Generally it's easy to open a file inside a folder. But when it comes to a web application (.war) file, the common method does not cater for all the server versions. Using a classloader is the easiest way.

While working on our current project I decided to implement, for the initial SQL import, the db:bootstrap task from technoweenie forum but I found some problems due to this fact: The data is imported ordered by the name of the tables. This means that if you have a table named ���accounts��� and a table named ���users��� accounts data will be...

ColourCode is a syntax highlighter. It can read in a source file and generate a syntax highlighted version in various formats. Nikhil, the author, is a 16 year old programmer from Mumbai, India. He is fanatic of open source and wants to keep learning. He is currently studying in 12th grade. - definitely needs all the encouragement.

A while ago I blogged about a pattern useful to ensure that just a single instance of a class was created and used during a unique request-response pair. That seemed to make sense, since using the HttpContext.Items property prevents a single pipeline from instantiating that class more than once. At the time I didn't realize that actually one...

I'm sure you've tried all the techniques, from making the calls in separate threads to wrapping them in classes that fire events when the call is complete. All the techniques I've seen use some combination of events, threads and state machine approaches, but all this leads to code that is much more complicated that it need be. Fundamentally,...
