Speed typing tips.
Here
are a some basic tips, summarized from various typing tutorials and
lessons. These tips are useful for taking tests as well as everyday
keyboarding:
- Tap on each key crisply but lightly. If you use minimum force (don't bang on the keys), your fingers will move faster.
- Type as quickly as you are able, but don't "try" too hard or force your speed or you'll make many mistakes.
- Relax!
- Use proper posture, sit upright.
- Keyboard/monitor positioning: your wrist, elbows and keyboard should be on the same horizontal plane, and at a 90 degree angle to your upper arms.
- The top of your screen should be near eye level.
- Stretch your wrists and fingers before starting a typing test (don't laugh, it does help!).

I love log4j
Logging is a very useful thing. Without this most of our java softwares are like black boxes. The major problems we face is setting up the log4j. Also trying to decipher the cryptic clues is annoying, like say log4j WARNING No appenders could be found. Who has time to fix these issues.. Well it pays of well if you fix it as I said u cant fix a software problem without seeing what is happening inside. It will be like the movie HAPPENING(Should have been what is happening) ... A few tricks to get the log4j setup: Passing VM arguments -Dlog4j.configuration=file:C:/development/projects/webapp/target/classes/log4j.properties -Dlog4j.debug=true .....Excellent option to know what is happening inside log4j. commonly used log4j.properties is below: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- log4j.rootLogger=debug, stdout, R log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout # Pattern to output the caller's file name and line number. log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%5p [%t] (%F:%L) - %m%n log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender log4j.appender.R.File=example.log log4j.appender.R.MaxFileSize=100KB # Keep one backup file log4j.appender.R.MaxBackupIndex=1 log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%p %t %c - %m%n ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- More log to come here...

Working with microsoft DLL,ODBC connection and IIS for a java developer
DLL's are dynamic link library. They are like .jar files in java.
Normally the error we get in dll's are due to dependency on other dll's. Tools like dependency walker and dll explorer come for the rescue.
To register a dll use(like loading jars to JVM)
IIS
To unit test a package in the dll create a x.vb file with the below code:
set testobj = nothing
set testobj = createobject("IMPORT.Job")
msgbox "PR: " & testobj.PathRemoved("C:\development\miscellaneous\COM\testmdb")
if(testobj.DeleteFile ("C:\development\miscellaneous\COM\test.mdb"))Then
msgbox "Deleted your file!"
End if
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oracle connection through microsoft:
update \oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora
Go to control panel-- datasourc(ODBC) connections --add new connection in first tab.Select database name and auth details.Do a test connection. Thats it
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I need to set a number of environment variables via a bat file currently I m executing as below.
The user environment variables are updated but I want to set the system ones, what do I have to do.
Also when I try to add paths to the path variable I get an error
@echo on
setx IT_CONFIG_DOMAINS_DIR=C:\Program Files\IONA\etc\domains
Normally the error we get in dll's are due to dependency on other dll's. Tools like dependency walker and dll explorer come for the rescue.
To register a dll use(like loading jars to JVM)
regsvr32 [DLL path]
also
rundll32 [dll path]
also
rundll32 [dll path]
IIS
- IIS is web server provided by microsoft.
- For the IIS we need to configure the components.
- For this, go to control panel-- admin tools --computer mgmt --component services -- computer--my computer -- COM+ applications -- new application --Add users and imports ...Thats it the IIS will pick it up...

