Which is the correct way to program a Desktop Application???

Hello all,
I haven't programmed in a while and I just got the free Netbeans 6.1 CD just for kicks and to try it out. I'm making a basic application for a store that one of my family members has. I was programming away as I could and right now I came to a conclusion... I think I maybe doing this wrong.
I have done all the GUI using the Netbeans IDE plugin visual designer and I just click on the button and add the event and then I program away. But just right now I noticed another file that is called NameOfProgramApp.java. Then I look to the right and I have NameOfProgramView.java where I have been placing most of my code. Is this the right place to put the code???
I think I maybe missing something or maybe doing some lousy code writing. Any help would be awsome. Is this where I put my Object Oriented think hat on to accomplish the correct way??
Thanks in advance and it feels good to be back :D

--GUI code logic {local rules and edits}
--WEB/Network {interface for multiuser}
--BUSINESS RULES {rules and coding to make your business work}
--DATABASE {where do you store your durable data}
Granted, this is a very simplistic look, but it will get you a start a thinking process for your app.

Which is the correct way to filter/block traffic between vlans?

Hi all. My question is: Which is the correct way to filter/block traffic between vlans?
i have a more than 15 vlans. I want to block traffic between them except 2 vlans.
source vlan 3 deny destination vlan 4
#access-list 100 deny ip 192.168.3.0 0.0.0.255 192.168.4.0 0.0.0.255
and the oposite:
#access-list 101 deny ip 192.168.4.0 0.0.0.255 192.168.3.0 0.0.0.255
I have to do this for all VLANs, ono by one. Is that right?
Thanks.

There are a couple of ways to achieve that. I assume that you have a Layer3-Switch. There I would configure one ACL per vlan-interface and allow/deny the traffic as you want. Sadly, the Switches don't support object-groups yet, so you have to use the IP-networks here. Only allow/deny traffic based on networks or hosts. Don't even try to be very granular with permit/denys based on ports. Because the switch-ACLs are not statefull you'll run into problems for the return-traffic if you woulf do that. And the return-traffic of course has to be allowed also.
Another way: with the help of 802.1x you can deploy port-based ACLs for every user. That takes some time for planning, but is one of the most powerful solutions.
For more control you could remove the L3-interface from your L3-switch and move that to your router or firewall. These devices support stateful filtering and you can control your traffic much tighter tehn with ACLs on the switch.
Don't stop after you've improved your network! Improve the world by lending money to the working poor:

What is the correct way to set a web application to use HTTP or HTTPS?

In the past I've always created an HTTP web application as the default zone. Then extended the web app, creating a new IIS website on port 443 and enabled SSL. This seems to have worked fine, but I recently read an article stating that it is not good to
extend a web app unless absolutely necessary. So can someone tell me what the proper way is to configure a single web application to work with HTTP and HTTPS?

Extending the web application to support both HTTP and HTTPS is a perfectly good method and in fact is the only way to have a web application support both so what you've done is fine.
If the web application will only use HTTPS, you can set this up when you first create the web application. Specify port 443 and the SSL option (and ensure the URL has an https://) when creating the web application. You'll need to install the certificate
in IIS once the web application has been created.

Which is the correct way to reload data in a partition?

I have a partitioned table and there's a particular partition which i need to remove the data and reload it again since we found out that parts of that partition had invalid data. Which is the best (valid) way to remove the old contents of the partition:
1) to truncate the partition and then drop the tablespace it points into, and building again the tablespace and partition?
or
2) to simply delete the partition and rebuild it ?
thanks

HT1338 Hi I would like to know which is the correct way to upgrade my imac.

My operating system is Mac OS X 10.4.11 with processor GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Memory 1 GB SDRAM 667 MHzDDR2
Thanks for the help

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether further updates are required.
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

I would like to read a text file in which the decimal numbers are using dots instead of commas. Is there a way of converting this in labVIEW, or how can I get the program to enterpret the figures in the correct way?

The program doest enterpret my figures from the text file in the correct way since the numbers contain dots instead of commas. Is there a way to fix this in labVIEW, or do I have to change the files before reading them in the program? Thanks beforehend!

