World wide web crawling and gateway

Hi all,We'd like to crawl a world wide web site and open the documents/contents thru the gateway.While we set up the www data source, with the "using gateway" option selected, the portal asks for a web service: which is the correct one? Do we need to create a new one and, if yes, what should we specify in Container URL, Document URL and Upload URL fields?Thanks, Federico

Hi, I would add to Susie, that depending on your Exchange version, as I guess you are at 2007 (as it support 2003x64), you can repair the IIS website easilly.

Do you use that IIS to deliver other website ? or only the OWA ? If only the OWA you can safelly repair it with the Exchange built-in commandshell.
If you tried in the past to remove the IIS, or such manipulation it break deeply Exchange, thus can lead to a buggy IIS. See that link if you tied some manupulation on the IIS (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/320202/en-us)

How do I set up Mozilla to accept connections on port "The World Wide Web service (HTTP)"?

When attempting to embed a video in PowerPoint 2013, the message "Sorry we are having some temporary service issues" appears.
In researching the problem at Microsoft. com, the following message was received: Mozilla is not set up to accept connections on port "The World Wide Web service (HTTP)."

Hmm... PowerPoint should use Windows to connect to the internet and not Firefox.
Which method are you using?

Any info on the World Wide Web Consortium

I kind of stumbled on this site, http://www.w3.org/ & was wondering if anyone had some input. A link from the site, lets you do a check of your website to see if it conforms to the open standards of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and checks for various errors. Here's the link http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
I have three iWeb sites.
1) links directly to my site using web.mac.com/user/site
2) links to my domain name using web forwarding
3) links to my domain name using .mac personal domain
If I put 1 + 2 in the CSS Validator, it says no errors were found & the site conforms to the W3C
If I put site 3, using my domain name as the URL, it says there are errors
If I put the web.mac.com/user/site URL for site 3 it has no errors & says the site conforms to W3C.
So my question is, does any one know if by using .Mac Personal Domain, would it make a difference in how a site would be validated by CSS

The validator just checks to see if there are grammatical errors in the code. Just as in written/spoken human language.
A browser may not understand what is being said. Just as in real life.
Most problems occur in executing the JavaScript.
Also, Firefox cs. have difficulty displaying the shades and mirrors of images. Just because they cannot interpret the JavaScript. W3 cannot check that.
Internet Explorer usually has no idea what a webpage is. Try [this page|http://web.mac.com/wyodor/boxsamples> and [this one|http://web.mac.com/wyodor/hello_world> to get the idea.
My impression is that iWeb is a bit too advanced for some browsers.
Ignoring some minor errors, iWeb pages validate correctly.

World Wide Web Publishing Service Stopping

Hi,
I have Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition R2. The World Wide Web Publishing service keeps stopping randomly, making it impossible for people to access their emails via OWA.
Would anybody know why this would be occurring and how it could be resolved.

Websites over Blogs - The Future of the Net and World Wide Web, Websites over WordPress

