HowTo: Integrate Apache and Resin From a comment that an anonymous use left: Resin with Apache on Unix. I have used Tomcat for this site for over a year, and the last two projects I've worked on used Tomcat in production. However, James Duncan Davidson indicated that Tomcat was really never meant for production, and it never hurts to broaden one's horizons. I doubt I'll use Resin on this site, but I might recommend it to my next client (if I can get up to speed fast enough).

Why don't I just use Resin's built-in HTTP Server? Because I like Apache's virtual hosting feature and it's #1 for a reason, right? Posted in Java at Oct 15 2003, 10:17:10 PM MDT 1 Comment

512 MB is not enough for Java Development At least not on my PowerBook (1.33 GHz) - good thing another 512 is on the way!

JSP Navigation Systems As you might already know, I am a committer on the Struts Menu project at SourceForge. Struts Menu is basically just a JSP Tag Library that allows you to configure a navigation system for your webapp from an XML file. Here is a demo. Here are similar menu tag libraries I found:

I also remember seeing one on weblogs.java.net, but their search feature sucks and I can't seem to find it (could be operator error).

Please let me know of any others you know of - or menus you'd like to see incorporated into Struts Menu. The current CVS version (module == navigator) allows for specifying the Menu attributes in XML and the HTML for the menu using Velocity templates (as well as some built-in displayers). Personally, I'm thinking of adding a couple from WebFX: XTree and XMenu. With the new Velocity support, it should be simple to add these. If it's possible with HTML, JavaScript and CSS - it's possible with Struts Menu! Posted in Java at Oct 15 2003, 05:39:15 AM MDT 4 Comments
