Technology and training suggestions for data gathering app

Can anyone suggest some technologies and/or support to get us started on a mid-sized handheld effort?
Specifically, we're starting a project to build a handheld (WinCE-based) app which will allow users to fill out a short form and gather a GPS reading and perhaps a camera snapshot to accompany the form data. This data will later be imported into our J2EE app.
We have almost no handheld experience and don't know what technologies to evaluate, or what consulting expertise to set up to help start the team.
Many thanks for your help!

Hi Adam,
I'd suggest to implement it in a way that will be the fastest to deliver
working code, except the case when the main purpose of the project
is teaching you EJB, Weblogic and J2EE.
For this particular problem that could a session bean making
direct JDBC calls. It's just 5 lines of code...

I'm new to the WebLogic arena, and we're launching a new portal. We'vegot a portlet
that I want to query a SQL Server database for three records (specificallyonly one
column for the three records, that I want to concatenate). This data isupdated
approximately every four hours via an outside admin tool.
Looking for suggestions for the best way to implement this.
We don't need to constantly query this data, but it may also be overkillto persist
this data in a full entity EJB. I began to write a read-only entity EJBthat I figure
I could specify it's refresh interval in the deployment descriptor. Isthere a better
way? In a previous app, we were simply querying the database, storing astring (~1000
characters) in an application scope in memory, along with a date variable,and for
each user just checking the date variable. If the date was over fourhours ago,
we requeried the database with a component call (Microsoft COM). I'dprefer to reduce
even the RMI lookup for the bean if I can, but I don't think I grasp quiteenough
about the EJB pooling mechanism -- this might not be an issue.
Could I do this in a stateless session bean more efficiently?
We're running WLS6.1sp2 in a dev environ with Portal4.0sp2. (But upgradingto sp3
soon.)
Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!

  • Anybody know where I can find tutorials and training materials for Adobe Output Designer

    Hi everybody,
    I am a graphic / web designer and newly appointed on a project requiring Adobe Output Designer skills. Now, I've already searched in a lot of places: but still couldn't find a reliable source of tutorials and training materials for Adobe Output Designer.
    Can anybody help?

    The DJI cameras were first supported in ACR 8.3 and more support added in ACR 8.4:
    Lens profile support | Lightroom 5, 4, 3 | Photoshop CS6, CS5 | Camera Raw 8, 7, 6
    You will need PS-CS6 or PS-CC or PSE12 with current updates on OSX 10.7.x or Windows 7+ to use this version of ACR.
    However, even if you have an older version of PS or older OS, if you can install the Adobe DNG Converter, you can copy these lens profiles to the User's lens profile folder and they might be seen.  I can give more specific instructions about doing this if you are unable to update PS's ACR to 8.3/8.4.

    Data Warehouse and ETL tools for data verification ?
    How need to to data verification using ETL tool ? Also how to relate this thing to datawaehouse ?
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi  Shyamal Kumar,
    1)  BW it self  facilitates to do the ETL (Extraction Transformation Loading)  steps:
         example:
                     Extraction  - from SAP or other data bases
                     Transformation - using transfer rules, Updates rules
                     Loading  -  Loading into ODS, Cube, master data
    2) Typically used ETL tools in the industry are:
         a)   datastage from Ascential (owned by IBM)
         b)   Informatica
         c)   Mercator

  • While trying to access my local network I get the message..."The page could not be opened because server cannot be found."  This, after updating to Yosemite and paying (again) for the server app.

    while trying to access my local network I get the message..."The page could not be opened because server cannot be found."  This, after updating to Yosemite and paying (again) for the server app.

    It's absolutley scandalous that a company with Apple's resources can let this happen.  They should have staggered the release by region rather than opening the flood gates.  The upgrade itself took me about 10 attempts to download it, and then I thought I was home free.  That was until it rebooted and won't activate.  It's over 2 hours now.
    Scandalous!

  • Some Bugs and Enhancement Suggestions for Offline DB models

    I really like the way that this area of JDeveloper is shaping up, but I have a couple of bugs and few suggestions for enhancements.
    Bugs,
    1) when adding an index to a table, you can't edit the index name. If the generated name is too long, it doesn't allow you to create the index.
    2) When adding columns to an index, there is no LOV of columns so you have to manually type each one. It always defaults to the ?first column of the primary key? which seems odd.
    A few enhancement suggestions:
    1) on tables and columns it would be very helpful to be able to also have a logical name as well as a physical name
    2) if we have a logical name, it would be then very helpful to be able to set the display properties to show the logical vs. physical table and column names
    3) Tablespace objects. I would be okay if they were just the logical object (not necessarily generate DDL to create them). If I could use them as part of the table and index definitions.
    4) Table partitioning.
    5) Packages on a DB Diagram. Just for the documentation purpose of visually displaying all objects in an application.
    6) Ability to create views based on synonyms. Currently, it only allows to pick a table or view.
    Just a few items that I have encountered trying to design a full application in JDeveloper.
    Thanks,
    Gary

    Gary,
    thanks. I filed the enhancement request and bug based on your description

  • Why does my Verizon iPhone 4S Data Service Switch from 3G to 2G as soon as I want to use it for "data-intensive" apps such as Netflix?

