  • Which is better bluetooth 4.0 wireless technology and edr wireless technology ? which is better between the two ?

    i saw in the tech specs that macbook air has "bluetooth 4.0 wireless technology" while macbook pro has "bluetooth 2.1 + edr wireless technology". what's the difference ? and which one is better ?

    Bluetooth 4.0 is the later standard. You can read up on it here:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth#Bluetooth_v4.0
    Whether Bluetooth 4.0 is "better" than the earlier version depends entirely on the Bluetooth peripheral you wish to use, but in general, the later version is more desirable since it included all of the older versions' capabilities and adds some new ones. If the peripheral doesn't take advantage of those new capabilities, though, then it won't matter.

  • I need to know the right tools and java technology

    Please help,I need to know the right tools and java technology to support what I need.
    I had background programming in Assembly,C++,Visual Basic,SAP/ABAP 4.
    All I can say, programming is about logic, now we are very helped building program using objects.
    I'm very interest to SAP tech, where all screens, programs, reports are resides on tables, this is the real dynamic!
    CUrrently I'm eager to do the same technic with java. I'm new to java....
    What I know the J2EE is the core for me to start is it right? I was very interest with the Client-Server Tech. How can I impelemet this with Java?
    I'm a bit confuse with so many java solutions. There is Java Applets, Swing, Java AWT, JavaBeans, etc...
    I don't know what is the best if I want my Presentation/Client Application will run within browser (not standard html, using like windows gui). What should I do to make business logic objects, how to invoke it within the gui. how to make installation package whenever clients connect to the http server.
    if you have a pointer to do it please let me know.... I'm very appreciate all your response...
    Best regards,

    I'd say - don't get carried away with the heavyweight frameworks. Don't use EJB if Hibernate and/or Tomcat will do the job. There's a danger of winding up using a bulldozer to crack a wallnut.
    What people mean by "J2EE" varies a fair bit.
    Start with Tomcat, which has the virtue of being free. Try some JSPs and servlets.
    Use Applets to do client side presentation only if you must; Applets create an installation overhead on end-users, and some of them can't cope, while others may not have the necessary installation permissions on their office machines. They are pretty rarely needed, IMNSHO, most client-side behaviour is better handled with html and JavaScript.

  • ASK THE EXPERTS : High Density Wireless Deployments and CleanAir Technology

    Welcome to the Cisco Support Community Ask the Expert conversation. This is an opportunity to get an update on High Density Wireless Deployments and CleanAir technology with Cisco expert Fred Niehaus. Fred is a technical marketing engineer for the Wireless Networking Business Unit at Cisco, where he is responsible for developing and marketing enterprise wireless solutions using Cisco wireless LAN products. In addition to his participation in major deployments, Fred has served as technical editor for several Cisco Press books including the "Cisco 802.11 Wireless Networking Reference Guide" and "The Business Case for Enterprise-Class Wireless LANs." Prior to joining Cisco with the acquisition of Aironet, Fred was a support engineer for Telxon Corporation, supporting some of the very first wireless implementations for major corporate customers. Fred has been in the data communications and networking industry for more than 20 years and holds a Radio Amateur (Ham) License "N8CPI."

