  • In choosing a service-oriented architecture framework that needs to work with .NET and with Java, what to look for?

    - by cm007
    I planning to write an application in which there will be a service (call it A) listening for particular commands. This service will then relay those commands to other services (call them B and C) which are written, respectively, in .NET and Java (service A chooses which of service B or C to which to relay depending on the contents of the request to service A). I am looking for a framework that will allow for interoperability with both .NET and with Java, for example WCF or JAX-WS, or writing a custom framework (e.g., JSON REST commands over HTTP, similar to http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/JsonWireProtocol). What questions/aspects should I consider in deciding?

  • If you had to work with horrible HTML, what would you do?

    - by Doug
    I was looking over some of my friend's HTML and CSS, and I was speechless (in a bad way). If I had to work with that, such as putting AJAX into it, then it would have been a lot of work. I would have to rebuild a lot of the HTML aspects, otherwise it wouldn't work well with the AJAX. What would you do in a situation like so? Would you just edit at the minimum? Would you do a overhaul and redo the whole HTML aspect? Would you go back to the client and ask for more money because it was a lot more work than expected? I'm interested in strategies and approaches and how it's done out in the field.

  • How to work on my personal ideas during the weekend? [closed]

    - by nurne
    I'm working full time 5 days a week, mostly between 10 and 14 hours a day. In the end of the day I'm very tired and just wanna take a shower, hang out and go to sleep. I have a lot of ideas that I want to implement and someday sell maybe through an online software business. I have my weekends free. However, when I get to the weekend I can't even imagine myself turn on the computer. But I really want to make my ideas happen, and I can't leave my job right now to devote myself only to my ideas. What do you say? Do you find some method helpful? Do you use some technique? Thanks

  • How to elegantly work with a lot of print functions?

    - by user1824372
    I'm working on a Python project that is executed on a terminal (or console) for which I am planning to implement a GUI. I did not major in CS so I really have no idea how to effectively design a terminal GUI such that: the user interface looks good in GUI, it is directed to a certain widget, let's say, a text label, or a bottom bar, or a hide-able frame. Do you have any suggestions? Currently, I am using the print function to provide essential information on STDOUT during execution, so a lot of print calls are distributed here and there in the code. I'm thinking of using macro-like variables such as 'FILE_NOT_EXISTS_MESSAGE' for printing, and all of them and their values would be defined in one file. Is that a standard way to do this? Should I introduce a logging system? In summary, I'm looking for a pattern for handling console output that is effective and adaptable.

  • When will fglrx work on latest Xorg server 1.9?

    - by user9032
    As many laptops with an ATI Radeon (5470HD) in it, mine is having issues too when installing the proprietary driver fglrx (screen hangs on startup). I read somewhere that these issues appear because the latest fglrx driver doesn't support the latest Xorg server 1.9 yet, which is installed on Ubuntu 10.10. So my question is whether any of you know when ati will support the latest xorg server? Thanks in advance!

  • Why suspend / hibernate does not work in Ubuntu 10.10? (blank screen problem)

    - by agn0stic
    I've got a problem with Ubuntu 10.10 suspend / hibernation. When I try to do one of these actions, computer prepares but in the end a blank screen comes up with just a single underscore blinking. Computer becomes unresponsive to mouse/keyboard and only pressing power button on chasis restores it. Disks and coolers are working during the suspend / hibernation as if nothing happened. Can anyone give me some advice how to solve it? Thank you.

  • How detailed should your report/invoice be for hourly work? [on hold]

    - by Marcus Cavanaugh
    When working on development projects (like an iPhone app for a client), how detailed should your reports be when providing an invoice? In other words, how specific should you be regarding the particular development tasks you were working on at a given time? Just as helpful would be a short example of what one of your invoices looks like, with sample times and tasks that you would typically include.

  • Will a standard CMS on a shared web hosting account work for this?

