Yeh, that is all what the wrapper interface is meant to achieve, just perform the authentication using LDAP and invoke the .net app (this is a third party app with their own login screen that we want to bypass)

I have a requirement to invoke a desktop .net application from a wrapper, which is mainly required for authenticating user's login details using ldap. Although the best option would be to use would be VB.NET but I do not have any experience on that.

Would it be possible to use Java to invoke this desktop .net application?

Please advice.

Could someone highlight the main dfferences between Hibernate and Ibatis, and scenarios where they would be preferred over each other.

the deployment of a tapestry application isn't much different from a normal web app

better not take Niranjan's advice, who thinks 65+25 is 85!!

Is there anyone who can help me with tapestry? I'm trying to create a basic hello world example using tapestry but having problems. I'm using eclipse and the container is tomcat 5.5

thanks in advance

Another good book you could refer is:

SCWCD Exam Study Kit
Java Web Component Developer Certification
By Hanumant Deshmukh and Jignesh Malavia

It's not as funny as the 'Head First' one though!

Enjoy!

It is generally considered incorrect to use asserts to check the values passed in as parameters to a public method.

Why is this restriction to public methods only?

Cheers Barry

Why is it that the Inner classes when created inside a method are able to refer to only the member variables/method parameters declared final in that method?

got it!

Cheers Ben - I'm using Tomcat and could find servlet-api.jar as well but since I was using eclipse I never had to set the classpath before!! I tried setting it just now but its not working :-(

this is how I created the classpath environment variable:

variable name: CLASSPATH
variable value: C:\Program Files\Java\j2sdk1.5.0\bin;C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\common\lib\servlet-api

Thanks

I'm quite new to servlets and have just started reading K&B's book on it. I was trying to create a servlet on my eclipse but it doesn't allow me to import the servlet package.

I have j2sdk1.5.0 installed on my machine. What else am I missing? please suggest.

you guys will cruise through as well, no probs - will bring over my certification books and cd's tomorrow.. it'll be fun