Maven - an expert .
Basics set MAVEN_HOME mvn install mvn clean install mvn package -Dmaven.test.skip=true mvn surefire-report:report mvnrepository.com It downloads the repository to c:\Documents and Settings\[USER]\.m2\repository Intermediate Setting up maven based projects into eclipse Eclipse needs to find the Maven-downloaded jars for compilation. Under Preferences > Java > Build Path > Classpath Variable M2_REPO should be set to ..\.m2\repository Run mvn eclipse:clean --- dletes .class and .project files mvn eclipse:eclipse --- creates .class and .project files using pom.xml (recursively) Thats it. Advanced Steps to create an archetype project: Use below to create a sample archetype meta project. />mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=[com.biomedcentral] -DartifactId=[archetype-spring-jar] -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-archetype Update the archetype [archetype-spring-jar]\src\main\resources\META-INF\maven\archetype.xml Keep all the relevant resource in the [archetype-spring-jar]\src\main\resources\archetype-resources\... and update the archetype with its reference. Install the archetype project itself: />mvn install Now time to use this project generator: mvn archetype:create -DarchetypeGroupId=-DarchetypeArtifactId= Very useful-DarchetypeVersion= -DgroupId= -DartifactId= This is amazing...From an existing architecture u can clone yours ... A sample command using above for spring hibernate is below: #mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=com.webtide -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-SpringJpa -DarchetypeVersion=1.0 -DgroupId=c om.my.package -DartifactId=ImageLibraryCategoryManager mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:1.0-alpha-7:create -DgroupId=com.my -DartifactId=springmvc-hibernate-app -DarchetypeArtifactId=appfuse-basic-spring -DarchetypeGroupId=org.appfuse.archetypes A bit on Maven Plugins: 1. maven-dependency-plugin : http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/ Debug maven : http://tech.puredanger.com/2009/02/25/maven-tips/ for copying dependency jars for a standalone app,etc. Reference: http://mevenide.codehaus.org/ -- plugin for eclipse http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-attached-tests.html http://www.webtide.com/resources.jsp --samples For springmvc-hibernate archetypes use http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Archetypes+List http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-creating-archetypes.html

Code Generator
Tiny drops of water makes a mighty ocean.
So here is my first few drops ;)
I just started off with a project in source forge. Though its life cycle is going at a snail's pace, i hope to get it done sometime. The project link is http://sourceforge.net/projects/lifegen/
Here is the plan for this simple code generator for web application development(used freemind software for planning this).
More to come soon....

Cobertura- junit coverage tool
First, you need to add a task definition to the build.xml file. This top-level
taskdefelement specifies that the cobertura.jar file is in the current working directory:<taskdef classpath="cobertura.jar" resource="tasks.properties" /> For eclipse IDE, you need to add the cobertura.jar, junit.jar in the global path of Ant through Eclipse--} preferences--} Ant --} Global entry.Next, you need a
cobertura-instrumenttask that adds the logging code to the already compiled class files. Thetodirattribute instructs where to put the instrumented classes. Thefilesetchild element specifies which .class files to instrument:<target name="instrument"> <cobertura-instrument todir="target/instrumented-classes"> <fileset dir="target/classes"> <include name="**/*.class"/> </fileset> </cobertura-instrument> </target>You run the tests with the same type of Ant task that normally runs the test suite. The only differences are that the instrumented classes need to appear in the classpath before the original classes, and you need to add the Cobertura JAR file to the classpath:
<target name="cover-test" depends="instrument"> <mkdir dir="${testreportdir}" /> <junit dir="./" failureproperty="test.failure" printSummary="yes" fork="true" haltonerror="true"> <formatter type="plain" usefile="false"/> <!-- Normally you can create this task by copying your existing JUnit target, changing its name, and adding these next two lines. You may need to change the locations to point to wherever you've put the cobertura.jar file and the instrumented classes. --> <classpath location="cobertura.jar"/> <classpath location="target/instrumented-classes"/> <classpath> <fileset dir="${libdir}"> <include name="*.jar" /> </fileset> <pathelement path="${testclassesdir}" /> <pathelement path="${classesdir}" /> </classpath> <batchtest todir="${testreportdir}"> <fileset dir="src/java/test"> <include name="**/*Test.java" /> <include name="org/jaxen/javabean/*Test.java" /> </fileset> </batchtest> </junit> </target>>The Jaxen project uses JUnit as its test framework, but Cobertura is framework agnostic. It works equally well with TestNG, Artima SuiteRunner, HTTPUnit, or the home-brewed system you cooked up in your basement.
Finally, the
cobertura-reporttask generates the HTML files you saw at the beginning of the article:<target name="coverage-report" depends="cover-test"> <cobertura-report srcdir="src/java/main" destdir="cobertura"/> </target>The
srcdirattribute specifies where the original .java source code files reside. Thedestdirattribute names the directory where Cobertura should place the output HTML.Once you've added similar tasks to your own Ant build file, you generate a coverage report by typing:
% ant instrument % ant cover-test % ant coverage-report

Internationalization utility
This uses jericho HTML parses.
This utility is just to extract static text out of a HTML/JSP and put in the property file. The static text is replaced with [spring:message key="xyz /].