    - by user1185305
    I have two questions concerning CMS's that I need answered if possible: I need to create a site with a Database. This site will in due time have lots of traffic and many users if things go as planned. Is it better to have the CMS on a shared web hosting account or is it better to have a dedicated server for this? The site I want to create needs to be able to create groups where each group has its own admin. The admin of the group decides the content that each member can view/access. The information of one group can be shared to other groups as well. This means that only the information content is shared but not the group's member data. Should I use a single or multiple databases for this problem? Is this something that can be done using standard CMS systems out there. or should I try to build one myself?

  • How can I make a program (using SDL) built on Ubuntu work on other systems?

    - by halifar
    Hi there, I'm writing a program that uses OpenAL. When I link against it (I'm using CMake), it also links against libpulse - PulseAudio. This results in the binary not working on other systems. Can I somehow not link against PulseAudio and still use OpenAL on Ubuntu? Edit: I just figured something out: It's not OpenAL that's dragging PulseAudio in, it's SDL. Is there anything I can do about that?

  • How to make show desktop work only on the current workspace?

    - by thenasko
    I am an active user of workspaces in Ubuntu. Until recently, pressing Ctrl+Alt+D (show desktop) acted only on the current workspace. For example, one might want to minimize the applications in the current workspace, open a file, and then bring some of them back. The current implementation works on all workspaces uniformly which is counter-intuitive to me. The reason for the existence of workspaces is the separation of logic -- one can have a browser open in one workspace, a text editor in another, a terminal in a third. The current functionality goes against this idea. Is there a way to restrict the action of the show desktop command to a single workspace only?

  • Can communications & computer engineer work as a programmer? [closed]

    - by Egy Prot
    I'm studying now communications & computer engineering. The professor told me that: Engineers have much hiring priority than Computer Scientists. It's good I've the ability to apply for the faculty of engineering. This'll help me to achieve my ambition to be a programmer. We'll study computer science. While I was browsing, I only saw computer science, computer science... etc. Courses vary from a faculty to another. Can he be right? If he's right, will employers prefer Computer Scientists or Engineers?

  • Programming Language? - To create a application (eLearning course) that will work on PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Touch etc?

    - by Josh
    Hi Currently at work I'm helping put together and create eLearning courses within Flash. Our senior programmers have knowledge of how to do this, Although - I would like to know how you could go from converting a eLearning course from Flash into a application for Mac and PC, looking similar to Garageband's music lessons? What programming language was used to create Garageband on Mac? What is the best way to create a application that will work on PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Touch etc, Rather then using flash and Actionscript to create online based applications, that will only work in a browser on Mac and PC? Any further tips? Thanks Josh

  • STORED PROCEDURE working in my local test machine cannot be created in production environment.

    - by Marcos Buarque
    Hi, I have an SQL CREATE PROCEDURE statement that runs perfectly in my local SQL Server, but cannot be recreated in production environment. The error message I get in production is Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Incorrect syntax near '='. It is a pretty big query and I don't want to annoy StackOverflow users, but I simply can't find a solution. If only you could point me out what settings I could check in the production server in order to enable running the code... I must be using some kind of syntax or something that is conflicting with some setting in production. This PROCEDURE was already registered in production before, but when I ran a DROP - CREATE PROCEDURE today, the server was able to drop the procedure, but not to recreate it. I will paste the code below.

  • How can invoke a shell to make a new environment to run a make inside another make?

    - by WilliamKF
    I would like in my GNUmakefile to have a target rule that invokes a new shell and then with the clean slate of the new shell invokes a new make. What is the syntax to do this? I tried this but it didn't work: .PHONY: setup setup: shell cd myDir; make; cd .. It gets infinite repeat of the following error: make[1]: Entering directory `/disk4/home/user/parent' shell cd myDir; make; cd .. /bin/sh: shell: command not found make[1]: Entering directory `/disk4/home/user/parent' shell cd myDir; make; cd .. /bin/sh: shell: command not found [...]

