I am still looking for a Solution for the same, I will update once i have the solution..

Solution in My Scenario:
For me it is the issue with the JAR Conflicts. I was having naming-factory.jar in Tomcat/Lib was conflicting with some other JAR's.I Just removed it and the issue got resolved.

I am not sure in every case the same JAR, But it is always the JAR Conflict.

Make Cheapest Data Card in India 2.5GB @ IRS 65 with Speed for Voice Chat.

2011-08-06T18:01:00.000-07:00

We know we all are behind finding different ways of getting online always, or keep tweeting through mobiles, or you can simply say youth are Psycho/mad with simply checking the mails/Facebook updates, even they are aware that nothing important going to happen on facebook/GMails :).
Lets Discuss different ways of getting online in the Mobile word, Being the Android No.1 in Market, Now every one have a smart phone, I should say every student have it :), [They are the most, guys behind the Gadgets :) ] . But here I am focussing on some kind of Programmers/Software Engineers they need Internet always, as earlier said to check mails and checking for Technology updates. Here the Mobile-Internet will not be a right option, I can make use of it, but the GPRS will be very slow and pathetic. Options are there with 3G and EDGE, But if i dont want to spent hundreds on Portable device with Internet connection, and I need pretty good speed for voice chat and Internet browsing, (I think we should not expect Video conference on these, Am I Right :)).Here we have different Data Cards Available in Indian Market. Now almost every telephone Companies provides the Data cards. Such as BSNL, Reliance, MTS , TATA Photon. Every one provides 3G Service too. But the cost of very less speed internet data card cost 1500-1700 initial cost and 40-500 per month for 500MB to 2 GB Data, isnt costing very high on this Internet world.On discussion with other friends abroad, i came to know the 3G Modem, which is available in Indian Market too, But India have it , but integrated with any mobile operators SIM Card/ Data Card.Now lets come to the point, I did some adjustment with one Internet 3G Modem, I am able to browse on a wonderful speed provides better clarity on Voice chatting.How to make a Data Card costing IRS 50-60 and having Browsing limit to 2-3GB per month [Monthly Expense for Portable Device is IRS:50-65], is it Interesting to you.How I achieved it is I got a 3G Modem from one of My friend, I bought one TATA DOCOMO SIM Card for RS 70 (A good talk time with it.), Re Charged with IRS:65 for 2.5 GB GPRS.If you want to buy 3G Modem, it cost 900-1200 in Indian Market, you can get it in

Bangalore - SP Road, the best place to get electronic items very cheap.
New Delhi - Nehru Place, The biggest Computer Market in India.

This device will have the default application inside to support Windows Operating System. Just you plug and start browsing by putting the SIM Card inside.

The settings can be done as follows.

Step 1The application GUI will looks same as this, may be different in colours, Because i saw in Idea Data Card, which have the same GUI with IDEA Yellow colour instead of this light blue screen :) :Step 2: Open the Tools--> Options, here you will get the following screen. Do the settings as given in image.Step 3:In the Text Message Screen you dont need to do any Changes, let it got with default settings.Step 4:In the Screen of Profile Management we have the settings for the GPRS/Internet. You can get these settings from customer cares as well.Step 5: The Network settings to be done as given in Image "Screen Networ 1" and "Screen Networ 2"

Screen Netwrok 1

Screen Network 2.

By Clicking New you can create a new Profile i created with Name "Docomo".Set the APN as static. and the APN for DOCOMO is "TATA.DOCOMO.INTERNET".Keep the username and password Blank. But the Access Number is *99# I think this is the number for all the providers.Once you are done with this click ok,Now you can see the profile in the Main Screen (As in Step 1.). Click on Connect. Now your system is in Internet, If you are facing any issues on connecting. Talk to customer Care and get the APN i mentioned and the Access Point Number (*99#) .Thank you Guys, Enjoy the Cheapest Data Card.Forgot to upload the Internet speed Graph I was getting.

Solution:
As it is mentioned in the Exception we need to increase the max_allowed_packet variable of MySQL server.
By Default MySQL provides the size of 1 MB. you can read the value by the following Command in MySQL Command Prompt.

show variables like '%max_allowed_packet';

Now you can Set the Value by using the following Command.

set global max_allowed_packet=16777216;

For Reference

The maximum allowed packet size is 1GB.

Create Executable JAR File Using Eclipse

2011-03-07T01:11:00.000-08:00

We all are aware of the main part of an Executable JAR file is keeping the MANIFEST.MF in META-INF Folder. Also inside the MANIFEST.MF we need to provide the following Details.

Manifest-Version: 1.0
  Main-Class: com.example.Example
  Class-Path: dependent.jar

Classpath will be required in case you have more dependent jars are there, also we create the Same jar using the JAR Command provided by Java as follows.

jar cvfm myFile.jar myManifestFile *.class
I found that some of the executable jars will through ClassNotFound Exception.
Hence i recommend to follow the Eclipse Jar Export Option.

The test Project i am going through have a Sample Java file to open a Window using the Java Swing.
Once I execute the project the Output is as Follows.
Now lets Create the JAR to run the Application.
Step 1: Right Click on the Project and Select Export.
Step 2: Select teh Export Destination as Runnable JAR File, and click Next.
Step 3: Select the Class with main method, which need to be executed initially and teh Destination Folder where the Jar need to be saved. Here i selected "C:\test.jar"
Step 4: Click Finish, Now your Executable Jar is ready @ C:\test.jar.
Hope you enjoyed the work through.

Conversion between Array and java.util.List

2011-01-06T22:03:00.000-08:00

While dealing with Autogenerated Classes Like JAXB or any other framework we need to convert from Array to List or vice versa..

Object[] --> java.util.List
or
java.util.List --> Object[].

Array to List


    public static void main(String[] args) {
           String[] names= {"Name 1","Name 3","Name 4"};
           List nameList=Arrays.asList(names);
           System.out.println("List Size is :"+nameList.size());
           System.out.println("Names are :"+nameList);
    }

It will give the Output as


   List Size is :3
   Names are :[Name 1, Name 3, Name 4]

We know how to insert the data in some position in List, But the insertion will not be allowed in the List provided by Arrays.asList,

It throws the following Exception when we do


   nameList.add(2,"Name 2");
   or 
   nameList.add("Name 2");

   Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
           at java.util.AbstractList.add(AbstractList.java:151)
           at java.util.AbstractList.add(AbstractList.java:89)
           at org.work.corejava.collection.ArrayToList.main(ArrayToList.java:12)

Reason: Reference
Arrays.asList Returns a fixed-size list backed by the specified array. (Changes to the returned list "write through" to the array.) This method acts as bridge between array-based and collection-based APIs, in combination with Collection.toArray.

But as the array supported


    names[1] ="Name 2";
    The same functionality will be supported by List also , as follows.
    nameList.set(1,"Name 2");

List to Array

List to Array can be done using the following Code.

