My dad has an issue that maybe y'all can help with. He needs a class or library that can read from ports, addresses, and a "frame" (including the header). I asked him what he meant my all this, and here's what he wrote back.
In Pascal it would be a Procedure that reads a location. The location being an address or a hardware port like an RS-232 port, as opposed to a socket or Port 80 for HTML.
Ethernet transfers data in Packets or Frames and you can limit the size of the frame (fragment for optimal efficency); although, Ethernet (802.3) including 802.11x have a maximum size packet (Frame). The nomenclature changes according to the OSI Model Layer you're reading from.
Any ideas?
I uploaded a new demo of the tabbed menu system. This one uses url-matching to determine which menu to activate. If it finds more than one menu item (that matches the current URL), it falls back on a cookie that is set when you click on a link. Seems to work pretty well. Better than the last demo which didn't support clicking the "back" button.
And for you struts-menu users, this menu is soon to be available as a Displayer. I haven't checked it into CVS yet, but here's a working demo. Hope you enjoy! Let me know if you find any bugs.
Update: I checked everything into CVS and also added support for Struts' forwards in menu-config.xml. So now there are three choices when defining a URL for a menu/item:
- location: uses the exact value you specify.
- page: pre-pends the contextPath to the value you specify.
- forward: looks up the path of the forward in struts-config.xml.
You can download the latest struts-menu.war if you want these features right away.
James Holmes has put together an impressive list of JSF resources. Very cool - thanks James! Now the question is, when do you start developing your apps in JSF vs. JSP? When do you start developing your apps in JSP 2.0? Obviously, when the J2EE 1.4 spec if finalized and Tomcat 5 comes out - right?! Well then, giddyup - I'm ready!!
I just downloaded and installed Mozilla Firebird 0.6 and I must say - it rocks! With the Luna Blue theme and the startup time enhancement, this browser is awesome. On my 2 GHz/512 MB Windows 2000 box, it's still a fraction slower than IE to open (.75 seconds vs. .5 seconds), but it's soooooo much better than IE, that I doubt I'll notice the difference. Very cool Team Mozilla - you rock!
