Implement Digital signatures in adobe using sap

how do i implement digital signatures in adobe using sap web dynpro netweaver and abap for backend? if you can provide some documents or links that can help for the same.

Hello,
You can add digital signatures and/or encryption to the document going out of the SAP system.
To add a signature from WDA you can use the PDFObject API.

I have an apple tv 1st generation, and there is a setting for airtunes. can someone tell me what this is and how to use it?

I have an apple tv 1st generation, and there is a setting for airtunes. can someone tell me what this is and how to use it?

I've looked at that, but on my PC, "look for remote speakers connected with airtunes" isn't an option.
The only options I get are "prevent ipods [etc] from syncing automatically" , "warn me when [X %] of the data on this computer will be changed" and "forget all remotes". Its also got a list of backups I have saved, as well as a button to reset sync history.
When I am playing a song, the "airplay" button isn't even visible.
I am sure that the apple tv setting is on as well. Is there anything else you can help me with?

Hi Jay
Web items and HTML elements (for example, tables, texts, and images) that you insert into a Web template, as well as the Web template itself, have a context menu. This context menu has context-sensitive menu entries that you can use to call various Web Application Designer functions. You can, for example, use the context menu to save a Web item (for which you have specified properties by using the parameters) as a reusable Web item, call the properties dialog box for this Web item, copy the Web item and paste it into another Web template, or delete the Web item from the Web template.

How to use " toFront() " method in java application and in which package or

How to use " toFront() " method in java application and in which package or class having this toFront() method.if anybody know pl. send example.

The API documentation has a link at the top of every page that says "Index". If you follow that and look for toFront(), you will find it exists in java.awt.Window and javax.swing.JInternalFrame.
To use it in a Java application, create an object x of either of those two classes and write "x.toFront();".

What is your opinion on applet-servlet approach here.
Please suggest.

What you've got sounds good.
If you're not going to build EJBs then you probably don't need JBoss.
Tomcat is the servlet engine for JBoss so you're getting the same thing but lighter by just using it.
The important thing is to make sure you have a nice separation of concerns. If you separate all of the database access by creating data access objects (DAO) objects that return plain old Java objects (POJO) then you can, if you choose, easily swap in Hibernate or another ORM Tool.

