Web Based Messageboard (JSP, XML, XSLT) - Just Looking For Advice Please!

I have a general question - I am not looking for any code, just some advice if possible. I am studying on a Masters course and I have been given an assignment to do which I am having difficult getting started. I have worked a lot with Java up until now, however this is the first time I have had to JSP on my course.
My current assignment is that I am required to create a simple web based message board, using JSP and XML, which allows users to post messages to the board, and also to reply to messages. The content of the message board is stored in an XML file, and there is no database involved. The message data needs to be formatted for viewing in a browser using XSL transformations.
I am stuck as to how to go about starting the project, and this is all I am asking for advice in. I have created the basic XML file which has some preliminary data stored within it, and I have created an XSL stylesheet to transform this data, however I am stuck with the JSP. Do I need to create a seperate JSP page for each page of the website? How does this link in with the XSLT?
I would welcome and really appreciate any advice, but I stress that I am not looking for anyone to give me any code or anything like that.
Thanks.

You can use XSLT to convert XML to HTML. Then include this HTML in your JSP. Further on you've a plain HTML form with an input field for a message which you submit to a servlet. In the servlet validate/convert/whatever this message and add it to the XML file and then forward/redirect the request back to the JSP.

    Unfortunately, Safari cannot be updated past 5.1.10 on a Mac running v10.6.8.
    So, the options are to upgrade to a newer OS X or use Firefox or  Chrome.

  • HELP: JSP + XML + XSLT = HTML?

    Hello, all.
    I am trying out Weblogic 6 and I am trying to get the JSP + XML + XSLT =>
    HTML chain working.
    I am coming from using Orion and SAXON.. and in that situation I had a JSP
    that contained XML tags... they were filled in at runtime and then using
    Servlet-Chaining was passed along to the SAXON XSLT Processer. SAXON checked
    for the inline XSL specified and then used that to transform the document
    into HTML.
    It worked well, but there were some other features missing/not documented
    that we now need.
    With Weblogic I am trying to use the XSLT Tag Library that comes with the
    distribution, but it seems to be very finicky. I followed the directions and
    I got it to do a sort of roundabout transformation. But it doesn't seem to
    work quite right.
    The best I can get is the following:
    I have an 'xslt' directory url-pattern-mapped to xslt.jsp (as instructed)...
    but can't figure out how to specify the xsl file on-the-fly... that is, if I
    don't hard-code the XSL file in the x:xslt element in the xslt.jsp it
    complains about some XML file not having a root element.
    Ideal situation:
    1. I have a JSP that includes XML elements.
    2. It is filled from a database at runtime and specifys (using a PI) what
    XSL stylesheet it is to be processed with.
    3. Somehow (fingers crossed) the XML is processed and transformed into HTML
    by the appropriate XSL file.
    I think I am mostly stuck moving between steps 2 and 3.
    Can anyone give me some hints? Are there some Weblogic specific
    elements/tags that I have to include in the XML file that Weblogic will
    catch and re-direct to the XSL Parser?
    Please, anyone, if you have some information, I would much appreciate it.

    traffic.

    Craig,
    I've since discovered how to do it with the WL Taglibrary... and have
    moved on =)
    It has to do with the EXTREMELY BADLY documented x:xml tag that can
    appear within the x:xslt tag body...
    So the WL Tag Library allows something like the following.
    (Please note, angled brackets are omitted in this post to prevent html
    parsing)
    [x:xslt stylesheet="sheet.xsl"]
    [x:xml]
    Here is the XML to run the sheet on.
    This should have all relevant XML syntax: the PIs, the doctype,
    root elements etc...
    [x:xml]
    [x:xslt]
    And that DOES work. But not very well. WL, a little prematurely
    incorporated versions 1.2 of Xerces and Xalan in their product -- and
    these versions have some irritating bugs.
    Also -- There tag library doesn't copy the source XML across as UTF-8
    .. so a lot of the Japanese I have embedded there (from a DB) gets
    mangled somewhere in their code...
    AND -- If you hammer a little bit on an JSP/XML that uses the WL Tag
    Library (eg clicking refresh lots of times in IE)... I get huge
    amounts of irritating exceptions appearing in the log files.
    NullPointerExceptions
    XSL Parsing Exceptions
    XML Parsing Exceptions
    but completely unpredictably...
    In my eyes.. the WL XML/XSL Tag Library using the incorporated and
    untouchable Xalan and Xerces (v1.2) is virtually unusable.
    What a pain.
    BUT! Apache offers a similar OPEN SOURCE XSL Tag Library available
    here:
    http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/xsl-doc/intro.html
    And it uses the standard, non-weblogic-incorporated, Xerces and Xalan
    (which means you can provide whatever version you want).. and it works
    impressively well.
    It has almost identical performance as the WL Taglib, and without all
    of the bizarre exceptions being thrown.
    And it does proper passing of the character encoding type!
    If only the taglib did caching though =(
    The performance hit over pure JSP is huge. Almost two orders of
    magnitude. On my desktop box I can get around 500Requests/Sec if I am
    returning HTML direct from a JSP... while if I produce XML that gets
    processed by XSL into HTML the Requests/Sec drops to 5!!!!
    Caching. Caching. And more Caching. A lot of DiskIO is going on with
    the XML/XSL/XHTML chain of events.
    I hope this helps!
    I'd be curious as to what you find out as well.

