What is the layering in ATG?

Hi Guys,
Could you please define the layering in ATG.
Thank you

Layering in ATG refers to overriding component properties by placing the component at the same config path.
The properties in the component picked up at the last in the config path, overrides the properties defined in the previous property files.
ATG supports left to right relationship for this.
like DAS DPS DSS DCS.
If a same property file is defined at the same config path in each of the above modules, then properties in DCS will super cede the properties in DAS DPS DSS.
You can also go through some example under the following link

What are the controllers in atg?

what are the controllers in atg? and diff b/w repository and jdbc?

A repository is a data access layer that defines a generic representation of a data store. In simple term "An interface b/w database and applicatoin".
To create Repository, we are creating definition file that is nothing but a set of item-descriptors. An item-descriptor is a set of tables that have relationship(one to one, one to many, many to many) among each others. You already know tables.
"Repository Item" is real time instance of item-descriptor. You can think about concept of repository same as hibernate.

What are the disadvantages of ATG Scenarios

HI Everyone,
I wanted to use ATG scenarios . Please let me know the Drawbacks of ATG scenarios.
Our requirement is to use for AB Test(split test) for the two different shopping cart pages and we want to update the scenarios in production now and then(not very frequently) .
Thanks

Scenarios are based on state machines concept and if you have a complex scenario, the server needs to keep track of the users and the state they are in with respect to the current scenario. Now if you have too many of such scenarios then obviously you are increasing the states the user will be in which has to be maintained on the server which may become problematic. But then you can also have some badly written code and be in the same situation as well.
Perhaps it is a common misconception that executing scenarios will increase load on the server and so it will become slow in responding to requests. Scenario performance actually depends on lot of things like - how many concurrent scenarios you have? If the production environment is correctly sized for the anticipated load? And unless you substantiate the "performance" which zeroes down on a scenario there is no point to say scenarios are bad. I have experience with a production site which was not using scenarios citing performance reasons while there were some badly written code which causes bottlenecks elsewhere.
Unless your site already over burdened with scenarios or you do something terribly wrong in the implementation of the scenario like introduce wait states with no possible exit points, I believe you should be using scenarios as it is easier and faster to implement the functionality with scenarios than writing it by yourself. And if your performance and stress tests determine that scenarios are the contention point you will have the time to rewrite that portion because you didn't waste the time by reinventing the wheel before.
Also do go through with the guidelines provided in the documentation for designing effective scenarios:

I received a psd file created in CS6 for MAC, I am unable to find the layers when I open it in photoshop in Windows. What can i do to edit the files?

I received a psd file created in CS6 for MAC, I am unable to find the layers when I open it in photoshop in Windows. What can i do to edit the files? What can be done so that I can either open and see the layers or how can the sender save it in a way that it doesn't "merge" the layers in some way to just one?

Could try saving as tiff provided layers and transparency are chosen at the time of saving. But it's hard to give a definitive answer as it depends on the final usage. For example PSD's tend to work better in applications like In Design in comparison with tiff.

what is the use of these filters what will happend if i remove these filters in web.xml file
please give me clear picture on these 3 filters and how these filters are helpful in our application.

As the name filter suggest, All the request will go though these filters if certian condition is satisfied
In ATG web.xml contains following filter:
<filter>
    <filter-name>PageFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>atg.filter.dspjsp.PageFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>PageFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
When there is .jsp in url pattern all the request will go through Page Filter.
Filter is java concept.For More details about Filter, Refer http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19502-01/819-3669/6n5sg7b0b/index.html
In order to process Jsp request, ATG use Page filter. It converts normal HttpRequest/HttpResponse to DynamoHttpRequest/DynamoHttpResponse. Please refer http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24152_01/Platform.10-1/ATGPlatformProgGuide/html/s0801requesthandlingwithservletpipeli01.html

What's the best way to integrate third party shopping carts with ATG's (10.6)?

