Why not always use H-REAP

Hello All,
I apologize if this has appeared in another thread, but it has been something I've been mulling over now for a couple weeks. With the improvements in the 7.2.103, is there any reason to not automatically make every deployment an H-REAP (now FlexConnect) deployment? Just the mere fact of WLAN survivability during controller outage, without a redundant controller of course, is a strong incentive. With all the progress Cisco has made, I'm trying to come up with reasons to not just configure every deployment to be H-REAP/Flexconnect. Off the top of my head the only reasons I can think of are:
-extra config on the access switch
-limited to 25 AP's per H-REAP group. (Even this reason is really not that big of one when designed properly)
I'm highly curious what the community thinks.
Thanks in advance,
Matt

Matt,
At this time I don't think the question should be why or why not use FlexConnect of every single deployment. Local mode and FlexConnect both have their own benefits and each should be carefully considered for the deployment in question. A few items to keep in mind are:
Where will the APs be located in relation to the WLC?
Who is going to be managing this system? (FlexConnect is more difficult to manage than local due to the additional configuration.)
Does it make sense for data traffic? (In one case I had a customer that did not have their controller located at a central point of their network... Not my choice or reccomendation.)
Do I need AAA override?
FlexConnect isn't terrible but it's still got a ways to go regarding development. It was designed around the idea of remote branch deployment, not necessairly large depolyments at one site where a customer could have multiple redundant controllers.
So far some limitations I've personally faced are bugs.
Don't let that stop you from utilizing FlexConnect as it does indeed have its uses.

Some of it may be a little out of date as it was written in 2010.

Why not always use -server option?

Hello!
I've tried running some my applications with -server option - and discovered that for non-GUI apps -server renders drastic increase in execution speed.
For example code below takes only 2 seconds to execute with java -server while it takes more then 120 seconds with java -client option.
Now I'm considering writing all apps with
Runtime.exec("java -server MyApplication");Can someone tell me in what cases -server is a bad choice, and when it's OK?
And, in my code - does java runtime really create 1000 threads - or is there some optimization?
        public void run()
                int q=0;
                for (int i=0; i<10000000; i++)
                        q++;
        public static void main (String args[])
            long l_start = System.currentTimeMillis();
                for (int h=0; h<1000; h++)
                        new Hell().start();
                System.out.println("Operation took "+(System.currentTimeMillis()- l_start)/1000+" seconds");

JVM tutorial states that there are the cases when server performs slower. If you going to execute a small utility (<20 sec), use client.

Media Encoder CS6 does not always "Use Previews"

I've attempted several transcodes using pre-rendered timelines in Premiere Pro. Media encoder does not always use the preview files despite the appropriate box being checked. Any suggestions what I can look for? I don't see that I am doing anything different between the times it works and the times it doesn't.

Why not to use static methods - with example

Hi Everyone,
I'd like to continue the below thread about "why not to use static methods"
Why not to use static methods
with a concrete example.
In my small application I need to be able to send keystrokes. (java.awt.Robot class is used for this)
I created the following class for these "operations" with static methods:
public class KeyboardInput {
     private static Robot r;
     static {
          try {
               r = new Robot();
          } catch (AWTException e) {
               throw new RuntimeException(e + "Robot couldn't be initialized.");
     public static void wait(int millis){
          r.delay(millis);
     public static void copy() {
          r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
          r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_C);
          r.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_C);
          r.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
     public static void altTab() {
          r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ALT);
          r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_TAB);
          r.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_TAB);
          r.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ALT);
               // more methods like paste(), tab(), shiftTab(), rightArrow()
}Do you thinks it is a good solution? How could it be improved? I've seen something about Singleton vs. static methods somewhere. Would it be better to use Singleton?
Thanks for any comments in advance,
lemonboston

