Support for "transient properties" in Toplink

Hi,
(JHeadstart 9.0.4.5 with Toplink)
When I add unmapped properties to the beans that are mapped through Toplink to the tables in my database, almost like transient attributes in BC4J View Objects, I run into a problem, caused by the
<code>getAttributeAsString(Locale locale,String attributeName</code> method in oracle.jheadstart.model.toplink.handler.DataObjectImpl. In 9.0.4.5, this method was modified to cater for these situations, because previously such properties resulted in NullPointerExceptions. However, the current implementation - while not throwing exceptions - does not return the value of the transient property, which I would prefer it to do.
My suggestions is to change the lines:
<code>
if (mapping==null)
mLog.error("No Toplink mapping found for attribute " + descriptorClass.getClass().getName()+"."+newName);
return "";
</code>
to:
<code>
if (mapping==null)
mLog.error("No Toplink mapping found for attribute " + descriptorClass.getClass().getName()+"."+newName);
return value;
</code>
best regards,

Lucas,
Thanks for the suggestion.
We will look into it.

  • UA support for cursor properties

    I would like a unique style for links to the articles section
    of a site and
    I was wondering if I could try a small image and if FF and IE
    would support
    that and if not, just default to the pointer image.
    I can't get them to accept an image (may have styled it
    incorrectly) - is
    there a list somewhere of browser support for cursor
    properties?
    I suppose I could use a bg image or colour, etc on the hover,
    but kinda
    liked using a small icon for the cursor instead.
    Cheers,
    Lossed
    __when the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks
    like a nail __

    tks Gary,
    Well, here goes:
    FF seems to accept many file types, including .png, .cur, and
    regular image
    filetypes, but NOT .ani.
    IE seems to accept only .cur or .ani.
    If I make a 16 x 16 cursor, FF displays it as such.
    IE blows it up to 32 x 32 (so I need to make it 32 x 32 and
    have more
    transparent area).
    FF resolves the path as per normal - relative to the position
    of the css
    file in the file heiracy.
    IE doesn't! It seems to resolve the relative path to the
    cursor image as it
    it's relative to the document the css is imported into, not
    relative to the
    css file itself.
    That is why my cursor files weren't showing in IE - when I
    change the path
    to root relative or absolute, IE shows the cursor. Just why
    it does this for
    cursor images and (thank goodness) no other images called
    from within the
    css file, I have no idea.
    And all this for just IE and FF on PC.
    How other UA's and platforms treat cursor images is unclear.

  • Toplink support for JPA vs. Toplink Essentials

    I think I read that Toplink has some support for EJB3/JPA as does Toplink Essentials.
    What is the difference in features?
    If one has a 10.1.3 app server license, should Toplink be used instead of Toplink Essentials for EJB3/JPA applications?
    Does the Mapping Workbench produce JPA object-relational mapping annotations or XML?
    Thank you.

    Hi Robert,
    I'm not sure which comments you were directing specifically to Dali vs. JDeveloper but I'll try and address them from a Dali perspective. I do want to point out that Dali is at 0.5 and so it is still under development.
    yes you get a basic 1:1 entity from your databasetables...When generating Entities from tables, Dali will generate 1:1 and 1:many relationships based on database FK constraints.
    @temporary annotations are not inserted if you have a Date oder Calendar type.Also when generating Entities from tables Dali will generate an instance variable of java.sql.Date for a database date column. java.sql.Date does not require an @Temporal annotation.
    What's missing right now is a problem marker for missing @Temporal on java.util.Date and java.util.Calendar.
    If you want to rename attributes or methods it's a lot of manual work to do... because >@Column annoations are not inserted, if they do not exist because of >dbname=attributenameThere is a bugzilla bug opened for this refactoring support. https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=136333 Fortunately in Dali if you rename a class or attribute (field/getter) and your explicit or default mappings are broken you will get a problem marking on the attribute and in the Problems view so you can fix it rather than finding out at runtime.
    generics are not inserted in the returnvalues of the methods...Generated Entities do use generics correctly e.g.:
    public class Publisher implements Serializable {
         @OneToMany(mappedBy="publisher")
         private Set<Title> titles;
         public Set<Title> getTitles() {
              return this.titles;
         public void setTitles(Set<Title> titles) {
              this.titles = titles;
    ...--Shaun                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

