Transition Based Classes and External JPEGS

Hello.
I am trying to create a photo gallery that loads external
JPEGS . I would like to use transitions effects such as the blinds
transition (mx.transitions.Blinds) . But as I have read this can
only be used on a movie clip. My question is how to I apply effects
to externally loading JPEGS? Thanks, Wonder Wendy

Thank you so much LuigiL,
The code worked beautifuly. But my new problem is how to
load the JPEGS when the thumbnail buttons are pressed. When I tried
adding my code the images would load without the transition
effects. So I need to know where to insert the script so the the
JPEGS will load with the effects.
Wondering a lot less thanks to you,
WonderWendy

Adding all the classes and external jars in webservice WAR using servicegen

Hi,
Can someone please tell me how do I include all the classes and my external jar files to the ear/war file that is created using servicegen. I don't see any option in servicegen tag where I can include my classes and jar files to the ear/war file. The war it creates only contains the web service implementation class but I want to all the classes in the service code and jars in the same war. Any ideas on how to do that instead of putting in the classpath.
here is the snippet of my build file
<servicegen
       destEar="${deploy}/myservice.ear"
       warName="myservice.war">
       <service
         javaClassComponents="com.ws.service.TestService"
         targetNamespace="http://xmlns.test.com/tool/myservice"
         serviceName="myservice"
         serviceURI="/myservice"
         style="document"
         protocol="http"
         expandMethods="True">
       </service>
      <classpath>
        <pathelement path="${classes}"/>
        <pathelement path="${lib}/*.jar"/>
     <pathelement path="C:/bea/weblogic92/server/lib/webserviceclient.jar"/>
      </classpath>
</servicegen>
..........................Thanks

Hi,
The work around I am using to overcome this problem is Unzipping th ear/war file created by servicegen task and including all the classes. Then creating the ear file again by creating a new ant target.
I know this is not a neater way, but this works for me.

Redeploying classes and EJBs into a running, external WeblogicServer6.1 application

Is it possible to debug, edit, compile and deploy the new class and/or EJB using
jBuilder5 on Win2k and WeblogicServer6.1 on Solaris WITHOUT restarting the app
server? Is there solid documentation, where? I can debug, but the 'documentation'
concerning re-deployment on an external WLS application server is vague at best.
For example, from Borland...."If the EJB already exists in WebLogic Server, it
may be necessary either to use re-deploy or to remove it from WebLogic Server
before deployment." From BEA, "...create an empty file named REDEPLOY in the directory
where the exploded application resides. ... After copying the new files, touch
the REDEPLOY ...."

I think i figured this one out. Thanks to everyone who looked at it. Have yourselves a good one.

Class and class type based on inspection method

Hi experts,
I have a requirement in my script like this i have a inspection method. based on this inspection method i have to get class and class type. and from which table we can get this class and class type based on inspection method. please suggest the solution.
Thanks in advance
Thanks and Regards
D.Ramesh

Hi Sai,
Have you tried Run Time Type services? If you need to perform some interspection of a class, you can use one of two classes:
CL_ABAP_OBJECTDESCR or
CL_ABAP_REFDESCR
there are several methods you can use:
Describe_by_Name
Describe_by_Object_Ref
describe_by_data_ref
describe_by_data
One of these should do the trick...it just depends on what situation you are in.
Hope this helps!

I took a photo class and the tech showed me how to take iPhoto images and export to an external hard drive. However, I do not recall how this was done. Can anyone provide me with step by step instructions? TIA!

Equipment search based on Class and Characteristic data

Hello Experts,
We are looking for some inputs on how to get index created on Class and Characterstics for Equipments.
We are using Embedded Search , TREX Version 7.10.44.00, Changelist 323327 (710_REL), InstallationType ESH along with ECC 6.0/Ehp4.
We can't see any standard template available in our cockpit(ESH_COCKPIT) for Class and Characteristic but we can see a template on Equipment(EQUI).
We have the following software components available : EA-HRGXX, ESH_COMMON_OBJECTS and SAP_APPL however class and characteristic are missing.
We tried to import it but unavailable in the import queue. Hence it seems we need to create it manually.
Question:
Is it available in some patch or something from where we can import it? We assume these should be definitely available somewhere since these are standards templates.
From where we can get the technical details if we want to create these manually?
How to configure the index to get the relevant field data from ECC-->TREX for these new indexes(Class/Characteristic) created?
What extra coding required to do this? Where we can find the details on how to program and run this?
Any other related info around this will be really helpful.
Many Thanks
Sanjay

hi,
the standard templates are only delivered with EHP5 and NW 7.2 as part of the standard delivery.

