My problem is simple: in my XML data, a timestamp is provided as a long integer (number of milliseconds since the "the epoch"). When I do XSLT, I want to display it as a readable string, such as "Mon Nov 01 18:08:48 CDT 2010". After hours of struggle, I found: It's not so easy to get the job done with JDK 1.6 There are tons of garbage on the web in this space (suggestions, code snippets that simply don't work) Simple Xalan extension functions was the only resource that's somewhat informative. Even there some of the examples don't work. Below is a list of what worked and what didn't. This works:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="h... This does not (providing long value to Date constructor): <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="h......

Step 1: Repackage a web app as EAR A Java EE application is a multimodule Maven project. At the very least you'll need to package a WAR and an EAR. To get started, I'll simply re-package the simple webapp as an EAR. Create a directory named javaee-app Copy the webapp from here to javaee-app . Rename struts1app to webapp . Create pom.xml under javaee-app :
<project> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>... Create a directory named ear under javaee-app . Create pom.xml under ear : <project> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>... Modify pom.xml in the webapp directory so that it looks like this: <project> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> ... Build with " mvn package " in the javaee-app directory. You can see that ear-1.0.ear is successfully generated in javaee-app/ear/target . Maven successfully resolves dependencies between the sub-projects....

I built a very basic JSF application and deployed to Tomcat 7.0.22, but it failed with this error:
Caused by: java.lang.ClassFormatError: Absent Code... That looks weird and I wasn't able to find a sensible explanation! So I copied the jsf-api-2.1.jar , which was downloaded from the java.net Maven repository by Maven, into a temp folder. And tested it with this simple program: public class ClassFormatErrorTest { public ... I also copied servlet-api.jar from Tomcat's lib folder to the temp folder. Sure enough it failed with the same error: C:\tmp>java -cp .;jsf-api-2.1.jar;servlet-api.jar ... But when I replaced the javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet class with one I compiled from source, the error disappears! Conclusions: The jar file jsf-api-2.1.jar from java.net Maven repository is good for compilation only (cannot be used...

Parsing a CVS file seemed to be a sore spot for software development. It's not simple enough that you can roll your own code in a couple of hours, and yet not deemed big enough for a full-fledged project. As a result, there are multiple libraries, each one with its own quirks. This is a summary of some simple tests I've done with five CSV parsers. Apache commons CSV parser : Does not escape backslash. The backslash is treated as literal if not proceeding a double quote, but then there's no way to have a backslash as the last character before the ending quote (even though it's a rare scenario). IOException thrown for unmatched quotes SuperCSV parser Can't handle escapes inside quotes Throws Exception for...

Demo code for CSV parsing with Apache Commons CSV parser .
Java code:
import java.io.*;
import org.apache.commons.csv...
Test with a simple CSV file:
psmith01,CLASS2B,Peter Smith 1,YEAR2,1,N,ADVANCED,...
Result:
Line 1 has 11 values:
|psmith01|
|CLASS2B|...
The parser worked correctly.
Test with a more complicated CSV file:
"psmith01 abc", "CLASS2B " , " Peter...
Result:
Line 1 has 4 values:
|psmith01 abc|
|CLASS...
The third line is invalid input, but throwing a Java IOException is a bit grave. Also, the parser is not able to escape a backslash.
Add a new line in item two:
"One", "Two
", "Three"
Result:
Line 2 has 3 values:
|One|
|Two
|

The javax.xml.crypto and javax.xml.crypto.dsig packages are not available in Android (as of version 2.3). Therefore, standard Java API does not work. But you can use the Apache Santuario library to do that. Here are the steps:
Download the xml security source distribution (curently version 1.4.4).
Build with ant.
Create your own library jar (only the apache classes, no javax):
jar -cf xmlsec-1.4.4.jar -C build/classes org
Copy xmlsec-1.4.4.jar to the libs directory of your Android project.
Here's the Java code:
import java.io.*;
import javax.xml.parsers.*;

The following code validates a web.xml file against the web-app 2.5 schema:

According to Java API doc , validation can also be done while parsing by calling setSchema on the parsing factory. However, validation doesn't work for the SAXParserFactory!
