Managing Open Source Web Projects...

I have checked out
http://www.rollerweblogger.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=RollerSourceCodeAccess
the Roller 1.2 branch, using Subclipse.
Then I have chosen "Manage as Web Application" in the menu.
And I get an error message...
"Unable to find a valid WEB-INF folder in the select project."
Yes, there is a /web/WEB-INF/ folder. But there is no web.xml in that folder. What does "valid WEB-INF" mean?
Now who is "wrong" here? The target in open source development must be "Check out, Code, Test, Check in". Is it
- Eclipse that is not flexible enough?
- NitroX that is not flexible enough?
- The roller project that does not confirm with Specification? (which Specification?)
- How can this be improved?
Best regards,
Marky

Yes, thanks for this advice.
So what I finally had to do was:
ant built.xml -all
Then I have chosen "Manage as Web Application" in the menu.
Then I have chosen "Rebuild NitroX Database"
But then it did not regognize the "Struts Configuration" automatically.
So I closed the project.
And then open the project.
And then I was at the point, where it looked ok! I now even see the Struts Configuration.
Unfortunately all this still breaks with the rule:
"Check out, Code, Test, Check in"
since there were more steps and knowledge involved.
So who can improve here?
- Eclipse that is not flexible enough?: well, it seems like Eclipse can handle this.
- NitroX that is not flexible enough?: well, it seems like Eclipse can handle this.
- The roller project that does not confirm with Specification? (which Specification?). Yes, maybe the open source projects need to adapt to enable "Check out, Code, Test, Check in", is that right?

[ANN] XINS 2.1 open source Web Services framework release

XINS 2.1 Web Services Framework has been released.
XINS is an open source Web Services Framework based on simple specifications of the Web Service in XML and
generation of code and documentation from the specification.
The generation includes Client JAR with its Javadoc, Server side template with its Javadoc, documentation in OpenDocument Format,
documentation in HTML including the test forms, WSDL file, unit tests (JUnit) and stubs.
The Web Services accept several protocols including REST, SOAP, XML-RPC, XML, JSON Yahoo! and JSON-RPC.
What's new:
* Start the API with java -jar <api name>.war
* Improved generated specification in OpenDocument Format
* Include/exclude calling convention with ACLs
* New calling convention that maps SOAP request and response as the wsdl2api command mapping.
* Smaller generated build.xml
* Added possibility to include other runtime properties files
* The runtime property location can be a URL
* Swing Graphical User Interface
* New tools: emma, glean, webstart
* New target: javadoc-test-<api name>, javadoc-apis
* Bug fixes and small RFEs

I recommend you implement your web service with JAX-WS 2.0
Axis (both version) are good but why do you want to use something that is not included in JEE API, when Java provide same thing with better performance.
personally try to prevent non standard technologies despite they can be better than core java implementation sometimes.
I don't know Xfire.
the good:
-JAX-WS performance is better than axis,
- you can create your web service simply with annotation.(this means write class and then make it as a service easily)
- support every kind of service invocation(callback,Asynchronous,...)
- architecture is nice (you can operate on SOAP level)
the Bad:
- It is JEE 5 or JSE 6 dependent.
- there is seriously lack of documentation and examples for it, on java web sites and internet.

Open source web chat

Hello
I want to integrate open source web chat with cisco contact center !
Please let me know the procedure

For SME escalation or customer-facing chat queueing? Assuming the later you need CCX 9.0 Premium with SocialMiner to serve as the DMZ-based web frontend and XMPP proxy. Be aware that chat is a 1.0 technology for CCX in this release; very basic.
Web Chat:Cisco Unified CCX Premium provides the facility for end users to initiate a chat session with the agent, from a website, typically the public website of the organization using the Unified CCX. Unified CCX provides separate agent and supervisor web application, real-time, and historical reports for Chat. The chat functionality requires Cisco SocialMiner to be deployed, and SocialMiner to act as the endpoint that hosts the widgets that end users and agents use during the chat session. SocialMiner accepts the chat request, communicates with Unified CCX to allocate an agent for the chat and then establishes the chat session between agent and end user. The Unified CCX queues the chat requests from SocialMiner, allocates agents, and monitors the chat session. Additionally, it facilitates agent state changes and provides the real-time and historical reports for the Chat.
The procedure is not well documented publically. If you're a partner you could look at these TOIs:
https://communities.cisco.com/docs/DOC-30185
https://communities.cisco.com/docs/DOC-30186
Customers are limited to the product docs:

Open Source this Project!

That is a sweet application. It's got a ton of really cool
features that I know I'd love to use. Open Source it, or at least
make the code available so we can take a look at how you did some
of those things.
Or at least publish some of the things you guys have done
with it.

great job by the way, but i support open sourcing this
project. i am sure many many people will apreciate this. +6

Business One and Open Source Web Front-Ends, PHP etc.