    Yep, I feel Dylan's pain.
    I am trying to accomplish the same thing. A JSP page generating
    dynamic XML content and then utilizing an XSLT stylesheet to transform
    all the content into XHTML.
    Does anyone have some examples that show exactly how to accomplish
    this? Can I do this with WLS and the XML taglib that comes with
    it? Or do I have to move on to something like Cocoon to get this
    capability?
    Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

  • I am looking for software to store photos with.  I am not a fancy photographer, and really am just looking for the digital version of a photo album. iPhoto is not cutting it, mainly because it does not back up and restore easily on an external HD.

    I am looking for software to store photos with.  I am not a fancy photographer, and really am just looking for the digital version of a photo album. iPhoto is not cutting it, mainly because it does not back up and restore easily on an external HD.

    That's how Time Machine and iPhoto now work.  Restore the library to one of the external HDs, check it for the photos you want, export them to the boot drive and delete the restored library.
    If you know the file name of the photo you're looking for you can search for them in the TM backup using Find Any File.
    My workflow allows me to do that:
    1 - upload new photos to a folder on the Desktop.
    2 - name the folder to represent the contents and date: 01/03/10-Toads Bday
    3 - use a file renaming app to sequentially rename the photos in the folder to: 2010-01-03-Toads Bday-001.JPG,  -002,JPG, -003.JPG,  etc.
    4 - import the folder into iPhoto creating an Event with the same title as the folder.
    Now I can search for those file by file name with any app of my choosing.

  • PRE 8.0 Just looking for a way to delete titles

    I have just started using PRE 8.0 and was adding titles yesturday, having learned it in an online adobe tutorial. However I could not find the delete button to remove the title once created. I was dragging different titles from the title menu onto the preview screen and playing with them a lttle bit. I noticed the little red line appearing down in the timeline representing the added title, but could not delete it again. i tried just looking for a delete button or a trashcan. i search all the menus around that screen. i tried highlighting and pressing keyboard delete. i tried right clicking the title in the preview pane and looking for a delete options. I would be glad to be glad to solve this little technique?? Other than that happy with its performance on my new Sony Vaio. I would also be keen to be pointed to a online tutorial to goes slowly though how to make a simple video

    You need to use the scroll button along the right side of the timeline to scroll up.
    The title is a clip on an upper video track.
    You can find out more about using this program in my free Basic Training with Premiere Elements tutorials on Muvipix.com and in my books, which are available on Amazon.

  • New at this and looking for advice

    Hi, I am new at Qmasnter and looking for advice. Myself and a few of my other co-workers have been using FCP2 and we have been tossing around the idea of making a Cluster with our computers on our campus. Two of us run on MacBook Pro's, and the other on a 24" iMac, there is also 2 MacPro's and another 24" iMac we would like to toss into the cluster. I know it seems backwards, the ones that are doing all the editing are on the slower machines, but our organization operates backwards and not logically anyways. The question is what happen to the cluster when a node is turned off? Should the laptops be a node in the cluster? All the computers are running on a gigabyte network, so the network can handle it. Just looking for peoples wisdom before I cause my own headache, and learn for others mistakes.
    Thanks

    Hi Jon,
    I've also started investigating the qmaster.
    I'm following this guide you posted on digitalrebellion :
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/blog/posts/usingcompressor_with_multiplecores.html
    but I the 'options for selected service' is greyed out when I click on compressor.
    I can selected the 'options for...' when I click on rendering, but it just allows me to add another computer (but my only choice is 'this computer'. I see the option for SSH, but if i'm logged into another computer, shouldn't I be able to see it in the list?
    Sorry for the noob questions. I"m trying to figure it out.
    I have the following at my disposal:
    mac pro 2.66 (main machine)
    imac 2.16
    macbook pro 2.2
    powermac g5 2.0

  • Looking for advice on photo software

    I am a recent 'switcher'. After using a PC for almost 25 years, I recently bought an iMac and couldn't be happier with the switch.
    Here's my problem: I currently have about 2,000 photos on my iMac and iPhoto has been awesome up until now for handling my photo needs. However, my family has recently gathered ALL of our old family photos and are passing them from one relative to another to copy, make prints or whatever they want to do. I plan on scanning most of them into my iMac. I realize that I'm going to have more photos than iPhoto is made to handle and I'm looking for Mac software capable of organizing these photos.
    For background, I own a Canon PowerShot 75 (point-and-shoot) digital camera and usually only take pictures while on vacation or at family gatherings. I am NOT a power user in photography. I rarely edit photos. I NEVER use RAW format and probably never will. Basically, I'm just looking for Mac-capable software capable of organizing and letting me find photos out of thousands of photos. I am willing to buy whatever I need but don't know which way to go. I've looked at Aperture and don't know if it's what I need or not. Something else?