String[] namesArray = nameList.toArray(new String[0]);
      in JDK 1.4 we need to do teh following type casting.
      String[] namesArray = (String[])nameList.toArray(new String[0]);

Here is something which I thought is an Excellent Stuff to share...

QUOTE

In India around 350 BC in Magadh, Chanakya was widely lauded for his wisdom.

One day an acquaintance ran up to him excitedly and said, "Chanakya ji, do you know what I just heard about Pandit Haridas?"

"Wait a moment," Chanakya replied, "Before you tell me I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test."

'Triple filter?" asked the acquaintance.

"That's right," Chanakya continued, "Before you talk to me about Pandit Haridas, let's take a moment to filter what you're going to say. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"

"No," the man said, "Actually I just heard about it."

"All right," said Chanakya, "So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about Pandit Haridas something good?"

"No, on the contrary..."

"So," Chanakya continued, "You want to tell me something about Pandit Haridas that may be bad, even though you're not certain it's true?"

The man shrugged, a little embarrassed. Chanakya continued, "You may still pass the test though, because there is a third filter, the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about Pandit Haridas going to be useful to me?"

"No, not really."

"Well," concluded Chanakya, "If what you want to tell me is neither True nor Good nor even useful, why tell it to me or anyone at all?"

The man was bewildered and ashamed. This is an example of why Chanakya was a great politician and held in such high esteem.

Java Resource Locator. Best practice to open a File

2010-12-21T01:24:00.000-08:00

Here I would like to discuss about the Loading of a Resource in a Java Application.For example lets take the Java sample eclipse project Test. Here we have different Package as 1. org.work.corejava, 2. org.work.corejava.file.csvreader also 3.org.work.corejava.xml.parser,

In the above Example if i want to read the InputData.txt file need to be read in the ResouceLocator.java,

Normally we do as follows.

public class ResourceLocator {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
  File fileIn = new File("InputData.TXT");
  FileReader fileReader = null;
  BufferedReader reader = null;
  try {
   fileReader = new FileReader(fileIn);
   reader = new BufferedReader(fileReader);
  } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
  }finally{
   try{
    reader.close();
   }catch(Exception e){}
  }
 }
}

But It will throw the following Exception

java.io.FileNotFoundException: InputData.TXT (The system cannot find the file specified)
 at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
 at java.io.FileInputStream.(Unknown Source)
 at java.io.FileReader.(Unknown Source)
 at org.work.corejava.ResourceLocator.main(ResourceLocator.java:25)

The reason behind this Exception is the Application is searching the InputData.TXT in the base class path. Basically inside the SRC Folder. But the File is in the src/org/work/corejava folder. To avoid the above exception we can simply copy the InputData.TXT to the src folder and the issue resolved. otherwise provide the Entire path as follows.

File fileIn = new File("D:\\Development\\workspace\\Test\\org\\work\\corejava\\InputData.TXT");

The best way to do this is by using the Class.getResource Method as follows.

URL url=ResourceLocator.class.getResource("InputData.TXT");

fileReader = new FileReader(url.getFile());

Here we will keep the File and the Java FIle in the same package.

The complete program is as follows.

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URL;

/**
 * To find the Resource by using the Java Resource Locator.
 * @author askeralim
 *
 */
public class ResourceLocator {
 public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
  FileReader fileReader = null;
  BufferedReader reader = null;
  try {
   URL url=ResourceLocator.class.getResource("InputData.TXT");
   fileReader = new FileReader(url.getFile());
   reader = new BufferedReader(fileReader);
   String data =reader.readLine();
   System.out.println(data);
  } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
  }finally{
   try{
    reader.close();
   }catch(Exception e){}
  }
 }
}

The blind man with a vision

2010-12-20T02:36:00.000-08:00

Breaking records has been a way of life for this 30-year-old banker from Mumbai -- be it in life, at work or in sports. But he is a trader with a difference.

Ashish Goyal works for J P Morgan Chase as a chief investment officer and is passionate about macroeconomics and the financial markets. And Mr Goyal is blind.

A New York Times article says looking at Ashish work one can hardly figure out that he is visually impaired-the speed and accuracy with which he manages billions of dollars of the bank's exposure to risks like foreign exchange fluctuations.

Outside his official assignment, Ashish represented the Metro London Sports Club in 2009 in the United Kingdom's domestic blind cricket league. In his very first year, he became a prominent member of the team contributing to winning the UK league. His friends find it difficult to keep pace with his social life that ranges from theatre, music, charity work to Formula F1, tennis and globetrotting to 'watching' cricket matches.

Ashish, who was born with perfect vision, suffers from a disease called retinitis pigmentosa, which robbed him of his sight after the age of 15. He did not lose his vision at one go, but gradually went blind over a period of three years. By 18, he couldn't see anything at all.
He was the first blind student to make it to Wharton Business School, Philadelphia, four years ago. If that isn't enough, Ashish cleared his MBA with honours and went on to win the Joseph P Wharton award, given to one student every year who symbolizes Wharton's way of life.

Ashish, who now lives in London, is the first blind trader at J P Morgan, and possibly in any bank anywhere in the world. His near-impossible feat has earned him the National Award for the Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities, 2010, an honour that he will receive at the hands of the President of India this week.

Ironically, while Ashish will return to India to receive his award, this country has been a trifle hostile to him during his first attempt at entering the job market. He had a tough time getting a job in India, despite securing a second rank in his batch while doing an MBA at NMIMS.

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

'You've got to find what you love,' Jobs says

This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005.

I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.

The first story is about connecting the dots.

I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?

It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.

And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.

It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example:

Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.

None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.

Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

My second story is about love and loss.

I was lucky — I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation — the Macintosh — a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.

I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down - that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me — I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.

I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.

During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.

I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.

My third story is about death.

When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.

I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now.

This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope it's the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.

Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

Thank you all very much.

Live Flight Tracking on Google Maps

2010-04-01T01:38:00.000-07:00

is a brilliant mashup that displays movement of incoming and outgoing flights on a Google Map live.

The airplanes are colored based on the name of the airline to which they belong but you can also change their colors based on the altitude at which they are currently flying or the flight type (whether it’s an incoming flight, outgoing or in transit).

You can also click the icon of a moving airplane to see speed and height at which it is flying in real-time.

And if you are checking this service at a time where there isn’t flight traffic at Schipol Airport, just select one of the past days from the drop down to replay the entire flight movement for that day on your computer screen.

Casper is currently tracking flights that are flying in and out of the Amsterdam Airport but we do have similar services for visualizing air traffic at the Zurich Airport andRadarVirtuel that tracks flights for most European countries in almost real-time.GmapTracker tracks incoming flights for US airports of New York, San Francisco, LA, Atlanta, Boston and Chicago.

My Most Influenced Words from Sachin after Double ton

2010-02-27T18:30:00.000-08:00

Master batsman Sachin Tendulkar said records are meant to be broken and he would be glad to see an Indian eclipsing his epic unbeaten 200 that he smashed against South Africa on Wednesday.

