Tomcat gzip compression filter can be turned on with " compression=on " in server.xml :
<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
...
The default compressed MIME types are: text/html,text/xml,text/plain .
It would be nice to add other types:
<Connector

You can customize Tomcat error page with error code:
<error-page>
<error-code>404</error-code>
...
or Java exception type:
<error-page>
<exception-type>java.lang.Throwab...
Either error-code or exception-type is required, but not both. There's no way to aggregate error codes, such as:
<!-- This does not work! -->
<error-page>
...
Customizing error pages is about the only way to suppress the default stack trace in Tomcat in case of an unhandled exception.

Javadoc for javax.validation.Validation gives three ways to bootstrap JSR303 validation:
Build default validator factory:
ValidatorFactory factory = Validation.buildDefault...
The logic for buildDefaultValidatorFactory is:
if XML configuration ( META-INF/validation.xml ) defines a provider, use it.
if XML configuration does not exist or does not define a provider, use the first provider returned by ValidationProviderResolver .
Use custom ValidationProviderResolver :
Configuration<?> configuration = Validation
...
Ask for a specific provider by class:
EXAMPLEConfiguration configuration = Validation
...

The insertAttribute tag allows you to have a body as well as specify a default value, but both values are scriptless , i.e., scriptlet is not allowed in body:

And, <put-attribute> in tiles definition does not replace the body of <tiles:insertAttribute> , it appends to the body!

The annotation @org.hibernate.annotations.Type overrides the default hibernate mapping type used for a column. This can usually be omitted since Hibernate normaly infers the correct type to use.
But @Type is required in ambiguous scenarios such as a java.util.Date attribute, which can map to SQL DATE , TIME or TIMESTAMP . You use the @Type("timestamp") annotation to tell Hibernate that a timestamp converter should be used, which identifies an instance of org.hibernate.type.TimestampType .
@Type can also be used to identify custom type converters, which can be defined with @TypeDef at the class level:
@TypeDefs(
{
@TypeDef(

Oracle sqlplus command line tools does not support command line editing out-of-the-box. But on Linux there's a handy utility that enables command line editing with any command line tool: rlwrap - readline wrapper.
Install rlwrap:
$ sudo apt-get install rlwrap
Create a keywords file .sql.dict (optional, but convenient):

It would be nice to add the tables names also.
Create an alias for sqlplus (put it in .bashrc ):
alias sqlplus='rlwrap -f $HOME/.sql.dict sqlplus'

By default Firefox puts a dotted line box around the link or button label when you click them. Sometimes it's annoying and makes your sexy buttons look ugly. You can get rid of the dotted lines for links with outline:none in CSS, but that doesn't work for buttons.

For buttons you need " button::-moz-focus-inner { border: 0; } ":

This is a simple Hello World application with Spring 3 MVC. Like the default Apache HTTPd welcome page, it displays " It works! " when successfully deployed. The sole purpose is to show the minimum elements needed to setup Spring 3 MVC.
I use Maven since it's so much easier than downloading the dependencies manually.
Directory layout:
./src
./src/main
./src/main/webapp
./src/...
pom.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project...
WEB-INF/web.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml (empty, but needed):

Build with:
mvn clean package
The resulting webapp is target/springmvc.war .