Hi there,
I am a complete newbie to all things SAP, so please excuse my ignorance.
I am trying to implement a solution for SAP Business One, including a web front-end for queries and information. The SAP backend is running on a SQL Server, Windows 2000.
The catch is, I won't be running the web front-end off a Windows server. I need to find a solution for an Apache server, running (probably) PHP but could be JSP or any other scripting language to access SAP - but it will be running on a separate server, non-windows.
I have been given examples of people getting access to the DI Server using PHP, but it all involves a call to a COM() function that won't run from anything except a Windows server.
How can I acheive the same result running a PHP page from an OpenBSD or Linux / Apache server? Is the DI Server the right thing to be looking at, or am I going in completely the wrong direction?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick.

post your question in SAP Business One SDK for better response.

Noob JSP + Servlet + EJB information for building J2EE simple web project.

I am new to Java. Covered basics and now jumping into making a simple web project. Project with functionality as below
1- CSS and Javascript use.
2- Managing user information (Add, Update, Delete, List)
3- Login form (Pass username, password and authenticate to create cookie)
4- Success/failure page.
That's what I want to make. I have lots of ASP.NET experience so its better to learn from making a project.
I need help like
1- Anyone know any open source web project from which I can learn to complete above tasks.
2- Any good latest J2EE 6 books to cover JSP, Servlts and EJB to make website.
3- Any video tutorials.
I am also looking around for the above information.
Thanks

Is it better approach to keep business logic in Beans instead of Servlet/JSP. Looked more robust and clean?Usually you should keep the business logic (i.e. code) away from JSPs. That's how things were done 10 years ago, now we know better. Servlets and JSP can be used together so that a servlet has the business logic and JSPs are just "dumb views".
EJBs will/can help you when you need to worry about transaction isolation.
Then there's the dozens of other Java frameworks used for web design (and other purposes).
And the learning curve is high because it's a huge chunk of different technologies. It'll take you months to get proficient, years to become good.
But if you just want to whip up some web pages quickly, look at JSP/JSTL and Servlets. That'll give you a clean, but basic approach.

Web Dynpro for Open Source

Dear Web Dynpro community,
please have a look to Benny´s blog under http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs;jsessionid=(J2EE3417200ID0731044050DB00226095944409325288End?blog=/pub/wlg/16004 raising the question whether Web Dynpro Java should become Open Source.
It would be very interesting for me to here your opinion about this. What are the benefits in doing this? What are the risks? Would YOU like to actively contribute?
Thanks in advance
Jochen (Product Owner Web Dynpro Java)

Hi all,

let me add some comments on some parts of the answers (also in the two blogs around this topic ..).
In general it is really interesting to see that there seems to be a real interest for an "open sources" Web Dynpro for Java. This is motivating to go into this direction and to further discuss this here within SAP.

Some technical comments: I agree that an open-source WDJ (in the ideal world) would include also the WDJ tools parts and most probably also UR ( = Unified rendering) as the underlying (HTML) rendering technology. Also NWDI is somehow part of this game. BUT: I do not think that such a big step is realistic and feasible. Instead of this the first natural step for me would be to open-source the WDJ runtime part. This WDJ runtime contains all important parts needed to run WDJ applications (including the control libraries, the different CMI model implementations, the different clients and last but not least the server-abstraction layer).

This server abstraction layer (SAL) is most probably not know by the WDJ community as this was never rolled out in the past. As the name shows this layer encapsulates the server environment "hosting" the WDJ runtime. This allows us even today to run WDJ applications besides the SAP JEE also in top of a simple TomCat installation. This version is used for a long time for control development but was never rolled out.

In the labs we have WDJ application running on Amazon Cloud, on Google App Engine, on Bea and also on top of Geronimo.
Not all of these server abstraction implementations are fully working for the moment and not all features are available for all implementations - but it would be really straightforward to provide all these implementations - in the ideal case of course via a active open source community ,-)

Besides the platform implementations I see some other areas how an open sourced version of WDJ could be extended:

The combination of WDJ projects with Maven. This is also on our internal development list but due to prios this was never started.
New controls. Also without open-sourcing the UR layer I see a lot of potential to extend existing controls or to build completly new controls.
"Generation-free WDJ" - the idea would be to provide a WDJ version which is not depending on a complex generation framework. This would be of course one option but a "generation-free" WDJ would allow you to code your WDJ apps / components completly without any generation.
Extending the usage scenarios for "system components" - this kind of WD components is used to extend WDJ runtime capabilities. Currently this is only used for the "Technical Info" and the UI of the implicit personalization but there is a lot of potential to extend this.

This is only a very short list of things I have currently in mind - for sure you will find more.

Have fun at TechEd Phoenix
Best regards
Jochen

I haven't tried ICEFaces or JBoss seam or Apache MyFaces, so I can't really compare them.
ICEFaces appears to be a nice framework/tool from looking at their site, even though it's open source I think one has to pay for support, you might want to take that into consideration while making your decision.
Apache MyFaces, is fully community driven - so you get free support from the community.
I don't know about JBoss seam.