  • Support for HTML and CSS properties

    My biggest frustration with Acrobat Pro 9 is that it dropped support for certain HTML and/or CSS properties that were available in Acrobat Pro 8. In particular, the page-break-before attribute no longer works, nor does colspan. When I convert an HTML table with some colspans into a PDF, the table looks okay to the naked eye, but the structure behind the table (PDF tags) is incorrect.
    I can live without the page breaks, but I need colspan. I need to do this for hundreds of tables, so opening the Acrobat Table Editor and fixing the colspan by hand is not an option. A scripting/programming solution is required. Has anyone found a workaround? Does Acrobat X fix this problem?

    not trying to hijack the thread but needed some clarification
    your very short tutorial
    http://alt-web.blogspot.com/2012/11/primer-for-using-jquery-plug-ins.h tml
    was really informative. Just have a couple quick questions:
    you state:
    "the core code library which you ref in your <head> tags,"
    the below code just has to be declared ONCE at the beging in your head section, correct?
    <!-- jQuery latest core library from CDN-->
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js">
    </script>
    then any number of jquery plugin scripts can be placed in ANY order in your head section following the above code, correct?
    "the function code inside <script> tags to invoke the plug-in."
    so then in the body, does the functions code have to come RIGHT AFTER the place it is being used?
    example
    <body>
    <div class="slideshow1"
    </div>
    <!--Plug-In Function Code1-->   
    <script type="text/javascript">
    </script>
    <div class="slideshow2"
    </div>
    <!--Plug-In Function Code2-->   
    <script type="text/javascript">
    </script>
    </body>
    or can you take all the function codes and paste them in the end outside of the respective divs that are using the code?
    ie does the position of the code matter?\
    thanks guys

  • Native error code -214721788​7 0x80040e21 Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers: ODBC driver does not support the requested properties​.

    I configured MySQL in TestStand and making a query in TestStand like this:
    Command :=> "SELECT *  FROM crc_table ; " or  "SELECT CRC_Value  FROM crc_table ; " returns the total number of records without any errors.
    But when I add the "where" clause
    "SELECT crc_table.CRC_Value  FROM crc_table where crc_table.File_ID= Locals.File_ID and crc_table.Version_ID = Locals.Version_ID and crc_table.Link_ID = Locals.Link_ID; "
    I get the error as:
    Error, The following SQL command failed: 'SELECT crc_table.CRC_Value FROM crc_table where crc_table.File_ID= Locals.File_ID and crc_table.Version_ID = Locals.Version_ID and crc_table.Link_ID = Locals.Link_ID; ...'

    Thank you,

    Vidula,
    I am not completely sure if this is the cause of the error but it is something that will cause problems if it is not fixed.  In your SQL statement you must properly concatenate your strings with your variables.  In the statement you posted you were simply putting the variable names in the string, not actually pulling their values.  To do so properly your query should look something like this:
    "SELECT crc_table.CRC_Value  FROM crc_table where crc_table.File_ID='"+Locals.File_ID+"' and crc_table.Version_ID = '"+ Locals.Version_ID+"' and crc_table.Link_ID = '"+Locals.Link_ID+"' ;"
    This way we are using the values of the variables in conjunction with the text strings.  In this case the usage of single quotes (') casts the variables as strings so you may need to change this character sequence, but from the second example you gave I think that your variables are of type string so this should work fine.

  • Toplink support for Java 5.0

    I tried to import java classes, compiled with jdk 5.0
    into Toplink workbench. The mapping fails.
    I tried to run the workbench with jre 5.0 but that didn't work either.
    Does anyone know how to do it and does Toplink even have a version that supports java 5.0?

