Eclipse - cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element error
2007-01-09 13:48:00
When working with XML files in Eclipse, a common error developers encounter is; cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element "some-element-name". The error message gives a clue on which file the error exists by pointing to the element name, but does not give any information on why this error is shown or how it could be fixed. Given error is generated if parser could not find any specification on the given elements when Eclipse tries to parse the XML file using Xerces XML parser. To over come the error, XML file must be provided with a specification (a schema file or a DTD file).Examples of such files may look like below.<!DOCTYPE mule-configuration PUBLIC "-//Comp //DTD configuration XML V1.0//EN" "http://www.comp.com/dtds/proj/project-co nfiguration.dtd">or <element xmlns="http://www.comp.com/schema/element " xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSche ma-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.comp.com/s chema/element http://www.comp.com/schema/element/elemen ts-...

Patent damages tripled in 2006
2007-01-04 05:32:00
Trend of Patent lawsuits are increasing drametically. According to sources, the total amount awarded in 2006 is $1 billion. Compared to $379 million which was awarded in 2005, this is almost a threefold increase.The top winner of the year was Rambus who won the case over Hynix Semiconductor with $307 million. Rambus has a ton of patents on their list.Even though there are pros/cons on having the patent concept, it seems companies are willing to goto courts to protect their technologies while few companies do it for the sake of grabbing some money from a company who misuses a technology or concept.

Margin Vs Padding - CSS Properties
2006-12-21 10:59:00
CSS provides two properties named margin and padding for keeping space between HTML Box type elements. But why do we have two properties for the same reason? Are they similar?No. They have a main difference.Padding - defines space between border and element content Margin - defines space between border and other outer elements(Look at the above diagram)So when elements needs space between them, better to use margins. When text or an inner element needs space between the parent box and itself go for paddings.Look at this example for visual clarification generated with this code.<div style="margin: 25px; background: #cccccc; border: #000000 2px dashed;">Text inside element</div><div style="padding: 25px; background: #cccccc; border: #000000 2px dashed;">Text inside element</div> Text inside elementText inside elementIn the first <div>, space is set between the border and outside elements but in the second one it is between the boder a...

Setting Java classpath option with spaces and quotes under Windows®
2006-12-19 04:53:00
Java provides two methods for setting paths of the classes.1. Set the command line option classpath2. Set the CLASSPATH environment variableThe second option is easy, but has a draw back as a common CLASSPATH is shared within all the projects and classes, which makes it harder to test different projects with different classes.So the first option is the prefered way. It is used as;java -classpath first.jar;second.jar TestClientWhen the paths to the jar files have spaces, the command line classpath option causes errors. Under Windows installation like 2000/NT/XP, all the users get a folder with the user name under a folder named "Documents and Settings" (which has a space). And if the jar files are under the user folder, path would look like "C:/Documents and Settings/someUser/.." which would cause the above error.How to over come this issue1. Put quotes and group the whole class pathjava -classpath "C:/Documents and Settings/user/project/lib/axis.jar; C:/Documents and Settings/user/p...

Do not complain on what you haven't got
2006-12-18 04:39:00
As human beings we always tend to complain on what we haven't got. Many people forget to appreciate the things that they have received; even they forget that they have so much to appreciate on their living status than looking at the negative sides.For example think how you feel when your (expensive) meals are little less tasty than how it used to be. You get so annoyed, right? Have a look at the images as they tell a lot on the above topic.See how much you are fortunate to have this type of a life (even having a chance to have access to computers to do internet surfing while some people do not have a chance to get a drop of water.(I have no idea on who is the owner of these images, but thanks for the nice images).

[JBoss] Logging JBoss CMP SQL
2006-10-09 07:25:00
In many occassions developers tend to get errors when calling the CMP finders. The best method to fix such issues is to view the generated SQL queries, as it's easy to understand the error in terms of general SQL rather than looking at the EJB-QLs.With the help of log4j, CMP generated SQLs can be logged into a file as follows.1. Goto the conf folder inside your server instance.2. Open the log4j.xml file and add the following two entries to it.<appender name="CMP" class="org.jboss.logging.appender.Rolling FileAppender"> <errorHandler class="org.jboss.logging.util.OnlyOnceErr orHandler"/> <param name="File" value="/log/cmpSQL.log"/> <param name="Append" value="false"/> <param name="MaxFileSize" value="800KB"/> <param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="1"/> <layout class="org.apache.log4j.xml.XMLLayout"/&g t; <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"> ; <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %-5p [%c] %m%n"/> ...

What is ACID?
2006-09-06 11:48:00
In database world, ACID is an acronym. It stands for; Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation and Durability. Databases should have these four features for them to become a reliable databases. All of these four features relate with transactions.Atomicity: A transaction has to be completely commited or roll-backed, a portion of the transaction should not be committed to the database due to any issue even on a hardware failure. Consistancy:After any transaction the data in the database should be correct and vailid according to the requirements. Database should not be having any illegal data after a transaction.Isolation:When two or more transactions exists, one's behaviour should not give invalid data for the other transaction. That is, when one transaction is in progress, the data alterations made by that transaction should not be visible to any other transactions. Durability:After the commit operation is aknowledged by the database, the data inside that transaction should not be lost. Th...

Anyway hearing that Dr. Lee is back on work is nice.Anyway in this case there are two sides as I feel. Microsoft has a right to say that Dr. Lee should not be using what he gained at Microsoft in a competing company like Google. In the other way if he is not using those, then it is ethical for him to work in a competing company.See also>>

By concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it

Offering his guests coffee, the lecturer went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups: porcelain, plastic, glass, some plain-looking and some expensive and exquisite, telling them to help themselves to hot coffee.When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the lecturer said: "If you noticed, all the nice-looking, expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the better cups and are eyeing each other's cups."
