What is the best way to deploy Flash in the Enterprise?

We would like to deploy Flash Player in our corporate environment.
Users are NOT administrators of their local machines, so just installing it on the image and leaving it is not an option.
Telling users not to click the large Adobe Flash Player has an update splash screen is also not an option.
1) How do you install Flash Player in an Enterprise environment?
Please include answer with a guided installation document, as the SCUP document is not end-to-end.
2) How do you disable Flash Player update notifications?
Please advise,
Andy

Hi,
Thanks for this, but I am looking for a enterprise class solution: i.e. installing hundres of machines with automation and reporting. We are already aware of the MSI, but the automatic installation recently started failing since we migrated to Windows 7 and users are non-admins. We also plan on keeping UAC turned on, so running the MSI with the SYSTEM account in a script fails.
Again, we are looking for an end-to-end solution, possibly using SCCM and SCUP. In essence, documentation and web chatter points to being able to:
1) automatically have SCUP poll Adobe.com for updates
2) automatically have SCUP publish it to SCCM when available
3) push it out to WSUS as an update
4) clients automatically update it as part of Windows Update.
I have the bits and pieces, but have failed putting it all together.
I know I am not the only person administrating a large company and uses Flash.... help!

What is the best way to deploy an application ??

Hi,
Please advise me how to automate in a best way to Deploy 10 different applications(.ear/.war)
to 10 different Clusters(containing 40 Managed servers) in wls6.1......and that
too in a Production environment.
I know that we can use weblogic Console to deploy an application BUT if i have
2 unix boxes and each box contains 4-4 clusters(each containing 16-20 managed
servers) .....then i have to open up 2 Admin server consoles to deploy each of
the respective applications and that too deploying these application to 8 clusters.....OR
i can use deploy commad to do the same.
AND if i have like 100 clusters .....then i would have to "deploy" 100 times ......
is there any way that we can BEST AUTOMATE this process.
Thanks a lot.
-sangita

Thanks Tommy. but i would like to know a very important point here: this is using
the weblogic.utility that you just talkd about.
Suppose iam having an ADMIN server that has say 10 clusters and 50 managed servers
underneath to take care.
1 cluster each = 5 managed server
now iam deploying a simple .war file to say a single managed server, i have found
out that it takes a looot of time to get the application deployed.
what do you say about this situation ?
what is the best approach ??????

To deploy the application from the command prompt in WebLogic 6.1 you
use the
following command
$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -cp $WL_HOME/weblogic.jar weblogic.deploy -port $WEBLOGIC_PORT
-host $WL_HOST_IP $WEBLOGIC_CMD $WEBLOGIC_PWD -component $WL_Server_NAME:$WL_Server_NAME
$WL_APPLICATION_NAME YourApplication.war
$WEBLOGIC_CMD sould be DEPLOY for the first time deployment and UPDATE
for redeployment
For deploying in a cluster you better create a shell script which call
the above
command with different cluster ip address as a parameter.

For 6.1, it's probably not a huge win to use ant. It's up to you.
If
you're more comfortable using shell scripts, that's certainly a
reasonable route.

Rob, do you still consider or suggest using ANT for deploying say
20

do you see any advantages using [ANT + weblogic.deploy]..... over
simply

weblogic.deploy utility ???Yes. ANT essentially gives you a cross-platform environment that
allows
extensibility through java. It's very powerful.

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'.

In the page I simply referenced the facescontext directly... no need for a custom servlet.
public void createcookie() {
FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
HttpServletResponse resp = (HttpServletResponse)fc.getExternalContext().getResponse();
Cookie userCookie = new Cookie("cookiename", "cookievalue");
userCookie.setMaxAge(-1);
userCookie.setMaxAge(3600);
resp.addCookie(userCookie);
return null;
public String readcookie() {
FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ExternalContext ec = fc.getExternalContext();
Map cookiemap = ec.getRequestCookieMap();
if (cookiemap != null) {
Cookie cookie = (Cookie) cookiemap.get("cookievalue");
return cookievalue;
For reference I could not get getCookies() method of HttpServletRequest to work.. it would only return JSESSIONID.

