This example decompresses a gzip compressed file with java.util.zip.GZIPInputStream . The input is assumed to be Base64 encoded after being gzipped (such would be the case when binary data is transmitted within an XML file). You don't need the Base64InputStream if the data is not Base64 encoded. import java.io.*; import java.util.zip.GZIPInpu...

The tags XML flow control tags are exactly the same as their Core flow control equivalents, except that the test condition with a boolean EL expression is replaced by the select condition with an XPath expression. In the case of the forEach tag, the items attribute is replaced with the select attribute. In a test condition, the XPath expression is evaluated to a boolean value by the rules of the XPath boolean() function, which converts its argument to a boolean as follows: a number is true if and only if it is neither positive or negative zero nor NaN. a node-set is true if and only if it is non-empty. a string is true if and only if its length is non-zero. an object of...

Get the length of a collection The length function returns the size of a collection. It can be applied to any object supported by the JSTL core tag <c:forEach> , namely: Arrays Implementation of java.util.Collection Implementation of java.util.Iterator Implementation of java.util.Enumeration Implementation of java.util.Map String When used on String , it returns the number of characters in the string.

The -d switch for cURL sends HTTP POST with data from the command line. To verify the data being posted, this is a CGI script that echos the data back: #!C:/perl/bin/perl.exe ## ## echo -- echos ... Examples: POST data from command line: C:\>curl -d input1=value1^&input1=value2 http://lo... POST data from stdin (with @ before the - symbol): C:\>curl -d @- http://localhost/cgi-bin/echo.pl ... POST data from a file (with @ before the - symbol and input redirect): C:\tmp>cat data.txt abcd 1234 xyz ... For some reason, @ with file name didn't work as expected: C:\tmp>curl -d @data.txt http://localhost/cgi-bin/... One thing to notice is that cURL removes the new line characters when posting (thus the echo back is only one line instead of three). This can...

cURL is a command line tool for transferring files with URL syntax. The main purpose and use for cURL is to automate unattended file transfers or sequences of operations. It's really easy to see HTTP headers with curl: C:\>curl --head http://www.google.com HTTP/1.0 ... or, headers and page together (dump headers to stdout): $ curl --dump-header - http://www.google.com HTTP/...

Parsing XML in Java is really simple: import java.io.*; import javax.xml.parsers.Docu... The parser implementation details are hidden behind the JAXP API. In case you want to know which parser implementation is used, this is what the JavaDoc for DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance says: Use the javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory system property. Use the properties file " lib/jaxp.properties " in the JRE directory. This configuration file is in standard java.util.Properties format and contains the fully qualified name of the implementation class with the key being the system property defined above. The jaxp.properties file is read only once by the JAXP implementation and it's values are then cached for future use. If the file does not exist when the first attempt is made to read from it, no further attempts are made to...
