Mozilla FireFox - how to add security certificate exception urls

If you visit a web site with a secure connection(https) and if the website's security certificate has some problem like the security certificate presented by the website was not issued by a trusted certificate authority or the security certificate has expired or is not yet valid, you will get an error page ( like below in IE ) with an option to continue to this website.

When this non secure page is loading, in Internet Explorer, you will get an option to specify whether you need to download the page content files like JS, CSS, Images,... But you will not get such an option in FireFox/Chrome and could see only the text data in this new non secure page.

If you are doing some local development with FireFox/Chrome and have such a situation, you might want to override this security restriction. FireFox provides some exception url list in secure certificates menu. Go to Options - Advanced - Encryption - View Certificates and click the exception list and add your url to get all content of the site irrespective of the security certificate issue.

JBoss - know more about the JBoss directory structure

Fundamentally, the JBoss architecture consists of the JMX MBean server, the microkernel, and a set of pluggable component services - the MBeans. The JBoss Application Server ships with three different server configurations. Within the <JBoss_Home>/server directory, you will find three subdirectories: minimal, default and all. The default configuration is the one used if you don’t specify another one when starting up the server. If you want to know which services are configured in each of these instances, look at the jboss-service.xml file in the <JBoss_Home>/server/<instance-name>/conf/ directory and also the configuration files in the <JBoss_Home>/server/<instance-name>/deploy directory. JBoss 4.0 features an embedded Apache Tomcat 5.5 servlet container. conf --> The conf directory contains the jboss-service.xml bootstrap descriptor file for a given server configuration. This has the jboss-log4j.xml file which configures the Apach...

How to simulate Browser back button

When someone asks how to simulate a back button, they really mean to ask how to create a link that points to the previously visited page. Most browsers tend to keep a list of which websites the user has visited and in what order they have done so. The DOM window object provides access to the browser's history through the history object. Moving backward and forward through the user's history is done using the back(), forward(), and go() methods of the history object. To move backward through history, just do window.history.back() ; This will act exactly like the user clicked on the Back button in their browser toolbar. Find below a sample html code: <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function goBack(){ window.history.back() } </script> </head> <body> <input type="button" value="Back" onclick="goBack()" /> </body> </html>

ATG Search and how to generate XHTMLs from STG file

The ATG search indexing will give you the idx and stg files. When I analyse the stg files with some text editors like Textpad or Ultraedit , found some <html> and </html> tags and the contents inside these tags seems to be the same content of the temporary XHTML files , which will be generated during the search indexing for each indexed item. So I deicded to take the contents in between the <html> and </html> tags and save as XHTML file and it works for almost all indexed items. As you might know, these XHTML file’s <head> tag contains all the meta properties ( refine properties ) and the <body> tag have the text properties ( searchable properties ) for each indexed item. Please note that the above steps are not an ATG recommended method to generate the XHTML files. I come across to this simple method to form the XHTML files and I am not 100% sure that this will give all the XHTML files of a search index . But I found this to be very useful f...
