here is a weird one... if view source stops working on Internet Explorer delete the offline content.

most places i work we develop on windows deploy on unix and one big problem is always file names are case sensitive on unix and not on windows.

windows shortcuts:
ctrl print screen - copies entire screen to copy buffer
alt print screen - copies current window to copy buffer

in jbuilder ctrl F6 is the file/tab navigation (ctrl tab in most windows apps)

jbuilder 6 compiles slowly due to the new dependency checker. to revert to the old one: add this to the jbuilder.config file:

vmparam -Duse.old.bmj

when writing financial applications use integer (non floats) for money fields or there will be rounding errors reference

i upgraded to jbuilder 6 enterprise hoping to use the clear case integration, but it doesn't support snapshot views. it supports only Base Clear Case with dynamic views only.

here are lists of the java/pdf libraries that i have investigated.

xmethods.net

here is a site that list free web services. xmethods.net. Oracle JDeveloper has a wizzard where you put in the url (uri?) and it gives you a list of all the available methods. then you are able to call those methods in your code like they were local methods and the wizzard has written code that takes care of all the underlying message and communications protocols (xml and http). It's similar to RMI or CORBA or any other remote procedure call.

next time i work on a big struts project make sure the business objects can be mapped into the struts components directly.
