What's the best way to define some values based on the URL?

Let's say for example I want all my URLs for servlets to take the form:
http://mysite.com/module/action?arguments
What's the most scalable way to handle mapping the values in place of "module" and "action"? For example, I might have a "forum" module and have an action to "deleteThread", called like so:
http://mysite.com/forum/deleteThread?id=321
I know I can just parse it myself, but is there a better way to handle this via some settings in web.xml or similar? All my requests go through a Front Controller which needs to know which module and action have been requested so that it can run the appropriate action controller.
Cheers,
Chris

At the risk of repeat-posting, I'll clarify. Say I create a file named routing.xml which defines some routes like this:
<routing-config>
<route>
    <name>Standard rule</name>
    <description>
      This route maps the first two parts in the path with the module and action
    </description>
    <url-pattern>/:module/:action.do</url-pattern>
</route>
<route>
    <name>Default Index</name>
    <description>
      Allows the module to be specified without the action for "Index" actions.
    </description>
    <url-pattern>/:module.do</url-pattern>
    <request-parameters>
      <parameter key="action" value="Index" />
    </request-parameters>
</route>
<route>
    <name>Homepage</name>
    <description>
      Loads the Home page
    </description>
    <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
    <request-parameters>
      <parameter key="module" value="Home" />
      <parameter key="action" value="Index" />
    </request-parameters>
</route>
</routing-config>The bits like ":module" which be represented by the actual name of the module in the URL. Does anyone know if something like this already exists? :)
I wrote this exact same thing in PHP5 just a few weeks ago but I really don't have the motivation to write it all over again in Java :P On a side-note, things like this usually come with helpers for turning unclean URIs into clean URIs.

Best way to select distinct values based on another column?

I have a table with three columns: id (NUMBER), data_dt (DATE), and data_value (NUMBER).
There is a primary key on id and data_dt.
I want to select the record with the latest data_dt for each unique id.
What is the best way to do this?
I have three different methods, but there may be something I am missing.
First:
SELECT *
FROM
SELECT id, data_dt, data_value,
         FIRST_VALUE(data_dt)
         OVER (PARTITION BY id ORDER BY data_dt DESC) AS last_data_dt
FROM the_table
WHERE data_dt = last_data_dt;(I use ORDER BY...DESC instead of just ORDER BY so I don't need the ROWS BETWEEN clause)
Second:
SELECT t1.*
FROM the_table t1
JOIN
SELECT id, MAX(data_dt) AS last_data_dt
FROM the_table
GROUP BY id
) t2 ON (t2.id = t1.id AND t2.data_dt = t1.data_dt);Third:
SELECT t1.*
FROM the_table t1
WHERE t1.data_dt =
SELECT MAX(t2.data_dt)
FROM the_table t2
WHERE t2.id = t1.id
);-- Don

Hi,
There are more possible scenario's, for example:
select t1.*
from   the_table t1
where not exists ( select null
                   from   the_table t2
                   and    t2.data_dt > t1.data_dt
What is the best way to do this?Only you can tell:
Test all scenario's, check the execution plans, set timing on and pick the best/fastest one ;-)
If it's not clear, please post the execution plans here.

What is the best way to digitise some work manuals onto my iPad?

What is the best way to digitise some work manuals onto my iPad? Thanks in advance.

I honestly don't know if there's an app out there that can handle documents that large.
Adobe has a free PDF app but i'm not sure if it allows authoring. And taking 200 separate scans and getting them put together into one book may require more resources than the iPad has.
The ipads only have so much computing power and RAM, so if I were doing it I'd see if the place that scans them will sort them by chapters/topics of your manual. So say each manual is 10 20 page sections (or however it breaks out)
There are a lot of free pdf files on various sites (even the apple site has manuals for their stuff). Download some of those and try to open them on your iPad. See where the upper limit is of what your iPad will handle. Then use that as a guide to how you have the copy place break them up.

What is the best way to define this missing variable?????

I think I am almost there with this question, thanks for working with me on this: trying to make buttons go target cue points in video
I get this error code:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable seek_btn is not defined.
import fl.video.*;
// Video component instance name
var flvControl:FLVPlayback = display;
var flvSource:String = "lou.flv";
// Set video
flvControl.source = flvSource;
// Add seek functionality to the button
function seekHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
flvControl.seekToNavCuePoint("lou1")
seek_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, seekHandler);
seek_btn1.cuePointName = new String();
seek_btn1.cuePointName = "lou1";
seek_btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onButtonPress);
seek_btn2.cuePointName = new String();
seek_btn2.cuePointName = "lou2";
seek_btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onButtonPress);
// onButtonPress function
function onButtonPress(evt:MouseEvent):void {
flvControl.seekToNavCuePoint(evt.target.cuePointName);

Definitely.... you are trying to assign a listener to something that does not exist
seek_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, seekHandler);
If you do not have a seek_btn, the best way to define the missing variable is to create the seek_btn object. If you don't plan to, then rather than define it, get rid of any code that uses it.

