Website design question using DW MX

Hello,
Relative rookie here looking for some info. Will dreamweaver
Mx allow me to build a site such as www.ada.net ?
Also and more importantly are there any good site for
templates? I am basically try to build the site listed above of
course using different names, colors and products.
Thank you,
Tyler

The real question is "will your skill with HTML and CSS allow
you to use DMX
to build a site like that"? An inexperienced user using DMX
can only build
sites that would look like they were built by an
inexperienced user, doncha
know? But - can DMX allow you to build a site like that?
Certainly.
Good sites for templates? Try Google.

  • Editorial content website - design questions

    Hello everyone,
    I am developing an editorial content website with some community functionalities. Currently i am working on the design part, API design and so on, but i am at an stage where i am not sure if i am following the right way.
    I am using lots of interfaces, i have a "huge" main Content interface that defines a lot of common behaviour like:
    getHeadLine()
    getSummary()
    getComments()
    getAuthor()
    getKeywords()and so on....
    Then i have some content type interfaces extending Content like, Article, Gallery, Event, Comment, etc. I also have implementation classes for the content type interfaces (ArticleImpl, GalleryImpl, EventImpl, CommentImpl, etc).
    I finnaly have defined common behaviour for all the content types as interfaces: Commentable, Rateable, Viewable and so on.
    I would like to ask you experts if i am on the right track, because i dont want to fail at design stage.
    Thanks a lot in advance

    I think Saish's idea is cool, although you may want to add a few more methods per interface.
    On the subject of delegation, you will will need to do this if you don't want to implement each part of your inherited interfaces over and over again for each concrete derived class - particularly if any of the interfaces have significant implementations.
    So for example you may want a class CommentableAuthorableItem which is an implementation of both Commentable and Authorable.
    Rather than..
    class CommentableAuthorableItem implements Commentable, Authorable
      private List<Comment>  comments;
      private String author;
    public List<Comment> getComments()
         return comments;
    public String getAuthor()
        return author;
    }have
    class AuthorableImpl implements Authorable
        private String author;
        public String getAuthor()
           return author;
    class Commentable implementa Commentable
        private List<Comment> comments;
       public List<Comment> getComments()
             return comments;
    }and then have
    class CommentableAuthorableItem implements Commentable, Authorable
      private Commentable  commentable = new CommentableImpl();
      private Authorable authorable = new AuthorableImpl();    
    public List<Comment> getComments()
         return commentable.getComments();
    public String getAuthor()
        return authorable.getAuthor();
    }This is what is meant by delegation and follows the golden rule of 'favoring composition over inheritance'.

  • System Design Question using BPEL

    Our group is currently in the early design phases of a new order extraction and billing process. What we would like to do is to an extraction of order data occur at a time specified on an Extraction Profile (which is defined by the users in a template - the profiles are built at midnight for the next day) Is there any way to have BPEL use these times (defined in the table) as the start point of when to begin the processing? The extractions are mutliple times each day and could be different day to day. We would like to have BPEL orchestrate the processes involved.

    I guess polling is a option you can try.
    You can write a polling process in BPEL to act as triggering point form the table.
    Perform logical compare for the times and terminate the poller if the time does not match.
    If the time match then start the business process and this could act as the triggering point to run the business process.
    You might like to perform a logical delete using a status flag in the table.
    If you do not like to touch the original table, you could create a dummy table to hold the bits that could be joined with the original table for the polling.
    Polling interval could be set based on how much diff you could allow from the scheduled time for triggering the process.

