The best way pass a goemetry to a procedure

I need to pass a geometry to a stored procedure. I first thought of using the mdo.sys_geometry types but the java client cannot pass in this type of object. I then thought of using pl/sql tables to send in the sdo_element_info array and the sdo_ordinate_array info. I had a concern that the shape I passed in would surpass the sql buffer for the pl/sql ( if there is a buffer length as there is in sqlplus ). I also thought of using a long datatype to pass in an infinite string that I can parse and and create the goemetry in the stored procedure. Anybody have any thoughts as to the best way to pass a geometry into a procedure?

They will be able to download everything that was bought with their Apple ID. If they all shared an ID then they switched to their own ID they won't be able to use any apps or music bought with another Apple ID. As I explained in my previous response. There is only one way to share apps and content across multiple Apple ID's and that is home share. So, NO there isn't a "Smooth" way to do it.

Best way to return structured data?procedure or function?

Hi everyone.
I cannot choose the best way to return, from java stored procedure, some data.
for example , which is best way to write this method:
public STRUCT function(input parameters) { STRUCT result ... return result; }
or
public void procedure(input parameters, STRUCT[] struct) { STRUCT result ... struct[0] = result; }
in the last way, the wrapper obviously will be: CREATE PROCEDURE name(... IN datatype, data OUT STRUCT)
Which is best way in efficiency ?
thank you ;)

da`,
By "efficiency", I assume you mean, best performance/least time.
In my experience, the only way to discover this is to compare the two, since there are many factors that affect the situation.
Good Luck,

What is the best way to pass a constant to a cin expecting a pointer to a value?

I have a cin which has a leg that is expecting a pointer to a value. On the diagram, what is the best way to connect a constant widget to this leg of the cin? Connecting it directly crashes labview as it treats the constant as a pointer to memory.
Thanks

I am not sure that I understand your issue. CIN variables can be Input-Output or Output only. Either way, they are being passed in as a pointer to a value. You can see this very easily by placing down a CIN and wiring a constant integer to it. Next, right-click on the CIN and create the C file. You will see that the parameter list has an int* in it.
If you are still having problems, do you have to create a CIN or can you create a DLL instead? The DLL will give you a few more ways to pass the data than a CIN does with no real performance decrease.
Also, have you read the "Using External Code in LabVIEW" manual? This hsould answer some questions as well.

What is the best way of dealing with an "implicit coercion" of an array to a sprite?

Hello everyone!
     With continued help from this forum I am getting closer to having a working program. I look forward to being able to help others like myself once I finish learning the AS3 ropes.
     I will briefly explain what I am trying to achieve and then follow it up with my question.
Background
     I have created a 12 x 9 random number grid that populates each cell with a corresponding image based on each cell's numeric value. I have also created a shuffle button that randomizes the numbers in the grid. The problem I am running into is getting my button-click event to clear the current images off the grid in order to assign new ones (i.e. deleting the display stack objects in order to place news ones in the same locations).
Question
     My question is this: what is the best way to handle an implicit coercion from an array to a sprite? I have pasted my entire code below so that you can see how the functions are supposed to work together. My trouble apparently lies with not being able to use an array value with a sprite (the sprite represents the actual arrangement of the grid on the display stack while the array starts out as a number than gets assigned an image which should be passed to the sprite).

     Any help with this is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Rothrock,
     Thank you for the reply. Let me address a few things here in the hopes of allowing you (and others) to better understand my reasoning for doing things in this manner (admittedly, there is probably a much better/easier approach to what I am trying to accomplish which is one of the things I hope to learn/discover from these posts).
     The elements inside my "imageArray" are all individual graphics that I had imported, changed their type to movie clips using .Sprite as their base class (instead of .MovieClip) and then saved as classes. The reason I did this was because the classes could then be referenced via "getDefinitionByName" by each cell value that was being passed to it. In this grid every number from 1 to 9 appears randomly 12 times each (making the 108 cells which populate the grid). I did not, at the time (nor do I now), know of a better method to implement for making sure that each image appears in the cell that has the corresponding value (i.e. every time a cell has the value of 8 then the custom graphic/class "skin8" will be assigned to it so that the viewer will be able to see a more aesthetically pleasing numerical representation, that is to say a slightly more fancy looking number with a picture behind it). I was advised to store these images in an array so that I could destroy them when I reshuffle the grid in order to make room for the new images (but I probably messed up the instructions).
     If the "drawCell" function only returns a sprite rather than the image array itself, doesn't that mean that my "eraseCells" function won't be able to delete the array's children as their values weren't first returned to the global variable which my erasing function is accessing?
     As for the function name "drawCells," you have to keep in mind that a) my program has been redesigned in stages as I add new functionality/remove old functionality (such as removing text labels and formatting which were originally in this function) and b) that my program is called "Blanko."
     I will try and attach an Illustrator exported JPG file that contains the image I am using as the class "skin7" just to give you an example of what I'm trying to use as labels (although it won't let me insert it here in this post, so I will try it in the next post).
Thank you for your help!