"No record is unbreakable. Records are made to be broken and I would like to see an Indian breaking this record," Tendulkar said, dedicating the knock to all his fans.

"I do not play for records. I play for enjoyment and for my passion for the game. I did not start playing cricket for breaking records. It has happened over the time. But it feels great," Tendulkar said at the post-match press conference.

Asked when he felt like getting that double hundred, he said, "After reaching 175-200, I thought. But it's not that only double hundred was there in my mind. The ball was coming nicely and I was striking the ball well."

"I have enjoyed challenges. I have enjoyed the game 2007 onwards and credit goes to Gary. He has held the team beautifully, it's about holding the team together. Even at the practice, he has worked as hard as players and probably harder than anyone else. Things have been good," he said.

"I respect the sentiment. These things help during tough times and when you go to the field," he said.

The Simplicity and his attitude is the most influenced things to me.

More flexibility in work schedules boosts employees' health

2010-02-19T01:10:00.000-08:00

Washington, Feb 18 (ANI): A new study has suggested that giving employees more flexibility over their work schedules is likely to boost their health.

However, interventions that are motivated or dictated by the needs of the employer, such as cutting hours, either have no effect on employee health or make it worse, says the research.

"Control at work is good for health," said review co-author Clare Bambra, a researcher at Durham University, in England.

"Given the absence of ill health effects associated with employee-controlled flexibility and the evidence of some positive improvements in some health outcomes," Bambra said, more flexibility in work schedules "has the potential to promote healthier workplaces and improve work practices."

Review lead author Kerry Joyce, also a researcher at Durham University, said that in addition to physical risks, the workplace can pose a threat to health due to factors like high workloads, time pressures, lack of control and limited social interaction with others.

Stress, in turn, can contribute to conditions like heart disease, depression and anxiety.

In the review, the authors sought to determine what researchers have discovered about the effects on health of "flexible working" - measures that give employees more autonomy.

They also looked at other kinds of interventions, such as involuntary part-time employment and mandatory overtime, that help employers.

The researchers found 10 studies that fit their criteria for review inclusion. Three took place in the United States, two in Finland and one each in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Australia and Denmark. Another study analyzed workers in the U.K. and Germany.

The review appears in the current issue of The Cochrane Library. (ANI)

String with White Spaces in Java

2010-02-15T02:47:00.000-08:00

Hi,
In Most of the Data Formatting/Reports Applications we may require to create Strings with White Spaces with different sizes. I have found an issue on this as follows.

Once i need to create spaces in between some data in my report, The implementation as

1. StringBuffer  sb=new StringBuffer();
  2. sb.add("                                                     ");
  3. sb.add("Name :"+name);
  4. sb.add("               ");
  5. sb.add("age :"+age);

Here the existing issue in line no 2 & 4, we have the string of Space Separator, But the code looks odd, and in case some added a space more in the same string it will be difficult to identify while Commiting the file in SVN or VSS .
I made some implementation in Java Using Character Arrays which will give provide performance by using StringBuffer.

import java.util.Arrays;

   public class WhiteSpaceString {
       public final static char SPACE_SEPARATOR = 32;

       public static void main(String[] args) {
          System.out.println("|" + getWhitespaceString(10) + "|");
       }

       private static String getWhitespaceString(int length) {
          StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
          char[] whiteSpace = new char[length];
          Arrays.fill(whiteSpace, SPACE_SEPARATOR);
          sb.append(whiteSpace);
          return sb.toString();
      }
   }

If you have any Better approach for the same please update me.

The issues I Faced With Maruti Insurance Policy Renewal Online,

Once I paid the Insurance payment Online, It was successfully Completed the payment , and I got the mail from webmaster@maruti.co.in, that "Your Payment has been received and the details are indicated below."
But on the 6th Step it should generate the New Policy Document Online, Instead of that it was showing error that it is not able to Generate Now and I will be updated soon,
Hence on the very Next Day I tried to contact the Maruti Insurance Customer Care Number : 9999999787, I feel this is some personal Number, And I am getting the response as "Either Buzy or He is Not picking up the call"
Hence I contacted Customer Care they mentioned to mail in the following Mail addresses,

JQuery Country State HTML SELECT [Dropdown] AJAX Implementation using JSON

2009-11-26T11:03:00.000-08:00

This is the basic tutorial which will help you to start with JQuery and JSON(Java Script Object Notation) Objects. The following is the Project Structure in Netbeans; I worked in Netbeans hence soJ. In this tutorial I will start with JQuery AJAX Implementation with XML Objects,

For my convenience I have not downloaded/Installed any JQuery Javascript file in the current project, Still I am referring to the JQuery Website shared JavaScript Files. Hope it will help you from getting confused to the version of JQuery and other JS Files.
JQuery AJAX Using JSON Objects.

I know whenever we hear about AJAX Country/State Drop down example will come into our mind, So I am also referring to the same. Here whenever the User changes the Country Dropdown we will update the State associated with that Country.
In this example we have only two JSP Files,
   1. indexJSON.jsp
   2. CountryStateJSON.jsp
Hope you can Apply few style sheet to make the index.jsp as followsJ, I think the image is ext-js component, any way I kept image to give you an idea.

The state information we are responding to the client as a JSON Object as follows.
LinkedHashSet statesSet = new LinkedHashSet< HTMLOption>();
statesSet.add(new HTMLOption("1", "Kerala"));
statesSet.add(new HTMLOption("2","Karnataka"));
statesSet.add(new HTMLOption("3", "Delhi"));
System.out.println("Linked Hash Map:"+statesSet);
out.println(statesSet);

The above Code will generate the JSON Object as follows
   [   {id:1,value:'Kerala'},
   {id:2,value:'Karnataka'},
   {id:3,value:'Delhi'}   ]
The following Line of code in JSP will help to respond the Data as a Java Script File.

response.setContentType("text/javascript");
response.addHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename="+ "states.js");

In the current Example I am not connecting any Database for fetching the State details; I am simply updating the State drop down with My State in India and the neighborJ.We have two drop down in Our Page with ids
1. Dropdown Country id="country"
2. Dropdown State id=" stateDD"
   Country “onchange” we are calling function loadState(), which makes an JQuery AJAX Request to the CountryStateJSON.jsp, and It is handling the response as JavaScript Object(JSON), (by using the dataType TAG we are representing it) and pass the js File to the loadStateFromJSON Function.
     By Using JSON Object Parser It iterates and retrieve all the states from JSON and Add to the state DropDown using appendState Method.
  ClearDD Method : It will remove all the options under the stateDD.
Example.
IndexJSON.jsp

<%@page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"

    "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

Hello World!

