Mike:

You list the items covered,


"It might be easier to answer that by listing what tools *are* described in the book:

Ant (not Maven)
CVS (not Subversion, though the commands are very similar)
CruiseControl
Java Web Start
JUnit
log4j
NSIS installer
RSS
Simple shell scripts and one Ruby script"



...but what about any QA (besides JUnit) tools - like Checkstyle or Clover - those are the things I'd like to integrate into my builds, however, the TOC looks like the book will be a good read.

Thanks,

Hello:

I updated the plugins mentioned above with the latest versions (maintenance release). After installing them I noticed that on the New --> Other screen where I assume the UML related projects/artifacts should be displayed I have the following:

%_UI_JETDevelopment
|
-- %_UI_JETConvertProject_label

and others listed in a similar fashion. So then I noticed that there were "duplicate" plugins in the plugins directory - the only thing making them different were a version tag or timestamp tag at the end of the plugin name. So trying to fix it I deleted the older plugins and removed the ending tag so that just the name of the plugin was left. I figured this would hose things up worse or fix it - it did nothing.

Is there a specific way to update these libraries? BTW, I tried to use the install view but it didn't help either.

Thanks,

I can not figure out how to generate table headers in JSF 1.1. I've attempted to used the panelGroup and facet tags to no avail...does anyone have an example of how to do this?

Thanks

Hello:

Not sure this will help you out but I found this code that uses 1.0 tags:
<f:use_faces>
<h:form formName="myForm">
<h:selectone_menu size="3"
valueRef="selectedCountryBean.selectedCountry">
<h:selectitems valueRef="countryListBean.countryList"/>
</h:selectone_menu>
<h:command_button commandName="submit" label="submit"/>
<hr>
You selected:
<h utput_text valueRef="selectedCountryBean.selectedCountry"/>
</h:form>
</f:use_faces>

...converting it to 1.1 looks like this:
<f:view>
<h:form id="myForm">
<h:selectOneMenu value="#{selectedCountryBean.selectedCountry}">
<f:selectItems value="#{countryListBean.countryList}"/>
</h:selectOneMenu>
<h:commandButton value="submit" />
<hr>
You selected: <h utputText value="#selectedCountryBean.selectedCountry}"/>
</h:form>
</f:view>

...I'm no guru but from what I gathered I thought the implementation knew that it had a collection so one didn't have to use an iterating tag or loop but I keep getting a NPE with this code...I haven't had time to figure it out yet.

I think that falls in the camp of "whether to use javascript at all argument" that, IMHO, always ends in a stalemate due to the individualism (is that a word :-) of each application. In my case, I solely develop for an intranet environment where everyting is controled and the app is one that is data intensive so for that case I wouldn't use the validation capability of JSF but maybe for a different situation I would. I'm not a hard-liner for anything...I like to keep my options open...use what best fits the need but thanks your opinion.

*Most* of today's IDEs comply with the Servlet spec as far as the web app deployment directory structure goes...for details read this http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/appdev/deployment.html

Has anyone played around with a JSF EJB implementation? I'm not sure I'm totally sold on the whole server-side validation concept when some javascript could take care of it but at the same time it would be nice to not have to worry about scripting some of the basic tedious checks.
Anyway, does the book cover such an implementation (JSF-EJB)? Even if it doesn't I'd like to hear about design recommendations.
Thanks

I don't *think* you would have to do much, if anything. I just started playing around with JSF via WSAD 5.1.1 and what it appears is that each vendor will supply their implementation of the spec. So Oracle might have its owm implememntion in JDeveloper. If you don't want to use a specific vendor's version that you could use Sun's...just make sure the resources are in Websphere's classpath.

A question for the author...I'm an intermediate java developer...having dabbled in swing, servlets and several java xml apis but master of none :-). One thing that interest me about this book is the Expression Parser example....one thng I've had to do alot is parse strings from other apps and I've been looking for a way to build a "configurable" parser - something I can resuse with different projects...will this example help me accomplish this?

Nate:
Thanks for the help. I ended up "shrinking" the size of the JDialog and that did the trick...I still don't understand why the other methods didn't work but I guess this will do.

The lInsets have the value 0, they're coming from the parent.

I'm trying to position a [child component] JDialog by using the setLocation(120,0), wDialog.setBounds(120 + lInsets.left,lInsets.top,wDialog.getWidth(),wDialog.getHeight()); but it keeps displaying partially off the screen, to the left.
TIA,
