Professional opinions on web development platforms

Dear JEE developers,
I'm currently part of a research team at the Free University of Berlin, looking into the ways in which the major web development platforms differ. In addition to our work with the Plat_Forms contest, we're now looking for actual professional opinions.
If you have practical experience in the development of non-trivial web applications with two or more web development languages then we would like you to participate in a short survey. Three Java teams participated in this year's Plat_Forms contest but no one used a pure JEE approach. It would be good to have your opinions and experiences in the survey.
The questionnaire asks you about your experiences and opinions on two of the web development languages you have used, and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. To thank you for your participation, you will be able to provide an email address and we will send you our final report when we are finished compiling it.
http://www.plat-forms.org/survey/
We look forward to your answers and experiences, let me know via email if you have any questions.
Florian Thiel
Plat_Forms survey team

participate in a short survey. Three Java teams
participated in this year's Plat_Forms contest but no
one used a pure JEE approach. It would be good to
have your opinions and experiences in the survey.
First define "pure JEE approach", what exactly do you mean by that and what made you decide noone used that system?
Maybe your defintion is wrong, maybe you have tainted your decisions based on incorrect or incomplete assumptions.

  • How to setup AutoFill as a web developer for IPAD (html)

    Hey all,
    This is my 1st post on Apple's Forums. Not sure if i can get web-develment info here on Safari but gonna try.
    So I trying to get AutoFill working as a Web Developer across different browser platforms for a contact form webpage.
    We are esp interesting about mobile to make it easier to fill out hte long contact page on mobile phones which would improve our website's success.
    I got IPHONE AutoFill working on a simple HTML contact form.
    But on the same webpage form, IPAD I'm having a heck of a time trying to get the AutoFill working.
    My User Agent is:
    Mozilla/5.0 (Ipad: CPU OS 7_1_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/537.51.2 (KTHML... Like Gecko) Version/7.0 Mobile/11D201 Safari/9537.53
    Here are all the bases I cover for Safari and other browsers:
    1. Some use regex on the input name attr. so like an attribute of <input name="firstname"/> or fname,etc helps some browsers figure out the context for AutoFill.
    2. Chrome uses a nice context attribute 'autocompletetype="given-name" so dont need to depend on the browser to figure it out via Regexes. also threw on x-autocompletetype maybe if some browsers are viewing it as experimental and decide to implement it as an 'experimental' attribute. This works well for Chrome/Desktop browser.
    3. Also added Placeholder text as some places recommended it.
    4. The label's text is also named nice if some browsers do a regex on the label text to provide context <label for="firstname">First Name</label> <input id="firstname" name="firstname" /> (dont know of any specific browsers that do this... just saying, all bases are covered)
    Here is my super basic form that covers all of those:
    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/36600570/html-autofillform-test/index.html
    Yet on the IPAD, I don't see the Autofill button on the keyboard when I click on the 'First Name' input like how IPHONE has it (and yes Autofill is turned on in the Settings->Safari->Passwords&Autofill area, and right below that 'on' setting, I picked my contact to associate AutoFill in which has my name/address/phone/email info).
    Why does Ipad-Safari not AutoFill like its supposed to. Do others get that AutoFill button on their IPAD testing the website above and if so, what version are you using (can get version by going to http://www.whatsmyuseragent.com/)
    Thanks for any advice!,
    Ari

    Don't think there's an automatic way to do this, but if you tap the top right corner of your screen it should take you straight to connectivity and you can disconnect wifi there ? Also why do you want to disconnect from the web, is it to save battery or data charges ? A 'smartphone' is of little use without a data package !

  • Oracle Forms vs APEX for Web Development

    Could you please suggest me which Oracle Technology will be better suitable give flexibility for developing a web application of Information processing.
    1). Oracle Forms (Web)
    or
    2) Oracle Application express
    and also please explain the how it is good comparative other.

    I think you should also include the licensing issues in application development/deployment plans. As you might know, Forms requires iDS (for development) and iAS EE (for deployment) licenses. For JDeveloper and ADF, the development platform is free and the iAS Java version is much cheaper compared to the iAS EE license. When it comes to APEX licensing, it is free as long as the database server is properly licensed. For a small size company, APEX and the JDeveloper + ADF and iAS Java version makes perfect sense. Because Forms Services is only a part of the EE version of the iAS server, it might be an expensive option for a small scale application. On the other hand iAS EE is very capable and scaleable framework and you can deploy both J2EE, Forms, Reports, Discoverer, Portal applications from a single platform.
    Hope this proves useful.

