCs.
I have to go with Stored Procedure approach where I input the search Criteria and get the cursor back from the same.
If I populate VO programmatically then the filtering at column level is a challenge.
Anyone Please help me. Thanks in Advance.
Thanks,
Balaji Mucheli.

The number of tables to be joined for a VO's query shouldn't matter - if the query is valid and fixed.
Are you saying that you have logic to decide which tables to join to create the correct query? I admit that would be a difficult thing to do, other than with a programmatic VO. However, there are two possible solutions for doing this without a programmatic VO.
Instead of your procedure returning a REF CURSOR, you can create an object type (CREATE TYPE) and a nested table of that type. Then you have a function that returns an instance of the nested table. The query in the VO is SELECT my_column... FROM TABLE(CAST my_table_function(:bind_variable) AS my_table_type). You may have trouble getting the VO to accept this query as valid SQL, but it IS valid and it DOES work.
Create a VO to be the master VO - it should have all the attributes that you intend to use, but the query can be anything, even a SELECT from DUAL. Then create other VOs that subclass the master VO - one for each major variation of the query. When you use the VO, use the data control for the master VO to create your pages, but change the pageDef to make the VO name a variable (with expression language). Then you can set that variable to the correct child VO for the query that needs to execute.

What is forwarded when " as in-line text" is selected in the drop-down box for forwarding a message. i.e. are attachments forwarded with the message or not?

Some websites require a special client certficate for access. If you don't have that certficate, you'll have to contact the site operator to find out how to get one.
Sometimes the problem is caused by a web server that is configured to request an optional client certificate. Safari treats the request as mandatory. In that case, other browsers such as Firefox and Chrome may be able to connect to the site, because they ignore the request.
The first time you were prompted for a certificate, you may have clicked through a dialog that requested access to the Apple certificate in your keychain that is used to secure the iMessage service. In that case, you may be able to regain access to the site in Safari by doing as follows.
Back up all data.
Double-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
com.apple.idms.appleid.prd
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Paste into the search field in the Keychain Access window by clicking in it and pressing the key combination command-V. An item may appear in the list of keychain items. The Name will begin with string you searched for, and the Kind will be "certificate."
Delete the item by selecting it and pressing the delete key. It will be recreated automatically the next time you launch the Messages or FaceTime application.
The next time you visit a site that prompts for an optional client certificate, cancel out of the prompt. You may have to do this several times before the server stops asking.

PRICING ELEMENTS
The standard system includes condition types for basic pricing elements, such as material prices, customer and material discounts, and surcharges such as freight and sales taxes. In the case of each element, you can use the standard version, modify the standard version, or create entirely new definitions to suit your own business needs. The sequence of activities is generally as follows:
Define condition types for each of the price elements (prices, discounts, and surcharges) that occur in your daily business transactions.
Define the condition tables that enable you to store and retrieve condition records for each of the different condition types.
Define the access sequences that enable the system to find valid condition records.
Group condition types and establish their sequence in pricing procedures.

It looks you are new to PI,
you have to develop scenario end to end, by creating source data type and target data type(if you have XSD's not required),then use Graphical mapping (message mapping) to map source and target structures.
Search in sdn for one end to end scenario you will understand easily

What is the best approach to trying to find high freq hits in a file?

Lets say I have a text document that has millions of rows of information like "Name, address, last time checked in:"
What is the best approach if I were to look for the top 5 people who appears the most on this huge list?
Thanks!

If it is not in a database and it's just one fileYou can still put it into a DB.
with all those data, what approach would be good in
the realm of Java? I thought I already said that.
Would Map still be the best
choice?Simplest? Probably. Best? Only you can determine that.
Would the complexity be n^2 since you would
need to put everything in, then compare all the
sizes?No, it should be O(2N) (which is really O(N)). Inseting into the map is O(N), and then iterating once over the entries and adjusting your running top 5 is O(N).

What is the better way to change name of a site with paths and links?

Hi!
i m using dreamweaver cs4 and i have a site already configured on dreamweaver
i need to change the name of the site and at the same time, every path names and every links
This site has about 50 pages so i would like to know what is the better steps to do for modified the name of the site unless problem?
I read the informations about 'manage site' but its not clear for me about links and path names!!
thank you

Just use site manager to change the site name. Nothing complicated with that.
What exactly do you mean by changing path names? Do you want to change the name of folders in the site? If so, just change them within DW and it will prompt if you want to update links.

if u will unable to find bapi
u have to create bapi and use it in lasmw
ofter that u have schedule the lsmw program as a bockground
then u have to create a job for it

What's the best approach for handeling about 1300 connections in Oracle.

What's the best approach for handling about 1300 connections in Oracle 9i/10g through a Java application?
1.Using separate schema s for various type users(We can store only relevant data with a particular schema. Then No. of records per table can be reduced by replicating tables but we have to maintain all data with a another schema Then we need update two schema s for a given session.Because we maintain separate scheama for a one user and another schema for all data and then there may be Updating problems)
OR
2. Using single schema for all users.
Note: All users may access the same tables and there may be lot of records than previous case.
What is the Best case.
Please give Your valuable ideas

It is a true but i want a solution from you all.I want you to tell me how to fix my friends car.