    I have an iPhone 4S that I purchased new from Verizon back in January 2012.  I've started to notice that the 3G data coverage appears and disappears according to whether or not I'm actually using the data.  For instance: When the phone is stationary and not using the data, it indicates that I have 3G data coverage.  When I click on an app like Netflix (without moving the phone from it's stationary position), data coverage either immediately or soon thereafter switches to a 2G data coverage connection (indicated with an "o" for Verizon).  Has anyone else had this same problem?  I can't say that this happens everywhere, but in particular, it happens at my work every single time I would like to be able to watch episodes of tv shows on my lunch break. 

    Yeah I'll need to call and ask because it's very possible that the tower is "congested" as I work in a large city.  Hardly seems fair that I would get a diminished data speeds due to congestion of a large city that Verizon indicates it has full coverage on all of their "data coverage" maps.  I may have made a different carrier choice had I known that this was going to happen.  I wonder if this happens with their 4G towers as well...

  • Training Suggestions for HD to SD workflows

    I recently moved from a PowerMac G5 using an analog to digital converter to a MacPro 2x2.8 Quad Core with a Blackmagic Intensity Pro card. My current setup is mainly capturing component video/stereo audio via the breakout cable for the BlackMagic. On the G5 I was also using FCS 2, mostly dealing with fairly simple clips and editing them for output to SD DVD
    I'm encountering new things like "for best performance your sequence and External Video should be set tot he format of the clips you are editing" messages. I'm sure it's just working out the proper settings, figuring how to export out my material for SD DVD, etc.
    Are there any good training materials (online, books, etc) that give a comprehensive look at how to handle/configure my work flow? For now, most of my work will be output to SD DVD.
    Thanks!

    There's no real secret here...and nothing that requires a full manual on the matter.
    Edit native HD (if HDV or DVCPRO HD or XDCAM). Export a self contained Quicktime Movie. Use Compressor to encode as an SD DVD...using the BEST QUALITY encode options.

  • RMAN crosscheck and expire guidelines for data warehouse environment

    O/S: Windows Server 2008
    DB: Oracle 11gR2
    Are there any guidelines to how often one should do a RMAN crosscheck and set an expiration on archivelogs for data warehouse environments?
    It would seem once a day would be enough for the crosscheck in a data warehouse environment that gets refreshed nightly. Expiration I would expect no less than 1 week.
    Cheers!

  • Mac Pro 4,1 SATA for OS and RAID SAS for data?

    Hello, Can I setup a new Mac Pro with two SATA drives for the OS and install a RAID Card and two SAS drives for data?
    Or do they all have to be SAS or SATA drives in the machine? Meaning I cannot mix SATA and SAS.
    Thanks,
    Dean

    Even MacWorld magazine liked the OWC drives.
    If you are serious about using an SSD drive, they are generally too small for, and do not give enough speed improvement to, extensive documents, movies, pictures, Tunes, and so on. You should consider moving the /Users directory to a traditional Hard Drive.
    Blocks on SDD drives can sustain a finite number of writes, thought to be in the neighborhood of 10,000. Some Cloning software is thought to do an abusive number of writes during cloning, so it may be better to install the System from scratch onto your new SSD.
    I am an advocate of occasionally consolidating free space on an SSD drive and Zeroing it. Since these drives tend to be organized internally as really big blocks, eliminating small "free" blocks (with leftover data in them) may allow some drives to do fewer slow Read-Modify-Write cycles. This practice is, at best, controversial.

  • JFormattedTextField with edit and display formatter for date

    How can I have a date display formatter and a edit mask date formatter for JFormattedTextField instance.
    When I do
                   DateFormatter dateFormatter = new DateFormatter(new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy"));
                   JFormattedTextField.AbstractFormatterFactory factory = new DefaultFormatterFactory(dateFormatter, dateFormatter, dateFormatter);
                   jFormattedTextField_2.setFormatterFactory(factory);
    all is okie but I wanna a mask formatter and if I do
                   DateFormatter dateFormatter = new DateFormatter(new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy"));
                   MaskFormatter editFormater = new MaskFormatter();
                   try {
                        editFormater.setMask("##/##/####");
                   } catch (ParseException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                   editFormater.setPlaceholderCharacter('_');               
                   JFormattedTextField.AbstractFormatterFactory factory = new DefaultFormatterFactory(dateFormatter, dateFormatter, editFormater);
                   jFormattedTextField_2.setFormatterFactory(factory);
    jFormattedTextField_2 accepts invalid date.
    What can I do to have a date edit mask and a date display mask for a
    JFormattedTextField instance.
    Thx a lot, Tony.

    txtdatnalzaproizvoid = new JFormattedTextField(datformater("##/##/##"));

  • A Very New and Cool Suggestion for a *PLAIN TASKBAR*

    Hello,
    I have a very different kind of suggestion for the TASK BAR.
    I was listening to songs when a video song came, the video was playing in the background..
    i didn't realize that , when i saw the task bar, i liked the way how the transparent task bar became all alive..
    The video in the background of the task bar made it do that, I have a suggestion if u can add a visualizer/Equalizer(in plain terms) in the task bar that whenever we play music it comes alive. That would be something very awesome..
    Just try to imagine a visualizer in task bar, Give it a chance. :)
    Thanks.