What is the best way of converting a Top Level VI into a 'sub vi' - or function ( without duplicating programming)

Hi,
General question here about design architecture, which i keep running into, but haven't found a really good solution. If i write a 'Top Level VI' to do something, what is the best way of converting it into a subVI - which is call-able from other VIs, while still allowing the top level VI to have synchronised feedback/indicator updates.
I guess the point is that when something is a top level VI you write gui logic about what happens when someone clicks buttons or whatever - which you don't want in the 'sub vi' version.
I did at one point try having a hidden boolean button that was an input to the subVI which would let the VI know if it was supposed to be doing the front panel stuff - or simply running as a subVI. This isn't really ideal though - since it would be better to be able to hive off the grizzly useful stuff from the fluffy - front panel updating stuff - having them together makes the VIs rather untidy. More annoyingly though, if you have the front panel version of it running - say waiting for you to hit 'go', it breaks all the other VIs that use it as a sub vi - since they can't compile when a sub vi is already running.
Another possibility that i tried was to basically duplicate the vi so that there was a backend part, and a front end part - and when i click 'go' the backend part is called as a sub vi. The problem with this is that it really limits the interface that the user gets - since none of the controls on the front panel update with the results untill the sub vi is over. I guess again i could solve this by passing references to some of the controls to update them in the subvi - but this doesn't really seem like the ideal situation if the subvi is called by something else without the same types of controls etc.
One final idea i had was to essentially paste all the controls in the VI into a global variable file, and make the sub vi update them, and the front panel VI read from them. This seems to 'work' - although clearly it is a work around rather than a proper solution - since i spend loads of time worrying about how i update cluster variables in the global - reading and writing.
Does anyone have any guidance on what they do to solve this problem?
JP

You could run a subvis in a Subpanel on your top level. Lets you see the current data while the subvi is running.

What's the best way to deal with floating point errors?

What's the best way to deal with the decimal number errors in Flex?
Lets say I have:
var number1:Number = 1.1;
var number2:Number = 1;
var result:Number = number1 - number2;
trace(result);
I get "0.10000000000000009".
What's the best way to deal with this so that i get the right result?
Using the trick: result = Math.round( result * Math.pow(10,13) ) / Math.pow(10,13); is not useful as such when using big numbers.
For example, If number1 = 100000000001.1, and number2 = 0.2, I get "100000000000.90001" as result. The previous rounding fixes rounding errors after 13th decimal, but here the first rounding errors come after 4 digits.
The toPrecision method in Number and NumberFormatter dont seem be of use by themselves because of the same reason.
So I'd have to check how big the number is, and then round the number based on that.
So far I've constructed a method that does that with logarithms like this:
public function floatFix(number:Number):Number{
      var precision:int = 14-Math.floor(Math.log(Math.abs(number))*Math.LOG10E);
      var precisionFactor:Number = Math.pow(10, precision);
      return Math.round(Number(number*precisionFactor))/precisionFactor;
It just seems rather odd that one would have to create and use something like that to just count 1.1-1; There's a lot of calculating in that method, and i'm guessing that having to use that in a loop could slow down a program quite a bit.
I think there really should be a pre-built method in flex for something like this, but I can't find any.
Anyone know any better/faster ways?

What is the best way to for a plugin to wrap a video element in a parallel composition with a reference plugin that points to that Video Element?

I have a basic reference element loaded as a plugin, which is able to retrieve information about, pause and play video elements while displaying its own overlay content as well. What it's not currently doing, is automatically positioning itself to the same location and dimensions of the video element that it references. For some reason, when I try using the layout API to set position and size in the video element metadata, this is not retrieved by the reference element (it returns a null value for the target video element's metadata).
I wanted to try a different approach, specifically, creating a parallel composition that works as follows:
1) When a video element is created in the factory, it is automatically wrapped in a parallel composition element along with a reference element, which is passed the video element as a target.
2) The reference element sets its width and height with the width and height properties of the video element spatial trait and will listen for any changes to that width and height to adjust accordingly.
3) Now that I think about it, the parallel composition should itself be a proxy for the video element, so other code in the player that moves, resizes, or otherwise alters the dispay of the video element, will if fact be adjusting the whole video element + reference element parallel composition.
In other words, I want the reference element to be an overlay that is "locked" to the surface of any video element and follows it in size, position, display and even audio traits.
Suggestions for the best way to approach this within the framework?

