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...

ATG Search and Search engine activity log

We could use the SearchEngineActivity log files to get the request/response to the search engine from a commerce instance. This folder is located in each commerce instance or the instances from which the call to the search engine is done. The SearchEngineActivity log file folder can be configured @ SearchEngineService component ( /dyn/admin/nucleus/atg/search/routing/SearchEngineService). To get the log files for the search engine calls, you need to specify the SearchEngineService.dumpingRequests as true. Then you need to specify the engineActivityPath as the folder in which you need the SearchEngineActivity logs. Below you could find my SearchEngineActivity log folder. Each successful call to the search engine from the commerce instance will create 5 files in the SearchEngineActivity folder : namely request, response, search engineinfo, stack trace and response row . Each file name start with a specific sequence. You ...

Search engine shutdown call from the Estore instnace

When the estore or commerce instances are restarted the routing system service can send shut down requests to stale engines, this can be caused because of any of the following. 1. Some other instance marked the engine as stopped in the DB (This can be caused because the machine could not reach the host running the engine) 2. The eStore instance is using a different search schema that has data about the search engine host and is marked as stopped in that DB. To avoid this overrride \atg\search\routing\RoutingSystemService.properties by setting cleanUpStrayEng=false.

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>
