Xorg settings not persistent

Just did a fresh install of ArchLinux, got everything setup how I'd like, and then started fiddling with getting my displays configured. I knew it would be a chore since one of my displays reports corrupted EDID information, which throws everything out of whack.
Anyways, I sorted everything out, I have 3 monitors on a single X Screen, and then a TV as a separate X screen. Below is my (convoluted) Xorg.conf:

The configuration is as follows:
To the left of my computing setup I have the TV, as it's own display. For my computing setup I have a Dell U2410h on the left and right sides of my Yamakasi Catleap Q270 (the problem child). No matter what I do I can't get Xorg to assign or reference each display as its own separate monitor section. So, to solve this, I jumbled the U2410h's and the Yamakasi Catleap into a single Monitor section by providing the ModeLines for the displays manually, and adjusting the sync values appropriately. The U2410h's have scaler chips in them, so if they have an improper resolution set, it's not a big deal as it just gets scaled. The Yamakasi on the other hand has no scaler, and therefore REQUIRES an exact 2560x1440. Somehow it manages to sometimes work with 640x480. That said, every time I restart xorg (or my system) I return to no video on the Yamakasi and 1024x768 on the U2410h's. I can then use the nvidia-settings application or xrandr to change the screens to their appropriate resolution, but this is undesirable. I should also note that LightDM appears to handle the screens correctly, but as soon as I log in to Gnome3, things are broken.
Anyways, any ideas on what could cause this behavior?
For now it's not a big deal since I won't need to restart my system for some time, but it would be nice to rectify.

@IBMweMissU,
I just did the following update on my system.
Power Manager 3.62
On Screen Display 6.42
Synaptics 15.3.8.0
UtraNav Utility 2.13
Reboot several and shutdown several times and touchpad stays disabled.
Synaptics driver should be 15.3.8.0 now.

  • Backlight timer settings not persistent

    • Since updating my 5G iPod w. Video to software version 1.2 my backlight timer setting reverts to 'Always On', every time I dock it in the iPod Hi-Fi powered speaker's dock, after it (the iPod) has just been synced to my Mac.
    I prefer a 2 second or 5 second lag for the display, so having to go into the iPod's settings and setting this back the way I like it every day is getting old. Fast.
    • Also, under the same circumstances (sync, then dock in iPod Hi-Fi) the Speaker settings will revert to 'While Playing'. I prefer 'On Keypress'. Have to set that one back to my preference every day too.
    Just taking the iPod (5G, not 5.5) out of the Hi-Fi's dock and putting it back in doesn't mangle my preferences. Putting it in after syncing does. Every time...

    This particular issue was solved with software update 1.2.1.
    • At least one other thing wasn't solved, however. Say your playing a video, or video podcast. You decide you want to play some music, maybe come back to the video later, so you press the 'menu' part of the scroll wheel. Now the "backlight timer" setting will be set to "always on" even while playing music. I guess the iPod will turn the "always on" off when you play a video to its conclusion, or maybe even if you hit the FFWD on the scrollwheel. It looks like what needed to happen when a user exits out of a video by hitting the "menu" part of the wheel wasn't fully thought through...
    Other issues I had that may or may not still be outstanding:
    • Once in a while (using iPod software 1.2) my Apple Radio Remote would become partly unresponsive. I would be able to pause music, but not be able to skip to the beginning of a song, or to the next one. Fiddling with the hold switch would not solve the issue, unplugging the remote and plugging it back in would. Happened a couple of times since 1.2 has been out.
    • I tried two different Xtrememac MicroMemo's (didn't buy because of noise issues). Around 1 times in four or five, the iPod would throw up an error message about the MicroMemo being incompatible or unrecognized. Can't recall the exact wording. Of course this is Xtrememac's issue as much as it is Apple's.

  • UltraNav settings not persistent

    I recently bought an X220 Core i7 8GB. Love it, btw, no other problems.
    I am an old time Thinkpad user, very used to the trackpoint, and hate the touchpad.
    It gets in my way if enabled, so I go the UltraNav settings and disable the Touchpad.
    However, every time I reboot, the **bleep** touchpad is alive again.
    Any way to permanently disable the touchpad? I would prefer not to disable via BiOS,
    as once in a while my wife/daughter need to use the touchpad.
    Thanks in advance.