    You are correct, between the higher numbers of users with multiple devices the bandwidth requirements keep increasing.
    The limitation of three non-overlapping channels in the 2.4 GHz space is driving more customers to 5 GHz, it is important to have both bands when high density deployments are needed.  While many older devices only support 2.4 GHz, we are now seeing far more devices with 5 GHz as well.
    The recomendation of 20-25 clients and 8 voice calls on a given 2.4 GHz channel is still a good "rule of thumb" with actual customer data requirements driving those numbers higher or lower. You are right when you say "throwing Access Points" at the problem can degrade the wireless quality as co-channel interference and overall noise floor can rise with multiple Access Points that can all hear each other.
    A better approach to the problem is to throw more spectrum at this issue (using 5 GHz channels) and elements of 802.11n (20 MHz) bandwidth on 2.4 GHz.
    What we have been doing in high density deployments is to try to minimize the propagation of a cell and focus it in a given direction.  This can be done by
    1. Managing the RF power of the radios (Access Points) and in some cases the client's power (using elements of CCX).
    2. Using the right antennas to shape both Tx and Rx cell size to help isolate, we have recently introduced a new high gain antenna for stadiums that does this well.
    3. Limit supported rates, obviously the higher the data rate the less sensitive the receiver is and the smaller the cell size becomes.
    4. Enable 5 GHz (that adds far more channels for data throughput)
    5. Limit the number of SSIDs in use as each requires a separate beacon (adding to RF utilization)
    6. Co-locating access points with non-overlapping channels
    There are some challenges, for example; many dual -band clients prefer to connect to 2.4 GHz, and 2.4 GHz is more likely to be busier and subject to interference, so we also enable Cisco "Band-Select" which basically "nudges" those clients off 2.4 GHz and pushes them to 5 GHz so as to free up the 2.4 GHz band when we can determine the client has 5 GHz capability.
    So how is this done? well, we do this by listening to the clients and if we detect that the client is sending out probe requests on both bands we know the client can use 5 GHz so we essentially make the 5 GHz band "appear more attractive" to that client.
    Note: Client load balancing and Band select are features in the Cisco Unified controller menu.
    Also enabling client link (intelligent beam forming) helps direct the signal directly at the client and reduces same channel interference.

  • PL/SQL and Java Swing interface

    Everybody in this forum knows that Oracle is the best database around
    with many functionalities, stability, performance, etc. We also know
    that PL/SQL is a great language to manipulate information directly
    in the database with many built in functions, OOP capability,
    transaction control, among other features. Today an application that
    manipulates information, which needs user interface, requires components
    to be developed using different technologies and normally running in
    different servers or machines. For example, the interface is done using
    a dynamic HTML generator like JSP, PHP, PL/SQL Web Toolkit, etc.
    This page is executed in an application server like Oracle iAS or
    Tomcat, just to name two, which in turn access a database like Oracle to
    build the HTML. Also rich clients like Java applets require an intermediate
    server to access the database (through servlets for example) although
    it is possible to access the database directly but with security issues.
    Another problem with this is that complexity increases a lot, many
    technologies, skills and places to maintain code which leads to a greater
    failure probability. Also, an application is constantly evolving, new
    calculations are added, new tables, changed columns. If you have an
    application with product code for example and you need to increase its
    size, you need to change it in the database, search for all occurrences
    of it in the middle-tier code and perhaps adjust interfaces. Normally
    there is no direct dependency among the tier components. On another
    issue, many application interfaces today are based on HTML which doesn't
    have interactive capabilities like rich-client interfaces. Although it
    is possible to simulate many GUI widgets with JavaScript and DHTML, it is