How Open source Flex looks to a mid level developer

Here is my response to a post Matt made on a blog:
THe whole post:
http://blog.simb.net/2009/01/19/take-flex-back-for-the-community/
@Matt
1st off thanks, now my input:
The crux of your criticism seems to be that the process that we use for decision-making is closed its certainly not how we feel
Unfortuntly, this seems like a case of bad commuication by Adobe and the Flex team. If notable community experts get the impression of closed doors, then *certainly* the rest of us get this impression as well.
but there has been very little participation from the community so far
Im a solid dev, and not an expert but I can contribute in things such as testing and low level optimization; But, the Adobe open source site is a galactic disaster and discourages me from getting invloved. It has so many webpages that just go around in circles - filled with text that is verbose, this frustrates me to a great deal. As opposed to somehting straight foreward like:
http://framework.zend.com/download/latest
or
http://code.google.com/p/papervision3d/
Everything is here and easily notable. I avoid the seamingly endless pages and confusion. If I want to get to the Flex dev mailing list I have to register, then choose the lists, add the lists to my account. go though my account prefs read some directions.. then set up some other preferences..jeeeezzzz. If I want to submit a feature request I am directed to create another login for some Bug and Issue management? HUH? I thought I was submitting a featue request.
Right on papervisions google HOME page I see Getting started > Papervision3D Mailing List.
Next when I finially do get to Flex SVN, this trunk. is nothing like I have seen.what IS all this stuff and where do I go to learn about it? There are countless subfolders filled with things I vaguely understand and if I want to learn what it is. where do I go? Is there even a src folder?
Here is a classic example.
Flex trunk Read Me:
http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/flex/sdk/trunk/README.txt
vs.
Zend Trunk Read me:
http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/standard/trunk/README.txt
*What* is the Flex team thinking with this?
I just spent 5 minutes or so twirling through all these SVN directories and Adobes website and I am clueless. I feel like the project is unessarily complex and disorganized - even if it isnt. This just convinced me to delete my Flex sdk bookmark on my SVN client.
Adobe just lost one potential contributor to Flex SDK.
We have another idea that were bouncing around that I hope to share in a week or two but wont get into now.
Saying stuff like this is what gives people the impression of closed. Why not post these ideas the Flex team has? Even if it is stupid or incomplete
Thats the whole point.

Wow, thanks for your response. This is great. I now understand that I had a combination of prejudice and ignorance when regarding Adobe Open Source. Perhaps my ignorance on these particulars is something that other devs encounter ( that whole perception thing ). I have chatted with people who consider the Flex SDK and Flex Builder... not the same... but fused together so much that it'd be just crazy to try and use one with out the other When I mention using Flex without Flex Builder.... people get that glazed over look in their eyes....( FYI I'm a FDT man, but am keeping a close eye on the new Flex Builder ) I'll use Zend as an example ( it's the best that I can come up with ) but I feel like there is a difference between the open source framework and Zend Studio ( commercial software ). Anyway, I'm really excited about how you've responded to all this. I have more ideas, but Ill sit on them and think it through and get ready for next weeks meeting.

Apple Open Source Repository Cloning URL?

What is the URL for contributing to the Apple Open Source web site's repository? Please answer this question either here, here at Stack Overflow, or at both places.

Sorry, I don't have those answers. Just what are you looking for anyway? Apple's open source repository, such as it is, is pretty much ignored by everyone. Apparently nobody even bothered to look for things like the old "goto fail" bug that sat there in the open for years and essentially disabled all certificate checking on Macs and iOS. I have seen a few people who actually tried to compile something from it. They usually get frustrated pretty quickly. Many of those projects have dependencies on code that isn't public. In theory, that is what you would want to do if you actually wanted to modify some open source product included in OS X so you could get the exact same build settings. In practice, that is virtually impossible. If you want real open source, you aren't going to find it at Apple. And why do you care about Objective-C anyway? Apple just killed it with Swift. It is a dead-end language.
I'm interested in the Objective-C source code because I was wondering if there might be a way to make something better than today's Objective-C++ with today's C++ (C++11/14/1z, etc., …) in order to fix today's Objective-C++. I was thinking of calling the project 'Objective-C++ Re:coded' or something like that. Besides, I'm curious about how Objective-C works and wanted to save it from the dustbin. If this pans out, somebody might be able to create a version of Swift written in its results!

�Is Sun System Instant Messaging a Multiplatform Open Source Application?

This Because I am searching a highly Compatible Open Source WEB Enable Client/Server Application or a robust Multiplaform Instant Messaging System for Academic Purposes.
I searching to obtain a WEB Enable Instant Messaging Application Open Source in Java like MSN Messenger Client/Server for Academic Purposes?
I find Jabber as an alternative Instant Messaging solution but the clients and servers Applications there aren't highly compatibles.
I thank in advance for their valuable time. And for the attention and the collaboration lent me.

I believe there are currently two open source J2EE 1.3 compliant appservers:
JOnAs http://jonas.objectweb.org/
JBoss http://www.jboss.org/
Both have beta versions of their J2EE 1.4 offers. If what you are looking for is not actually open source but simply free as in beer, then Sun's appserver is a rather attractive option. It's already J2EE 1.4 certified because it is the J2EE 1.4 reference implementation. You can download it as part of the J2EE SDK from here http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/download-sdk.html