  • User profile images not persisting after log off on Server 2012 R2 RDS Session Hosts

    Hi,
    We have a 2012 R2 remote desktop deployment, with two session collections, a gateway server, and connection broker.
    We have set these session collections to use centralised user profile disks.
    What I am having an issue with, is that when a user sets their profile image through the server they have logged on to (I have the desktop experience pack installed so they are able to do this), they can see the user tile has been set with that image in
    settings and also on the start menu, but as soon as they log off the server and back on, their profile image has been reset to the default blank image.
    I have checked all of my group policy options, and cannot find any settings that could be impacting this.
    Does anyone have any ideas why these images are not persisting for users or admins?
    Thanks, Eds

    Please check that the user is not getting a temporary profile each time he logs in. Also, make sure that the RDP client is properly configured to display the Wallpaper: http://www.webapper.com/blog/index.php/2007/10/18/enabling-desktop-wallpaper-on-remote-desktop-terminal-services/

  • FrameMaker 10 tagged PDF settings not saved

    When I need to output a book as a tagged PDF more than once, I find that I have to reenter the settings for Included Paragraphs and Logical Stucture Level every single time, unlike my Bookmark settings, which are preserved.
    This is true regardless of whether I'm using the Save As or Print route to PDF. This was not the case last year, when I was still using v7.2.
    Is there some trick to make these settings stick?
    (Version 10.0.2.419 on Windows 7)

    Thanks. That worked.
    I knew these were document level settings, but today I learned that:
    Changing these settings at the book level is not persistant.
    The first file defines them for the entire book.

  • Setting MTU why Not Persistent

    I have had ongoing problems with sending email on all macs in our household (One desktop with OS 10.4.11; three macbooks with 10.5)I adjusted the MTU on Terminal to 1600 and I was briefly able to send. On start up settings reverted to 1500 (discussion article stated setting is not persistent and must be re set on every start up). My question is two-fold: I am now unable to get Terminal to accept my password-nothing types in -why and how to resolveand; is there any way to set MTU to desired MTU on start up similar to following article for OS 10.2? http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107474
    Thank you

    ??
    1500 is the largest possible value. You can't use a value higher than that. If you entered a value of 1600 in the terminal you were probably using a value of 100.
    Usually people suffering from problems caused by MTU find relief using values of 1490 or even 1492.

  • Lock of choice boot disk is not persistent

    Good evening,
    I want to lock the system preferences start to ensure that the iMac does not seek a boot disk on USB devices.
    So I select the internal disk OS X and locks the settings by clicking on the padlock.
    While I don't shutdown the iMac, the lock remains closed.
    But each time I restart the iMac, I noticed that the lock is open again for the preference of the startup disk.
    Is this normal?
    Why this configuration is not persistent between restarts?
    (Contrary to other locks them securely locked remaining)
    I forgot something?
    Thank you for your help.
    ps: I also did a PRAM reset, without success.