This utility is just to extract static text out of a HTML/JSP and put in the property file. The static text is replaced with [spring:message key="xyz /].
Just provide input and output folders and all the i18n message are extracted to srcFolder\messages_en_US.properties file and JSP/HTML are updated.

internationalization support in spring -usage
Spring Internationalization web MVC
1. Add two properties files in /WEB-INF/classes:
1) messages_zh_CN.properties Chinese message file.
2) messages_en_US.properties English message file.
2. Add bean in action-servlet.xml:
[bean id="localeResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.AcceptHeaderLocaleResolver"/]
Spring will set UI language locale and message according to the client-side browser locale configuration.
3. JSP files
1. [fmt:message key="key1"/]
2. Error message
[spring:bind path="account.password"]
[input type="password" name="${status.expression}" value="${status.value}"/]
[span class="fieldError"]${status.errorMessage}[/span]
[/spring:bind]
3. button
[input type="submit" class="button" name="prev" value="[fmt:message key="prev"/]" /]
Spring Internationalization for portlet MVC
1. Add two properties files in /WEB-INF/classes:
1) messages_zh_CN.properties -Chinese message file.
The Java properties files are created using a native encoding or in UTF-8. This must be converted to an ascii format for Java. This is done as part of the extraction process on the translation website but if you have a manually created file in UTF-8 that needs to be encoded, then use the native2ascii command that comes with with Java JDK.
Call native2ascii to ascii encoding, specifying the original file has UTF-8 encoding:
Eg: native2ascii.exe -encoding UTF-8 chinese_zh.txt ApplicationResource_zh_CN.properties
2) messages_en_US.properties -English message file.
2. Update applicationContext.xml file as below:
- Replace the static text in JSP files with
[spring:message code=”key1”/] where key1 is the key available in message_xx.properties file
Note :The Java properties files are created using a native encoding or in
UTF-8. This must be converted to an ascii format for Java. This is done
as part of the extraction process on the translation website but if you
have a manually created file in UTF-8 that needs to be encoded, then
use the native2ascii command that comes with with Java JDK.
Call native2ascii to ascii encoding, specifying the original file has UTF-8 encoding:
native2ascii.exe -encoding UTF-8 chinese_zh.txt ApplicationResource_zh_CN.properties
Ref: http://wiki.lamsfoundation.org/display/lams/LAMS+i18n
The below JSP is Useful to troubleshoot locale related issues:
[%
//java.util.Locale locale = (java.util.Locale)request.getSession().getAttribute
("org.apache.struts.action.LOCALE");
Locale locale = renderRequest.getLocale();
String language = locale.getLanguage();
String country = locale.getCountry();
out.println(language +" "+country);
// Remember, messagesis the fully qualified name of a bundle in the classpath
// e.g. WEB-INF/classes/messages_*.properties
ResourceBundle res = ResourceBundle.getBundle("messages", new java.util.Locale(language, country));
java.util.Enumeration en=res.getKeys();
while(en.hasMoreElements())
{
out.println(en.nextElement());
}
out.print(res.getString("key1"));

Linux ssh autologin with putty
html">
ssh autologin with putty
This article shows how to do it whenconnecting from a windows machine using putty to a linux box.
1. download PuTTYgen and start it.
2. at the bottom of the window, select SSH2 RSA
3. click generate and start moving your mouse over the blank part of
the window until the bar is filled and it shows some more options.
4. change the key comment to something meaningful like the name of your computer or you
5. save the private key (and if you want for later use, save the public
key too, but we don’t need this one for our auto login)
6. copy the public key from the textarea at the top of the window and
paste it into the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file on your server you want
to logon in the home directory of the user you want to logon as. if
this file doesn’t exist yet, create it. (you may again want to
save the copy/pasted key to a text file on your computer in case you
have some more servers you want to auto-logon, so you can always open
it and copy/paste it from that file)
7. start putty and load your server settings
8. go to Connection–>Data and enter the username you want to
login as in the up most field “Auto-Login username”
9. go to Connection–>SSH–>Auth and choose the newly
reated private key file you saved before in the last field
“Private key file for authentication” by hitting the browse
button.
10. go back to Session and save all these settings.
now your’re done. from now on you will automatically be logged in when you open a session to that server
somem more tutorials for this and other os’s can be found here: http://wellsi.com/sme/ssh/ssh.html