  • Design question -using struts

    have String array's which have values in them.
    dbValues[]
    newValues[]
    Have an object Customer which is the row obj in a table in jsp page. This row obj basically has
    dbValues[0] , newValues[0] ...... etc.
    In Prepare Action.
    Creating the list of Customer obj's that is put in the form-bean.
    struts-config.
    <form-bean name="Form" type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm" dynamic="true">
    <form-property name="custs" type="java.util.ArrayList"/>
    </form-bean>
    jsp:
    the customers are shown in the jsp in a table.
    I have to check if it's new customer then have to ask user if they want to put dbValues in the newValues. If the user presses 'yes' then have to put the dbValues in newValues and then create the rowObjects(i.e Customer Objects) and display them in jsp.
    Not sure how to do this. Before asking the user if they want to replace newValues, the rowsObjects are created. somehow have to create new rowObjects again. Using LookupDispatchAction. when the user presses 'yes' how is the user values 'yes' will be passed as i am using LookupDispatchAction which method gets executed?
    How to do this? Thanks.

    I am giving how to work with LookDispatchAction.
    It gives the solution for ur problem.
    ->firtst it get the value from the button.
    -> That value is used to identify the key from the resource bundle.
    ->That key is used to get the method name from getKeyMethodMap()of
    lookdispatchaction.
    that's why we say that it looks in reverse manner.
    What I said above is theretical.
    From this u can understood how to do it.
    Cheers

  • Basic Starting Website Design Question

    I am trying to create a webpage with two buttons, Home and About.
    If the user clicks 'About', I would like an image to slide across the screen (motion tween) and display the 'About' page. (page2)
    How do you make an image animate whenever it goes from one "page" (instance) to another?
    Screenshots:
    From the first page to the second, the image does not tween...just shifts positions...how do I tween between pages like this when buttons are clicked?

    Yes, your command is telling it to jump to that frame.  Try using...
    function button2_clicked(e:MouseEvent):void
         play();

  • A general design question using servlets

    Hello all,
              We have 2 WebLogic app./web servers. Lets call the first one Server A and
              the other Server B. Server A shows a web page to the client/browser and that
              has links to Server B. Now there is some authentication information that
              needs to be passed to Server B too. We were thinking of embedding that
              information in the web page itself. So a link on a page served by Server A
              could look like:
              Login to Server B
              Now the issue with such a solution is that the login token is exposed to the
              browser and the client. This would lead to the token being copied and pasted
              for replay attacks on Server B. I was thinking of better ways to solve this
              issue. PLease let me know if you have faced such issues earlier and a better
              solution using Servlets/JSP etc..
              Thanks.
              

              Either use a cookie by setting its domain name your two servers share, or add very
              short timeout. In later case, you generate the token with very short timeout in
              one server, use redirect to send the request to the second server, then use the
              session objects in both servers to indicate the user login. When you logout, you
              need kill the session objects on both servers.

  • Best Adobe website program to use with Creative Cloud - BC, Muse or Dreamweaver?

    Hi - I'm new to Adobe Creative Cloud and I'm planning on having at least a couple of my websites designed/hosted using ACC. My question is, I noticed that Adobe has three different pieces of software for website production. I'm aware of Dreamweaver, but I'm willing to give either Muse or Business Catalyst a try since I wouldn't have to do any coding. Does anyone have a preference either way as far as website design w/Adobe Creative Cloud goes? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Depends entirely on your preference.
    I avoid BC's interface like the plague because it has a tendency to "correct" my code in ways that I don't want (like adding html line breaks into javascript and commenting out things.) Between Dreamweaver or Muse I like DW because at least it gives you more control over your code.
    But I use notepad++ and i'm perfectly happy. You don't have to use Adobe software to work with BC if you don't want to, though obviously they would prefer it if you did

  • Website Design Using Adobe Flash

    Hi everybody,
    I need some help from anyone that expert in website design using adobe flash player.
    Please send me a PM.
    Thank you
    Jarlabs

    Would you mind reposting this question over on the Flash Professional forums?  This forum is primarily for end users, the Pro forums will get you in touch with a wider developer audience.

  • Who makes the nicest, easiest to use Flash website design software?

