Is there a java equivalent to ruby gems? I understand that a java jar file is similar, but is there an equivalent java technology where you can download a library from a central repository, have it resolve any dependencies, and install it for you automatically?

I just checked the status of the JRuby project and it looks like it is coming along really well. Does Rails work in JRuby?

I tried putting the html:form tag in a tile, but it didn't like it when the starting tag and closing tag were in different tiles.

JSP includes and tiles are conceptually the same, right? What would be different about putting it in an include vs. a tile?

Is it possible to have the action attribute of the <html:form> be dynamic? My issue is this. I'm using tiles for a page that has 4 common parts and 1 specific part. I want to reuse this page 7 times and swap out the specific part each time. My problem is that it contains a form which starts within the first common part. So, I would like to figure out a way to make the action attribute contain a dynamic target based on which page I'm on. Is that possible?

Do you have access to an web container so you could write it yourself? It would be pretty simple to do.

I believe it's the package in general that deals with the integration of tomcat with other web servers(IIS, apache, etc).

You could use the Jdbc-Odbc Bridge-

The driverName is sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
The URL would look something like jdbc dbc:<connection name>

Is there any advantage in Tomcat of having the same protocol (HTTP | HTTPS) listen on multiple ports since they will all go to the same container?

What's the advantage to having more than one connector if they both process connections for the same container?

Are you wanting to do this via a redirect? response.sendRedirect(url)?

It appears like the client lost connection or the connection dropped sometime during the protocol handshaking. Since HTTPS is a stateful protocol (a connection is maintained between the browser and the server) it will perform worse than standard HTTP. It appears that this problem is aggravating that.

Well, yes and no. It can be listening on one port for HTTP and another for HTTPS, for example. But I don't think it can listen using the HTTP transport on multiple protocols, for example.

Are there any plans to integrate tomcat and geronimo?

It looks like that problem is not related to using the Struts custom-tag. But for future reference you do need to add the directive to the page to reference the tag as well as a reference to it in web.xml.

As for this problem, try putting another file in there that is static (html, image, etc) and hitting that. Or try just browsing the directory.

It's very possible that your ISP has you behind a firewall and will not allow incoming connections if they were not in some way initiated from within their firewall.
