Is It legal to use Jakarta I18N Tag Library in my projects on work?

I'm a JSP pages developer on my work and Jakarta I18N Tag Library is very usefull for me.
But I'm not sure about licensing. Can I use this library in commercial projects?

I am not a lawyer, but ys, the Apache Lisence allows you to use the library for such a purpose.

Jakarta i18n Tags

I'm trying to use tag libs to i18n my jsp based site. I,m using jakarta i18n based tags. This is what I understand/done so far.
Changed the page encoding on all pages to UTF-8.
Searched through all of the pages for text/data that has to be i18n. Placed all this in a message tag. The message tag contains a key to the text/data that I have written/translated into property files.
I understand that ResourceBundles in the form of i18n:bundle tag, which are used in conjunction with the property files that I have. I just don't understand how? Or where the property files should be stored.
Also from what I've read, a locale setting is required, i18n:locale, however I don't understand how to use this tag.
Any help would be much appreciated.

You might look at an article just posted to the main page on java.sun.com.
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Intl/MultilingualJSP/
The article is titled, "Developing Multilingual Web Applications Using JavaServer Pages Technology" and does cover the use of the JSTL tags you mention.

Need to use hyperlink with tracking code in Edge project, not working

I have been using test URL's inserted on invisible "hot spot" elements in my edge animate project that have been opening fine in the browser. Now I need to update those URLs with tracking syntax, but when I change it in Edge (replace the URL in the actions panel for that element) and then run the animation in the browser, the link will not open.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

Never mind, the URL itself had quotation marks that needed to be removed; once that was done the URL's opened properly.

How to use JSP custom tag lib in PAR file?

Hi All,
I am trying to customize mastheaderpar file. For that I have downloaded relevant par file and making the changes accordingly.
As part of the changes I would require to use JSP custom tag library in my par file.
I have the TLD file and relevant classes in the jar file. I would like to know where and what kind of modifications have to be done to use the jsp custom tag library.
I tried modifying some things in portalapp.xml but was not successful.
Please help me on how to proceed with this? It would be great if you can provide the xml entry to use this tag library
Thanks
Santhosh

Hi Johny,
Thanks for the reply. Actually I am able to change colors etc. with out any problem.
My requirement is to use XMLTaglib in mastheader par file. This tag lib is from apache tomcat. I have the relevant TLD and class files. I copied TLD file into taglib dir of portal-inf and class file in src api.
And I have added the following line in portalapp.xml under component-profile section of default
<property name="tlxtag" value="/SERVICE/Newmastheader/taglib/taglibs-xtags.tld">
Is this the right way to use tag lib? Actually before adding this line I used to get the error saying "Error parsing taglib", but now the error does not occur and I am getting new error. This is an exception in one of the taglib classes.
Could any one provide me some inputs on how to check this error?
Thanks

Tag instances - same instance being used across multiple tags

Hi
          I am using BEA WebLogic Server 6.1 SP2
          Problem:
          Tag instances - same instance being used across multiple tags
          The problem is that when I use the same jsp tag several times in a page,
          The tag is being instantiated only one time, as a result the class
          attributes
          retain their values when activating the tags.
          Example:
          A code that demonstrates the problem (not sure that it is compiled)
          public FooTag extends TagSupport {
          private boolean isValid = true;
          private String name;
          public setName(String x){
          name = x;
          public int doStartTag() throws JspException
          if (name.equals("x"){
          isValid = false;
          return SKIP_BODY;
          public int doEndTag() {
          if (isValid){
          return EVAL_PAGE;
          <table>
          <tr>
          <td><mpower:FOOTAG name="x"/>
          
          A FOOTAG implmented in FooTag </td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
          <td><mpower:FOOTAG name="y"/>
          
          A FOOTAG implmented in FooTag </td>
          </tr>
          </table>
          P.S.
          I am using the same tags library with Tomcat and iPlanet Application severs,
          I did not get this problem there !!


