Which is better as UI technology among Flex and Oracle ADF for oracle SOA suit

We have one application which is using oracle’s Service oriented Architecture (SoA) suite. Currently, there is a debate on the technology for UI in the new architecture that will be rich, easy to maintain, scalable and integrates well with SOA suite. We have two options one is Flex and other is Oracle ADF. UI part contains number of graphs, tabular and charts data. So it would be great if any one suggest which technolgy will be better for UI point of view. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I looked at the demo
http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/jdeveloper/11gdemos/ADF112/ADF112.html
It's interesting.
However, I would point out two things:
1- Before Oracle, Sun failed with UI technologies: there was AWT then Swing then Java FX. None of them was a star. The only place where Sun really won the UI war is the Bluray Disc format.
2- About half of the RIA in the financial/banking industry are developed with Flex, the other half is developed with Silverlight / WPF. HTML 5 is being taken up by some, but you still end up with the usual problem of having to pick up an AJAX framework, and get tied to a vendor anyway in the end. Never heard about any project developed with Oracle ADF yet.

Generally it is if you're comparing identical compressors & resolutions but there's something else happening here. If you're worried about quality degrading; check the original file details on the camera (or card) either with Get Info or by opening in QuickTime and showing info. You should find the iPhoto version (reveal in a Finder) is a straight copy. You can't really increase image quality of a movie (barring a few tricks) by increasing file size but Apple editing products create a more "scrub-able" intermediate file which is quite large.
Good luck and happy editing.

Hi, I'm using a Mac Pro here. I am trying to connect it with my NAS hard drive. But i could not connect to it because i have an ethernet which connects to the intranet in my company and Air Port for the internet.

Hi, I'm using a Mac Pro here. I am trying to connect it with my NAS hard drive. But i could not connect to it because i have an ethernet which connects to the intranet in my company and Air Port for the internet and it could not detect the the ip address after i input the correct address on "Connect to Server" window. Please help! Urgent! Thanks

I did not say it is not possible.
I said if your company networks are monopolizing both ports, you should talk to them about what options are available.
Maybe you can get the company Intranet over wireless if you change some configuration items such as Subnet Mask.
Maybe you can get on the Internet over Ethernet.
You really need to ask them, and do not let them blow you off because you have a Mac. If they balk, ask them how it would be done on a PC (becasue it will be the same on a Mac).

Which is better? Code comparsion of performance and style

Recently I run into a discussion over a small piece of code. Could help me which is better, either in performance or coding style? The code is not complete, the question is the use of local cancellationNumber variable.
public String cancelAction(/**/) {
/* some code */
        String cancellationNumber = result.getCancellationNumber();
        if (empty(cancellationNumber)) {
            throw new Exception("Did not receive a cancellation number!");
        return cancellationNumber;
    }or
public String cancelAction(/**/) {
/* some code */
        if (empty(result.getCancellationNumber()) {
            throw new Exception("Did not receive a cancellation number!");
        return result.getCancellationNumber();
    }

Yes, I know profiling can be misleading, also compiler optimization adds to the picture. However seeing the numbers differentially, I think there is still some information, which is faster, even if taking it completely out scope. I didn't paste the code, because it's so trivial. I run the two methods in a loop with same arguments.
With increased loop count, the difference is 6-7%, cancelActionWithLocal being faster. But this can be pointless, I know.
package org.helloprofile;
import static org.helloprofile.Util.empty;
import java.util.Locale;
public class CUT {
    public String cancelActionWithoutLocal(Locale locale, String email, long itineraryId, String confirmationId) throws Exception {
        Result result = new Result();
        if (empty(result.getCancellationNumber())) {
            throw new Exception("Did not receive a cancellation number!");
        return result.getCancellationNumber();
    public String cancelActionWithLocal(Locale locale, String email, long actionId, String confirmationId) throws Exception {
        Result result = new Result();
        String cancellationNumber = result.getCancellationNumber();
        if (empty(cancellationNumber)) {
            throw new Exception("Did not receive a cancellation number!");
        return cancellationNumber;
}Thanks for the comments!