Startup Classes and JMS - Suggestions Please!

I'm in serious need of having several resources initialized before beans
start handling requests.
I tried implementing a Weblogic Startup Class, and it works fine - as long
as it's the first thing
to run! -- the problem is, when my Message Driven Beans deploy, if there are
messages waiting
for them in their durable subscriptions, they immediately start
processing... then about 30 seconds
later Weblogic (6.0sp1) gets around to starting my startup class. If I put
code in each MDB that
kicks off the initialization when they are invoked I still run into
problems, because my initialization
takes a LONG time (more than 2 minutes) - so I end up with lots of
transaction rollbacks... which
are very annoying and clutter up the log files, and scare customers of the
product.
Is there anyway to make a startup class/servlet/something that runs and
completes before any
other processing occurs?
Thanks,
James

Yes, Startup servlet has the same problem - it doesn't 'startup' until after
jms messages are already being delivered. :( aside from this, there are
class loader issues -servlet space and ejb space are not the same...
Thanks though,
James

James,
If you have common initialization tasks to be shared by multiple MDBs,
I
would create an abstract class (a.k.a BeanAdapter class) where you canhave
all your initialization logics and have your MDB extend from it.
I am not convinced that the Startup class needs to run first. In fact,
I
have the same view that Startup class should run last. My only wishlist
for
startup class was that I should be able to specify order, which isaddressed
in 6.1.
I am also getting the feeling from different posts that MDB deploymentwould
have a re-try logic in 6.1, which I am beginning to look into. Check
(or
post) in JMS news group.

James,
There are several ways to solve your problem. I normally use
setMessageDrivenContext to do all my initialization. There are two
types
of
initialization that I have performed here, first, reading theconfiguration
file and then load some utility classes in specific order. The
problem
with
the second was that you will have to use synchronized block
w/HotSpot
2.0
to
keep the order, which is ok. I don't use static block to do the
initialization, instead use an init() metod. Hopefully you got the
idea.
Recently, Gene Chuang created a pattern which esentially does the
same
and
I
liked the pattern because it was a nicer way of doing what I
needed to
do.
I
have changed all my examples to customer to use the new pattern.
You
can
find it in
http://theserverside.com/patterns/thread.jsp?thread_id=7270.
The
only think I do not use of this pattern is
initializeEveryContextSwap()
method. I am not convinced yet that I would need it (of course
that
might
change over the time).
Hope this helps, and thanks Gene.

Ok... here's some more detail:
The application is largely JMS based, and most of my Session
EJBs
are
invoked only my Message Driven Beans.
I have a large set of properties that need to be read from a
config
file,
and stored somewhere "globally". I also have a number of
utilities
that
need to get "warmed up" before I start doing any real processing(before
I start receiving messages from the JMS Topics). These
utilities
take
a
long time to warm up (a long time being about 45-60 seconds) -
because
they are loading hundereds of classes, and creating variousconnections
to external resources.
Currently I'm creating a Singleton object that reads the
configuration
file
name from an environment property, and it then parses the file,
and
starts
configuring all of these utilities. Since the "Startup Class"
didn't
work
(weblogic invokes it after I'm already receiving messages), I
put
code
at
the beginning of all of my MDB's onMessage() methods that calls
the
singleton's "getInstance()" method - which synchronizes on alock
object,
and does all of it's work.
I don't like this solution because:
1- I have to put code in EVERY message-driven bean that I
create -
if
I
forget one, everything is broken.
2- I have to increase the transaction time out of the entire
server
to
be over 60 seconds since the beans hang that long while theconfiguration
is
happening.
It seems very obvious that a "Startup Class" should be invoked
after
the
server has come completely up, but before it starts listening
for
requests -- isn't the whole point of a "startup class" to getthings
ready
that need to be done as soon as the server comes up? but alas,
the
person
who designed this at BEA apparently didn't agree with me on this
point!
Any suggestion on better solutions would be greatly appreciated.