You must go in the labview option menu, you can select 'use the local
separator' in the front side submenu (LV6i).
If you use the "From Exponential/Fract/Eng" vi, you are able to select this
opton (with a boolean) without changing the labview parameters.

Which of of these two choices is the correct way to call a report ?

Environment is 9iAS.
Which of of these two choices is the correct way to call a report from the menu?
Choice 1) CGNV$INVOKE_REPORT('W02226.adinfra.net:8888,reports9i', 'rv043knd.rdf', CACHE, '', 'HTML',NULL );
Coice 2) qms$menu.set_current_action('LAUNCH_REPORT','rv043knd.rdf'); execute_trigger('QMS$MENU_ITEM');

although the menu-preference MNUDRC has the value qms$menu.set_current_action('LAUNCH_REPORT','<MODULE>'); execute_trigger('QMS$MENU_ITEM');
the generated code for calling the report in the menu is like the code under option 1).
What else do we need to set (in the preferences or elsewhere) to use the Headstart Report Launch Form ???
thanks! Bart

What is the correct way to format file paths and names in the structapp file?

I am trying to create a structured application to export fm files as xml, and probably read the xml back to fm.
In the structured application file (structapp), I need to specify the locations of the various files (DTD, read/write, template, etc). I would like to place these files on a shared server so others can use the same structapp file (that is, a cop of it). What is the correct way to format the file paths and names? Can folders folder names and file names have spaces in them? I tried the following, for example:
\\serverName\shareName\folder 1\folder 2\file name.dtd
I use the same format for the template file and the read/write rules file.
When I try to save an fm file to xml, FrameMaker says that it cannot read the DTD; however, the resulting xml file appears to be well-formed. The DOCTYPE element in the resulting xml is formatted with forward slashes and spaces replaced with %20.
I tried using forward slashes and replacing spaces with %20, but then I get an error about reading the read/write rules.
NOTE: I have another structured application to read xml into fm. This application does not have a DTD file. The template and read/write rules files are specified as above. Except for complaining about a lack of a DTD, the application works fine; it even applies an XSLT in the process. Again, when I DO add a DTD to this latter application, I get the same complaint about not being able to read the DTD.
I am using fully patched FrameMaker 9 in Windows XP.
Thanks,
Van

Hi Van,
The XML parser and FrameMaker are not the same thing. The Error Log says which component created which message. The XSL processor is another option that can throw messages. The "\\server\path\some.dtd" syntax in structapps.fm seems to be fine for some tools, as Internet Explorer with XML tools successfully finds the DTD which appears as "//server/path/some.dtd" in the XML. But apparently Xerxes, the XML parser bundled with FrameMaker, does not like this notation.
If you have a path with a drive letter, "H:\path\some.dtd", FrameMaker turns that into "file:///H:/path/some.dtd". It seems, Xerces would like to see "file:/" in front of absolute paths.
This is what I have in structapps.fm:
Template: \\server\path\projecttemplate.fm
DTD: some.dtd
Read/write rules: \\server\path\projectrules.txt
DOCTYPE: …
Entity locations
Entity search paths
1: \\server\path\
In the structapps.fm I have the DTD without path information. The resulting XML (without XSL postprocessing) then contains just the file name with a relative path back to the book folder (when saving a book as XML). It therefore requires the DTD to be available at this place. I handle this using an event script that fires for NotePreSaveXml and copies the DTD to the folder of the original document.
As I always use XSL postprocessing and using XSLT1 it is not possible to have the doctype-system as a parameter I have this in my XSL stylesheet:
<xsl:output doctype-system="some.dtd" />
For the resulting XML the DTD is expected to be in the same folder as the XML file. This is handled by the same event script as above, it therefore copies the DTD to the source and the target folder.
Bottom line: If you want/have to use UNC paths, you have to do some programming to work around a FrameMaker bug.

What is the correct way to set up a new Mac

A friend of mine recently migrated from Windows and bought himself an iMac. He got the local Apple store to set up his iMac and migrate his data from his Windows to his iMac. I was recently helping him set up a few a additional things on his iMac and was supprised to see how the Apple store had set up the machine.
There was only one account set up on the iMac and all of the user data had been loaded into this admin account. Now I've only been a Mac user for about 5 years, but I was always taught create an admin account with no data on it and then set up a separate user account(s) which contain all the user data and these are used by the users to log in.
Now my question is who is right the Apple shop or me? I would e intertested to hear any experts views on the correct way to set up an OSX machine.