Getting Started with Flex and Java RPC for Free?

Good Morning,
Please forgive me if this is the wrong place to post- I'm
just having trouble wrapping my head around what is and what isn't
available for free in the Adobe Flex world.
I've been working on an application for the last few months
using Open Laszlo (
http://www.openlaszlo.org/),
but I've been running into frustrations with their lack of
up-to-date documentation, and I've found it difficult to bring new
people into the project, since the set of users who know it is so
small.
While I do like that I can compile to DHTML, that's not
enough to hold me there.
I've been looking into Adobe Flex, and it seems like a good
alternative- I'm comfortable paying $500 for the IDE-
I use Eclipse currently, so having a plugin for it sounds
ideal. That said, when I look into ways to talk to a Java backend,
everything points to Flex Data services, which is now part of some
larger package costing tens of thousands of dollars.
I don't need advanced messages, or data synchronization, as
nice as it would be.. All I really need is the ability to call a
Java method, and get an object back, which I can then work with in
Flex.
I see the forum message that asks
"How
do I 'do' Flash for free?, but this only talks about RPC very
broadly. Given that the message is from over a year ago, I thought
it would be better form to start a new topic, than replying to it.
Can someone explain to me what components I'd need, both on
the client side and the server side?
Is there a set of manuals that explain how to do Flex RPC
from Java?
Can Flex compile to any versions of flash earlier than 9?
(Flash 6/7 is still in wide deployment)
Do I want to start using Flex 2, or Flex 3? Are the
components compatible? Will the F3 docs be ready?
Finally, where can I purchase the Charting components? The
ability to create charts such as
this
overcome a decent price barrier.
Thank you for any insight you can offer, and direction you
can provide.

Another approach, generate the proxy from the java

Let me know what you think about those suggestions.

You know quite a bit more about this, can you take a step

What is the state if flex, and air development for air

Hi,
1- I wanted to know what is the state of affairs in flex and air as cross platform mobile development solutions?
2- Are they still worth learning and spending time developing mobile application using these technologies?
Becuase all the documnetation forum posts and most of the help material I come across is almost a year old.
Any guidance in this regard would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

The right place to look for updates on Flex is http://flex.apache.org
The good thing is that activities are still going on. The bad things are that:
- Unless the dependency to Adobe air is cut, Flex as an open source project is bound to fail imho. See FlexJS for updates on that point
- Current activties seem to be focused around making things more polished rather than working on hard stuff (typically developing an independent and open source runtime execution engine => flexJS)
So...
For a small company, home development, not so business critical applications, I recommend warmly Flex, since it is one of the best (if not the best) cross-platform mobile development environment (Very good performances if used appropriately, very good programming environment, lots of components, structured language, lots of documentation and tutorials, easy to design, etc.)
for business critical applications... The risk is high !

