RivaTuner + NV Trickies

RivaTuner is unable to control the FAN (on 8800 Ultra) in low-level System Tweak.


May need to enable the feature for ForceWare in regedit. Detail



RivaTuner is unable to display Fan Duty Cycle or Reference Fan Duty Cycle always 100%


To enable Fan Duty Cycle, need to enable a sensor plugin. Detail

JJM AU DW Tricky Trick

In DW_MATERIAL_MASTER a material may has an entry for JMNZ but not JMAU.


If there is a JMAU transaction for this material, when extracting the fact data against the dimension (material hierarchy), this transaction maybe dropped from the fact table since it could not find the correspond entry in material hierarchy.



For a JMNZ transaction, it might be labeled as UNALLOCATED JJMAU as its EMPLOYEE_NAME_DISPLAY.


Such transaction may have gone into JMAU (appears in JJM Affiliates) cube instead of JMNZ cube.

Seam + Hibernate + MS SQL

Seam 2.1, use Hibernate as JPA provider with MS SQL 2005, SQL driver complaints syntax error



Caused by: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'user'.
at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException.makeFromDatabaseError(SQLServerException.java:196)
at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerStatement.getNextResult(SQLServerStatement.java:1454)

at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerPreparedStatement$PrepStmtExecCmd.doExecute(SQLServerPreparedStatement.java:338)
at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.TDSCommand.execute(IOBuffer.java:4026)

"User" is keyword in SQL Server, so need to escape it in @Table definition. Also the Entity which names a property by using "user" may causes problem too.



Seam 2.1, use Hibernate as JPA provider with MS SQL 2005 and its JDBC driver 2.0. A EJB remote interface is implemented for a Seam EntityHome. After a remote client (A plain Java main class) obtains the EntityHome by JNDI look up and try to get an instance of the entity via getInstance(), it causes ClassCastException.




@Name("measurementDataHome")
@Stateful
public class MeasurementDataHome extends EntityHome implements MeasurementData {
......
}



@Remote
public interface MeasurementData {

public void setId(Object Id);

public Object getId();

public void setInstance(MeasurementDataEntity instance);

public MeasurementDataEntity getInstance();

public boolean isManaged();

public String remove();
}



Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Long
at $Proxy2.getInstance(Unknown Source)
at Main.main(Main.java:24)

The cause is unknown. But the fix is add Override getInstance() inside EntityHome implementation:



@Override
public MeasurementDataEntity getInstance() {
return super.getInstance();
}


Seam 2.1, use Hibernate as JPA provider with MS SQL 2005 and its JDBC driver 2.0. When User entity is trying to load a list of its associated MeasurementData entities, it throws exceptions.

The problems was that the value in the database was NULL so when Hibernate try to set the value NULL from the DB to the set method which accept a primitive value it throw an error. So in Entity, change primitive type to Object type so it accepts null.



Seam 2.1, use Hibernate as JPA provider with MS SQL 2005 and its JDBC driver 2.0. Association between MeasurementData and User is Lazy fetching. When trying to get list of measurementData which associates with a user, it throws LIE.

Using EntityHome for entities in long-running contexts



How to avoid LazyInitializationException



Seam 2.1, use Hibernate as JPA provider with MS SQL 2005 and its JDBC driver 2.0. Hibernate generates wrong SQL, thus causes MS SQL driver throws exception. For example, ClinicalData and Patient are two entities associate with, the generated SQL mistakes clinicalData and patient (property field name) as column names.



Hibernate:
select
measuremen0_.Id as Id4_0_,
measuremen0_.addDateTime as addDateT2_4_0_,
measuremen0_.clinicalData as clinical3_4_0_, <--- Wrong
measuremen0_.patient as patient4_0_, <--- Wrong
measuremen0_.valueNumeric as valueNum5_4_0_,
measuremen0_.voidedDateTime as voidedDa6_4_0_
from
UserClinicalData measuremen0_
where
measuremen0_.Id=?
ERROR [org.hibernate.util.JDBCExceptionReporter] Invalid column name 'clinicalData'.


