These bean types are essential for the Spring MVC framework. I copied them here from the Spring Documentation for quick reference. Bean type Explanation HandlerMapping Maps incoming requests to handlers and a list of pre- and post-processors (handler interceptors) based on some criteria the details of which vary by HandlerMapping implementation. The most popular implementation supports annotated controllers but other implementations exists as well. HandlerAdapter Helps the DispatcherServlet to invoke a handler mapped to a request regardless of the handler is actually invoked. For example, invoking an annotated controller requires resolving various annotations. Thus the main purpose of a HandlerAdapter is to shield the DispatcherServlet from such details. HandlerExceptionResolver Maps exceptions to views also allowing for more complex exception handling code. ViewResolver Resolves logical String-based...

The Android unit test framework is based on JUnit 3 , not JUnit 4. Test cases have to extend junit.framework.TestCase or a subclass (such as android.test.InstrumentationTestCase ). Tests are identified by public methods whose name starts with test , not methods annotated with @Test (as in JUnit 4). An Android test suite is packaged as an APK, just like the application being tested. To create a test package, first you need to identify the application package it is testing. Google suggests to put the test package source in a directory named tests/ alongside the src/ directory of the main application. At runtime, Android instrumentation loads both the test package and the application under test into the same process. Therefore, the tests can invoke methods on...

I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 desktop on my old Dell laptop, but the cdrom is not auto-mounting. Normally this simply works. I tried various things like adding cdrom to /etc/fstab and installing halevt (which failed), none worked. However, I found out that despite talks of using gnome-volume-manager etc, at least for this version of Ubuntu automount is managed by Nautilus (file manager): start gconf-editor and navigate to /apps/nautilus/preferences/ , media_automount should be checked (but it's checked by default, unless you changed it). In the end, I wasn't able to make cdrom automount, although USB drives automounted fine. Instead of wasting more time to diagnose the problem, I manually mounted the cdrom drive: $ sudo mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom

This is a list of built-in Android permission values: Permission Description Since API Level android.permission.ACCESS_CHECKIN_PROPERTIES Allows read/write access to the "properties" table in the checkin database, to change values that get uploaded. 1 android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION Allows an application to access coarse (e.g., Cell-ID, WiFi) location 1 android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION Allows an application to access fine (e.g., GPS) location 1 android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION_EXTRA_COMMANDS Allows an application to access extra location provider commands 1 android.permission.ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION Allows an application to create mock location providers for testing 1 android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE Allows applications to access information about networks 1 android.permission.ACCESS_SURFACE_FLINGER Allows an application to use SurfaceFlinger's low level features 1 android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE Allows applications to access information about Wi-Fi networks 1 android.permission.ACCOUNT_MANAGER Allows applications to call into AccountAuthenticators. Only the system can get this permission. 5 android.permission.AUTHENTICATE_ACCOUNTS...

By Android documentation , odex files are "Optimized DEX" files, which can be created in at least three different ways: The VM does it "just in time". The output goes into a special dalvik-cache directory. This works on the desktop and engineering-only device builds where the permissions on the dalvik-cache directory are not restricted. On production devices, this is not allowed. The system installer does it when an application is first added. It has the privileges required to write to dalvik-cache . The build system does it ahead of time. The relevant jar / apk files are present, but the classes.dex is stripped out. The optimized DEX is stored next to the original zip archive, not in dalvik-cache , and is part of the system...

An XML schema is a definition of XML files, in XML. It plays the same role as old-time DTDs. Overall, an XML schema file looks like this: <schema attributeFormDefault = (qualified | u... The attribute meanings: targetNamespace : The name space targeted by the current schema definition. It can be any URI. id and version : For user convenience, the W3C spec defines no semantics for them. xml:lang : Natural language identifier defined by RFC 3306 . attributeFormDefault and elementFormDefault : Set default values for the form attribute for attribute and element declarations. blockDefault and finalDefault : Set default values for the block and final attributes for attribute and element declarations. The W3C defined some built-in datatypes . Examples of primitive datatypes are: string ,...

grep is a versatile command with many variations (grep, egrep, fgrep, then various implementations). It uses a regula expression (regex) pattern to filter input. But then there are basic and extended flavors of regex - leading to even more confusion. And, beware that there are lots of bad examples of regex in the wild... There are two critical questions to ask when you use grep: which grep implementation are you using? what is the flavor of the regex? Here are some examples for gnu grep v2.7: # Find all numbers (no decimal point), basic regex... Use the -o flag to show only the matching part instead of the whole matching line: grep -o -E '\b[0-9]{2}\b' The good thing about the gnu grep is that it...
