Yes. Move the code to a Servlet, populate a collection of objects,
and use JSTL to display the values:
${txn.code}${txn.branch}${txn.operator}
Oh. You meant about the question marks. ;) Check the LANG settings
on both the client and server... LANG=C is known to work.

[U2] UniObjects for Java on Linux
Greetings,
I have an interesting problem. I have written a jsp page which queries data
from a UniVerse database using UniObjects for java (asjava.uniobjects.*).
Whenever I read a field from a file the contents of the UniString are in the
following format field1?field2?field3?filed4 etc. Effectively this means that
using UniDynArray.extract(field, value, subvalue); doesn't work. Does anyone
have any ideas?
Cheers PJ
sample code:
// now we have all the transaction we can display them in reverse
order
for (int vectorIndex = tranVector.size() - 1; vectorIndex > -1;
vectorIndex--) {
uString = (UniString)tranVector.get(vectorIndex);
transaction = new UniDynArray(uString);
// in UniVerse the following three are stored as file<1, 1>, file<1,
2> and file<1, 3>
String code = transaction.extract(1).toString();
String branch = transaction.extract(2).toString();
String operator = transaction.extract(3).toString();
// now the date is the second field in the UniVerse file with the
effDate being the second value
String date = uSession.oconv(transaction.extract(4, 1),
"D").toString();
String effDate = uSession.oconv(transaction.extract(4, 2),
"D").toString(); // results in a blank field
out.println("" + code + "" + branch + "");
out.println("" + operator + "" + date + "" +
effDate + "");
out.println("" + uString + "");
}

From the code examples (found, thanks Wendy), and docs, it appears there is no UV call to a Java class, from within a Basic subroutine. In this credit card project, the UV host is actually the client, calling a Java API which communicates with a Linux host running Live Processor software (by Retail Decisions). The LP server then passes the Auth request or settlement to the actual credit card processor across a frame. I realize this doesn't answer your question, but have you considered cutting out the middleman in this scenario - meaning the LP software? The software vendor may also offer an XML web service gateway that will allow you to communicate with them directly from UV. They must have some kind of web service available that their own software is connecting to. We're in the process of going live with this kind of setup with Verisign, and the implementation was not very difficult. -John -- John Hester System & Network Administrator Momentum Group Inc.

RE: [U2] UniVerse call to Java class
The way to go is a C wrapper for the Java API - most efficient way etc You need to watch you don't "leak" though. As an alternative I would recommend putting a free-standing wrapper around a Java listener process running as a service (daemon) and having it listen on a socket stream. The UniVerse process which wishes to make a call to the CC verifier then makes a socket call to open a socket stream to the listener. The listener in turn spawns a thread to deal with the received connection request and resumes listening for the (next) call. Meanwhile . The spawned thread handles the request via direct Java API and returns the result on the socket data stream before terminating the thread. This is a neat approach (if I say so myself) and I've used it in the past (or very similar ones anyway) to create TAPI and ATAPI interfaces into U2 with a full client/server API in GCI (before native socket support). The "Listener process" approach allows you to add different API interfaces as other daemons and just have them listen on a different port. That way no change to the BASIC programs is needed, just a port number in a configuration file needs editing. You can add other CC services fairly easily as requirements change.

So, why don't you use the test scripts. Enhance them and then call them from uniVerse BASIC. I do that all the time for automated FTP data transfers for real-time dual database updating. If you need some pointers for command-line options, I'll be willing to help sans-fee, if it's cursory and not time-consuming. If you want the script written, I can do that, for fee.

Re: [U2] UniVerse call to Java class
I don't even know if this is possible as I'm not a C or Java programmer. UV has the GCI (General Call Interface) that allows it to make calls to external subroutines written in C, C++ and Fortran 77. It seems to me that you should be able to create a "wrapper" in C++ that would call the Java API and then return the data from the Java credit card software to the UV application. Again, I don't know if C++ can be made to "talk" with Java either. Just an idea, Gordon P.S. I think we should add this functionality request to our enhancement request list. Fortran 77? Does that even exist anymore? I'm thinking a Java interface would be much more in demand that a Fortran 77 one. Gordon J.

[U2] UniVerse call to Java class
Thanks to Wendy, JayJay, and Kevin who responded to my previous posts about Java. Your replies, and the docs, all indicate that the U2 Java API only accommodates calls TO UV or UD databases, or Basic subroutines. >From the code examples (found, thanks Wendy), and docs, it appears there is no UV call to a Java class, from within a Basic subroutine. In this credit card project, the UV host is actually the client, calling a Java API which communicates with a Linux host running Live Processor software (by Retail Decisions). The LP server then passes the Auth request or settlement to the actual credit card processor across a frame. We can run the Java client (a testing shell script) from the Unix command line and test the connection and run Test scenarios. That all works. What I need help on is some elegant way to make the client call from UV Basic, hopefully passing/receiving some arguments/parameters. The client is multi-threaded so the connection is persistent for the life of each call, returning a Transaction ID and various response codes (decline/approval & why, etc.).

I encountered an issue with ODBC connectivity, very similar to what you are reporting. The solution (as incomprehensible as it sounds) was the length of the user name and password. Once I used a user ID that was 8 characters (or less) and a password that was 9 characters (or less), my connectivity issues were resolved. Just my $.02.

[U2] UV: Other ways of replicating?
UniVerse users, Recently, we've been looking at ways of developing a high availability cluster for our production UniVerse environment. Thanks to www.linux-ha.org we've been able to install two machines at different locations (cities twenty miles apart) and if the primary machine drops, users can log into the same IP address within a few seconds. The problem we have run into is replicating our data across the two nodes. The best way would be database replication. Unfortunately, UniVerse can't replicate the type 1 and type 19 files, which we use extensively. Further, we cannot use ALTER.TABLE or CLEAR.FILE on replicated files. (These from the Administrators manual.) The second option we've looked at is some sort of disk replication. IBM recommends DRBD for use with DB2. Unfortunately, it seems that this would not provide referential integrity. The third option we looked at was a complicated mix of transaction logs and NFS mounts. Our standby box would be constantly updating itself off of the transaction logs of the primary. In the event of an outage, the standby comes up more or less updated and the dead primary can refresh itself off of the standby's logs when it comes back up. Does anyone have any experience getting around the shortcomings of UniVerse's replication?

RE: [U2] ODBC Difficulties
Rats, that was my best guess - unless it's some kind of "domain" type issue. (I don't give up easy do I?) Which version of the driver are you using? There were different drivers with the 6.0a and 6.0b client CD's, I might have even gotten a patched one from IBM. I always use the System DSN.
