An in depth discussion of JavaScript Arrays:
"An in depth discussion of JavaScript Arrays
This series of articles mainly concentrates on working with JavaScript arrays. We shall start with the basics of JavaScript arrays and finally conclude with complex object based arrays in JavaScript. You can reuse these scripts to inject into server side controls easily (especially in .NET and Java).
All of the examples in this series can be directly tested, by simply copying and pasting the entire code (of each section) into any text file with the extension .HTM and opening it by using a browser."

overview_developing_olap_objects: "Developing OLAP Objects
Overview
JDeveloper provides wizards that help users create OLAP objects, including crosstabs, tables, graphs, calculations, and queries. The definitions of these OLAP objects are stored in XML files that can be copied to the BI Beans Catalog. End users can then access these objects in the Catalog through a BI Beans application. This tutorial guides you through the process of setting up a BI Beans project, creating OLAP objects, and copying OLAP objects to the BI Beans Catalog. You will use these objects in the subsequent tutorials."

Stripes - Home
Stripes - Home: "Stripes is a presentation framework for building web applications using the latest Java technologies. The main driver behind Stripes is that web application development in Java is just too much work! It seems like every existing framework requires gobs of configuration. Struts is pretty feature-light and has some serious architectural issues. Others, like WebWork 2 and Spring-MVC are much better, but still require a lot of configuration, and seem to require you to learn a whole new language just to get started."
Zero external configuration per page/action (ActionBeans are auto-discovered, and configured using annotations)
Powerful binding engine that will build complex object webs out of the request parameters
Easy to use (and localized) validation and type conversion system
Localization system that works even when you use direct JSP->JSP links
Ability to re-use ActionBeans as view helpers
Ridiculously easy to use indexed property support
Built in support for multiple events per form
Transparent file upload capabilities
Support for incremental development (e.g. you can build and test your JSP before even thinking about your ActionBean)
And a lot of built in flexibility that you only have to be aware of when you need to use it

GregZ Weblog
GregZ Weblog: "GoogleSearch Portlet
The new tutorial, 'Building a GoogleSearch Web Service Portlet', outlines how to use the Google Search web service bundled with Java Studio Creator. For simplicity, the tutorial focuses on using the doSpellingSuggestion method to return a spelling suggestion for the input text using the Google Search API. This example can be expanded to use the more popular search feature of the Google APIs (doSearch).
The PortletPage1 can be re-used for the most part. Change the button to say 'Search'. Change session property to 'query'. Instead of calling the web service on page 1 and binding the result to the session bean, we will bind the query request that is input into the text field and pass it to page 2. On page 2 in init, we call doGoogleSearch, passing your Google license key and the query string from page 1. We can populate an 'Object Array Data Provider' with the array of results the method returns. For instance,"

Summary:
These days, most companies across all industries use relational databases or RDBMS (Relational Databases Management Systems) to store and manage their critical business information. In fact, the three most important relational databases vendors happen to be the three most important software companies of the world: Oracle, IBM (DB2), and Microsoft (SQL Server). In parallel, over the last four years, XML has become the undisputable standard both for data exchange and content management. As a consequence, many thousands of database and application developers are now facing the development challenge of converting XML data to a relational format."

Apache Lucene - Query Parser Syntax - Apache Lucene
Apache Lucene - Query Parser Syntax - Apache Lucene: "Although Lucene provides the ability to create your own queries through its API, it also provides a rich query language through the Query Parser.
This page provides syntax of Lucene's Query Parser, a lexer which interprets a string into a Lucene Query using JavaCC.
Before choosing to use the provided Query Parser, please consider the following:
1. If you are programmatically generating a query string and then parsing it with the query parser then you should seriously consider building your queries directly with the query API. In other words, the query parser is designed for human-entered text, not for program-generated text.
2. Untokenized fields are best added directly to queries, and not through the query parser. If a field's values are generated programmatically by the application, then so should query clauses for this field. An analyzer, which the query parser uses, is designed to convert human-entered text to terms. Program-generated values, like dates, keywords, etc., should be consistently program-generated.
3. In a query form, fields which are general text should use the query parser. All others, such as date ranges, keywords, etc. are better added directly through the query API. A field with a limit set of values, that can be specified with a pull-down menu should not be added to a query string which is subsequently parsed, but rather added as a TermQuery clause."

Dojo - DojoToolkit.org
Dojo - DojoToolkit.org: "What is Dojo?
Dojo is the Open Source JavaScript toolkit that helps you build serious applications in less time. It fills in the gaps where JavaScript and browsers don't go quite far enough, and gives you powerful, portable, lightweight, and tested tools for constructing dynamic interfaces. Dojo lets you prototype interactive widgets quickly, animate transitions, and build Ajax requests with the most powerful and easiest to use abstractions available. These capabilities are built on top of a lightweight packaging system, so you never have to figure out which order to request script files in again. Dojo's package system and optional build tools help you develop quickly and optimize transparently.
Dojo also packs an easy to use widget system. From prototype to deployment, Dojo widgets are HTML and CSS all the way. Best of all, since Dojo is portable JavaScript to the core, your widgets can be portable between HTML, SVG, and whatever else comes down the pike. The web is changing, and Dojo can help you stay ahead.
Dojo makes professional web development better, easier, and faster. In that order."