  • Is it possible to use the ScalaTest BDD syntax in a JUnit environment?

    - by ebruchez
    I would like to describe tests in BDD style e.g. with FlatSpec but keep JUnit as a test runner. The ScalaTest Quick Start does not seem to show any example of this: http://www.scalatest.org/getting_started_with_junit_4 I first tried naively to write tests within @Test methods, but that doesn't work and the assertion is never tested: @Test def foobarBDDStyle { "The first name control" must "be valid" in { assert(isValid("name·1")) } // etc. } Is there any way to achieve this? It would be even better if regular tests can be mixed and matched with BDD-style tests.

  • suppose there is a class which contains 4 data fields.i have to read these value from xml file and s

    - by SunilRai86
    suppose there is a class which contains 4 fields.i have to read these value from xml file and set that value to fields the xml file is like that <Root> <Application > <AppName>somevalue</AppName> <IdMark>somevalue</IdMark> <ClassName>ABC</ClassName> <ExecName>XYZ</ExecName> </Application> <Application> <AppName>somevalue</AppName> <IdMark>somevalue</IdMark> <ClassName>abc</ClassName> <ExecName>xyz</ExecName> </Application> </Root> now i have to read all the values from xml file and set each value to particular fields. i hav done reading of the xml file and i saved the retrieved value in arraylist. the code is like that public class CXmlFileHook { string appname; string classname; string idmark; string execname; string ctor; public CXmlFileHook() { this.appname = "Not Set"; this.idmark = "Not Set"; this.classname = "Not Set"; this.execname = "Not Set"; this.ctor = "CXmlFileHook()"; } public void readFromXmlFile(string path) { XmlTextReader oRreader = new XmlTextReader(@"D:\\Documents and Settings\\sunilr\\Desktop\\MLPACK.xml"); //string[] strNodeValues = new string[4] { "?","?","?","?"}; ArrayList oArrayList = new ArrayList(); while (oRreader.Read()) { if (oRreader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element) { switch (oRreader.Name) { case "AppName": oRreader.Read(); //strNodeValues[0] =oRreader.Value; oArrayList.Add(oRreader.Value); break; case "IdMark": oRreader.Read(); //strNodeValues[1] = oRreader.Value; oArrayList.Add(oRreader.Value); break; case "ClassName": oRreader.Read(); //strNodeValues[2] = oRreader.Value; oArrayList.Add(oRreader.Value); break; case "ExecName": oRreader.Read(); //strNodeValues[3] = oRreader.Value; oArrayList.Add(oRreader.Value); break; } } } Console.WriteLine("Reading from arraylist"); Console.WriteLine("-------------------------"); for (int i = 0; i < oArrayList.Count; i++) { //Console.WriteLine("Reading from Sting[]"+ strNodeValues[i]); Console.WriteLine(oArrayList[i]); } //this.appname = strNodeValues[0]; //this.idmark = strNodeValues[1]; //this.classname = strNodeValues[2]; //this.execname = strNodeValues[3]; this.appname = oArrayList[0].ToString(); this.idmark = oArrayList[1].ToString(); this.classname = oArrayList[2].ToString(); this.execname = oArrayList[3].ToString(); } static string vInformation; public void showCurrentState(string path) { FileStream oFileStream = new FileStream(path, FileMode.Append, FileAccess.Write); StreamWriter oStreamWriter = new StreamWriter(oFileStream); oStreamWriter.WriteLine("****************************************************************"); oStreamWriter.WriteLine(" Log File "); oStreamWriter.WriteLine("****************************************************************"); CXmlFileHook oFilehook = new CXmlFileHook(); //Type t = Type.GetType(this._classname); //Type t = typeof(CConfigFileHook); DateTime oToday = DateTime.Now; vInformation += "Logfile created on : "; vInformation += oToday + Environment.NewLine; vInformation += "Public " + Environment.NewLine; vInformation += "----------------------------------------------" + Environment.NewLine; vInformation += "Private " + Environment.NewLine; vInformation += "-----------------------------------------------" + Environment.NewLine; vInformation += "ctor = " + this.ctor + Environment.NewLine; vInformation += "appname = " + this.appname + Environment.NewLine; vInformation += "idmark = " + this.idmark + Environment.NewLine; vInformation += "classname = " + this.classname + Environment.NewLine; vInformation += "execname = " + this.execname + Environment.NewLine; vInformation += "------------------------------------------------" + Environment.NewLine; vInformation += "Protected" + Environment.NewLine; vInformation += "------------------------------------------------" + Environment.NewLine; oStreamWriter.WriteLine(vInformation); oStreamWriter.Flush(); oStreamWriter.Close(); oFileStream.Close(); } } here i set set the fields according to arraylist index but i dont want is there any another solution for this....

