Equinox on Resin 3.0.14 Yesterday I moved demo.raibledesigns.com from Kattare to Contegix. The main reason I moved is because Contegix is much more responsive when I have issues, as well as Kattare's server was incredibly slow to startup Tomcat. The move went pretty smoothly, but I did run into a couple issues - caused by moving from Tomcat 5.0.28 to Resin 3.0.14. The issues were only in one application - the MyFaces version of Equinox.

The first issue was that the corejsf-validator.jar that I'm using (for client-side validation) contained an invalid TLD file. It was easy enough to fix as it was missing a <short-name> element. This is the 2nd issue I've found with this library - obtained from David Geary's Core JSF book. The first issue is that Spring's Ant-style patch matching doesn't work when this JAR is in the classpath. Anyone out there using a better (less buggy) library for client-side validation in JSF?

The 2nd issue was that MyFaces depends on commons-el.jar, which is shipped with Tomcat. Not so with Resin. Adding this JAR to my WEB-INF/lib directory solved the problem. I've committed both changes to CVS.

Below is a full listing of the sample apps I have installed on this server. The one app that I didn't move is Struts Resume. I'll be moving that one to appfuse.org today.

I'm open to adding more, so let me know if you have one you'd like hosted. Of course, I reserve the right to refuse suggestions based on my interest in the functionality they're demonstrating. ;-) Posted in Java at Aug 16 2005, 08:50:27 AM MDT 4 Comments

a bit off. Have you ever made some stress test on the different version of equinox? would be quite interesting to see the difference.

No, I have not done any stress testing, but I agree it would be an interesting set of performance tests - especially since there's 5 persistence and 5 web frameworks to choose from (+ 3 view options for Spring MVC) . It would be interesting to see which combinations proved to be fastest.

Hi, Only a simple question. What package do you use to export information to PDF?
Thanks,
Campos

Rui - the export to PDF is a feature of the Display Tag.
