Am I working too late or does JSF allow a WebWork style Action? According to this post, you can have your properties and your logic in the same class (like WebWork). Also, no more worrying about BeanUtils.copyProperties()?
Struts encourages you to use Strings for field values that might
need conversion, in order to redisplay correctly in case of conversion
errors. You don't need to worry about that with JavaServer Faces,
because the redisplay is handled by the components themselves. You
will generally use the native data types for your field properties.
Regardless of what the WW Developers say, I think I'm gonna dig Java Server Faces.
In an attempt to get rid of Microsoft (believe me, I've tried everything), I installed OS X on my iPod this morning, and now I'm trying too boot from it. According to this article, all I need to do it hold down "T" when booting. I tried this and I get a blue screen with a firewire icon jumping around - and that's it, it just stays there, as if it's hung. Do I need to format my iPod before installing OS X on it?
I priced my ideal 15" and 17" laptops this morning. 15"/1GB RAM/5400 RPM/Extra Battery/AppleCare is $3,702.00, 17" version of the same is $4,002.00. Not much of a difference for a couple more inches on the screen. Is this the only difference between the two - or does the 15" have Aluminum and the 17" is the same as my old 15"/667 PowerBook?
Boy is it tempting to get one, but I can't seem to justify it. The only thing I can come up with is that I really *want* one, no need though. The mind wants, the pocketbook doesn't.
Anyone know when they'll be available in the Retail Stores - I'd love to take one for a test drive.
