Best way for producing static html?

I would like to write a program that produces some static web pages that will display some summary stats from stats that are collected in a database but cleared out every few days.
I'm not sure where to begin or what I should be looking at for producing static html pages. Can anyone offer suggestions?
Thanks

Use the KISS principal.
XML with XSLT is a huge learnng curve, IMHO. It most
likely way overkill for your needs.
Well, let's see - if I go the application route as you suggested I need to do the following things:
Connect to the Database
Get a ResultSet of Data I am interested in presenting
Iterate over this ResultSet constructing an HTML page likely via a ton of "output "<TR><TD>" + someData + "</TD>" " type statements.
If I go the XSLT route then I do something like this:
Connect to the Database
Get a ResultSet of Data I am interested in presenting
Iterate over this ResultSet constructing some normal Java classes
Use something like Castor to convert these things to XML, or just use the XMLEncoder class in the standard lib.
Use XSLT to convert that to HTML
The second way involves learning more technologies than the first, but then it also moves the layout of your page out of the code and into an XSLT file where it (IMO) belongs. And it's not that much more complex, really.
Besides, to me "learning more technologies" is still a plus instead of a minus. KISS is a good thing to keep in mind, but this profession makes it difficult to avoid learning new things.
Good Luck

  • Best way to create an html from application

    I need connect to an Oracle database and generate a static report from the result Query.

    you don't need a library. html is verry easy to use. you only have to write text to a file with html-tags.
    hope it helps

  • Which is the best way for a called function to identify caller class name.

    Which is the best way for a called function to identify the caller class name .
    1)Using sun.reflect.Reflection from called function
                    Class caller = Reflection.getCallerClass(2);
                    System.out.println("Caller Class Name ::"+caller.getName());2) Analyzing current threads stack trace from called function

    Called function doesn’t have any arguments, I don’t want t pass any arguments from caller function to called function.
    Plz help.

  • Best Practice for Using Static Data in PDPs or Project Plan

    Hi There,
    I want to make custom reports using PDPs & Project Plan data.
    What is the Best Practice for using "Static/Random Data" (which is not available in MS Project 2013 columns) in PDPs & MS Project 2013?
    Should I add that data in Custom Field (in MS Project 2013) or make PDPs?
    Thanks,

    Hi Dale,
    I have a Project Level custom field "Supervisor Name" that is used for Project Information.
    For the purpose of viewing that "Project Level custom field Data" in
    Project views , I have made Task Level custom field
    "SupName" and used Formula:
    [SupName] = [Supervisor Name]
    That shows Supervisor Name in Schedule.aspx
    ============
    Question: I want that Project Level custom field "Supervisor Name" in
    My Work views (Tasks.aspx).
    The field is enabled in Task.aspx BUT Data is not present / blank column.
    How can I get the data in "My Work views" ?

  • What are the best ways (for best performance) in MII to process the incoming process messages from shop floor systems to SAP ECC 6.0 and vice versa?

    Hi All,
    Can you please suggest to choose the best ways (for best performance) in MII (12.2 on NW 7.3), to process the incoming process messages from shop floor systems to SAP ECC 6.0 and vice versa?
    Thanks

    Hi Surya,
    Best practices for flow of data from ECC --> SAP MII --> Shop floor & Vice verse:
    1. Send ECC data through IDOC's/RFC's as messages to SAP MII message listener and BSL transaction process data and update directly on shop floor database as if you configured in Data services or later send those data by web service to shop floor system (i.e. depends on Shop floor machines).
    From Shop floor:
    shop floor --> SAP MII --> ECC
    1. Use either Web service or fetch data from DB and pass data to BAPI's  for sending to ECC through BLS transaction.