  • New features in TFS Demo Setup 1.0.0.2

    - by Tarun Arora
    Release Notes – http://tfsdemosetup.codeplex.com/ | Download | Source Code | Report a Bug | Ideas Just pushed out the 2nd release of the TFS Demo setup on CodePlex, below a quick look at some of the new features/improvements in the tool… Details of the existing features can be found here. Feature 1 – Set up Work Items Queries as Team Favorites The task board looks cooler when the team favourite work item queries show up on the task board. The demo setup console application now has the ability to set up the work item queries as team favorites for you. If you want to see how you can add Team Favorites programmatically, refer to this blogpost here. Image 1 – Task board without Team Favorites Let’s see how the TFS Demo Setup application sets-up team favorites as part of the run… Open up the DemoDictionary.xml and you should be able to see the new node <TeamFavorites> this accepts multiple <TeamFavorite>. You simply need to specify the <Type> as Query and in the <Name> specify the name of the work item query that you would like added as a favorite. Image 2 – Highlighting the TeamFavorites block in DemoDictionary.xml So, when the demo set up application is run with the above config, work item queries “Blocked Tasks” and “Open Impediments” are added as team favorites. They then show up on the task board, as highlighted in the screen shot below. Image 3 – Team Favorites setup during the TFS demo setup app execution Feature 2 – Choose what you want to setup and exclude the rest I had a great feature request come in requesting the ability to exclude parts of the setup at the sole discretion of the executioner. To accommodate this, I have added an attribute with each block, the attribute “Run” accepts “true” or “false”. If you set the flag to true then at the time of execution that block would be considered for setup and if you set the flag to false, the block will be ignored during the setup. So, lets look at an example below… The attribute "Run” is set to true for TeamSettings, Team Favorites, TeamMembers and WorkItems. So, all of these would be setup as part of the demo setup application execution. Image 4 – New Attribute Run added to all blocks in DemoDictionary.xml If I did not want to recreate the team and did not want to add new work items but only wanted to add favorites and team members to the existing team “AgileChamps1” then I could simple run the application with below DemoDictionary.xml. Note – TeamSettings Run=”false” and WorkItems Run=”false”. Image 5 – TeamFavorites and TeamMembers set as true and others set to false Feature 3 – Usability Improvement If you try and assign a work item to a team member that does not exist then the application throws a nasty exception. This behaviour has now been changed, upon adding such a work item, the work items will be created and not assigned to any user. The work item id will be printed to the console making it simple for you to assign the work item manually. As you can see in the screen shot below, I am trying to assign the work item to a user “Tarun” and a user “v2” both are *not valid users in my team project collection* so the tool creates the work items and provides me the work item id and lets me know that since the user is invalid the work item could not be assigned to the user. Better user experience ae Image 6 – Behaviour if work item assigned to users are in valid users in team project That’s about it for the current release. I have some new features planned for the next release. Mean while if you have any ideas/comments please feel free to leave a comment. Stay tuned for more… Enjoy! Other posts on TFS Demo Setup can be found here.