Hey there, I have been a blogger for the past six years and frankly it has been getting tired and stale. It’s the same thing day in, day out. Recently a co-worker introduced me to Adobe Muse and I am going back to school to learn web design so I can make my own websites. Don’t get me wrong, blogging is cool but I am tired of blogging now. I want to know if it is more rewarding and more stable to work with websites instead of blogs.
My issue is the updating of websites. I want to be able to make websites about my favourite new movies and music, not to mention TV shows and Caribbean culture. I’ll do three different sites of course as I like to divide and conquer and I hate doing the general thing. I already have a domain name picked out and I would sign up and start doing my websites as early as this evening. I have been positing like crazy on message boards about this but I wanted your take. I know you have done websites before and a co-worker, recently introduced me to Adobe Muse and I am loving the drag and drop features. It’s easy to use and it’s great to use and I am still learning to publish.
What I want to know if how you update blogs without manually pushing down later posts down to a new page or to the bottom of an existing page, because in blogs WordPress does this for you automatically when you publish something new. I know webpage programs vary but what is the general procedure like? Blogs automatically create pages where things are basically archives to an older page with the older posts being there and newer posts appearing at the top of the main page. I really want to do websites again and learning how to create my own sites and all is cool. What I want to know as well is, if I can import my own templates and apply them to my site in Adobe Muse and Adobe Dreamweaver which I have used in the past when it was a Macromedia product.
Also how do I publish my website or publish updated stuff like updated pages and items, etc? Blogs are fun and all but lately it’s just getting tired so with emerging technologies like php and css as well as html5 which are the future is it worth it to create blogs to put your opinions and content out there or work with websites and are most pages out there blogs or regular websites? Which is more profitable? I ask this because while websites are here to stay and have been around first and longer and still going strong blogs are hot and popular. Blogs haven’t been able to topple websites.
Do you have a website or websites for yourself and how has it been, the process and so on? Can you update easily and do you use Adobe Dreamweaver? How is your web publishing and web content experience? What is web content like to you and where do you see your content going in the next five to ten years because while social media like Facebook is hot now, wit may not be hot in the next five to ten years. It may be a trend now that may evaporate in a few years so the next big thing may come along and websites and blogs may hold their own. What is your take?

With the steady stream of emerging web technologies, the web is constantly changing. What worked well for web developers 6 years ago has been replaced by all new programming and design methods. This cycle never stops either. A new trend emerges, remains popular for a while then fizzles out and is replaced by another one. It's impossible to predict what will and won't last. Only time will tell. So professional web developers must keep pace with all new technologies or risk being left behind.
6 years ago almost all web sites were built to support the average desktop/laptop screen. A standard page width of 800 - 1000px was common. Today however, we must cater to a whole new generation of mobile and tablet devices. The one-size-fits-all web site layout is no longer relevant.
Mobile users interact with the web differently than desktop users. They need finger-friendly navigation and forms. They want quick access to less content. And they need pages that fit their device and don't drain their batteries & data plans with gratuitous images, animations & other media files.
On the other hand, a desktop user with a good broadband connection is likely to want more information, greater interactivity and plenty of media-rich content because their device can support it.
Finding a balance between these two polar opposites is just one of the many challenges modern web developers face.
Dreamweaver vs Muse
Dreamweaver is a pro-level web authoring tool aimed at people who care about code. There's no limit to what you can do in DW, providing you have the requisite skills with HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, PHP and MySql databases. DW expects you to know code. If you don't, you'll be very frustrated until you learn code.
Muse is aimed at consumers and designers who know nothing about code. All that drag & drop ease of use is nice but it comes at a price. MU is limited. You cannot use it to build dynamic blogs, shopping carts, or content management systems like WordPress. It won't build mobile phone apps either. MU might be all you need for a static hobby site, but if you need more than that, you won't be able to do it in Muse. More importantly, if you build your site in Muse, be prepared to stick with Muse for the life of your site. The code it generates is almost impossible to work with in any other HTML editor.
Decide what's important for your long-term project goals. Use the right tools for your project.

How i upload a web page named index.html generated by NI Web UI Builder in thin client application on world wide Web

Hello All,
I have an example which use simulated signal with its web service generated by LabVIEW. Then an application of this web service was created using NI web UI builder. And application was build and deployed on NI Cloud Portal, a zip file was downloaded of that project after build and deploying application.
The downloaded file contain a thin client application like :index.html page, readme file etc.
Now problems is this index.html runs easily on http://localhost:8080/appname/index.html or on my computer name like
http://iaa42:8080/appname/index.html web page runs and shows updated values in indicators and graphs but when i use ip address of my system like http://192.168.1.6:8080/appname/index.html , index.html runs but the values in indicator and graphs remains 0 (zero) constantly. how can i get all indicators and graphs updating continously on by using my ip address like same when i use localhost or computer name in url bar. 1st problem is this.
Now 2nd question.
I get a page index.html in a zip file built by NI web UI builder now i want this page to be viewed by every one world wide
where should i upload that code. Should NI Cloud Portal be my hosting server for that web page ? or i have to purchase a domain other than NI cloud portal?
Thanks in Advance
Regards
Waqas

Hi Waqas,
For your first question, my first thoughts turn to your router (which I assume you are using with a 192.168.x.x address). Are you sure you are configuring your ports and firewalls to allow NI services to function? Here is a really good resource on how to check if your ports and firewalls are configured properly:
http://www.ni.com/white-paper/12402/en/
For your second question, when you deploy a web service you are hosting it on your local machine. If you wanted to host it elsewhere (i.e. another server or another domain) you would have to be sure that the server hosting your application has the LabVIEW run-time engine installed.