You can do it this way, but I would not recommend it, unless

I have seen this problem with multiple clients and in most

there
is
a
better way to handle it. If James give us a little more

you could wrap the starting of weblogic in your own class
and do
initialization
there. You have to be careful because of the way weblogic
classloaders
work, but
you may be able to do what you want. Weblogic is just a java
class,
so
you
can
start your class, then once your done initializing, just

Time Capsule and External HD as Network Attached Storage

I was wondering if I can

b. Back up to that external hard drive using Time Machine?
c. Access that external hard drive and Time Capsule from a remote place off site?
Thanks

a. Yes
b. I think so. But why not just use the TCs hard disk for TM backups?
c. Apparently so based on these instructions I have found: (Haven't tried it myself)
In the Finder preferences check the box "show server" to mount to desktop.
Under Airport Utility:
Disks - check over wan and check file sharing and write down the ip address
Under the Finder, use the GO function to find your server ie the hard drive on the TC. In the window provided type afp://ip address then password if applicable. The hard drive should mount and be shown on the desktop.

Problems with animated masks and external images

I have an instance of a movieClip on the stage and I load an external JPG into the movieClip. The movieClip is masked by a layer that begins animating on a certain frame. As soon as I reach that frame my externally loaded JPG disappears. The movieClip doesn't mind being masked, but as soon as the mask animates the external image goes away. The mask animation is shapes drawn frame by frame.
It is interesting to note that if I create a Class and load the JPG into the movieClip (or do this in a constructor) I do not experience this problem - it is when the JPGs are loaded into an instance of the movieClip that lives on the stage that I encounter this. Unfortunately that is not an option in my project (since I have to get the path for the JPG from an xml file I am loading).
Could someone please help me with this?

that's a flash bug.

Using java class and variables declared in java file in jsp

hi everyone
i m trying to seperate business logic form web layer. i don't know i am doing in a right way or not.
i wanted to access my own java class and its variables in jsp.
for this i created java file like this
package ris;
import java.sql.*;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
public class NewClass{
    public static void main(String args[]){
        Connection con = null;
        ResultSet rs=null;
        Statement smt=null;
        try{
            Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
            con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql:///net","root", "anthony111");
            smt=con.createStatement();
           rs= smt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM emp");
           while(rs.next()){
            String str = rs.getString("Name");
            }catch( Exception e){
                String msg="Exception:"+e.getMessage();
            }finally {
      try {
        if(con != null)
          con.close();
      } catch(SQLException e) {}
}next i created a jsp where i want to access String str defined in java class above.

Very bad approach
1) Think if your table contains more than one NAMEs then you will get only the last one with your code.
2) Your String is declared as local variable in the method.
3) You have not created any object of NewClass nor called the method in JSP page. Then who will call the method to run sql?
4) Your NewClass contains main method which will not work in web application, it's not standalone desktop application so remove main.
Better create an ArrayList and then call the method of NewClass and then store the data into ArrayList and return the ArrayList.
It should look like
{code:java}
package ris;
import java.sql.*;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
public class NewClass{
    public static ArrayList getNames(){
        Connection con = null;
        ResultSet rs=null;
        Statement smt=null;
        ArrayList nameList = new ArrayList();
        try{
            Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
            con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql:///net","root", "anthony111");
            smt=con.createStatement();
           rs= smt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM emp");
           while(rs.next()){
            nameList.add(rs.getString("Name"));
           return nameList;
            }catch( Exception e){
                String msg="Exception:"+e.getMessage();

            }finally {

Front End internal and external web services

Hi all,
Can someone explain the purpose of internal and external web services URL in front end server. what does it do and what is it used for? and why the external traffic goes directly to it and not through reverse proxy?
Thanks,

They're for multiple purposes. Address books, autodiscovery, meeting urls, mobile clients, etc. There are two because they respond slightly differently based on whether the client is internal or external. External traffic should always reach
it through a reverse proxy, that reverse proxy should proxy traffic received on port 443 to port 4443 on your front end pool.

Viewer and External Monitor doesn't playback at same time

When watching clips in the viewer window, they playback fine. But on my external monitor, it only shows the first frame from when it's played. when I stop playback, the external monitor then shows the last frame the Viewer window is stopped on. How can I fix it so that the viewer and external monitor playback the clip at the same time?
At the moment we're digitizing footage with the Offline RT Photo JPEG codec set to 75% quality.
A few days ago we were digitizing footage at 35% quality and that footage plays back fine. We moved to 75% quality at the editor's request. A few days ago we had created a few sample 75% quality tests for the editor to view. I loaded those clips into Final Cut right now and they playback fine as well. So it's all of a sudden just these new clips created yesterday :S.
Message was edited by: Phillip Roh

Yes.
Forgot to mention that the timeline plays all the footage back properly on both the canvas window and the external monitor. Sorry for not mentioning that sooner.
More discoveries! The playback 'freeze' only happens if I open a clip from the browser into the viewer. If I open a clip from the timeline into the viewer, it plays-back fine!

