• Is Updating double operation atomic

  - by Yan Cheng CHEOK

  In Java, updating double and long variable may not be atomic, as double/long are being treated as two separate 32 bits variables. http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/second_edition/html/memory.doc.html#28733 In C++, if I am using 32 bit Intel Processor + Microsoft Visual C++ compiler, is updating double (8 byte) operation atomic? I cannot find much specification mention on this behavior. When I say "atomic variable", here is what I mean : Thread A trying to write 1 to variable x. Thread B trying to write 2 to variable x. We shall get value 1 or 2 out from variable x, but not an undefined value.

• Problem with auto page break in iReport

  - by David Reniz

  Hi... I'm using iReport 3.7. I have a report with two subreports (order details and some selling statistics), and a grouping by seller. One subreport is located in the Detail band of the group, and the other one is in the group footer. What's really odd is that no matter how long the report is, when I export it to PDF it's always one page long. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks in advance.

• oracle clob insertion problem in spring

  - by haluk

  Hi, I want to insert CLOB value into my Oracle database and here is the what I could do. I got this exception while inserting operation "ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column". Would someone able to tell me what should I do? Thanks. List<Object> listObjects = dao.selectAll("TABLE NAME", new XRowMapper()); String queryX = "INSERT INTO X (A,B,C,D,E,F) VALUES ?,?,?,?,?,XMLTYPE(?))"; OracleLobHandler lobHandler = new OracleLobHandler(); for(Object myObject : listObjects) { dao.create(queryX, new Object[]{ ((X)myObject).getA(), ((X)myObject).getB(), new SqlLobValue (((X)myObject).getC(), lobHandler), ((X)myObject).getD(), ((X)myObject).getE(), ((X)myObject).getF() }, new int[] {Types.VARCHAR,Types.VARCHAR,Types.CLOB,Types.VARCHAR,Types.VARCHAR,Types.VARCHAR}); }

• Using JSON input in Ruby method on Rails

  - by Zachary

  I am using jQuery to make an AJAX call to a ruby method in my controller. The javascript looks something like this: var latLongJSON = { "address": [ {"lat" : 50, "long" : 50} ] }; var returnedAddresses; $.ajax({ type: "GET", data: latLongJSON, url: "map/getaddresses", success: function(data) { returnedAddresses = JSON.parse(data); } }); Then in my 'getaddresses' method, my parameter coming through looks like: Parameters: {"address"=>"[object Object]"} I'm not sure what to do with this. I'm fairly new to Ruby, and I'm not sure if I need to convert this to something else, or what. Ideally I want to be able to pass in multiple sets of lat/long in the 'address' array, then be able to iterate over those in my Ruby code.

• How to convert latitude or longitude to meters?

  - by Adam Taylor

  Hi, If I have a latitude or longitude reading in standard NMEA format is there an easy way / forumla to convert that reading to meters, which I can then implement in Java (J9)? Edit: Ok seems what I want to do is not possible /easily/, however what I really want to do is: Say I have a lat and long of a way point and a lat and long of a user is there an easy way to compare them to decide when to tell the user they are within a /reasonably/ close distance of the way point? I realise reasonable is subject but is this easily do-able or still overly maths-y? Thanks, Adam

• Programmatic DNS

  - by Chad

  I'm a long time developer but not very experienced with DNS. Here's my problem: Our app launches servers on Amazon EC2 for clients. One client wants to use custom DNS's for every server launched instead of the normal long public DNS provided by AWS: for example server-5.demo.ourclient.com, server-6.demo.ourclient.com. What's the easiest/cleanest/best way to solve this challenge from inside our application that launches the servers and knows the Amazon public DNS? We can probably get control of demo.ourclient.com as well.... Are there nice hosted solutions with API's? Would we need to manage a DNS server for *.demo.ourclient.com? Thanks! Chad

