Good morning, everyone. I'm currently working on a new web application and it's being developed using Oracle APEX. It's basically a ten page wizard-style web form that gets filled out and submitted. In nearly all cases, only three or four of these pages will be used and the other exist to present special-case information to the user. ...
I've built a web page using HTML and Javascript that acts like a desktop app. I'd like to distribute it to users in the methods they are most familiar with. For Windows users, I think this is an installable application or a "setup.exe" file. My app, however, works perfectly in the browser. Specifically it can be opened in a javascrip...
Im sending mails from a web application running on a glassfish server, which was quite easy with the java mail API. I'm starting now to attach files (mainly pdf and odt) to the mail, which works to, but the mime type of the attachment is not correctly set (application/octet-stream). I tried to attach the file with: MimeBodyPart mimeBod...
I currently have a Pylons application running with a basic user system set-up. I want to try and create a widget that shows the users that are currently logged on to the website. I'm not sure how I should handle this though; I'm not sure if pylons sessions being active are based on whether or not a user is actually on the web apps page o...
"roll your own recurring billing in your rails app with a cron job, a date field for when they are paid through, and amount each person is paying" I just saw this entry here in SO and wonder if Automated Recurring Billing is really automated. Do I have to create a script that checks if it is already the right time to bill someone, bill ...
I'm trying to build a form which generates itself as it is used. I have created a really simplistic example, loosely related to what I'm trying to do below, but which demonstrates the problem. The user types a word in the text box, clicks the Button and a new TextBox is loaded into a Panel, with the value in the original TextBox that t...
I'm in the middle of picking tools to load test my Ruby on Rails app. So far I'm trying out - apachebench autobench httperf selenium trample Is there anything else worth looking at? I don't have a ton of hardware, so efficiency is a concern. ...
I have 2 web sites (in Visual Studio - separate solutions) - one in VB.NET, one in C#. Ideally, I'd like to make them both web application projects, compile each codebase into to a DLL, drop both DLLs in the bin and drop both sets of .aspx pages under web root folder. So some aspx files would have Language="C#" and some Language="VB.NE...
Hello: I am getting ready to build a web application (app) and was interested in using DHTML and TCL. I have been building apps in TCL for awhile and feel pretty comfortable with using this language. I have experience using Visual Studio (VS) to write web apps where the server-side code is in C#. VS makes this incredibly simple and p...
I'm just starting out with Python and have practiced so far in the IDLE interface. Now I'd like to configure Python with MAMP so I can start creating really basic webapps — using Python inside HTML, or well, vice-versa. (I'm assuming HTML is allowed in Python, just like PHP? If not, are there any modules/template engines for that?) What...
Suppose you have a huge app with a data access layer bound to SQL You want to provide other non-sql DAL, for instance a GoogleAppEngine instance or XML-based backup. How would you approach this migration to a different storage paradigm but with limited flexibility, since it is legacy. I might be missing info here, but One solution I ha...

I am trying to model a web site project with UML. My question: in Use Case and Activity diagrams, should I model the login process (and if so, how)? Looking around, I didn't find a consistent answer to this question. Some people say we should no show the login as any part of the system, neither in Use Case nor in Activity diagrams; some ...
Hi, I am creating a web application, which is basically a very specialised CMS. It's written in PHP with Codeigniter (though the specifics are not important) and is structure according to the MVC pattern. Many entities in this webapp require the ability to have uploads, e.g pages, articles etc. I have an upload controller which works...
After reading about the differences between appSettings and applicationSettings in a web.config file, I'd rather use the applicationSettings section and benefit from the strongly typed settings. But with the appSettings section, you could previously have a separate section on a different file and simply reference it on the web.config us...
I've got the upcoming month of December off and with graduation and a job search looming, I've decided to work on some projects to show off my skills to potential employers. For every week in December I'm aiming to churn out a prototype, and so I'm looking for some tips for getting an idea up and running in a short time frame. I know t...
I need to add a functionality to my java-based web application that will allow users to click on a link and the application will automatically call the user and another party and connect them in a phone call. Does anybody know what would this entail? Thanks ...
I've got an iPhone web-app which I'd like to look as native as possible. I've used the scrolling trick to get rid of Safari's navigation, and taken away scrolling to prevent it from coming back; however, every time my app pulls an XHR, it shows the navigation again. Because users will need to use external links to get into the app, I c...
Hi all, I've made a little game as an application for the web in silverlight using C#, and I simply would like to save the top ten scores of any of the users that go on it. How can I write to a file and save it on my web hosting area? Is this possible? I think this would be the best way, because I only need to store a name and score (...
Hi, We are building a webapp which is shipped to several client as a debian package. Each client runs his own server. But the update and support is done by us. We make regular releases of the product, with a clean version number. Most of the users get an automatic update (by Puppet), some others don't. We want to keep a trace of the ve...