Cisco ISE with both internal and External RADIUS Server

Hi
I have ISE 1.2 , I configured it as management monitor and PSN and it work fine
I would like to know if I can integrate an external radius server and work with both internal and External RADIUS Server simultanously
So some computer (groupe_A in active directory ) will continu to made radius authentication on the ISE internal radius and other computer (groupe_B in active directory) will made radius authentication on an external radius server
I will like to know if it is possible to configure it and how I can do it ?
Thanks in advance for your help
Regards
Blaise

Cisco ISE can function both as a RADIUS server and as a RADIUS proxy server. When it acts as a proxy server, Cisco ISE receives authentication and accounting requests from the network access server (NAS) and forwards them to the external RADIUS server. Cisco ISE accepts the results of the requests and returns them to the NAS.
Cisco ISE can simultaneously act as a proxy server to multiple external RADIUS servers. You can use the external RADIUS servers that you configure here in RADIUS server sequences. The External RADIUS Server page lists all the external RADIUS servers that you have defined in Cisco ISE. You can use the filter option to search for specific RADIUS servers based on the name or description, or both. In both simple and rule-based authentication policies, you can use the RADIUS server sequences to proxy the requests to a RADIUS server.
The RADIUS server sequence strips the domain name from the RADIUS-Username attribute for RADIUS authentications. This domain stripping is not applicable for EAP authentications, which use the EAP-Identity attribute. The RADIUS proxy server obtains the username from the RADIUS-Username attribute and strips it from the character that you specify when you configure the RADIUS server sequence. For EAP authentications, the RADIUS proxy server obtains the username from the EAP-Identity attribute. EAP authentications that use the RADIUS server sequence will succeed only if the EAP-Identity and RADIUS-Username values are the same.

HELP, date class and parsing input

I have reviewed many posts in these forums and have found that detail gets the best results so I apologize in advance if this is detailed. I am taking a Java class and am not doing so hot. The last time I programmed was in 1998 and that was Ada, I very soon moved to Networking. I guess those that can't program become networkers, I don't know, but I am frustrated here.
Any how I am trying to write a rather simple program, but it is the manipulation of the date I am having difficulty with. Here are the requirements:
Overall Requirements
Create a class named Date that stores date values and prints out the date in either a pure numeric format or a name and number format (see sample session for format details).
Date.java class file
? Date objects should store the date in two int instance variables ─ day and month, and it should include the String instance variable, error, initialized with null.
Implement a 1-parameter Date constructor that receives a dateStr string parameter and performs complete error checking on the given dateStr value. The Date constructor is the entity that?s responsible for date error checking. That way, if a Date object is instantiated and if there are no errors, then you?re guaranteed that the Date object holds a legitimate date value. If any kind of error occurs, change the value of the error instance variable to a non-null string value, using an appropriate concatenation of a string constant, input substring, and/or API exception message.
Constructors use the same exception handling rules as methods: In a try block, include the parsing of the month and day substrings and other error-checking logic that will not work if parsing fails.
? Take into account the actual number of days in each month, but assume that there are always 28 days in February.
? To extract day and month numbers from the given date string, use String?s indexOf method to find the location of the slash character, and String?s substring method to extract month and day substrings from the input string.
? Include a method for printing the date with a numeric format. Use the zero-pad flag in a printf method call to get exactly two digits for each month and day.
? Include a method for printing the date with an alphabetic format.
Include a getError method which returns the value of the error instance variable.
DateDriver.java class file : In your driver class, include a loop that repeatedly:
? Asks the user to enter a date or ?q? to quit. ? If the entry is not ?q?, instantiate a Date object.
? If the error variable is null: o Print the date using numeric format.o Print the date using alphabetic format. Otherwise, print the value of the error variable.
I want to figure this out on my own as much as possible but have until tomorrow night to do so..............I need to understand how I can use Strings indexOf to parse the dateStr so I can locate the /. I see I can use it to find the position of a specified character, but I am not sure of the syntax I need to use. But then once I find the / I need to use the String's substring method to extract month and day. I think I might be able to get that, if I can get the / figured out.

