What is the best way of accessing application module without page binding?
In my application after user authenticated from LDAP
I need to read some information from database and set my menues.
Thanks

Hi,
if you don't have a binding the I am not sure the binding context is created. Anyway, try
BindingContext.getCurrent().findDataControl("name here as ID in DataBindings.cpx") and see if it returns a valid instance

What is the best way to delete applications?

I am told that my Mac came with everything I need in the way of programs for basic functions. What is the best way to delete applications making sure there are no threads left in Library and other places?

Yes, but not always. An example of what I call "System" files/folders would be Quicktime or things like pre-installed print and scanner drivers. You have to be pretty confident to go rummaging through files in either /System or /Library. Most of the time there is no reason to be in there.
An example of a file that is in those system folders, that does not come pre-installed as of Lion, is Flash plug-ins. That gets installed in the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
But your average App downloaded from the MAS, most of it's files will be in the User Folder ~/username

What's the best commercial clean up tool for the hard drive.

What is the best commercial, clean up tool for an internal hard drive. Mine is rapidly being filled and I'm at a loss as to how to clean it up. I don't know what apps, downloads etc are current or pertinent. I suspect that I have a lot of redundency, but I'm not confident in knowing what they are. My hard drive is approx. 93% filled and I'm rather concerned.

I downloaded the free trial of EasyDuplicatFinder and tried it. Works great and is pretty easy to get the hang of it. Found lots of iTunes duplicate songs that I dumped and freed up quite a bit of hard drive space. Check it out.

What is the best mac cleaner and anti virus for mac pro.

what is the best mac cleaner and anti virus for mac pro.

OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it updated with software updates from Apple.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Disable Java in Safari > Preferences > Security.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

What is the best imac cleaning product "cleanmymac"

what is the best imac cleaning product i have looked at cleanmymac but do not want to pay the price for something if it is not the best. HELP!!!

Try this - no harm in doing this, and you may see some instant improvement.
Open Terminal - type this in (without quotes) "sudo periodic daily weekly monthly" - put in your computer password when it asks. When it finishes running (about 5 mins or so) you'll be back at a blinking cursor.
Activity Monitor was suggested and is good advice. See if anything is consuming either huge amount of CPU cycles or RAM.
Depending on how often you delete and add stuff to your drive, you might wanna defrag it. I do mine about every six months or so. This article is nice - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4032 - I use a program called iDefrag and have it run offline overnight, but I am sure there are others.

What is the best practice with Jclient application

Hi all:
If we have some oracle Jclient(bc4j+swing) solution application system , how to co-work with Oracle workflow ?
what is the best solution to integrate these technology ?

There are a few PDF documents about the Workflow Java API. Try to locate "Oracle Workflow and Java Technical White Paper" for 2.6.2 version.
However, please note that Workflow PL/SQL API is far richer and more flexible that its JAVA equivalent.
Also, take into account the different ways workflow engine executes an activity, if the underyling code is written in Java or PL/SQL. If you select the Java API to implement workflow activities, then 2 scripts must be running at all times so that workflows proceed. These are the Java Function Activity Agent and the Workflow Background Engine. Details are included in the above document.
Our experience has shown that:
1) Implementation of workflow activities via Java API is slower and more complex than PL/SQL API, because java classes are considered as external prcoedures.
2) Not all PL/SQL procedures are included in Java API.
3) For workflows with high throughput, the Java Function Activity Agent becomes a bottleneck.
Please note that Oracle has announced several months ago the OW4J (Oracle Workflow for Java). Check a beta version at OTN, together with some features and specs. However, a final version is still pending.

OSX 10.9.4 What is the best cache cleaner?

I have a MascBook Pro with 16GB of memory. My file cache is using 1.34 GB of memory. What is the best program to use for cleaning file cache?

None.
Apps like MacKeeper or any other maintenance apps like CleanMyMac 1 or 2, TuneUpMyMac, MacCleanse or anything like these apps, installed on your Mac, while they appear to be helpful, can do too good a job of data "cleanup" causing the potential to do serious data corruption or data deletion and render a perfectly running OS completely dead and useless leaving you with a frozen, non-functional Mac.
Plus, these type of apps aren't really necessary OR needed. They really aren't.
There are manual methods to clear off unnecessary data off of your Mac that are safer and you have complete control over your Mac and not just leave a piece of auto cleaning software in charge of clearing off data off of your Mac. Their potential of causing OS X issues outweighs the implied good and benefits these types of hard drive or memory "cleaning" apps are written to do.
These types of system 'cleaning" apps are very poorly written and are really a scam to rob newbie and novice Mac users of their hard earned cash for a poorly written maintenance program that will do much more harm to a perfectly normal running OS X system than the good that the app developers purport these types of apps will do.
Plus, the software companies that write these apps make it hard to easily uninstall these apps if something DOES go wrong and these apps work in a way where you have no recovery or revert function to return your Mac back to its former, working state in the event something does go wrong.
It is best to never, EVER download and install these types of apps.
The risk to your system and important data is too great a risk!

