Strategy for International/XML App on Weblogic 6.1

Folks,
I will be architecting/developing an application as follows:
1) Support for English/Spanish Presentation
2) No Database Available
3) All site data stored in flat files or XML files
4) XML messages sent/received from third parties
5) App Server will be Weblogic 6.1
6) Use cookie to store user name, address, phone, etc...
7) Use third party Applications (via HTTP) to book reservations, map
vicinity etc...
8) Need Admin Interface to Manage Spanish/English Content9) Development will
be done on Windows 2000, Deployment on Solaris
I would appreciate your experiences/ideas about the best way to Architect
this application.
Here are some things I've been thinking...
1) We will Struts!!!
2) Use ApplicationResources file to contain all presentation strings
3) Is Log4J better than servletcontext.log()?
4) Use SSL to transfer user credit card info
5) Use JDOM/Digester to work with XML messages
6) How to service XML (XML-RPC, Weblogic Services, Message Beans, Struts
Actions via HTTP)???
7) Which struts features can I use for Cookies? logic:present for testing,
what about setting?
8) I'm comfortable with DTDs, should I use schemas instead?9) Can I even use
EJBs (Session or Message Beans) without DB support?
Your ideas will be appreciated...
Thanks,
Robert Jackson

IPad functions locked for International users - Apps

Applications on my new iPad do not work - it shows there are 'App' updates for me to download but if I click this icon on iPad I get 'Cannot connect to App Store, The App Store is not supported in this country' http://twitpic.com/1dwshs http://twitpic.com/1dwtsv
Using iBook & other apps was a fundamental reason for buying my IPad - why am I locked out because I'm in AUS?
How can this be resolved?

Exactly. The iPad has not been released internationally so there will not be support at this time. However, I do know people who just purchased iPads and are using them overseas. The trick is the have an American credit card and register your iTunes account in the U.S. iTunes store. That way no matter where you are in the world, your account will be an American iTunes account and you will have unlimited access to what the U.S. store offers.
Hope that helped.

Issue while accessing deployed web-app on Weblogic 10.3.5

We have deployed a web app on Weblogic server 10.3.5 as a WAR file. The deployment looks fine and application is in "Active" state. However when we try to access the application it fails to detect the Struts tags and gives following error -
weblogic.servlet.jsp.CompilationException: Failed to compile JSP /view/login/login.jsp
login.jsp:4:1: Type mismatch: cannot convert from Tag to JspTag
*<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtm*
*l1-transitional.dtd">*
*^---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*
*<title><s:property value="customerLoginContentVO.pageTitle" /> Dashboard</title>*
------^
I looks like it doesn't get the Struts libraries. We have included the Struts libraries in WEB-INF/lib of the web app and set prefer-web-inf-classes to true in weblogic.xml. Why is it that it is able to find the jars to deploy but not to access the application.
One alternate method suggested is to have package the war into a ear and provide the mapping for struts libraries as prefer-application-packages in weblogic-application.xml. But we think creating a ear just for library load in not a right approach & we are definitely missing something.
Any help on this issue will be appreciated.
Thanks,

WLS 10.3.5 (and some versions before that too, one of the 10.3.x releases changed this) should also support prefer-application-packages. It doesn't appear as though the documentation has been updated to reflect that.
Needs updating:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E21764_01/web.1111/e13712/weblogic_xml.htm#i1075205
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12840_01/wls/docs103/programming/classloading.html#wp1098468
I'll file a documentation bug.
In the meantime, you can see that it is there in the XSD:
http://xmlns.oracle.com/weblogic/weblogic-web-app/1.2/weblogic-web-app.xsd
which is linked to from here:

XML Parsing in Weblogic

Hi all,
Am releatively new to weblogic and am migrating my web app from the tomcat container to weblogic 9.2
I use a XerxesImpl jar to parse my XML using a DOMParser and I dont want to use any libraries provided by weblogic atleast now!!
It always gives the SAXParserException, but the same bit of code works fine with the tomcat container.
I have also checked for the well-formedness of the xml and the xml and the dtd looks fine.
Any inputs on this would help!
Thnx
Cyrus

The solution to this being that ---
1. Whenever using the local jar file for any XML parsing such as XerxesImpl.jar the weblogic provided services may try to override it and hence must be added on to the classpath before the ap[plication is deployed.
2.Also that somtimes the pageContext.getServletContext() returns a null and hence some other means mustbe found to find the corresponding xml file.(probably loading it as an initparam)
3. Also make sure that your xml matches the dtd declarations since atomcat container doesnt validate this but the weblogic container.