  • EJB 3.0 - JSF APPLICATION: DATA DOES NOT PERSIST TO THE DATABASE

    Hi,
    I am developing a JSF - EJB application and the data that I send from JSP Page through JSF Managed Bean --> Session Bean --> Java Persistence does not persist in database.
    Here is my scenario ( Iam using JDeveloper IDE to create this application) -
    SCENARIO START
    The scenario consists of two web pages, one enlisting all the users stored in the database, the other contains a form for adding a user
    1.) INDEX.JSP
    2.) ADDUSER.JSP
    Step 1: Create the USERS Table in database
    CREATE TABLE users
    user_id serial,
    username varchar(255) NOT NULL,
    first_name varchar(255),
    last_name varchar(255),
    password char(64) NOT NULL,
    CONSTRAINT pk_users PRIMARY KEY (user_id)
    Step 2: Add Database Connection To JDeveloper
    Go to Database Connection Navigator and create a New Database Connection using the Wizard
    Step 3: Create a New Application in JDeveloper and select JSF, EJB from Application Template
    Step 4: ENTITY BEAN - In the EJB Node Right Click and Select EJB à New Entites from Table (JPA/EJB3.0)
    Use The Wizard and create Entity Bean from Users Table which creates an Entity Bea POJO file as follows –
    User.java -
    package lux.domain;
    import java.io.Serializable;
    import javax.persistence.Column;
    import javax.persistence.Entity;
    import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
    import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
    import javax.persistence.Id;
    import javax.persistence.NamedQuery;
    import javax.persistence.SequenceGenerator;
    import javax.persistence.Table;
    @Entity
    @NamedQuery(name = "User.findAll", query = "select o from User o")
    @Table(name = "USERS")
    public class User implements Serializable {
    @Column(name="FIRST_NAME")
    private String firstName;
    @Column(name="LAST_NAME")
    private String lastName;
    @Column(nullable = false)
    private String password;
    @Column(nullable = false)
    private String username;
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.SEQUENCE, generator="users_seq_generator")
    @SequenceGenerator(name="users_seq_generator", sequenceName="users_user_id_seq")
    @Column(name="USER_ID", nullable = false)
    private Long userId;
    public User() {
    public String getFirstName() {
    return firstName;
    public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
    this.firstName = firstName;
    public String getLastName() {
    return lastName;
    public void setLastName(String lastName) {
    this.lastName = lastName;
    public String getPassword() {
    return password;
    public void setPassword(String password) {
    this.password = password;
    public String getUsername() {
    return username;
    public void setUsername(String username) {
    this.username = username;
    public Long getUserId() {
    return userId;
    public void setUserId(Long userId) {
    this.userId = userId;
    Step 5: STATELESS SESSION BEAN - In the EJB Node Right Click and Select EJB à New Entites from Table (JPA/EJB3.0)
    Again Right Click on Model and create Session Bean from Wizard which creates two files –
    UserDAOBean.java – Stateless Session Bean
    UserDAO.java – Local Interface
    package lux.facade;
    import java.security.MessageDigest;
    import java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException;
    import java.util.List;
    import java.util.logging.Level;
    import java.util.logging.Logger;
    import javax.ejb.Stateless;
    import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
    import javax.persistence.PersistenceContext;
    import javax.persistence.Query;
    import lux.domain.User;
    @Stateless(name="UserDAO")
    public class UserDAOBean implements UserDAO {
    @PersistenceContext(unitName="Model")
    private EntityManager em;
    public UserDAOBean() {
    public User getUser(int UserId) {
    User u = new User();
    u = em.find(User.class, UserId);
    return u;
    public List<User> getAllUsers() {
    Query q = em.createQuery("SELECT u FROM User u");
    List<User> users = q.getResultList();
    return users;
    public void createUser(User u) {
    String hashedPw = hashPassword(u.getPassword());
    u.setPassword(hashedPw);
    em.persist(u);
    public void updateUser(User u) {
    String hashedPw = hashPassword(u.getPassword());
    u.setPassword(hashedPw);
    em.merge(u);
    public void deleteUser(User u) {
    em.remove(u);
    private String hashPassword(String password) {
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    try {
    MessageDigest messageDigest = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA");
    byte[] bs;
    bs = messageDigest.digest(password.getBytes());
    for (int i = 0; i < bs.length; i++) {
    String hexVal = Integer.toHexString(0xFF & bs);
    if (hexVal.length() == 1) {
    sb.append("0");
    sb.append(hexVal);
    } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException ex) {
    Logger.getLogger(UserDAOBean.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    return sb.toString();
    Step 6: Create a Deployment file in the Model and Deploy this to a JAR file
    Step 7: Now Right Click on View/Controller Node and create a Java File –
    UserController.java -
    package lux.controllers;
    import javax.ejb.EJB;
    import javax.faces.model.DataModel;
    import javax.faces.model.ListDataModel;
    import lux.domain.User;
    import lux.facade.UserDAO;
    public class UserController {
    @EJB UserDAO userDao;
    private User user;
    private DataModel model;
    public String createUser() {
    this.user = new User();
    return "create_new_user";
    public String saveUser() {
    String r = "success";
    try {
    userDao.createUser(user);
    } catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    r = "failed";
    return r;
    public DataModel getUsers() {
    model = new ListDataModel(userDao.getAllUsers());
    return model;
    public User getUser() {
    return user;
    public void setUser(User user) {
    this.user = user;
    Step 8: Configure page flow in faces-config.xml
    1. Create the JSP file adduser.jsp by right-clicking View-Controller
    node and selecting New > JSP. Use the wizard to create JSF – JSP Page, fill in
    File Name adduser.jsp, click Finish. -

