What is the architecture for a kiosk application?

Hi gurus,
What do you think is the best option for a kiosk application, running on a touch screen station, that doesn't allow the user to switch to other apps?
I'm think on an applet, or a web page, or a JFrame in full screen (if that is possible).
Any ideas from your vast expertise?

There's no way to to ensure that a user can not switch apps using pure java. The operation system has to support kiosk mode in order to do something like that (e.g. Windows WEPos).
You can, however, get pretty close using a JFrame in full screen exclusive mode (http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/GraphicsDevice.html#setFullScreenWindow(java.awt.Window)). A tool like auto hotkey can be used to disable things like alt+tab, and you can disable the task manager in group policies.

  • What are the rules for adds on applications made in xcode?

    A lot depends upon the resolution of the export image as to
    how sharp it
    will appear. The higher the resolution the sharper your
    edges, but the trade
    off is file size. The reality is that the highest monitor
    resolution is only
    the equivilent of 96dpi.
    In terms of file types the gif format is best for items like
    vector art and
    the jpg format is best for photos.

  • What is the APEX for?

    Hello, everyone.
    Here is a question - What is the APEX for? Can it be usable for production? For a pro?
    I create an application, but I know nothing about HTML, javascript and other site-made-stuff. But my application is working pretty well. And it scares me. Can I put it in open-WEB? How about security? Strong to hackers? Does it safe enough?
    Is anybody using APEX for a PRO? Only APEX, I mean.. Or it's only for home-fun-with-my-database?
    Thanks for answers..

    Hi there
    Short & Sweet answers
    A.What is the APEX for?
    Oracle Application Express (Oracle APEX), formerly called HTML DB, is a rapid web application development tool for the Oracle database. Using only a web browser and limited programming experience, you can develop and deploy professional applications that are both fast and secure.
    B.Can it be usable for production? For a pro?
    Yes
    C.I create an application, but I know nothing about HTML, javascript and other site-made-stuff.
    You can learn ...steep learning curve initially...
    D.Can I put it in open-WEB?
    Depends...
    How about security?

    You can probably change the ID in the "iTunes and App stores" settings on the iPad....click on the wrong account ID , select sign out, then log in with your own ID, I have not done this but I think it works.....
    but I would be more inclined to to the factory reset and start afresh.

  • What is the alternative for DisplayMemberPath="Value" for Windows Store applications?

    I think there is a bug with Windows Store Applications when it comes to using DisplayMemberPath="Value".
    Here is my code

    If you use this code in WPF in works perfectly. However if you use this code in a Windows Store Application then the Combo Box is empty and an error is thrown. So is there an alternative way to do this in Windows Store Applications and have I unearthed a

  • What is the fix for some applications repeatedly asking permission to accept incoming connections?

    What is the fix for some applications repeatedly asking permission to accept incoming connections?
    On every restart, AutoPairs and Epson Event Manager asks me to reject or agree to allow incoming connections. It is very aggravating and time-wasting. I know other Mac users who have the identical problem with other applications on their Macs.
    Isn't there some way to make my Mac understand that "Yes" means "Yes" once and for all?
    I am presently running Yosemite, but this was a problem with prior OS X versions too.
    Respectfully,
    Nate

