I've been wanting to program for the Plan 9 operating system for a while. I'd really like to play around with a web app there. Of course, the only language I know for Plan 9 is C, and that doesn't seem ideal for web development. I also understand that it doesn't run apache or mysql either. What is the best way to start coding web apps o...
I am looking for a good way to consistently test my web applications from the end users point of view. I have all kinds of ways to check to make sure my code is working behind the scenes. I can't count the number of times that I make a change to a piece of code, test it and it works fine and then deploy it only to have it blow up somewhe...
We require all requests for downloads to have a valid login (non-http) and we generate transaction tickets for each download. If you were to go to one of the download links and attempt to "replay" the transaction, we use HTTP codes to forward you to get a new transaction ticket. This works fine for a majority of users. There's a small su...
How can I allow others to create Java, .NET, Ruby, PHP, Perl web user interface components that interact with each other? For example, one web ui component written in .NET selects a customer, and the other web user interface components are written in Java, Ruby or PHP are able to refresh showing information about the selected customer f...
Sorry if the title is misleading! Take 3 web dev languages php, java and .net. When will you choose php or java or .net for a project? Forget the cost factor! Does it depend on the complexity or does it depend on security or does it depend on the development process?? Do you have any set of questions or guidelines which you cross che...
Sometimes it might be useful, but mostly just looking cool or impressive to visualize log files (anything from http requests and to bandwith usage to cups of coffee drunk per day). I know about Visitorville which I think look a bit silly, and then there's gltail. How do you "visualize" your log files in realtime? ...
I'm building a java/spring application, and i may need to incorporate a stateful web service call. Any opinions if i should totally run away from a statefull services call, or it can be done and is enterprise ready? ...
I am working on a client proposal and they will need to upgrade their network infrastructure to support hosting an ASP.NET application. Essentially, I need to estimate peak usage for a system with a known quantity of users (currently 250). A simple answer like "you'll need a dedicated T1 line" would probably suffice, but I'd like to have...

I am developing a web app that will be hit frequently by mobile browsers. I am wondering if there is a way to get enough information from the browser request to lookup position data (triangulation or GPS) Not from the request directly, of course. A colleague suggested there some carriers supply a unique identifier in the request header t...
I want to view, in any format, how the PageRank for a particular URL or domain name has changed over time. Some tools can provide this information from the first time someone manually submitted a request for that site. I would prefer a solution where monitoring of a site is not triggered by a human-made request. ...
Hi all, I just wanted some opinions from people that have run Selenium (http://selenium.openqa.org) I have had a lot of experience with WaTiN and even wrote a recording suite for it. I had it producing some well structured code but being only maintained by me it seems my company all but abandoned it. If you have run selenium have you ha...
Hi, How could I get the Fault Detail sent by a SoapFaultClientException ? I use a WebServiceTemplate as shown below : WebServiceTemplate ws = new WebServiceTemplate(); ws.setMarshaller(client.getMarshaller()); ws.setUnmarshaller(client.getUnMarshaller()); try { MyResponse resp = (MyResponse) = ws.marshalSendAndReceive(WS_URI, req);...
Why does the javascript function encodeURIComponent encode spaces to the hex unicode value %20 insteady of +. Should uri parameters not spaces to +? ...
I decided to try http://www.screwturn.eu/ wiki as a code snippet storage utility. So far I am very impressed, but what irkes me is that when I copy paste my code that I want to save, '<'s and '[' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_encodings_in_HTML#Character_references) invariably screw up the output as the wiki interprets them as e...
Speaking entirely in technology-free terms, what is the best way to make a mobile friendly site? That is, I want to make a site that will work on a regular computer but also have mobile versions of the pages. Should I rewrite each page? The pages will probably have different functionality, so should I rewrite the backend code? Should...
My particular use case is using the wsimport goal (which basically maps to the jaxws wsimport.sh tool) to generate java code from wsdl. Looking for ideas on how others have integrated this goal into their development cycle. ie. do you generate all the interfaces only once and check it in. Where do you store the actual wsdl and any xsd...

Working on a new back end system for my company, and one of their requests is for a window to become locked down and for the user to be sent to the login screen if they leave it idle for to long. I figure I'd do this with JavaScript by attaching listeners to clicks, mouse moves and keyups but I worry about messing with other scripts. A...