        State :

The countryState.jsp is simply receiving the countryId from request and responding a static states xml file.
CountryStateJSON.jsp

       <%

        System.out.println("CountryID-----------"+request.getParameter("countryId"));

        response.setContentType("text/javascript");

        response.addHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename="

          + "states.js");

        LinkedHashSet statesSet = new LinkedHashSet();

        statesSet.add(new HTMLOption("1", "Kerala"));

        statesSet.add(new HTMLOption("2","Karnataka"));

        statesSet.add(new HTMLOption("3", "Delhi"));

        System.out.println("Linked Hash Map:"+statesSet);

        out.println(statesSet);

%>

HTMLOption.java

package org.json.model;



public class HTMLOption {



    String id;

    String value;



    public HTMLOption(String id, String value) {

        this.id = id;

        this.value = value;

    }



    public String getId() {

        return id;

    }



    public void setId(String id) {

        this.id = id;

    }



    public String getValue() {

        return value;

    }



    public void setValue(String value) {

        this.value = value;

    }



    @Override

    public String toString() {

        return "{id:"+id+",value:'"+value+"'}";

    }

}

NOTE: Here toString method need to implemented, and the data String should be as Key=Value (Eq: id = 1 ) and each entry shuld be separated by a Comma. For Multiple Values Please Refer HashSet Printing.

JQuery Country State HTML SELECT [Dropdown] AJAX Implementation using XML.

2009-11-25T05:25:00.000-08:00

This is the basic tutorial which will help you to start with JQuery and JSON(Java Script Object Notation) Objects. The following is the Project Structure in Netbeans; I worked in Netbeans hence soJ. In this tutorial I will start with JQuery AJAX Implementation with XML Objects,

Hope you can Apply few style sheet to make the index.jsp as followsJ, I think the image is ext-js component, any way I kept image to give you an idea.

The state information we are responding to the client as an XML File as follows.

Kerala
Karnataka

The following Line of code in JSP will help to respond the Data as a File.
response.setContentType("text/xml");
response.addHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename="states.xml");
In the current Example I am not connecting any Database for fetching the State details; I am simply updating the State drop down with My State in India and the neighborJ.
We have two drop down in Our Page with ids

   By Using XML Parser by JQuery It iterates and retrieve all the states from XML and Add to the state DropDown using appendState Method.

   ClearDD Method : It will remove all the options under the stateDD.

Example.
Index.jsp

<%@page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>

                    "Karnataka" +
                "");
        %>

This file can be customized according to availability of Country state data, as Database tables or Data Files. I will explain the same in JQuery Using JSON.

Java Serialization

In Programming layman’s language Serialization is the process of converting an object into a sequence of bits. That is the sequence of bytes can be persisted on a storage medium like a file or a memory buffer, and it can be transmitted across networks, hence later it can be restored as the same Object by the process of de serialization .ie It is a mechanism with which you can save the state of an object by converting it to a byte stream. This process of serializing an object is also called deflating or marshalling

Object serialization provides the foundation for Java's remote method invocation (RMI) capabilities that enable Java programs that are distributed over a network to invoke each others so-called "remote methods." RMI is used frequently in distributed enterprise applications that are built with Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE).

Let’s check different Scenarios while object serializing.

1.While Serializing an Object it will recursively checks the reference objects whether they are implemented Serializable interface or Not. Means every reference of a Serializing Object should also be Serialized, Otherwise it will generate java.io.NotSerializableException.

        Example:
        class MyDetails implements Serializable{
            String name;
            int age;
        }

Important point about java.lang.Object not implementing the Serializable interface is that any class you create that extends only Object (and no other serializable classes) is not serializable unless you implement the interface yourself.

“The object to be persisted must implement the Serializable interface or inherit that implementation from its object hierarchy.”

2.We did the basic Java Serialization, Now if we need to block some fields should not be saved through Serialization, here it comes with the Java Keyword Transient.

Ex: transient private Integer age=28;
This statement declares an integer variable named age is not a part of the persistent state of the class.

You use the transient keyword to indicate to the Java virtual machine that the indicated variable is not part of the persistent state of the object. In the saving Object Time JVM will discard the transient variables. Variables that are part of the persistent state of an object must be saved when the object is archived.

Scenario Where we Use Transient:

In system-level classes like Thread, OutputStream and its subclasses, and Socket are not serializable. Indeed, it would not make any sense if they were. For example, thread running in my JVM would be using my system's memory. Persisting it and trying to run it in your JVM would make no sense at all.

   Class MyAnimation{
   transient Thread serialPortReader.
   }

Here the serial port reading thread will be different in different

3.Stop Serialization:

In some scenario if we want to stop the serialization, you are thinking how. Lets see an example

   Class Person implements Serialization{
   }

   Class Student extends Person{
   }

Here if we need to block Student Object Serialization, How we do?

   Private void writeObject(ObjectOutputStream out) throws IOException
   {
   throw new NotSerializableException("Not today!");
   }

   private void readObject(ObjectInputStream in) throws IOException
   {
   throw new NotSerializableException("Not today!");
   }

Here once you try to serialize the Student Object It will throw NotSerializableException.

4.Versioning Serialization

One interesting thing will come into our mind that, once we stored the Object and later the Class is being changed, then how you will manage or restore the Object.

In Java 1.1, they have introduced version number. A specific class variable, serialVersionUID (representing the Stream Unique Identifier, or SUID), may be used to specify the earliest version of the class that can be deserialized. The SUID is declared as follows:

static final long serialVersionUID = 2L;

This particular declaration and assignment specifies that version 2 is as far back as this class can go. It is not compatible with an object written by version 1 of the class, and it cannot write a version 1 object. If it encounters a version 1 object in a stream (such as when restoring from a file), an InvalidClassException will be thrown.

Incase if we are not providing any serialVersionUID the jvm will assign a default while the object is serialized.

The following code will help us to get the SerialVersionId.

ObjectStreamClass myObject = ObjectStreamClass.lookup(Class.forName( "MyClass" ) );
long theSUID = myObject.getSerialVersionUID();

Hence we can check the versioned of the object and handle the InvalidClassException on Runtime.
.
Lets look a complete Example :

package serializing;

import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.ObjectInputStream;
import java.io.ObjectOutputStream;
import java.io.Serializable;

public class Serialize {

          /**
         * @param args
         */
         public static void main(String[] args) {
                 FileOutputStream fileOut = null;
                 ObjectOutputStream out = null;
                 try {
                         fileOut = new FileOutputStream("test.txt");                     
                         out = new ObjectOutputStream(fileOut);
                         CollegeStudent student = new CollegeStudent("WMO","Asker");
                         out.writeObject(student);
                 } catch (Exception e) {
                         // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                         e.printStackTrace();
                 } finally {
                          try {
                                out.close();
                                fileOut.close();
                         } catch (IOException e) {
                         // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                                e.printStackTrace();
                         }
                 }

                 FileInputStream fileIn = null;
                 ObjectInputStream in = null;
                 try {
                        fileIn = new FileInputStream("test.txt");
                        in = new ObjectInputStream(fileIn);
                        CollegeStudent student = (CollegeStudent) in.readObject();
                        System.out.println(student);
                 } catch (Exception e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                 } finally {
                        try {
                             out.close(); fileOut.close();
                        } catch (IOException e) {
                             e.printStackTrace();
                        }
                 }
          }
}

class Student  implements Serializable{
        String name;
        public Student(String name) {
              super();
              this.name = name;
        }

        public Student() {
        }
        @Override
        public String toString() {
               return "["+ name + "]";
        }

        public String getName() {
              return name;
        }


        public void setName(String name) {
              this.name = name;
        }
}

class CollegeStudent extends Student  {
        String college="";

        public String getCollege() {
              return college;
        }

        public void setCollege(String college) {
              this.college = college;
        }

        public CollegeStudent(String college,String name) {
              super(name);
              this.college=college;
        }
        public CollegeStudent() {
              super("NO VAAL");
        }

        @Override
        public String toString() {
              return "[" + name + ","+college+"]";
        }
}

In the Above Example Lets Discuss the different Scenarios.