    This is a comment on why you might, or might not, want to use the built-in Application Firewall.
    The firewall blocks incoming network traffic, regardless of origin, on a per-application basis. By default it's off, and when turned on, it allows applications digitally signed by Apple, and only those applications, to listen on the network. It does not block outgoing traffic, nor can it distinguish between different sources of incoming traffic, nor does it filter traffic by content.
    No matter how it's configured, the firewall is not, as some imagine, a malware filter. If that's what you expect it to do, forget it. All it will do is bombard you with pointless alerts.
    Consider some scenarios in which you may expect the firewall to be useful.
    1. You enable file sharing, and you allow guest access to certain folders. That means you want people on your local network, but not outsiders, to be able to access those shared folders without having to enter a password. In the default configuration, the firewall will allow that to happen. The router prevents outsiders from accessing the shares, whether the application firewall is on or off. But if your computer is portable and you connect it to an untrusted network such as a public hotspot, the firewall will still allow access to anyone, which is not what you want. It does not protect you in this scenario.
    2. You unknowingly install a trojan that steals your data and uploads it to a remote server. The firewall, no matter how it's configured, will not block that outgoing traffic. It does nothing to protect you from that threat.
    3. A more likely scenario: The web browser or the router is compromised by an attacker. The attack redirects all web traffic to a bogus server. The firewall does not protect you from this threat.
    4. You're running a public web server. Your router forwards TCP connection requests on port 80 to your Mac, and the connections are accepted by the built-in web server, which is codesigned by Apple. The application firewall, still configured as above, allows this to happen. An attacker hacks into the system and tries to hijack port 80 and replace the built-in web server with one that he controls. The good news here is that the firewall does protect you; it blocks incoming connections to the malicious server and alerts you. But the bad news is that you've been rooted. The attacker who can do all this can just as easily turn off the firewall, in which case it doesn't protect you after all.
    5. You're running a Minecraft server on the local network. It listens on a high-numbered port. You, as administrator, have reconfigured the firewall to pass this traffic. An attacker is able to log in to a standard account on the server. He figures out how to crash Minecraft, or he just waits for you to quit it, and then he binds his own, malicious, Minecraft server to the same port. The firewall blocks his server, and because he's not an administrator, he can't do anything about it. In this scenario, the security is genuine.
    6. Here is a more realistic scenario in which you might have reason to enable the firewall. Your MacBook has sharing services enabled. You want those services to be available to others on a home or office network. When you're on those networks, the firewall should be off. When you move to an untrusted network, you can either turn off all the services, or enable the firewall with a non-default configuration to block them. Blocking is easier: one click instead of several.

  • What is the query for Accounts Payable Trial Balance (APXTRBAL) in 11.5.10?

    Hi Guys,
    What is the query for Accounts Payable Trial Balance (APXTRBAL) in 11.5.10?
    I have to write an AP Invoice Aging Report in Discoverer to show all unpaid invoices that have been transferred into GL... Business wants it to match one-to-one with the AP Trial Balance standard report...
    Business wants to run the report for any date in a past...
    The report has two parameters:
    As Of Date - the same as As of Date for the AP Trial Report
    Trial Balance Run Date - the date when Trial Balance was run...
    Conditions are:
    TRUNC(Invoice Date) <=TRUNC(NVL(TO_DATE(:As Of Date),SYSDATE))
    TRUNC(NVL(Payment Date,'01-JAN-5000')) > TRUNC(NVL(TO_DATE(:As Of Date),SYSDATE))
    TRUNC(Invoice Creation Date) <= TRUNC(NVL(TO_DATE(:Trial Balance Run Date),SYSDATE))
    Distr Accounting Date <= TRUNC(NVL(TO_DATE(:As Of Date),SYSDATE))
    NVL(Distr Creation Date,Invoice Creation Date) <= TRUNC(NVL(TO_DATE(:Trial Balance Run Date),SYSDATE))
    Show_Flag = 'YES', where:
    Show_Flag = CASE WHEN ( NVL(Cancelled Date,'01-JAN-1901') > NVL(:As Of Date,SYSDATE) AND NVL(Inv Amount Aud,0) = 0 ) THEN 'YES' ELSE ( CASE WHEN NVL(Inv Amount Aud,0) = 0 THEN 'NO' ELSE 'YES' END ) END
    There is a difference between the logic of my report, and the logic of AP Trial Balance...
    Could you please advise what I'm missing?
    Thanks,
    Iana

    What is the query for Accounts Payable Trial Balance (APXTRBAL) in 11.5.10? You can get the code by opening the report in Reports Builder and get the query.

  • I have a fairly new mac book pro with retina display- I have not tried installing anything other OS on it. In spite of that yesterday when I turned it on, I got the error: no bootable device insert boot disk and press any key. what is the reason for this?

    I swithced it on by clicking on options when I start up and then clicked on Macintosh HD. the other option was a question mark and network drive.
    Is there a way to ensure it never happens again, what is the cause for this problem, if I need to uninstall some application, i am happy to do it as long as I know what is causing this conflict.
    many thanks!

    Something is not making sense here.
    You claim this is a brand new machine and you have not tried to install Windows or Boot Camp.
    Then why would you ever even go into System Preferences > Startup Disk and choose Macintosh HD? It should have automatically booted into Macintosh HD.
    You're probably going to have to reinstall Mac OS X.

  • What Is The Criteria For Reloading objects and JSP Pages?