What is the best way to remove applications?

I would like to remove unused applications (iChat, Dashboard, iCalendar and so on...)
I am running audio software and using CPU quite heavily.
What wold be the best way to remove these types of applications completely and have as minimal running in the background possible??? (I have already turned off Bluetooth, Airport etc...)
Should I install removal software or just send them all to the Trash bin?

None of those applications are running unless you launch them. Dashboard widgets only use CPU time and RAM if they are running. If you quit all widgets in the Dashboard then there's no memory footprint or use of the CPU.
If you don't want anything but essentials running then don't launch any applications and remove any Login Items from Accounts preferences.
Just because an application is installed on the computer does not mean it is running unless you launch it or configure it to launch automatically. So there is no need to remove any of these applications or utilities.
You will find some good books on Macs and computers in general at your local bookstore. Your question suggests that you could benefit by reading a few.
As for how to uninstall applications that you have installed see the following:
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
AppZapper
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on removing software.

What is the best way to deploy application that uses web services?

Hi all,
I'm having some problems figuring out the best way to deploy our app now that we've switched over to using web services.
I'm fairly new to Java and web services. From what I understand, JNLP and WebStart are methods to deploy Java clients to users and not for creating war files and the like.
Here's a little background:
We have a large PowerBuilder/Oracle application. The db consists of over 500 tables and the client consists of several thousand PB components. A user creates "transactions" which contain a series of "sub-transactions" within. Most of the data is collected and stored locally in the client in a series of datastores. When the "finalize" happens, the records are validated and sent to the database.
We are in the process of moving each of the subtransactions (currently in the PB client) into subPROCESSES on a java project. We are using the JAX-WS framework to develop the web services in Netbeans. These web services aren't much more than remote xml as the messaging technology. For writing data back to the database, we are using the Java Persistence API to function outside of an EJB container but will shortly be migrating to the Glassfish application server to use several of the EJB container frameworks including the EntityManager.
We haven't attempted any type of deployment and are unsure of where to start. Any suggestions would be so helpful and appreciated!
Thanks!

It is for launching rich client GUI based (AWT, Swing, SWT..) applications onto the end-user's desktop.
There are some parts of JWS that might seem peripherally useful to the installation of a web-app., but it is really not a 'good fit'.

HT202665 What are the best Discs to use with my Apple USB SuperDrive?

HHi,
i have an Apple USB SuperDrive, would like to know which are the best Blank Discs to use please, I live in the United Kimgdom

I don't use so many disks nowadays but when we do, I really only try to make sure they are a recognised brand (Phillips, Maxwell, TDK etc etc), technology has moved on from having to worry about which you use. I would avoid brands you've never heard of though.

What are the best disc doctor tools

Okay, my G5 is running like a Commodore 64! It is SLOW and freezing all the time! it freezes on iPhoto, Mail, ..... just about anything actually to the point where it won't force quit and we are having to hold down the old international reset button.
What are the steps to go down. I've run the standard TechTool tests which seemed to pass okay. Can somebody give me the process to go through here...
I haven't Loaded any new software recently, nothing dramatic has changed on our Mac... it started to slow down so the only changes I have made is to move alot of gear off our HD and onto a external drive.
We have 191 GB free, 1.5 GB DDR SDRAM. Please... I am about to throw this out for a new computer but feel a computer with this much grunt should be able to be salvaged.
Please help!!

The most important thing to do is backup your data as my FAQ explains:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
Next check that the problem isn't occuring in a second user in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Accounts.
If it is, then you have a system wide issue. If you have a system wide issue, the first utility I'd try is Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility to repair permissions.
Next if that doesn't work, verify disk. If verify disk reveals errors, boot off the 10.4 installer disk to repair disk as my directory FAQ explains:
http://www.macmaps.com/directoryfaq.html
If the directory is good, try running Macjanitor:
http://personalpages.tds.net/~brian_hill/macjanitor.html
If you still don't have the problem solved, go over this FAQ on the fonts:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607630
If you still haven't solved the problem, then I'd ask if you have ever seen a kernel panic with no third party peripherals attached. Here's my FAQ on kernel panics:
http://www.macmaps.com/kernelpanic.html
If you have, I suggest replacing the RAM.

My macbook pro is slowing down!what is the best way to speed it up?what is the best drive cleaner application i can use?

my macbook pro is slowing down!i was looking for drive cleaning applications bau i couldn't decide which one is more useful!

There are NO applications that will make your MBP run faster. At best they will have no effect, at worst they will create more problems.
Start with this comprehensive trouble shooting document.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3521
Pay particular attention to the Hard Drive and third party applications.
Ciao.
