Can't figure out URL's

I am having difficulty understanding something...
I set up a small application using Spring MVC.
Here is what's in web.xml:
      <servlet>
          <servlet-name>MySpringServlet</servlet-name>
          <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
     </servlet>
     <servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-name>MySpringServlet</servlet-name>
          <url-pattern>/*.php</url-pattern>
     </servlet-mapping>I am using the Resin server and mapped the application URL to localhost:8080/MyApp
I have a welcome file: index.jsp and all it does is redirect the request to a new URL, because I am serving the rest of my JSP's from under WEB-INF.
By the way, is there value in having the JSP under WEB-INF?
Back to my issue, in index.jsp I redirect like this:
     <body>
          <c:redirect url="/HomePage.php" />
     </body>The Spring controller grabs the "*HomePage.php*" part of the redirect even though when I print the requestURI it comes out as MyApp/HomePage.php
It then takes me to HomePage.jsp, and this page has a form, but for some reason, in the action attribute of the form, I can't put */processForm.php* - then the container cannot find it.
Instead, I have to say action="/MyApp/processForm.php".
Why is it possible to just say /HomePage.php in the redirect from index.jsp, but in the form I must put the MyApp in front?
Thanks.

Why is it possible to just say /HomePage.php in the redirect from index.jsp, but in the form I must put the MyApp in front?The tricky bit to get your head around is that "/" can mean different things at the server end and client end.
At the server end (for RequestDispatcher purposes) "/" refers to your context root - ie: http://localhost:8080/MyApp/
At the client end, / refers to http://localhost:8080/. The client knows nothing about the "context root" at all.
So any urls that you generate to your page that use absolute references have to take the context path into account.
This affects links, redirects, form actions etc - anything that will be executed by the client.
To answer your question, the difference is the tags you are using.
The <c:redirect> tag will automagically ADD the application name onto the front of a url.
So <c:redirect url="/HomePage.php"> will ACTUALLY generate a redirect to /MyApp/HomePage.php. Its part of the tags functionality to do this.
I am presuming you have
<form action="/processForm.php">
Because this is just template text, it won't take the context root into account. So possible solutions to the issue are:
// hard code it
<form action="/MyApp/processForm.php">
// add it onto every url dynamically:
<form action="<%= request.getContextPath() %>/processForm.php">
or
<form action="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/processForm.php">
// use a tag library to do it for you
<form action="<c:url value='/processForm.php'/>">
// use a framework to generate a form tag
<stripes:form .... >Hopefully that helps you understand the issue a bit more

My podcast isn't updating and I can't figure out why, please help?

Hi everyone,
I'm at my wits end and I can't figure out what's wrong with my podcast in regards to iTunes.
We have a website we update that originally iTunes was pointed at (http://www.whydaddydrinks.net/?feed=rss2) and then iTunes started having issues with not updating. Recently we tried changing the feed of the podcast to the RSS feed for our podcast hosting account at Podbean (http://whydaddydrinks.podbean.com/feed/) and it's running into the same issue.
I've checked FeedValidator for both feeds and they're fine (http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.whydaddydrinks.net%2F%3F feed%3Drss2 and http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwhydaddydrinks.podbean.com%2 Ffeed%2F). I've clicked the links to the .mp3 files and they play off the web, so, in theory, there shouldn't be any issue as far as I know; Episode 13 shows up in iTunes but dosn't appear to be connected to the file and Season 2 Episode 1 doesn't show up at all.
Can any of you offer any suggestions as to what the heck is going on?

Your Store page is at https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/your-book-is-why-daddy-drinks/id515363310?mt =2
This is using the feed at http://www.whydaddydrinks.net/?feed=rss2 so the other feed URL you posted is irrelevant.
This feed has episodes up to 13 which contain playable media, and these all show in the Store and when subscribing. However the URL for the media file for episode 13 is
http://media40.podbean.com/pb/89ea6f327345e33833ff09885e48b8a1/50e904db/data2/bl ogs48/462271/uploads/YBIWDD_Episode13.mp3
and there is no file at this address. The previous episode downloads OK.
This feed contains two later episodes but neither has an 'enclosure' tag containing the URL of a media file and so the episodes don't show in iTunes. You are using WordPress to make your feed, and this problem arises a lot - it presumably means that you have failed to do something you need to do in WordPress to get the media file into the feed, but I can't advise on specifics of WordPress.
The other feed has one of these two episodes, and there the latest episode does have an 'enclosure' tag and the episode appears when subscribing manually; however as I say this feed is not in use by the Store.
So you need to do with the original feed whatever it was you did with the new feed to get the episode into the Store, and you need to chase the missing media file for episode 13.
If you want to move the Store to using the Podbean feed you need to follow the procedure outlined here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/podcast.html#move
Note that the title in the Podbean feed is 'whydaddydrinks' which many not be what you want.

