Developing a web system from scratch - What to use?

Hi
I am considering developing a web system in Java from scratch. I am a very experienced PHP programmer and have been a part of a development team that has a lot of systems such as CRM, CMS and so forth. Right now we need to develop a central management console in another, more powerful language. Java is the preferred choice but i would like to know what the best way to go about it is?
In PHP for example, we used Creole for the database abstraction, Smarty for the template engine and Apache for the web server. In Java i am looking for a solution that:
1 - Is database independent, or at least supports the main databases without needing to change any code
2 - Is relatively quick to develop in/learn
3 - If a framework, then maybe has a MVC paradigm
4 - Preferably uses XSLT for the display, but does not have to
5 - Is among the top 2 or 3 ways that people would normally do this
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Thank you for your replies. The article link was really informative. I have narrowed it down to Flex or Spring and will play around with them to see the best one.

Web pages from scratch

Is there a way to build web pages from scratch and upload them via LOADPSP.EXE, similarly to the way you can do it witht the web toolkit?
For example:
<html>
<body>
<% some plsql code here %>
show output here: <%=variable%>
</body>
</html>
Thanks,
Christoph

Thanks for the reply.
I found a little workaround that gives me what i need:
1. I create the psp page in Dreamweaver
2. Load it in to my test database with loadpsp.
3. Copy the procedure body from the test database into a PL/SQL Dynamic Content region.
The only changes i have to make are changing the procedure parameters to use htmldb bind variables.

My daughter is locked out of her ipad...has been for months. we want to start using it now and are trying to disable it and start all over from scratch. what should we do?

my daughter is locked out of her ipad. has been for months. we want to disable it and start all over from scratch.what do we do?

Will the iPad power up by holding down on the power button until the Apple logo appears on the screen? If it does, try restoring using recovery mode.

Generating Web Service from PL/SLQL procedures using ODSI

1) Is there a way for us to generate REST based web services from PL/SQL procedures using Oracle data services Integrator? If Yes, Can you please point me to any available documentation
2) I am trying to create a phyiscal data source based on PL/SQL procedures in the hope of turning these data sources into web services. I created a JDBC connection in web logic server console and am trying to view the packages under APPS but ODSI always crashes after selecting APPS. Is there a way to resolve this?
Thanks

Hi..
We came accross this problem a while back (I think it was us that the patch was created for). The patch was released under CR369707.
Additionally it took us a while to figure out how to use it correctly.. Here's the info for it from a mail i receievd from our support contact..
Here is more information from engineering on the patch:
This is patch for filtering Stored Procedures in the New Physical Data Service Wizard. It is a partial fix to the problem. It just does filtering - it still retrieves all the jdbc metadata for everything that matches the filter. Ideally, the wizard would let you explore the stored procedures - retrieving the name only - and once you selected a stored procedure, it would retrieve the argument types (which is the expensive part).
Copy these two files to a safe place
<bea_home>\<aldsp_home>\eclipse-plugins\dsp\eclipse\plugins\com.bea.dsp.ide.external_10.3.0\dsp-ide-ldshredder.jar
<bea_home>\<aldsp_home>\eclipse-plugins\dsp\eclipse\plugins\com.bea.dsp.ide.import_metadata_10.3.0.jar
Replace the files with the ones provided in the patch (which I sent you be eMail recently).
Creating Relational Database Physical Data Services -> Stored Procedures will be affected as follows :
The Search field used to represent a pattern for the stored procedures only, and this patterns were applied against every schema visible to ALDSP. The patch allows you to also specify a list of catalogue patterns (useful only when applicable), a list of schema patterns and a list of procedure name patterns. These lists are separated by the pipe symbol, and the lists themselves are command-separated. The catalogue and schema patterns are regular expressions, the procedure pattern is for a database 'like' clause. For, Oracle, the catalogue patterns are not applicable.
Example:
|ODM1,ODM2|B% // look in schemas containing the strings ODM1 or ODM2 for procedures that start with B
// possible results would be MY_ODM1.BUILDER, ODM2.BOTTOM
|^ODM$|B%D // look in the ODM schema for procedures that start with B and end with D.
Also - if there is a search string in the Search box, that search string will be applied to the schema when you click on the + to expand it in the Tree.
Note that once a schema has been 'explored' - either by a search, or by expanding it in the tree, further searches will not update it's children. You would need to quit the wizard and restart.
Once you get the patch if you have issues let me know..

Advice needed on building first system from scratch...