    Please forgive the beginner's question. I would like to build
    a flash site like
    http://www.hockaday.org from an
    easy to use Flash template. You get what you pay for so my first
    choice isn't something for free but a 30-day free trial version
    would be nice.
    What I like best about
    http://www.hockaday.org is the
    great menus and that pictures continually reload in interesting
    ways.
    Maybe a template is too restrictive. Who makes the nicest,
    easiest to use Flash website design software that allows fast
    creation of those fancy menus and with other fast features to do
    nice things with pictures and motion?
    I need to create a site like
    http://www.hockaday.org
    immediately so I don't have the time to learn Flash first. What's
    my best bet?

    you are in a catch 22 - you don't have time to learn flash -
    yet you need to build an entire site
    immediately - you can't - sure you can download a template
    that is similar but if this forum is any
    proof, you almost need more flash knowledge trying to
    decipher most templates in order to edit them
    - search this forum, there are several posts per week from
    non-flash users who purchased templates
    and have no clue how to edit them. Often times it is hard for
    an educated flash user to
    reverse-engineer a FLA made by somebody else - Flash
    documents are blank canvases that can be setup
    a myriad ways by different users making the same thing - some
    developers are more organized than
    others - most templates are not organized but rather thrown
    together for a quick profit.
    You will simply need to learn enough flash to understand how
    it works or hire somebody to edit the
    template for you.
    hope this helps.

  • Design questions on using JMX

    I have been reading about JMX and trying to understand it
    I have some specific design realted questions and wanted some opinions to validate my understanding
    Assume a simple j2ee application that exposes 2 webservices .
    I would like to find out how many times each service is called and the total number of success/faults/errors
    encountered for each service along with params like starttime etc
    From what I have understood , I will have to first create a Bean , say "StatsCollector"
    and then creae a StatsCollectorMBean interface.
    The StatsCollector will provide the methods to set/update the above values and those will also be exposed by the StatsCollectorMBean interface
    1) I have trouble understanding how to create and maintain the MBean Resource...
    Shouldnt there be always 1 instance of this resource ? ie shouldnt there be only one StatsCollector ?
    Most of the examples create a simple class "Hello implements HelloMBean" and that makes it a MBean
    but they create Hello hello = new Hello() and then register it with the MBean server
    What if we create multiple objects of Hello? Wouldnt that defeat the porpose of the MBean ?
    I think that we need to make sure that this resource is always created once only.
    Is that correct ?
    2) Is it the right practice to separate your MBean and your "managed" resource ?
    ie in the above case , should there be a Singleton StatsCollector POJO that stores the Appliction
    statistics and another StatsMBean that will be the MBean that will access the POJO ? This makes sure that your Resource does not have
    dependency management classes.
    3) How does the application update the values in the MBean ?
    In the above example , how do you update the success and failure counts in the MBean from the application ?
    Can I update the singleton StatsCollector directly or do I have to go through the MBean Server to update
    any value in the MBean ?
    If I update them directly , will they be "visible" thru the MBean server ?
    4) Assuming that the above app gets deployed in a appserver like WebSphere and in a Clustered environment ,
    how to ensure that statisitcs are collected for all the services on all servers cummulativly ?
    Is this something that the appserver should provide ? Do we register the MBean with the Appserver
    MBean server ?
    Any ideas/suggestions will be helpful !
    thanks
    Pat

