Our custom tag, as implemented in the previous note , is broken when a template is used.
Create a template file ( home-template.xhtml ):
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Stric...
and a test page that uses it ( home.xhtml ):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ui:comp...
Then request the page with URL: http://localhost:8080/facelet-demo/home.jsf?name=Jack .
You'll find that our hello tag works inside ui:repeat but fails to get the value defined by ui:param ! What's the problem? Our hello tag implementation evaluated the EL with the wrong EL context!
This is the corrected implementation:
package com.example;
import java.io.IOExcep...

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......

This is an HTML image tag filter using Java regex. It takes a string, finds the img tags, replaces the src attribute with one provided by the filter, then adds a class name to the class attribute.

I've seen both
<context-param>
<param-name>javax.faces.PRO...
and
<context-param>
<param-name>facelets.DEVE...
in web.xml .
But I cannot find any documentation of facelets.DEVELOPMENT in the JSF 2 spec. I cannot find any code referencing facelets.DEVELOPMENT in mojarra-2.1.3-FCS (the reference JSF implementation) either. So my guess is facelets.DEVELOPMENT is a thing of the past .
About javax.faces.PROJECT_STAGE , this is what's documented in the JSF 2 spec:
javax.faces.PROJECT_STAGE - A human readable string describing where this particular JSF application is in the software development lifecycle.
Valid values are “ Development ”, “ UnitTest ”, “ SystemTest ”, or “ Production ”, corresponding to the enum constants of the class javax.faces.application.ProjectStage .
It is also possible to set this value via JNDI. See the javadocs for Application.getProjectStage() .

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...

When you run automated Android tests with Eclipse or from the command line, you get text output, which isn't good for reporting purposes. If you run a large set of test cases with automated build, the text report isn't very helpful. Fortunately, Android CTS generates test reports in XML with accompanying XSL to make it look nice in a browser. To run your own tests with Android CTS: Download Android CTS Make a new directory MyRepository under android-cts , alongside the existing repository directory. Copy host_config.xml from repository to MyRepository Create directory plans under MyRepository , add a test plan ( MyTests.xml ):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <TestPla... Create directory testcases under MyRepository . Copy TestDeviceSetup.apk from repository/testcases to MyRepository/testcases Under MyRepository/testcases , create a test...

In Android.mk , you can define LOCAL_JARJAR_RULES like this:
LOCAL_JARJAR_RULES := $(LOCAL_PATH)/jarjar-rules.t...
and in jarjar-rules.txt define a rule like this:
rule org.bouncycastle.** com.android.@0
The build will change all org.bouncycastle to com.android.org.bouncycastle . Therefore, in your classes which are dependent on the library produced, the import statements should look like:

Some methods to search for a substring within a string:
To know that a substring indeed exists within a string:
boolean found = wholeString.contains(substring);
To find where the substring is contained:
int index = wholeString.indexOf(substring);
If the substring is regex:
boolean match = wholeString.matches(".*" + substri...
Case insensitive match: convert both whole string and substring to lowercase, then compare. Or, use case insensitive flag for regex.
Test code:
import java.util.regex.*;
public class Stri...

While doing some Java reflection code, I noticed the method Class.isSynthetic() , which the JavaDoc says returns " true if and only if this class is a synthetic class as defined by the Java Language Specification". However, there's no definition of "synthetic class" in the JLS ! The only thing that I can find that remotely resembles a definition is in the JVM spec , where it defines the synthetic attribute : "The Synthetic attribute is a fixed-length attribute in the attributes table of ClassFile (§4.1), field_info (§4.5), and method_info (§4.6) structures. A class member that does not appear in the source code must be marked using a Synthetic attribute." By this definition, a default constructor, which does not appear in the source code, should...