Can't figure out how to make "sub-tabs" / Too many "top-tabs" / Other ?

First of all, the website that I am webmaster for is: www.cindydennis.org .
I am having some problems:
1) There are TOO MANY tabs at the top. I can't figure out how to make sub-headings on one page...
For example, I'd like on the "About CDM" page, tabs that can be clicked on to go to other information tabs, but that don't end up appearing on the top (e.g.: having "Remarks" and "What We Believe" tabs go there, but not appear at the top).
Another example, if you look at the home screen, I'd like to have the link to the "Privacy Policy" and Terms of Service" pages on the bottom, but not have them appear as tabs in the top, too.
How do I do this, please? I've searched, and can't figure out/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png
2) How do I add "Copyright 2011" automatically? I saw in the Rapidweaver trial version, it automatically adds it when you publish... is there a way to tell this program to do this? Or do I need to type that in on each page? (I don't want to purchase RW... I'm not ready for that yet.)
Thank you in advance
Cindee

Cindee ~ One way to do the copyright notice is to use a Text Clipping — Select (highlight) the copyright text you want to use and drag it to the Desktop. If necessary, change the name of the Clipping icon so that it's more easily identifiable on the Desktop. Then, when you need it in iWeb, simply drag the Clipping icon from the Desktop to iWeb's main canvas.
By the way, rather than posting your URL here like this:
www.cindydennis.org
...include the prefix to make it conveniently clickable:
http://www.cindydennis.org

From there it reads from the file provided in the command line and creates "keys" from the specified length. From there I need to create a phrase of the specified length. If i am supposed to create more then one then i do. That is pretty much it. I can't figure out where (really why) the NullPointerException error is coming from.
Help is appreciated!!

Post the actual error text (copy and paste, don't "interpret" it) here.
It should include a stack trace which references a line number of the program -
unless you suppressed the trace, in which case change your error handling
so that the trace is produced.
Identify which program line in your post the error is pointing to so that we can match
the error with your program, since your post doesn't have line numbers..

Can't figure out how to create an update form in a cfwindow tag

I finally was able to figure out how to do an add form inside
of a cfwindow tag yesterday. But I want this form to be
multipurpose, and allow edits as well. But for the life of me, I
can't figure out how to pass a row of data to the form inside a
cfwindow. Normally, I'd pass the primary key via the URL but if I
try to do that here, it basically reloads the page and closes out
the cfwindow since I have the window set to not show by default.
My page has a list of departments. My page is called
departments.cfm. For each row in the department list, there is a
link called edit. When the user clicks this link, I want the
cfwindow to open with the cfform populated with the data from the
department list for the row selected. Sounds simple enough, except
how do I pass the department_id to the form? If my link is <a
href="departments.cfm?id=#department_id#>Edit</a>, the
cfwindow tag displays and I can see the data in it, but then closes
right away. I finally figured out that it was calling the page
again and the cfwindow is closing because I have it set to not
display by default. I'm about ready to drop this cfwindow and just
do real popup windows via javascript. And I'm normally not in favor
of doing popup windows, but the application I'm working on doesn't
have enough real estate on the screen to do a hidden form, so a
separate window containing the form is my best solution.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Well, this is kind of a tough one for me, but it sounds like
the best way will be to launch a JavaScript function everytime the
user clicks the link, like this:
<cfoutput query="getDepartments">
<a href="javascript:showWin(#yourID#)">show
window</a>
<br>
</cfoutput>
the showWin function will both create the window and launch
it, passing in the user chosen var:
function showWin(id) {
var URL = 'editDeptPage.cfm?dept_id=' + id;
var winName = 'deptWin' + id;
ColdFusion.Window.create(winName, 'Edit the Department',
URL,
{x:100,y:100,height:300,width:400,modal:false,closable:true,
draggable:true,resizable:true,center:true,initshow:true,
minheight:200,minwidth:200 })
The following line of code is supposedly to make sure that
the window refreshes each time it is launched, by naming it
something new each time:
var winName = 'deptWin' + id;
However, if it doesn't work, I think there's a Window refresh
function in the Ext library but I'm not sure.
Also, in the showWin function, after the Window is created,
you might need this but I'm not sure:
ColdFusion.Window.show(winName)
Talk to you later,

I can't figure out why this page splits in live preview... but not in the browser?

