The default servlet for Tomcat is declared in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml :
<servlet>
<servlet-name>default</servle...
Therefore, static content is rendered by the default configuration unless you override it with your own definitions.
If you want to allow directory listing, just change the listing parameter to true :
<init-param>
<param-name>listings</para...
Change the welcome-file-list to display a default page in lieu of a directory listing:
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>home.xhtml</...
Welcome pages are defined at the Web application level.

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
port="8080"
protocol="HTT...

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 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(

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

WEB-INF/spring-servlet.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans x...
WEB-INF/jsp/home.jsp :

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

Our custom tag, as implemented in the previous note , is broken when a template is used.

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...

Resource files under the src/main/resources directory are copied verbatim to the target/classes directory during build. But resources can be filtered by turning on filtering in pom.xml :
<build> <resources> <resource> ... When filtering is turned on, constructs like ${...} are replaced with actual values if they are defined. For example, create a file test.properties : project.stage=${project.stage} The build command " mvn package " simply copies test.properties to target/classes/ . But if you build with: mvn -Dproject.stage=dev package the contents of target/classes/test.properties becomes: project.stage=dev Sometimes you want different resource definitions for different environments, e.g., dev vs. prod. You can achieve that by defining profiles in pom.xml : <profiles> <profile> <id>dev</id> ... In the above, dev is the default profile, prod is defined but not active unless...