• DbgHelp.dll : Problem calling SymGetModuleInfo64 from C#

  - by Civa

  Hello everyone, I have quite strange behaviour calling SymGetModuleInfo64 from C# code.I always get ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER (87) with Marshal.GetLastWin32Error().I have already read a lot of posts regarding problems with frequent updates of IMAGEHLP_MODULE64 struct and I just downloaded latest Debugging Tools For Windows (x86) , loaded dbghelp.dll from that location and I was quite sure it would work.Nevertheless I am getting the same error.Can anyone point me what is wrong here? IMAGEHLP_MODULE64 struct is defined in my code as follows : [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)] public struct IMAGEHELP_MODULE64 { //************************************************ public int SizeOfStruct; public long BaseOfImage; public int ImageSize; public int TimeDateStamp; public int CheckSum; public int NumSyms; public SymType SymType; [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst = 32)] public string ModuleName; [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst = 256)] public string ImageName; [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst = 256)] public string LoadedImageName; //************************************************ //new elements v2 //************************************************* [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst = 256)] public string LoadedPdbName; public int CVSig; [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst = 780)] public string CVData; public int PdbSig; public GUID PdbSig70; public int PdbAge; public bool PdbUnmatched; public bool DbgUnmatched; public bool LineNumbers; public bool GlobalSymbols; public bool TypeInfo; //************************************************ //new elements v3 //************************************************ public bool SourceIndexed; public bool Publics; //************************************************ //new elements v4 //************************************************ public int MachineType; public int Reserved; //************************************************ } the piece of code that actually calls SymGetModuleInfo64 is like this : public void GetSymbolInfo(IntPtr hProcess,long modBase64,out bool success) { success = false; DbgHelp.IMAGEHELP_MODULE64 moduleInfo = new DbgHelp.IMAGEHELP_MODULE64(); moduleInfo.SizeOfStruct = Marshal.SizeOf(moduleInfo); try { success = DbgHelp.SymGetModuleInfo64(hProcess, modBase64, out moduleInfo); if (success) { //Do the stuff here } } catch (Exception exc) { } } Im stuck here...always with error 87.Please someone points me to the right direction. By the way modBase64 is value previously populated by : modBase64 = DbgHelp.SymLoadModule64(_handle, IntPtr.Zero, fileName, null, baseAddress, size); where _handle is process handle of process being debugged,fileName is path of current loaded module, baseAddress is address base of currently loaded module and size is of course the size of current loaded module.I call this code when I get LOAD_DLL_DEBUG_EVENT. Edit : Sorry, I forgot to mention that SymGetModuleInfo64 signature is like this : [DllImport("dbghelp.dll", SetLastError = true)] public static extern bool SymGetModuleInfo64(IntPtr hProcess, long ModuleBase64, out IMAGEHELP_MODULE64 imgHelpModule); Best regards, Civa

• getExtra from Intent launched from a pendingIntent

  - by spagi

  Hi. I am trying to make some alarms after the user selects something with a time from a list and create a notification for it at the given time. My problem is that the "showname" that a putExtra on my Intent cant be received at the broadcast receiver. It always get null value. This is the way I do it for most of my intents but I think this time maybe because of the pendingIntent or the broadcastReceiver something need to be done differentelly. Thank you The function that sends the Intent through the pending intent public void setAlarm(String showname,String time) { String[] hourminute=time.split(":"); String hour = hourminute[0]; String minute = hourminute[1]; Calendar rightNow = Calendar.getInstance(); rightNow.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, Integer.parseInt(hour)); rightNow.set(Calendar.MINUTE, Integer.parseInt(minute)); rightNow.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0); long t=rightNow.getTimeInMillis(); long t1=System.currentTimeMillis(); try { Intent intent = new Intent(this, alarmreceiver.class); Bundle c = new Bundle(); c.putString("showname", showname);//This is the value I want to pass intent.putExtras(c); PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 12345, intent, 0); AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE); alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, rightNow.getTimeInMillis(),pendingIntent); //Log.e("ALARM", "time of millis: "+System.currentTimeMillis()); Toast.makeText(this, "Alarm set", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } catch (Exception e) { Log.e("ALARM", "ERROR IN CODE:"+e.toString()); } } And this is the receiving end public class alarmreceiver extends BroadcastReceiver { @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { // Toast.makeText(context, "Alarm worked.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); Bundle b = intent.getExtras(); String showname=b.getString("showname");//This is where I suppose to receive it but its null NotificationManager manger = (NotificationManager) context .getSystemService(context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE); Notification notification = new Notification(R.drawable.icon, "TVGuide ?pe???µ?s?", System.currentTimeMillis()); PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, new Intent(context, tvguide.class), 0); notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, "?? ?????aµµa ?e????se", showname, contentIntent); notification.flags = Notification.FLAG_ONLY_ALERT_ONCE; notification.sound = Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/dominating.mp3"); notification.vibrate = new long[]{100, 250, 100, 500}; manger.notify(1, notification); } }

• CSS Margins Increase with H1 Length

  - by Ethan Turkeltaub

  Consider the following markup: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Test Page</title> <link href="screen.css" rel="stylesheet" /> </head> <body> <h1>Test</h1> <h3>Description</h3> </body> </html> And the CSS: h3{ margin-top: -25px; } Now, I want the H3 to have a margin-left of however long H1 is, and it is consistently 20px away. So, if I have a H1 block of 200px long, then H3 would have a margin-left of 220px, and so on and so forth. How would I do this?