I've finally got my site up and it all runs great... except I can't figure out why this one page behaves like it's too wide.

It comes apart in the Live Preview.... but not in the browser preview.
Thanks for any tips...

HTML is a total incrutable mystery to me... a mystery inside a mystery inside a mystery!
Sounds to me like you've almost cracked it!
You have one error that could cause problems and that's the stray </blockquote> tag. Just delete it.
The alt="" text will show as an error on the validator but that's easy to fix and worth doing.
Here's an easy article on that: http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200412/the_alt_and_title_attributes/
In one of your CSS files (JonzheaderindexCSS.css) you have this:
body {
margin-top: 20px;
padding: 0;
color: #666;
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
line-height: normal;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-color: #E1B852;
background-image: url(../images/orange%20plaid.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat;
html { overflow-y: scroll; }
It should be like this:
html {
overflow-y: scroll;
body {
margin-top: 20px;
padding: 0;
color: #666;
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
line-height: normal;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-color: #E1B852;
background-image: url(../images/orange%20plaid.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat;
It looks like you have that rule repeated further down the page like this:
html { overflow-y: scroll; }
There's an extra curly brace there (}) anyway, so it is badly formed but the whole rule and extra curly brace can go.
You can fix those errors but I have a sneaky suspicion that it isn't gong to solve the issue you describe.
Fix those issues anyway and post back. Maybe if you can show a screen shot of what you are seeing in DW it might help?
Martin
PS: It's never a good idea to have file names on the web that have spaces in. Your background rule has this:
background-image: url(../images/orange%20plaid.jpg);
That .jpg should be orangeplaid.jpg or orangePlaid.jpg or orange_plaid.jpg and the change should be reflected in the reference to the image so, orangePlaid.jpg should be:
background-image: url(../images/orangePlaid.jpg);

Searching in address bar takes me to yahoo instead of google now, can't figure out how to reset it.

I used to be able to just type in my searches in the address bar, or if I mis-typed a URL, it would google search it. Now, it does that with Yahoo, and I can't figure out how to reset it. I did the about:config thing, and it didn't work. Suggestions?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I would contact Apple ID Support and see they can do anything from their end or give more detailed instructions.
Also, see Apple ID Support.
They do respond and hope it get's resolved.
Let me know what they say.

Can't figure out directory/path

I can't figure out what "directory/path" to use on my FTP Server Settings.
I know my website address. This is my first time using iWeb.
Whenever I test the connection I get the message "Testing failed. The directory/path couldn't be found. Verify your settings and try again."
Can anyone help? Is there a standard format based on the website address?
John

I found a workaround.
I had the same problem. My website URL is called:
http://www.softtenebraslux.com
In my FTP site, all files are contained within the www/ directory.
If I give a name to my website inside iWeb, there is no way I can publish to www/. No way. Whatever I put in Directory/Path, with or without /. It always create a directory with the site name and put everything inside it. I often ended up with my site being published in:
http://www.softtenebraslux.com/SoftTenebrasLux
where "SoftTenebrasLux" is the content of the field "site name" with blank spaces replaced by underscores.
On the other hand, you can't leave the field "site name" blank. So, I simply put "www" in the site name field, and iWeb will indeed publish to my correct directory (that is, www/). Of course, in iWeb, the site entry name is "www" which is stupid. But at least, I can publish with FTP, which works now fine.
Waiting for a fix for this stupid bug.

I can't figure out how to attach a picture to a post.

Some times it would just be easier to answer a question with a screenshot. I've noticed some pictures in posts but can't figure out how to do it.
Thank you.

