Comments

  1. Sony- I'm new to the ATG world, in a new role in a new company and am hit with the task of resolving disappeared "Browse" functionality in the Business Control Center. This is in the Merchandising bit, and when the "Show:" option is selected in the Browse tab, the tree is missing where it was previously. "Search" functionality works splendidly. I'm thinking something is missing in a config file somewhere, however, no specifics of what happened are available. This first appeared in the production environment, and when users began investigating, a server reboot was done and the same problem replicated in the test environment where the investigation was being conducted. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Eclipse plugin: InstaSearch – for quick search

InstaSearch is an Eclipse plug-in for performing quick and advanced search of workspace files. This will index the files and when you search for some file contents, it will look with in this index and the search results will be faster, just like the Goolge instant search. It uses Lucene ( http://lucene.apache.org/ ) for indexing and fast searching of files in the workspace. Each search result file then can be previewed using few most matching and relevant lines. A double-click on the match leads to the matching line in the file. Main Features Instantly shows search results Shows a preview using relevant lines Periodically updates the index Matches partial words (e.g. case in CamelCase) Opens and highlights matches in files Searches JAR source attachments Supports filtering by extension/project/working set Download / Installation In Eclipse Helios (3.6) please install using the  Eclipse Marketplace from the Help menu http://marketplace.eclipse.org/s...

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               ...

ATG Search architectural flow : Search and Index

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 ...

ATG and XML File Combination

              An XML file might appear at several points in the CONFIGPATH. The ATG platform, at runtime,   automatically combines all the XML files in the CONFIGPATH with the same name into a single composite file, which is then used by the appropriate component.               XML files are combined one tag at a time: in other words, tags are matched up, and the combination rules are applied to each pair of matched tags. XML file combination is controlled with an XML attribute named xml-combine. This attribute is used only in the preprocessing stage of XML file combination. The xml-combine attribute can have the following values: xml-combine = "replace" xml-combine = "remove" xml-combine = "append" xml-combine = "append-without-matching" -->  This is the same as  xml-combine="append" , except that embedded tags are not matched and combined recursively. The content is simply appended. ...
