[phpug] OT - JSP/Java enabled web server?

Hello. A piece software I am considering deploying requires a server that is "JSP/Java enabled". Can standard Apache 2.2.9 support this, be made to support this, or is a different incarnation of Apache required? Michael --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ NZ PHP Users Group

I don't think you can get Apache to run JSP pages, but you can use Apache Tomcat to serve JSP pages, and configure Apache to route JSP requests through to Tomcat. They're pretty much two separate beasts. Jevon On Tue, Oct 7, 2008 at 8:04 PM, Michael <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello. > > A pi

Hi, A couple of interesting snippets from an interesting interview (http://www.sitepoint.com/article/interview-doug-crockford/): Javascript's rushed birth: Kevin Yank: [It’s] continually surprising to me just how capable a language it is, given where it came from. I mean, one day in the 1990s

[phpug] Re: OT - Javascript's Rushed Birth + problematic history of CSS

Agreed, languages used in web development should come with a government health warning. Ever noticed that Opera seems to understand CSS better than most browsers? Could be related to the fact that their tech lead was one of the CSS originators. SQL is even worse, it was created as an IBM proof-o

[phpug] Re: Comet vs Ajax

Thanks for the info lenz. The chat system is up and running. It is only for members of a small website, so it is very very simple. At the moment running Ajax polling. I definitely will look at using ejabberd http bindings (may be if the website is getting more members). On Wed, Oct 8, 2008 at 8:4

[phpug] [OT] How are you going to set up IE6/7/8?

I used to use multiple IE's for 6/7, until I launched a site that I had only tested in the multiple IE-IE6. It turned out the site was fine in multiple IE, and broken in the real IE6, and I only found out after customer complaints. So then I used two hard drive partitions, with two XP's, which wa

[phpug] Re: [OT] any recommendation for a crash course in SEO

Hey Matt This is how I see it: Create original content (no repeats) drizzled in keywords that you would like to focus on (e.g. put them, in alts, titles, headings, URLs, paragraphs, links, etc...) and you can't go wrong. Next, make sure that your code validates (w3.org). Once you have done this,

MySQL won't be able to guess whether dates like 1-04-06 are 2001-06-04 or 2004-06-01 or ... This is pretty ugly, but to interpret that I believe you'll need to give MySQL a hand by telling it which bits go where. Something like, SELECT CONCAT('20',RIGHT(datestr,2),'-',LEFT(RIGHT(datestr,5),2),'-'