Best Way to Define Employee Numbering For Different Countries

HI all
I am working on for a project which will be for Multiple countries.But Each country has different Instances.Now the questions is What could be the Best way to Define Employee numbering for all the Regions ? As for as My knowledge goes It would be Number prefixed by Country.Then How we can have Alpha numeric in employee Coding ? We need to have Fast Formula to Ahieve this task.If any body has come across this scenario please share your thoughts .Any thoughts are greatly Appreciated.
Cheers
Kumar cs

If you have each country on a different instance and you want employees to retain their employee number on transfer between countries, I believe you have two options:
i) Use manual numbering. One recent change to the system is that you can update the numbering profile from Auto to Manual and back to Auto again. So you could potentially leverage this manual workaround when a cross BG transfer happens.
ii) Bespoke module to export all emp numbers into a 'central repository', e.g., flat file, that can be accessed by all instances, imported regularly and then referenced by your Fast Formula. You would also need processing to determine when a person is a transfer from another BG or a new hire; probably have to be some control field on flex. Basically, this is a requirement made difficult by the decision to host each legislation on a different instance; I would never recommend clients to go down this route but I guess it's too late in your case.
If cross BG transfers are not common, e.g., less than 5 a week, I would recommend option 1.

Best way to define mapping

Hi
I am evaluating Kodo in the prospect to migrate an existing application
which uses a different JDO implementation and I am currently wondering
what is the best way to define the mapping.
So far, we have only used __.jdo__ metadata file with default values and
some jdo extension. Then we delegate to the JDO implementation the task to
define the schema and create it in the relationnal database.
I am trying to reproduce the same process with KODO. But :
- I am encountering some problem with the kodo extension.(but they are
certainly some mistake from my part, I will introduce some at the end of
this email)
- I understand that kodo can use a mapping file.
Here are my very first questions
- Which method should I use. Only JDO extension, or mapping file.
- if I use the mapping file, is it possible to only specify info for
fields which are different than default behavior of kodo
- If I use the jdo extension only how can I :
specify the name of a table for a particular class?
specify the name of a join table?
Specify the name of a column for a particular java field?
Is there a way to configure the mapping tool to use a custom naming
convention for the whole project (for a particular package)?
I already made a small evaluation of kodo 7 month ago with version 3.1.0,
but with this version, there was a bug discussed in this forum which
forced me to use the mapping file. But I had to define the complete
mapping, which was a huge task especially when you have to repeat field
mapping for sub classes. My first tests with kodo 3.2.2 works with jdo
extension, but I still have some issues as you can see from my questions.
Thank you for your answer.

Nicolas,
You need to define which mapping file using the kodo.jdbc.MappingFactory
extension. Note that with either format that the mapping information
must be complete (or you can have Kodo create them for you):
http://solarmetric.com/Software/Documentation/3.2.2/docs/ref_guide_conf_kodo.html#kodo.jdbc.MappingFactory
The metadata mapping factory is more verbose though all of your
information is in a single file. .mapping files are more consise but
need to be deployed in addition to your .jdo metadata.

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...

Is there a way to hide some reports based on the selected values in prompt.

Hi Experts,
Is there a way to hide some reports based on the selected values in prompt.
For ex. if a year is selected in the prompt then the report should display year wise report.
If a year and half year both are selected in the drop down from prompt section then 2 reports should come.. One for year wise and another for half year wise.Kindly look into this.
Regards
Ashish

Hi,
Use presentation values in prompts for year,half,qtr and month.Example- For year-y is presentation variable in the same way for halfyear-h,qtr-q and month-m.
create four intermediate reports.Example-Report r1 with only year column,r2 with only halfyear column,r3 with qtr column and r4 with month column.
Make column in each report(r1,r2,r3,r4) is equal to their presentation variables(y,h,q,m).
Use four sections.
Section1-Place report that should come when only year.
section2-Place report that should come for year and halfyear.
Section3-Place report that should come for year,halfyear and qtr.
Section4-Place report that should come for year,halfyear,qtr and month.
Apply guided navigation for each section selecting guided navigation-
For section1-
properties->Guided navigation->check this Reference Source Request(Yes)->select report r1(year)->check this Show Section(if request returns row)
In the same way do for remaining section2(select r2),section3(select r3) and section4(select r4)
Thanks,
Srikanth

Best way to extract XML value wiith an xpath

Hello,
I wonder what is the best way to extract text value from XmlType with an xpath.
I need to insert a row inside a table where the row's data come from xpath extractions of an XmlType. I do a lot of (approximative 20) :
EXTRACTVALUE(var.myxmltype , '/an/xpath/to/extract/elem1').
EXTRACTVALUE(var.myxmltype , '/an/xpath/to/extract/elemI').
EXTRACTVALUE(var.myxmltype , '/an/xpath/to/extract/elem20').
inside the insert statement
Is this way is the best or is there a more optimal way ?
For example extracting the node '/an/xpath/to/extract/' and sarting from this node extracting "elem1", ... , "elemI", "elemN" children.
Thanks for your help,
Regards,
Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,
The answer depends on your actual storage method (binary, OR, CLOB?), and db version.
You can try XMLTable, it might be better in this case :
SELECT x.elem1, x.elem2, ... , x.elem20
FROM your_table t
   , XMLTable(
      '/an/xpath/to/extract'
      passing t.myxmltype
      columns elem1 varchar2(30) path 'elem1'
            , elem2 varchar2(30) path 'elem2'
            , elem20 varchar2(30) path 'elem20'
     ) x
;

Best way to change TreeMap value?

Hello,
I am wondering what is the best way to change a value in a TreeMap? I have retrieved a value by .get on the key i.e.
String aString = (TreeMap) aTreeMap.get(aKey);but would now like to change aString and ?.put? it back into the map?
How would I do this?
Thank you,
Poot.

but would now like to change aString and ?.put? it
back into the map?Do I just have to keep a note on the (key,value) - especially key - change the value and then .put(key,value) back in? Though I'll need to remove the initial pairing if I do this since TreeMap won't allow duplicate keys!
There must be an easier way as this.
Thank you for your reply,
Regards,
Poot.