    value="Save"/>
    </h:panelGrid>
    </h:form>
    </f:view>
    </body>
    </html>
    2. Repeat the previous step for another JSP file failed.jsp.
    3. On failed.jsp add the string
    Save failed
    Next we configure the page flow.
    1. Open faces-config.xml.
    2. Create index.jsp -
    <%@page contentType="text/html"%>
    <%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
    <%@taglib prefix="f" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"%>

    </html>
    3. Drag an arrow from index.jsp to adduser.jsp and replace the arrow’s label to create_new_user.
    4. Repeat the previous step for failed, by dragging and arrow from adduser.jsp to failed.jsp renaming the label to f
    ailed
    5. Finally repeat the step for adduser.jsp, by dragging from adduser.jsp to index.jsp renaming the label to success.
    This creates the following faces-config.xml file –

    Step 9: Create a Deployment file in the View-Controller and Deploy this to a WAR file
    Step 10: Create a Deployment file in the View-Controller and create an EAR file and add Model’s JAR and View-Controller’s
    WAR files to it.
    Step 11: Run the JSP Files
    SCENARIO END
    Now, When I execute Index.jsp, it does not list values from database and when I click on Create User link, it takes me to adduser.jsp page. When I fill values in this page and click Save button, it takes me to Save Failed page and data does not persist to the database.
    WHAT IS WRONG OUT HERE ???

    If you set a breakpoint in your createUser method - does this code get executed?
    We have a couple of tutorials that might show you how to do this.