Google web crawler and iWeb

Is there anything in iWeb created sites that would prevent the Google and other search engines from crawling your site, with the hopes of getting some Google hits? All I've done is register my domain name with Google, but some of the other criteria to get one's site verified, etc seems a bit complicated.

Yes, getting your website indexed, or noticed, by search engines is not difficult. What is difficult is ranking high for the keywords your customers are searching for.
1) Determine what keywords your customers are searching for. You can do this using wordtracker.com or our free keyword research tool for Mac OS X.
2) Add these keywords to your iWeb website. Make sure you are using a standard web font such as Arial, Verdana, Helvetica etc... Otherwise your text will actually be exported as a picture by iWeb and useless to search engines. Also make sure your website is easy to navigate by search engines. See my SEO for iWeb article to learn more about this.
3) Get third party websites to link to you website using the keywords you found in step one. This is difficult to do because you do not control how people link to you, but it is the most effective.

OSX Server - Databasing, world wide web access help

so i have just gotten a new mac mini server and i plan on using it to host my web server. included the actual web server a mysql server a dns server and so on but i figures it would be easyer to just buy OSX Server. well i did and i have the server up just 2 problems first there is no dadabasing server atleat that i could find and second i can only access the web site if in on a local network. now i think it may have something to do with port 80 but i dont know can someone help me thanks

- OS X Server includes the Postgres database system. You could also install MySQL from a 3rd party (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/macosx-installation.html)
- Have you verified that the server is available to the outside world overall? Have you verified your DNS configuration? What type of connection do you have to the internet? Does that connection provide you with a public IP or does it use NAT?

Why can I not buy German songs in the US ? It is called World Wide Web , right ?

I am trying to buy German music in the iTunes store, but it will not let me. Need a German credit card, which seems ridiculous to me since I can buy almost anything else online. I live in the US, and have address in Germany.

Content is licensed by the rights-holders to Apple to sell on a country-by-country basis, each country therefore has to have its own store, and you have to be in a country (and have a billing address in that country on your account) to use its store - rights-holders want control over where their content is available.
You can try requesting that the music be added to the US store, but unless the rights-holders agree to it then Apple won't be able to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
Is it available on other music purchase download sites that you have access to ?