    Anna,
    TopLink 10.1.3 will offer formal support for Java 5.0. Currently the runtime should work fine with Java 5.0. The only issue may be the workbench mapping process depending on the version of TopLink you are using.
    If you are using the 10.1.3 preview the workbench will still run with JDK 1.4 but should be compatible with importing and mapping classes compiled with JDK5. We will upgrade the JRE used by the workbench to JDK5 for the production release but this should not make any difference to your ability to map JDK 1.4 or 5 classes and use either at runtime.
    If you are using 9.0.4.X then the workbench will not be able to run or import JDK5 compiled classes. I believe the runtime is fine but not certified. For this environment you will need to compile the classes under JDK 1.4 and map this version of the classes. You can then use JDK5 compiled version in conjunction with the runtime.
    I hope this helps,
    Doug

  • TopLink support for JDO?

    Hi,
    I'm new to TopLink and am wondering what the status of JDO support is in 4.6. I can see that there is a JDO example, and that the RELNOTES indicate JDO support. But the level of spec compliance and JDO specific tools in TopLink are not documented AFAIK.

    I finally found the javadocs in the TopLink 4.6 distribution. From these, plus from the examples, it seems to me that the TopLink JDO 1.0 support is partial.
    They do provide partial implementations to most of the JDO interfaces in javax.jdo package. The one exception is javax.jdo.InstanceCallbacks. What I mean by partial is that some required methods are no-ops (no operation). No-ops do nothing and return null or zero depending on their return type.
    They don't support the JDO query language. You can use their implementation of javax.jdo.Query to create a query using SQL, TopLink query language, or EJBQL.
    They don't support the enhancer. The enhancer is controversial, therefore some people see this as a good thing.
    I ran a little program to display the results of PersistenceManagerFactory.supportedOptions() for TopLink.
    SUPPORTED OPTIONS
    javax.jdo.option.NontransactionalRead
    javax.jdo.option.ArrayList
    javax.jdo.option.HashMap
    javax.jdo.option.Hashtable
    javax.jdo.option.LinkedList
    javax.jdo.option.ArrayList
    javax.jdo.option.TreeMap
    javax.jdo.option.TreeSet
    javax.jdo.option.Vector
    javax.jdo.option.Map
    javax.jdo.option.List
    javax.jdo.option.Array
    UNSUPPORTED OPTIONS
    javax.jdo.query.JDOQL
    javax.jdo.option.RestoreValues
    javax.jdo.option.NullCollection
    javax.jdo.option.NontransactionalWrite
    javax.jdo.option.TransientTransactional
    javax.jdo.option.RetainValues
    javax.jdo.option.NonDatastoreIdentity
    javax.jdo.option.Optimistic
    javax.jdo.option.DatastoreIdentity
    javax.jdo.option.ApplicationIdentity
    I'm not sure why the javax.jdo.query.JDOQL option even exists. As I understand it support for the JDOQL is mandatory, not optional. But maybe this is a versioning thing. That is, maybe JDO 2.0 will allow implementations to provide JDOQL 1.0 and/or JDOQL 2.0. Just a guess.
    Hope this helps.

  • Toplink support for DB2

    I was wondering if anyone had any experiences with Toplink's support for DB2? If I have an existing application working with Oracle, is it easy to get the application working with a DB2 database or another DBMS such as SQL Server, etc.? Obviously, the different vendors have different conformities to the SQL syntax standard, and I was wondering if Toplink took these differences into account?
    Thanks,
    Ted

    I don't know of any specific papers/docs on this.
    The nature of TopLink is supporting any app server, any ide/toolset and any Database. For example, look in the source.zip file in your lib directory for TopLink... Notice there is a DB2Platform.java file in there. If there were any specific compatibility or idiosynchracies we hadn't accounted for (but we have), you could easily do so yourself just by modifying that class. We have cusotmers using dozens and dozens of different database variants just by using and modifying any of the Platform code provided...

