Hi All,
I am looking for a reputed place around the Bay Area to learn Apache tomcat. Online courses would also do. I googled around but could not find any places with good reviews, so asking the ranchers' help. Sorry if this not the right forum...

PS: I know there is a lot of documentation, but I am looking for either online training (self-paced videos would be great) or classroom based training.

Thank you, as always

Vikram

There is a common practice when you pay by card, that there is a tick-box already ticked, so it defaults to “keep my subscription going”. I know a lot of people who are annoyed about that. I suspect it is counter-productive, that the companies garner lots of bad feeling when people find it awkward to cancel.
I once had the opposite problem, where I wanted a subscription to continue, and it was cancelled because I had a new card and the details didn’t get through properly.

I think the powers-that-be at the ranch ought to take a stand and let their sponsors know that they need to allow people to opt out of auto-renewals at subscription time and not make us jump hoops to cancel auto-renewal...I am considering subscribing to learnnowjava after learning from the newsletters, but will take my business to any other honest service provider with more upfront sales practices. Any suggestions, please?

I got a response from them today that the subscription has been lowered to $49/yr the rest of this month. Here's my question and their response about auto-renewals. The videos look good, but I don't like encouraging these bad sales practices...

3) Auto-renewal: I really do not like being forced into this auto-renewal business and usually skip any service provider that chooses to offer this without an opt-out option, but I am considering your site because it was promoted by coderanch (I trust them).
You can cancel your subscription at any time to remove the auto renewal. When you cancel the auto renewal is removed and you will retain access for the remainder of your subscription year. If you chose to renew the fee would be whatever the listed price is on our website at the time of purchase.

Bear, yes, the Servlet is invoked.

William, I am looking into the code to see if response streams are being closed. The displayed page is made up of chunks of data processed by different classes and then combined together, so, there are plenty of places for me to check, thanks for the good lead!

Hi All,

I have a servlet application running on JRUN\IIS and intermittently the servlet displays a blank page and then a IE page refresh displays the page correctly. I don't see anything unusual in the logs either.

I know the information above might be too generic, but I am hoping to getting some direction, if at all, on possible places to look at, from those that might have encountered such issues or "gurus" with incredible imagination.

Note: I will understand if this thread is ignored for want of code information, but I can't post any specific details of the application except that it is a normal servlet that tries to access a DB and displays data...

Hi, I tried in vain searching in forums for help with how the change the color of ScrollpPne knob (The scrollbar controller knob). Can someone please let me know?

I apologise if it wasnt clear enough...The Regular Expression I tried was \[.*\]|\s\d\d?\s hoping to extract [12/22/09 22:23:57:357 MST] 10 from string "[12/22/09 22:23:57:357 MST] Some junk text that I am not interested in or not required. There is/are 10 more junk text", but it isn't working as expected. It extracts only [12/22/09 22:23:57:357 MST] (including the square brackets), but not the number (10).

Hi,
String s= "[12/22/09 22:23:57:357 MST] Some junk text that I am not interested in or not required. There is/are 10 more junk text"

From the above string, I would like to extract the time (stuff between []) and the number (10 in this case) that would look like this;
[12/22/09 22:23:57:357 MST] 10

I tried using the RE \[.*\]|\s\d\d?\s, but the problem is I get [12/22/09 22:23:57:357 MST] when I use \[.*\] and 10 when I use \s\d\d?\s, but when I combine them with a "|", I get only the date. I tried searching forums in vain, but am stuck. Any help is appreciated.

I got it now. Thank you.

Hi, sorry if this is a lame question that I already ought to know (or has already been answered)
Given Strings s1 and s2, I was wondering what the real difference between s1 == s2 and s1.equals(s2) is

public class StringEqualsTest { public static void main(String[] args) { String s1 = "Hello World"; String s2 = "Hello World"; String s3 = "Below Borls"; if ( s1 == s2 ) { System.out.println("s1 == s2"); } if ( s1.equals(s2) ) { System.out.println(s1+ " equals " +s2); } System.out.println("s1 hashcode = "+s1.hashCode()); System.out.println("s2 hashcode = "+s2.hashCode()); } }
In my understanding, s1 == s2 must fail since they are two separate objects, but when I run the code, both if conditions pass & Hash codes are equal too...