Hibernate:
select
measuremen0_.UserId as UserId3_,
measuremen0_.Id as Id3_,
measuremen0_.Id as Id4_2_,
measuremen0_.AddDateTime as AddDateT2_4_2_,
measuremen0_.ClinicalDataId as Clinical6_4_2_, <--- After fixed
measuremen0_.UserId as UserId4_2_, <--- After fixed
measuremen0_.ValueNumeric as ValueNum3_4_2_,
measuremen0_.VoidedDateTime as VoidedDa4_4_2_,
clinicalda1_.Id as Id5_0_,
clinicalda1_.ClinicalDataCodeId as Clinical3_5_0_,
clinicalda1_.Type as Type5_0_,
codedictio2_.Id as Id1_1_,
codedictio2_.CodeDictionaryCode as CodeDict2_1_1_
from
UserClinicalData measuremen0_
left outer join
ClinicalData clinicalda1_
on measuremen0_.ClinicalDataId=clinicalda1_.Id
left outer join
CodeDictionary codedictio2_
on clinicalda1_.ClinicalDataCodeId=codedictio2_.Id
where
measuremen0_.UserId=?

The problem occurred when mapping notations i.e. @ManyToOne applied in getter/setter methods. The problem disappear after moving all notations to property field level.

MS Excel vlookup Demo



=VLOOKUP(A2, 's1'!$A$2:$B$25, 2,)


Assume this is vlookup in sheet s2. A2 is the exact value searched for in the first column of the reference array.'s1'!$A$2:$B$25 is the reference array, which must include at least two columns (because have to include A2). $ in the array range is absolute, ensures that all vlookup look up from the EXACT same reference array. 2 is is the column index in the array that contains the value to be returned. In other word, vlookup finds the match A2 in the array in sheet s1 and return the value in column 2.

Seam 2 + MySQL 5 + jBPM 3

Seam (jboss-seam-2.1.2) could not start jBPM (jbpm-3.2.6.SP1) causes application deployment fails



02:08:48,718 ERROR [jbpm]] Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamListener
org.jboss.seam.InstantiationException: Could not instantiate Seam component: org.jboss.seam.bpm.jbpm


Caused by: org.hibernate.PropertyAccessException: could not get a field value by reflection getter of org.jbpm.job.Job.id

jboss-seam-2.1.2 comes with an older version of jbpm-jpdl.jar. Copy the newer one from jbpm-3.2.6.SP1 to replace the one in seam.



Seam (jboss-seam-2.1.2) example Hotel Booking, it causes exceptions during undeployment during JBoss shutdown



17:35:36,421 WARN [Component] Exception calling stateful session bean default @Remove method: hotelBooking
org.jboss.ejb3.common.registrar.spi.NotBoundException: Requested value bound at name "jboss.j2ee:ear=seam.example.hotel-ear.ear,jar=seam.example.hotel-ejb.jar,name=HotelBookingAction,service=EJB3" is not bound.

Only the Stateful session beans like hotelSearch cause the exception. Inside the example there are jboss.xml which contains session bean registrations. Places this file to seam.example.hotel-ear\EarContent\META-INF.



Seam (jboss-seam-2.1.2) jBPM file for page flow could not be parsed



Caused by: org.jbpm.jpdl.JpdlException: [[ERROR] Unable to parse process definition pageflow.jpdl.xml]
at org.jboss.seam.bpm.Jbpm.getPageflowDefinitionFromResource(Jbpm.java:169)
at org.jboss.seam.bpm.Jbpm.installPageflowDefinitions(Jbpm.java:278)

Check if the process definition contains any sub process. If it does, in components.xml, all sub processes MUST be defined before the main process. For example: if cheat.jpdl.xml is a sub process of pageflow.jpd.xml, the follow one will cause the trouble




pageflow.jpdl.xml
cheat.jpdl.xml


And this one is correct.




cheat.jpdl.xml
pageflow.jpdl.xml

Eclipse + Seam + TestNG Tricky

TestNG gives "Connection Refused" while running on Eclipse


org.testng.TestNGException:

... 2 more

While running TestNG in Eclipse there
will always be 2 VMs involved: the VM of Eclipse and the VM running
the tests. In order to update the plugin UI the 2 VMs are
communicating over a port using a very simple string based protocol.
The exception you are seeing is telling that the 2 VMs are not able to
talk to each other. This is a weird exception that would translate
into: there was impossible to open a communication port between the 2
VMs involved. Off hand, the cause may be: a bug in Eclipse/plugin or
maybe a firewall/antivirus that blocks this.



TestNG/Seam reports ClassNotFoundException issues

It seems that it does not like space in the path T_T, try to set the workspace to somewhere with NO space!! FUCK!



When running test case in Eclipse, TestNG complains bad version in .class file even Java 5 is used


java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version number in .class file

Make sure everything is Java 5 compliant, such as:



  • Project build path

  • JAVA_HOME, JRE_HOME

  • Java's in PATH (check by java -version)

  • The Application Server (i.e. must be JDK5 compiled JBoss AS 5)
