Xmonad - prevent web browser from going "fullscreen"

Hi,
is there a possibility in xmonad to prevent an application (in my case the web browser) from resizing to fullscreen when it's the only window on a workspace? I have a huge display and do not want chromium to resize to the full resolution. I've done a lot of searching on this problem (and I can't believe that I'm the only one with this issue) but didn't find anything about that. Maybe because of my bad English...
As mentioned in the title, the WM is xmonad.
Thank you very much.

Well, you could write a manageHook that tests if it is the only window on the screen, and if it is, changes the layout, or floats the browser with a spesific size

Preventing the User from going back to the main page after logging out.

Hi all,
In my project I want to prevent the User from going back to the Main page, by clicking the back button of the browser, after the user has loggged out.I had invalidated the session so the user will not be able to do any operations, but he can vew the infos. I want to redirect to the login page if the user tries to go back using the back button after he has logged out.
I tried the same in this forum after loging out. Surprisingly it is the same. I can browse through all the operations i did even after logging out from here.
Is it not possible to do that in Servlets?Could somebody help?
Thanks,
Zach.

Hi,
You can use a servlet filter to do this , as it can interceptany request to your application you can decide to allow user access or not to any page/servlet.
public class Test implements Filter{
     public void destroy() {
     public void doFilter(ServletRequest arg0, ServletResponse arg1, FilterChain arg2) throws IOException,
               ServletException {
          System.out.println("filter");
          HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) arg0;
          if(!request.getRequestURI().contains("index")){ // set condition that will be checked to verify if the user is logged in
               System.out.println("redirecting ... ");
               RequestDispatcher d = arg0.getRequestDispatcher("/index.jsp");
               d.forward(arg0, arg1);
          arg2.doFilter(arg0, arg1);
     public void init(FilterConfig arg0) throws ServletException {
}in you web.xml add :
<filter>
          <filter-name>test</filter-name>
          <filter-class>test.Test</filter-class>
     </filter>
     <filter-mapping>
          <filter-name>test</filter-name>
          <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
     </filter-mapping>

Closing Web Browser from an Applet

Does anyone knows how to close the Web Browser from an Applet ?
Also Is there a way to close a browser which is intantiated from using ApplteContext ().showDocument ("....","_Blank").
Thanks
Sohan

Hi kavinjir!
Using class netscape.javascript.JSObject is possible to interact with javascript which can easily close the window browser but I'm afraid about the newest one because it isn't a child window. If this newest window contains an applet both (applets) can interact and send/receive "messages" to trigger an event (e.g; close via javascript again).
Best Regards.

OneNote prevents my computer from going to sleep when I have a shared notebook open. Suggestions?

Hello,
The issue is that my computer will not go to sleep if I have OneNote opened with my shared notebook loaded.
Background: I'm currently running Windows 8 Pro on a desktop machine with Office 2010 Home and Student installed. I log into the OS under my outlook.com internet account. OneNote, which I always keep open, has my main
notebook shared on my SkyDrive.
Scenarios: The computer will go to sleep if I reboot the machine and do not open OneNote. The computer will go to sleep if I close my shared notebook, reboot the machine and open OneNote (with no notebooks open). The computer will go to sleep if I open
OneNote with my shared notebook, close it, AND exit OneNote from the icon in the system tray.
The scenarios I ran lead me to believe that OneNote is continuously polling my shared online notebook, thus preventing my computer from going to sleep. The is a regression from the behavior in Windows 7. Are there any configuration changes I can make to
fix this?
Thanks.

Try modify the settings under:
Control Panel --> Power Options --> Multimedia settings --> When sharing media to Allow the computer to sleep

Trying to install an upgrade but Error 7 is preventing the install from going thru. I am logged on as Administrator running windows 8.1 on my pc. Help

Trying to install an upgrade of iTunes on my pc but Error 7 (Windows 193) is preventing the install from going thru. I am logged on as Administrator running windows 8.1 on my pc. I have repaired and uninstalled a couple times These are my warnings
"Service 'Apple Mobile Device Service' ('Apples Mobile Device Service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privilege to start system services." [Abort Retry Ignore ]. "ItunesHelper was not installed correctly "