OneDrive for Business sync app when using Office 2010

Hi,
My clients use Office 2010. They all have SharePoint Workspace installed as well, thought, they don't use it.
As part of new SharePoint 2013 on-premise roll-out, I have to find a method to silently install OneDrive for Business into clients machines, without disruption to the use of Office 2010. They will use OneDrive for business to sync their team sites libraries
and their personal site library.
So far, I have no success.
What I tried:
-Standalone OneDrive Pro client exe Setup.x86.en-us_GrooveRetail_3V9N8-W93CC-FQPB8-Y9WVF-TVGJ3_TX_PR_.exe
It seems there is no way to run it silently anyway. Is there?
basically, this package still connects to the internet to download modules and it prompts user for some interaction while installing. I NEED IT SILENT.
-Building OCT package out of Office 2013 installation media. I selected to only install Groove(OneDrive) and leave existing Office product intact. Then I run it from setup.exe /adminfile //location/onlygroove.MSP
It provisions SkyDrive Pro client (note the name, I used Office 2013 without SP1 media)
Problems with that:
1.After installing Office 2013 SP1, client name is still SkyDrive Pro 2013, but sync folder actually changed, some other user interface places are also updated
2.After silent run, Office 2010 experience problems: Outlook 2010 crushes on start 3 times, then it attempts to run repair, Repair will fix outlook, but it also sets SharePoint workspace as a default client for sync. Running Office 2013 repair will break
Outlook again. The solution is to uninstall SharePoint workspace, then run Office 2013 repair, then Office 2010 repair again - this way I have SkyDrive Pro as a sync app and Outlook 2010 working.
As you see, I have problems with having seamless silent OneDrive for Business sync app installation. Even asking clients to install it manually would be too hard for them. Annoying thing is that if you click the exe file to run, it takes about 2 minutes
before user sees anything happening on a screen. I can see users getting confused if they actually initiated a process of not!
What am I missing ?
Any other way to provision it in bulk to my users? Any help appreciated.

I think we're all waiting on Microsoft to (quickly) address this. Its unacceptable.
It is seriously unacceptable, and I am having the same problems. Even running tests locally and I am a domain admin, I come across admin permission errors. I have tried amending the config file and creating a new one (onedrive_download.xml), creating a new
folder as a temp test and running the OneDrive for Business pack (extracted). These are the errors I get (on my own admin PC).

Excel output for the xml publisher report when it is [b]scheduled [/b]

How to get the excel output for the xml publisher report when it is scheduled by a apps user? Like what is the user profile option (for the apps user who runs the report) and what are the other things that needs to be taken care of so that only this xml publisher report run by this apps user produces a EXCEL output (When scheduled) ???
Really appreciate it if any one can help me in this regards.
Thanks
Munna

Hi Munna,
For eBusiness Suite (apps user) the report output is stored the same way whether executed immediately or scheduled.,To get excel set the options > output format to Excel. Only the user that submitted the report can view it, or you can get the output file from the server. Or you can set the notify option so that a Workflow Notification is sent when the request completes.

Gareth

Load balancing and HA for office web apps server Lync 2013

Hi,
I have 12000 users, 3 FE servers in a pool, 2 edge server in a pool, HA required, IM/presence, A/V, WEb conferencing required. plan to have 2 office web apps server a farm with HA, below are my queries
1. which type of load balancing i need....DNS or HLB for office web app servers? if its HLB then is it mandatory?
2. i have already 2 HLB for FE pool .. one for externa url , one for internal URL...can i use the same HLB for office web app servers ?
3. one more question regarding EDGE pool load balancing, can i use the same HLB in EDge pool also that i am using for FE pool?

Hi,
1. which type of load balancing i need....DNS or HLB for office web app servers? if its HLB then is it mandatory?
WebApps runs on https and you cannot load balance http traffic using DNS load balancing. you need to have a HLB.
2. i have already 2 HLB for FE pool .. one for externa url , one for internal URL...can i use the same HLB for office web app servers ?
you can use the same HLB for that
3. one more question regarding EDGE pool load balancing, can i use the same HLB in EDge pool also that i am using for FE pool?
for that one, you probably need a separate HLB.