• Blackberry.location API not working correctly

  - by chibineku

  I am experimenting with making Blackberry widgets but having a little trouble. My first trial involves displaying a button which, when clicked, calls a JavaScript function that should alert the phones latitude and longitude. The function looks: function whereAmI() { var latitude = blackberry.location.latitude; var longitude = blackberry.location.longitude; alert("Lat: "+latitude+", Long: "+longitude); } But it only ever alerts "Lat: 0, Long: 0". I've checked and my GPS seems to be working ok. I'm running OS 5.* on a Curve 8900. Any help would be appreciated :)

• Upcoming Webinar: Practical Performance Profiling presented by Jean-Philippe Gouigoux

  - by Michaela Murray

  Hot on the heels of releasing his new book, Practical Performance Profiling, I'm delighted that Jean-Philippe Gouigoux will be joining us on April 3rd to present a free webinar on optimizing .NET code performance. He gave me a sneak preview of his talk last week and there's a lot of really useful advice in there. He'll be discussing why he thinks 20% of performance problems account for 80% of lost time, before looking at some real examples of both server-side and client-side profiling, and covering a variety of best practices you can use to improve the performance of your own code. The webinar will be followed by a Q&A session where he'll be joined by Red Gate technical support engineer Chris Allen to answer any of your questions. Jean-Philippe has 10 years' experience in .NET, most recently as system architect at MGDIS, and was recently made a Microsoft MVP for his contributions to the .NET community. I'm really excited that he's found a gap between his day job and university lecturing to share his knowledge, and I hope you'll be able to join us on April 3rd - it's free but you do need to register in advance at https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/829014934. I'll see you there!

  In the last eight days the Oracle Technology Network Architect Day tour has stopped in Dallas, Anaheim (Disneyland, to be precise) , and at Oracle HQ in Redwood Shores,  CA. I was on-scene for the Dallas event, where I pulled a TMZ-style ambush on Chris Benedict from the Oracle Enterprise Solutions Group to capture this short video.     The other presenters escaped. But the slide decks from several of the presentations are now available on Slideshare:  IT Optimization: Reduce Data Center Costs and Set the Foundation for Future Growth as presented by Alan Levine, Oracle Enterprise Architect Senior Director Implementing Applications with SOA and Application Integration Architecture as presented by Vish Gaitonde, Director, Ecosystem Strategy, Application Integration Architecture Application Grid: Platform for Virtualization and Consolidation of Your Java Applications as presented by Sam Shah, Director, SOA and Integration, Oracle Enterprise Solutions Group Infrastructure Consolidation and Virtualization as presented by Steve Bennett, also a Director with the Oracle Enterprise Solutions Group Security in a Cloudy Architecture as presented by Geri Born, Security Specialist with the Oracle Enterprise Solutions Group I'll post more Architect Day presentations as soon as I track them down. A special thank you to Oracle ACE Directors Jordan Braunstein, Billy Tong, and Kai Yu, who were on hand in Dallas, and to fellow ACE Directors Basheer Khan and Floyd Teter for their participation in the Anaheim event.  (Floyd and his iPad came through again, allowing me to record the Anaheim panel discussion via Skype while sitting in my home office in Cleveland.) That audio, as well as audio from the panel discussion and a roundtable from the Dallas event, will be available soon as ArchBeat podcast programs. If you attended one of these events, a big thanks. Your active participation, your questions and input, are what these events are all about.  As new cities are added to the tour, we expect more of the same from the OTN architect community.

• Modeling distribution of performance measurements

  - by peterchen

  How would you mathematically model the distribution of repeated real life performance measurements - "Real life" meaning you are not just looping over the code in question, but it is just a short snippet within a large application running in a typical user scenario? My experience shows that you usually have a peak around the average execution time that can be modeled adequately with a Gaussian distribution. In addition, there's a "long tail" containing outliers - often with a multiple of the average time. (The behavior is understandable considering the factors contributing to first execution penalty). My goal is to model aggregate values that reasonably reflect this, and can be calculated from aggregate values (like for the Gaussian, calculate mu and sigma from N, sum of values and sum of squares). In other terms, number of repetitions is unlimited, but memory and calculation requirements should be minimized. A normal Gaussian distribution can't model the long tail appropriately and will have the average biased strongly even by a very small percentage of outliers. I am looking for ideas, especially if this has been attempted/analysed before. I've checked various distributions models, and I think I could work out something, but my statistics is rusty and I might end up with an overblown solution. Oh, a complete shrink-wrapped solution would be fine, too ;) Other aspects / ideas: Sometimes you get "two humps" distributions, which would be acceptable in my scenario with a single mu/sigma covering both, but ideally would be identified separately. Extrapolating this, another approach would be a "floating probability density calculation" that uses only a limited buffer and adjusts automatically to the range (due to the long tail, bins may not be spaced evenly) - haven't found anything, but with some assumptions about the distribution it should be possible in principle. Why (since it was asked) - For a complex process we need to make guarantees such as "only 0.1% of runs exceed a limit of 3 seconds, and the average processing time is 2.8 seconds". The performance of an isolated piece of code can be very different from a normal run-time environment involving varying levels of disk and network access, background services, scheduled events that occur within a day, etc. This can be solved trivially by accumulating all data. However, to accumulate this data in production, the data produced needs to be limited. For analysis of isolated pieces of code, a gaussian deviation plus first run penalty is ok. That doesn't work anymore for the distributions found above. [edit] I've already got very good answers (and finally - maybe - some time to work on this). I'm starting a bounty to look for more input / ideas.

