Uh Oh - Mozilla 1.2 Not Good

From mozilla.org:

Stop The Presses We've discovered a bug in Mozilla 1.2 that can cause DHTML on some sites to fail. We plan to release Mozilla 1.2.1 with a fix shortly.

You gotta love 1) that they admit this, 2) that they notify us and 3) that they will fix it soon.

Tomcat 5 - Figured it out

Remember the Tomcat woes I was experiencing on Monday? Well, I think I've figured it out! It wasn't too hard, all I had to do was read the error message ...

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
    org.apache.webapp.admin.ApplicationServlet

... and go looking. Sure 'nough, this class is not there, nor are any of the other classes for the admin webapp! So I've logged the bug and now I wait. Maybe this is intentional, but I doubt it.

Later: The workaround I'm using is that there's a milestone build from October 14th that has the admin app intact and no errors on startup.

gunzip and tar

You *nix gurus probably have know this for a while, but I didn't. To gunzip and untar a *.tar.gz or *.tgz file with one command, try this:

gunzip -c ips6.0.tar.gz* | tar xvf -

It works on Solaris (9) and OS X (10.2.2 with gnutar), and therefore I assume it'll work on Linux. I learned that at the portal class I taught last week. Good stuff, committing to memory...

Help me rename struts-xdoclet

I've decided that I need a new name for struts-xdoclet. "Struts-XDoclet" is just too hard to say - try it, you'll see. Four syllables is just too many. Since I intend for it to be a Struts/XDoclet Jumpstart Kit, I'd like something that tries to signify that, but then again, I like POGN - Plain Old Good Names. SXJK is just as hard to say as Struts-XDoclet. I was thinking SASSY (Struts App Start ... nothing for S and Y) might be a good one - but doesn't really explain much. It'd be cool to name it Abbie, after my daughter, but I don't think sxd (hey, that might be a good one) will be that earth-shattering, and if I'm going to name something after Abbie - it better be good! I just asked Julie and her idea is to name it "struggle" - that's not bad. It eliminates the struggle in building a new webapp. Please comment your suggestions if you have an opinion.
