Completed Project

Question

I completed my project last night. I ended up abandoning
DataShell because I couldn't get it to work right. I ended up using
tabs.
This page is the beginning of our shopping cart. Spry is
critical to making the user experience more intuitive and allowing
us to customize the shopping experience based on the customers
needs for individual or group apparel.
One trick I used was using ASP/HTML fragments to do
calculations. The basic concept is similar to loading data from SQL
using a fragment to generate the XML. I modified the code to
process query string data and return a calculated value. This
allows me to keep my formulas locked down. I recalculate data in
ASP using form data to figure out what was chosen. This provides a
layer of safety.
http://www.txshirts.com/product_zoom.asp?productnumber=G-5000
<- for multiple data sets and a shopping cart.
http://www.shopforletters.com/letters.asp
<- dynamic pricing / shopping cart / multiple data sets.
If you need help understanding this lemme know. My goal in
sharing this is to provide some real world examples of integrating
SPRY with ASP and e-commerce.

Hmm, are you doing something like this to load the file?
        timingProps = new Properties();
        InputStream pis = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/timing.properties");
        if (pis != null) {
            try {
                timingProps.load(pis);
            catch (IOException x) {
                CCLogger.getLogger().log(Level.SEVERE, "Unable to load the timing.properties configuration file! " + x.getMessage());
            finally {
                try {
                    pis.close();
                catch (IOException x) {/* do nothing */}
            CCLogger.getLogger().log(Level.INFO, "Timing properties have been loaded.");
        } else {
            CCLogger.getLogger().log(Level.SEVERE, "Unable to load the timing.properties configuration file!");
        }I think you are right that you shouldn't have to sign the applet if the file is coming from the same web server the applet is deployed on.
