This is a simple JSP custom tags library with tag body. Just like the JSF counterpart , it splits a string and repeats the body for each word, i.e., with this markup:
<%@ taglib uri="http://custom.tag.com/demo" prefix...
output:
<html>
<body>
<p>Hello Tigger!</p>
<p>H...

By default, tomcat uses an enhanced java.util.logging implementation called JULI, which can be configured at two different levels: Globally, with the ${catalina.base}/conf/logging.properties file. Per web application, with WEB-INF/classes/logging.properties . The configuration file is a normal Java properties file: Logging handlers are specified with the handlers property.
handlers = 1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler, ... The root logger can define its set of handlers using the .handlers property. .handlers = 1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler,... A prefix may be added to handler names. The prefix starts with a digit and ends with a dot ( . ), for example: # 1catalina. is a prefix 1catalina.org.apache.j... System property replacement is performed for property values which contain ${systemPropertyName} . Each handler can have its own specific properties: 3manager.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.level = FINE ... Loggers can define their own...

You can add custom implicit variables to JSF pages by using a custom EL resolver, in two simple steps: Write an ELResolver class to resolve the variable Add the ELResolver to faces-config.xml Starting from the Maven Hello World example: Add faces API and EL dependencies to pom.xml :
<dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>o... Add a simple greeter class ( src/main/java/com/example/Greeter.java ): package com.example; public class Greeter {... Add our custom EL resolver ( src/main/java/com/example/ELResolver.java ): package com.example; import java.util.Itera... Add the custom EL resolver to src/main/resources/META-INF/faces-config.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <faces-c... Build JAR with mvn package Drop the JAR into WEB-INF/lib of a webapp and test the new EL with: <h:outputText value="#{Greeter.sayHi('Mike')}"/> Fixed: the setValue method used to throw an exception, which is wrong. @Override public void setValue(ELContext ctx, O......

This is a step-by-step example to create a really simple facelet taglib (in JSF 2 with Maven). Create a simple Maven project with:
mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=com.example -Dartif... Three files are created as a result: pom.xml src/main/java/com/example/App.java src/test/java/com/example/AppTest.java This project should be able to build with: mvn package Add facelet API dependencies to pom.xml : <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.... The compiler plugin section is optional. Remove src/main/java/com/example/App.java , create a new Java class as the facelet Tag Handler ( HelloTagHandler.java ): package com.example; import java.io.IOExcep... This tag handler simply prints a "Hello" message. Create facelet tag declaration file src/main/resources/META-INF/hello.taglib.xml : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <facelet... Build the JAR with mvn clean package Optionally, install it to the local repository: mvn install To use the taglib, simply drop the...

This is a simple example to demonstrate the templating power of JSF facelets. If you've used struts tiles before, you'll recognize the simplicity of templating with facelets. I've stripped out everything else except the pages themselves, just to put our focus on facelets. This is a Maven based project, and you need Tomcat (or any servlet container) to run the resulting webapp. To begin with this is the list of files:
./pom.xml ./src/main/webapp/home.xhtml ./src... I left faces-config.xml in there for completeness sake, it may not be needed. The Maven POM ( pom.xml ): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project... Web app configuration ( WEB-INF/web.xml ): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <web-app... Empty WEB-INF/faces-config.xml : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- Thi... index.jsp is simply a redirect to home.jsf : <% response.sendRedirect("home.jsf"); %>...

This is the task: your client wants to know how the web application is used. That is pretty easy. A plethora of commercial tools or any of the free log analysis tools such as analog and AWStats would fit the bill. But here's the catch: they want to know not only what pages are visited by how many people and when, but also who logged in and did what. Your application is using form based authentication and therefore, everyone is anonymous in the web access log. What to do? This is a servlet filter that generates a web access log with authenticated user info that can be fed to log analysis tools such as analog and AWStats . Filter code (the output format is Apache...

I tried to find a GZIP compression servlet filter to compress a large log file that we send down to the browser. Most of the implementations I found were overly complicated and many buggy. This is a simple implementation that worked for me. The filter:
package filter.demo; import java.io.*; i... Config web.xml : <filter> <filter-name>gzipFilter</filte... The ugly anonymous inner class could have been avoided if the servlet API did not insist on ServletResponse.getOutputStream returning the bogus ServletOutputStream class (instead of the plain OutputStream ). Additional Note: In an earlier version of this filter, the gzip headers were added in doFilter , like this: // This is NOT good! if (supportsGzip) { ... It turned out that the ServletResponse methods sendError bypasses the gzip...

JavaDoc says that you can call getOutputStream or getWriter on ServletResponse , but you cannot call both. The second call will get IllegalStateException .
So this works:
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;

So does this:
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
im...
But not this:
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
im...
You can make the last servlet work if you insert a filter like this:
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
im...
But depending on the underlying implementation, the order of the output strings may be undetermined.

With JBoss (Tomcat?), the servlet container always appends the default charset ISO-8859-1 to the Content-Type header of a JSP response. For example, if you are using JSP to render PDF and put the following declaration at the top of the JSP:
<%@ page contentType="application/pdf"%> These would be the headers in the HTTP response (notice that charset=ISO-8859-1 was appended to Content-Type ): HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1 X-... And the output would be truncated a few bytes before non-ASCII characters were encountered, without any error messages ! Maybe you don't intend to output binary files with JSP, but still your response would be truncated without warning if the page happens to contain any non-ASCII characters (when the charset is the default charset=ISO-8859-1 ). However, if you...
