You can submit a form via Ajax by the jQuery Form Plugin . There are two main methods: ajaxForm : prepares a form for Ajax submit. Example: $('#myFormId').ajaxForm({ target: ... When the form is submitted, it is sent via Ajax. ajaxSubmit : submit a form via Ajax. Example: $('#myForm2').submit(function() { // i... jQuery Form Plugin is not in the core jQuery API, so you have to include an additional JS file: <head> <script type="text/javascript" ...

There are two ways to get the submit button: Use the :submit selector (note the space between the form name and :submit ): $('#the-form-id :submit') Use attribute selector (also, space between form id and attribute selector): $('#the-form-id [type="submit"] ') // or $(... jQuery recommends the latter if you are concerned about performance: Because :submit is a jQuery extension and not part of the CSS specification, queries using :submit cannot take advantage of the performance boost provided by the native DOM querySelectorAll() method. For better performance in modern browsers, use [type="submit"] instead.

In the test for the simple taglib example , I used a literal string for the name attribute: <my:hello name="Jack"/> What happens if the name attribute contains EL expresson? For example: <my:hello name="#{param['name']}"/> If EL works, the tag should take the value of the " name " request parameter and print it out. But the tag as implemented in the simple taglib example prints the literal string: Hello #{param['name']}! I am FaceletTag. In order to make a tag to recognize EL, we have to use TagAttribute.getValue(FaceletContext ctx) instead of TagAttribute.getValue() . The latter returns the literal value of the attribute. The HelloTagHandler should be changed to: package com.example; import java.io.IOExcep... Rebuild the taglib and test with a URL like this: http://localhost:8080/facelet-test/?name=Jack The tag will print:...

jQuery automatically maps HTML5 custom data attributes to data storage associated with the data() method. Here's an example: <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"...

I built a very basic JSF application and deployed to Tomcat 7.0.22, but it failed with this error: Caused by: java.lang.ClassFormatError: Absent Code... That looks weird and I wasn't able to find a sensible explanation! So I copied the jsf-api-2.1.jar , which was downloaded from the java.net Maven repository by Maven, into a temp folder. And tested it with this simple program: public class ClassFormatErrorTest { public ... I also copied servlet-api.jar from Tomcat's lib folder to the temp folder. Sure enough it failed with the same error: C:\tmp>java -cp .;jsf-api-2.1.jar;servlet-api.jar ... But when I replaced the javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet class with one I compiled from source, the error disappears! Conclusions: The jar file jsf-api-2.1.jar from java.net Maven repository is good for compilation only (cannot be used...

While doing some Java reflection code, I noticed the method Class.isSynthetic() , which the JavaDoc says returns " true if and only if this class is a synthetic class as defined by the Java Language Specification". However, there's no definition of "synthetic class" in the JLS ! The only thing that I can find that remotely resembles a definition is in the JVM spec , where it defines the synthetic attribute : "The Synthetic attribute is a fixed-length attribute in the attributes table of ClassFile (§4.1), field_info (§4.5), and method_info (§4.6) structures. A class member that does not appear in the source code must be marked using a Synthetic attribute." By this definition, a default constructor, which does not appear in the source code, should...

Method Description object.__getattr__(self,name) Called when an attribute lookup has not found the attribute in the usual places (i.e. it is not an instance attribute nor is it found in the class tree for self ). object.__setattr__(self,name,value) Called when an attribute assignment is attempted. This is called instead of the normal mechanism (i.e. store the value in the instance dictionary). If __setattr__() wants to assign to an instance attribute, it should not simply execute self.name = value — this would cause a recursive call to itself. Instead, for new style classes, it should call the base class method with the same name, for example, object.__setattr__(self, name, value) . For classic classes, it should insert the value in the dictionary of instance attributes, e.g., self.__dict__ [name] =...