Case 1: Student Class implements Serializable Interface. And College Student Does Not.

          CollegeStudent cs=new CollegeStudent(“College 1”,“Student 1”);
          //Save the Object.

          //Retrieve the Object and Print. The out put will be as Follows.

          [Student 1,College 1]

Case 2: Student Class Does Not. implements Serializable Interface. And CollegeStudent Does.

         CollegeStudent cs=new CollegeStudent(“College 1”,“Student 1”);
         //Save the Object.

         //Retrieve the Object and Print. The out put will be as Follows.

         java.io.InvalidClassException: serializing.CollegeStudent; no valid constructor
         at java.io.ObjectStreamClass.(ObjectStreamClass.java:455)
         at java.io.ObjectStreamClass.lookup(ObjectStreamClass.java:297)
         at java.io.ObjectOutputStream.writeObject0(ObjectOutputStream.java:1035)
         at java.io.ObjectOutputStream.writeObject(ObjectOutputStream.java:302)
         at serializing.Serialize.main(Serialize.java:18)

Case 3: Both the Student and CollegeStudent implements Serializable Interface

If the parent Class Implements the Serializable then it is not required, if provided Not an Issue. It will behave as Case 1:

         CollegeStudent cs=new CollegeStudent(“College 1”,“Student 1”);
         //Save the Object.
         //Retrieve the Object and Print. The out put will be as Follows.
         [Student 1,College 1]

Case 4: Lets make some transient Fields. For example in Student class

         transient String name;

         CollegeStudent cs=new CollegeStudent(“College 1”,“Student 1”);
         //Save the Object.
         //Retrieve the Object and Print. The out put will be as Follows.
         [null,College 1]

Case 5: Lets make some transient Fields. For example in Student class

         transient String college="";
         CollegeStudent cs=new CollegeStudent(“College 1”,“Student 1”);
         //Save the Object.

         //Retrieve the Object and Print. The out put will be as Follows.
         [Student 1,null]

AJAX: The Complete Tutorial Using Java Script

2009-09-02T10:31:00.000-07:00

AJAX

Hai Guys, As I was sitting on bench in Organization I thought to write a Complete Article on AJAX , XMLHttpRequest Object and the web policies.

First of all let me introduce what is AJAX.

AJAX is the short for of Asynchronous JavaScript And XML In conventional web application the control of the sending request and handling response are in the hands of Browser. But in AJAX with use of JavaScript XMLHttpRequest Object it gives the complete handling of Sending Request and Handling the responses. Google was apparently the first to realize the power of XMLHttpRequest. With Gmail and Google Maps, they built applications that took advantage of this to provide a user.

AJAX comprises of different web development techniques as follows.

XHTML, CSS for Data Presentations
DOM(Document Object Model) for dynamic display of and interaction with data
XML and XSLT for the interchange, and manipulation and display, of data, respectively
XMLHttpRequest The Core JavaScript Object for asynchronous communication with Server
JavaScript The Client Side Browser language to bring these technologies together

The above all technologies combinely help to create Interactive Rich Internet Applications.

What is XMLHttpRequest.

The XMLHttpRequest is the JavaScript object works as the key to AJAX. It has been available ever since Internet Explorer 5.5 was released in July 2000, as I mentioned above it was not fully discovered before people started to talk about AJAX and Web 2.0 in 2005.

XMLHttpRequest (XHR) is an API that can be used by JavaScript, JScript, VBScript and other web browser scripting languages to transfer and manipulate XML data to and from a web server using HTTP, establishing an independent connection channel between a web page's Client-Side and Server-Side.

In the AJAX the data can be returned as text or XML, here in text you can return the Complete HTML file as response if required.Before AJAX people used to Apply this by using IFrame by setting the URL.

XMLHttpRequest Life Cycle:

create an XMLHttpRequest object (or equivalent Active X control in IE)
Set the URL in XMLHttpRequest in which we want to connect;
Set the callback handler javascript method to process response data;
call the send() method, passing in any data to be posted;
Program the callback handler method in such a way that it will process the response in meaningful way.

XMLHttpRequest Life Cycle in Detail:

1. Create the XMLHttpRequest object

It is the first and most straightforward step in AJAX implementation.As simple as any Object creation in any language in Javascript also we will define as follows.

var reqObj = new XMLHttpRequest();

This Object will work with almost all the web browsers other than Internet Explorer (But in later IE releases they started supporting for this..)),

To make the Object Standardized for all the web browsers we can define a method as follows.

 function createXMLHttpRequest() {
    try { return new XMLHttpRequest(); } catch(e) {}
    try { return new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP"); }
    catch (e) {}
    try { return new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); }
    catch (e) {
        alert("XMLHttpRequest not supported");
        return null;
    }
 }

[An Active X control is a type of embeddable Windows program component.]

function createRequestObj() {
       if (window.ActiveXObject) {
          xhr = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHttp");
       } else {
          xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
       }
    }

2. Setting Up the Request URL.

To make a call to the server, we first specify the URL that we want to connect to by the use of open() method in XMLHttpRequest, passing in the request URL.

xhReq.open("get", "studentDeatils.jsp", true);

XMLHttprequest Supports the following methods for making the Requests.

void open(DOMString method, DOMString url);

void open(DOMString method, DOMString url, boolean async);

void open(DOMString method, DOMString url, boolean async, DOMString? user);

void open(DOMString method, DOMString url, boolean async, DOMString? user, DOMString? password);

void setRequestHeader(DOMString header, DOMString value);

void send();

void send (Document data);

void send ([AllowAny] DOMString? data);

void abort();

For Handling the response API supports the following methods.

readonly attribute unsigned short status;

readonly attribute DOMString statusText;

DOMString getResponseHeader(DOMString header);

DOMString getAllResponseHeaders();

readonly attribute DOMString responseText;

readonly attribute Document responseXML;

States of The XMLHttpRequest :

The readyState attribute, is the attribute provides current state of the XMLHttpRequest we made.

const unsigned short UNSENT = 0;

const unsigned short OPENED = 1;

const unsigned short HEADERS_RECEIVED = 2;

const unsigned short LOADING = 3;

const unsigned short DONE = 4;

UNSENT (numeric value 0)

The object has been constructed.

