Virtual ESA appliance update and upgrade using static method

What are the static servers for updates and upgrading if you are using a virtual appliance ?
I know that the if you use a standard appliance they are:
downloads-static.ironport.com: 208.90.58.105 on port 80
update-manifests.ironport.com: 208.90.58.5 on port 443
updates-static.ironport.com: 208.90.58.25 on port 80
But I see that my virtual appliance is trying to go to "update-manifests.sco.cisco.com" - are there other differences for the virtual appliance ?

Yes, I can confirm through my own experiences over the past week that the Virtual Appliances do not use the same update servers.
Virtual Appliances point to dynamichost update-manifests.sco.cisco.com - 208.90.58.6. I'm not sure about the static update IPs, as the static sub domains do not seem to exist on the sco.cisco.com and it looks like Cisco is using Akamai CDN to distribute updates over port 80. You may need to allow iyour Virtual ESAs out on port 80 any, and 443 seems to be a single host.
Also I found the following article most helpful for Virtual ESA Updates:

Windows 8. Updates and Upgrade

Hi.
I am sitting here installing win8. (I got it when it was still 8, upgradeable to 8.1). At the moment it is downloading and installing about 150 updates and there is still the upgrade to 8.1 to come. With possibly more updates.
Is it possible to make an installation disk which has all updates and upgrades incorporated, so if I have to re-install, it will already be upgraded and updated, so the only updates needed would be the updates published after the installation disk was
made?
Regards
Ps. I'm not sure where to publish this, but tools seems a likely choice. :-)

Hello Great Dane,
Thank you for posting this query on the TechNet community forums.
From the description I understand you're looking for a way to include updates in your Windows 8.1 installation media, is this correct? Although this is not possible as yet with any official Microsoft tool there are a range of third party options available
to you that allow you to "slipstream" updates, and more, into your Windows 8.1 ISO. You can then burn that customised ISO to disk.
One such tool is WinReducer 8.1:

Is your carrier still AT&T? What error message do you get when you try to activate it?
Have you tried a new SIM? Was the phone jailbroken? Was the computer you used to update it ever used to jailbreak a phone? In general, this problem is caused by one of the following:
1. Your antivirus is blocking access to gs.apple.com.
2. Your phone is jailbroken.
3. Your computer has been used at some time in the past to jaibreak some iOS device (not necessarily the phone with the problem), and its network database was corrupted by the hacking software that was used.
4. Apple's activation servers are down (very rare, and never for more than an hour or so).
For 1. try disabling your antivirus.
For 2. & 3. you need to go somewhere other than an apple forum for help. Although you can try deleting lines containing gs.apple.com from your "hosts" file on your computer.

Advantages and disadvanteges with static methods

Hi,
Can anybody suggest me the advantages and disadvantages of static methods? In my project i am using templates which are used by different programs and in that templates i am using static methods.
It is web application. is there any problems if made methods as static in templates that are used by diferent clients?
Thanks
Karimulla

A static method can't be overridden, and static methods are usually only used for some utility methods and other things which don't belong to the class. I would probably not make the methods static.

Why not to use static methods - with example

Hi Everyone,
I'd like to continue the below thread about "why not to use static methods"
Why not to use static methods
with a concrete example.
In my small application I need to be able to send keystrokes. (java.awt.Robot class is used for this)
I created the following class for these "operations" with static methods:
public class KeyboardInput {
     private static Robot r;
     static {
          try {
               r = new Robot();
          } catch (AWTException e) {
               throw new RuntimeException(e + "Robot couldn't be initialized.");
     public static void wait(int millis){
          r.delay(millis);
     public static void copy() {
          r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
          r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_C);
          r.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_C);
          r.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
     public static void altTab() {
          r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ALT);
          r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_TAB);
          r.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_TAB);
          r.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ALT);
               // more methods like paste(), tab(), shiftTab(), rightArrow()
}Do you thinks it is a good solution? How could it be improved? I've seen something about Singleton vs. static methods somewhere. Would it be better to use Singleton?
Thanks for any comments in advance,