  • JSF - EJB 3.0 Application - Data does not persist to the database

    Hi,
    I am developing a JSF - EJB application and the data that I send from JSP Page through JSF Managed Bean --> Session Bean --> Java Persistence does not persist in database.
    Here is my scenario ( Iam using JDeveloper IDE to create this application) -
    ------------------------------------------------------- SCENARIO START
    The scenario consists of two web pages, one enlisting all the users stored in the database, the other contains a form for adding a user
    1.) INDEX.JSP
    2.) ADDUSER.JSP
    Step 1: Create the USERS Table in database
    CREATE TABLE users
    user_id serial,
    username varchar(255) NOT NULL,
    first_name varchar(255),
    last_name varchar(255),
    password char(64) NOT NULL,
    CONSTRAINT pk_users PRIMARY KEY (user_id)
    Step 2: Add Database Connection To JDeveloper
    Go to Database Connection Navigator and create a New Database Connection using the Wizard
    Step 3: Create a New Application in JDeveloper and select JSF, EJB from Application Template
    Step 4: ENTITY BEAN - In the EJB Node Right Click and Select EJB � New Entites from Table (JPA/EJB3.0)
    Use The Wizard and create Entity Bean from Users Table which creates an Entity Bea POJO file as follows �
    User.java -
    package lux.domain;
    import java.io.Serializable;
    import javax.persistence.Column;
    import javax.persistence.Entity;
    import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
    import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
    import javax.persistence.Id;
    import javax.persistence.NamedQuery;
    import javax.persistence.SequenceGenerator;
    import javax.persistence.Table;
    @Entity
    @NamedQuery(name = "User.findAll", query = "select o from User o")
    @Table(name = "USERS")
    public class User implements Serializable {
    @Column(name="FIRST_NAME")
    private String firstName;
    @Column(name="LAST_NAME")
    private String lastName;
    @Column(nullable = false)
    private String password;
    @Column(nullable = false)
    private String username;
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.SEQUENCE, generator="users_seq_generator")
    @SequenceGenerator(name="users_seq_generator", sequenceName="users_user_id_seq")
    @Column(name="USER_ID", nullable = false)
    private Long userId;
    public User() {
    public String getFirstName() {
    return firstName;
    public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
    this.firstName = firstName;
    public String getLastName() {
    return lastName;
    public void setLastName(String lastName) {
    this.lastName = lastName;
    public String getPassword() {
    return password;
    public void setPassword(String password) {
    this.password = password;
    public String getUsername() {
    return username;
    public void setUsername(String username) {
    this.username = username;
    public Long getUserId() {
    return userId;
    public void setUserId(Long userId) {
    this.userId = userId;
    Step 5: STATELESS SESSION BEAN - In the EJB Node Right Click and Select EJB � New Entites from Table (JPA/EJB3.0)
    Again Right Click on Model and create Session Bean from Wizard which creates two files �
    UserDAOBean.java � Stateless Session Bean
    UserDAO.java � Local Interface
    package lux.facade;
    import java.security.MessageDigest;
    import java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException;
    import java.util.List;
    import java.util.logging.Level;
    import java.util.logging.Logger;
    import javax.ejb.Stateless;
    import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
    import javax.persistence.PersistenceContext;
    import javax.persistence.Query;
    import lux.domain.User;
    @Stateless(name="UserDAO")
    public class UserDAOBean implements UserDAO {
    @PersistenceContext(unitName="Model")
    private EntityManager em;
    public UserDAOBean() {
    public User getUser(int UserId) {
    User u = new User();
    u = em.find(User.class, UserId);
    return u;
    public List<User> getAllUsers() {
    Query q = em.createQuery("SELECT u FROM User u");
    List<User> users = q.getResultList();
    return users;
    public void createUser(User u) {
    String hashedPw = hashPassword(u.getPassword());
    u.setPassword(hashedPw);
    em.persist(u);
    public void updateUser(User u) {
    String hashedPw = hashPassword(u.getPassword());
    u.setPassword(hashedPw);
    em.merge(u);
    public void deleteUser(User u) {
    em.remove(u);
    private String hashPassword(String password) {
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    try {
    MessageDigest messageDigest = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA");
    byte[] bs;
    bs = messageDigest.digest(password.getBytes());
    for (int i = 0; i < bs.length; i++) {
    String hexVal = Integer.toHexString(0xFF & bs);
    if (hexVal.length() == 1) {
    sb.append("0");
    sb.append(hexVal);
    } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException ex) {
    Logger.getLogger(UserDAOBean.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    return sb.toString();
    Step 6: Create a Deployment file in the Model and Deploy this to a JAR file
    Step 7: Now Right Click on View/Controller Node and create a Java File �
    UserController.java -
    package lux.controllers;
    import javax.ejb.EJB;
    import javax.faces.model.DataModel;
    import javax.faces.model.ListDataModel;
    import lux.domain.User;
    import lux.facade.UserDAO;
    public class UserController {
    @EJB UserDAO userDao;
    private User user;
    private DataModel model;
    public String createUser() {
    this.user = new User();
    return "create_new_user";
    public String saveUser() {
    String r = "success";
    try {
    userDao.createUser(user);
    } catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    r = "failed";
    return r;
    public DataModel getUsers() {
    model = new ListDataModel(userDao.getAllUsers());
    return model;
    public User getUser() {
    return user;
    public void setUser(User user) {
    this.user = user;
    Step 8: Configure page flow in faces-config.xml
    1. Create the JSP file adduser.jsp by right-clicking View-Controller
    node and selecting New > JSP. Use the wizard to create JSF � JSP Page, fill in
    File Name adduser.jsp, click Finish. -
    <%@page contentType="text/html"%>
    <%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>

    </h:form>
    </f:view>
    </body>
    </html>
    2. Repeat the previous step for another JSP file failed.jsp.
    3. On failed.jsp add the string <h2>Save failed</h2>.
    Next we configure the page flow.
    1. Open faces-config.xml.
    2. Create index.jsp -
    <%@page contentType="text/html"%>