PHP and Related
http://www.dbforums.com/t1044828.html I just installed Apache/PHP5/MySQL on my Windows PC with XP Home OS. I followed the Tut Installing PHP under Windows by Matthew Phillips Referred to in the Post: Easy to understand Apache/PHP/MySQL install on XP box This worked OK aside from a couple obvious differences. I had the most troube getting MySQL configured with PHP and had to do some searching to find the answer. Here is what I had to do to get it working. In the Apache httpd.conf File at 'C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\conf\httpd.conf' You have to add these lines for PHP5 LoadModule php5_module php5apache2.dll AddType application/x-httpd-php .php In addition to installing MySQL etc. I had to do this to get MySQL to work: 1. Make sure that you have a valid php.ini in your windows directory. OR (Per the tut the 'php.ini' can be installed in the 'C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2' folder. This works fine.) 2. copy libmysql.dll to the system32 directory (php_mysql.dll would not load without doing this) 3. set the extension_dir in php.ini to the ext directory of your PHP installation directory (like e.g. extension_dir=C:\php5\ext) 4. enable the MySQL extension in php.ini by uncommenting the line extension=php_mysql.dll 5. Restart Apache Server Check this link for latest php host http://www.0php.com/free_PHP_hosting.php Useful open source apps: Online exam - TCExam (sourceforge project) perfect for online exam .(http://www.tecnick.com/public/code/cp_dpage.php?aiocp_dp=tcexam) Fixes: Remember to add the user right (with groups , date format is yyyy-mm-dd) Install the application through the application. project management http://itprojectguide.org/ Drupal - an excellent content mgmt system.

Tomcat enabling security using Catalina.policy
Add the -security option in the startup script of catalina
For debugging security information have below setting in catalina
CATALINA_OPTS=" -Djava.security.debug=acess,failure"
The catalina.policy file should be present under $tomcat/conf/
Change the catalina.policy as required by checking the debug information
To check acess failures use the below:
grep -v "access allow" /usr/local/sso/logs/catalina.out |more
Note: -v is used to invert the search pattern.
or use
grep -v "access allow" /usr/local/sso/logs/catalina.out |egrep "domain|denied" |more

Pega PRPC
Pega is a collection of rules linked to a business process Pega = Rules Engine + Business Process It is smart as it is built for changes and has all the capabalities required in a SDLC(s/w development life cycle). Here is a few: - An inbuilt Versioning system.Excellent feature to manage releases. Never seen such good feature in my career in other products. - An inbuilt clipboard and tracing tool for debugging. Rule inspector for debugging HTML on the fly. What else do you want with zero developer configuration. - Inbuilt security system. Imagine building security in J2ee world , it is really a pain. - A interface to view/design/manage the work flow from any corner of the world. Just have a browser and you are done. You setup the server environment once. No need to setup any other environment for individual developer. - Object oriented. - Java Based and inbuilt internationalization support - Can include new java libraries easily (Rule-utility)... - Smart product for smart people. - Excellent external service integration - It solves most of the repeatedly occuring problems in a J2ee webapp development and hence a sure winner. Most problems are captured as rules which can be changed easily. - Rule testing capability like Junit in java. What it lacks in V4.2(correct if i am wrong) - Sucks lot of Memory. Maybe deu to the rules stored in memory. - Customizing the user interface layout takes a hell lot of time and effort. Also depends on the skillset of the developer. - Didn't find a worthy information of handling back button in a work flow. Going back from one flow to another is not possible. - How do we support AJAX? Portlets , etc? Is it there in V5 ? - Hard Core *Coder* will not like it as it is not as flexible and tunable. :) -Bigger learning curve of rules. But with it's feature its worth. - Not open sourced :-). If it get's opensourced no other product can beat it. [update] Useful links Forum for pega Question and answer Developer notes 1 More to come here TODO: -How to develop pega app from scratch quickly -Best Practices -Essential rules what a pega developer should know.