What is the best way to deploy/update custom security realm classes to WLS 6.0?

From the WLS 6.0 console, I see that I can specify the Java class that
implements my custom security realm but I am wondering what is the best way
to deploy/update this code. I don't see a way to do this from the console.
Does this mean that I have to manually copy the class files over that
implement my custom security realm?

Thanks Danut,
A jar file seems to be a good way to package it up but it sounds like it
still needs to be manually copied to each Weblogic server install directory
post-installation and whenever it is updated. I thought it would be nice to
be able to deploy/update the custom security realm by uploading it through
the Console just as you can with web applications and EJBs.

You have to have your Custom Realm class in the class path. I usually havea
jar file with all the Custom Realm classes and that jar I copy it in thelib
folder. Then I modify "startWebLogic.cmd" and I add to the classpath
".\lib\CustomRealm.jar"
set
CLASSPATH=.;.\lib\weblogic_sp.jar;.\lib\weblogic.jar;.\lib\CustomRealm.jar;

Be aware that in order to have you custom realm besides creating thecustom
realm using the console you also have to create a custom caching andchoose
that one as your default caching realm.
Here is how the security settings are looking in my "config.xml"
<CustomRealm Name="CustomRealm"
RealmClassName="Custom.appserver.weblogic.security.CustomRealm"/>
<CachingRealm BasicRealm="CustomRealm" CacheCaseSensitive="true"
Name="CustomCachingRealm"/>

is there any network congestion OR any other problem that i can anticipate before i use "deploy" utility. I have heared of some problems(i couldn't remember them now ....because honestly, i couldn't understand them atall when a BEA consultant told me those...).
so, any problem that may arise ....that i need to think about before deploying ~10 applications to like ~70-80 clusters ....all at a time.

The best way to deploy and redploy of a multiple SOA application

Hi all,
I'm looking for the best way to deploy and redeploy a multiple SOA application.
1) The multiple SOA application contains many projects. Some projects depend on another projects.
2) WebLogic is in productive mode.
I wound like automaticly deploy and redeploy my multiple SOA application.
Does anyone have any experience of this?
Many thanks
PG

We use ant scripts to automatically deploy and redeploy multiple composites.
The ant scripts gets shipped along with the SOA installation. The ant script that is used for the deployment is:
${oracle.home}/bin/ant-sca-deploy.xml
You can also use the same for your deployment.

Which is the best way of deploying JSP (mod_ose or OSE) ?

I need to deploy some jsps that are using servlet api 2.2 and i would like to know which is the best way of deploying these jsps?
Thanks
RJC

Speaking of JServ Vs OSE, I have some related questions on it. I would appreciate if someone can answer:
1.For a stateful servlet (assuming that we are using Oracle JVM), Will it not call the init() method of the servlet each time for a client (because each client will have his own Oracle JVM)? If so, isn't that expensive because it needs to initialize the servlet again?
Again, for the same servlet, Will it not have a servlet context for each and every client? Isn't that expensive? ( A servlet context by definition maintains state information for all instances of a web application within any single JVM)
2. If we have an application that has some portion of it which is stateless and some portion of it which is stateful, how do we make a choice JDK JVM vs Oracle JVM?
Can we (for the same application) use both the JDK JVM as well as Oracle JVM? If so, how does the JDK JVM talk with Oracle JVM?
3. Since Oracle JVM is useful for stateful applications only, does it mean that we cannot use it for Stateless session beans? (In an application we might have stateless session beans, stateful session beans as well as entity beans) Should we be using JDK JVM or Oracle JVM?
4. For Servlets too, we might have stateless servlets and stateful servlets within the same application. If so, can we use JDK JVM for stateless servlets and Oracle JVM for stateful servlets? If so, how does the JDK JVM talk with Oracle JVM?

