  • Is a web-server (e.g servlets) a good solution for an IM server?

    - by John
    I'm looking at a new app, broadly speaking an IM application with a strong client-server model - all communications go through a server so they can be logged centrally. The server will be Java in some form, clients could at this point be anything from a .NET Desktop app to Flex/Silverlight, to a simple web-interface using JS/AJAX. I had anticipated doing the server using standard J2EE so I get a thread-safe, multi-user server for 'free'... to make things simple let's say using Servlets (but in practice SpringMVC would be likely). This all seemed very neat but I'm concerned if the stateless nature of Servlets is the best approach. If my memory of servlets (been a year or two) is right, each time a client sent a HTTP request, typically a new message entered by the user, the servlet could not assume it had the user/chat in memory and might have to get it from the DB... regardless it has to look it up. Then it either has to use some PUSH system to inform other members of the chat, or cache that there are new messages, for other clients who poll the server using AJAX or similar - and when they poll it again has to lookup the chat, including new messages, and send the new data. I'm wondering if a better system would be the server is running core Java, and implements a socket-based communication with clients. This allows much more immediate data transfer and is more flexible if say the IM client included some game you could play. But then you're writing a custom server and sockets don't sound very friendly to a browser-based client on current browsers. Am I missing some big piece of the puzzle here, it kind of feels like I am? Perhaps a better way to ask the question would simply be "if the client was browser-based using HTML/JS and had to run on IE7+,FF2+ (i.e no HTML5), how would you implement the server?" edit: if you are going to suggest using XMPP, I have been trying to get my head around this in another question, so please consider if that's a more appropriate place to discuss this specifically.

  • Kohana 3 - How do I make the Default Route pass arguments to the Controller's Action?

    - by John Himmelman
    My controller action requires a parameter, but I can't get KO3's router to pass this parameter in the Default route. This sort of thing works with other routes. Here is an example to clarify... In bootstrap.php... Route::set('default', '(<controller>(/<action>(/<the_required_param>)))') ->defaults(array( 'controller' => 'DefaultController', 'action' => 'index', 'the_required_param' => 'some_default_value', )); In controller file... class DefaultController extends Controller { public function index($the_required_param) { echo 'value: ' . $the_required_param; } }

  • How to do a Post/Redirect/Get using Sinatra?

    - by John Topley
    What's Sinatra's equivalent of Rails' redirect_to method? I need to follow a Post/Redirect/Get flow for a form submission whilst preserving the instance variables that are passed to my view. Does the redirect method preserve them? (I'm at work at the moment and don't have access to Sinatra to try for myself.)

  • Binding Javascript Event Handlers to a an Ajax HTML Response?

    - by John
    Let's say I have the following HTML code <div id="outer"> <div id="inner">Hello World</div> </div> At the end of my HTML page, I use javascript to attach event handlers like so, document.getElementById('inner').onclick = function() {alert(this.innerHTML);} document.getElementById('outer').onclick = function() { /* An Ajax Call where the response, which will be a string of HTML content, then goes into document.getElementById('outer').innerHTML */ document.getElementById('inner').onclick = function() {alert(this.innerHTML);} } In the above code, I am expecting <div id="inner">Hello World 2</div> to come back which requires me to re-attach the onclick event handler. This makes sense because the new response coming back is just a string, and I have to tell the browser that after converting to DOM, i also need some event handlers So my question is, is there a better way to manage event handlers on AJAX response that contains HTML content? I could use inline javascript within the html response, but then it prevents me from achieving non-intrusive javascript. So is there a way to achieve non-intrusive javascript and an efficient way to "maintain" event handlers of ajax html responses?

  • XHTML 1.0 DocType ignored in all browsers?

    - by John
    I was testing this, since I understood using XHTML let me use any valid XML for empty <div> elements: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8"> <title>Test</title> </head> <body> <div style="border:solid 10px black; width:100px; height:100px"></div> <div style="border:solid 10px red; width:100px; height:100px"></div> <div style="border:solid 10px blue; width:100px; height:100px"></div> <div style="border:solid 10px black; width:100px; height:100px" /> <div style="border:solid 10px red; width:100px; height:100px" /> <div style="border:solid 10px blue; width:100px; height:100px" /> </body> </html> It doesn't work in any browser I try... this is how FireBug tells me it understands the document: <html> <head> <meta content="text/html;charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"/> <title>Test</title> </head> <body> <div style="border: 10px solid black; width: 100px; height: 100px;"/> <div style="border: 10px solid red; width: 100px; height: 100px;"/> <div style="border: 10px solid blue; width: 100px; height: 100px;"/> <div style="border: 10px solid black; width: 100px; height: 100px;"> <div style="border: 10px solid red; width: 100px; height: 100px;"> <div style="border: 10px solid blue; width: 100px; height: 100px;"/> </div> </div> </body> </html> I'm a bit confused what the point is of using XHTML if I have to do this, I might as well just use HTML? Note, that setting the content type to content="application/xhtml+xml" makes no difference in FF3 at least.