    far from the interactive level we can accomplish in rich clients like
    Java Swing, Flash MX, Win32, etc. HTML is also a "tag-based" language
    originally created to publish documents so even small pages require
    many bytes to be transmitted, far beyond of what we see on the screen.
    Even in fast networks you have a delay time to wait the page to be
    loaded. Another issue, the database is in general the central location
    for all kinds of data. Most applications relies on it for security,
    transaction and availability. My proposal is to use Oracle as the
    central location for interface, processing and data. With this approach
    we can create not only the data manipulation procedures in the database,
    but procedures that also control and manage user interfaces. Having
    a Oracle database as the central location for all components has many
    advantages:
    - Unique point of maintenance, backup and restore
    - Integrated database security
    - One language for everything, PL/SQL or Java (even both if desired)
    - Inherited database cache, transaction and processing optimizations
    - Direct access to the database dictionary
    - Application runs on Oracle which has support for many platforms.
    - Transparent use of parallel processing, clusters and future
    background technologies
    Regarding the interface, I already created a Java applet renderer
    which receives instructions from the database on how to create GUI
    objects and how to respond to events. The applet is only 8kb and can
    render any Swing or AWT object/event. The communication is done
    through HTTP or HTTPS using Oracles's MOD_PLSQL included in the Apache
    HTTP server which comes with the database or application server (iAS).
    I am also creating a database framework and APIs in PL/SQL to
    create and manipulate the client interface. The applet startup is
    very fast because it is very small, you don't need to download large
    classes with the client interface. Execution is done "on-demand"
    according to instructions received from the database. The instructions
    are very optimized in terms of network bandwidth and based on preliminary
    tests it can be up to 1/10 of a similar HTML screen. Less network usage
    means faster response and means that even low speed connections will
    have a good performance (a future development can be to use this in
    wireless devices like PDAs e even cell phones, just an idea for now).
    The applet can also be executed standalone by using Java Web Start.
    With this approach no business code, except the interface, is executed
    on the client. This means that alterations in the application are
    dynamically reflected in the client, no need to "re-download" the
    application. Events are transmitted when required only so network
    usage is minimized. It is also possible to establish triggering
    events to further reduce network usage. Since the protocol used is
    HTTP (which is stateless), the database framework I am creating will
    be responsible to maintain the state of connections, variables, locks
    and session information, so the developer don't need to worry about it.
    The framework will have many layers, from communication up to
    application so there will be pre-built functions to handle queries,
    pagination, lock, mail, log, etc. The final objective is to have a
    rich client application integrated into the database with minimum
    programming and maintenance requirements, not forgetting customization
    capabilities. Below is a very small example of what can de done. A
    desktop with two windows, each window with two fields, a button with an
    image to switch the values, and events to convert the typed text when
    leaving the field or double-clicking it. The "leave" event also has an
    optimization to only be triggered when the text changes. I am still
    developing the framework and adjusting the renderer but I think that all
    technical barriers were transposed by now. The framework is still in
    the early stages, my guess is that only 5% is done so far. As a future
    development even an IDE can be created so we have a graphical environment
    do develop applications. I am willing to share this with the PL/SQL
    community and listen to ideas and comments.
    Example:
    create or replace procedure demo1 (
    jre_version in varchar2 := '1.4.2_01',
    debug_info in varchar2 := 'false',

