Apache's Click Framework

Apache Click is a modern JEE web application framework that is designed to be very easy to learn and use. When ever I get time I am planning write a small application using this framework. After going through the "Why Click?" link on its homepage I got convinced with the framework's goals and aspirations.

Eclipse Color Themes

Today while I was going through the source code of a big project I thought of changing background color from white to black and as well the font color. Instantly I google on this topic and got very good links on apply various themes in Eclipse. I thought of sharing them with you. I played them with and finally settled with "Green-Pintado" theme from the following link as of now:


http://code.google.com/p/editor-color-themes/downloads/list

Before importing an epf please remember to take a backup copy of your existing preferences (I suggest to take a backup of your entire settings directory).

Basically changing the color involves changing the following two files:


[workspace]\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\org.eclipse.jdt.ui.prefs
[workspace]\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\org.eclipse.ui.editors.prefs

Here are the some more links:

Appcelerator's Titanium Development Platform

Recently I landed at Titanium an open source development platform that allows to develop cross-platform native applications easily.

I believe this is the first time a product has been developed that allows us to develop cross-platform native applications for Desktops, Mobile and Tablets using existing web skills like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Ruby, Python, PHP, etc.

I will start experimenting with Titanium from mid of next week and will keep posting on the same :)






Comodo's Time Machine

Recently I have downloaded and installed Comodo's Time Machine 100% free Data Recovery product and got stunned with its features.

It is very easy to create a snapshot and it alows us to login to console to perform data recovery during system startup :)

I recommend everyone to try this product.

Issue: Having a Web Service Clent and Web Services within the same project

Hi,

Strangely we have observed an issue when we generated a Web Service client within in the same project where we have Web Servcies hosted using JAX-WS in NetBeans in Tomcat.

For example: Let's assume that in a project named "xyz" we have two Web Services namely FirstWS.java and SecondWS.java with two Web Service operations in each.

Now if we generate a Web Service client for FirstWS.java within the same project in NetBeans using JAX-WS API and its wizard it is impacting SecondWS.java. What I mean by impacting is we are not able to get properly Request and Response elements for SecondWS.java.

Strangely if we generate a Web Service client for SecondWS.java then we are not facing this issue. This issue here is in a single project if we are exposing 2 or more Web Services and in the same project if we have Web Service clients for only few of them then it impacs the other exposed Web Services.

For a workaround what we did was to have a separate project for consuming Web Services.

Do not know what is the root cause for this

No /public within .rhtml files and Make your table columns Sortable easily

Hi,

Today I was working on a task to sort a HTML table. During this task, I came to know a lot particularly:

  • We should not put /public to refer javascripts from .rhtml files
  • I have used sortTable.js file to sort my dynamic table which is available at: http://www.delphifaq.com/faq/web_publishing/f1056.shtml this is quite easy to use