OPENED (numeric value 1)

The open() method has been successfully invoked. During this state request headers can be set using setRequestHeader() and the request can be made using the send() method.

HEADERS_RECEIVED (numeric value 2)

All HTTP headers have been received. Several response members of the object are now available.

LOADING (numeric value 3)

The response entity body is being received.

DONE (numeric value 4)

The data transfer has been completed or something went wrong during the transfer (e.g. infinite redirects).

OPENED state has an associated send() flag that indicates whether the send() method has been invoked. It can be either true or false and has an initial value of false.

DONE state has an associated error flag that indicates some type of network error or abortion. It can be either true or false and has an initial value of false.

Note that we can POST data to the server (typically in XML format), or for simple cases, we could use GET and append some parameters to the URL. In the latter case, we'd just pass null to the send() method.

We used to pass in a local URL to the site from which the page is loaded. For security reasons:[The Cross URL XMLHttpRequest Will be discussed later. Viz Cross XHR], The Browsers Policies won't let you make an XMLHttpRequest to a URL from a different host to that from which the page was loaded.

3.Process data in the callback handler

As the Name says the call back method will not be executed at once, but rather asynchronously. Once the response came from the Server for every status of XMLHttpRequest.readyState this method will be invoked.

function responseProcessingFunction() {

// state of 4 means request completed

if (xhr.readyState == 4) {

var responseXML = xhr.responseXML;

// ... process the response ...

}

The resadyState = 4 means the request is DONE.

Limitation of Ajax

As the name suggests AJAX requires JavaScript Enabled Browsers.If the Browser doesn’t support or disabled the Application will not be running in web browsers. This alone means that AJAX applications will not work in web browsers and devices that do not support JavaScript. For this reason it is not accessible to many typical Web users
This is one of the limitations of the technology but as it’s having so many features the technology has many drawbacks too.

Future of Ajax:

AJAX is an extension of DHTML programming, adding the capability to dynamically send and retrieve data from the web server in response to user actions.The biggest challenges in creating Ajax applications are not technical. The core Ajax technologies are mature, stable, and well understood. Instead, the challenges are for the designers of these applications: to forget what we think we know about the limitations of the Web, and begin to imagine a wider, richer range of possibilities.
AJAX is a tool that web developers can use to create smarter web applications that behave better than traditional web applications when interacting with humans.Ajax has changed the face of the web forever. Save for some of the browser enhancements and a few other technologies, I dare to say that it’s had the most significant impact on the way we use the internet in its short life.

A Simple practical Example in JSP.

AjaxExample.html

<script language="JavaScript">
    function concatName()
    {
      // Create the XML request 
      var firstName=document.getElementById("firstName").value;
      var lastName=document.getElementById("lastName").value;
      var URL="concat.jsp?firstName="+firstName+"&lastName="+lastName;
      xmlReq = null;
      if(window.XMLHttpRequest)
         xmlReq = new XMLHttpRequest();
      else if(window.ActiveXObject)               
      xmlReq = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
      if(xmlReq==null){
         alert('Failed to Create Request.....')
         return; // Failed to create the request
      }

      // Anonymous function to handle changed request states
      xmlReq.onreadystatechange = function()
         {
             switch(xmlReq.readyState){
              case 0:              // Uninitialized
                      break;
              case 1: // Loading
                      break;
              case 2: // Loaded
                      break;
              case 3: // Interactive
                      break;
              case 4: // Done!
              // Alerting teh response as Text, and processing the responseXML(We are responding         as and XML from Server.)
                      processResponseText(xmlReq.responseText);
                      break;
              default:
                      break;
            }
         }
      // Make the request
      xmlReq.open ('GET', URL, true);
      xmlReq.send (null);
   }

   function processResponseText(responseText){
      var fullName=responseText;
      document.getElementById("concatName").value=fullName;
   }
</script>

AJAX Example
A Simple Concatenation Function Using AJAX

Cross XHR

2009-09-02T10:23:00.000-07:00

Cross XHR.

Normally the web application make request to the same server. Cross XHR is simply the Cross Domain XMLHttpRequest, which is used to access some other service in different port of the same server, or to any other domain/Servers. Web application technologies commonly apply same-origin restrictions to network requests. These Restrictions prevents a client-side Web application running from one origin retrieving data from another origin, and also limit the amount of unsafe HTTP requests that can be automatically launched toward destinations that differ from the running application's origin which is called as “Same origin policy for JavaScript”.

For Example:

You are running your Website in www.mywebsite.com

If you has to make an XHR for other server like www.myothersite.com the XHR.response will as follows in different Browsers.

The Code for AJAX

try{
  // Firefox, Opera 8.0+, Safari
  xmlHttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
}catch (e){
  //Internet Explorer
  try{
      xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
  }catch (e){
      xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }
}

xmlHttp.open("POST",”www.myothersite.com” , true);

Internet Explorer.

Here it will you a warning that “To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer. Click here for details.”. After Allowing that you can access the yahoo.com or any server request.

Mozilla Firefox & Google Chrome

No Warning or message will be shown but the response (xmlHttp.responseText)

Will be a Zero length string. It shows it stops if the request violates Browser policies.

We can summarize as follows. For a URL (http://mywebsite.com/)

URL	Outcome	Reason
http://mywebsite.com/dir2/other.html	Success
http://mywebsite.com/dir/inner/another.html	Success
https://mywebsite.com/secure.html	Failure	Different protocol
http://mywebsite.com:81/dir/etc.html	Failure	Different port
http://news.company.com/dir/other.html	Failure	Different host

Now our next target is How to Achieve Cross XHR.

W3C has introduced new Specification called Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS).This specification consists of a simple header exchange between client-and-server, and is used by IE8’s proprietary XDomainRequest object as well as by XMLHttpRequest in browsers such as Firefox 3.5 and Safari 4 to make cross-site requests. These browsers make it possible to make asynchronous HTTP calls within script to other domains with GET and POST requests, provided the resources being retrieved are returned with the appropriate CORS headers.

Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS).

It is nothing but adding the Access Control header in the Domain which is need to be accessed using Cross Domain. For example in www.myothersite.com we need to add one header as follows for any access from www.mysite.com Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://www.myothersite.com

For more details on Access Control please look in the following links.

Hacking Using Cross XHR.

Different Cross XHR approaches in Internet are:

Create one webservice to the other website in the same Server and give to client side using the same domain name.

Yes definitely now it is a server side programming, Nothing to worry about Cross XHR Javascript Policies. It will work Fine.

Using IFrame which connect to other websites and render locally.Use Javascript to handle the IFrame Data.

Here the issue that Javascript will not allow to connect any IFrame in the document which has the different domain Name.Hence this approach will not work.