I think a singleton might be a better approach for you. Just kill the public constructor and provide a getInstance method to provide lazy initialization.Thanks maheshguruswamy for advising on the steps to create a singleton from this class.
Could you maybe advise also about why do you say that it would be better to use singleton? What's behind it? Thanks!In short, it seems to me that a single instance of your class will be able to coordinate actions across your entire application. So a singleton should be enough.But that doesn't answer why he should prefer a singleton instead over a bunch of static methods. Functionally the two are almost identical. In both cases there's only one "thing" on which to call methods--either a single instance of the class, or the class itself.
To answer the question, the main reason to use a Singleton over a classful of static methods is the same reason the drives a lot of non-static vs. static decisions: Polymorphism.
If you use a Singleton (and and interface), you can do something like this:
KeyboardInput kbi = get_some_instance_of_some_class_that_implements_KeyboardInput_somehow_maybe_from_a_factory();And then whatever is calling KBI's public methods only has to know that it has an implementor of that interface, without caring which concrete class it is, and you can substitute whatever implementation is appropriate in a given context. If you don't need to do that, then the static method approach is probably sufficient.
There are other reasons that may suggest a Singleton--serialization, persistence, use as a JavaBean pop to mind--but they're less common and less compelling in my experience.
And finally, if this thing maintains any state between method calls, although you can handle that with static member variables, it's more in keeping with the OO paradigm to make them non-static fields of an instance of that class.

OS 10.6.6: security updates and upgrades

i bought an iMac about a year ago, with OS being 10.6.6. I haven't brought it yet on the web ( i use this portable PC ).
Before getting it on the web, i'll obviously will have to
   1 - update to 10.6.8   : is this presently the "top" update for 10.6 ?
    2 - from what i read snow leopard is a leap, SECURITY- -wise, behind even 10.7 ( mountain lion ). QUESTION: is an UPDATED snow leopard as web-secure
           as a 10.7,     8   or even    .9    ?

There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac will NOT be infected by a virus, it may have other security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.
You may find this User Tip on Viruses, Trojan Detection and Removal, as well as general Internet Security and Privacy, useful: The User Tip seeks to offer guidance on the main security threats and how to avoid them.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2435
More useful information can also be found here:
www.thesafemac.com/mmg
It would be at least partly true to say that the later the version of OS X, the better the security. The downside is: will you existing applications run?
(NB: PowerPC applications can still be run in Snow Leopard using Rosetta, but they will not work in later versions of OS X.)

Hello,
With one button you want to perform 3(Create, Update and Delete) operation
To create:
First check whether the data exist with full combination of Name,Desc and City.
If not exist you can execute the create function.
If exist, get confirmation to delete the item by pop up. Using item ID you can perform Delete operation
To Update:
How you want to update the item, by keeping unique value or combination of columns?
based on that you can perform the update operation.

Photoshop CS 5 crashes after updating and then using File -- Automate -- Batch

I am running Photoshop CS5 (build 12.0.4 x32) on my XP 32-bit machine and have done so without major problems until about a week ago.
Then all of a sudden when accessing File --> Automate --> Batch the program crashes and I have to force it shutting down manually after which I can restart Photoshop. When trying to access the batch command hereafter the same crash reappears rendering batch commands useless.
I thought about posting here but then decided to reinstall Photoshop again. This enables the fully working software including batch commands once again. However after a short while the update software asks to download and install some patches for all programs. After doing so the same problem happens again in regards to the batch command. Photoshop crashes when accessing it and won't work at all.
I now repeated this procedure twice and have no idea what to do about it.
Is there anybody that has had this experience or knows about a solution?
Do I have to contact Adobe with an error report?
Any help and comment is welcome and mostly appreciated.