    However, my family has recently gathered ALL of our old family photos and are passing them from one relative to another to copy, make prints or whatever they want to do. I plan on scanning most of them into my iMac. I realize that I'm going to have more photos than iPhoto is made to handle...
    Is that more than 250,000 photos? Because that's what iPhoto's made to manage. And once you hit that you still have the possibility of additional libraries.
    All of this:
    I own a Canon PowerShot 75 (point-and-shoot) digital camera and usually only take pictures while on vacation or at family gatherings. I am NOT a power user in photography. I rarely edit photos. I NEVER use RAW format and probably never will. Basically, I'm just looking for Mac-capable software capable of organizing and letting me find photos out of thousands of photos.
    points me to recommend iPhoto. Aperture is geared to RAW shooters.
    For a point of reference: I have 22k photos in my main library, and I can find any I need in seconds. The key is using Keywords:
    I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums exensively. I title the pics broadly.
    I keyword on a
    Who
    What
    Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
    Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 20k library in a couple of seconds.
    So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
    File -> New Smart Album
    set it to 'All"
    title contains Seattle
    keyword is mountain
    keyword is snow
    rating is 5 stars
    Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
    New Smart Album
    Keyword is John
    Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
    Want only the best pics?
    add Rating is greater than 4 stars
    The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
    Keywording takes time to set up, there's no doubt about it. I use Keyword Manager as it's much more powerful than the inbuilt system, and adds the possibility of nested keywords. So, for instance, if I add John to a photo it also adds 'Family'. Now I can add many keywords to a pic quickly.
    In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

  • Passing cursor record values to procedures - looking for advice

    I frequently use cursors in my programs and need to pass the values from said cursor around in the program to other procedures/functions.  I am looking for advice on the best or recommended way of doing this.
    Currently the majority of my programs do something like this:
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY some_pkg AS
         CURSOR some_cursor IS
              SELECT t.col1,
                               t.col2,
                              t.col3,
                   FROM some_table t;
    PROCEDURE sub_proc
         (p_cursor               IN      some_cursor%ROWTYPE)
    IS
    BEGIN
         dbms_output.put_line(p_cursor.col1);
    END sub_proc;
    PROCEDURE main_process
    IS
         l_cursor          some_cursor%ROWTYPE;
    BEGIN
         FOR l_cursor IN some_cursor LOOP
              sub_proc(l_cursor);
         END LOOP;
    END main_process;
    END some_pkg;
    Basically I create the cursor as global so I can use it's %ROWTYPE as a parameter datatype in my procedures. 
    I understand there are other options such as using a defined record type, or ref cursors, but I'm not totally clear on how ref cursors would help me, I don't really understand them well.
    Can anyone provide some feedback on how I currently handle this situation vs. the alternatives?
    Thanks

    I am not sure what you need to do.
    You can base records on cursors or tables using the %ROWTYPE operator.
    Cursors can be defined in the package header and used elsewhere by using normal cursor functionality (untesed)
    create or replace package my_package as
      cursor my_cursor is
        select *
          from dual;
      my_procedure;
    end my_package;
    create or replace package body my_package as
      procedure my_procedure is
      my_record my_package.my_cursor%rowtype;
      begin
        for r in my_package.my_cursor loop
          my_record := r;
        end;
      end my_procedure;
    end my_package;
      This can allow you to define the cursor in one place and reference it elsewhere.
    Reference cursors are pointers to result sets.  They reference actual datasets and can be passed between routines if defined in package headers.  There is a little more overhead using reference cursors but they support dynamic sql if needed (it usually isn't). and you MUST carefully coordinate FETCH commands to receive the values the cursor is selecting (this is harder than it looks)(untested)
    create or replace package my_package as
      type my_refcur_type is sys_refcursor;
      my_procedure;
    end my_package;
    create or replace package body my_package as
      procedure my_procedure(p_refcur out my_package.my_refcur_type) is
      begin
        open p_refcur for 'select * from dual';
    end my_package;
    --elsewhere
    my_package.my_procedure(my_cursor);
    fetch my_cursor into v_dummy;
    Hope this helps

  • Just Looking for OEM Web Based Standalone

    I have 10.2.0.1.7 installed on one machine and I installed the client with the adminsitrator option on another. Im simply trying to connect to the 10g standalone web-based OEM version and am a little lost. Can someone please point me in the right direction for what I need to do to get this up
    Thanks

    I assume you mean that you need DBCONTROL (standalone version of Grid Control) to manage your new database. If yes, then this is usually there as part of your database. Try the link http://<your-host-name>:1820/em
    Otherwise you can also issue the command "emctl status dbconsole" which should reveal whether or not your agent is up. If it is not up, issue "emctl start dbconsole" and then reissue the status command which will reveal the URL to use to see dbcontrol home page.