Both of you. Either way is acceptable. However, for a single user machine there's really no need to have more than the admin account.

I have a macbook air late 2010 and keep getting a warning that my hard drive is full and to delete things so I purchased a external hard drive (1TB) but I'm just not sure what the correct way to transfer and store files to the external drive is. First MAC

I purchased a macbook air about 5 months ago and lately i keep recieving a warning that the hard drive or disk is full and that I will need to move items to trash in order to free up space on it. I purchased a external hard drive 1 TB but I'm very new to mac and ios and unsure as to how I'm suppose to transfer my files (video, pics, music etc.) from my mac over to the external hard drive in the correct way so I won't end up deleting them permenately or screwing anything up with my mac as far as the applications and programs being able to run. Am I supposed to just copy to the external hard drive and then move to and empty the trash? That's pretty much all I could come up with, but then what if i need or want to access that file again at a later time. Also, I have an i Phone and i pad so with i cloud it automatically syncs all my purcheses and if i delete something from itunes on my mac it deletes from my ipad.
I'd appreciate any kind of input i think im just a little lost here. I have to say i love my Mac and wouldn't trade it for anything (except maybe a macbook pro w/more memory)... Is there something I'm missing???

To free up hard drive space the best bet is to move data files that you don't need access to all the time. Likely candidates are music, video, and photos. Things like word processing and spreadsheet files can also be moved but they tend not to be very large and so don't free up much space. The problem with moving the above mentioned files is that iTunes and iPhoto need to know where the files are stored.
Here's an article explaining how to move the iTunes folder. You can move the iPhoto library using the Finder but there is a slight complication. Start iPhoto, open the Preferences and click on the Advanced tab. The first option is "Copy items to the iPhoto Library". If this option is checked, copy the iPhoto library to your external folder (drag it from the Pictures folder to your external drive) and then delete it from your Picture folder. If this option is not checked, it is a bit more complicated and we'll need to talk a bit.

1.4.2 - What is the correct way to format output in the java.io.PrintStream

With Java 1.4.2:
What is the correct way to format output in the java.io.PrintStream?
The following is incorrect, even though it is still used in the The JavaTM Tutorial at: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/
System.out.formatThis returns "cannot resolve the method 'format'"
Any detailed suggestions or information is greatly appreciated.

The following is incorrect, even though it is still
used in the The JavaTM Tutorial at:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/
The whole format thing has been introduced in 1.5. The tutorial also states it's been "updated to 1.5.".
That's all I've got to say for I don't know how you can format a PrintWriter, let alone a PrintStream, prior to 1.5. I'm not really sure there is any way. Any "legacy way", that is. There almost certainly are third-party API which achieve similar results.

OBIEE 11G Calculation the Correct Way

Hi All,
My requirement is like this that I want to calculate value Gross Profit which is simple Total Revenue - Total Expense. Now I want this to act as a Hierarchy i.e Gross Profit should be drill able to Total Revenue followed by Total Expenses. For this I created a Accounts Dimension table since no Drill Down facility is available on Fact Table(Therefore I had to move my Accounts to Dimension table rather than Fact Table). Now the problem is that there is no minus based aggregation present in OBIEE BMM layer because of which my all other sum based aggregation work correctly except where there is a negative based aggregation required like in the case of Gross Profit. Kindly Suggest what is the correct way to approach this problem. I am working on OBIEE 11g in this case.
Warm Regards
Abhishek Kapoor

Financial reporting is difficult in BI because of the user preference of how to see signs on different accounts and requirements for adding/subtracting depending on the type of account.
A few ways to approach:
a. Use case statement to make total rev and total expense columns. Subtract to build a gross profit column. You can do this in the presentation services front end or the BMM.
b. If you have opposite natural signs for rev and exp, you can create an account hierarchy in the account table which will net out to gross profit. Ex:
Column 1 – account number
Column 2 – hierarchy level 1, ex Gross Profit
Column 3 – hierarchy level 2, ex Rev or exp
Column 4 – account name
Etc…
c. Remember you can always build your own drilldown using navigation links to a report instead of the built-in drilldown.
Good luck!