Vocabulary for web design and beyond

Anyone tackling web design will encounter dozens of unfamiliar terms. I have compiled together this glossary to help them. I may update and expand in the future. Until then, feel free to use or pass along.
Some of these terms don’t relate strictly to web design, but also to computer graphics and computer programming generally, as I’ve found that such terms are also important to reading and understanding any tutorials or other materials on web design.
Asynchronous (1) General use. Not synchronous; not occurring or existing at the same time or having the same period or phase. (2) Digital communication. Pertaining to a transmission technique that does not require a common clock between the communicating devices; timing signals are instead derived from special characters in the data stream.
Bitmap image Image that uses geometrical primitives such as points, lines, curves, and shapes, which are all based on mathematical equations. In a bitmap image, each pixel on a display screen is assigned at least one bit to indicate whether the pixel should reflect the background color, the foreground color, or some other color. each pixel in the bitmap might have 16, 24, or 48 bits of information associated with it. The more bits, the greater the resolution of the bitmap – and the larger the file. Compare Vector image.
C (programming language) General-purpose computer programming language developed in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie at the Bell Telephone Laboratories for use with the Unix operating system. It was designed for implementing system software and is also widely used for developing portable application software. C has greatly influenced many other popular programming languages, most notably C++, which began as an extension to C.
C++ Statically typed, free-form, multi-paradigm, compiled, general-purpose programming language. It was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup starting in 1979 at Bell Labs as an enhancement to the C language and originally named C with Classes. It was renamed C++ in 1983.
Cache Component that transparently stores data so that future requests for that data can be served faster. The data that is stored within a cache might be values that have been computed earlier or duplicates of original values that are stored elsewhere. If requested data is contained in the cache (cache hit), this request can be served by simply reading the cache, which is comparatively faster. Otherwise (cache miss), the data has to be recomputed or fetched from its original storage location, which is comparatively slower.
Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) Style sheet language used to describe the presentation semantics (the look and formatting) of a document written in a markup language. Its most common application is to style web pages written in HTML and XHTML, but the language can also be applied to any kind of XML document, including SVG and XUL.
ColdFusion Programming language based on standard HTML that is used to write dynamic webpages. It allows for the creation of pages that differ depending on user input, database lookups, time of day, or other criteria. ColdFusion pages consist of standard HTML tags together with CFML (ColdFusion Markup Language) tags such as <CFQUERY>, <CFIF> and <CFLOOP>. ColdFusion was introduced by Allaire in 1996, acquired by Macromedia in a merger in April 2001, and acquired by Adobe in December 2005.
Compound selector Can be used to combine two or more style rules to create a style definition that displays only when one style is contained within another. Compound styles are useful when you want to do something like use the Heading 1 tag multiple times to format headlines in different ways on the same web page. For example, you could create one style for headlines that appear in the main story area of a page and then create another style for headlines that appear in the sidebar on the page and still use the Heading 1 tag to format both. Compound styles are created by combining ID, class, or tag styles and look like this: #sidebar h1.
Contextual selector A type of Style Sheet Selector that
CRE Loaded Open source online store management and shopping cart system for e-commerce from Chain Reaction eCommerce. It is based on osCommerce, runs on any LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) web server, and is supported by an active international community of users and developers. For a monthly subscription ($10/mo. as of 2011), CRE Loaded allows small and medium-sized merchants to accept credit card payments in a web site that mirrors their own online stores.
CSS See Cascading Style Sheet.
Dynamic HTML (DHTML) Umbrella term for a collection of technologies used together to create interactive and animated web sites by using a combination of a static markup language (such as HTML), a client-side scripting language (such as JavaScript), a presentation definition language (such as CSS), and the Document Object Model. DHTML allows scripting languages to change variables in a web page's definition language, which in turn affects the look and function of otherwise “static” HTML page content, after the page has been fully loaded and during the viewing process.
ECMA International International membership-based non-profit standards organization for information and communication systems.
ECMAScript Scripting language standardized by Ecma International in the ECMA-262 specification and ISO/IEC 16262. The language is widely used for client-side scripting on the web, in the form of several well-known dialects such as JavaScript, JScript, and ActionScript.
