Hi there! I want to disallow proxies and spambots from posting in my website. What is the best way to do so? I've downloaded a blacklist and my first idea was to disable each of ips in my .htaccess file, but after downloading the list, I found out that it contained almost 9 million entries. My other idea was to split each IP in 4 par...
Is it possible to share the App_Code directory and master pages with a nested application? I have a third-party newsletter application installed in my web app and I want it to share the same look and feel as the "parent" application. When I try, though, I get an error saying that the child application can't reference any of the exterio...
We currently have a asp.net website with some modules developed in VB.Net & some in C# (not just classes but also individual aspx pages and code behind). We figured we wanted to move to web application model as we need to implement CI with TFS. The problem : When we create a C# web application, copy the files from website & say convert...
Just looking at examples of connection pooling on the web, they all implement connection pooling on a per servlet basis. So each servlet has its own pool of database connections. My question is, why is that preferable to something like a global pool of db connections? Since a global pool is seems more efficient than a per servlet poo...
First, the set up: I have a script that executes several tasks after a user hits the "upload" button that sends the script the data it need.

Hi there, We develop a fair number of web-based applications, most of which are hosted on enterprise servers, and not accessible via the internet. We haven't yet adapted a standard template for our web apps, and we waste a lot of time doing design work when we release an app that is consumed via a browser. I say waste because most of o...
Hi, Do you know a technology which can provide me a portlet-like interface? But I do not want to use JSR 168/268 portlet specifications and a portlet container. The reason is: My web app is a product which can be installed on the client's server (it can be weblogic/websphere/tomcat). Packing the portlets container along with my applica...

Currently I am planning on having a page such as /utility/runJobs that will have a function in it that will test the whole site for dates meeting certain conditions etc.. I would then trigger this page from a serv...
All that I'm trying to do is deploy a simple web application-scoped feature that is activated automatically when you install it. Just to make sure that none of our corporate customizations were doing anything weird I even created a simple test web application feature and built it with WSP builder, but I still get the same results - the f...
I'm having an internal debate about where I should handle checking for changes to data and can't decide on the practice that makes the most sense: Handling IsChanged in the GUI - This requires persistence of data between page load and posting of data which is potentially a lot of bandwidth/page delivery overhead. This isn't so bad in ...

While this question has been asked in a variety of contexts before, I can't find any information pertaining specifically to sites targeting very large audiences - for example on the scale of hundreds of thousands or even millions of users. When writing sites that target smaller audiences (such as intranet hosted data driven sites that h...