    </h:column>
    </h:dataTable>
    </h:form>
    </f:view>
    </body>
    </html>
    3. Drag an arrow from index.jsp to adduser.jsp and replace the arrow�s label to create_new_user.
    4. Repeat the previous step for failed, by dragging and arrow from adduser.jsp to failed.jsp renaming the label to f
    ailed
    5. Finally repeat the step for adduser.jsp, by dragging from adduser.jsp to index.jsp renaming the label to success.
    This creates the following faces-config.xml file �

    node and selecting New > JSP. Use the wizard to create JSF � JSP Page, fill in
    File Name adduser.jsp, click Finish. -
    <%@page contentType="text/html"%>
    <%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
    <%@taglib prefix="f" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"%>
    <%@taglib prefix="h" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"%>
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
    <html>
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
    <title>New user</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <f:view>
    <h:form>
    <h:messages/>
    <h:panelGrid columns="2">
    <h:outputText value="Username"/>
    <h:inputText
    id="Username"
    value="#{user.user.username}"
    required="true"/>
    <h:outputText value="First name"/>
    <h:inputText
    id="FirstName"
    value="#{user.user.firstName}" />
    <h:outputText value="Last name"/>
    <h:inputText
    id="LastName"
    value="#{user.user.lastName}" />
    <h:outputText value="Password" />
    <h:inputSecret
    id="Password"
    value="#{user.user.password}"
    required="true" />
    <h:panelGroup/>
    <h:commandButton
    action="#{user.saveUser}"
    value="Save"/>
    </h:panelGrid>
    </h:form>
    </f:view>
    </body>
    </html>
    2. Repeat the previous step for another JSP file failed.jsp.
    3. On failed.jsp add the string
    Save failed
    Next we configure the page flow.
    1. Open faces-config.xml.
    2. Create index.jsp -
    <%@page contentType="text/html"%>
    <%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
    <%@taglib prefix="f" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"%>
    <%@taglib prefix="h" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"%>
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
    <html>
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
    <title>User Listing</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <f:view>
    <h:form>
    <h:outputText value="User Listing"/>
    <h:commandLink action="#{user.createUser}" value="Create a user"/>
    <h:dataTable value="#{user.user}"
    var="dataTableItem" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">
    <h:column>
    <f:facet name="header">
    <h:outputText value="Username"/>
    </f:facet>
    <h:outputText value="#{dataTableItem.username}" />
    </h:column>
    <h:column>
    <f:facet name="header">
    <h:outputText value="First name"/>
    </f:facet>
    <h:outputText value="#{dataTableItem.firstName}" />
    </h:column>
    <h:column>
    <f:facet name="header">
    <h:outputText value="Last name"/>
    </f:facet>
    <h:outputText value="#{dataTableItem.lastName}" />
    </h:column>
    </h:dataTable>
    </h:form>
    </f:view>
    </body>
    </html>
    3. Drag an arrow from index.jsp to adduser.jsp and replace the arrow�s label to create_new_user.
    4. Repeat the previous step for failed, by dragging and arrow from adduser.jsp to failed.jsp renaming the label to f
    ailed
    5. Finally repeat the step for adduser.jsp, by dragging from adduser.jsp to index.jsp renaming the label to success.
    This creates the following faces-config.xml file �
    <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
    <faces-config>
    <managed-bean>
    <managed-bean-name>user</managed-bean-name>
    <managed-bean-class>lux.controllers.UserController</managed-bean-class>
    <managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
    <managed-property>
    <property-name>username</property-name>
    <value>#{username}</value>
    </managed-property>
    <managed-property>
    <property-name>firstName</property-name>
    <value>#{firstName}</value>
    </managed-property>
    <managed-property>
    <property-name>lastName</property-name>
    <value>#{lastName}</value>
    </managed-property>
    <managed-property>
    <property-name>password</property-name>
    <value>#{password}</value>
    </managed-property>
    </managed-bean>
    <navigation-rule>
    <from-view-id>/index.jsp</from-view-id>
    <navigation-case>
    <from-outcome>create_new_user</from-outcome>
    <to-view-id>/adduser.jsp</to-view-id>
    </navigation-case>
    </navigation-rule>
    <navigation-rule>
    <from-view-id>/adduser.jsp</from-view-id>
    <navigation-case>
    <from-outcome>failed</from-outcome>
    <to-view-id>/failed.jsp</to-view-id>
    </navigation-case>
    <navigation-case>
    <from-outcome>success</from-outcome>
    <to-view-id>/index.jsp</to-view-id>
    </navigation-case>
    </navigation-rule>
    </faces-config>
    Step 9: Create a Deployment file in the View-Controller and Deploy this to a WAR file
    Step 10: Create a Deployment file in the View-Controller and create an EAR file and add Model�s JAR and View-Controller�s
    WAR files to it.
    Step 11: Run the JSP Files
    SCENARIO END
    Now, When I execute Index.jsp, it does not list values from database and when I click on Create User link, it takes me to adduser.jsp page. When I fill values in this page and click Save button, it takes me to Save Failed page and data does not persist to the database.
    WHAT IS WRONG OUT HERE ???

