I have recently been re-introduced to Eclipse at a NoFluffJustStuff Java Symposium. The speaker on refactoring was using Eclipse to do it. It looked very slick.

I am currently working with Weblogic's Workshop, so my question is, is learning Eclipse useful in my situation? I know in theory, the answer is yes, because knowing how another IDE works wouldn't be a bad thing. Given my time constraints though, is it a useful career move? Again, I suspect the answer may be yes given the continued growth in the acceptance of Eclipse.

Any thoughts are appreciated,
Sharon
Good Luck! and congrats.

This is going to sound like a silly question....AND...
With JSF ui components is it possible to render in something other than HTML? Specifically, I am thinking WML.
Related to that, can the framework be used to provide Web Services?

JSP
Bill,
I am a bit confused and perhaps you can clear this up for me.
From the information on the amazon entry for your book...
"This innovative book arms you with the tools to utilize JavaServer Faces (JSF), a new standard that will make building user interfaces for J2EE� applications a lot easier."
Would that not mean that JSF would be the V in the M-V-C pattern? And Struts be the C? For that matter, you could use a different framework for the C and continue to use JSF?
Thanks,
Sharon

JSP
I have the need to take an xml data source and do a transform with an xsl template.
I have written it as a servlet and as a custom tag. Both work.
My question is, when would be best to implement it as a servlet and when would it be best to implement it as a custom tag?
The servlet is currently being used by multiple sites that need the transformed data (we return the data in html or wml format as requested).
The custom tag is a proof-of-concept implementation. I wasn't quite sure how to do it and wanted to see if I could. It would (yes, life is subject to change, but for this round...) always be called from a JSP.
Does this seem right? Are their resource issues to take into account?
Any insight is appreciated,
Sharon

Vincent,
With your background, does your book take the point of view of an agile developer? Or can it be applied to a more "traditional" development environment?
Thanks,

Thanks everyone. I do like this process.

As a student on the cattle drive, I value a place to learn more java and even more so the experience of the code review process.
We have recently added structured code reviews to the process at work and I wanted to get more experience so that I can stay emotionally neutral during the reviews at work. The cattle drive has been helpful in shifting my mindset so I can separate my ego from my code, not always an easy thing to do. My company was willing to pay for the registation because I presented it as an on-line class, which it is, and my manager was open to alternative ways of learning.
Regards,
Sharon

I have used Ant to compile and produce war files.
It is open-source available through apache.org

That is the question.
In general, should we be testing to make sure that an argument has been entered?

Can anyone recommend a good place to read up on Date, DateFormat, Calendar?
I have a very basic understanding on how to deal with dates and I would like to learn more. The books I have touch on it but the examples don't do a great job and I end up struggling on how to malipulate dates.
I do not have a specific situation right now, just trying to increase my understanding beyond the very simple.
Thanks,
Sharon

In the "a = a+b" example it doesn't matter, really. But if it's something like
code:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
aMemberObjectArray[3].theMembersMember = aMemberObjectArray[3].theMembersMember + 2;
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Ignoring the encapsulation and Demeter issues) I would say that the "+=" form would be vastly preferable, because it saves you from determining if the two expressions are the same or not.


This case makes sense. Generally I prefer a = a + 1, but in your above case += would be clearer.
