Spotlight problems: where should mdimporters be?

I see that others are having problems now, too, after the 4.5 upgrade.
After installing, the Office 11.2.3 upgrade I was having a **** of a time getting my home computer to find Entourage messages through Spotlight. After trying many things, someone helped me by pointing out that the mdimporter plugins should be in the System/Library/Spotlight folder, not the Library/Spotlight folder, voila!
Now for other applications I noticed the same thing, including Apple apps. So, where should the mdimporter plugins ultimately be? Does this have anything to do with the recent 4.5 upgrade?
I love the cuss word filter here! 1984 is a bit like 1984, no?
Thanks in advance.

Generally speaking the /System/Library is reserved by Apple for Apple's own system level installed goodies. The /Library folder is what should be used by things installed by a user's programs. Thus my /Library/Spotlight folder sports the following program mdimporters:
AppleWorks.mdimporter
Keynote.mdimporter
Microsoft Office.mdimporter
Pages.mdimporter
While the /System/Library/Spotlight folder has these:
Application.mdimporter
Audio.mdimporter
Bookmarks.mdimporter
Chat.mdimporter
Font.mdimporter
iCal.mdimporter
Image.mdimporter
iPhoto.mdimporter
Mail.mdimporter
PDF.mdimporter
PS.mdimporter
QuartzComposer.mdimporter
QuickTime.mdimporter
RichText.mdimporter
SystemPrefs.mdimporter
vCard.mdimporter
So for program importers think /Library, for Apple's own deeper level ones think /System.

An automatic update arrived and installed itself but then told me it was incompatible with my version of Mac: 10.5.8. Firefox version 3.6.26 is on it now. It seems to work the same. Is there going to be a problem or should I ignore that message?

If I must replace it where do I get an older version?
Thanks

Abdetu..

Hello Gerd,
Thanks for reply..
put such things into *a reference form* what is meant by a reference form do u mean the main form?
Create a property class (PC) for your FORM-MODULE-properties,
put this PC into the reference form.
Create there an object group (OG), put the PC into the OG and the inherit the OG to your local form.
Automatically you have then the PC inherited too.i did all what u mentioned..
Bbut the problem is that the DEFAULT&SMARTBAR
can't be seen in allllllllllll my forms in the main menu inspite of i put it into the form module property ->in the intial menu property.

For WebLogic 5.1, where should I put my class files for my JavaBeans?

With JBuilder4, I have built an application with JSP and a few Java Beans (Those JavaBeans are instantiated in those JSP files). There are no EJBs. The package name is called 'onlinetrade'. I have tested the application on JBuilder's web server, it works pretty well.
Now I am moving this application to WegLogic 5.1. I have encountered a problem with WebLogic 5.1
and do not know where I should place my JavaBean class files --
Originally, the JSP files for my application are in package path-- ..onlinetrade\jsp
and the class files for my beans are in the package path -- ..onlinetrade\jsp\bean\*.class
Now, with WebLogic 5.1,
1) I have put my JSP files in
C:\weblogic\myserver\public_html\onlinetrade\jsp
2) I have created subdirectory and put my bean class files in
C:\weblogic\myserver\classfiles\onlinetrade\jsp\bean
When I started weblogic and the first page - login.jsp page can be up and accessed. But when I login and forward to another JSP page called 'controller.jsp', where a bean is instantiated, I got the following error
Compilation of 'C:\weblogic\myserver\classfiles\jsp_servlet\_onlinetrade\_jsp\__controller.java' failed:
C:\weblogic\myserver\classfiles\jsp_servlet\_onlinetrade\_jsp\__controller.java:210: cannot access jsp_servlet._onlinetrade._jsp.registerBean
probably occurred due to an error in /onlinetrade/jsp/controller.jsp line 53:
registerBean registerBeanInstance = new registerBean();
I know the javac is working, and a java file is created upon the JSP page, but the problem is -- the bean class files cannot be found!!!
Where should I create the package path and put my bean class file so that my JSP pages can pick them up?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

Can i use microsoft office on my macbook pro and from where should i download it?

can i use microsoft office on my macbook pro and from where should i download it?

I don't use Office myself so can't really offer advice. I don't recall seeing your issue before. Maybe someone who uses Office will be able to help.
As this thread is marked as solved it won't get the attention your query warrants. It would be a good idea to start your own thread discussing the problem - I'm sure someone here will offer the right advice/help.
Make sure you note what Mac your have and what version of OS X you are running.

Where should i store application configurations?

Hello all,
i have a little problem. I read a lot of posts in this forum with the same problem, but no anser was satisfiable for me. Where should i store application configurations? For example, where can i store error descriptions (text) for errors with a special id. There is no way to do it in the webconatiner, because the ejb's should log their errors. File I/O operations are forbidden by the specification, so the use of ResourceBundles with propertie files should be forbidden, too, isn't it? Is there another way than storing the error description in a database?
I hope you can unstand my question and someone have a solution for my problem.
thanks & regards
Ren� G.

You can use an entity bean with your configuration.

Where should i include my conn.close() command

Hi,
My code frequently fetches data from database, so i created a class like this
public class ConnectToDatabase { /*            public ConnectToDatabase()                 {                                 Connection conn;                 } */ public ResultSet selectS(String userQuery) throws Exception { String userName = "root"; String userPassword = "gal"; String databaseUrl = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test"; Class.forName ("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"); Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection (databaseUrl, userName, userPassword); String query = userQuery; Statement S=conn.createStatement(); ResultSet RS=S.executeQuery(query);                                 //conn.close;    ( "a" ) return RS;                                 //conn.close;    (" b ") } /*              public void closeConnection()                 {                                 conn.close;                 } */ }
and from the main code i make call as given below (it works fine)
ConnectToDatabase CTD=new ConnectToDatabase(); ResultSet result=CTD.selectS(String userQuery); //CTD.closeConnection();
Now my problem is
1) If try to give "conn.close()" before "return RS;"(marked by "a") It will show error (RS cannot be fetched after closing connectio)
2) If write conn.close after return it wont be executed (ofcourse - unreachable statement) ( "b" )
3) If use "CTD.closeConnection();" it gives errror saying that "cannot find conn(in closeConnection()) " i dont know why constructor is not loaded.(rest of commented lines when uncommented)
Where should i use conn.close statement? I dont want any change in my return type or parameters...