          What should I do to reinitialize the tag? We have the same problem on custom tag.
          We have TabSet tag, which contains a set of Tab tag. In Weblogic 5.1, everything
          works ok, however when we run it in weblogic 6.1, Tab object seems like share the
          same instance, say if I have 2 Tabs in the TabSet, it ends up shows 2 same tabs with
          the apperance of the last tab added to the tabset on the web browser. We do implement
          release() method to call super.release() of TagSupport class.
          Any help is very appreciated.
          Thanks,

Pagination using pager tag library (logical groupings)

I'm currently trying to achieve pagination using the pager tag library provided by jsptags.com.
Instead of the usual breaking up the records into a fix number to be displayed per page, I need to display these records by grouping per page. E.g., my records are grouped by countries, so each group varies in size.
I would not be accessing the database directly from the JSP page, in fact, the JSP page will get a collection of the objects that I want to display per page.
Has anyone done anything like this before? Would appreciate very much if you could share with me how you implement this.
Thanks!

Hi there,
I am wondering if you found the solution for your question with paging in JSP. if so i will really appreciate if you can let me know, how you did it. I am using Pager tag lib from JSPTags as well and i used collection object to iterate through. But i have some problems. I am wondeinf if you can help me with this
Thanks

The legality of using a student version of CS6 at home (legal) and also using it at work (?)

Whilst I know it is legal to use my student bought version of CS6 for commercial work at home I don't know for sure if it is legal to also install the suite at my workplace (an architect firm).
I found two licencing answers which seem to imply that I could use the suite at home and at work (though not at the same time).
Can I use my software on two computers?
If you own, or are the primary user of, a single-user or volume license Adobe product that is installed on a computer at work, you can also install and use the software on one secondary computer of the same platform at home or on a portable computer. However, you may not run the software simultaneously on both the primary and secondary computers. No more than one user can use a single-user license Adobe product.
*Copied from: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/end-user-license-agreements-faq.html
Can I use Adobe Student and Teacher Edition software on more than one computer?
Adobe Student and Teacher Edition software may be used on two computers only. This is ensured through a product activation procedure, which is performed online.
Perhaps posting here is not a definitive way of finding out an answer to my question... if so, where else could I go?
Thanks

We have a saying here in Germany: "Wer viel fragt, geht viel irre." Meaning the more you ask, the more you get confused. The simple legal interpretation is, that what is not explicitly precluded/ exempted in any sort of contract is considered as never having been part of this contract and thus nil and void. While going on at some length about the secondary install, neither the edu FAQ nor the EULA make any mention of what your primary computer actually needs to be or where it must be located. So for all intents and purposes a computer provided by a company where you intern could be considered just that as long as the license you install on it can only be used by you, meaning no other person can use it under a differtent user account on the same machine, which is technically perfectly doable by eitehr managing the Activation/ Adobe ID yourself or using the operating system's user privileges and file permissions to prevent access to e.g. the license store folders. Beyond that, you cannot expect any 100% definite answer, only taking this to court on a case by case basis could, but I guess that's not the point in the first place. People do weird things with their licenses all the time and depending on where in the world you live or even use a program at any given time, half of that stuff may be invalid, regardless. The only personal observation I will make here: A company that is dependent on a student's own PS license is probably not a place I would consider a good place for getting my career started...

Struts tag library instead of JSTL

My developers here are not very well versed with JSTL .
Is it advisable to use the Struts tag library instead of JSTL.