    Is it sound like Oracle Portal?
    But you want to save a layer 9iAS.
    Basically, that was the WebDB.(Oracle changed the name to Portal when version 3.0)
    Over all, I agree with you.

  • How not to use Cold Fusion and Java

    Overview
    This write up is intended to give java developers that are
    developing ColdFusion applications some beneficial information:
    things that are not documented.
    Scenario
    The company builds enterprise class web application software
    for fortune 500 companies. It had purchased a CF 7 based product,
    had and existing proprietary J2EE based product, and needed to
    integrate the two while meeting a host of new requirements. These
    requirements were based on delivering a better user experience,
    faster / cheaper integration, increased flexibility /
    configuration, useablily, decreasing maintenance costs, the ability
    to deploy in either install or ASP models. An initiative was
    started to create a new framework that integrated the best of each
    technologies. Tactically, this meant that we were to build a hybrid
    CF and java application: one that used building blocks (decoupled /
    cohesive components) that would allow applications to be rapidly
    assembled, configured and deployed. This made sense on several
    levels, the team was composed of Java and CF developers, the CF
    rapid application development was very productive, there is great
    functionality delivered in the CF platform and initial performance
    tests showed no cause for alarm
    The agreed upon design, based on requirements, and analysis
    by both the CF and Java staff has us using CF in the presentation
    layer, using a CF based MVC, use of CF based web services. The MVC
    was deployed using CFC inheritance for model objects and views made
    use of CF custom tags. The internals of the application, used a
    rules engine, some proprietary java, ORM, and other J2EE
    technology. The initial performance of the system was reasonable.
    We pushed on with product implementation.
    Then it was time to load test the application, and tune it.
    Under load the response times were orders of magnitude slower,
    sometimes the pages even timed out.
    Armed with our profiler, oracle execution plans and we
    charged ahead addressing issue after issue. Note that we took
    meticulous care in tweaking the active thread pool and ensuring
    that our CF setup was tuned for our application. None of the
    observations here are a condemnation of the language; rather they
    are aspects that, when considered together, not conducive for
    building integrated java and CF frameworks that use a structured /
    OO programming practices. Further detail can be provided on
    request.
    CFC inheritance should be avoided - resolution of variable
    scope is expensive even if properly declared.
    Since CF creates a class per method under the covers call
    stacks become very large, especially if used in a loop. This is
    nominally exacerbated by CF calls necessary to set up for the
    method call (String.toUpper()).
    Nesting of loops and if statements should be kept to a
    minimum - the conditional for each lookup of logical operator like
    LT, GT are synchronized. Under load this results in thread waits.
    Jrun has as single thread pool - both http and web service
    requests use the same pool. Under load this leads to thread
    deadlock. There are work arounds, but they are painful.
    Recursion should be avoided - we had a few recursive routines
    and these had to be rewritten.
    Custom Tags - should be used sparingly - each custom tag
    makes a synchronized call to the license server - (This may be
    fixed in CF 8)
    Summary
    In the end we got the performance to reasonable numbers, but
    we ended up moving some code to java (Custom Tags) and getting rid
    of 'good programming' practices (Inheritance, loops, etc), mandated
    proper variable scoping for those things left over. We prototyped a
    sans cold fusion implementation and had an order of magnitude
    improvement in performance and number of requests served per
    second.
    The lesson? Use Coldfusion in its sweet spot: make a query,
    iterate over the results and format for display. Extensive use of
    structure programming techniques or OO CFCs should be avoided: they
    will work but under load - but are better as a prototype. Building
    frameworks in CF? Think twice, no three times, and, if you must, be
    minimalist.
    Text

    interesting aslbert123,
    Not that I doubt you, but could you answer some questions
    about your implementation that was so slow:
    1.) Did you put your CFCs in the application or server scope?
    2.) Were you initializing your CFCs, via CreateObject or
    <cfinvoke>, on every request?
    3.) Are you sure that you were properly Var'ing every
    variable in your methods? (people typically forget about query
    names and loop iterator variables)
    4.) Could you give examples of how your inheritence was set
    up?
    5.) For CustomTags, did you call them the old <cf_tag>
    way or the newer, better-performing <cfimport> way?
    6.) How did you connect CF to Java exactly?
    Thanks,
    Aaron

  • New mac mini system will not recognize wireless keyboard and trackpad.

    My brand new mac mini system will not initialize properly.  The return on the track pad are not being recognized, although scrolling is. Any others find this?  Support could not figure this out on the phone.  They sent me out to get new batteries and now they are closed.  Batteries have been changed and still nothing.

    My Mac MINI gave me one heck of a time trying to get it  to recognize my Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. both Apple brand.
    I finally had to connect an old USB mouse and keyboard to get the silly thing to connect. 
    Don't forget to repair permissions. 
    I also had to shut the computer down and start it back up a couple of times before it would connect.  I think it has to do with the new Bluetooth 4.0 wireless technology.
    I also turned off my Bluetooth devices and turned them on again, then I pulled the batteries out a couple of times and tried again and again.
    I also put in new battries even thiough the ones I replaced were about a week old.
    Finally, the MINI recognised the mouse and keyboard.
    I wish I could tell you which thing did the trick.

  • ABAP and Java Stack: Which to choose/supported standards and components?