I used like this
public class ConnectToDatabase
   Connection conn;
   public ResultSet selectS(String userQuery,String[] userInput,int inputNumber )
       //code to select
   public void closeC()
       conn.close();
}and from main class
ConncetToDatabase CTD=new ConnectToDatabase();
ResultSet RS=CTD.selectS(x,y,z) ;
CTD.closeC();

Unless it has worked since the upgrading, I believe you should uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

just make sure your CLASSPATH includes cloudscape.jar. Not just the path, but also the jar filename.
There is also a jre/lib/ext path in your java installation where you can dump your jar file so it will automatically be seen when you run your program.

A Folder "Apple Security_files" is on my desktop. where should I move it?

I have a powerbook G4 running OS X 10.4.6. I also have OS X 10.2.7 on an external hard drive. This is because my Epson perfection 3170 scanner will not work with 10.4 but did work with 10.2 and I'm trying (unsucessfully) to use it.
(But that is another topic) A folder named Apple Security_Files which has 13 gif files, 1 css file (default.css), and 5 png files (a.png thru a_005png) in it. I'm not sure if this folder came out of my 10.4 librays somewhere or my 10.2 library somewhere. It is the only folder with this name that spotlight finds on my system. WHERE SHOULD I MOVE IT TO TO GET IT OFF THE DESKTOP?
Thanks
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Not sure about the name "Apple Security_Files" - but here's a breakdown of the file formats you've noted:
gif = picture/image file
css = "style-sheet" for web page design
png = macromedia fireworks document
If I had to guess... this looks like some part of a web design project.
Hope this helps!

Where should I place my preloaders?

Hi all,
Would like to seek advice on where should I place the
preloaders.
I have a banner swf, menu swf, main content swf, and intro
swf. where should i load the preloader? on the main MC that will be
calling these swf? or each swf have their own preloader? that would
look rather weird.
Of should I just merged banner, menu, main content and intro
altogether? How do i do that? I am lost as to should I separate
them out or put all eggs in 1 nest. My main content will have
transitions between each sections.
since my menu is separate from the main content, how do I
point them to get the main content to change section whenever user
click on 1 sections?
I am so lost. Please advise. Thanks

Hey X, sorry I haven't responded of late, working elsewhere.
Let me address some of the questions you've had above.
1) I'm very sorry, I see that I missed that assignment when I
typed this out, within the loadFile function the correct call
should be: mcl.loadClip(src, clip);
2)the code is AS2, and yes it is legal coding. first, we're
setting up parameters for our function here, and then we pass them
this information when we call the method that we've set up, so that
we can 'feed' information to the function that then uses it to
perform it's job. the variable declarations in this case here are
called 'strict typing' (ie. src:String, file:String, ...) and it's
just a way to define variables of a particular 'type', it isn't
necessary to follow the variable names with the type declaration,
but I thought that I would include it here so that it made sense to
you and so that you could see what type of variables need to be
passed to the function. the varaibles MUST be passed to the
function in the order that they are listed.
3) yes you've got this all right :) The onLoadInit handler
fires when the loaded clip becomes instantiated on the timeline
(eg. available), previous to this point you could NOT say something
like 'clip.gotoAndPlay(10);' because the loading clip was not yet
available for the call, and it would fail. So you can use this
handler to tell the loaded clip to 'do something' if you need this
type of functionality, like say for instance that you need the
loaded swf to go to a certain 'page' depending on what button the
user pressed, this handler would be a way for you to pass that
informtion along, and tell the loaded clip to goto the correct
position, handy ;)
As to the last question in 3, I touched on that above, my bad
4) I was just talking about the name of the swf file being
called 'dummy'.
5) No, put everything in frame one, but on a different
layers. Place your preloader on the top layer, and the 'blank' MCs
(to load into) on layers below.
OK, on to your last post.
Yes, the way it's set up here the preload bar would run to
100% for each load and then start again for the next one, it also
has a text instance that tells the use what is being loaded each
time. This could all be changed, and you can certainly use you own
preloader instance, however you will need to reconstruct the method
that is handling the progress. See if you wanted ALL of the
instance your loading to equal 100% of your loader bars progress
(for the first load anyway) you can't calculate the total bytes of
all files previous to initiating the load, so you have a problem
here. One method might be to 'break up' the load and apportion the
progress indicator evenly for each item needed in the intital site
loading. what I mean by that is, if you have 4 items that are
needed to load, then each item would 'move' the progress bar by
25%, so that when 100% of the first item is loaded, the progress
bar is revealed by 25%, then the second load reveals 50%, and so
on. It will just take a little math to change the code to handle
the progressions. Now I would suggest that you NOT animate the
masking rectangle by frames, I would do this with code adjusting
the _x position of the mask by an amount that has been calculated
with the loading code. also this method will have to accomidate,
both multi-loads and singlular loads so you'll need to use another
parameter to define how the preload indicator progress is 'broken'
and into how many parts. This would end up in the math that defines
the system that controls the indicator.
OK this should be enough for you to think about for now
:)