Using EJBs in Web Dynpro Applications

I have recently started to develop Web applications using the Web Dynpro framework. Coming from a pure J2EE world, I must admit that Web Dynpro has a few innovative features that I find interesting for user interface development. The use of component & view contexts, for example, is not unlike the ActionForms that one may find in a Struts application, but pushed a bit further. No complaints here.
What I do have some problems with is the whole CommandBean paradigm that is put forth by SAP (refer to the document <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/webdynpro/using%20ejbs%20in%20web%20dynpro%20applications.pdf">Using EJBs in Web Dynpro Applications</a>).
I do understand the usefulness of defining a model that will be used to generate and eventually bind to Context data structures. That's fine. What I do object to is the use of a so-called CommandBean to play that role. Again, coming from a J2EE world, I am familiar with the BusinessDelegate pattern - which would typically be used by a client application to invoke business logic on the server side. I would propose that a better, cleaner way of integrating EJBs with the Web Dynpro framework would be to use a BusinessDelegate for invoking business logic, and importing a separate and distinct ModelBean (instead of a CommandBean) to be used for defining and binding to Context data.
I have built one Web Dynpro application thus far. Instead of using a CommandBean, I created a ModelBean that extends my business object DTO (Data Transfer Object) (which is quite appropriate for that role, given that it implements all the get & set methods that are required for the business data that I need to model). My Web Dynpro application also makes use of an independant BusinessDelegate that is packaged with my EJB DC - this is a standard best practice on J2EE projects. I have been asked by the people working with me to modify this architecture to bring it more in line with the SAP way of doing things. I am open-minded and willing to learn and accept new ways of thinking and doing things. However, I fail to understand the usefulness of merging structure and behaviour by resorting to CommandBeans:
- It violates the MVC paradigm by having one object (the CommandBean) serve as both model AND controller as far as the Web Dynpro application is concerned. The CommandBean is obviously a model - since it is literally imported as such into the Web Dynpro application. It is ALSO a controller from the Web Dynpro's application perspective, since all calls to the back-end go thru the CommandBean via one or more of its execute_xxx methods. In contrast, the use of a business delegate by the Web Dynpro application clearly separates the model (the CommandBean... or rather, a more suitably named ModelBean) from the controller (BusinessDelegate).
- Doesn't carry its own weight. In other words, I haven't yet been provided with any valid justification for going thru the extra effort of coding the CommandBean's execute methods. It's been proposed to me that it somehow serves as an abstraction layer between the Web Dynpro application and the business logic. I would argue that it is the BusinessDelegate's role to abstract away the back-end logic from clients. If one does have a BusinessDelegate available, I would argue there's no need to code execute methods in a separate CommandBean. To prove my point, I would simply point out that all of the CommandBean examples that I have seen so far, either in How-To documents, or in production code, all follow the same pattern....
CommandBean.execute_doSomething() calls BusinessDelegate.doSomething()
Not a heck of an "abstraction" layer... I would in fact argue that it is worse than useless. If some major change occurs in the business logic that requires changing the doSomething() operation, we expect of course to modify the BusinessDelegate. The Web Dynpro client will also presumably need to be modified - that's to be expected, and unavoidable. But then, we'll also need to go about and change the CommandBean's execute_doSomething() method - again, extra work for no apparent benefit. Adding and removing business methods has the same implication. All this for an layer that simply adds the prefix execute_ in front of all business method calls... Is this "abstraction layer" worth the cost of creating and maintaining it ??
- Unnecessarily complicates error handling. I have been told that for technical reasons, it is recommended that all exceptions thrown by the CommandBean be of type WDException or WDRuntimException. But what if the client application needs to react differently to different failure scenarios ? When I create a business object, I might wish to provide the user with an error messages if connection is lost to the backend, and with a different error message if an object already exists in the database with the same attributes. In order to do that, I will have to catch the WDException, extract the cause, and continue processing from there... possible, yes, but clearly less standard and more labor intensive than the classical try/catch mechanism.
To say nothing about the fact that SAP's own API documentation clearly states that applications using Web Dynpro can reference and catch WDExceptions, but THEY MUST NOT THROW OR EXTEND IT !
- Produces unnecessary DCs. Page 6 of the aforementioned document presents an architectural view of a Web Dynpro project that uses a CommandBean. Why an extra DC for the CommandBean ?? I created my ModelBean class right inside the Web Dynpro project (in the Package view). That, to me, is where this class should reside, because it is created for no other reason that to be used by this particular Web Dynpro application. What is the benefit of placing it in its own independant DC ?
- Not a typical application of the Command pattern. The well-documented command pattern (Design Patterns - Gang of Four) has been devised mainly to enable encapsulation of request as objects, thereby making it possible to:
- specify, queue and execute requests at different times
- decouple execution of a command from its invoker
- support undo operations
- support logging changes so that they can be reapplied in case of system crash making it possible to assemble commands into composite commands (macros), thereby structuring a system around high-level operations built on primitive operations.
None of this applies to the way the SAP CommandBeans are being used. Not that much of an issue to people new to J2EE and/or OO development... but quite confusing for those already familiar with the classic Command pattern.
At this point, I fail to understand the advantage of merging structure (model) and behaviour (execute methods) through the use of a unique CommandBean object. Am I missing something ?

Hi Romeo,
You would be disappointed, this reply ain't anywhere nearby to what you are talking about...
I wanted to mail you, but you have not mentioned your email in your profile.
I am really impressed by your flair for writing. It would be far better had you written a blog on this topic. Believe me, it would really be better. There is a much wider audience waiting out there to read your views rather than on the forums. This is what I believe. To top it, you would be rewarded for writing something like this from SDN. On the blogs too, people can comment and all, difference being there you would be rewarded by SDN, here people who reply to you would be rewarded by you. Doesn't make much a difference.
Anyways the ball is still in your court
As far as I am concerned, it has still not been much time since I have started working on Web Dynpro. So can't really comment on the issue...
Bye

How can I distribute my web-based app properly?

I created a web-based application that contain CWGraph3D.ocx and CWAnalysis.ocx. My ComponentWork's version is 6.0. During development and compilcation, there is no problem (I developed my app. in VB6sp5). After that I use Package and Development Wizard of VB to create HTML page and its cab file. During this operation, I got the message mentioned that my CWAnalysis.ocx (only this ocx) doesn't match with the register in the registry. I just clicked on 'No' to accept this. Finally, I create LPK file to include in my html page file. My LPK file includes runtime licenses of CWArray, CWMatrix, CWComplex, CWDSP, and CWGraph3D. After I uploaded my app to web site, the other computers can load my web page, but it is the bla
nk page because something wrongs in the components. There is no any nofication or error from Internet Explorer. So I tried to test something to find out the problem. I remove CWAnalysis and redo all processes, it doesn't work. I remove CWGraph3D and redo again, it works! So I moved back CWAnalsysis, and redo it again, it doesn't work. I assume that there are some problems in ComponentWorks. But I don't know how to solve this problem.
Thank you.

