Hi,
Answers to questions:
1. You are right, we could have used JSP to do it. The reason we did not do
it wass because, the project was all ready to go when they decided to plug
in the new home page with random images. So the right decision at that
moment was to go ahead with that instead of adding more java code. Moreover
the home page does not really need the power of JSP to create random images.
So we did not bother about doing it with this release.
2. We dont do validations at client side, we have a bean which we call as
JSPForm which does all the tasks of validation, coloring the fields ,
redisplaying the enetered parameters etc. So we use that bean to handle
everything. That is why we dont use client side validations. Though the time
taken for validating the fields would be more than client side validations,
it is not that bad. On the contrary by having a bean which does all these
things has more advantages.
For example if we decide to add a REQUIRED field of type URL, the only
change we hav to change in the JSP files to automatically validate it is
<% form.setRequiredField("newFieldName", Validator.URL_REQUIRED); %>.
this lines tells the form bean that a field called newFieldName is of Type
URL and it is required. If the field is not required but still should be
checked if entered, then we use,
<% form.setRequiredField("newFieldName", Validator.URL); %>.
Probably you could not go through the signup form is because you are
entering wrong/invalid data in some field marked as *. If you enter a wrong
data like a wrong pin number (US Pin Number - 5 digits is a valid one), then
that field will get highlighted in Red. So check for the fields which are
highlighted in Red.
3.Well Every page is constructed in parts by different beans and then
combined to form an HTML page.
The left bar is constructed by a LeftBar Bean, The Right Bar by a separate
bean, Similary there is beans which contruct the Top Navigation.
Above all there is a pageTemplate bean which consist of the Header, Footer,
The Black Square Box and VARIABLES for inserting the above mentioned
navigations. These vaiables are replaced by the HTML parsers which we have
developed.
This is done mainly because if the client wants, he can very easily replace
the way the top navigations or the left navigation looks. Or he can also
change the way the Header and Footers look without having to change any code
in Java Files or JSP Files. All the templates for the navigation and headers
and footers are stored in one file with TAGNAMES. So he can just change that
file and see the effect immediatley. The beans use these tagnames, so he
should not be changing the tagnames or else the beans wont work.
I Hope I answered all you questions. feel free to write to me if you have

hi kishore ..
just following the list from last one month..
till now i havn't completed any real work on it.
sorry if something silly ..........
just curious!
1.when you have the power of jsp at server side ...
then why you prefered to generate the random images in home page from
javascripts..
2.i guess the best place where u should have used the javascript is at
client side
form validations.
(five times i have submitted the new user form but still not getting what is
the
error,it may be because i am filling dummy data,not keeping eye on pincode
validity etc)
2.in demo ,only the content in the white box is different then what is the
need to
have separete jsps for each page .