Hi,
We are using ATG (10.6) for our e-commerce platform and we have many other websites which try to engage the end user to buy our products.
Those other websites are developed using different technologies but we would like to allow the visitor to click a buy button and add things to a local shopping cart. That "generic" Shopping cart will be hosted locally in the website and only when he/she tries to "check out" we will forward them to e-commerce (ATG) main page, but the ATG's shopping cart has to have all the item he/she selected previously on the website.
How can that be done?
1) In the best possible way?
2) In the simplest possible way?
Regards

Hi,
We have seen that. Thanks.
Now, how could we add multiple tiems to ATG's shopping cart before redirecting the user to ATG's home?
The scenario we see is:
User navigates on a Marketing website, spots items he/she is interested in and add them to the LOCAL shopping cart (without leaving the current website), after adding many items he/she decides to buy these items buy clicking FINISH, at this moment we add the N items to ATG shopping cart (how??) and redirect the user to ATG's home.
Is that possible?
Thanks

What is the difference between Create shapes or masks from text characters?

What is the main difference between Create shapes or masks from text characters and why use one over the other, or when is one preferred over the other?
I am still fairly new to AE and am trying to better understand this, or can you point me to where i might look for the answer?
CS5 if that make a difference.

One creates masks, the other creates shape layers. There are properties that you can animate with shape layers that are not available to masks. There are also a few things you can do with masks that you can't with shape layers.
I'd suggest you take a look at the help files or do a Google Search on After Effects Shape Tutorials.

What is the difference between java direct or java bean in JSP?

What is the difference if I use java code directly in JSP or use java bean in JSP?
Which class to use for receiving the passed parameter from html or java script? Any difference for java code and java bean in the way receiving the passed data?
How can I pass string from jsp to html or java script?

it's generally accepted as better design to separate presentation from logic. meaning, the java code in the jsp should be used to support displaying data, as oppsoed to implementing the application - like database access, etc.
when the logic is separated from the presentation, it allows you to reuse logic components within several jsp pages.
if you decide to change the presentation layer in the future (to support wap, for example) you don't need to rewrite your entire application, since the "guts" of the application is outside of the jsps.
it is also a good idea to separate your business logic from your data layer. adding a "buffer zone" between these layers helps in the same manner as in separating presentation from logic. if you're using flat files for storage now, upgrading to a database wouldn't require rewriting all your business logic, just the methods which write out the data to a file, for example.
once you feel comfortable with separating the various layers, check out the struts framework at http://jakarta.apache.org/
to answer your second question, to get parameters passed in from HTML forms, use ServletRequet's getParameter() method.
in tomcat:
<% String lastName = request.getParameter( "lastname" ); %>
to answer your third question: when displaying the HTML from withing a jsp, print out the string to a javascript variable or a hidden form element:
<% String firstName = "mike"; %>
<input type="hidden" name="firstname" value="<%= firstName %>">
<script language="javascript1.2">
var firstName = "<%= firstName %>";
</script>
this jsp results in the following html:
<input type="hidden" name="firstname" value="mike">
<script language="javascript1.2">
var firstName = "mike";
</script>

What is the difference in PS E12 between 'File Open' and 'File Open in Camera Raw' ?

Both routes launch a screen saying Camera Raw 8.3 - Canon EOS 5D Mark III?
Likewise on this screen there is 'Cancel' and 'Done' Buttons', what is the difference both close that screen.
I am assuming the 'Done' Buttons saves any manipulation of exposure or colours you may have made? and the 'Cancel' just forgets them?
Is there a manual for this product; that one can reference, screen by screen? explaining what each option actually does.

Chucky-Tiger wrote:

If you are opening a raw file (.CR2), both routes are identical, because you have to convert raw files in ACR anyway.
If you are opening a jpeg file, you can open the file directly in the Elements Editor (Open),
or
you can open it the the ACR module. The dialog is the same (or nearly) as for raw files, with the same sliders and features, including some you don't find in the editor : clarity, advanced denoising...
There are advantages in opening jpegs in ACR, especially because ACR works internally in 16 bits and in a wider color gamut. Very important for me is the fact that the ACR modules saves its edits as 'recipees' in the metadata section of the jpeg files, without changing any pixel value of the original.
Likewise on this screen there is 'Cancel' and 'Done' Buttons', what is the difference both close that screen.
I am assuming the 'Done' Buttons saves any manipulation of exposure or colours you may have made? and the 'Cancel' just forgets them?
Cancel does cancel every edit you have started. You are back to the original file.
'Done' saves your edits, as you rightly assume.
'Open' saves the edits and send them to the editor for further editing if you want, for local retouch or using layers for instance.
'Alt Open' does not saves the edits, but sends the edited result to the editor.
'Save' is only used if you wish to convert the raw files to the DNG format.