Yes, a change in the Adobe update made the existing scanner bug show up more frequently. No, that does not make your statement correct. The bug exists in the scanner driver, and existed before the Adobe update.
The Adobe update is not the cause of the bug, it just made some unrelated change that made the bug appear more frequently. That could be something as simple as putting different values in different locations of memory. We don't know. Only the authors of the scanner driver can know for sure why it is crashing more often now.
Photoshop supports the TWAIN standard, but cannot be responsible for the bugs in the third party drivers that attempt to implement that standard.
The high frequency of bugs in TWAIN drivers is what made us move the TWAIN plugin to "optional" status in the first place -- because too many people were crashing, had a hard time figuring out the cause, and blamed Adobe for something completely beyond our control.
And we already do inform scanner vendors about all the bugs we find in their drivers. But we cannot force them to fix their bugs, nor can we know the nature of all of their bugs to code around them.
I understand that you're angry. But please stop trying to blame an innocent bystander.
Adobe cannot do anything to fix the bugs in your scanner driver. Only the authors of your scanner driver can fix the bugs in your scanner driver.
Until they provide an update to fix the bugs in the driver, your choices are to keep crashing, or not use that buggy scanner driver.
I am going to make this short.
It depends on how you look at it. From your angle, Adobe did their's and the scanner companies are to blame for their buggy software. What you are saying here would be - if compared - resemble a situation where you would go to a car dealer, buy a car, then drive away just to find that the trailer tow hitch you attached your old trailer to would keep falling off all the time. When confronting the dealer about the issue he would reply to you that you have to talk to the manufacturer of the trailer because the problem is their responsibility. How would you as a client react...?
Maybe it is true that the driver software is buggy. However it still did work though under other conditions before this update. That means that you updated something that made these things appear frequently. Maybe you don't know and only they do. Fair enough. But us customers don't have to work these problems out or live with them nor do we have to use our time on posting and fixing companies' errors and mistakes. That's what we pay you for. We only need to use this application hassle free on the spot. Maybe you should start crash testing in an controlled environment before you apply these updates and then post them. Or make a deal with those companies to do so for you. Maybe they will then ignore you or won't tell you about possible bugs to hike their own skin. Fair enough as well. Create some sort of program, a label or whatever that you apply and hand out only to those companies that are "certified by and working with Adobe software" and that they can put on their products or you on your very own Adobe website for all us customers to see and to use as a type of guidance in order to have working hardware and applications and avoid these errors.
There is this saying that goes...
"Where there's a will, there's a way"...!

I don't have enough space to update my iPhone. I back it up every night and I'm wonering if I can reset it, update, and then use backup to restore my data.

I don't have enough space to update my iPhone 5s. I back it up every night. I'm wondering if I can reset, update and then add the data back to my phone. Is there a better way? I've tried deleting pics and apps but still can't get enough room.

Try updating it via iTunes on a computer.

Using static methods in JavaBeans

Hi:
I am creating several beans as part of my application. Is it ok, to make all of them static (no global variables are used) and access in JSP's and Servlets as XXBean.method(var1, var 1). Is this a problem ? (vs creating a new XXBean and using it in every page/servlet).
I have gut feeling that static methods are better and give better memory usage and performance - as oppose in other scenario I am creating a new Bean for every page access - could not verify. and not sure not creating (new Bean) would give any problems.
Thanks for sharing.

I think you mixed up JavaBeans and Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs) ...
I think Sun Microsystems really named them badly ...
They are in fact totally different things ...
I agree with them.
Please read the tutorials first.

GUI component services: Use static methods or query direct parent?

Hi
I have a large panel (covers most of the window) that contains a square grid of smaller panels. Each smaller panel contains a square grid of buttons. For instance, PnlGrid contains a few PnlGridSections and each PnlGridSection contains some BtnGrids.
There is certain funtionality that must be available to BtnGrid objects but I am not sure if I should simply provide static methods in PnlGrid and access them from everywhere else in the code or have BtnGrid ask its direct parent (i.e. PnlGridSection) to deal with it.
For instance, I am currently using a static method, PnlGrid.getIconCache(), to retrieve a reference to the icon cache and locate the texture I need from within a BtnGrid. Would it more correct to retrieve a pointer to the direct parent of this button (i.e. PnlGridSection) and have him return the pointer to the icon cache?
Thanks

NEED HELP WITH USING STATIC METHOD - PLEASE RESPOND ASAP!