  • JSP, XML, XSLT: applying XSL on JSP-generated XML doc

    Hello,
    I am currently trying to figure out how to do the following:
    let's consider (that's not entirely hypothetical :) ) a web application working with JSP (on apache/tomcat 3.1) and oracle BC4J Application modules.
    The JSPs call oracle webbeans to perform updates and retrieve data from an 8.1.6 database.
    Now I'm thinking of moving to a combination of JSP, XML and XSL, which (hopefully) would allow to customize the application depending on the user's browser, language etc...(that's the point isn't it?)
    It doesn't seem to be a problem to produce XML from a jsp, send it directly to the client browser, which in turn goes to look for the proper XSL file and does all the transformation stuff.
    However this only works with I.E 5 for the moment right? and most website need to support various kinds of browsers...
    The need is:
    * When a non XML-capable browser is detected, apply the proper XSL(s) on the server side before sending the result back, in html/wml/whatever...
    * For XML-capable browsers, produce raw XML, maybe apply some XSL(s), and eventually send the result to the browser which handles the rest of the XSL stuff itself.
    Therefore, I'd like to:
    - Have the jsp produce the raw xml data (maybe adding extra tags, to indicate the browser and/or the language that the jsp engine has detected).
    - Pass the output to a first XSLT engine which would take care of the language stuff
    - Feed the result into a second XSLT engine to handle browser specificities for instance...
    - Send the final output to the client browser.
    Now, there are 2 problems:
    * 1/ I have seen various engines capable of chaining XSL transforms, and it is easy to produce XML from a jsp, but I don't know how to feed a jsp's output into an XML engine. is that possible? how?
    * 2/ I'm a bit concerned about the cost of applying three (or more) process stages, does anyone have insight on the performance issues this could raise?
    bonus question ;) : is there a simpler approach?
    Thanks a lot in advance, Remi

    I just purchased a D7000 and I'm looking to upgrade my PC for photo work with Lightroom and Photoshop CS5. Looking for feedback from experienced users. What is better, MacBook Pro or Win 7 64 bit?

    Its hard to get reliable information about which platform Lightroom is most likely to work best on, since Adobe would say "works equally well on both", and most individuals have personal biases that cloud objectivity (plus, the users just dont have enough data points to make a curve, so to speak).
    I've used Lightroom on both platforms, but can't tell which is best, except:
    The Windows version supports hotkeys for menu accesses, which makes plugin use far more convenient (Mac version does not). Also, some (not many) plugin functions just dont work on the Mac because of it.
    Also (I'm a plugin author) there are some inefficiencies in the Windows implementation of the plugin infrastructure that make me wonder if the Lightroom software has a Mac bias under the hood - but I dont know. On the other hand, there are some anomalies in the Mac implementation of the plugin infrastructure that make it hard to program plugins to work as well - for example, edited text fields are not commited before a button click is processed, so having buttons that do things with freshly entered text can be a challenge - there are some workarounds but not always viable, and a plugin author must know about it, remember it, code for it, and test for it... And, Mac users need to be aware that they may need to tab out of a text field before clicking a button that processes the text...
    Anyway, in the grandest scheme of things, I think the differences are relatively minor, and the bigger question is: Which platform do you want to use for "other" things besides Lightroom.
    PS - There may be slightly more potential for problems on the Windows platform because of the larger variety of hardware and drivers which could have funny interactions, but these are the corner cases...
    Lightroom works great on my Mac, and on my Windows machine (much better on new machine than older), but Aperture hardly works at all on my (relatively new) Mac (sloooooooow), yet others dont have same problem... - go figure...
    Cheers,

  • How can i move ALL of my Iphoto/aperture pictures from the internal hd to a external hd at one session?  just need to how to do this. (I know this is a long process; just looking for a faster method).

    looking for a way other than post and click. 

    I'm not at all sure what you mean by "post and click", but if you wish to move your entire iPhoto Library, then follow these steps:

    As far as I know, you can set up Aperture to access its library on an external drive; I tried to find some info for you and found this support site for it - you might want to check it out. Also, you might want to check the manual on how to move the library.
