That question came up, so I tried it. Creator applications work mostly with Resin 3.0.15. I filed one problem for Resin (RSN-512). But that is easily worked around with a little index.jsp file in the applications root diretory. That index.jsp should just do the forward to the real JSF start page. So you have two… Read More »
I found a post on the Creator forum asking how to integrate a embedded Windows Media Player into a Creator project. So I thought, that would be a good time to try and write some custom components. You could add some elements as static HTML but then the JSF framework would not know anything about… Read More »
but I was bussy with a couple of bug fixes for our upcoming release. I hope I’ll find a bit more time now that most of the issues are resolved. BTW: Did you see that we released an EA2? Thanks, — Marco
And this time I don’t mean Sun Microsystems. Our photovoltaic system was finally completed today! It was a long wait. While browsing the news stands at our local book store in March, I came across a magazine called Home Power. It looked interesting and since I try to think about our environment once in a… Read More »
We found out that the Sun Java Enterprise System WebServer 6.1 has a upload limit of 10 MByte for web applications. Apparently we were very close to that limit for some time without knowing about it. But when you add a WebService or EJB client to a Creator application, all the support jar files will… Read More »
Not too much;-) At least not much the average user will see. We added Remote Deployment support for the Sun Java System Portal Server 6.3 on top of the Application Server 8.1. If you happen to want to play with that on Solaris or Linux. Remote deployment is not really a good description, because the… Read More »
Creator uses a lot of features in the JDBC 3.0 specification to create a good design time experience. For instance it uses table metadata to prepopulate the columns in the table component. But not all JDBC drivers support everything we would need and especially the Oracle JDBC drivers don’t give us the metadata when we… Read More »
This came up in the forum over the last week. The easiest way to get access to native code from a Creator application is when that code can be handled as a global resource similar to a JDBC driver jar. I created a little test case today (on Linux) and that seemed to work after… Read More »
Ok, first off: We don’t claim to support FC4 but since Creator and it’s components are mostly Java, it should still work, right? 😉 I don’t know if my SuSE Linux systems are officially supported either. But I know that people try different flavors of Linux until they find one they like. So why not… Read More »
Why do we need another blog? I don’t know. I prefer not to repeat stuff said somewhere else before. But I answer questions in different places and for different people all day long. And often I come across the same or similar problems over and over again. I hope this blog can serve me as… Read More »