    Hello pat,
    very interesting questions. You are covering the main JMX design questions there.
    You should have a look (if you not already did) to the JMX best practices : http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/core/mntr-mgmt/javamanagement/best-practices.jsp
    This document summarize common JMX design patterns.
    Answers to your questions:
    1) The resources you want to manage/monitor are Web Services. The life cycle of these services is handled by the J2EE container itself. As you say, the tricky part is to link the WebService resource life cycle to the MBean resource
    The MBean leaves inside its own container, the MBeanServer.
    You should identify an initialization phase in which you create your MBeans and register them inside the MBeanServer once.
    In your case, you can go for a single collector that monitors the 2 Web Services or a collector per Web Service. It seems that you want to track each service independently. Having 2 MBeans should offer a more flexible solution.
    If you go for 1 MBean, you should name it "<your management domain>:type=StatsCollector". This name identify an MBean for which you have a single instance. Once the collector registered with this name, the MBeanServer will guarantee that no MBean with the same name can be registered.
    If you go for 2 MBeans, you should add the Web Service name to each MBean ObjectName. For example:
    MBean 1 : "<your management domain>:type=StatsCollector,name=MyWebService1"
    MBean 2 : "<your management domain>:type=StatsCollector,name=MyWebService2"
    Example of MBean creation and registration code :
    StatsCollector collector1 = new StatsCollector();
    ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer().registerMBean(collector1,
    new ObjectName("com.foo.bar:type=StatsCollector,name=WebService1");
    At this point you have an MBean registered inside the platform MBeanServer.
    2) A Standard MBean is formed of a java interface and a class. Generally the interface and the class are not separated. They could be but I don't see a strong reason in your case to have the POJO and interface not being the same object.
    3) You shouldn't expose the methods to set the values in your MBean interface. Only getters should be visible. It means that you will have to keep a direct reference to the collectors to update the statistics. During your initialization phase, you could use JNDI to register the collector instances. The WebServices will then use JNDI to retrieve the collectors.
    An example of a simplified StatsCollector class and StatsCollectorMBean interface
    public interface StatsCollectorMBean {
    public int getNumRequests();
    public class StatsCollector implements StatsCollectorMBean {
    private int numRequests.
    public int getNumRequests() {
    return average;
    public serviceCalled() {
    numRequests++;
    In the above example, serviceCalled is not part of the management interface and is called by the Web Service.
    4) Difficult question for which I can't provide you with a reply. JMX doesn't offer such cumulative service in a standard way. In some appserver (glassfish for instance), MBeans are cascaded inside the domain server. There is no cumulative representation offered, but you could implement your own by defining new MBeans linked to the StatsCollector ones.
    To conclude, Appservers are offering some "out of the box" management and monitoring features . For example glassfish relies on the AMX framework (that is JMX based) . AMX (https://glassfish.dev.java.net/javaee5/amx/) allows you to monitor and manage your services. A possible solution would be to rely on this infrastructure to build your own management and monitoring.
    Hope this help.
    Regards.

  • Design question about when to use inner classes for models

    This is a general design question about when to use inner classes or separate classes when dealing with table models and such. Typically I'd want to have everything related to a table within one classes, but looking at some tutorials that teach how to add a button to a table I'm finding that you have to implement quite a sophisticated tablemodel which, if nothing else, is somewhat unweildy to put as an inner class.
    The tutorial I'm following in particular is this one:
    http://www.devx.com/getHelpOn/10MinuteSolution/20425
    I was just wondering if somebody can give me their personal opinion as to when they would place that abstracttablemodel into a separate class and when they would just have it as an inner class. I guess re-usability is one consideration, but just wanted to get some good design suggestions.

    It's funny that you mention that because I was comparing how the example I linked to above creates a usable button in the table and how you implemented it in another thread where you used a ButtonColumn object. I was trying to compare both implementations, but being a newbie at this, they seemed entirely different from each other. The way I understand it with the example above is that it creates a TableRenderer which should be able to render any component object, then it sets the defaultRenderer to the default and JButton.Class' renderer to that custom renderer. I don't totally understand your design in the thread
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=57&threadID=680674
    quite yet, but it's implemented in quite a bit different way. Like I was saying the buttonClass that you created seem to be creating an object of which function I don't quite see. It looks more like a method, but I'm still trying to see how you did it, since it obviously worked.
    Man adding a button to a table is much more difficult than I imagined.