Flex and BlazeDS Compile for Deployement

Hi,
I've been following the Flex + BlazeDS tutorial on the Message Service from adobe to start learning working with blazeds. Everything worked out great on the local server of course but I got stuck when it came to moving the files to a remote server. I've looked around quite a lot and found out it's because the compiler feeds the services-config.xml upon compile and at lease in my case won't take and external file. The solution everyone has been posting on the net is writing the channels in actionscript within flex and feedin it the valid endpoint that would be found in the xml configuration file. That's all nice and dandy but everyone has been talking and showing examples of this being done for RemoteObject and I haven't managed to find any examples for Messaging.
Can anyone help me out with an example on how to deploy my application to a server? (either by coding the channels in AS or otherwise) The application itself is pretty basic...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
      xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
      xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" minWidth="200" minHeight="480" creationComplete="consumer.subscribe()" width="250" currentState="EnterName">
<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
   import mx.messaging.events.MessageEvent;
   import spark.events.TextOperationEvent;
]]>
</fx:Script>
<s:states>
<s:State name="Chat"/>
<s:State name="EnterName"/>
</s:states>
<fx:Declarations>
<s:Producer id="producer" destination="chat"/>
<s:Consumer id="consumer" destination="chat" message="messageHandler(event.message)"/>
</fx:Declarations>
<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
   import mx.messaging.messages.AsyncMessage;
   import mx.messaging.messages.IMessage;
   private function send():void{
    var message:IMessage = new AsyncMessage();
    message.body.chatMessage = user.text + ":" + " " + msg.text;
    producer.send(message);
    msg.text = "";
   private function messageHandler(message:IMessage):void{
    log.text += message.body.chatMessage + "\n";
]]>
</fx:Script>
<s:Panel title="Chat" width="100%" height="100%">
<s:TextArea id="log" height="377" x="10" y="10" width="228" includeIn="Chat"/>
<mx:ControlBar width="246" height="52" x="1" y="395" includeIn="Chat">
   <s:TextInput id="msg" width="100%" enter="send()"/>
   <s:Button label="Send B" click="send()"/>
   </mx:ControlBar>
<s:TextInput includeIn="EnterName" x="60" y="177" id="user" />
<s:Button includeIn="EnterName" x="87" y="207" label="Start Chat" id="chat" click="chat_clickHandler(event)"/>
<s:Label includeIn="EnterName" x="57" y="157" text="Please Enter Your Name"/>
</s:Panel>
</s:Applicatio>
And besides that in the messaging-config.xml file on the server a destination with the id="chat" is created and that's it.
Any help or pointing in the right direction will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Nick

Update:
Ok...I finally figured out that by replacing the tokens in the services-config.xml file with the physical address of the server everything works.
Anyway...this means the application needs to be compiled everytime it is moved to a new server or even a different folder on the same server for that matter. Is there any way to pass the {server.name}, {server.port} and {context.root} tokens to the application at runtime for messaging?
Thanks,

Flex and mobile development for webOS?

Do the 'Hero' and 'Burrito' products provide the ability to implement Flex code for the webOS platform? Or is the webOS platform not supported yet? If Flex isn't ready for the webOS platform now, then I suppose I will need to use JavaScript and HTML 5 on webOS for now.
The webOS platform is the go-forward strategy for Hewlett-Packard for both smart phones and tablets.

Which MacBook Pros are safe to buy used and not recalled for video graphics/display failure (due to overheating)?

I've had some bad luck with MacBook Pros lately. I bought a 2010 model but it was effectively a Total Loss because of a vehicle accident. From searching with Google, people have reported logic board failures. Who knows if mine would've failed, too.
Then I bought an older 2009 MacBook Pro and that eventually failed due to the graphics chip failure. There was a recall on it but the problem occured JUST after the recall period expired. I don't have a microwave solder lying around or a proper setup to fix the problem myself.
Now, I im in the market for a used MacBook Pro, as a gift (I can't afford a new one right now) (with the luck I have, I'm basically done with them but the person wants one).
I've seen some 2011 models priced quite attractively, which caused me to do a quick check and find that the (early) 2011 models also have video graphic failures. I don't get it. I understand paying for the name, but the name also has to have reliability and you don't hear about video graphics failures from some of the more well known PC manufacturers..just saying.
I'd strongly prefer to not purchase any retina models, if at all possible. I want a mechanical SATA HDD and an optical drive. I oppose proprietary components -- as I understand it, the retina models make it nearly impossible to upgrade.
Which used MacBook Pros are safe for purchase? In other words, which ones do not have recalls or are susceptible to video graphics/display failures? I don't want to put the money down for one, only to hear it kicked the bucket and it needs service and is out of warranty.
Thank you for your time.