So the error message basically says that CWanalysis control does not match with the information in the registry. Did a re-install help any? Is this the only development machine causing the problem. One thing to try is re-installing the control, by uninstalling Measurement Studio, unregister the cwanalysis.ocx ( using regsvr32), delete the ocx file, reboot and then re-install Measurement Studio. This would make sure that the controls get installed correctly.
Also, check out this link for dealing with issues of the Package and Deployment wizard.
I hope this helps

Using CSS for Web dynpro application in EP

Hi,
I have some CSS (Style sheets) which I need to apply to the portal, so that all the web dynpro applications can have the same look and feel.
I read something about Theme Editor in EP. Can I somehow use that to import the CSS contents into the EP theme?
Any pointer to using CSS for Web Dynpro applications will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Yes, it's possible and it runs.
You will need:
- Application Server 4.0.7 or above (with 4.0.7 without patch,
do not install it on Win NT with SP4, it doesn't run
- Developer Server (may be it is not on your distribution CD for
Developer, but you can download or order it from OTN)
- JInitiator (the Oracle Java PlugIn, also available from otn)
for your end user's browser
Tip:
look very carefully at the documentation AND readmes. Also, if
you do this job for the first time, be prepared for some days of
work before your first form runs as a java applet...

Dear sampathdevunuri kumar,
You may develop the addon based on SDK DIServer for required function.
The DI Server is an extension of the DI API and supports all its objects. It is intended for high-volume data integration, where numerous client connections must be managed simultaneously and optimized for speed. It is also suitable where Web-services architecture is preferred.
Please refer to SDK help and SDK DIServer sample for more information.

How do I convert a web based file to a PDF file?

How do I convert a web based file to a PDF file? I know that you "Print to File" but for some reason that is not working for me. I have Adobe Reader X, shouldn't that be able to create a PDF like this, or is there another program that I need to do this? Thanks.

Hi, gfrerichs.
Reader X cannot create a PDF file - it can only view and print existing PDF files.
In order to create a PDF file (for example, print a webpage as a PDF, as you mentioned), you can purchase our CreatePDF service. This service includes a CreatePDF Printer which can print web pages to PDF.
Or you could purchase Acrobat, which can also convert webpages to PDF.

Digital Signatures - how to prevent anyone from using my name

I've created a bunch of forms that have digital signatures enabled. When I've created one either with the PKCS or the Windows Certificate, what's to prevent anyone else from just typing my name, email address and Company Name? Yes, I can create one and save it with a password, but anyone can do that. I'm confused how I can ask our users to use digital signatures on internal documents, then have them email to accounting or HR, yet there's nothing to prevent anyone from using anyone else's name (ie how can I prove that it wasn't me that signed it)?
Is there nothing that's tied to Windows ie I can't use my login ID on our domain unless I use my network password? That's really the ONLY way I can prove I'm me.

Self-signed digital signatures are precisely that - the person creating them is the only one attesting to the contents, so you can make a perfectly-valid self-signed ID for Canta Claus of you want to. The critical thing to remember is that a self-signed ID will only validate if the recipient has your keyfile to compare it to. On your own machine it will show as valid because the key is present, but if you send the PDF to anyone else it will show as invalid unless you have separately transferred them a copy of your keyfile. It's that second file which tells them the ID is really yours, as they can physically check where it came from (e.g. by phoning you up). The recipient would then have to manually add the keyfile to the trusted list in Acrobat or Adobe Reader, and finally your PDF signature will get the green tick.
Self-signed IDs are find for internal company workflows as everyone can share their keyfiles, and the IT department can manage what's going on. If you're using digital IDs in a public setting you should never use self-signed certificates, instead you should purchase an ID from a Certificate Authority - a company whose IDs are tied to the 'root certificates' embedded in Acrobat and Adobe Reader. The CA will require proof of identity before selling you the cert, and so anyone can verify it's genuine without needing to contact you. CAS-issued certs for signing PDF files are not cheap, there are several vendors out there and I won't comment on which may be better.