  • Publish using iWeb 09 using any WebDAV compliant web development software

    Our School is looking at moving to the Mac Platform. We currently use Frontpage to publish our website. Our current web host says that we can use "any WebDAV compliant web development software to publish our site. Is there a way to do this using iWeb 09?

    Inigo wrote:
    ...is it simply a case of dragging a QT movie file into iWeb 09, publish it via FTP, and hey presto, people can view my films in high quality on the web? Is it really that simple or is there a catch?
    George ~ Yes, there's a catch. Your videos will become part of iWeb's Domain file which may make it slow to open in iWeb, make backups and re-publish everything (if needed). Better to upload your videos separately to your server and embed them into your iWeb site.
    iWeb '09 makes this easy if you upload your videos to YouTube: iWeb '09 has a new YouTube widget to embed your videos into your iWeb page:
    http://www.apple.com/ilife/iweb/#widgets
    ...For high definition video, YouTube was recently ranked the best of several video sites:
    Which HD video Web service is the best?
    See also this article:
    YouTube officially enables HQ in embedded videos
    Also, I may want to show some videos encoded with Flash, not QT. Is that still possible using iWeb 09?
    If you're concerned that some PC users won't have QT and won't want to install it, I think if you go the embedded YouTube route, almost all PC or Mac users will be able to view your videos — because "videos on YouTube are streamed through an Adobe Flash player."
    If you'd prefer to use Flash in iWeb, this article may help:

  • View of developers on Netweaver as a Development Platform

    Hello,
    My company is looking into using Netweaver as a development platform (customised web applications, extensions to existing SAP functionality). As a developer, I would like to hear the view of other developers on this - should I be worried? Is this a good development platform and if not, what are the major areas of concern? How does this all compare to using Java / Weblogic as an application platform? Thank you!

    Hi Neeraj,
    SAP B1 would support your requirement and is the right fit for your health care industry.
    You can check with appropriate SAP partners who have done implementation in specific industry as yours, so you could get to know from them the whole cycle of implementation(including the time and resources required ).
    For Standard implementation without any customizations it would to take 2 to 3 months.
    If there are specific needs you have which is not supported in standard SAP B1 then you would require customizations like the use of  addon to specific industry which could cost extra as well as take more time
    Hope it helps

  • Advice on using Flash in the future for Android VS. Air VS. Web Development

    First, I am not trolling and I see that other similar questions have been asked recently, though I am looking for specific info to meet the needs of our program (that is why I am posting this now).
    We've been teaching Flash at a community college for many years. After Adobe stopped development of the Flash Player for browsers, I'm left wondering what the future of Flash in the web will be? Data shows that a majority of web browsing will take place from mobile devices over the next several years, and if you are not going to be able to view Flash web content in a browser from a mobile device, I am concerned about whether it makes sense to continue teaching Flash to students for web design/development. I know Flash can also be used for developing applications, Air, etc., and we do some of that currently, I'm just wondering how Adobe can expect developers to commit to the platform for web development without supporting mobile web browsers. Am I missing something? Do developers see this differently? I appreciate any insight from Flash developers or Adobe employees. FYI - I just did a similar analysis with our video editing program and asked similar questions in an Apple Final Cut Pro forum and we are moving away from Apple's Final Cut Pro after they changed direction with their latest release and we are now going to start teaching Adobe Premiere. Should we focus teaching Flash for Android and Air development and back off from using it for web development?
    Thanks in advance.

    I'd like an answer for this one too.  Thank you, "Media Kat" for posting the question.  I am a prototyper with a background in art and design, who has worked exclusively with Flash for nearly 13 years.  I'm currently working with AIR for Android, but my superiors and associates think AIR is going to die (along with the rest of Flash) and don't understand that simply "switching to HTML5" is not a very palatable answer.  It would be helpful to hear from someone "in the know" about the future of Flash.
    Thanks.
    P.S.  If someone from Adobe answers this, please don't BS me like they did at the last forum I attended at Adobe headquarters in San Jose.  We asked specifically if Flash and/oir Flex were dying and were assured that they had a long future... Three weeks before the announcement to kill it!  :-(

  • About oracle spatial development platform

    Dear sir:
    At present,I can set the spatial data with oracle spatial in Oracle dba 11g,and can view map throught IE with Javascript API.But is there any oracle spatial development platform.With it ,I can drag the visual module(as:JavascriptAPI) to finish the Web page edition.Like ArcGIS,they supply them(as:throuht visual studio,asp.net API).
    Can you show me the way to get it?
    Looking forward your reply.
    Thanks your attention.