Extensible HyperText Markup Language (XHTML) Family of XML markup languages that mirror or extend versions of the widely used HTML, the language in which web pages are written. While HTML (prior to HTML5) was defined as an application of Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), a very flexible markup language framework, XHTML is an application of XML, a more restrictive subset of SGML. Because XHTML documents need to be well-formed, they can be parsed using standard XML parsers—unlike HTML, which requires a lenient HTML-specific parser.
Extensible Markup Language Set of rules for encoding documents in machine-readable form. It is defined in the XML 1.0 Specification produced by the W3C, and several other related specifications, all gratis open standards. Its design goals emphasize simplicity, generality, and usability over the Internet. It is a textual data format with strong support via Unicode for the languages of the world. Known by its acronym XML.
HTML See HyperText Markup Language.
Hypermedia Graphics, audio, video, plain text and hyperlinks that intertwine to create a generally non-linear medium of information. This contrasts with the broader term multimedia, which may be used to describe non-interactive linear presentations as well as hypermedia. The World Wide Web is a classic example of hypermedia, whereas a non-interactive cinema presentation is an example of standard multimedia due to the absence of hyperlinks.
Hypertext Text displayed on a computer or other electronic device with references (hyperlinks) to other text that the reader can immediately access, usually by a mouse click or keypress sequence.
Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) Predominant markup language and basic building-block of webpages. It is written in the form of HTML elements consisting of tags, enclosed in angle brackets (like <html>), within the web page content. HTML tags normally come in pairs like <h1> and </h1>. The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end tag (they are also called opening tags and closing tags). Known by its acronym HTML.
Hypertext preprocessor (PHP) Widely used, general-purpose scripting language that was originally designed for web development to produce dynamic web pages. It brings life to websites by communicating with external data sources, such as databases, news feeds, and XML documents. PHP code is embedded into the HTML source document and interpreted by a web server with a PHP processor module, which generates the web page document. PHP 3 was launched in 1998; PHP 4 was released in 2000; and PHP 5 was released in 2005.
Java Programming language released in 1995 as a core component of Sun Microsystems' Java platform. The language derives much of its syntax from C and C++ but has a simpler object model and fewer low-level facilities. Java applications are typically compiled to bytecode (class file) that can run on any Java Virtual Machine (JVM) regardless of computer architecture. Java is a general-purpose, concurrent, class-based, object-oriented language that is specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is intended to let application developers "write once, run anywhere". Java is currently one of the most popular programming languages in use, and is widely used from application software to web applications.[
JavaScript Implementation of the ECMAScript language standard and is typically used to enable programmatic access to computational objects within a host environment. It can be characterized as a prototype-based object-oriented scripting language that is dynamic, weakly typed and has first-class functions.
JPEG Commonly used method of Lossy compression for digital photography that was named after the Joint Photographic Experts Group, which created the standard. The degree of compression can be adjusted, allowing a selectable tradeoff between storage size and image quality. JPEG typically achieves 10:1 compression with little perceptible loss in image quality.
Linux Family of Unix-like computer operating systems using the Linux kernel (central OS component). Linux can be installed on a wide variety of computer hardware, ranging from mobile phones, tablet computers and video game consoles, to mainframes and supercomputers. The development of Linux is one of the most prominent examples of free and open source software collaboration; typically all the underlying source code can be used, freely modified, and redistributed, both commercially and non-commercially, by anyone under licenses such as the GNU General Public License.
Lossy compression Data encoding method which discards (loses) some of the data, in order to achieve its goal, with the result that decompressing the data yields content that is different from the original, though similar enough to be useful in some way. Lossy compression is most commonly used to compress multimedia data (audio, video, still images), especially in applications such as streaming media and internet telephony. By contrast, lossless compression is required for text and data files, such as bank records, text articles, etc.
MySQL Relational database management system that runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases. The MySQL development project has made its source code available under the terms of the GNU General Public License, as well as under a variety of proprietary agreements. Acronym for “My Structured Query Language.”