  • Dreamweaver design question

    Hi all. I'm new to the forum and ha da design question. My site took about 3 weeks to complete and after finishing what I though was a pretty error free website I noticed that dreamwever 8 was coming up with numerous errors that matched http://validator.w3.org's scans. My question is this. Why does dreamwever ( regardless of the release ) allow the designer of the website he/she is creating without pointing out the errors as they go along with simple instructions on how to fx them.  As an example My meta tags
    <META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="xxxxxxx">
    <META NAME="description" CONTENT="xxxxxxxx">
    <META NAME="robots" CONTENT="xxxxx">
    <META NAME="author" CONTENT="xxxxxx">
    <META NAME="copyright" CONTENT="xxxxxx">
    all had to be changed over to
    <meta name="keywords" xxxxxxxxxxxxx">
    <meta name="description" CONTENT="xxxxxxx">
    <meta name="robots" CONTENT="xxxxxx">
    <meta name="author" CONTENT="xxxxxxxx">
    <meta name="copyright" CONTENT="xxxxxxxx">
    all because dreamweaver didnt tell me that the <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
       "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    didnt fit the original design. Now my site ( if you wish to view the code ) is www.gamblingwhore.com and if you look at the page source you will see that the code has been corrected on dw 8 but still shows more than 30 errors on http://validator.w3.org. Does dreamwevaer not have the basic tool available to fix these errors without such hassle. Its not just my site either, many sites built in dreamwever can be checked with the http://validator.w3.org website only to find more than 20 -100 different errors.
    Dream weaver creators need to focus on these errors because they hinder seo and they create alot of extra work
    Thank you

    The w3c and XHTML have come a ways since the release of Dreamweaver 8 (I used it in late 2004 and 2005).
    Dreamweaver 8 will build transitional XHTML files as well as old style single tag HTML. It all depends on the personal preferences of the designer.
    Just for kicks, go to say... 20 random websites and see just how many get a green light when you validate them. If its half, you're lucky. This page doesn't even validate;
    Dreamweaver has the menu option (at least in CS3 an CS4) under the Commands menu to "Clean Up HTML" or "Clean Up XHTML" depending on what you're building. I make a point of running that command as I build along with Apply Source Formatting.
    I also use a local validator program to check my code before putting anything.
    That's why they call it WYSIWYG software.
    If it did everything perfectly for everyone every single time, good web designers would find themselves out of work.

  • Web design questions (Was: A number of questions..)

    Ok so!
    What fonts are known to go well together when making banners or headers? I have been messing around with a lot of fonts and im really just looking for some new ones!
    I know this question really depends on the banner itself but what is a recommended size of a font when making a header? lets say 860x250 ?
    Are there any real kind of "must nots" when designing banners?
    When Placing text onto A banner where is the usual place you would see it? I know it changes from site to site but from just looking around a lot of text seems to be in the left bottom corner, is this a norm of some sort?
    Are there any known font combinations which would go together well when making a full webpage? As in fonts for the sidebar, content area, footer etc, any combinations?
    Thank you very much!

    You are asking design questions, but most web designers, including those who frequent this forum, have  no design expertise.
    Your questions are good, but  incomplete. The right typeface and size depends on the impression you are trying to create. For instance, you wouldn't want to use the typeface "Comic" for a website selling financial services.
    Many corporations have lengthy documents detailing their identity for graphic design and advertising. Such documents define which typefaces may be used where, and how. Assuming that you don't have such a document to work with for the creation of this web banner, think about the business, organization (or whatever) the website is for. Should it convey conservative dependability? Edginess? Family friendliness? The typefaces you choose should take such qualities into consideration.
    There's no definite answer to any of the questions you have asked. But that's OK. You should research websites that create the kind of impression you want to make and study how they accomplish it.