DirectAccess 2012 - Best way to deploy between two firewalls (NAT'd)

We are deploying DirectAccess 2012 and have a requirement that traffic from the internet (red) must be proxied through the DMZ (yellow) before touching anything on the internal network (green). I will initially only be configuring it to use IP-HTTPS (no
teredo). We have two firewalls, one on the perimeter (FW1), and one between the DMZ and internal networks (FW2).
I'm trying to determine the best way of deploying this in our environment. I've come up with two possibilities:
1. Deploy with two network cards, each connected to separate DMZs. In this scenario, NIC 1 would contain the internet facing IP in DMZ 1 (say 10.10.10.2 and NAT'd by FW1), and NIC2 would contain an internal facing IP on DMZ2 (say 10.10.11.2). NIC2 would
be routable to the internal subnets via the internal firewall.
Crude diagram: Internet -> FW1 -> 10.10.10.2---DA---10.10.11.2 -> FW2 -> Internal network
2. Deploy with one network card in the DMZ. This would be NAT'd by FW1, and then pass traffic through to to FW2. Since I'd be allowing all TCP/UDP traffic (as per MS) through FW2 to the primary network, this method seems unsafe to me.
Crude diagram: Internet -> FW1 -> 10.10.10.2---DA -> FW2 -> Internal network
What is the best and most secure way to deploy this in the DMZ? I do not want to put an internal network IP directly on the DirectAccess server, as it needs to go through FW2 before reaching internal. The DA server should be isolated in the DMZ.
Advice is appreciated.

Hi,
The first solution is better. The DA server is under the protection of FW1, and the DA server
already offers certain security itself, such as the requirement of a Computer Certificate, domain membership (which mean domain authentication) and so on.
Here is a related threads,
DirectAccess 2012 + Security concerns

Best way to deploy a new database

What is the best way to deploy a database for a user base that mostly doesn't understand how to use SQL based db products or has some understand?
I'm current working on a setup utility for my desktop application, which uses MySQL, right now I'm at a design issue where I'm not sure how to get the database deployed.
I have a creation script for deploying the database, but I'm not sure wither to create a default user, assign the rights to the user or make the user customizible. [which starts to branch off way too much] The desktop application does have an option of using an already deployed databased else where or creating one locally.
Does anyone have suggestions for deploying databases for desktop applications? I know that derby is a great solution for this, however, It is not nearly powerful enough to handle what I need a database for. [large amount of transactions and comparisons, really quickly] I also have been unable to find information on this as well.

are you talking about creating another copy of your existing DB on the same server ??
(Just wanna confirm as your last line seems to contradict with this?!?)
2 ways:
Go for RESTORE database with the Source option pointing to one of the existing databases.
Go for COPY DATABASE (useful when the copy of the db is to be put in another server maybe..)
Note that you would need backup of the existing DB to proceed..

Best way to obtain flash developers.

We are a fortune 500 media company in mid-town Manhattan.
What would be the best way to obtain flash resources for our
flash video project?
Should I get a macromedia consultant, or look for someone
from the outside?
I agree that macromedia consultant may not get us the most
bang for our buck, but I would like to make sure I cover myself. If
something happens, I could at least say I had macromedia involved.
I was thinking of maybe a part-time macromedia consultant,
and another developer outside of macromedia.
What our my options?

Not sure why a consultant would not get the most bang for
your buck!
Measuring in dollar per hour or dollar per productive hour is
the question
there.
The age old debate between consultant and employee will go
on, but a general
decision criteria is do you need a long term full time
employee or staff
that you will see gets professional development in this
rapidly changing
field of technology or do you have specific needs that will
expire in a
known time frame.
As for looking for a "Macromedia Consultant", you may find
looking for
"Flash Developer" or the new title "Adobe Developer" with
experience in
Flash Video and Flash Communications or Flash Media Server
development.
Also you can post to the adobe.general.job.opportunities
forum (might still
be macromedia.general.job. opportunites as my news reader
still reads it
that way) for candidates who might want some short term
assignments as well
as long term and permanent.