    Hello,
    I am trying to understand the role of the two stacks in NW. Maybe anyone has a few
    hints where I can find answers to the following questions:
    - An overview of supported Standards (Java 5 since when?)
    - An overview of which component runs on which stack? Portal->Java, Integration Server->ABAP and so on.
    - Guidelines when to install both stacks and when to use just one stack? When do I use which one?
    - Has SAP an stategy towards an one Stack solution (possibly Java?)
    Best regards and thanks for any pointers!
    Stefan

    An overview of supported Standards (Java 5 since when?)
    Go to service.sap.com/pam
    Product Availability Matrix will tell you about supported version and platforms.
    An overview of which component runs on which stack? Portal->Java, Integration Server->ABAP and so on.
    Usually the question goes the other direction: what stacks we need for implementation of a particular function?
    More and more products require ABAP backend and Java frontend.
    For example Employee Self Service has been transerred from ABAP only ITS based to ABAP backend and Java frontend.
    Same with SRM.
    Guidelines when to install both stacks and when to use just one stack? When do I use which one?
    Same as above, driven by business requirements, not technology.
    Has SAP an stategy towards an one Stack solution (possibly Java?)
    No. Core business functions are still being developed on ABAP and interface, GUI etc utilize JAVA.

    Slava

  • $30 upgrade fee is for Wireless Workshops and Backup Assistant Plus?

    I recently upgraded my device, over the phone, using the 2 year discount price of $199. I was completely unaware and never told by the VZW agent that I would be paying an extra $30 to help VZW offset the cost of Wireless Workshops and their Backup Assistant+ crap. The agent on the phone told me to expect a $199 + tax charge on my next bill but failed to mention the extra $30 and, to be quite honest, I'm pretty upset about this. I called the customer support line and was told the $30 free is there to support the cost of the Backup Assistant Plus service (which I do not use and have completely removed it from my phone because it's trash) as well as the Wireless Workshops they offer in their stores. This is complete ** and if I had been made aware of this nickle and dime scheme by VZW when I was upgrading, I would have canceled my upgrade and gone with another carrier instead of signing another 2 year contract. I will NEVER go to a workshop for a device, service, whatever that I know how to use or could spend an hour researching online so why am I having to pay for this? I use Titanium Backup Pro and the Android SDK environment to backup my phone and data instead of the clunky Backup Assistant Plus trash. In fact, I've completely removed all traces of BA+ on my phone...
    So why am I "donating" $30 to Verizon for services that I, and I'm willing to bet most people, don't use? Why wasn't I made aware of this by the VZW agent I spoke to on the phone?

    The final price of the phone was $260. I was told by the VZW agent to expect a ~$199 + tax ($215) charge on my next bill. There was no mention of a $30 upgrade fee. I was not notified BEFORE the purchase, and if it's listed on the discount upgrade page it's not very clear.
    I did not see the articles in the news about this fee in the past and VZW did not make it clear to me that I would be charged this fee. I expect the VZW phone agent to make me aware of the fee's associated with any service I use, like this upgrade, but the agent failed to mention it.
    Yes, I am complaining about the discount. I'm already unhappy that I was forced to lose my unlimited data plan when upgrading (unless I paid for the phone in full), but being charged an extra $30 for "services" like BA+ and workshops is absurd. Regardless of how much of a discount it was I don't like having surprise fee's come up on my cell phone bill. Why don't they include that free in the displayed upgrade price? Why not show $229.99 instead of $199.99?
    And it's 57% discount, not 60%+
    Well according to the stats you just posted sales tax is 8% so since you insist on including that, then at full price a $600 phone plus 8% is $648. $260/$648 is 40% thus you received a 60% discount. Also even at 57%, you are complaining about a 57% discount? Really? If you went to a car dealer and got a 57% discount you'd be ecstatic. If you got a TV for 57% you'd be ecstatic.
    This fee was announced April 11th 2012 It made ALL the major news sources.

    Just to name a few sources.
    There is no way you were not told in some fashion. You say VZW agent. So you ordered this over the phone? Ok so where did you see the phone you wanted? Um at this site? Well the fee is listed VERY clearly on the price of the phone. if youw ent into a VZW store it;s CLEARLY listed on the price tags.