  • Does BC4J works as ORM (eg: Toplink) to support for MSQL Server / Oracle DB

    Hi,
    My current product is running on Struts 1.1, Apache Cocoon(for reports generation), JDBC & MS SQL Server environment.
    To provide the more flexibility & user friendliness to the application I have a proposal for the re-development of the application with ADF 11g.
    But the main concern here is, the current product is running on MS Sql Server DB, now the product team has a future plan to migrate it to Oracle Database. In view of this DB migration, the frame work/environment that I choose for the re-development must support for very less code changes (at least from the Application Business logic/Queries prospective)
    Here I have two options for the re-development
    1. ADF 11g + Top-link (ORM) + MS Sql Server / Oracle DB
    2. ADF 11g + BC4J + MS Sql Server / Oracle DB
    Plz suggest me, out of these two options which one suits for my requirement & better in performance too

  • No script engine supported for 'JScript' error in OBIEE 11G ibots

    Infrastructure: 64 bit OBIEE 11.1.1.5 on 64 bit Red-Hat Enterprise Linux 5.6
    We tried using *.java to export the delivery content of an 'Agent' and place it in a shared folder on Windows.
    We are able to use the .java file directly in putty and it works fine in creating a folder and copying the file from source to target, but when we put the same script as part of the actions in the 'Agent' properties, its fails with the error "[nQSError: 66023] No script engine supported for 'JScript'". The e-mail is triggered and the attachment is delivered fine.
    We tried the same with a *.js file. The error is the same. I found people using *.js scripts and they say it worked for them at Re: How to send the content of an agent (PDF Report) to local machine in 11g
    But I am not sure what are the other settings that should be done. The error seems very basic and fundamental and has something to do with java interpreter or something.
    Any help if you have implemented the same, would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    That example in the link shows creating an action at the end of 'Agent'. I am not sure if that is what the user meant by 'create an action'. If the user meant to create an 'action', how does and where we call that action at the end of an 'Agent'?
    I did try creating an action by updating the 'UserScript.js' file, but the moment i update the file with a custom function, the server doesnot recognise the UserScript.js file anymore and i cannot even use the default functions in UserScript.js file.

  • SOLVED - BIOS UPDATE "SYSTEM DOES NOT CONTAIN the NECESSARY WMI SUPPORT for this VERSION of HPQflash

