Manage content of web-app

Hi All,
I am developing a web application using Spring/Hibernate frameworks. My application is going to be a public facing application. The pages on this application can be divided into categories. Pre-login & Post login.
Pre-Login pages: These are mainly going to be marketing/user education pages. These are HTMLs/Jsps with el tags.
Post-Login pages: These are main application pages which are pure JSPs with EL tags.
Since app has been launched, marketing team puts pressure on us to change the content on the pre-login pages on almost daily basis. Currently, we are handling this by sending the static files to the remote static server.
I want to streamline this process. The above one is tedious for changing the content as presentation is mixed with content. Often this results in errors & reworks.
Can I make use of Foresst/Cocoon or some other XML based approach to address this issue? I want, at least for static pages, to keep the presentation code on static pages separate from content. This can enable the marketing team to write content in simple text files, which eventually can be uploaded to the server.
Please suggest what I can do here. I wish for following: A simple text file upload and then on the basis of EL tags on the JSPs, content gets reflected on the pages of the running application.

Few standard options:
1) File system based content as you are planning
2) Database driven content
3) CMS product
All these options should be used with care since it may slowdown the application performance. As in your case, marketing team is requesting change once a day; you can setup a cache (Any open source cache product) to improve the performance.
Option 2& 3 are preferred approach for dynamic content because of ease of use from marketing guy perspective. Marketing team does not need to contact to deployment administrator for each change. They can simply change the content their own.

Invalid element 'welcome-file-list' in content of 'web-app',

HI, folks.
I recently used struts to develop a simple web applicaiton, and whenever I tried to use tag libs
such as /WEB-INF/struts-html.tld
/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld and
tried to compile it, it gives out compile error such as:
Error(52,21): Invalid element 'welcome-file-list' in content of 'web-app', expected elements '[taglib, resource-env-ref, resource-ref, security-constraint, login-config, security-role, env-entry, ejb-ref, ejb-local-ref]'.
if I remove the above tag libs, the jsp file compiles
without any problem.
Are you guys familiar with these problems?
please let me know if I'm doing anything foolish.
Thanks!

Unless some other elements tag are not close correctly this error does not make sense. Can you cut and paste your web.xml?
It should look something like:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1252'?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">

I don't think you are allowed to mix the servlet mapping entries in among the servlet entries. You should do all the servlet entries and then all the servlet mapping entries.

How to achieve BC4J stateful management in a web app?

I have a web application developed with JSP, Struts as the view / controller layer and BC4J as the model layer.
I am not using the complete ADF framework. Just plain struts, JSP and BC4J.
What I want to do is to have one struts action to set a
query condition on a view object and execute the query.
Then i release the application module. In another struts action I want to get the same application module with the
viewobject query set.
Pseudo for Action 1:
try{
Configuration.createRootApplicationModule("test.bc.AppModule", "AppModuleLocal");
.. get view object
.. build and perform the query on the view object.
finally
Configuration.releaseRootApplicationModule(am, true);
pseudo for action2:
try{
Configuration.createRootApplicationModule("test.bc.AppModule", "AppModuleLocal");
.. get view object with the query stored
.. use the results.
finally
Configuration.releaseRootApplicationModule(am, true);
I cannot make this work. If I put the am from action1 in the session object and retrieves it from the session in action2 it works. But I need to release the appmodule in action 1 since I have no guarantees that the user will run action2..
I have read the paper of Steve Muench "Understanding Application Module Pooling Concepts and: Configuration Parameters"
This document says:
"ADF application modules provides the ability to snapshot and reactivate their pending state to XML (stored on the file system or in the database), and the ADF application module pooling mechanism leverages this capability to deliver a "managed state" option to web application developers that simplifies building applications like the example just given.
As a performance optimization, when an instance of an AM is returned to the pool in "managed state" mode, the pool keeps track that the AM is referenced by that particular session. The AM instance is still in the pool and available for use, but it would prefer to be used by the same session that was using it last time because maintaining this so-called "session affinity" improves performance.
I have set my bc4j configurations to
releasmode = STATEFUL
jbo.passivationstore = databse
jbo.server.internal_connection= my jdbc connection
But the appmodule returned in action2 is not the same as the one returned in action1.
I am using jdev 9052 and deploying to oc4j 904 standalone.
I guess I have to use som other commands for retrieving/ releasing the AM or set some properties on it, but I have not found any documentation for this.
Any tips on how to achieve this bc4j session state to work in a plain struts , bc4j environment is appreciated.

The Configuration.createRootApplicationModule() and companion releaseRootApplicationModule() API's are not for use in web applications. They are designed for use by simple command-line console programs.
Using the BC4J application module pool programmatically in a web environment should be done like the JDeveloper 9.0.3/9.0.4 "Pooling" sample illustrates.
In the JDev 9.0.3 or 9.0.4 version, see the sample project under ./BC4J/samples/Pooling
Hope this helps.

Office Web Apps Server 2013 / Real-Time co-authoring

Hello,
In general, I would like
to ask the development team or product
manager SharePoint /Office web Apps.
As you already know in the cloud
product version introduces new features. Such as
authoring and other unlike on-premises version . This link demonstrate it.
http://blogs.office.com/2013/11/06/collaboration-just-got-easier-real-time-co-authoring-now-available-in-office-web-apps/ .
Please tell me the plans or roadmaps for the implementation
of these functions in the server version. Or Microsoft
has no plans to develop this area?

great, and as i said, we are working to keep parity, but there are still many features which are technically considered in preview in the O365 environment. after several months, depending on stability, feedback, and whether the feature fits well with
the product, it may either be tested to go into on-prem farms and come out of preview or be dropped altogether (auto-hosted apps).
This feature is definitely one that is key to the future of the product, but there isn't a timeline on when it will come to onprem. there ia a lot of additional testing before anything can be integrated to on-prem as the environments have many
more variables than the rather rigid architecture at O365, as well as the fact that the o365 farms have many of the preview features and so then anything to go into a feature for on-prem needs to be re-vetted in farms without those extras and checked for dependencies
(not normally an issue, but still part of the process).