  • Java SE5 and Java EE5 difference

    What is the difference between Java SE5 and Java EE5? Also difference btwn SDK and JDK? I am confused about these basic concepts.
    Thanks

    Java Platform, Enterprise Edition is a related specification which includes all of the classes in Java SE, plus a number which are more useful to programs which run on servers as opposed to workstations.
    Java EE includes several API specifications, such as JDBC, RMI, e-mail, JMS, web services, XML, etc, and defines how to coordinate them. Java EE also features some specifications unique to Java EE for components. These include Enterprise JavaBeans, servlets, portlets (following the Java Portlet specification), JavaServer Pages and several web service technologies.

  • Building a best practice web application using ColdFusion and Jave EE

    I've been tasked with rewriting a software using ColdFusion.  I cannot seem to find a lot of information on best practice development in ColdFusion.  I am an experience Java developer who has never used ColdFusion before.  I want to build this application using a synergy of ColdFusion and Java EE technologies.  Can someone recommend me a book that outlines how to developer in ColdFusion?  Ideally this book assumes the reader is an experienced developer with no exposure to ColdFusion.  Ideally the methods outlined in the book are still "best practice" methods.

    Hello Friends,
    I am also in the same situation.
    I am a building a new web application using JSF and AJAX.
    Requirement is I need to use IBM version of DOJO and JSF but I need to develop the whole application using Eclipse 3.3,2 and Tomcat 5.5.
    With IBM version of DOJO and JSF, will Eclipse and Tomcat help to speed up the development or do you suggest me to go for Rational Application Developer and WebSphere Application Server.
    If I need to go with RAD and WAS, then I am new to RAD and WAS, is it easy to use RAD and WAS for this kind of application and implement web applicaiton fast.
    Any feedback will be great help.Those don't sound like requirements of the system to me. They sound more like someone wants to improve their CV/resume
    From what I've read recently, if it's just fast you want, look at Ruby on Rails

  • Forms and Java

    Hello,
    I have written a Java program that I want to call from a forms program. My form is written in the latest version of Oracle Forms Builder. My logic in the Java class is a common functionality that I want to use in many forms in my application. This functionality is written in Java because PL/SQL does not have functionality for that logic.
    By the way, I have an additional question regarding PL/SQL and Java classes. Suppose I want to write common functionality that accesses my database with SQL statement. Which technology is best for performance? Is it Java or PL/SQL? My guess is PL/SQL?!

    I have now found the FORMS90_BUILDER_CLASSPATH in the registry. I have added my Jar file at the end of the FORMS90_BUILDER_CLASSPATH like this;
    C:\OraHome_1\forms90\java\javacode.jar. Then I restarted my computer.
    My javacode listed in the jar file is not available in the import java dialog in forms builder. Is there something else I should do? The only thing that I have done is the changes on the FORMS90_BUILDER_CLASSPATH. Maybe it is something in my Java code? My Jave code is an common Java class with only standard Java import statements.

  • Photoshop CS6 and Java. Why?

    After the reality of how Java is a big huge security risk, is old technology, and after Apple dropped it from the default install of Lion—and after it sounded like Adobe removed the dependency of requiring Java Runtime, why or why is my fresh install of Photoshop CS6 requiring Java?
    Why? What does PS need this for?
    Is there any way to install without Java? Any thoughts?
    I'm running a fresh install of Lion on a MBP. Installed Design premium CS6 as a digital download.

    Ah, good to know. Yes, I'm on running the latest version of Lion.
    So from Adobe's perspective, do you download Java, then can you remove it if it's not necessary for CS6? If so, would you know what Java file to look for to remove? (I know Lion installs other framework files for Java, which I don't want to mess with deleting at all.)
    ...or does it not get installed in this process, and this is all a runaround?
    Thank you,
    Michael