    If you get infamous error when updating HP Portables (laptops/notebooks/ netbooks) BIOS within Windows:
    "SYSTEM DOES NOT CONTAIN THE NECESSARY WMI SUPPORT FOR THIS VERSION OF HPQFLASH":
    I am posting a solution found for own business laptop (HP 8540W & 8760W) so WebSearch engines index/register it in a few days - future sufferers come here and get a SOLUTION, finally.  Disreagrd previous "experts" advises, they don't work 100% & pity on TechSupport folks who get HP paychecks yet don't know products their co. designs/manufactures (on deep Technical level):
    Below is a SOLUTION (WORKING) !
    Go into Services (Run "services.msc" or get there thru ControlPanel-->AdminTools-->), find following 2 services ==> make sure they're running, chances are they're NOT (as in my case I keep them disabled unless need running):
    1) "HP Software Framework"
    2) "HP Service" [no typo - a real plain name]
    If not running, set Properties-->Manual and click "Start", make sure both are running.
    Rerun BIOS updater, choose option for "Within Windows" or something to that effect (using HPQ/ROMpaq updater), rather than "create USB BootDisk on Key", this time it should work without the hassle of a BootDisk creation.
    Should work from within Windows environment.
    Notes:
    a) Likely only one (1) service is responsible - namely "HP Software Framework" for HPQ Updater to fail, but doesn't hurt to reenable/restart both services.
    I in fact am responding to other customers who elect to Update BIOS within Windows, perhaps oldfashioned but to me Boot Updater is more natural & always works regardless of WMI Support.
    b) After done, don't forget:
    *) Recheck BIOS settings - update may've added new and/or changed old, so rescan tobe sure.
    **) Go BACK into Windows-->Services.msc & redisable both aforementioned Services if were originally disabled; or you're a computer Pro, you know what you're doing & like me keep all HP services disabled.  The ones we got on EliteBook 8760W are pests consuming system resources, you just enable "Software Framework" when occasional issues emerge with HP softupdate (typically no issues) & redisable after use, rest of services are bloatware - some attempt to overrun Windows Wireless console, some seekout HP Networked printers (Ethernet, Wireless, but not USB), some do this & that - I study/know which one does what and decided to disable all. This is called a "minimalist" philosophy & turns your machine into a fast beast, I recently sold a very obsolete 4-year laptop which however handles 3DMCAD & complex designs/simulations, better new machines out fo a store, as new machines are loaded w/bloatware chocking down resources.
    BUT nobody is requiring you to disable anything though.
    The solution merely states the fact:
    These 2 (or 1) services when not running halt BIOS Update "within Windows" (you can still run "BootDisk option", however, if preferred).
    Simply restartung them solves your problem.  Usually
    Ya'll have a good day and enjoy!
    ===========
    BELOW ARE IMPORTANT WARNINGS:
    1) IF YOUR BIOS UPDATE STILL FAILS, SOME OTHER PIECE IN WMI SUPPORT IS MISSING - IN MY CASE WAS THESE 2 SERVICES, BUT THERE'S REMOTE POSSIBILITY SOMETHING ELSE MIGHT BLOCK UPDATER.  DON'T WASTE TIME & CHOOSE "USB/BootDisk" options instead
    2) Once BIOS updater does its job, will ask to auto-restart - let it go on & complete, it will self-shutdown (click "Next" to skip 60-second timer), then do NOT turn it on manually!, wait - it'll turn on by itself in 15 seconds, let it boot into Windows, you're done!
    3) WARNING: close other apps before proceeding, be 100% sure your ACpower won't be interrupted or better yet - make sure battery is in/charged (so if ACpower accidentally disconnects, you're autoswitched onto battery) b/c power loss may result in severe damage to internal hardware.  In the old days it'd result in fatal damage, these days powerloss would still result in a major repair (ROM chip corruption).
    So to summarize: those 2 services I specified, are often responsible for whether HPQ/ROMpaq will or won't run.
    Other causes possible, but I've not witnessed; and if so - choose BootDisk option.

    Hello Ceramics.
    Your ProBook is an Enterprise model.  It would be a good idea to also post your question to the HP Business Boards as those forums deal specifically with that kind of product.  Here is a link.
    Have a great day!

  • Adobe recommends: Enhanced support for CSS3 in Dreamweaver CS5.5

    Over  the past week, we publicized some high-value content from adobe.com and other community sites. Hopefully you enjoyed these posts and found the resources useful. Today is our last day of the "Adobe Recommends" series.
    Continuing our trip along the CSS highway, we now move to CSS3 with our next recommendation, by Preran Kurnool:
    Enhanced support for CSS3 in Dreamweaver CS5.5
    This blog post takes you through using box shadow, text shadow, border radius, and border image properties in Dreamweaver CS5.5.

    No need to apologize. Preprocessing is a topic on which there are differing opinions. You have one. I have one. There are advocates:
    http://blog.urbaninsight.com/2012/04/12/ten-reasons-you-should-be-using-css-preprocessor
    There are those who are not sold:

    There are those mostly sold:

    There are even those who have been converted (but who might reverse at some later point):
    http://cognition.happycog.com/article/preprocess-this
    Heck, even I might be converted someday - or not
    Bottom line for me, right now? I know I can write CSS that is better than most, more efficient than most, and easier to follow than most, and a preprocessor would add unwanted complexity. But that's for me. For someone not able to be organized intutively, or for a large - but carefully coordinated - team, a preprocessor could be a positive.
    But not for me.
    There are evolving trends - popular aspects of the technology that may and should find themselves being adapted into CSS. But I've been around this business as long as CSS has. I've seen buzzwords and trends and I've historically been spot-on in predicting the one that will stick. I think preprocessing will stick - but only insofar as it will be a catalyst for features in future versions of CSS. As a separate technology it makes no sense - to me