Ok, here goes, I am so excited, like a kid on Xmas...My goodies from Newegg will be here later today or tomorrow....I recently purchased: A new tower, Antec PSU, 2x512 Corsair pc3200, MSI K7N2 Delta - ILSR and some other assorted crap....
Anyway, I have never built a system from the ground up before...I am looking forward to the challenge....But before I begin I was wondering if I could get some tips?
I already backed up all the files(photos, demos, benchmarks etc...)that I'll be saving...I also made copies of all the drivers I need to set it up when it's done(Nvidia graphics drivers, DX9.0b), I assume the mobo drivers will come with the mobo....I also want to do a fresh install of Windows as well.....Now my main concern is in regards to the order in which everything is done....I have replaced a motherboard before so I have a little knowledge of the inner workings....But never having built one from scratch, I'm a little leary as to the order and how everything should be installed....
I will also be adding my current Vid. card, sound card?(I'm pretty sure the onboard is better?) and HDD.....Windows came installed on my machine when I purchased it so I don't have the Windows CD, but I have made the set of recovery discs that is needed to set it back to factory specs and settings...Have I forgotten anything?...Any help would be greatly appreciated...Thanks!

Glenn, I don't have an XP CD...The OS came installed on the computer when I purchased it.....I only have the 6 recovery CD's that I made under "PC RECOVERY TOOLS"...It's an older Compaq...Oh, and it's an AMD xp2400(can be unlocked using the Speed-Strip, currently it's locked because my mobo doesn't support the OC features I so desperately want to play with..Muhahaha ).....Also, I am currently downloading the Nvidia "Unified" driver and SP1....All of a sudden, something I was looking forward to seems like the scariest thing in the world....Will this thing even boot when I get it plugged in? How am I going to install all this crap? Geez, I'm worried now...
Bogs, I will try both on-board and SB Live 5.1....I play a lot of BFV and 1942, I'll see if I can tell if there is a performance and/or increase in sound quality....What tag do you play under? See you on the battlefield!!!
Thanks again for all the replies, Silly
Well first things first, follow my suggestions on the FSB settings until you are sure it's stable and the OS has been loaded and is stable as well before you introduce overclocking to the mix...
I am a bit concerned about your Recovery CD, Most likely it'll puke on you since the motherboard and EVERYTHING except the CPU has changed? Most likely it will halt and tell you it's not a (enter name) PC and cannot continue. Try it and see.
Maybe someone has a way around it and you can discuss that in either Private Messaging or via E-mail. Please keep that little tidbit out of the forums.
bogs dollocks,
Ahhh... think you're right there, however it could have been something completely different...but that's another topic entirely...
It will cause moe headaches than it's worth. Get an OEM copy of Windows. Better yet, borrow someone else's and use your key.

Web Services from Scratch

I have worked on web services as beginner using NetBeans. It makes everything so simple that we dont gain any knowledge. Can explain me or show any link on how to create a Hello World Web Service using command line.
Thanks a lott in advance.

Hello,
As Don said, a home page for your webservice is generated automatically
for you.
For example, visit: http://webservice.bea.com:7001/index.html and click
the first entry "WeblogicEchoService" you will see a page that was
generated by WLS providing a test link for each method. You can then
invoke the service and see the generated results.
Hope this helps,
Bruce

Creating a JSF Web application from scratch.

hi,
i have created a JSF web application, but not from scratch i had to use a jsf example included in the final specification of the JSF download, as a template to create my own application, by deleting and editing the example files with my own.
i tried to do it from scratch including all the settings, parameters and files that should be in place, but i sill get an error when starting the app in tomcat.
Unfortunately i dont have the error listing anymore since i have got around the problem through alternate path. however i do remember that it came with cannot find FacesServlet, or something to do with the FacesServlet.
if anyone could shed some light on this it would be really great because it so frustrating.
many thanks.
dharam

cannot find FacesServlet, or something to do with the FacesServlet.It might appear not because you have a wrong project structure, but because you point to the entry jsp file directly without using the servlet mapping in your URL. Check this first.

Migration Assistant vs. starting from scratch -- what's better

My new MacBook is arriving today? Should I use Migration Assistant or start from scratch and install the applications and set all the preferences myself.
I have used Migration Assistant to copy everything from an iBook to my current MacBook. If I use it one more time, won't I have a lot of extraneous system files and additional garbage that I'm copying over from two computers ago? Isn't it better to install Office from scratch?
But if I don't use Migration Assistant, how do I install my iTunes and iPhoto libraries and keep playlists and settings intact?
Please advise! I'm sure the Migration Assistant is the easier route, but I'm just worried about who-knows-how-many hidden system files are being copied over from my original iBook!

migration assistant is the easiest as you say. you can choose to migrate user data only in which case it will only migrate your home directory (this will take care of all your itunes and iphoto libraries) and you'd have to reinstall the applications from scratch. this is a bit of a pain if you have many applications. if your computer is working ok I'd probably stick with Migration Assistant.

Has ANYONE created a web site from scratch with iweb 08 that is stable?

I have tried all the tricks i have been able to find to convert my old iweb 1.2 site to the new iweb08 software. I have tried deleting plist files, and changing the themes and re-saving. I am about to give up, and have two options
1. recreate the ENTIRE site from scratch. I am happy to do this, so long as there are people who have done it and their site domain files remain stable.
or
2. Go back to iweb 1.2 and save myself hassle.
Can anyone advise on this?
To apple : You have treated me like a sucker customer. I love you, but you have spat in my face with this terrible software. it destroys everything it touches. Shame on you for treating us all with disdain.