By Using FlashXmlHttprequest

I have tried the example it was not working. Still the security issues.you can look at the example here

“Cross Domain XMLHttpRequest using an IFrame Proxy” provided in the dojotoolkit. Dojotoolkit Open here

I haven’t tried this, please try this and let me know.

The Benefits of Fasting

2009-08-21T23:58:00.000-07:00

The original meaning sawm is to be at rest. We give rest to the gastro-intestinal tract, the sexual organs, the tongue, the eyes and ears, etc. The transit time for a bolus of food from the mouth to the end of the large intestine, called colon, is about 14 hours. This is the period - of 14 hours - during which we fast and withhold any stimulus, reaching the stomach and the digestive system.

In fact, fasting is an additional safety device for the regenerative processes of the body. The repair processes of the body and the brain, including the memory molecules take place when the body is at rest, especially during the stage of deep sleep. Sleeping during Ramadan is much deeper than in other times. Two hours of sleep during Ramadan are more satisfying and refreshing than more hours of sleep otherwise.

Fasting significantly increases deep sleep and reduces the dreaming time, which takes place during the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep. Therefore, it is more beneficial for the elderly to fast because their normal hours of deep sleep in the non-fasted state are much less.

Fasting is a divine prescription, because Allah Himself prescribed it in the Qur’an. Because the Islamic fast does not exceed 14 hours or so, the normal steady state of the body is maintained as a result of coordinated physiological mechanisms. Hence, nearly all the biochemical results in the laboratory are normal.

During fasting, serum magnesium is increased and…

Magnesium has cardio-protective effects and it is being used in prevention and treatment of heart attacks.
It has anti-platelet properties and prevents extension of the clot.
It is a membrane stabilizer acting on the sodium/potassium/calcium flux at the membrane level. Hence, it prevents cardiac and cerebral dysrhythmias.
Fasting, through the beneficial effects of magnesium, prevents the formation of atheroma as well as dissolves atheromatous plaques which are responsible for heart attacks and strokes. Hence, fasting takes an active part in the rejuvenating processes of the body through many channels.
It increases the fibrinolytic activity of the blood, which leads to prevention and also dissolution of any recent clot.

Ramadan puts a healthy mind into a healthy body. During fasting, there is increased secretion of the growth hormone by the pituitary gland. It is an anabolic hormone for synthesis of proteins and collagen, which produces a positive nitrogen balance. It also stimulates erythropoiesis, as well as collagen synthesis.

During the exercise of fasting, prayers and different spiritual experiences of Ramadan, certain endogenous substances are released by the brain and spinal cord into the body called opioids, which include enkephalins and endorphins. These are responsible for euphoria, tranquility and serenity during such periods.

Endorphins and enkephalins are natural painkillers. Endorphins may be responsible for the "feel nice" effects, experienced by many people after rigorous exercise. Endorphins and enkephalins are derived from beta-lipotropin. On release, it is cleaved to form three major active products: called met-enkephalin, gamma-endorphin, and beta-endorphin.

Beta-endorphin is most active, and is about 20 times as potent as morphine. In addition to their painkilling properties, the narcotic analgesics cause a profound feeling of well-being (euphoria). It is this feeling that is in part responsible for the psychological drive of certain persons who are fasting. Other mechanisms reduce pain sensation by blocking the transmission of pain message to the brain.

To alter the pain sensation, the brain and spinal cord release specialized neurotransmitters called endorphins and enkephalins. These chemicals interfere with pain impulse transmission by occupying the nerve cell receptors, required to send the impulse across the synapse. By making the pain impulse travel less efficiently, endorphins and enkephalins can significantly lessen the perception of pain. In extreme circumstances, they can even make severe injuries nearly painless.

If an athlete is injured during the height of competition, or a soldier injured during a fight, or persons who are fasting, they may not realize they have been hurt, until after the stressful situation has ended! This happens because the brain produces abnormally high levels of endorphins or enkephalins, in periods of intense stress, excitement or fasting.

Fasting and bio-rhythm

Muslims who have been fasting regularly since childhood have been exposed to different sleep/wake and light/darkness cycles on a daily basis in one annual lunar month. Hence, it may be easier for such persons to synchronize at a faster rate their circadian, circa-lunar and circa-annual bio-rhythms, under difficult conditions.

Therefore, it is expected that Muslims who fast regularly would least suffer from jet lag while traveling in a plane from West to East and that health problems in Muslim shift-workers would be minimal. In fact, the central circadian biological clock is located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus. It is a cluster of about 10,000 neurons on either side of the mid line, above the optic chiasma about 3 cm behind the eye.

Re-setting proceeds at the rate of 1-2 hours/day to adapt to a reversed shift pattern. There are widespread individual variations in the rapidity of resynchronization. Muslims who fast regularly and who have had disturbed wakefulness/sleep cycles on a daily lunar annual basis, can adapt themselves much faster to different conditions during international travel. This is while crossing time zones and do not suffer from the ill effects of jet lag.

It is also a common observation that as soon as Ramadan is over, normal circadian rhythms are established within the fasted Muslim, with such great rapidity on the first day of the following month of Shawal. This means that `Eid-al-Fitr (Minor Feast) is to be at par with pre-Ramadan levels.

Normally, a period of three weeks is required for resynchronization, among shift workers. As the fasting Muslim attunes himself to resynchronization processes, during the space of just over four weeks in Ramadan, his health problems - as a shift worker - would be negligible. His synchronization processes would be more rapid, whether during Ramadan or any other time.

The Benefits of Long Night Prayers

Moreover, the social contact during tarawih or qiyam (long night prayers) and other social spiritual activities should act as a zeitgeber (from German ‘time-giver’). This is what regulates any desynchronized biological rhythm.

Throughout the year, the average Muslim performs his 5-time daily obligatory prayers, as well as the optional ones. This amounts to gentle physical exercise, involving each and every muscle in the body. During the month of fasting, additional prayers of 8-20 rak`as (physical unit of prayer) are also performed at nights. Approximately, 200 kcals. are utilized during qiyam for the 20 rak`as.

Such additional exercise utilizes any extra calories, ingested at iftar (meal for breaking the fast) approximately 1-2 hours earlier. Simultaneously, the blood glucose is steadily rising in the blood from the ingested nutrients; the circulating glucose is oxidized to CO2 and H20 during the prayers.

The physical movements during qiyam prayers improve flexibility, co-ordination and relaxation response. It also reduces stress-related autonomic responses in normal persons and relieves anxiety and depression. Adrenaline and noradrenalin are secreted during the physical exercise of qiyam. They are responsible for the consequent dynamism, which now combines with the tranquility and the serenity, due to the secretion of enkephalins, endorphins, dynorphins and others.

This makes the night prayers unique in the sense that dynamism is combined in the same individual with serenity, euphoria and dignity. The effects of adrenaline and noradrenaline are apparent, even after long night prayers is over, as evidenced by the continuing activity. In fact, even the thought or intention of performing qiyam prayers is sufficient to activate the sympathetic nervous system. Persons who fast and perform qiyam report feeling much better and healthier.