Open source Describes practices in production and development that promote access to the end product's source materials. Before the term open source became widely adopted, developers and producers used a variety of phrases to describe the concept; open source gained hold with the rise of the Internet, and the attendant need for massive retooling of the computing source code.
osCommerce Open source Commerce. It allows store owners to setup, run, and maintain their online stores with minimum effort and with no costs involved. Combines open source solutions to provide a free and open development platform, which includes the PHP web scripting language, the Apache web server, and the MySQL database server. With no restrictions or special requirements, osCommerce can be installed on any PHP3 or PHP4 enabled web server, on any environment that PHP and MySQL supports, which includes Linux, Solaris, BSD, and Microsoft Windows environments.
PHP See Hypertext preprocessor.
Rasterization The process of converting a Vector image into a Bitmap image.
Rasterize See Rasterization.
Shopping cart software Software used in e-commerce to assist people making purchases online. The software allows online shopping customers to accumulate a list of items for purchase. Upon checkout, the software typically calculates a total for the order, including shipping and handling (i.e. postage and packing) charges and the associated taxes.
Style sheet selector One of the two parts of a CSS rule (the other being the properties, or declaration block) that declares which of the markup elements a style applies to. Selectors may apply to all elements of a specific type, or only those elements that match a certain attribute (e.g., how they are placed relative to each other in the markup code, or on how they are nested within the document object model). There are many types of style sheet selectors: element selectors, which select by element name; class selectors, which select by class name; contextual selectors, which select by context based on parent elements (what the element is nested within or what precedes it in the document), etc..
Supercomputer Computer that is at the frontline of current processing capacity, particularly speed of calculation. Supercomputers are typically one-of-a-kind custom designs produced by companies such as Cray, IBM and Hewlett-Packard, who had purchased many of the 1980s companies to gain their experience. Since October 2010, the Tianhe-1A supercomputer, located in China, has been the fastest in the world.
Tag Non-hierarchical keyword or term assigned to a piece of information (such as an Internet bookmark, digital image, or computer file). This kind of metadata helps describe an item and allows it to be found again by browsing or searching. Tags are generally chosen informally and personally by the item's creator or by its viewer, depending on the system. HTML tags include paragraph, heading 1, heading 2, etc.
Unix Computer operating system originally developed in 1969 by a group of AT&T employees at Bell Labs. The Unix operating system was first developed in assembly, which is machine-dependent and a low-level programming language. Ken Thompson created the B language in 1969 and Unix was written in the B language, a high-level programming language. The first Unix system written in C was released in November 1973.
Vector image Image made up of numerous individual, scalable objects. These objects are defined by mathematical equations rather than pixels, so they always render at the highest quality. Objects may consist of lines, curves, and shapes with editable attributes such as color, fill, and outline. Changing the attributes of a vector object does not effect the object itself. Compare Bitmap image.
Vector processor Central processing unit (CPU) that implements an instruction set containing instructions that operate on one-dimensional arrays of data called vectors. This is in contrast to a scalar processor, whose instructions operate on single data items. Also known as array processor.
Web analytics Measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of internet data, including the number of visitors and page views, for understanding and optimizing web usage. It can be used as a tool for measuring website traffic and for business and market research. Web analytics applications can also help companies measure the results of traditional print advertising campaigns. It helps one to estimate how the traffic to the website changed after the launch of a new advertising campaign.
Web design Design of the way that content is delivered to an end-user through the World Wide Web, using a web browser or other web-enabled software.
Web development Refers to the work involved in developing a web site for the Internet (World Wide Web) or an intranet (a private network). This can include Web design, web content development, client liaison, client-side/server-side scripting, web server and network security configuration, and e-commerce development. However, among web professionals, "web development" usually refers to the main non-design aspects of building web sites: writing markup and coding. Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, or social network services.
World Wide Web Consortium Main international standards organization for the World Wide Web. It is made up of member organizations which maintain full-time staff for the purpose of working together in the development of standards for the World Wide Web. Known by its acronym W3C.
XHTML See Extensible HyperText Markup Language.
XML See Extensible Markup Language.
Zend Engine Open source scripting engine (a Virtual Machine) commonly known for the important role it plays in the web automation language PHP.

