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...

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....

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...

This is a simple web application with a single servlet and a single JSP page. It is intended to be a test bed for JSTL tags. You may want to store all syntax, rules, and exceptions in your head, but in my opinion nothing beats a simple test program that allows you play with it all you want. So here it is (build with Maven ). Prerequisites: Maven: http://maven.apache.org/ . You don't need any prior knowledge of Maven, but you need to install the binary. JBoss: http://jboss.org/jbossas/downloads/ , or Tomcat: http://tomcat.apache.org/ if you don't run the SQL tests. You need to know how to deploy a web application (shh! Don't tell your boss it's just copying a file to the deployment folder). Steps: The directory...

The tags <c:import> The <c:import> tag imports the contents of a URL and expose that in one of three ways: Import contents from a URL and write it out to the page (url may be relative or absolute):
<c:import url="theUrl" /> Import contents from a URL and save it to a scoped variable string named by the var attribute. Use the scope attribute to define the scope of the exported variable. <c:import url="theUrl" var="importTest" scope="ses... Import a URL and expose to a Reader object named by the varReader attribute. The scope attribute does not apply. The varReader scoped variable can only be accessed within the body of <c:import> . <c:import url="theUrl" varReader="theReader"/> <c:url> The <c:url> tag constructs a URL and writes it out to the...