Thanks Wei,
With some more tweaking, I am able to get and use the layout metadata as you said! Here is where my issue stands now:
* My IMediaReferrer element can now look at the layout metadata of the target media element and copy those values, so it has the same width, height, x, and y properties. This is great!
* However, particularly for RelativeLayoutFacet metadata, this is only fully useful if both the target media element and my IMediaReferrer element are in the same composition. If they are in different compositions which are themselves placed differently, then even identical x and y values don't add up to the same position on the screen.
So, my challenge is to figure out how to ensure that my IMediaReferrer element is placed in the same composition as the target media element.
Again, the goal is to write a plugin that will have a reference to an underlying video, and will always have the same width, height, x, and y of the video it is overlaying. This plugin should not require any additional coding in the player, but should take care of setting itself up as above automatically when loaded.
There isn't any property on a media element which exposes the "parent" composition element that it is a part of, so I don't know how to get my IMediaReferrer to add itself to the same composition as the reference target automatically. I'm not sure if it's possible to make my IMediaReferrer element extend ParallelElement and still load in a SWF Element as an overlay, and add that SWF Element and the target Media Element as children with identical layout metadata.
Do you have any suggestions on how I should proceed?
Thanks again!

What is the best way to use Swing GUIs in an MVC design?

I have a question on how to build an application using swing frames for the UI, but using an MVC architecture. I've checked the rest of the forum, but not found an answer to my question that meets my needs.
My application at this stage presents a login screen to get the userid and password, or to allow the user to choose a new locale. If an Enter action is performed, the userid and password are checked against the DB. If not accepted, the screen is repainted with a "try-again" message. If the Cancel action is performed, the process stops. If a locale action is performed, the screen is repainted with different langauge labels. Once the login process is passed, a front screen (another swing frame) is presented.
Implementation: I am using a session object (Session, represents the user logging in) that calls the Login screen (LoginGUI, a Swing JFrame object with various components). Session uses setters in LoginGUI to set the labels, initial field entries etc, before enabling the screen. From this point, the user will do something with the LoginGUI screen - could be closing the window, entering a mix of userid and password, or maybe specifying a locale. Once the user has taken the action, if required, the session object can use getters to retrieve the userid and password values entered in the fields.
The crux of the problem is 1) how will Session know that an action has been taken on the LoginGUI, and 2) how to tell what action has been taken.
This could be solved by getting LoginGUI to call back to Session, however, I am trying to buid the application with a good separation of business, logic and presentation (i.e MVC, but not using any specific model). Therefore, I do not want LoginGUI to contain any program flow logic - that should all be contained in Session.
I am aware of two possible ways to do this:
1. Make LoginGUI synchronised, so that Session waits for LoginGUI to send a NotifyAll(). LoginGUI could hold a variable indicating what has happened which Session could interrogate.
2. Implement Window Listener on Session so that it gets informed of the Window Close action. For the other two actions I could use a PropertyChangeListener in Session, that is notified when some variable in LoginGUI is changed. This variable could contain the action performed.
Has anyone got any comments on the merits of these methods, or perhaps a better method? This technique seems fundamental to any application that interfaces with end-users, so I would like to find the best way.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I tried to avoid putting in specific code as my question was more on design, and I wanted to save people having to trawl through specific code. And if I had any school assignments outstanding they would be about 20 years too late :-). I'm not sure computers more sophisticated than an abacus were around then...
Rather than putting the actual code (which is long and refers to other objects not relevant to the discussion), I have put together two demo classes to illustrate my query. Comments in the code indicate where I have left out non-relevant code.
Sessiondemo has the main class. When run, it creates an instance of LoginGUIdemo, containing a userid field, password field, a ComboBox (which would normally have a list of available locales), an Enter and a Cancel box.
When the Locale combo box is clicked, the LoginGUIdemo.userAction button is changed (using an ActionListener) and a property change is fired to Session (which could then perform some work). The same technique is used to detect Enter events (pressing return in password and userid, or clicking on Enter), and to detect Cancel events (clicking on the cancel button). Instead of putting in business code I have just put in System.out.printlns to print the userAction value.
With this structure, LoginGUIdemo has no business logic, but just alerts Sessiondemo (the class with the business logic).
Do you know any more elegant way to achieve this function? In my original post, I mentioned that I have also achieved this using thread synchronisation (Sessiondemo waits on LoginGUI to issue a NotifyAll() before it can retrieve the LoginGUI values). I can put together demo code if you would like. Can you post any other demo code to demonstrate a better technique?
Cheers,
Alan