• In Rails/ActiveRecord 3, how do I change the default primary key type for MySQL?

  - by jfarmer

  In Rails 3, how do you change the default primary key type to, say, BIGINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY In my case I'm only interested in MySQL. For Rails 2, you can see the answer to "How do I use long IDs in Rails?"1 In Rails 3, however, this will throw an error. I'm not sure if that's because the class is no long used, or if the code needs to go in the same place. You can see in active_record/connection_adapters/mysql_adapter.rb that the NATIVE_DATABASE_TYPES constant is still defined. What's the correct way to achieve the same effect in Rails 3?

• "Give with Bing" - Help raise money for Sports relief while searching for whatever you want

  - by Testas

  While Sport Relief drives fundraising by challenging people to do physical activities such as running a mile, we’re introducing the ‘Bing Search Mile,’ which gives people the ability to search using Bing and raise money for charity. For every 10 searches made, Bing.com will donate 5p to Sport Relief 2010, enabling you, and your friends and family, to raise money just by searching with Bing until the end of March. With the average mile taking about 10 minutes to run, in the same time, you can make up to 150 searches online - that’s 75p raised for a good cause per ‘search mile’. And while you’re at it,  why not step it up a gear and aim to complete a ‘Search Mile’ each day or even a ‘Search Marathon’ over the 5 week campaign with your colleagues, friends and family? How to get involved: 1.      Visit GiveWithBing.com and download the Official Sport Relief Bing Counter. Once downloaded, the Sport Relief counter will count all the searches you do on Bing from that point on.  2.      Now that you’re registered (and signed in), invite your friends, family, colleagues or classmates to join in the fundraising with you – GiveWithBing.com automatically generates an email explaining how it works for you to send them – the more people who search with you, the more money you raise. People can also register a school 3.      Run your ‘search mile’ every day and watch how your searches turn into life-changing cash for charity, with every 10 searches equalling 5p for Sport Relief. You can check your progress by visiting your individual page (more info here).  This is such a positive initiative and I challenge everyone in the UK to invite their key contacts to be part of Give with Bing.   Chris

  - by Stephen Swensen

  Suppose I have the following Domain object mapping to a legacy table, utilizing read-only second-level cache, and having a transient field: class DomainObject { static def transients = ['userId'] Long id Long userId static mapping = { cache usage: 'read-only' table 'SOME_TABLE' } } I have a problem, references to DomainObject instances seem to be shared due to the caching, and thus transient fields are writing over each other. For example, def r1 = DomainObject.get(1) r1.userId = 22 def r2 = DomainObject.get(1) r2.userId = 34 assert r1.userId == 34 That is, r1 and r2 are references to the same instance. This is undesirable, I would like to cache the table data without sharing references. Any ideas?

• Grails multiple databases

  - by srinath

  Hi, how can we write queries on 2 databases . I installed datasources plugin and domain classes are : class Organization { long id long company_id String name static mapping = { version false table 'organization_' id column : 'organizationId' company_id column : 'companyId' name column : 'name' } } class Assoc { Integer id Integer association_id Integer organization_id static mapping = { version false table 'assoc' id column : 'ASSOC_ID' association_id column : 'ASSOCIATION_ID' organization_id column : 'ORGANIZATION_ID' } } this is working : def org = Organization.list() def assoc = Assoc.list() and this is not working : def query = Organization.executeQuery("SELECT o.name as name, o.id FROM Organization o WHERE o.id IN (SELECT a.organization_id FROM Assoc a )") error : org.hibernate.hql.ast.QuerySyntaxException: Assoc is not mapped [SELECT o.name as name, o.id FROM org.com.domain.Organization o WHERE o.id IN (SELECT a.organization_id FROM AssocOrg a )] How can we connect with 2 databases using single query ? thanks in advance .
