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...

This is a step-by-step example to create a really simple facelet taglib (in JSF 2 with Maven). Create a simple Maven project with:
mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=com.example -Dartif... Three files are created as a result: pom.xml src/main/java/com/example/App.java src/test/java/com/example/AppTest.java This project should be able to build with: mvn package Add facelet API dependencies to pom.xml : <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.... The compiler plugin section is optional. Remove src/main/java/com/example/App.java , create a new Java class as the facelet Tag Handler ( HelloTagHandler.java ): package com.example; import java.io.IOExcep... This tag handler simply prints a "Hello" message. Create facelet tag declaration file src/main/resources/META-INF/hello.taglib.xml : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <facelet... Build the JAR with mvn clean package Optionally, install it to the local repository: mvn install To use the taglib, simply drop the...

Java built-in X.509 certificate factory reads CertPath objects encoded in PkiPath or PKCS7 formats. The META-INF/<key_alias>.RSA file generated by Java jarsigner is in PKCS7 format.
Example code:
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import...
PKCS7 files can also be generated by openssl from certificate file(s):
openssl crl2pkcs7 -nocrl -certfile Certs.pem -out ...
Convert PKCS7 from DER to PEM:
openssl pkcs7 -in certs.pk7 -inform DER -out certs...
Sample PKCS7 file:

Format Name Description PKCS #7 Cryptographic Message Syntax Standard A PKCS #7 file can be used to store certificates, which is a SignedData structure without data (just the certificates). The file name extension is usually .p7b , .p7c PKCS #8 Private-Key Information Syntax Standard. Used to carry private certificate keypairs (encrypted or unencrypted). PKCS #12 Personal Information Exchange Syntax Standard. Defines a file format commonly used to store private keys with accompanying public key certificates, protected with a password-based symmetric key. It is the successor to PFX from Microsoft. DER Distinguished Encoding Rules A binary format for keys or certificates. It is a message transfer syntax specified by the ITU in X.690. PEM Privacy Enhanced Mail Base64 encoded DER certificates or keys, with additional header...

A task that a Java developer does so frequently is to find out where a certain class can be found - to resolve compilation errors, classpath issues, or version conflicts of the same class introduced by multiple class loaders. A long while back I wrote a simple Perl script to perform the task. Later I was informed that there are Swing based Jar Browser and Jars Browser . Then, there are a couple of shell one-liners:
# one liner 1 find -name "*.jar" -print0 | xarg... But all of them share the same problem: if a class is in a jar nested in another jar, it cannot be found. Such is the case for a class inside a jar under the WEB-INF/lib directory of a...

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...

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/...
Download openssl from openssl.org:
curl http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.6m....
C:\>curl --help
Usage: curl [options...] <url>

This is an example of using java.beans.XMLEncoder and java.beans.XMLDecoder to serialize/deserialize Java objects to XML. Java code TestXMLEncoder.java:
import java.io.*; import java.beans.XMLEncoder;... SimpleBean.java: public class SimpleBean { private String na... CompositeBean.java: public class CompositeBean { private Simple... NotABean.java: public class NotABean { private String name... Test Output By default, only Java beans can be serialized using XMLEncoder . Exception occurs when you try to deserialize an object which is not a Java bean. Errors actually occur when you try to serialize, but they are ignored. As a result, an XML file is generated by the serialization but the file is useless! Console output: C:\>java TestXMLEncoder Testing simple bean ... simplebean.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <java v... compositebean.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <java v... nodefault.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <java v......