Hi damoyoungsf,
I have managed to recreate my website (www.vnlc.org is the domain name, www.studentgroups.ucla.edu/vnlc is the real address) and fixed the bugs as of yesterday, it took around 6 hours of fiddling but worth it for the new features. I used the watercolor theme, and you can visit the webpage to test its stability. The problems I encountered were:
1. Blog/Podcast pages didn't convert correctly, the yellow/blue band is missing and the picture frames were missing also, also some of the events had incorrect formatting.
a. Fix: You're going to have to recreate these pages, when a page has errors after a program update like this, its better to recreate the page again rather than keep stumbling with further little bugs that might pop up in the future.
2. Links to pages with titles that include the symbols : and - and foreign characters do not work.
a. I think this is a major area in which iweb08 digressed because I used to be able to use foreign and special characters in my links, but now I can't because it would not link appropriately.
Every other page seemed to work well, or had minor problem like incorrect font colors which can be remedied without recreating the whole page. I did not have the photo page problems that some other people had, my photo pages rendered perfectly and now has nice new features.
As a final word, iWeb'08 or rather the whole iLife'08 suite seems to be Beta status just like when Mac OS X first came out. Apple likes throwing at us these problematic new software and wait for the bugs to crop up to fix it. After I first got iWeb'08, I knew it would have major problems but I am hoping further updates would remedy our woes.

Guys,
You are asking about an issue that was a pain in the nick for me few months ago. The problem is that you won't find mych help here as I figured out that Apex geeks here either did not do much webservices or ended up hating it as i do :) . This is an error that can be due many different reason, let me ask you this:
1- Does your the other system you are trying to call through webservices using HTTPS ?
2- If yes, did you create a valid oracle wallet for that https connection ?
3- Make sure you are using the correct URL ( am sure you do, just double check )
4- If using a proxy, then you have to define that in the web service reference creation page
provide more info and I hope I can help you with this,
Sam
Please reward good answers by marking them correct or helpful!

If you mean from the Safari menubar item "Popular"
Choose "Show All Bookmarks" from the Bookmark menu in the main menubar, or click the icon for that in Safari's menubar -
The page that opens should show a list of Bookmarks. In the Left column, click the item under Collections named Bookmarks Bar.
In the new view, locate the folder named Popular and click the reveal triagle to the left of its name - it will open and reveal all the items listed in Popular.
Find the one you want to remove, click it once to select it, then press the Delete key on the keyboard.

Web Services from Forms, what version?

Im getting rather confused on what version of J Developer we should be using to create our Web service stubs so we can consume web services in our version of Oracle Forms 10.1.2
I am currently running though the example on the Oracle How to so ill use the versions suggested there but for furure development should we be using the latest version of JDeveloper?

You can certainly use 10.1.3.x of JDev for building web services to call from forms 10.1.2. I have done this here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10gr2/howto/webservicefromforms/ws_10_1_3_from_forms.html
Generally the thing you have to watch is to ensure the JDK version for the web service proxy project is the same as Forms (1.4). You also need to be careful on the web service type from which you are creating the proxy. (Jax-rpc, jax-ws etc)
It might be worth trying (but might have a few gotchas) using 10.1.3 to generate a proxy against an 11g web service - but you need to watch what version of the web services standard you are using as there have been a number of changes in this area.
hope that helps

Scrubbing Reloading the System from Scratch

Hello, I am dealing with an HP laptop, model # dm4-3055dx, running Windows 7. The system recently contracted a virus or some sort of very annoying malware referred to as Qone8. I have tried numerous suggested solutions and several antivirus programs but I have not been able to get rid of it. I am now at the point of having no other choice but to scrub the system (reformat the hard drive) and reloading every thing from source disks. What I would like to know is will the recovery disks that I can get from HP (I unfortunately did not make these recovery disks myself when the system was new) be all that I need to accomplish this task? Do the disks contain the original OS software and all the drivers, etc. that will get my system back to it's out of the box operationg condition? If this is so, I assume that I will then have to download system updates from Microsoft and/or HP to get up to date. I plan on ordering the recovery disks for my system I just want to make sure there is nothing else I will need. Also, I would appreciate a reference to the written procedure for carrying out the scrub and reload process if anyone knows. Thanks much, Al

Thanks much for your response Mista B. Actually I was unaware that there was a built-in recovery process available. I may try that. When I read the referenced procedure it said that if this procedure didn't work for some reason that I would have to use the recovery disks so I should probably have these on hand just in case. The thing that I am afraid of is that if I don't do a complete erasure of the hard drive that the virus might not be eradicated completely and it will show up again on my bootup re-loaded system. Do you think that the internal recovery procedure will successfully wipe out the infection? Not to belabor the issue but you did not actually answer my question directly. What I wanted to know is if the HP recovery disks will be all that I need to reload a completely wiped computer system. Pehaps you implied that by suggesting the recovery from boot up but that is still not completely clear to me. I do appreciate you help. Thanks again, Al