Thanks for posting this!
I would only mention that your definition is incomplete for this -
Contextual selector A type of Style Sheet Selector that
and that it's most often referred to now as a Descendent selector, not a contextual selector. It's basically the same as the Compound selector that you have already defined....

How relevant is Java Applet technology in 2006 for wide web deployment?

How relevant is Java Applet technology in 2006 for wide web deployment?
I'm developing a website which requires deployment Internationally to as many users as possible. Many people advise to stay away from Java applets, others say only use Java 1.1 (AWT limitation), some say use Flash, others say stay away from applets and plugins altogether.
Of course it depends on the content. I have interactive 3D content currently powered by Java 1.1 applet BUT I have been using Swing to introduce custom GUI functionality but which I know may limit compatibility. I'm torn by this whole debate and what impact it will have on the relevancy of my website.
How many users out there have browsers that will cope with my content?
Then there's the issue of all the various different browsers nowadays. I'm testing for IE and Netscape on Windows platform, but what about other browsers and OSes on other platforms? I notice that some websites have a page with tables to show users what browser is and is not compatible with their web content. How far must a web developer go to test all these things exhaustively?
Then there's the issue of a 16MB download for the latest Java plugin if a user's system is not up to date. Can all modern browsers handle Java even with the latest Java download?
Or should I just tell the user to get a compatible browser? Another 10-20MB download, depending.
Or how about Flash? That reportedly has a vast International deployment base, but do I need to pay for a Flash editor / IDE / compiler? So far I've been using freeware (HTML, Java, NetBeans, PHP, MySQL, PNG images) to achieve excellent results within my ludicrously limited budget. The Flash Player is only a 930KB download, and that is quite user friendly even if I must tell a user to get the latest version � only 2 minutes download on a 56K modem or about 15 seconds on DSL followed by a 2 second really easy install.
Look here to see where Java ranks against Flash and others :

I know Java. I use it for apps and now applets. I get it to communicate with my server's PHP and MySQL. It works well on my machine, but will my applets work for millions of users world wide with few technical problems? Looking through Java forums I see developers struggling with Java Applets in Safari on OSX but not on Windows. Then another has problems with Applets in IE on Windows but not on Netscape. Then one browser struggles with key events . . . it's like a mine field out there and I'm struggling for clear direction.
Microsoft's support for Java has been poor. If I depend on Java Applets now and for the next year, then will they still be supported 3 or 5 years from now? Or will I have to write off this investment in Java development effort and then switch to something else? Or switch to something else now?
Does Sun Microsystems somewhere reveal how ubiquitous their JVM deployment is?
Perhaps I'm totally misinformed, but Java Applets seem to be dying out. I'd really love to hear from other active web developers out there doing stuff for wide deployment to mass markets.

Since my zwebsite is already using Java 1.1 for 3D visualization I've decided to standardize on Java 1.1 to gain maximum browser compatibility. To add another technology like Flash at this point may just complicate matters, especially for me.
I'm now converting my Swing GUI to AWT. It wastes a lot of time, but the effort should be worth it in terms of the deployment success rate - in theory at least :-)
Just imagine if Java 1 had Swing . . . dream on!
In the deployment stats noted in my first post on this thread they state that Java has 86% world wide desktop deployment. Problem is that I bet that figure only relates to Java1. I wonder what pathetic percentage is true for Java2?
Regarding the use of Java for content rich dynamic content for world world wide web browser deployment . . . I'm rather disillusioned at this point. It seems for this application Java is stuck indefinitely at Java1 and the cool things they developed after that cannot be used effectively. Please note that I am ONLY referring to wide browser deployment. For stand-alone apps and targeted web deployment (where you can reasonably expect your user to upgrade his/her system for a good reason) Java is still very cool.
As for Java WebStart: I can see the uses for it, but it just does not fit into the browser application where the general public enter your web pages and see cool content inside the essential context of your webpage. This last point is vital for any serious web site. If the object of the site is to deploy a useful app to the user (like a forex trading front-end with GUI) then use Java WebStart by all means.
After this website, I'll invest in Flash. I'm sure Flash is not without its share of issues, but it has 97% deployment of nearly the latest versions and user download/upgrade is under 1MB. On top of that it does not seem to suffer from corporate relationship woes like those between Sun and Microsoft.
After all, Flash is labelled as a 'player' and not a Virtual Machine. Mass users out there want to play rather than know about complex and bulky IT stuff.

RDS and Gateway issues: Cannot get remoteapps to run without opening port 3389 on firewall