If the above steps haven't helped try installing:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
which is a 64-bit installer for a 32-bit core program, similar to previous 64-bit releases of iTunes, or roll back to:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

Is there any way to prevent web.xml from any change ?

hi all,
we have a filter in web.xml. Now we want to prevent it from any change in future. I mean after making a war(EAR) no one can change the filter in web.xml. if he chaged it then he will not be able to re deploy the application.Right now it is in web.xml so one can easily change it and then he can redeploy the application.
Is there any way to prevent web.xml from any change after making EAR(WAR)?
One can easily make a change in web.xml and redeploy the application to get the result. Now we want to restrict the web.xml as java class for any change after making EAR(or WAR).
Could some one help me to do this?
thanks,
dinesh

I think you could use some third party software to lock the folder like FolderLock, just make sure others ppl cannot access your file should be fined.
This is my stupid solution only,cheers.

hi,
Not at development level. We want it after deploying the application on server .
We want to create it (web.xml) at tomcat startup (or in any other web/app server ) before loading any context.
Is there any way to run a simple java class(not servlet) on tomcat startup(before initializing the contexts)?

Is it possible to start a web browser from with xterm (X11)?

Hello,
Would it be possible to start a web browser from xterm? I am able to use for example, dbca or netca. But I want to know if I could start a web brower in my xterm. Thank you.

Thank you. Firefox was not found on this redhat linux, I am guessing it was not installed. I did a find / -name firefox but not finding it. I don't think the SA installed GUI on this box. Is there a browser I can use even though GUI was not installed? That is why I am attempting to use xterm hoping to be able to access a brower in xterm. I am using Xming for xterm. Is there something in Xming I can use so I can access the Oracle Database Control Console? I can use firefox from my desktop but the port is block at the firewall and the SA would not open the port due to security reasons. Thank you.

How to prevent the browser from executing the old version of js file...

Dear sirs,
I have a JSP page that includes a javascript file as given below,
<script type="text/javascript" src="../scripts/validation.js"></script>
Some times modification is needed in this included script file. After the modification, when I load the JSP page in the browser,
the old copy of the script file, which was not modified is getting executed. by the browser.
I would like to know whether any options are availabe in javascript to prevent the browser from executing the old copy that has already downloaded to the temperary interner folder(from caching)and use the modified version available with the new response...
Thank you,
Sudheesh K S

Dear sir,
Thakyou very much for your comment.
I tried this, By doing thisThe .html page of the response will be deleted. But the javascript file will not be removed. It will be remail there.
This lead me to the idea to think about javascript. I heard that some commands are there in javascript like cache ="NO" but not sure. I searched in the net but no favourable result found...
Thank you,
Sudheesh....

How to open a web browser from java

Hi
Would anybody please help me with this. I need to open a web browser from my java app but I don't know. What method I can use?
Thanks.
Hung.

You can use the Runtime class for this. It can run any command. So, you can run the .exe file of your Web browser.
The following code will run Internet Explorer (assuming iexplorer.exe is in C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer):
import java.lang.Runtime;
public class Explore{
public static void main(String[] args) {
try{
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore");
}catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Exception: " + e);

Launch a default web browser from my java application

Hello,
I have been trying to launch my default web browser from my java application, but am unable do it. Right now, I am using ---- "Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start <url>"); to launch my webbrowser. It launches the browser but displays the command prompt for a second or so, and then replaces my already existing page with the new url.
Is there any way for me to launch the url in a completely new browser each and every time. And I don't want the command prompt to show up for a sec. Please help...!
Thanks in advance.
-BusyBusyBee

If by any chance your application is an Applet, you can use this to open a new browser window:
getAppletContext().showDocument(new URL(theUrl), "_blank");
But, you probably would have specified if that were the case. Oh well. Hope it helps someone!