What is your strategy for form validation when using MVC pattern?

This is more of a general discussion topic and will not necessarily have a correct answer. I'm using some of the Flex validator components in order to do form validation, but it seems I'm always coming back to the same issue, which is that in the world of Flex, validation needs to be put in the view components since in order to show error messages you need to set the source property of the validator to an instance of a view component. This again in my case seems to lead to me duplicating the code for setting up my Validators into several views. But, in terms of the MVC pattern, I always thought that data validation should happen in the model, since whether or not a piece of data is valid might be depending on business rules, which again should be stored in the model. Also, this way you'd only need to write the validation rules once for all fields that contain the same type of information in your application.
So my question is, what strategies do you use when validating data and using an MVC framework? Do you create all the validators in the views and just duplicate the validator if the exact same rules are needed in some other view, or do you store the validators in the model and somehow reference them from the views, changing the source properties as needed? Or do you use some completely different strategy for validating forms and showing error messages to the user?

Thanks for your answer, JoshBeall. Just to clarify, you would basically create a subclass of e.g. TextInput and add the validation rules to that? Then you'd use your subclass when you need a textinput with validation?
Anyway, I ended up building sort of my own validation framework. Because the other issue I had with the standard validation was that it relies on inheritance instead of composition. Say I needed a TextInput to both check that it doesn't contain an empty string or just space characters, is between 4 and 100 characters long, and follows a certain pattern (e.g. allows only alphanumerical characters). With the Flex built in validators I would have to create a subclass or my own validator in order to meet all the requirements and if at some point I need another configuration (say just a length and pattern restriction) I would have to create another subclass which duplicates most of the rules, or I would have to build a lot of flags and conditional statements into that one subclass. With the framework I created I can just string together different rules using composition, and the filter classes themselves can be kept very simple since they only need to handle a single condition (check the string length for instance). E.g. below is the rule for my username:
library["user_name"] = new EmptyStringFilter( new StringLengthFilter(4,255, new RegExpFilter(/^[a-z0-9\-@\._]+$/i) ) );
<code>library</code> is a Dictionary that contains all my validation rules, and which resides in the model in a ValidationManager class. The framework calls a method <code>validate</code> on the stored filter references which goes through all the filters, the first filter to fail returns an error message and the validation fails:
(library["user_name"] as IValidationFilter).validate("testuser");
I only need to setup the rule once for each property I want to validate, regardless where in the app the validation needs to happen. The biggest plus of course that I can be sure the same rules are applied every time I need to validate e.g. a username.
The second part of the framework basically relies on Chris Callendar's great ErrorTipManager class and a custom subclass of spark.components.Panel (in my case it seemed like the reasonable place to put the code needed, although perhaps extending Form would be even better). ErrorTipManager allows you to force open a error tooltip on a target component easily. The subclass I've created basically allows me to just extend the class whenever I need a form and pass in an array of inputs that I want to validate in the creationComplete handler:
validatableInputs = [{source:productName, validateAs:"product_name"},
                     {source:unitWeight, validateAs:"unit_weight", dataField:"value"},
               {source:unitsPerBox, validateAs:"units_per_box", dataField:"value"},
                    {source:producer, validateAs:"producer"}];
The final step is to add a focusOut handler on the inputs that I want to validate if I want the validation to happen right away. The handler just calls a validateForm method, which in turn iterates through each of the inputs in the validatableInputs array, passing a reference of the input to a suitable validation rule in the model (a reference to the model has been injected into the view for this).
Having written this down I could probably improve the View side of things a bit, remove the dependency on the Panel component and make the API easier (have the framework wire up more of the boilerplate like adding listeners etc). But for now the code does what it needs to.

What is SAP's strategy for XSI (Express Shipping Interface)?