Raidrunner,
To post an image in  Discussions, create a Screen Shot of the image you wish to post.
Upload the image to an online storage facility, like one of these linked to below.
Flickr
ImageShack
PhotoBucket
PICVAULT
Twango
Then use HTML formatting, to insert the URL of the location.
Use this format <img src="Insert URL Here">
Post the resulting line of text.
Keep the images small, and unobtrusive, when possible.
You can also just post a Link/URL, to the image location, using either of these formats:
<a href="Insert URL Here">Type Title Here</a>
<img src="Insert URL Here">
Or use Skitch.
Quoted from the Sktch website:
"Skitch.com is a webservice that works hand in hand with our application Skitch to give you 1-click uploading of images for fast and fun image sharing.

Can't figure out how to use home sharing

Since the latest couple iTunes updates, my family and I can not figure out how to use home sharing. Everyone in our household has their own iTunes, and for a long time we would just share our music through home sharing. But with the updates, so much has changed that we can no longer figure out how to use it.
I have a lot of purchased albums on another laptop in the house, that im trying to move it all over to my own iTunes, and I have spent a long time searching the internet, and everything. And I just can't figure out how to do it. So.... how does it work now? I would really like to get these albums from my moms iTunes, onto mine. I would hate to have to buy them all over again.
If anyone is able to help me out here, that would be great! Thanks!

The problem im having is that after I am in another library through home sharing, I can't figure out how to select an album and import it to my library. They used to have it set up so that you just highlight all of the songs you want, and then all you had to do was click import. Now I don't even see an import button, or anything else like it. So im lost... I don't know if it's something im doing wrong, or if our home sharing system just isn't working properly.
Thanks for the help.

Something was hidden in a download and now these double green underlined hyperlinks show up everywhere, and pop ups too whenever I click on ANYTHING. I can't figure out how to find it and get rid of it.

You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.

/Library/Application Support/VSearch

You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

Ok macro works and triggers actions from recorder. I was doing it with hope I will select data in SAP and paste in Excel AND/OR export file from SAP with data.
If I record select column and then copy it. Script is recorded until selection . It ignores copy (i tried use mouse right click and copy AND manual alt+F12 and then copy from context menu)
When I export recorder does open export window but does not writes the line relevant to clicking save.
I found such bits
'Choose the export format
session.findById("wnd[1]/usr/subSUBSCREEN_STEPLOOP:SAPLSPO5:0150/sub:SAPLSPO5:0150/radSPOPLI-SELFLAG[1,0]").select

session.findById("wnd[1]/usr/ctxtDY_PATH").text = "C:\Temp\"
'Export the file
session.findById("wnd[1]/tbar[0]/btn[0]").press
But they dont seem to be relevant to my previous macro.
Any quick fix to get data out of Excel

If I open a photo in "preview", multiple photos open. I just want to open one, but can't figure out how to do it.

I keep multiple photos in a desktop folder to be quickly accessed by using Preview. But when I try to open ONE photo, it opens multiple photos. Can't figure out how to display just the single one that I select. OS 10.7.2

This is the resume feature of Lion. The last state of the application is saved when quitting (i.e last pictures viewed in Preview, last videos viewed in Quicktime etc).
You can switch it off for Preview by copy and pasting the following in to the terminal application
defaults write com.apple.Preview NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false

How do I use my iPhone to connect to the Internet. I down loaded safari v5.1.7 for my PC. I have added my iPhone to my computer but I can't figure out how to setup a hotspot or configure a network so my PC can access my phones data plan. Please help.

And how am I supposed to answer my own question?

I can't figure out how to respond so ill go this route. I can't seem to find the button/place to which I can choose, to turn on a hot spot. I have been through every option and searched to no avail. Could it be that my iPhone 4 is not hotspot capable as I was led to believe by the apple sales associate? Is there an app I can find to make my phone a wifi hotspot? So I can get on the Internet to view the pages I want that require adobe which this piece of **** software monger won't even support?

How do I use GarageBand as a amp/speaker to listen to my Electronic Drum set? I have a MIDI-USB cord already but I can't figure out how to listen to my set through the software using my computer speakers?

How do I use GarageBand as a amp/speaker to listen to my Electronic Drum set? I have a MIDI-USB cord already but I can't figure out how to listen to my set through the software using my computer speakers?

If you want to listen to the sounds of your drum set, you should use an audio cable and connect it to the computer's line-in, then create a real instrument track.
If you use a Midi/USB interface, you'll have to create a software instrument track and select one of GB's drumsets as the instrument. Hopefully your drumset's midi notes are mapped to the right sounds in GB.