    If you set a breakpoint in your createUser method - does this code get executed?
    We have a couple of tutorials that might show you how to do this.

  • Display resolution settings not storing since upgrading monitors

    We have (2) Mac Pros and since upgrading to larger monitors we have been having issues with the resolution settings not "storing" in display preferences. The computer setups are slightly different, and the monitor sizes and make/models are both different, but the problems are the same:
    1) Mac Pro DVI out > VGA switcher > Monitor VGA input
    2) Mac Pro DVI out > VGA switcher > DVI switcher > Monitor DVI input
    (*Note - I know this whole setup seems ridiculous, but it's the way each of the rooms were hard-wired)
    With both machines the problems intermittently vary from the resolution itself changing at random when turning on the machine each day, to the desktop background being about 2/3 the size of the screen, while all of the icons and rest of the desktop being normal sized/extended to the edges of the monitor as it should.
    It seems that if we change resolution to anything else, and then change back to the desired resolution, that usually solves the problem.
    Does anyone know why these settings won't save?
    (*Note - we recently upgraded to Lion, but the issue was there before and after the upgrade.)

    You must close the window and save changes to keep them.
    You may have a problem with Disk Permissions -- the file may not be available to you for writing.

    I have imported an mp3 to my Library.  I want to keep it as media kind = podcast but no matter how often I change the tag in get info > options > media kind, the change will not persist, and the file remains in my Music list not my Podcast list.

  • ICloud mail settings not saved in System Preferences on Mountain Lion

    I note that iCloud mail settings not saved in System Preferences on Mountain Lion even if I tick mail in Icloud then close system preferences then open system preferences and it is untiked again?
    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Share Point 2013 - User Settings not initialised

    Hi there, 
    We are using the SharePoint 2013 server on top of Windows 2012.
    We've recently created  user profile application service and activated the Site Feed feature. 
    After that one of our users experiences an annoying thing, she is being redirected from the Home Page to another page that says "Edit user settings" and "User settings not initialized ". No other user is experiencing these issues. Please
    help.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that a spectial user got "Edit User Settings" when visiting a site collection.
    I recommend to
    remove the user from that site collection completly and then re-add him. You can select Site Settings, under "Users and Permissions", click People and groups. Select the group and user to remove it.
    In addition, you need to check the user permission. You can select Site Settings, under "Site permissions", click People and groups. Click Check Permissions, enter the user.
    Here is a similar thread for you to take a look at:

  • Folder view settings not retained in Leopard

    Anyone else seen this problem ?
    I like to have different folders with different view settings - some icon, some list, and now some coverflow. But, it doesn't retain these settings, it just reverts to whatever view I was looking at last, and applies that to all folders.
    This is intensely annoying !
    Tiger didn't used to do that.
    Is there a solution ?

    I've done that. I have all my folders set to open in Icon view except my Music folder, which is set for List view, but I still have the problem with the settings not sticking.
    I'm not sure if this is related, but when I got back a folder, the Finder doesn't always remember where I was, ie., I'll be at the bottom of my Applications folder, go to the Utilities folder and then go back to Applications at the top.)
