This is a utility to convert a byte array to hex string, and to convert a hex string back to the original.
To convert a String to hex, you must call String.getBytes() first. The utility does not pretend to know your string encoding.
public class StringHexUtil {
public static ...
This also works:
String binaryToHex(byte[] data) {

You can define environment variables in the Tomcat context.xml file like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context...

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):

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

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:

<html>
<body>

The spring MVC annotation-driven declaration:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <beans x... does the following magic : Among others, registers: RequestMappingHandlerMapping RequestMappingHandlerAdapter ExceptionHandlerExceptionResolver in support of processing requests with annotated controller methods using annotations such as @RequestMapping , @ExceptionHandler , etc. Enables Spring 3 style type conversion through a ConversionService instance in addition to the JavaBeans PropertyEditors used for Data Binding. Enables support for formatting Number fields using the @NumberFormat annotation through the ConversionService . Enables support for formatting Date, Calendar, Long, and Joda Time fields using the @DateTimeFormat annotation, if Joda Time 1.3 or higher is present on the classpath. Enables support for validating @Controller inputs with @Valid , if a JSR-303 Provider is present on the classpath. Enables HttpMessageConverter support for @RequestBody method parameters and...

Tomcat allows you to create multiple server instances for the same installation. The installation directory is identified as CATALINA_HOME , the instance directory is identified as CATALINA_BASE . Here are the steps: Create a base directory for the new instance, for example: /home/nogeek/tomcat1 . Create the subdirectories:

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...