From Kappy (note: with this method, you will need to update to the present OS version using the appropriate Combo Update from Apple Downloads.)
Boot from the OS X Installer Disc One that came with the computer. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities (Installer menu if using Panther or Jaguar) menu. After DU loads select the startup volume from the left side list then click on the Erase tab. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then click on the Options button. Select the one pass Zero Data option and click on the OK button. Then click on the Erase button.
Note: You can skip the Zero Data option if you are not concerned about removing sensitive personal data from the hard drive. If you choose to skip this part of the process then it is possible for others to recover data from the hard drive. The Zero Data procedure will prevent others from getting access to your personal information.
This process will take 30 minutes to several hours depending upon the size of the hard drive. After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Now complete the OS X installation. At the completion of the installation do not restart the computer. Instead just shut it off. The next user will be presented with the Setup Assistant when they turn on the computer just as it would if new out of the box.

What is the best way to get data to a user interface?

Hi,
I'm using labview 6i. I have an application with a handful of "core" vi's that actually run my application, doing the data acquisition, analysis, and control. I am currently using these same vi's for my user interface. I also have a number of vi's that contain menu's for configuring the "core" vi's. My questions is, what is the best way to seperate the "core" vi's from the user interface vi's. Global's, data socket, control references, others?
Thanks for the help.

Hi Sal,
I have been a strong advocate of control refnums ever since LV 6i hit the streets. I recomend you look into using them to provide this conectivity.
You could accomplish this by using a variation on the following.
In your UI, create refnums for each of the controls or indicators that must be monitored or updated. Pass the appropriate refnums to each of the "core.i's" at program init time. Inside each of the core.vi's, use property nodes to read the control's values when appropriate and similarly for display purposes. (Note: Not all boolean mechanical actions are compatible with this technique. In those case you will have to explicitly write false values after find the control to be true or vise versa).
By using this technique, you can keep the UI diagrams clea
n. Depending on your app. the UI diagram could consist of the init's I mentioned above, and a while loop that watches if it's time to exit.

What is the best way of converting everything in a result set into a string

hello folks
What do you think is the best way of converting everything in a resultset into a string???
At the moment I'm using
rs.getString(i);
everywhere (no matter if the underlying datatype is a date or whatever..) it converts automatically evertything expect NULL into a valid string.
Are there better (simple to use..) ways?

I don't see a big switch construct. How about trying the following:
Call this method from your original method by passing the resultset obtained.
public String[] convert(ResultSet rs) {
     int col = ((ResultSetMetaData) rs.getMetaData()).getColumnCount();
     String[] record = new String[col];
     int i=0;
     while(rs.next()) {
          if(rs.wasNull()) record[i] = new String();
          else record[i] = rs.getString(i);
          i++;
     return record;

What is the best way of integrating rules to a J2EE (EJB 3) application ?

We are working in a J2EE(EJB3) project which we plan to validate business logic using rule engine(JBoss rule). What is the best way of integrating the rule engine to the application ?
Does rule engine good for validating a large no of data volume ? (asserted as an objects)

What is the best way of compressing a large 3 hour final cut file

What is the best way of compressing a large 3 hour final cut file. I shot the play and it is in final cut and I rndered it so now I have a 22gb file that I need to put on a dvd . Any suggestions
Thanks
Macbook Pro
2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
with Final Cut Pro 7.0.3
using Lion as operating system

Presuming your menus aren't complicated(include audio or video) the total size for the MPG-2 and AC3 files should probably be under 8GB for a dual layer disk. The inspector will tell you the estimated size. 2-pass varible bit rate would be recommended.
Trying to fit 3 hours on a DVD-5 will only bring very noticable quality hits. Compressor will let you change the average bit rate so that you can fit 174 minutes but trade-off isn't worth it in my opinion.
Be aware that dual-layer -R and +R media may not play well for everyone everywhere.
I presume you are not making 1000 or more copies? If you were replication could solve this.
One other alternative would be to break-up the show into two parts and spread it across two DVD-5s.

Did the Mac come with two grey disks when new? If so, use disk one to erase the drive using Disk Utility and then re-install the OS from the same disk. Once installed, quit and when the new owner boots they can set it up as a new out-of-the-box Mac when they boot it up. The grey disks need to be passed on with the computer.
If you need detailed instructions on how to erase and re-install please post back.
If the Mac came with Lion or Mountain Lion installed the above process can be done using the Recovery HD as since Lion no restore disks are supplied with the Mac.
The terms of the licence state that a Mac should be sold/passed on with the OS installed that was on the machine when new (or words to that effect).