What is the best way to use a SSD for Photoshop/photo editing?

Computer hardware newbie here: I do a significant amount of photo editing work and for a very long time I've experienced Photoshop, Bridge and Photomatix crashing constantly (usually due to insufficient RAM) or just generally taking forever (Bridge took forever to load the thumbnail/preview extractions in a folder full of images, Photoshop took forever to save images and Photomatix took ages to load/merge a set of bracketed photos). Here are the typical error messages I'd get: http://pastebin.com/J9byczse
As a professional photographer, constantly running into that sort of thing is quite aggravating, so to hopefully avoid ever having to deal with that again I invested in a new custom built computer. It's Windows 7 Professional 64 bit with 32GB of RAM and a 240GB SSD; I'm using the 240GB SSD as my boot drive/OS, all of my programs are installed there, and the page file. My photos and data are stored on several HDDs. I have yet to install any of my photo editing software (Photoshop CS6 Extended, Lightroom, Photomatix etc) to the new computer yet since I'd like some advice first.
My basic question is this: what is the best way to take advantage of the SSD (and the computer in general) when it comes to my photo editing software?
Specifically...
1. If I have a folder of photos I'm working on, should I move it to the SSD and then work on them from there in order to take advantage of the speed of the SSD? Would this make any difference in terms of speed if the photos are located on the SSD vs. an internal/external HDD?
2. Most of what I've read online seems to recommend two separate SSDs, one for installing/booting the apps and one for cache/scratch. Does it matter if I use my 240GB SSD for both?
3. This is a fairly new computer and the SSD is already almost half full (102GB used, 120GB free) *WITHOUT* any of my photo editing software installed yet. I'm concerned about how fast that remaining 120 GB may fill up. As it fills up will I lose the speed advantage of the SSD vs. a regular HDD?
4. Sort of similar to #3, but should I bother moving any of my other non-photo editing programs/caches off of the SSD to a HDD and would there be any major difference in the speed/lifespan of the SSD if I did so? It's mostly Firefox and Chrome and their caches that I'm concerned may be a problem if they remain on the SSD.
Thanks for any help!

If you have an SSD you can run the cache and programs on the same drive. However, many recommend a scratch disk size of 100-200 gigs so that will not work here unless you opt for a larger SSD. Otherwise an internal spinner is recommended that does not contain the program files, or idealy any other files that may want to get acessed at same time (only one read/write head per drive).
With 32 gig of RAM you may not need the constant use of the scratch drive unless working on large images with lots of layers. So see no advantage to moving folder to SSD for temp work environment.
From what I read the new crop of SSD do not have the wear problems of the older versions.

Flash CS4 - Can I change the colors of the background or text that shows up in the Layers section?

I am stuggling here! I am colorblind. I need to change either the color of the background or the color of the text on the layers section on the Timeline. I simply cannot read/see what is currently showing. It is a very light blue background with white text and white dots for seeing, locking, or setting the outline color. I need to either change the text color and dots to black so I can see them, or try to change the background color to a dark blue so I can read the white text. Changing the text color would really be my preference. How do I do this? Please help. Adobe hasn't been very concerned about colorblindness when developing these products. I can barely make out all the light grey/grey/dark grey/grey stuff. Now this!

For Windows you can adjust your Theme (or download a new one and use that). This will alter the color of each layer, for example if you use Classic then it will use a very dark blue for layers that will provide higher contrast. I've downloaded other custom themes in the past that use a very dark grey for example.
(By the way, for Mac users go to Appearance in System Prefs and choose a different Highlight color - you can choose a default or custom one. That color is used for the layer color).