Web apps and content holders after upload

I purchased the uguru photography template from business catalyst into which I have inserted my own content worked on in dreamweaver and tested on my trail site. I transfered the whole of the new version successfully to my live site at http://www.misskikisalon.co.uk/. Have checked all files and everything is successfully there. The problem is that none of the web apps and content holders are now working and the interface tells me there are no web apps on the site although all the files have uploaded. The html pages say 'No Items Found' where the web apps should be working and the content holders should be - on product pages it says no product found or item out of stock. Please can you help?
Also on the trial site interface under site manager there are 12 items and under web apps all the associated web apps for the template whereas in my live site in site manager there are 2 items listed under site manager - web forms and system emails and no apps - why the difference?

I purchased the template which places it in the trial site worked on it locally using dreamweaver and then sftp site from dreamweaver to live site.
How can I then use the template from the trial site and the version I have developed in dreamweaver and make this live on my live site. I want my currently live site to use this template and all the development I work since purchasing the template.

Content Search Web Part and Managed Property

Do I have to have cross-site collection publishing feature turned on for the Content Search Web Part to show a managed property?
I have a list and a column in that list called Colors. I created a managed property out of the crawled property for Colors column. On a page within the same site-collection, I added a content search web part (displays items from the earlier list) and
trying to display the managed property for Colors to show up for each of the items. For some reason, Colors value is not being displayed for the items.
Any ideas?

Thanks, Peter, appreciated. Here is my problem:
I created a site column and added it to the list. Added an item that has a value for this site column. System automatically generated a crawled property for the site column and also a managed property. Do I still have to perform step # 5 from above?
Now when I go into the content search web part and change the query to use this managed property as a refiner, it does not work.
I will try the debugging as you suggested.
In the meanwhile, Please let me know if you know of anything wrong I am doing.
UPDATE: I debugged it using IE Dev. Toolbar and the value for that managed property is being returned as null. What could be going wrong? How can I further troubleshoot this problem?

Ssl and web app server: there's content which is not secure

Hello,
We have implemented ssl in our intranet site ( web front server, Web app server, sql server - everything ) .
Yet, In Https (and I.E) and document library , when I press the "..." , I get an warning: "only secure content is displayed" and the file preview doesn't show anything. If I select "show all content", the file preview shows
the file.
If I press "View in browser", I get the same message. If I press "show all content" I see the file, otherwise the file doesn't show.
Looking at the fiddler, it looks like some connections with the (sharepoint) application server aren't secured.
Sample unsecured http gets are:
http://ApplicationServer.mysite.gr/wv/ResReader.ashx?n=p1.img&WOPIsrc=http%3A%2F%Intranet%2Fsites%2FDNY%2F_vti_bin%2Fwopi.ashx%2Ffiles%2F42da77c08cd94b67a1c413ae39a71c58&access_token=eyJ0eBIgBigToken
http://ApplicationServer.mysite.com/wv/ResReader.ashx?n=p1.img&v=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000602&usid=5fae4f7f-d4d6-4a21-a465-2fe24ded9519&WOPIsrc=http%3A%2F%2FIntranetSite%2Fsites%2FDNY%2F_vti_bin%2Fwopi.ashx%2Ffiles%2F42da77c08cd94b67a1c413ae39a71c58&access_token=BIgBigToken
- this one is an image of the file.
Having these unsecure gets, I have problems accepting that the site is totally secured.
is the (sharepoint) application server the source of the problem?
Thank you
Christos

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to show all content after you implemented ssl in intranet site.
Please make sure you configure SSL correctly. You can refer to:
Configure SSL for SharePoint 2013
IE does provide an option which can be configured to automatically display all content, both secure and non-secure content, on web pages that come with mixed content.
You can display all mixed contents in IE to suppress and disable any warning message on secure and/or non-secure content.
More information:
How to Disable Only Secure Content is Displayed in IE (Always Show All Mixed Content)

Why can't I display content from more than one domain in my web app? Is there a workaround?

I'm trying to display 2 datasources in different views of my web app, an rss from twitter, and an rss from wordpress, but for some reason dashcode doesn't allow this. Is there code that can fix this? A source paramater change code (shown below) is provided in dashcode, but I don't know how to implement this, or if it will even solve the problem. Can anyone help?
// Retrieves data source. Sets a query parameter "category" to "Apple"
var dataSource = dashcode.getDataSource("detailRequest");
dataSource.setValueForKeyPath("Apple", "parameters.category");

If you have the Creative Cloud and the Photoshop subscriptions in the same ID, then that's the issue:
http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html
Can I buy more than one membership to an individual offering of Creative Cloud?
No, Adobe has moved to identity-based licensing with a technology that will not support multiple same-product licenses, so you can buy only one membership per Adobe ID. If you need two Creative Cloud memberships, you will need to purchase each with a unique Adobe ID. You can also purchase a Creative Cloud for teams membership, which allows you to purchase and manage multiple seats under one account.
Just talk with Adobe customer's support and they will help you sort it out.
Cheers,