Any new ideas for launching web browser from application

I have searched the forums trying to find a new way of launching a web browser from a java application. The problem I am having is that on Unix and Linux systems, at least the variety I have access to (not quite sure on what that variety those are as they are not my systems or systems I control), the common method of using Runtime.getRuntime().exec(STRING) with either netscape or mozilla does not work. While using the Runtime.exec method is not the same as a console, I did try on these systems "netscape + A_WEB_ADDRESS" (or mozilla) and it did launch the respective browser with the page, so it appears that at least from the console level, those commands are valid.
All the forums seem to say that the Runtime.exec method is the way to go. All the source code I have found through links from the forum say the same thing. I have voted on this bug:
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4210168.html
and the feedback there does seem to indicate that there is similar trouble out there. Below is the code I am using. It does work on Win2000,XP, and Mac OSX. The application is not supported on earlier systems, and as it stands it will not work on Win 95,98, nor ME. Only small modification should be needed for work on those OSs, but as I no longer personally use those OSs, I cannot be sure.
private void openNativeBrowser(String url) {
// not the browser itself is started, i only call something like
// start http://www.javasoft.com
// and then the standardbrowser will be started ...
StringBuffer call = new StringBuffer();
System.err.println(System.getProperty("os.name"));
System.err.println(System.getProperty("user.dir"));
try {
// which OS ?
String operatingSystem = System.getProperty("os.name");
// how to call the OS
if (operatingSystem.toLowerCase().indexOf("windows") > -1)
call.append("cmd /c start ").append(url);
else
if (operatingSystem.toLowerCase().indexOf("mac") > -1)
call.append("open ").append(url + " &");
else if(operatingSystem.toLowerCase().indexOf("linux") > -1)
// use Script 'netscape'
call.append("mozilla ").append(url).append(" &");
else
call.append("netscape ").append(url).append(" &");
System.err.println(call.toString());
// start it ...
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(call.toString());
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
As I said, if you have a new way to call the broswer that seems to work on either Unix or Linux, please post it, point to it, or explain it.
Aaron

there is a shell script on Linux called htmlview that you can launch like this:
String[] cmd = {"htmlview", "http://java.sun.com"};
try {
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
} catch (IOException ioe) {
    // do something
}which will open the default browser. Don't think this is available on other *NIX though, although the script itself would probably work so you could include it with your app (/usr/bin/htmlview).

Opening a web browser from an After Effects script

Hi,
This may be a stupid question, but is there any way to open a web browser with a URL from an AE script, other than explicity lanuching the browser app via a sys.callSystem() command?
I'm asking because obviously scripts need to run on both Windows and MacOS, and the user's default/preferred browser isn't necessarily going to be IE or Safari. That and I'd need to find the file path of the browser anyway somehow.
It's to display external help.
Thanks,
Christian

system.callSystem() can launch a URL without specifying the specific app. This code user's default browser. The last line is the main deal, the other stuff keeps it universal for PC and MAC.
//CHECKS FOR USER OS
function osCheck(){
          var op = $.os;
          var match = op.indexOf("Windows");
          if(match != (-1)){
                    var userOS = "PC";// User is on PC
          }else{
                    var userOS = "MAC";// User is on MAC
          return userOS;
// RUNS OS CHECK FUNCTION
var userOSVer = osCheck();
//DEFINES PC OR MAC TERMINAL SYNTAX
if(userOSVer == "MAC"){
          var urlLaunchCode = "Open";//Mac based
}else{
          var urlLaunchCode = "Start";//PC based
//ONCLICK FUNCTION FOR YOUR URL BUTTON CONTROL
//urlLaunchCode = Open or Start / " " = keeps a space character separator / "http://myurl.com" = Defines the actual URL path
myURLButton.onClick = function(){system.callSystem(urlLaunchCode + " " + "http://forums.adobe.com/thread/993523?tstart=0")};

How to open a web browser from an windows phone app

Hi everyone,
I am pretty new to Windows Phone 7, and now what I am trying to do is to create a simple app. When a user click to start this app, a browser will open and show the content of a webpage from a specific address.
I tried to use a webbrowser object, but it seems like that doesn't sport cookies. So I need my app to open a real web browser (maybe IE mobile) to do the job.
Thank you.

copying from stackoverflow: "If you want to embed a browser window inside your application then use the WebBrowser control. Add an instance of the WebBrowser control to your form then you can reference it in code using the name you
give it. (Default name is "webBrowser1")"