Repeated and regular movements of the body during prayers improve muscle tone and power, tendon strength, joint flexibility and the cardio-vascular reserve. The body movements help to prevent osteoporosis in the osteoporotic bones of elderly men and post-menopausal women.

The strain put on the forearm, during prostration in lifting the body from the ground, increases the bone mineral content of the forearm. The varying load during the different postures causes a lubricating effect and a protective flow of synovial fluid into the joint cavity. The reinforcement of the calf muscle pump by active ankle movements prevents deep vein thrombosis, which is a common cause of chronic ulcers of the legs in the elderly.

Exercise prevents coronary heart disease, improves carbohydrate tolerance and ameliorates late-onset type 2 diabetes. Growth hormone secretion elevated by fasting is further elevated by exercise of long night prayers. As this hormone is necessary for collagen formation, this may be an important factor in the long delay of the wrinkling of skin for the fasting Muslim who performs qiyam prayers.

Exercise of qiyam improves mood, thought and behavior. Memory for short-term events deteriorates with old age. Prayers improve memory in the elderly, for short-term events, by keeping the memory pathways in the brain open and communicating with each other, especially with constant repetition of the verses from the holy Qur’an and other supplications of Allah’s glory. This also helps to screen the mind from other incoming thoughts.

The repetition of a prayer, supplications of glorification, dhikr (words glorifying Allah) or muscular activity, coupled with passive disregard of intrusive thoughts, causes a relaxation response, leading to lowering of B.P. and decrease in oxygen consumption, as well as a reduction in the heart and respiratory rates.

All these are combined in qiyam prayers, which is an ideal situation for relaxation response, as it combines repeated muscular activity with repetition of words of glorification of Allah and supplications. Thus qiyam puts the mind at ease. Islamic prayers are unique in that tension builds up in the muscles, during the physical movements of prayers, with accompanying adrenaline and noradrenalin. Simultaneously, tension is relieved in the mind due to the spiritual component, assisted by the secretion of enkephalins, endorphins, dynorphins and others.

All those persons who perform qiyam prayers feel more alert and active, even after the age of retirement. They can meet with unexpected challenges of life much better, such as running for a bus! This improves their stamina, self-esteem and self-confidence in being independent.

Country State Dropdown Data / Java Program to create Country State Database Table Data

2009-07-25T02:54:00.000-07:00

Hi,

I have been struggling long time to get the information for the country state Database Table Data and its implementation in My most of the application,

I have searched through net and now i got few data from the site and I have created Java file to generate the SQL Queries.

The Table Structure i have created as Follows.

Country

ID [PK]

NAME [VARCHAR].

State

ID [PK]

NAME [VARCHAR]

COUNTY_ID [PK] Foreign key to Country Table

You can download the java Class file to generate the SQL Queries directly from My Google Docs http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AW0ekoc5wU3rZGYyMnZrZmtfN2NtYnF3dmQ0&hl=en

If you require the SQL File Directly you can download from My Docs as .

http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AW0ekoc5wU3rZGYyMnZrZmtfOGQzM2c4NGdr&hl=en

I am Thankful to the website http://www.microcosmotalk.com/tech/scripts/ for the datas of countries and States in their site javascipt file.

[I converted Java and sql file to txt format just to upload in Google Docs. :) ]

Hope it will help you out.

2008-12-30T01:43:00.000-08:00

I am facing issue while adding FacesMessages to the Current FacesConfig. My Implementation is as Follows
public void addUser(){
......
String message = "Duplicate user name. Username already exists";
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage(null, new FacesMessage( FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO, message, message));
}

But I am getting the following warning and I am not able to Show the error message in the Client Side Page.

WARNING: FacesMessage(s) have been enqueued, but may not have been displayed.sourceId=rstReport:timeHorizonDecoration:timeHorizon[severity=(ERROR 2), summary=(value is required), detail=(value is required)]

The Solution I made as
I have Created a Utility class to add the Error messages into the Current FacesConfig Instance.


import java.util.Iterator;

import javax.faces.application.FacesMessage;
import javax.faces.component.UIComponent;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;

public class ErrorMsgUtil {
   public static void addError(FacesMessage.Severity severity,String componentId,String    messageText){
       FacesMessage message = new FacesMessage(messageText);
       FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
       UIComponent component = findComponent(context.getViewRoot(), componentId);
       context.addMessage(component.getClientId(context), message);
   }

   private static UIComponent findComponent(UIComponent parent, String id) {
       if(id.equals(parent.getId())) {
          return parent;
       }
       Iterator kids = parent.getFacetsAndChildren();
       while(kids.hasNext()) {
          UIComponent kid = kids.next();
          UIComponent found = findComponent(kid, id);
          if(found != null) {
             return found;
          }
       }
       return null;
   }
}

And I have Called the Error Method as Follows


public void addUser(){
   try{
      ...........
      ... addUser ... Code
   }catch(UserAlreadyExistException e){
      String message = "Duplicate user name. Username already exists";
      ErrorMsgUtil.addError(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR,"errorMsg", msg);
   }
}

and added one h:message for="errorMsg";

It is working fine for the AJAX4JSF Page implementation.

How to Integrate Seam2.0 with GMail SMTP to Send Mails.

2008-12-10T23:04:00.000-08:00

Hi,
Step 1.

For Setting Up the GMail SMTP for the Seam mail Functionality First of All Set the SMTP details in the mail-service.xml in the JBoss\server\default\deploy Folder.
Create on Mail Template File As Follows.
Also Add the property mail.smtp.auth

property name="mail.smtp.auth" value="true" in the properties File.

Step 2:

Set this Configuration File Entry in Components.xml file as follows.
Comment the Existing Session !-- mail:mail-session host="localhost" port="2525" username="test" password="test" --

And teh new Entry will be as follows.
mail:mail-session session-jndi-name="java:/Mail"/

Step 3.

Create an XHTML FIle With Mail Format as follows like Simplemail.xhtml

Step 4:

Create an Session Bean to handle the Request and Send the mail.Named EmailAction.java

import javax.ejb.Local;

@Local
public interface Email{
public void send();
public void destroy();
}

import javax.ejb.Remove;
import javax.ejb.Stateful;

import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Destroy;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.In;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Logger;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Name;
import org.jboss.seam.log.Log;
@Stateful
@Name("email")
public class EmailAction implements Email
{    
    @In(create=true)
    private org.jboss.seam.faces.Renderer renderer;
   
    @Logger private Log log;
    public void send() {
      try {
         renderer.render("/samplemail.xhtml");
         log.info("email sent to asker");
     }catch (Exception e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
         log.info("Error while sending the mail");
     }
    }

    @Remove
    @Destroy
    public void destroy() {}
    }
}

Call this send method from any of the JSF Command Button as follows.
h:commandLink value="Send Mail to Asker" action="#{email.send}"/.
