Tips from Sony Thomas

Here I am listing some erroneous cases that might occur in your web development phase, due to some size restrictions. JSP file size limit : You might get some run time exceptions that the JSP file size limit exceeds. Please find below the reason : In JVM the size of a single JAVA method is limited to 64kb. When the jsp file is converted to Servlet, if the jspservice method's size exceeds the 64kb limit, this exception will occur. Keep in mind that this exception depends on the implementation of the JSP translator, means the same JSP code may give an exception in Tomcat and may run successfully in Weblogic due to the the difference in the logic to built the Servlet methods from JSP. The best way to omit this issue is by using dynamic include.For example, if you are using                  <%@ include file="sample.jsp" %> (static include),  replace this to                 <jsp:include page="sample.jsp" />   (dynamic include). Static includ

I would like to explain the high level ATG Search implementation architecture ( for an online store) through the above diagram. In this diagram 1.x denotes the search functionality and 2.x denotes the indexing functionality. I have given JBoss as the application server. Physical Boxes and Application Servers in the diagram ( as recommended by ATG )  : Estore ( Commerce ) Box --> The box with the estore/site ear (with the site JSPs and Java codes). Search Engine Box --> The box with the search engine application running. Indexing Engine Box --> The box with the indexing engine application running. CA (Content Administration) Box --> The box with the ATG CA ear ( where we could take CA -BCC - Search Administration and configure the search projects) . Search Indexer Box --> The box with the ATG Search Index ear ( to fetch the index data from repository). Note that the engine performing indexing will need access to the data it is indexing, which for production

If your browser is having a large number of extensions/add-ons, how can you ensure a secure e-banking ? Chrome incognito window or IE / Mozilla private browsing is the best option you have, to do the e-banking. Google Chrome does not control how extensions handle your personal data. But all the extensions have been disabled for incognito windows. (You can reenable them individually in the extensions manager ). The simplest way to start Chrome in Incognito @ Windows 7 is to right-click on its taskbar icon . Also think about the other uses of Chromey incognito, just like to use it for Guest account log-ins ...

Read the Eclipse Galileo features @  http://tips4ufromsony.blogspot.com/2011/10/good-features-of-eclipse35-eclipse.html New options in Open Resource dialog : The Open Resource dialog supports three new features: • Path patterns: If the pattern contains a /, the part before the last / is used to match a path in the workspace: • Relative paths: For example, "./T" matches all files starting with T in the folder of the active editor or selection: • Closer items on top: If the pattern matches many files with the same name, the files that are closer to the currently edited or selected resource are shown on top of the matching items list. MarketPlace :  Searching and adding new plugins for Eclipse have always been a challenge. The Eclipse Marketplace makes this much easier – it allows you to not only search a central location of all Eclipse plugins, but also allows you to find the most recent and the most popular plugins.