I think a singleton might be a better approach for you. Just kill the public constructor and provide a getInstance method to provide lazy initialization.Thanks maheshguruswamy for advising on the steps to create a singleton from this class.
Could you maybe advise also about why do you say that it would be better to use singleton? What's behind it? Thanks!In short, it seems to me that a single instance of your class will be able to coordinate actions across your entire application. So a singleton should be enough.But that doesn't answer why he should prefer a singleton instead over a bunch of static methods. Functionally the two are almost identical. In both cases there's only one "thing" on which to call methods--either a single instance of the class, or the class itself.
To answer the question, the main reason to use a Singleton over a classful of static methods is the same reason the drives a lot of non-static vs. static decisions: Polymorphism.
If you use a Singleton (and and interface), you can do something like this:
KeyboardInput kbi = get_some_instance_of_some_class_that_implements_KeyboardInput_somehow_maybe_from_a_factory();And then whatever is calling KBI's public methods only has to know that it has an implementor of that interface, without caring which concrete class it is, and you can substitute whatever implementation is appropriate in a given context. If you don't need to do that, then the static method approach is probably sufficient.
There are other reasons that may suggest a Singleton--serialization, persistence, use as a JavaBean pop to mind--but they're less common and less compelling in my experience.
And finally, if this thing maintains any state between method calls, although you can handle that with static member variables, it's more in keeping with the OO paradigm to make them non-static fields of an instance of that class.

Why not to use static methods in interfaces?

why?

Because static methods are always attached to a particular class -- not an object. So object polymorphism (which is what interfaces are good for) won't help. Now, what you can do is say that subclasses must implement a method that looks an awful lot like a static method, in that it doesn't depend on object state.
This bugged me, and it still bugs me a little bit in that I have to instantiate an object of a type in order to call these pseudo-static methods. When the pseudo-static methods tell the user how to initialize the object, you get a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem.

Why not just use UDP?

I have UDP code written in Java that listens to an IP address and port number containing data being sent to that IP and port number. Why wouldn't I just continue to use the traditional UDP paradigm instead of JMS? My ReceiveSocket class creates a new java.net.MulticastSocket instance, creates a new DatagramPacket for reading the bytes, and then takes the datagram packet as input:
private MulticastSocket m_socket = new MulticastSocket( m_receivePort );
private DatagramPacket m_packet = new DatagramPacket( buf, buf.length );
m_socket.receive( m_packet );
I'm able to receive the data being sent and process it. Can someone explain the benefits of the JMS approach?
Thanks!

I would add to Steve's points that the difference in technical specification between UDP and TCP is that TCP guarantees delivery, in order, for messages that are too large to fit in one packet. UDP does not guarantee delivery, or the order of the packets, but it is much faster than TCP.
It is easy to imagine an application that may want guarantees for some data, and does not care for other data. To address this situation, some implementations of JMS go beyond the specification and provide features to allow non-guaranteed data transfer. For instance, I have been using Sun Java System Message Queue which allows NO_ACKNOWLEDGE which increases performance at the cost of reliability.

Organizing mp3 by albums-author not always useful

I use the MP3 features of my 9630 Tour (Verizon) mostly to listen to sermons/messages. In my first smartphone (the Motorola Q) I could organize these files in folders and access what I'm looking for that way. I found with my first BB (the Worldphone), and now the Tour, that this does not help, as it organizes the contents as if they were songs and I am able to locate certain "groups" of messages as "albums" and I can also look by author, and genre. However, I recently purchased an audio book of the New Testament, NKJV Bible, and discovered that when I select that "album" it displays all the books of the N.T. in order by chapter. So, I see all the chapter 1's, then all the Chapter 2's, etc., which makes it useless if, and I do, want to listen by book...not just a chapter at a time and then have to search for the next chapter.
Is there anyway I can get around this? I don't use the desktop software and connect directly to my pc with my USB cable and simply click and drag my files to my card.
Thanks in advance!

It is possible the tracks have lost their identificaiton tags are are not ending up where you expect them to be. Make a brand new playlist and add them to that.

NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHY/WHY NOT TO USE/BUY SERVER

Hey there -
I have a small business (3 employees total.)
My issue thus far has beens scheduling meetings through iCal, etc., and sharing files. Basically, I want my assistant and my partner (and my wife at times as well) to be able to send me invites (vice/versa) for meetings AND also have the ability to make changes to those meetings. Meaning, if my assistant sends me an invite, then only SHE can make changes to that meeting. But say I want to move the time myself or add something to the event, then I need to have her do it and resend the updated invite.
Will server fix this?