  • Beginner question about getting reference to cin

    - by John C
    I'm having problems wrapping my head around this. I have a function void foo(istream& input) { input = cin; } This fails (I'm assuming because cin isn't supposed to be "copyable". however, this works void foo(istream& input) { istream& baz = cin; } Is there a reason that I can get a reference to cin in baz but I cannot assign it to input? Thanks

  • HTML / Conditional Comments - Do conditional comments behave as expected across browsers?

    Do conditional comments behave as expected across browsers? Can they cause rendering bugs or other issues? Are there any errors in the formatting/syntax of this CC? <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="718" height="227" id="swf"> <param name="movie" value="images/swf.swf" /> <!--[if !IE]>--> <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="images/swf.swf" width="718" height="227"> <!--<![endif]--> <img src="images/alt.jpg" border="0" width="718" height="227"> <!--[if !IE]>--> </object> <!--<![endif]--> </object>

  • IE showing "decimal" instead of "comma"

    - by John Stewart
    I am having an issue with a slider (implemented using Prototype) and IE7. Upon the slider value change I update a with the value such as "420,000". Now on all browsers other than IE7 this is display correctly. But on IE7 it is displayed as "420.000" .. my question is how did the "," become "." the page has UTF-8 meta tag. Any help?

  • Unrecognized libraries and functions

    - by John Smith
    I am working in Eclipse 3.7.2 on Ubuntu 12.04 with C++. I have read about a few instances where libraries were not being recognized and the majority said to update the Paths and Symbols but that hasn't fixed my issue. I have 2 projects open in my workspace, one of which is already a completed project that has implemented functions and libraries with no errors from Eclipse. However, when I try to implement some of the same functions or include the same libraries in the 2nd project Eclipse can't resolve them. For example, #include <string> #include <stdio.h> strstr(p, "<Project>"); The include statement will be accepted and stdio.h will be found but the strstr function is not resolved even though it works fine in the other project. Any ideas as to why this might be happening? Thanks.

  • Php, in_array with no exactly match

    - by John Smith
    I want to do the following: $a = array(); $a[] = array(1,2); $a[] = array(2,5); $a[] = array(3,4); var_dump (in_array(array(2,5), $a)); this returns OK, as it expected, but if the source array is not fully matched: $a = array(); $a[] = array(1,2, 'f' => array()); $a[] = array(2,5, 'f' => array()); $a[] = array(3,4, 'f' => array()); var_dump (in_array(array(2,5), $a)); it returns false. Is there a way to do it with the built-in way, or I have to code it?

  • Alert team members of SVN commit?

    - by John
    I'm hosting my own svn repository on ubuntu 8.04. Is there a way for svn to send emails to team members whenever a commit has happened? If coding is required, the only language I'm able to use on a linux server is PHP. So I could write a php script to be triggered by svn. Can anyone tell me how to hook up my php script to an svn commit? Or is there another way to do this?

  • How to test obtaining a list of files within a directory using RSpec?

    - by John Topley
    I'm pretty new to the world of RSpec. I'm writing a RubyGem that deals with a list of files within a specified directory and any sub-directories. Specifically, it will use Find.find and append the files to an Array for later output. I'd like to write a spec to test this behaviour but don't really know where to start in terms of faking a directory of files and stubbing Find.find etc. This is what little I have so far: it "should return a list of files within the specified directory" do end Any help much appreciated!

  • Define global textbox (or other control) width in WPF

    - by John B
    I'd like to be able to maintain the width of controls globally throughout my WPF application. Previously in winforms world I'd override onload in a base form and iterate through all controls and containers and determine the type of controls and set the dimensions accordingly. I guess I could do the same in WPF but is there any better way to do this?

  • High accuracy cpu timers

    - by John Robertson
    An expert in highly optimized code once told me that an important part of his strategy was the availability of extremely high performance timers on the CPU. Does anyone know what those are and how one can access them to test various code optimizations? While I am interested regardless, I also wanted to ask whether it is possible to access them from something higher than assembly (or with only a little assembly) via visual studio C++?

  • Language restrictions on iPhone partially lifted?

    - by John Smith
    Apparently Apple has changed some term in the agreement again. From http://www.appleoutsider.com/2010/06/10/hello-lua/ section 3.3.2 is now Unless otherwise approved by Apple in writing, no interpreted code may be downloaded or used in an Application except for code that is interpreted and run by Apple’s Documented APIs and built-in interpreter(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with Apple’s prior written consent, an Application may use embedded interpreted code in a limited way if such use is solely for providing minor features or functionality that are consistent with the intended and advertised purpose of the Application. instead of the original No interpreted code may be downloaded or used in an Application except for code that is interpreted and run by Apple’s Documented APIs and built-in interpreter(s). I am more interested in embedding Lua, but other people have other embeddings they want to make. I am wondering how you ask for permission, and what they mean by the terms "minor features" and "consistent" and how will Apple interpret this section? It seems to have enough loopholes to drive a real firetruck through. (BTW this is a terribly important question for me an my product.)

  • Pasting non-text data into browser-based apps

    - by John
    Imagine I want a user to be able to copy-paste a selection of pixels from MSPaint into a browser-based app. Is this possible using JavaScript in any current browsers? Will it become possible in HTML5? If not, is it feasible using something like Flex/Silverlight, or is it simply not possible at this time, and you'd have to save a file and manually upload it?