    I have a JSP application that consists of many HTML, JSP & JavaBean files.
              Since I am in the middle of the development phase I am making lots of
              modifications to the code. I've noticed that much of the time if I recompile
              a JavaBean into a class file WebLogic does not reload the updated class.
              In my weblogic.properties file my servlet reload property is:
              C:/weblogic/myserver/servletclasses
              All my JavaBean class files reside in a sub-directory of that directory. For
              example:
              C:/weblogic/myserver/servletclasses/org/hhmi/award/JavaBean1.class
              How come these beans don't get reloaded each time? Is there a different
              WebLogic property I should use? What is the criteria for re-loading a class
              file anyway?
              Thanks in advance,
              Matt
              

    BTW, I tried this in 6.1 and it does reload modified classes in
              WEB-INF/classes, but, sure enough, it results in ClassCastException's etc, for
              example:
              <%
              Foo foo = (Foo)session.getAttribute("foo");
              session.setAttibute("foo", new Foo());
              %>
              will result in ClassCastException if Foo was modified.
              So, if 6.1 tracks class modifications, then why doen't it trigger application
              redeployment? It can definitely be more convinient than touching 'REDEPLOY'
              file.

  • What is the cause for the mac to become slow

    what is the cause for the mac to become slow?

    Things You Can Do To Resolve Slow Downs
    If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
    Start with a visit to: OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney.
    Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Repair the Hard Drive - Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot from your Lion Recovery HD. When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
    Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is Disk Warrior;  DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.  Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger.  These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
    OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
    I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack.  If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line.  Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
      1. Carbon Copy Cloner
      2. Data Backup
      3. Deja Vu
      4. SuperDuper!
      5. SyncTwoFolders
      6. Synk Pro
      7. Synk Standard
      8. Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
    Additional suggestions will be found in Mac maintenance Quick Assist.
    Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
    Additional Hints
    Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
    Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
    Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
    Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu.  Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
    Often this problem occurs because of a corrupted cache or preferences file or an attempt to write to a corrupted log file.

  • Re: (forte-users) Ok, what's the "secret" for setting serverside envi

    Dear Robinson,
    It seems to be that you have 2 ways of solving the problem:
    1) restart forte after setting the environment variables
    2) write a little application which sets the required variables, using
    the task.part.OperatingSystem.SetEnv(name,value) method.
    If you have to chage the variables rarely, then it`s easier to restart forte,
    otherwise I would suggest to use the SetEnv function...
    Best Regards,

    Richard,
    There is no way of changing the environment variable once the Node
    Manager is up. You will have to shutdown the node manager and then restart
    it to have the new environment variables take effect. Sorry, there is no
    secret way of doing this that I know of.
    But you can set the variables on you development machine and run you
    application without distributing. This way the partition will be running in
    your client machine and not the server.
    Another way we have also got around this is by having a special
    environment variable on the client side that opens a admin screen when you
    run you application. This admin screen will allow you to change the
    environment variables and then set them on the server partition. You will
    have to do come coding on the server to make this happen but if you are
    using a framework then it should be easy. We call this developer reconnect
    facility. It only can be activated by the special client side environment
    variable. I comes in very handy when we are development and want to change
    the database on the server partition.
    Hope this help.

  • What is the location for the swatches file in the illustrator product part of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium for windows (date and lenght)? File that manges its funcionallity.  Thanks

    As per adobe agent chat representative, the following question is posted on the fórum to obtain an answe from adobe.
    What is the location for the swatches file in the illustrator product part of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium for windows (date and lenght)? File that manges its funcionallity.
    Thanks
    <moved from downloading,installing,setting up - kglad>

    Illustrator is not working as it should...
    I want them to compare the original size and date of creation with what I have installed on my computer... I have installed several times with my original CD and I tried once downloading the files from the adobe site (using my own license). I suspect the files has been modified or renamed on my laptop by an external unauthorized user causing the malfunction of the application. 
    Customer services does not support CS3 anymore and the updates / patches in the adobe site does not solve the problem... They redirect me to the forums for support...
    Presently, my problem is that after creating a swatch and drag it to the swatch panel, it does not fill as it should a new form... Now, after deactivating and activating my license the swatch seems to fill the new form but when the filter that the swatch has is persistence in the next filling object created even though a different color is being used as a fill (X)... Help in the creation of a swatch over the internet just complicate the issue.
    That's why I would like to know whether updates on my product are being received or files are being replaced without my knowledge...
    Thanks...
    PS Do you know how to contact a staff adobe employer on the forums?