Hi mcforman-
No, OSX Server in and of itself will not solve your problem. Your money may be better spent on a scheduling program that can suit your needs.
Have you tried posting your question in the iCal forum? There are knowledgeable folks there that may be able to help: Category : iCal

Why not buy? 2.16GHz CoreDuo MacBook Pro

I currently use a 17-inch G4 1.33GHz PowerBook and am ready for an upgrade. I'm considering to a new Core Duo machine. My uses are modest page layout (Quark Xpress) light photo editing (Photoshop) and presentations (PowerPoint). The ability to run Windows applications directly (With Parallels) is very important; moderate travel use and desktop replacement are the other criteria. There is currently what appears to be a screaming good deal from several of the mail-order houses ($1700 after rebates) on the original 17-inch 2.16GHz MacBook Pro. This is the version that came before todays Core 2 Duo machines and will obviously be slower and less capable. But saving a grand is attractive. Is there any compelling reason NOT to go for the Core Duo machine? Will it be unable to run applications that are foeseeable? Will it be an unloved technical orphan? Why might I regret the purchase?
Thanks for all advice.
PowerBook 17" Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Tony is right, BUT to be more specific the 15in Core2Dues include both Firewire 800 and 400, where as the 15in CoreDuo had just firewire 400. As for the 17in CoreDuo (the one Aces is looking at) that did have firewire 800 adn 400...
I want to also add that the programs you listed you work with are questionable to me. I mean this in regards to their native processor language, those programs are written for PowerPC chips. I am not sure if you are familiar so please let me briefly explain (I, as well as others can go into more detail if needed). Anyways, as you know, the new Apple computers such as the MBP have intel processors. Meaning the entire chip architechture is different then that of the G3, G4, G5 (all were PowerPC chips). So although Apple rewrote the Operating system to work for the new intel chips, many software vendors, such as the programs you listed (Photoshop, Powerpoint, etc...) have yet to be rewritten. Therefore it theory they would not work at all! But of course Apple needed to do something about this compatability issue or else consumers would not buy the new intel processors.
So Apple created something called Rosetta. Rosetta is an emulator that runs in the background and is always ready to translate PowerPC programs to work on the new intel platform. So, if you had your new MBP and launched photoshop, it would launch like normal. But underneath, Rosetta is enabling this PowerPC program to work on the intel. The problem with this is: a signifigant performance hit. If you ever ran Virtual PC on your powerbook to use windows, you know how slow it can be.
My point in telling you this is that software vendors, such as Adobe, are working to create intel versions of their software so that no Rosetta (thus performance hits) will occur. And since Photoshop and others are still off in the distance, like this coming spring/summer Q2-Q3, I would say why not keep using your Powerbook and wait to upgrade until every program you want to use properly works with intel. By then, you can also probably get the current Core2Due MBP for a steal.

Hi all,
Synchronous integration
I disagree either! SYNC comms are cool
User Interface Integration scenario
I don't agree totally, i think it depends from what people want to do, per eg: In a B2B scenario, where Portal needs to acess an application, which is outside the company, i think communication should't be direct.
Web Service interface of backend application
I don't disagree totally, if in a company exists only one or two servers... :P. Normally when i hear something like that, it comes from people, who still have some resistance about PI and midlewares in general...If there is only one scenario or two, well, who cares about a middleware, why spending money on it. However, if you have complex architectures, several applications, multiple scenarios, obviously a middleware adds a lot of value, and if a company already has it and pays for it, why not to use it?
Any more opinions?
Naresh, why do you say PI is not unicode compatible? Can you open a thread with an example?

Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?

Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?
Depending on the system version, and Office Word version:
- a pure URL link starting with http or even www sometimes works in PDF, either produced by Aperçu or Adobe, sometimes does not work;
- other kind of links where the text under display is not a URL, never work!
I like everything with Apple computers and software, except PDF generation. Output files are usually bigger in size, and no better quality, than under Windows. Furthermore, it is weird that something as common as hyperlinks does not work correctly!
I related this question with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, but the problem is still there with Mac OS Lion.
This problem seems to have been around for years, without any proper solution from Apple and/or Adobe! To me, this is very embarrassing!

Greetings NoNameGiven,
If I understand the problem correctly (I’m not sure I do) you would prefer ‘iii’ to be read as “eye eye eye” rather than “three”? The alt text property is the only way that I know of to make this happen. Hope this helps.
