ONJava.com: Demonstrating Spring's Finesse: "The Spring framework uses a validation framework similar to Struts. Spring lets you configure validation logic like any other business component."
Spring Live ~ Weblog: "[BeanValidatorBuilder] Allows Validation via Spring's IoC, Groovy/Beanshell or Java"
Chapter 4. PropertyEditors, data binding, validation and the BeanWrapper: "The big question is whether or not validation should be considered business logic. There are pros and cons for both answers, and Spring offers a design for validation (and data binding) that does not exclude either one of them. Validation should specifically not be tied to the web tier, should be easy to localize and it should be possible to plug in any validator available. Considering the above, Spring has come up with a Validator interface that's both basic and usable in every layer of an application."

Frequently Asked Questions: I get an error saying: Cannot use classic compiler, as it is not available: "In order to compile the Prowler source code, the ANT build environment needs access to the Java Compiler class which is part of tools.jar in JDK 1.2 or greater. (to be found in [java-home]/lib/tools.jar): SET CLASSPATH=%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar;%CLASSPATH%" - The same problem appears when building BSF with JavaScript support, so I've built it using:
C:\javadev\bsf-dev>java -cp C:\j2sdk1.4.2_07\lib\tools.jar;.\lib\xerces-1.4.4.jar;.\lib\velocity-1.4-dev.jar;.\lib\log4j-1.1.3.jar;.\lib\js.jar;.\lib\jdom-b8.jar;.\lib\commons-collections-2.0.jar;.\lib\ant-1.4.1.jar; org.apache.tools.ant.Main -Dant.home=%ANT_HOME%

HttpKeepAlive: "Under HTTP 1.1, the official keepalive method is different. All connections are kept alive, unless stated otherwise with the following header: Connection: close. The Connection: Keep-Alive header no longer has any meaning because of this. Additionally, an optional Keep-Alive: header is described, but is so underspecified as to be meaningless. Avoid it." - E.g. test to proove it:
C:\>curl -I -H "Connection: Close" "http://tomcat:8080/REST/my.jsp"
vs.
C:\>curl -I "http://tomcat:8080/REST/my.jsp"
Use CURL instead of Lynx, as Lynx would always close the connection!
C:\>curl -I -H "Connection: Close" "http://tomcat:8080/REST/my.jsp"
vs.
C:\>curl -I "http://tomcat:8080/REST/my.jsp"
Use CURL instead of Lynx, as Lynx would always close the connection!
java.net: Java Sketchbook: Getting Started With Scripting: "Think of all of the web sites that use JavaScript. Not just the professional sites that use prefab libraries, but also the one-off pages done by complete novices. A little validation here, a bit of animation there; it's all done in JavaScript. Now think of Konfabulator and Apple's upcoming Dashboard. These are applications designed from the ground up to allow novice programmers to build simple but attractive systems."
<b-frame>: "Do you sometimes have the feeling that you're always going to write the same application, an application doing nothing more than reading some data from a database, displaying it to a user, enabling the user to modify the data, and than writing the modified data back to the database? ...The framework is the answer to these questions. is based on the following assumption: The structure of an application doesn't depend on a particular programming environment..."

Server Configuration Reference - The HTTP Connector: "maxKeepAliveRequests - The maximum number of HTTP requests which can be pipelined until the connection is closed by the server. Setting this attribute to 1 will disable HTTP/1.0 keep-alive, as well as HTTP/1.1 keep-alive and pipelining. Setting this to -1 will allow an unlimited amount of pipelined or keep-alive HTTP requests. If not specified, this attribute is set to 100."
Mapping of REST to JMS: "Timeouts: ... Couple this with HTTP 1.1 keep-alive sockets and pipeline processing we can have efficient access to JMS over HTTP."

PhpServlet: "If you are developing JSPs and servlets you might sometimes find some old php scripts and projects that you probably would like to run on your server. But the servlet engine does not work with php, so you have to download and install Apache, configure php, configure the servlet engine connector or worse use different ports and so on. It would be nice to get php running on Tomcat or any other servlet engine, just for development purposes."

planning your xbox retirement - hack a day - www.hackaday.com _: "Xbox-Linux installs have become fairly easy; You no longer have to crack open the case. You can buy or build a simple usb adapter to upload a 2MB file on to the Xbox by using an exploit in MechAssault. After that you can boot a live Linux cd. Even after this your Xbox will still be able to play games. What you can do with it is up to you imagination.
- Use it as a front end for mythtv
- Tuck it in a closet as a headless server
- Install a variety of distros, like Gentoo
- Upgrade the ram, hard disk, and add vga out
- Install OSX as mentioned previously
- You could even build a cluster
The best place to start on this journey is the xbox-linux wiki."

TomsNetworking: "is running a two part series on how to crack WEP. WEP was pretty much broken from the early days of wireless networking. For starters the key length is misleading; a 64-bit key only has 40 unique bits. Some manufactures implemented poor random number generation. The seeds for the numbers are also reused which would never happen in good cryptography. This article covers the techniques the the feds used when they cracked a WEP key in three minutes. This works by grabbing a properly encrypted packet and then constantly sending it back to the access point generating more traffic. The more traffic you can capture the faster you can crack the network. Check out the article. I’ll be trying this out in the future when I get a Prism2 card and that DirecTV antenna wired up... Thankfully, the Auditor's Security Collection, which we reviewed last year, is a live CD that has all of these tools already installed. Even the FBI likes this distribution." - START

Asterisk on OpenWRT part 2 - Lest Blood Be Shed: "There has been a lot of interest in the geek-world about being able to have a complete telco (more than just a PBX) system on hardware that costs less than $80US. In that vein, it seems like Saint Joseph's College is the heart-beat of that movement and my blog which outlines a simplified how-to install the bugger is getting a lot of attention out in the blogosphere. Because of this (and some question I have received) I thought I would put together a more formal and informed 'howto' for installing Asterisk on a Linksys WRT GS box (I think it works for the G but I don't have one to test). This is the wiki entry for Asterisk on OpenWRT."
Just A Guy - Adam Gurno » Tricking out the Hipster: "Enter the Hipster PDA. Not only does it solve the problems above, it’s easily an order of magnitude cheaper.

Aslak Hellesoy's uncommon sense - Ajax with JavaScript Templates: "A second approach is to use XPath in JavaScript to pull out bits of pieces of the XML and modify small pieces of the DOM to fill them in... But wait - the template engine now has to sit inside the browser! And this is where I discovered JavaScript Templates... Now add AOP to Javascript and the Ajax approach gets even more powerful. An example approach is at: http://www.jroller.com/page/deep/20030701" - COOL!