I am trying to set a value on a class using a static method. I have defined a servlet attribute (let's call it myAttribute) on my webserver. I have a serlvet (let's call it myServlet) that has an init() method. I have modified this init() method to retrieve the attribute value (myAttribute). I need to make this attribute value accessible in another class (let's call it myOtherClass), so my question revolves around not knowing how to set this attribute value on my other class using a static method (let's call it setMyStuff()). I want to be able to make a call to the static method setMyStuff() with the value of my servlet attribute. I dont know enough about static member variables and methods. I need to know what to do in my init() method. I need to know what else I need to do in myServlet and also what all I need in the other class as well. I feel like a lot of my problems revolve around not knowing the proper syntax as well.
Please reply soon!!! Thanks in advance.

Using static methods to instantiate an object

Hi,
I have a class A which has a static method which instantiates it. If I were to instantiate the class A twice with it's static method within class B then you would think class B would have two instances of class A, right?
Example:
class A
   static int i = 0;
   public A(int _i)
       i = _i;
   public static A newA(int _i)
        return new A(_i);
class B
    public B()
        A.newA(5);
        A.newA(3);
        System.out.println(A.i);
    public static void main(String[] args)
        B b = new B();
}Is there really two instances of class A or just one? I think it would be the same one because if you check the int i it would be 3 and not 5. Maybe static instantiated objects have the same reference within the JVM as long as you don't reference them yourself?
-Bruce

It
seems like you are the only one having trouble
understanding the question.Well I was only trying to help. If you don't want any help, its up to you, but if that's the case then I fail to see why you bothered posting in the first place...?
Allow me to point out the confusing points in your posts:
you would think class B would have two
instances of class A, right?The above makes no sense. What do you mean by one class "having" instances of another class? Perhaps you mean that class B holds two static references to instances of Class A, but in your code that is not the case. Can you explain what you mean by this?
Is there really two instances of class
A or just one?You have created two instances.
>I think it would be the same one because if you
check the int i it would be 3 and not 5.
I fail to see what that has to do with the number of instances that have been created...?
Maybe static instantiated objects have the
same reference within the JVM as long as you
don't reference them yourself????? What is a "static instantiated object"? If you mean that it was created via some call to a static method, then how is it different to creating an object inside the main method, or any other method that was called by main? (i.e. any method)
What do you mean by "the same reference within the JVM"? The same as what?
What happened to the first call "A.newA(5)"?
I think it was overidden by the second call
"A.newA(3)".As i already asked, what do you mean by this?
If you change the line for the constructor
in A to i = i * i you will get "9" as the
output, if you delete the call "A.newA(3)"
you will get "25" as the output. Yes. What part of this is cauing a problem?

Best practice for using static methods

When i want to call a static method, should i call:
1) classInstance.staticMethod()
or should i call
2) ClassName.staticMethod()??
is the first style bad programming practice?

dubwai: which compiler?I had assumed that this was what the JLS specifies, but intsead, it goes into length how to make the runtime environment treat calls to static methods on instances as if they were static calls on the variable's type.
However, I imagine anyone creating a compiler would go ahead and compile calls to static methods on instances to static calls on the variable's type instead of going through the effort of making the runtime environment treat calls to static methods on instances as if they were static calls on the variable's type.
But of course, it is concievable that somone didn't in their compiler. I doubt it but it is possible. Sun does compile calls to static methods on instances to static calls on the variable's type:
public class Garbage
    public static void main(String[] args)
        Garbage g = null;
        method();
        g.method();
    public static void method()
        System.out.println("method");
public class playground.Garbage extends java.lang.Object {
    public playground.Garbage();
    public static void main(java.lang.String[]);
    public static void method();
