May I suggest someone correct the "Community and support" page on jforum.net.  That page tells a person to come here, to coderanch.com for support.

I see 7 different CCS.  How can I switch to a different CSS?

This happened more than once.  Each time I needed to try again I just started a new internet browser session and the problem seemed to go away.

One more detail I forgot to add.  The HTTP access log.

[28/Jul/2016:09:56:56 -0400] "POST /jforum/install/install.page HTTP/1.1" 200 5033  (now you see it)
[28/Jul/2016:09:56:58 -0400] "POST /jforum/install/install.page HTTP/1.1" 404 - (now you don't)

Fedora 23
TomEE 1.7.4 (tomcat 7.0.68)
JForums 2.4.1

The install returns a blank screen after the Verify Configuration page.  See attached screen capture.

The issue was with the DataSource name.  For TomEE I had to use "openejb:Resource/jdbc/usqueForumsDS".

Now the install just hangs.  I will open another thread since it is a new problem.

Fedora 23
JForums jforum-2.4.1.war
TomEE 1.7.4 (tomcat 7.0.68)
MariaDB 10.0.23-MariaDB MariaDB Server

TomEE startup log says...
Jul 27, 2016 7:54:23 PM org.apache.openejb.assembler.classic.Assembler createRecipe
INFO: Creating Resource(id=usqueForumsDS)
With no errors.

JForums install says...
Name [usqueForumsDS] is not bound in this Context. Unable to find [usqueForumsDS].

Where do I start to find the cause?

What was the goal of creating two sources for code (XML & Java)? Is one more suited for one platform type over another? (e.g. SmartPhones vs. Desktops) Are there any published rules of thumb about when to Java and when to use FXML?

How does one defend "Pragmatic Unit Testing" over "Through Unit Testing" To me it seems like the assumption that a developer can guess what needs to be tested puts a lot of faith on a human. If I, as a developer, was so good at writing code that I knew what needed testing, it implies why bother testing at all? I know, as a developer, where my errors will occur in the first place, just don't make the errors in the first place.

Is it possible to create an EJB that reads a resource reference for an environment variable on a periodic basis? I want to change environment variable at runtime and have the EJB pick up on the change without re-cycling the EJB. An article or code snippet would be great.

TIA
I have some code that uses sun.misc.BASE64Decoder. I need the jar. Where can I download it from? Sun developer and Google were no help.

With all due respect I disagree. When Java and J2EE�s biggest weak point is performance speed, one cannot afford to use workarounds that slow an application down further. I don�t have a study to site, but I think you would agree with me in saying that any SQL92 is faster at getting data then Session Bean methods sorting a Collection. There is no way marshalling data and un-marshalling all the field attributes of an object can be faster then a SQL SELECT looking at the values in one field for a Finder method to do a SQL Group By or SQL Order By. Until EJB-QL has 90%-95% of the functionality of SQL92 CMP J2EE will not live up to its potential. From what I am reading Group By and Having are not in the draft of EJB 2.1.
MacroMedia's JRun version 4.
In an effort to find a work around I tried
SUBSTRING(object.cmpFieldName, ?1, ?2) = ?3
and that is not supported by the spec. either!
SUBSTRING() does not take replacement tokens.
