For Java/JEE development, I am using IBM Rational Application Developer v7.5.4 (RAD) and IBM Rational Software Architect v7.5.4 (RSA). I think RAD/RSA v7.5.4 uses Eclipse 3.4.2. Not sure though.


Could you please clarify below questions:

1. Is Spring IDE(that we install as Eclipse Plugin thro' Eclipse Update site) and SpringSource Tool Suite (do we install STS as a Eclipse Plugin installation on top of IBM RAD/RSA v7.5.4) same ? If not what is the difference between the two in terms of installation/setup on top of an Eclipse installation like IBM RAD/RSA ?

2. I want to integrate Spring IDE support with IBM RAD/RSA. I have read quite a handful of posts on the issues involved in Spring IDE integration with IBM RAD/RSA.
Could you please tell me what is the right process of installing Spring IDE support with IBM RAD/RSA v7.5.4 ?
Is it through Spring IDE update site http://springide.org/updatesite/ ? If so will this update site install Spring IDE on IBM RAD/RSA v7.5.4 without any issues ?
or
Do I have to use SpringSource Tool Suite (STS) as a plugin installation on top of IBM RAD/RSA v7.5.4? If so what is the right process for it?


Appreciate your timely help.

Appreciate responses to this post from fellow Ranchers
I request you provide me guidance and help on designing and implementing a Java/JEE Application using UML along the way.

Here are our functional requirements for domain:
a. provide UI to Import a (map) file and store it in Database (a map is nothing but a text file which has bunch of records in it. Each line in the file is a record which contains 3 columns delemited by space)
b. provide UI to add/update/delte map file and able to create versions for a specific map file
c. provide UI to manage(add/update/delete) users, roles, user-role associations
d. provide UI to export the map file as .csv file, .excel file etc.

Due to some corporate governance and architectural decisions we decided to use these technologies:
JSF, Spring MVC, Spring JPA, Web Services, DB2

Can you please suggest me to how to design java components, java interfaces, java implementations etc., also using UML along the way?

Appreciate if you could please direct me to some good books or web links that can help in designing the java components/interfaces etc. using UML along the way?
We have a software maintanenace project consisting of a large enterprise java/j2ee based web application. We need to introduce Internationalization(i18n) support to this web application. This j2ee based web application uses technologies like java, oracle database, jsp, javascript, websphere v6.1 application server struts, web services, spring, xml, jms, ejb etc and this web application is mostly (oracle) database driven.

To this web application, we have to add internationalization(i18n) support for languages ike Spanish, French and later extend to other languages.

We have lot (around 50) javascripts files (.js) that are used by jsp files. Lot of string messages are hard coded in the .js files and we need to externalize these string messages to java property files and my question is how do we do that ? without impacting the application functionality. how do we externalize the hard coded string messages in .js files to java property files ? what is the optimal solution for my scenario which can reduce our development time in the process of refactoring the huge code base ?

Can you pleaes clarify ?
For our J2EE based enterprise web application, we use RAD 7.5 + WAS v6.1. We create the WAS v6.1 profile using a Jython script which creates/updates below resources while setting up a new WAS profile:

a. WebSphere variables
b. Service Integration Bus (SIB) & creates SIB destinations
c. Queue Connection Factories
d. Data Sources
e. JDBC Providers
f. JMS & JMS Queues/Topics
g. Listener Ports
h. JVM settings


Sometimes, we need to create the same profile on multiple machines and we want to reduce the time in creating the profiles on new machines and so thinking of using the Export/Import WAS Profile feature provided by WAS as told here http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rcss=faqtt_2Q09&uid=swg21207526.
However I have a doubt whether this export/import process works successfully if we have resources like SIB destinations and other resources like as mentioned in the above points a to h.

Can you please clarify.

I started working on a new assignment of Struts based maintenance J2EE project. I am new to Struts and having some trouble understanding the code and I seek Struts expers help here .

Basically we need to add Internationalization support to the existing Struts based code and here I am trying to show Japanese characters in the browser.



my jsp code looks like below:









globaltech-formatter.tld






struts-customer.xml







What I did ?


1.
I started creating a new file using the Notepad editor on Windows XP . The file is then saved as type "Unicode Big Endian"
Next, using the native2ascii utility from JDK 1.4 SDK, I use the following command to convert this file to an ASCII file:
native2ascii -encoding UnicodeBig CustomerResources_zh.ucd CustomerResources_zh.properties
The resulting output CustomerResources_zh.properties contains the required escape code.
I am using this file CustomerResources_zh.properties in my web project.

2.
In my internet explorer, Tools --> Internet Options --> Languages tab, I added the language "Chinese (Hong Kong S.A.R.) [zh-HK]"


3.
When I fire a request to my jsp, I see garbage character in my browser instead of chinese characters.
I tried to even add this line
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=utf-8" %>
to top of my jsp file but still no use.





Can you please clarify what I am missing here and how to add i18n support for Chinese locale to my existing Struts based code ?