  • Best way for building an application main frame

    I'm about to program a desktop application.
    The main frame will have menus, toolbar, status bar etc.
    There will be a lot of interaction between the menus, toolbar buttons and other custom gui components (such as an editor).
    My question is which is the best way for building it.
    Cramming all the code in one class file is out of the question.
    I thought about making my own custom JFrame and add API functions like for it so different GUI elements can be accessed.
    Each component which will be manipulated will be in its own class file with the constructor accepting a reference to my custom JFrame object which it is contained in.
    Any suggestions on the matter would be of great help since I've never done extensive Swing programming before.
    P.S.
    The application makes extensive use of RMI.
    What considerations should I take into account (except using SwingUtilities.invokeLater()) ?

    Hi,
    I have replied on this subject somewhere else today but what I do is have one simple entry point where I just instanciate a JFrame.
    On that frame I have a main JPanel. On that panel I add new objects like JPanels, tabs etc.
    I keep each new panel in a separate source as it is easier when the application grows, and it will. That also means that several programers can work with the same application without interfearing each other.
    I hope you understand what I mean the the thing is to split up the code into several sources.
    It may not suit everyone but I found this approach to be the best for me.

  • HT4914 I purchased iMatch because my old computer was failing and I was afraid of losing my music library. Now I bought a new laptop; what is the best way for me to transfer my library to my new laptop? Will iMatch help me do this?

    I purchased iMatch because my old computer was failing and I was afraid of losing my music library. Now I bought a new laptop; what is the best way for me to transfer my library to my new laptop? Will iMatch help me do this?

    Is/was failing or has failed?
    If the old computer still runs one of these methods may be best.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    I don't have personal experience with iTunes Match, but in principle you should be able to download all the tracks currently registered to your iTunes Match account. This isn't quite the same as restoring your previous library exactly as it was. There is always the potential for iTunes match to provide the wrong version of a song and could be content such as movies, podcasts, audiobooks etc. that would have been excluded.

  • Hello, what is the best way for me to convert RW2 raw format for use in Photoshop CC

    Hello, what is the best way for me to convert RW2 raw format for use in Photoshop CC. I would appreciate any help with this.

    Thanks for the quick help. I do have to leave for work. When I try to
    download the images from the camera they seem to only be in jpeg (I don't
    see any rw2 or raw files to download). If I select the jpeg file it seems
    to only download a jpeg file. I do understand that I do have the option to
    open the jpeg in RAW. In doing this, is all the extra information included
    in the RAW file there or is it lost coming from the camera
    Once again thank you for trying to make me understand how this works.
    Have a great day.

  • Best way for capturing HDV

    Best way for capturing HDV
    using easy setup setted to HDV1080 50i (camera is a Sony HDV HC1) captured video look like sh...
    and when exported with compressor is worst!
    some idea?

    Ok fantastic ! you are right (the frustration was talking for me)
    video is shooted in 16:9 HDV 1080 50i
    Captured video looks:
    full of orizontal lines (that look like scan lines) expecially evident on figure edges and on motion subjects
    and
    like it was resized 1440x1080i from a different lower resolution
    video is exported with compressor
    MPEG-2 3.7Mbps 2-pass 16:9
    Description: Fits up to 150 minutes of video with Dolby Digital audio at 192 Kbps or 120 minutes with AIFF audio on a DVD-5
    File Extension: m2v
    Video Encoder
    Format: M2V
    Width and Height: Automatic
    Pixel aspect ratio: default
    Crop: None
    Frame rate: (100% of source)
    Frame Controls: Automatic
    Aspect ratio: 16:9
    Field dominance: Auto detect
    Average data rate: 3.7 (Mbps)
    2 Pass VBR enabled
    Maximum data rate: 7.5 (Mbps)
    High quality
    Best motion estimation
    Closed GOP Size: 1/2 second, Structure: IBBP
    DVD Studio Pro meta-data enabled
    In these case the first problem is i can't obtain 16:9 format an the lines becomes more more evidents
    software is Final cut Studio HD
    camera is Sony HDV HC1e
    hope I wrote all the info
    Thx