We are investigating if we can use SAP XSI for parcel tracking with DHL. We like the idea of having an integrated tracking solution that we can call from SO, PO, delivery note and shipment. However, I found information on the internet related to XSI versus UPS telling me UPS is no longer supporting new implementations of SAP. Does somebody know why they stopped supporting XSI? See URL below for all details:
http://sap.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/sap-log-sd/vtrc-xsi-and-interface-into-ups-3265707
According to this discussion XSI is not the direction SAP is going with transportation in the future. Event Management is the solution for tracking. Their recommendation is to use XML API's from carriers instead like e.g. TrackIT from DHL? Does somebody know whether this information is reliable or not?
Does somebody have information about SAP's strategy for XSI ? Is it worthwhile spending time on configuring XSI for DHL tracking or does somebody have better or other options?
We are aiming for as less custom changes as possible.
kind regards,

Java.sql.SQLException:ORA-01801:date format is too long for internal buffer

Hi,
I am getting the following exception when i trying to insert data in to a table through a stored procedure.
oracle.apps.fnd.framework.OAException: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01801: date format is too long for internal buffer
when execute this stored procedure from ana anonymous block , it gets executed successfully, but i use a OracleCallableStatement to execute the procedure i am getting this error.
Please let me know how to resolve this error.
Is this error something to do with the Database Configuration ?
Thanks & Regards
Meenal

I don't know if this will help, but we were getting this error in several of the standard OA framework pages and after much pain and aggravation it was determined that visiting the Sourcing Home Page was changing the timezone. For most pages this just changed the timezone that dates were displayed in, but some had this ORA-01801 error and some others had an ORA-01830 error (date format picture ends before converting entire input string). Unfortunately, if you are not using Sourcing at your site, this probably won't help, but if you are, have a look at patch # 4519817.
Note that to get the same error, try the following query (I got this error in 9.2.0.5 and 10.1.0.3):
select to_date('10-Mar-2006', 'DD-Mon-YYYY________________________________________________HH24:MI:SS') from dual;
It appears that you can't have a date format that is longer than 68 characters.

Anyone have a Snow Leopard Upgrade strategy for their Audio Production...

Hi All. I have arrived at a place where I need to do a fresh OS install. I am thinking it is a good time to upgrade to SL. Like many people I not only have GarageBand (my main DAW) but a range of free and paid 3rd party apps, Jam Packs, DL'd loops, Drivers and a library of projects (mostly unfinished hehe..). What is the current wisdom or strategy for people in this situation to make this kind of transition and not break anything? Thanks.

If you choose to do a completely fresh install (including re-installing all software programs), GB's critical components are:
• the Loop Library (HD/Library/Audio/Apple Loops)
• the Instrument Library (HD/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument
• Midi Drivers, Midi Devices, Plug-Ins (all under their names in HD/Library/Audio)
For all these folders, there's a corresponding one in your User Library. Stuff goes there if you have checked that it is only available for the current user when you installed/saved it.

Why can't i get the straight talk international calling app if i live in canada?

i've tried to download the straight talk international calling app to use in the U.S but can't as ihave a canadian itunes account. when i try to download it itunes re-directs me to the U.S site.
it says i haven't used my i.d on U.S itunes before so i have to review my account details. there is a button to click to pay with paypal, i changed the primary funding to U.S dollars, but it still won't let me download it.
any ideas? thanks......

True. But it is an illogical incongruency in the TOS which I'm not about to get into. My only two comments:
1. The "transaction" occurs in the place where you have your account as you need a CC and address in the country where the store is located.
2. The "portability" of the apps might be restricted, as it could be against the TOS to say: update apps while you are out of your "home" country or buy a tourist guide app for London whilst in London (away from "home").
I guess lawyers will have an eventual field day sorting this out.
My reason for my "nope" was not on TOS terms but whether Apple "physically" restricted the dowloadbility of apps while you were away from "home".

What kind of approach for new XML-based clients

Hi.
Our firm is using Oracle-technology everywhere, and now we would
like to find out what kind of XML-based technology would suit us
best for a new generation of our products.
Our products are now using old Forms 3-clients and we're doing a
research on replacing this technology with Internet-based
clients. Java-clients are one option, but now we'd really like
to know about thin-clients which wouldn't have much code run on
the server. We have already done extranet-clients with OAS
PL/SQL-cartridges and have found out that HTML-clients require
much work and can't have too much logic on them.
So, we have already OAS running on Oracle 8.0.5.1.0 -server and
would like to know what kind of XML-strategy would be a
reasonable solution. I know about these tools: XML Parser for
xx, XML SQL Utility for Java, XSQL Servlet.
-But what would be a reasonable combination of these and what
kind of thin-client could we use? XSL?
-What kind of development tools could we use for clients (or do
we have to use text-editors)?
-Which of these tools require Oracle 8i and is it stupid to even
think about XML-based applications without Oracle 8i?
