So, if I understand correctly:
You have a JSF web application. The user connects to this application, and then the web page they are currently viewing in the browser communicates with a .NET application running on the local machine to enter data directly into one of the forms, trigger some sort of functionality and receive some data back as a response.
If that is what you want, I think you may be out of luck. I don't think that you will be able to get a web page running in a browser to interact with a client desktop application in that way. I'm pretty sure the browser security will prevent that but there might be some way round it.
I did find this page which might be of help as it seems to be addressing the same problem:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/126048/how-to-interact-between-web-app-and-windows-form-application[^]

Ok, what about using a smart client, will that work?
I think I should think of another architecture. I couldn't change the JSF web application. But I can try another means for the desktop client.
The client application is a biometric authentication application(uses face and fingerprint). The JSF web application uses this application for avoiding double registration in some system. there is also some data exchange between the two applications.
Can I develop it in ASP.net? I think it may be very slow as there is scanner and cammera interface and other computation.
Or what should i do?
The importtant thing is that the two projects should be deployed as one project(there should be some integration)

|
|
I am afraid, this is not going to work. From inside the web application you will not be able to access the client windows application and perform certain set of activities and data transaction. Where as the reverse is possible.
|
|
|
|
|
As a rule of thumb i would try to couple both projects as loose as possible. This makes that most future changes in one will not influence the other. So this leaves you with 2 questions for every way you can connect those projects:
1. Will it give you max. independance for both projects?
2. Gives the solution enough performance?
The technology that answers on both questions Yes is the one you're searching for...

Please suggest for following issues for a web based application in ASP.NET 3.5:
1.
There is requirement for approx 10 to 20 million records entry in the database daily, or we can say that there would be around entry of 10 lakh records per table on daily basis. What would be the best Database Design, Model & Architecture in MySQL database. Need proper optimization for quick retrieval, insertion, updates & deletion. Also provide the hardware detail that would required to handle such a large database in long term.
2.
There is a scenario of inventory management of advertisements on daily basis, if there are 100,000 locations and user booked these locations for 1 year then I need to insert/update 100,000 x 365 = 36500000 records/rows in the table to maintain daily inventory. Please suggest better solution & table structures.

It's part of the design. Consider this as an example;
If you have a Location-table like this;
Location Name
---------- -------
21 Floor
22 Cellar
23 Roofand a User-table;
Id Name
----- -----------
64 ajitsunny
66 E. Codd
67 Don Quichotte , with a Bookingstable like this;
Id BookedByUserId BookedLocationById BookingStart BookingEnd
----- ------------------- ---------------------- -------------- -----------
1 64 21 11.11.2011 12.11.2011
2 64 21 14.11.2011 16.11.2011
3 67 23 11.11.2011 13.11.2011
5 66 21 23.12.2012 31.12.2013
Then you can encode a booking with a single command, providing start and end-dates as parameters 
(e.g., like;)
INSERT
INTO Booking
VALUES ( 64, 21, '2011-11-11T00:00:00.000', '2011-11-12T00:00:00.000' )

If you need quick retrieval of data, a de-normalized database is often a good practise, as if you have normalized dB, there would be lots of joins,which are actually costly in terms of perfomance of queries.
On the other hand, if the preference of the application is user filling up form data and you dont want any redundancy in the database, then you should normalize the database tables.
It totally depends on the application need.

I my case we need to optimize two tables to stores very large number of records (in millions / billions) - just change the table structure and apply horizontal partitions on date range or no. of records. The new table structure should be able to minimize the records required to store.
1.
location_BookedAdvertisement (loc_id, advt_id, start_date, end_date, inventory_text)
And data would be like this for location_BookedAdvertisement table:
(12, 132, 2009-07-20, 2009-07-25, '1000~2000~5000~8900~3000')
This structure reduces the number of rows required to store 100,000 location's date wise assigned inventory by 364 times. Now I only need to store 100,000 rows instead of 100,000 x 365. So I am giving this table structure OK DONE. Also partition this table on no. of records such as 10 millions rows per partition.
2.
Now change the structure of tinventory table..
location_ inventory (loc_id, date, Total_available_inventory, booked_inventory)
.. to
location_ inventory (loc_id, year, Jan1, Jan2, Jan3, Jan4 ,.. ..., Dec29, Dec30, Dec31)
And data would be like this for location_ inventory table:
(12, 2009, '5000~2000', '10000~8900',... ...,'12000~2000','12000~2000','12000~2000')
Here within date column we have 'Total_available_inventory~booked_inventory'.
I know there would be 366 column in one table... but today I tested it.... SELECT / INSERT / UPDATE works very very fast as compared to in the earlier table structure. I'll partition this table year-wise i.e based on year column. And this table structure again reduces the required number of records by 364 time... i.e. to store one year inventory of 100,000 locations I would need to store only 100,000 rows.
This solution is acceptable.

Hello guys,
What was the name of the coding style used a lot in Hibernate?
I mean, where you would have several calls in one single instruction, as in:
SomeType obj = SomeClass.createInstance()
.SomeMethod()
.SomeOtherMethod()
.OneLastMethod();
I remember reading an article somewhere on the internet, but i can't find it back.
Thanks!

Nevermind, the term I'm looking for is "Method chaining"
|
|
|
|
|
If the chain reads like natural language, then the term for it now-a-days is "fluent programming."

Wow man, you are right that was the exact term I was looking for!

Im looking for documents(programming languages) that would guide me in creating an interface that reads network data. So i guess i should start by creating the interface or finding out how to read network data and input database.

You present yourself and your company as "too damn cheap to buy an ad". This kind of PR is bad branding and damaging to the image of your company 
Could they afford one?

Does the following C# code belong to a design pattern? If so, which one?
public class Fee
{
private Bar<Baz>.Getter myBaz = Bar<Baz>.GetAGetter();
public void Fi()
{
myBaz().DoStuff();
}
public void Fo()
{
myBaz().DoStuff();
}
}
public class Bar<T>
where T : new()
{
public delegate T Getter();
public static Getter GetAGetter()
{
T requestedItem = default(T);
return () =>
{
if (requestedItem == null)
{
requestedItem = new T();
}
return requestedItem;
};
}
}
public class Baz
{
public Baz()
{
}
public void DoStuff()
{
}
}
Bar returns a closure with an upvalue of type T. In this example, Fee's myBaz method will always return the same Baz object, and it won't be instantiated until the call to myBaz().DoStuff() during either the Fee.Fi() or Fee.Fo() method, whichever is called first.
So basically Bar provides lazy initialization of a Baz (in this case) to Fee (and presumably other classes). Do we have a name for this?
If this question has already been asked in this forum, please point me to the message.

At a quick glance, seems like a Singleton but a Generic Singleton Pattern. May I ask why it is important to know whether the pattern exists or not? Patterns come with time when they have proven to be successful solutions. What unique problem does your pattern above solve or why do you need such a pattern? Is it making things easier or harder?

I'm mostly curious. I'm wondering if such a pattern, or something similar (or better or more fully thought out) has emerged already in the community.
I know this code doesn't match a GOF pattern, and that it looks like a not-very-good singleton. You might call it a singleton for the calling scope of Bar.GetAGetter(). There's nothing to prevent two scopes from getting separate values though. Indeed, a single scope can get two separate values simply by calling Bar.GetAGetter() twice - each call returns a method that returns a distinct value. This is by design - it's not supposed to be a singleton.
Like I said, I think the value of Bar is that it encapsulates lazy instanciation. Since lazy instanciation is very common, and it takes 3-5 lines of code every time, and this replaces it with 1 line of code, encapsulating it seems like a good idea for all the usual code reuse reasons.