*     checking. That way, if a Date object is instantiated and if there are no errors, then you?re guaranteed that the
*     Date object holds a legitimate date value. If any kind of error occurs, change the value of the error instance
*     variable to a non-null string value, using an appropriate concatenation of a string constant, input substring,
*     and/or API exception message.?
*     ?     Constructors use the same exception handling rules as methods: In a try block, include the parsing of the
*     month and day substrings and other error-checking logic that will not work if parsing fails.
*????????? Take into account the actual number of days in each month, but assume that there are always 28 days in February.
*????????? To extract day and month numbers from the given date string, use String?s indexOf method to find the
*location of the slash character, and String?s substring method to extract month and day substrings from the input string.
import java.util.*;
public class Date
     Scanner stdIn = new Scanner(System.in);
     boolean valid = false
     int day;
     int month;
     String error = null;
     String dayStr;
     String monthStr;
     String dateStr;
     public Date(String dateStr)
// Look for the slash and set appropriate error if one isn't found. use String?s indexOf method to find the
//location of the slash character and String?s substring method to extract month and day substrings from the input string.
// Convert month portion to integer. Catch exceptions and set appropriate error if there are any.
Integer.parseInt(dateStr);
// Validate month is in range and set appropriate error if it isn't.
// Convert day portion to integer. Catch exceptions and set appropriate error if there are any.
// Validate day is in range based on the month (different days per month) and set appropriate error if it isn't.
//public void printDate()      //Include a method for printing the date with a numeric format. Use the zero-pad flag in a printf method
                                   //call to get exactly two digits for each month and day.
//{                                   //Include a method for printing the date with an alphabetic format.
//     } // end print report
//     public getError()
                              //Include a getError method which returns the value of the error instance variable.
}//end class Date
Here is sample out put needed::::::::
Sample Session:
Enter a date in the form mm/dd ("q" to quit): 5/2
05/02
May 2
Enter a date in the form mm/dd ("q" to quit): 05/02
05/02
May 2
Enter a date in the form mm/dd ("q" to quit): 52
Invalid date format ? 52
Enter a date in the form mm/dd ("q" to quit): 5.0/2
Invalid format - For input string: "5.0"
Enter a date in the form mm/dd ("q" to quit): 13/2
Invalid month ? 13
Enter a date in the form mm/dd ("q" to quit): 2/x
Invalid format - For input string: "x"
Enter a date in the form mm/dd ("q" to quit): 2/30
Invalid day ? 30
Enter a date in the form mm/dd ("q" to quit): 2/28
02/28
February 28
Enter a date in the form mm/dd ("q" to quit): q
I am trying to attack this ONE STEP at a time, even though I only have until Sunday at midnight. I will leave this post and get some rest, then attack it again in the morning.

Christine,
You'r doing well so far... I like your "top down" approach. Rough out the classes, define ALL the methods, especially the public one... but just sketch out the requirements and/or implementation with a few comments. You'll do well.
(IMHO) The specified design is pretty crappy, especially the Exception handling
[The Constructor] performs complete error checking on the given dateStr value. The Date constructor is the entity that?s responsible for date error checking. That way, if a Date object is instantiated and if there are no errors, then you?re guaranteed that the Date object holds a legitimate date value. If any kind of error occurs, change the value of the error instance variable to a non-null string value, using an appropriate concatenation of a string constant, input substring, and/or API exception message.Please allow me to shred this hubris piece by piece.
[The Constructor] performs complete error checking on the given dateStr value. The Date constructor is the entity that?s responsible for date error checking.Umm... Well I suppose it could... but NO, the constructor should delegate such "complex validation" to a dedicated validate (or maybe isValid) method... which might even be made publicly available... it's a good design.
That way, if a Date object is instantiated and if there are no errors, then you?re guaranteed that the Date object holds a legitimate date value. If any kind of error occurs, change the value of the error instance variable to a non-null string value ...Utter Bollocks! When passed an invalid input string the, Date constructor should throw an InvalidDataException (or similar). It should not SILENTLY set some dodgy error errorMessage attribute, which is returned later by a "print" method. We tried that in masm, fortran, ada, basic, c, and pascal for twenty odd years. It sucked eggs. And it STILL sucks eggs. Java has a "proper" try/catch exception handling mechanism. Use it.
I mean, think it through...
someDate = get a date from the user // user enters invalid date, so someDate is null and errMsg is set.
report = generateReport() // takes (for the sake of argument) three hours.
emailReport(someDate, report) // only to fail at the last hurdle with an InvalidDataException!And anyways... such implementation details are traditionally the implementors choice... ie: it's usually between the programmer and there tech-manager (if they're lucky enough to have one).
Cheers. Keith.