Best way to deploy IE11 in latest Version 11.0.7

Hello there,
I´m looking for the best way to deploy IE11 in the latest Version 11.0.7, because that one includes the Enterprise mode.
When I just push IE11 out through WSUS, the RTM Version without Updates gets installed. So the scenario would be:
Install IE11
Reboot
Install Updates
Reboot
Enterprise Mode ready
That is of course not a good way, because after the first reboot the Enterprise Mode is not available yet and the RTM Version does not include the latest security updates.
So I downloaded the IE11 installer and the latest IE11 Update (KB2929437) and tried the following things:
Extract IE11-Windows6.1-KB2929437-x86.msu to get the IE11-Windows6.1-KB2929437-x86.cab
IE11-Windows6.1-x86-en-us.exe /passive /norestart
C:\Windows\System32\dism.exe /online /add-package /packagepath:"C:\Temp\IE11-Windows6.1-KB2929437-x86.cab" /quiet /norestart
Reboot
After just one reboot I had the latest Version of IE 11 (11.0.7) installed.
I´m wondering now if this is a valid way to push it out or if there are a better ways of doing it.
Thanks for your help!

What's he best way to include Adobe PDFs on my blog?

What's he best way to include Adobe PDFs on my blog?
I create worksheets as a teacher and would like to share them from my blog. Currently I am linking to Scribd etc to share PDFs. If I upload the worksheets as an image is there a way to adjust the size/resolution of the PDF for easier viewing?
Thanks!

PDFs are just files. Can you upload files to your blog space? If yes, just upload the PDFs then, in a blog entry, provide the web link (URL) for each file (PDF).
Or, place the PDFs into your free acrobat.com "files" storage (5GB free). You have one as you have an Adobe ID (needed to make your post here eh).
https://cloud.acrobat.com/
You can have acrobat.com provide a "share" link to the PDF. Place that into a blog entry.
Or - same idea as above (use a "file share" service) -- Microsoft's OneDrive, Adobe's Creative Cloud, Google drive, DropBox, others ...
Be well...

Best way of deploying an App on PC w/o JRE?

Im looking on opinions on the best way to deploy an Java app to PC's without the JRE installed.
1 - Load the JRE and the app at the same time.
2 - Create the app as an Applet.
The JRE just has to match the version of the JDK that the app was created on.
Internet connectivity is not always going to be present.
Thanks for your opinions.

We deploy the JRE with our apps, in a subdirectory beneath the app's installation path. We then write a small C application that uses JNI to start THAT JRE and launches our application.
The JRE is not all that huge (the installer for one of our apps (www.attachplus.com/index.jsp) is 7.5 MB).
We use the Nullsoft open source installer system (with Modern UI plugin) to quickly create the installers - it takes a little bit of time to set up, but is very easy to use once you get used to the scripting constructs.
This approach has a couple of really nice advantages:
1. You are completely independent of which JRE is installed on the system
2. You don't need to mess with separate deployment of the JRE
3. Workstation security settings don't get in the way (i.e. users don't have to "install" the JRE, update the registry (if Win32 platform), etc...
The (obvious) disadvantages are:
1. You take up more drive space than you would otherwise need to
2. It takes longer to do the initial download (we have a Setup and Update configuration of our installers - the Update config doesn't have the JRE in it, and is only 200KB).
Another, very interesting approach (I'd like to do this, just haven't had time), would be to write a plugin for the Nullsoft installer that would check to see if a JRE is installed during setup, and would dynamically go to a web site and download and configure an appropriate JRE.
Cheers!

6/     Above example is a sample ouput, In above example I have picked up only l,m,n,o columns, but in real example there are many columns ( around 40 ) to be selected. ( using "case when" may not be practical )
Kindly suggest me what is a best way to write SQL ?
thanks & regards

Is this?
select b.j,t.c as k,decode(t.c,'P',l,n) as l,decode(t.c,'P',m,o) as m
from t,b
where t.a=b.j
order by j,k
J K L M
A00 P FIXED 100
A00 R FLOAT 60
A01 P FIXED 101
A01 R FIXED 30
A02 P FLOAT 45
A02 R FLOAT 72
A03 P FIXED 55
A03 R FLOAT 53
8 rows selected.