    Hi,
    It sounds like you are using Oracle Maps - i.e. the javascript API of Oracle MapViewer. In that case you are better off posting on the MapViewer forum:
    MapViewer
    As for looking for a development environment, JDeveloper is likely to be your best bet for integration, but that really depends on what type of application are you developing? Is it Oracle APEX? BI? ADF? .NET? etc.

  • 13" or 15" for web development?

    Hi guys,
    I've decided I am switching to Mac (currently Ubuntu user), so I am looking for a new laptop. Since I am a web developer, there are some things that are really important to me:
    Big resolution, so I can see a lot of code
    Portability. The lighter - the better. Also, I need to be able to carry it around. So smaller is also better.
    Great battery life.
    Having said that, I think (correct me if I'm wrong), my two options are 13" vs 15". To be honest, I currently use a 15" and it's a bit biggish.
    So, which of the two is better for development?
    Kind regards,
    Dobromir

    I said it was biggish, not too big.
    Basically I'm looking for an answer to "Is the 13" too small for coding or is it OK?", preferably from someone who has used it for that.
    Of course, I've been to the apple store, but impressions can be quite different from opinions after daily use.

  • Not able to connect VS Web Developer Express through instant client 10

    I just spent 10 hours attempting to connect Web Developer Express 2010 to an Oracle 10g database. In the end the solution was beyond simple, but with the existing threads there is a lot of talking around the problem. I’m posting this in case it might help someone else.
    Obtain the Oracle instant client software that will work for your database. You will only need the basic package.
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index-100365.html
    Extract the contents to a temp location on your hard disk
    Create a directory for the application – it could be anything, but here is what I used
    C:\instantclient
    Copy the extracted files into the directory you just created.
    Right click on my computer and choose properties
    Under advanced and environment variables you will need to add the directory you created above to the system variables PATH. You will need to create a new system variable called TNS_ADMIN and put the same c:\instantclient path in it.
    Create the file tnsnames.ora under the c:\instantclient directory and put your customized entry in it. Below is an example.
    tnsnams.ora file contents
    <Alias for this tnsnames entry> =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <Your Oracle Server>)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    (SERVICE_NAME = <Your database instance>)
    It’s a good idea to restart your system after this installation.
    In web developer express use the .NET Framework Data Provider for OLE DB.
    Here is the key piece of information!!
    Under server name you need to use the alias from the tnsnames.ora file entry. If you do not do this it will not pick up the SERVICE_NAME parm and will give you some goofy error like:
    ORA-12514: TNS:listener could not resolve SERVICE_NAME given in connect descriptor
    or

    I tested it with a couple different usernames and a couple different browsers and it works fine on my end.. but none the less it is happening to him. This is the second time it happened to two different clients.

    XP Pro
    Was IE7, now latest FF
    No antivirus

    Did you try looking in the systray? With recent versions of java, you right click the coffe cup icon in the systray to get at the VM info. That's because the sun VM is a system-wide thing, not linked into the browser so much any more.

  • Hostnames with local web development environment

    I'm running the latest version of OS X Server 2.0.23 on Mountain Lion 10.8.2, and am trying to get set up to use X Server as a local web development environment.
    When I went through the steps of installing X Server, I used the hostname "jb.local". By enabling the websites feature, and pointing my browser to jb.local, I was able to see the default welcome page, and thought everything was going well. However, I can't figure out how to add additional hosts to this domain (i.e. drupal.local, or wordpress.local) without modifying my hosts file.
    Do I now need to setup DNS in the server and set my Mountain Lion client to use it or something, or is there some better way that I'm missing?

    When I was installing Server, it guessed the .local extension, (which we are using as the name of our local subnet) but not the whole hostname "jb.local". I added that myself. This machine is not registered as "jb.local" anywhere in our internal DNS.
    This confuses me because pinging jb.local correctly resolves to the internal IP address of this machine on our network. So how is this resolving?  There is no entry for this in my hosts file, and our internal DNS has no record of the hostname "jb.local".
    This hostname was invented during the installation of the Server app, so there must be some communication between this machine, and the server app, that is resolving this hostname correctly, but I can't find anything on it.

  • Listbox control in Visual Web Developer not working correctly

    Not sure where to post this issue.  I am developing a web app using Visual Web developer. I have created an .aspx page where I have placed a listbox control on the page and populate it when the page loads.  When I select an item from the list the
    listindex value is always -1.  I can never get the index for the other values.  I've used the following code,but get the same results:
    For i = 0 To ListBox1.Items.Count - 1
        If ListBox1.Items(i).Selected = True Then
            val= ListBox1.Items(i).Value 
        End If