  • Design question: Scheduling a Variable-timeslot Resource

    I originally posted this in general java programming, because this seemed like a more high-level design descussion. But now I see some class design questions. Please excuse me if this thread does not belong here (this is my first time using the forum, save answering a couple questions).
    Forum,
    I am having trouble determining a data structure and applicable algorithm (actually, even more general than the data structure -- the general design to use) for holding a modifiable (but more heavily read/queried than updated), variable-timeslot schedule for a given resource. Here's the situation:
    Let's, for explanation purposes, say we're scheduling a school. The school has many resources. A resource is anything that can be reserved for a given event: classroom, gym, basketball, teacher, janitor, etc.
    Ok, so maybe the school deal isn't the best example. Let's assume, for the sake of explanation, that classes can be any amount of time in length: 50 minutes, 127 minutes, 4 hours, 3 seconds, etc.
    Now, the school has a base operation schedule, e.g. they're open from 8am to 5pm MTWRF and 10am to 2pm on saturday and sunday. Events in the school can only occur during these times, obviously.
    Then, each resource has its own base operation schedule, e.g. the gym is open from noon to 5pm MTWRF and noon to 2pm on sat. and sun. The default base operation schedule for any resource is the school which "owns" the resource.
    But then there are exceptions to the base operation schedule. The school (and therefore all its resources) are closed on holidays. The gym is closed on the third friday of every month for maintenance, or something like that. There are also exceptions to the available schedule due to reservations. I've implemented reservations as exceptions with a different status code to simplify things a little bit: because the basic idea is that an exception is either an addition to or removal from the scheduleable times of that resource. Each exception (reservation, closed for maintenance, etc) can be an (effectively) unrestricted amount of time.
    Ok, enough set up. Somehow I need to be able to "flatten" all this information into a schedule that I can display to the user, query against, and update.
    The issue is complicated more by recurring events, but I think I have that handled already and can make a recurring event be transparent from the application point of view. I just need to figure out how to represent this.
    This is my current idea, and I don't like it at all:
    A TimeSlot object, holding a beginning date and ending date. A data structure that holds list of TimeSlot objects in order by date. I'd probably also hold an index of some sort that maps some constant span of time to a general area in the data structure where times around there can be found, so I avoid O(n) time searching for a given time to find whether or not it is open.
    I don't like this idea, because it requires me to call getBeginningDate() and getEndDate() for every single time slot I search.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    If I am correct, your requirement is to display a schedule, showing the occupancy of a resource (open/closed/used/free and other kind of information) on a time line.
    I do not say that your design is incorrect. What I state below is strictly my views and should be treated that way.
    I would not go by time-slot, instead, I would go by resource, for instance the gym, the class rooms (identified accordingly), the swimming pool etc. are all resources. Therefore (for the requirements you have specified), I would create a class, lets say "Resource" to represent all the resources. I would recommend two attributes at this stage ("name" & "identifier").
    The primary attribute of interest in this case would be a date (starting at 00:00hrs and ending at 24:00hrs.), a span of 24hrs broken to the smallest unit of a minute (seconds really are not very practical here).
    I would next encapsulate the availability factor, which represents the concept of availability in a class, for instance "AvailabilityStatus". The recommended attributes would be "date" and "status".
    You have mentioned different status, for instance, available, booked, closed, under-maintainance etc. Each of these is a category. Let us say, numbered from 0 to n (where n<128).
    The "date" attribute could be a java.util.Date object, representing a date. The "status", is byte array of 1440 elements (one element for each minute of the day). Each element of the byte array is populated by the number designation of the status (i.e, 0,1,2...n etc.), where the numbers represent the status of the minute.
    The "Resource" class would carry an attribute of "resourceStatus", an ordered vector of "ResourceStatus" objects.
    The object (all the objects) could be populated manually at any time, or the entire process could be automated (that is a separate area).
    The problem of representation is over. You could add any number of resources as well as any number of status categories.
    This is a simple solution, I do not address the issues of querying this information and rendering the actual schedule, which I believe is straight forward enough.
    It is recognized that there are scope for optimizations/design rationalization here, however, this is a simple and effective enough solution.