What's the better order to install OEM + AS + DB

Hi everbody.
What's the better order to install on RHEL4 Update2:
- Enterprise Manager Control Grid (10gR2)
- Database (10gR2)
- Application Server (10gR3)
And about the $ORACLE_HOME?? How to? Each instalation have a separate $ORACLE_HOME??
Tks!

Rafael,
Save the Grid Control as the last installation. The order of Database and Application Server doesn't matter, however I would personally install the database first.
Please read all Installation Guides' before starting any installations, and follow all pre-requisites stated for RHEL4.
The Installation Guide's states that all products must be installed in separate ORACLE_HOME. As a matter of fact, the Oracle Installer doesn't allow installing any of these products into an existing ORACLE_HOME.
Regards,
Martin

What are the best approaches for mapping re-start in OWB?

What are the best approaches for mapping re-start in OWB?
We are using OWB repository 10.2.0.1.0 and OWB client 10.2.0.1.31. The Oracle version is 10 G (10.2.0.3.0). OWB is installed on Linux.
We have number of mappings. We built process flows for mappings as well.
I like to know, what are the best approches to incorportate re-start options in our process. ie a failure of mapping in process flow.
How do we re-cycle failed rows?
Are there any builtin features/best approaches in OWB to implement the above?
Does runtime audit tables help us to build re-start process?
If not, do we need to maintain our own tables (custom) to maintain such data?
How did our forum members handled above situations?
Any idea ?
Thanks in advance.
RI

Hi RI,
How many mappings (range) do you have in a process flows?Several hundreds (100-300 mappings).
If we have three mappings (eg m1, m2, m3) in process flow. What will happen if m2 fails?Suppose mappings connected sequentially (m1 -> m2 -> m3). When m2 fails then processflow is suspended (transition to m3 will not be performed). You should obviate cause of error (modify mapping and redeploy, correct data, etc) and then repeat m2 mapping execution from Workflow monitor - open diagram with processflow, select mapping m2 and click button Expedite, choose option Repeat.
In re-start, will it run m1 again and m2 son on, or will it re-start at row1 of m2?You can specify restart point. "at row1 of m2" - I don't understand what you mean (all mappings run in Set based mode, so in case of error all table updates will rollback,
but there are several exception - for example multiple target tables in mapping without corelated commit, or error in post-mapping - you must carefully analyze results of error).
What will happen if m3 fails?Process is suspended and you can restart execution from m3.
By having without failover and with max.number of errors=0, you achieve re-cycle failed rows to zero (0).This settings guarantee existence only two return result of mapping - SUCCSES or ERROR.
What is the impact, if we have large volume of data?In my opinion for large volume Set based mode is the prefered processing mode of data processing.
With this mode you have full range enterprise features of Oracle database - parallel query, parallel DML, nologging, etc.

What are the better load/performance testing tools available for Flex Application with BlazeDS RO?

In my application is designed with Flex3, ActionScript3, BlazeDS Remote Objects.
Just i tried with OPENSTA but i cant do the dynamic parameterization in their generated scripts because the response of the calls is binary values and also we cant get the response using with SCL language.
While testing with OPENSTA with HttpService, i can do the dynamic parameterization and got the response.
can give the information about the below questions
whether we can do dynamic parameterization with OPENSTA for Flex Remote objects?
and what are the better load/performance tools available for Flex Remote Objects?

Your approach is fine, depending on how many and what type of CFCs you are talking about. If they are "singletons" - that is, only one instance of each CFC is needed to be in memory and can be reused/shared from multiple parts of your application - caching them in the application scope is common. Just make sure they are thread safe ("var" or local.* all your method variables).
You might consider taking advantage of a dependency injection framework, such as DI/1 (part of the FW/1 MVC framework), ColdSpring, or WireBox (a module of the ColdBox platform that can be used independently). They have mechanisms for handling and caching singletons. Then you wouldn't have to go to the application scope to get your CFC instances.

What is a better approach, batch or prepared statement?

Hi,
In my application, the user account property will be retrieved from DB and the last login time will be updated after a successful sign on. There are two query statements in this procedure; select and update. What is a better approach in JDBC to deal with the two queries: batch or prepared statement?
Thanks.

Hi, Duffy,
Thanks for your input.
I would like to use PreparedStatement with batch update. From my reading, however, it is not suitable to use PreparedStatement with batch update. At less, I haven't see a single example on the tutorial or article sections of this site. I am not sure the following is valid or not:
               stmt = connection.prepareStatement(INSERT_SMT_QUERY_STR);
               stmt.setLong(1, details.getRegardID());
               stmt.setLong(2, details.getWriterID());
               stmt.setInt(3, details.getVisibility());
               stmt.setString(4, details.getSubject().trim());
               stmt.setString(5, details.getContent().trim());
stmt.addBatch() <-- what goes into here?
