After a user resets a password, I want to force the user to change the password before she gets access to secured content. This is usually done with a servlet filter. But with Spring MVC, you can also use a HandlerInterceptor . According to Spring JavaDoc: HandlerInterceptor is basically similar to a Servlet 2.3 Filter, but in contrast to the latter it just allows custom pre-processing with the option of prohibiting the execution of the handler itself, and custom post-processing. Filters are more powerful, for example they allow for exchanging the request and response objects that are handed down the chain. Note that a filter gets configured in web.xml, a HandlerInterceptor in the application context. As a basic guideline, fine-grained handler-related preprocessing tasks are candidates...

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....

In this example I'll add a parameter to a facelets template. The example contains three tabs, each tab points to a different page. The tab control is shared among all pages, therefore, it is put in the template.
Starting from the simple facelet example , make these additions:
Create a new template WEB-INF/templates/tabs.xhtml :
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Stric...
Add a page for the about tab ( about.xhtml ):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ui:comp...
Add a page for the news tab ( news.xhtml ):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ui:comp...
Add a page for the partner tab ( partner.xhtml ):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ui:comp...
Build and re-deploy the application. Launch the browser and load page http://localhost:8080/facelet-demo/about.jsf .

Facelet templates can be nested, for example, a page can use a template which inherits from another template. To demonstrate this, let's start from the simple example and make these additions:
Add a place holder for CSS style sheets in WEB-INF/templates/default.xhtml :
<h:head>
<title>Facelets Template Demo</tit...
Add a derivative template ( WEB-INF/templates/default-style.xhtml ) which provides CSS:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ui:comp...
Add a page that uses the styled template ( home-style.xhtml ):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ui:comp...
The only difference between this file and home.xhtml is the template being used.
Compare the display of the pages home.xhtml and home-style.xhtml .

When you run automated Android tests with Eclipse or from the command line, you get text output, which isn't good for reporting purposes. If you run a large set of test cases with automated build, the text report isn't very helpful. Fortunately, Android CTS generates test reports in XML with accompanying XSL to make it look nice in a browser. To run your own tests with Android CTS: Download Android CTS Make a new directory MyRepository under android-cts , alongside the existing repository directory. Copy host_config.xml from repository to MyRepository Create directory plans under MyRepository , add a test plan ( MyTests.xml ):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <TestPla... Create directory testcases under MyRepository . Copy TestDeviceSetup.apk from repository/testcases to MyRepository/testcases Under MyRepository/testcases , create a test...

This is a step by step guide to get you started with Android development. It is not intended to be systematic. For that purpose, Google's Android Developer's Guide is the best choice. The purpose of this tutorial is to get you started with Android coding as quickly as possible, with the least amount of fuss. I believe that nothing beats hands on experience when you are learning a new thing. Preparations: Download and install the Android SDK. Make sure you download at least one Android platform and the SDK Platform-tools (step 4 of the installation guide). For the purposes of this tutorial, you don't need Eclipse. Download and install Apache Ant . First steps: Create an AVD (Android Virtual Device) Start the Android emulator with...
