This snippet sets system properties from Maven surefire test plugin. This is useful when you want to set logging (for example, log4j) properties based on Maven project properties.
Example that sets system property testlog.dir :
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apach...
Example log4j.xml that uses system property testlog.dir :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Some example snippets for Spring message configuration and usage.

<bean id="messageSource"

Locale change interceptor can also be setup with:

<beans x...
The messages file should be named messages.properties (or messages_en.properties , etc.) and located on CLASSPATH , for example: WEB-INF/classes .
To use a message resource in JSP:
<%@ taglib prefix="spring" uri="http://www.springf...

This is a simple Hello World application with Spring 3 MVC. Like the default Apache HTTPd welcome page, it displays " It works! " when successfully deployed. The sole purpose is to show the minimum elements needed to setup Spring 3 MVC.
I use Maven since it's so much easier than downloading the dependencies manually.
Directory layout:
./src
./src/main
./src/main/webapp
./src/...
pom.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project...
WEB-INF/web.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app...
WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml (empty, but needed):

Build with:
mvn clean package
The resulting webapp is target/springmvc.war .

Configure DispatcherServlet with WEB-INF/spring-servlet.xml , which configures WebApplicationContext specific to this servlet.

Optionally, use context-param in web.xml to configure the global WebApplicationContext :

If you omit this section, you have to create file WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml , even if it's empty.

This is a simple JSP custom tags library with tag body. Just like the JSF counterpart , it splits a string and repeats the body for each word, i.e., with this markup:
<%@ taglib uri="http://custom.tag.com/demo" prefix...
output:
<html>
<body>

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...

You can add custom implicit variables to JSF pages by using a custom EL resolver, in two simple steps: Write an ELResolver class to resolve the variable Add the ELResolver to faces-config.xml Starting from the Maven Hello World example: Add faces API and EL dependencies to pom.xml :
<dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>o... Add a simple greeter class ( src/main/java/com/example/Greeter.java ): package com.example; public class Greeter {...

Add the custom EL resolver to src/main/resources/META-INF/faces-config.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <faces-c... Build JAR with mvn package Drop the JAR into WEB-INF/lib of a webapp and test the new EL with: <h:outputText value="#{Greeter.sayHi('Mike')}"/> Fixed: the setValue method used to throw an exception, which is wrong. @Override public void setValue(ELContext ctx, O......

This is an example that uses tag handler, UI component and renderer together to support a custom taglib. The main purpose is to show how these components play together.
The tag renders

<ul class="css class" extra...
These are the files:
The tag handler ( src/main/java/com/example/ForeachTagHandler.java ):