Acrobat 9 or Designer 8.2 Which of the two is best program to design a form in.

I have some questions that I would like explained to me (by you long time users)
I have acrobat 9 and designder 8.2.1
1. Which of the two is best program to design a form in.
2. What is the differance between the two in designing a form.(advantages / disadvantages)
3. If I have a word .doc form that I want to make into a pdf, which program is best to open it in to work on, Adobe 9 or designer.
4. If I create a form in Adobe 9 or designer can I open it in either after saving it to continue working on.
TIA
Tony

I think this is a matter of opinion. The drawback of using Designer is that you can no longer edit in Acrobat at all. Those of us that learned in Acrobat, often favor the Acrobat route. In Designer you can import WORD forms and that might be useful at times; however, you can not edit it in Acrobat. Indeed, you can still open the form made in either using Reader or Acrobat. If you want backward compatibility, you need to be careful about saving it as such and not adding capabilities that are new with AA9. Those capabilities will be lost with earlier versions.
The best way is to try it both ways and see what you think. When you buy Acrobat, Designer is part of the package. Thus you have the choice and can try both. Make a sample PDF for creating a form and then make 2 copies. You might even start out with a WORD form. Discover the pros and cons yourself. I have never felt the need to go to Designer and it seems that a lot of folks go there only because that is where the forms menu sends them, not realizing they could have used the TOOLS in Acrobat.

Is there one tell me the correct way to access remote SQL server

Hi
I have tried to access a remote SQL server by many ways but all failed
here is my trying :
String driver = "com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver";
String url= "jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://217.52.98.102:1433";
Class.forName(driver);
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"sa"," " );
String selectStr = "select * from FleetWatch..table_name";
Statement st = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery(selectStr);
DriverManager.registerDriver(new com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver());
// connect to the DB by using the driver.
String connString = "217.52.98.102:1433;databasename=FleetWatch";
String strDBConnect = "jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://" + connString;
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(strDBConnect, "sa", "");
String driver = "com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver";
Class driverClass = Class.forName(driver, true, jdbcLoader);
Driver currDriver = (Driver)driverClass.newInstance();
Properties prop = new Properties();
prop.setProperty("sa", (String)paras.get("sa");
prop.setProperty("password", (String)paras.get(" ");
String url= "jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://217.52.98.102:1433";
conn = currDriver.connect((String)paras.get(url, prop);
pls tell if you know the correct way to access a remote sql server and
access it befor tell me its step to ensure it's connect

String driver = "com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver";
String url= "jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://your servername:1433";
Class.forName(driver);
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"username ","password " );
this user name and password may be diff becoz if u have only sql authentication then u have to know that user name or it can have windows nt authentication so if it is so then no probs can use ur windows nt login..
know the server name where ur sqlserver is connected to.
set the classpath for the sqlserverdrivers jar files which u have downloaded where ur working on.
then it works
i did the same and worked for me.
try it.

What's the correct way to handle changes in RDBMS/DBadapter?

In my project all changes to the database are not done via Jdeveloper but via TOAD. This means DBadapters must be made aware of changes in the database.
I tried to re-run the DBad.apter wizard twice (2 different services) - to make it aware of changes in the DB. Both times it failed. I think was after the import database tab. The next tab was just blank.
So what's the correct way of reconile changes in the db backwards into Jdev?
BTW, in the DBadapter wiz its not possible the remove a already imported table. How do I come across the situation where I want the DBadapter to point to af different table? - and possibly remove old references to another one - which might have been removed in the DB.
As It is now - I have to re-work all my DBadapters, which is not very much fun...
Rgds, Henrik

Trust me, I hv done that umpteen nbr of times.
I hate BA's coming to me with changes, for which I hv to modify the DB adapter.
One big loop-hole with BPEL is if we try to modify the adapters/toplink, it doesnt tend to work properly.
The manthra for such modifications is ... "recreate", which is definetely not a good practise.
You may not like but gottu live with it, my friend.
Pointing to a different table, I achieve it by doing a "Shift+Delete" to all the references of the old table in the BPEL project ... :|
There isnt a specific provision in the wzd (I am not sure of the latest version, though).
