Jsp and CSS size limits that web developers need to aware

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 includes affect page size where dynamic includes affect processing overhead.

CSS size limit in IE :

To get some performance improvements, if you try to combine all your CSS files and if the combined CSS size exceeds 288kb, beware : IE has a size limit to load the CSS content. IE will ignore any CSS beyond 288 KB and even gzipping content doesn't matter. This size limit appears to be a "per file" limit and you can split the CSS into two files and it will work fine.

  1. Pleas add the kind of "this exception" too..

ATG - more about Forms and Form Handlers

An ATG form is defined by the dsp:form tag, which typically encloses DSP tags that specify form elements, such as dsp:input that provide direct access to Nucleus component properties. Find below a sample dsp:form tag.    <dsp:form action="/testPages/showPersonProperties.jsp" method="post" target="_top">      <p>Name: <dsp:input bean="/samples/Person.name" type="text"/>      <p>Age: <dsp:input bean="/samples/Person.age" type="text" value="30"/>      <p><dsp:input type="submit" bean="/samples/Person.submit"/> value="Click to submit"/>    </dsp:form>   When the user submits the form, the /samples/Person.name property is set to the value entered in the input field.Unlike standard HTML, which requires the name attribute for most input tags; the name attribute is optional for DSP form element tags. If an input tag omits the n...

Basic design decisions for a commerce search setup ( with an ATG Search view)

In this blog I would like to explain the basic set of configuration/design decisions needed to setup an ATG search project. Most of these design decisions are common for all Enterprise search applications. 1. Decide the searchable properties :   This means the properties that the business want the user to search in the ecommerce platform. In ATG search these are configured as the text properties in the product-catalog-output-config.xml ( the definitionFile of the \atg\commerce\search\ProductCatalogOutputConfig). Usually the displayName of product/sku, displayName of department/category/sub-category, skuId, brandName are the properties configured as searchable. 2. Decide the search refinement properties or the faceted properties :   After a user search for a keyword, search refinement is the next step done to filter his results. ATG supports the search refinement using the Faceted Search concept. Read more about facted search @...