Flex and multilanguage support for webUI

I am looking into Flex as the next-gen development system for
our web apps. I do not know very much about Flex at this time, but
I need to find out how Flex handles multilanguage capability.
Currently, we make heavy use of JS and DHTML for our UI
design, and to support different languages we separate out all our
strings into individual files (utf8) that are translated. The
client-side JS will make a call to the server to determine the
user's language preference and load the appropriate string file
when rendering the UI.
I need to know if something like this is possible in the Flex
environment, or how Flex handles multilanguage string separation.
Thanks

Hi Lalo,
well, I am still not sure what your problem is - but....
The selection of the Code Group for example happens in:
BAPI_CODEGROUP_CODE_GETLIST
Well, this method is called in ALM_ME_CODEGRP_GETDETAIL and there you find the line
langu = sy-langu
so this defines the language.
Perhaps this helps you to solve your issue and understand the process a little? So you are right - it is the GETDETAIL handler as such - but the language in there is defined by sy-language as you see. Change the language and all should be fine.
Regards,
Oliver
Edited by: Oliver Kaluscha on Jan 30, 2008 2:19 PM
oh - just to mention - MAM017 and so on are running under the RFC user in the backend - so the language of the current user on the PDA will not really help here I think.
Regards,
Oliver

Understanding JavaFx, Flex, and Openlaszlo offerings for RIAs

I'm interested in improving certain aspects of my UI and I recently stumbled upon javafx/flex/openlaszlo (OL). I'd like to understand:
1. What is needed to develop & deploy javafx. Does it have "gotchas" like Flex, where the sdk is open source, but development and deployment tools are proprietary?
2. How easy is javafx to pickup?
3. Specifically, I'd like to use javafx ( or flex/OL) to either augment or replace an editable table I created using js, ajax, html, and css. Is this the type of thing javafx can/should be used for? Are there any drawbacks or pitfalls to using javafx for this rather than straight js, ajax, html, css?
4. How does javafx compare to flex/OL (as this is a java forum, I do understand that people may not have used flex/OL; but any subjective/objective feedback is helpful)?
Thanks.

Does it have "gotchas" like Flex, where the sdk is open source, but development and deployment tools are proprietary?Currently, yes... Only the compiler is open source, the runtime is currently closed. Although it isn't unreasonable to think it might be (at least partially) opened in the future, once it is stabilized.
Development: can be done with a simple editor and the compiler, and deployment with the command line utility. That's what I use. You can also use NetBeans (open source, decent support of JavaFX) or Eclipse (open source also, support of JFX is a bit lacking, from what I know).
2. The base is quite easy. You have to forget some habits (from Java in general), you have to know some workarounds, but basically it isn't really hard to learn.
3. Table support is currently light, it is planned to be more comprehensive. Currently, you can use a number of third party table components. Or if you don't care about mobile phone support, you can still use Swing components.

Open GL Vs Quartz - Which is better for 2D game development?

Hi,
I am new to iphone game development. I want to create 2D game. Simple game with objects moving around.
I never used Open GL as well as Quartz. For this game I am planing to study that.
I want to know which is better from OpenGL or Quartz?
And where I can learn more on that?
Thanks,
Ganesh Pisal

I would recommend against OpenGL for a 2D game. Quartz does a lot of work to avoid updating parts of the screen that haven't changed, something OpenGL doesn't do. The iPhone's implementation of OpenGL has other serious performance issues.

Onclick or onsubmit which is better?

Hello,
Adding JS validation onclick of a submit button or adding JS
to form onsubmit, which is better?. What is Adv and Dis?.
<form name="frm" method="post">
<input type="Submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"
onclick="return JSCheck(this.form)">
</form>
OR
<form name="frm" method="post" onsubmit="return
JSCheck(this.form)">
<input type="Submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>
Thanks

In this kind of programming there are no hard and fast rules.
I don't think there is a significant difference between the two.
Which one you choose depends on how creatively you put the function
JSCheck() together.
However, i prefer the second. I get the feeling the button is
'overloaded', as it has to respond to two events: submit the form
and run the script.
Also, if the Javascript performs form validation, then it
will only be natural for it to be called by onSubmit. Imagine that
the result of the form validation,
return JSCheck(this.form), is a boolean. If it is true, the
form is submitted; otherwise, not. In these circumstances the code
onSubmit="true;" will be more natural than the code
onClick="true;" .