I am testing the setup of a small RDweb server to host QuickBooks for some remote sales users (4 users). For the most part, I have everything installed on one virtual server (using 2012r2 "Quick Start" session host deployment with the additional
Licensing and Gateway server roles added to the same server).
Everything works excellent with one exception. External clients cannot launch published apps without having port 3389 open on the firewall, even with the gateway role installed and the 'Deployment Properties' set to use the gateway. They can properly connect
to the RDweb site and view the published apps. The only way it works is open the firewall port (at which time I can disable the gateway or leave it configured and it works either way). Internally, everything works accordingly. I have followed the steps outlined
on many sites and have combed though the forum here to no avail.
Error received (summarized but is a well documented error):
remote desktop can't connect to the remote computer: 1- Your user account is not listed (it actually is) or 2- You might have specified the remote computer in NetBios format . . etc.
This is an existing SBS 2011 environment with additional virtual servers setup to host QuickBooks as outlined below:
Current setup:
Used Quick Start to install Remote Desktop Services in hosted sessions mode
Installed the additional roles for Licensing and Gateway server on same server
Configured wild card public certificates on all four services (Connection Broker(2), Web Access and Gateway)
Configured internal DNS to properly lookup our external FQDN of this server (ex. quickbooks.contoso.com points to quickbooks.contoso.local
One thing I noticed (just now) when I launch a published app and the firewall has port 3389 closed, a dialog box pops up directly after launching the app that warns about running a RemoteApp program and mentions the Remote Computer and the Gateway Server
as both the same (which it is); however, I would have assumed one would have listed the internal server's name while, instead, both are listed as the external FQDN. Either way, internal DNS should still allow it to properly route . . no? I don't know . . I'm
sure I am just missing something in a routing configurations somewhere. The gateway service is not properly looking up the RDweb service and then seeming not routing the encapsulated RDP session through HTTPS. . .. is my guess . .
I was reading about the "set published name" commandlet; however, I am not experiencing a certificate name mismatch; however, the certificate name does show up as *.contoso.com versus the actual name. I may just be grasping as straws now . . :)

Ok, while I was in the server and looking over the BPA scans: "The Remote Desktop Gateway (RD Gateway) server Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate may not have a valid certificate subject name." This may be due to it showing up as *.companyname.com
versus quickbooks.companyname.com. Anyhow. .. on to the list of actions above:
Changed RD RAP from "Select Active Directory" group to "Allow any network resource" and tested with port 3389 closed on firewall:
Worked. Initially it did not as I had used a custom shortcut created from earlier; however, after logging into the RDweb site again, the application loaded fine now (after the RD RAP change)
No error message appeared; however, I did notice that for a split second, the word Error did appear in the browser's tab title, but only very shortly. The app launch does take a bit longer too now (about 10-15 seconds, up from about 4 seconds with the port
open). This, I could care less about so long as we are properly forwarding the traffic through the gateway.
As for log entries, I had spend quite a bit of time in there and only had minor issues with loading user profile setting taking too long and policy settings preventing the redirection of USB devices. Looking again, no issues still. Just a bunch of informational
entries where I would connect before (and disconnect) but only with the port on the firewall open; otherwise, there was not an entry corrolating to when I would receive an error before. Now though, I am connecting after the RD RAP change and logs are showing
connections even with the port closed. These are in "operational", the "admin" log only shows the update to the RD RAP configuration.
Yes, the LAN's DNS server does relay the lookup information for my public FQDN as the local LAN address. No need for a local host record.
I have now added a new rule in our firewall to allow and forward UDP port 3391 traffic to the internal server hosting remote services
Thank you very much for your assistance on this matter. The RD RAP rule was default built during the creation of this services. Why is the resource not cross-referencing AD security groups? I could have sworn I created a group for that . . .

IProcurement World wide usage?

I am looking for some implementation information and perhaps some best practice sharing on a roll out of iProcurement under one Oracle instance (ERP, but enabled via catalog and non-catalog purchasing on a world wide (US, AP and EU) basis.
We are in the process of driving this effort and are looking for information on how your company got to the point of a world wide roll out, either "big bang" approach or "phase" roll-out.

Creating a Web Crawler

Hi! I have a question. I've already created a web crawler and I used a web data source for it. How can I check what data source my crawler is connected to? I forgot what data source my crawler is using. Thanks.

If you're able to, the quickest way may be to look in the database at the DATASOURCEID column in the appropriate row in the PTCRAWLERS table, or "select ds.NAME from PTDATASOURCES ds, PTCRAWLERS cr where cr.DATASOURCEID = ds.OBJECTID and cr.OBJECTID = <yourcrawlerid>"