For JSTL you need two jar files in your web-inf/lib directory.
standard.jar
jstl.jar
You only mentioned standard.jar - make sure the other is there as well.
There are also some libraries requried. I think they were included with JDK1.4, but am not entirely certain.
Check out the requirements on this page:
http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/standard-1.0-doc/standard-1.0/GettingStarted.html
Particularly those related to JAXP.
I am think EOFException might be a trouble with parsing the c.tld file in the standard.jar
Hope this helps,

My app can't see the tag library

Hi everybody,
I am developing an application in JSP which accesses an Oracle database and display the results to the user.
I am using the tag "exceltag.jar" taken from "http://www.servletsuite.com/servlets/exceltag.htm" to convert an html table to an excel sheet. This works fine on my computer but it fails after we installed the application to our web server, running Tomcat 4.1.12.
The "exceltag.jar" file has been placed under 'WEB-INF\lib' and the classpath has been set to point to that location. However when I attempt to convert the html table to an excel sheet by clicking a button, I get the following error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
javax/servlet/jsp/tagext/BodyTagSupport at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass0(Native Method) at
java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:509)
It seems like the application can't see the "exceltag.jar" file.
What do I need to do to overcome this problem?
Thank you very much.

The servlet.jar is in TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib. Since all the JARs in that directory are automatically added to the CLASSPATH and are visible to all applications running under Tomcat, you don't have to do anything for the class loader to find it.
Your app's WEB-INF/lib directory JARs are also automatically added to to the CLASSPATH. That's the correct place to put that exceltag.jar, by the way, not the TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib.
As a matter of fact, if you have a system CLASSPATH, be sure that Tomcat ignores it completely. You shouldn't even have one, IMO. (I don't.)
When I open up the servlet.jar in my TOMCAT_H0ME/common/lib, I can see a class named BodyTagSupport with path javax.servlet.jsp.tagext. You should, too.
In your exceltag.jar, you should find a TLD for the library. Open that with a text editor and make sure that the text under the <uri> tag matches that in your JSP. For example, I use the JSTL tag library. The c.tld has this <uri> tag:
<uri>http://java.sun.com/jstl/core</uri>My JSPs that want to use the core tag library have this near the top of the page:
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" %>Notice how the URIs match. That's what yours should do, too.
If you don't find a TLD inside the exceltag.jar, that means they didn't package it properly. - MOD

Merged projects - topic-level tag problems in sub-projects

I am working on an extensive help file in RoboHelp HTML. It
consists of a master project and 15 sub-projects. Each of the sub
projects have topic-level conditional tagging, and when each
sub-project is compiled, the topic-level tagging works and the CHM
is correct in regards to what topics are included and excluded.
However, when I compile the master project, it seems that RoboHelp
disregards ALL topic-level tagging in the sub-projects. So, the CHM
for configuration A includes all sub-project topics for
configurations A, B, C, and D. The topics are in the TOC and they
appear as search results. We are not using an index, but binary
index is checked in the project settings.
The same four configurations in the sub-projects are also in
the master project, but the conditional tag expressions aren't
word-for-word identical. Should they be?
Note that the content-level tagging within the sub-projects
DOES work when the master project is compiled. For some reason, the
problem is isolated to the topic-level tagging.

I think I'm the one causing the problem - I don't think I
read your initial post carefully enough. Sorry...
I can't figure out how this is happening. When you merge
.chms, you have already compiled the 'slave' projects. The link
from the master TOC points to a slave .chm - which you say is
working correctly when opened on its own.
Since the slaves and masters are compiled independently,
there shouldn't be any interaction between the master and slave
build expressions - and if there is one, it should be excluding
more topics, not including more topics!
The typical problems people have with merged .chms seem to be
TOC issues (does the master TOC show up, or just the slave
project's TOC?) and path issues (the master can't find the slaves).
However, I did see one or two posts on this forum where the master
was pointing to old copies of the slave .chm - could you have a
"complete" .chm lurking about?
BTW, according to RH help, binary indexes are fine in merged
HTMLhelp. Binary TOCs are not. I don't think you have this problem,
because the symptoms are different, but you could take a look - the
setting is in the HTMLHelp Generate wizard. Click the [Advanced]
button on the first wizard page and look on the TOC tab to make
sure Binary TOC is not checked.
You might also do a quick search on the General
Info/HTMLHelp/RH for HTML forums for "merged .chm" - you might
recognize a symptom in someone's post that I didn't catch.
Good luck,
