Keep your eyes open for XSL-FO

What happened yesterday was funny, I forgot to switch the electric on my name after the move and LIPA disconnected my power. Having realised that only in the evening, I call them up. I spoke to the manager only to get a negative response. So they need at least 24 hrs for reconnection. I hope I will it today by the time I reached home.

Coming back to technology, After some research on multi-cores and java language features, I took a shift to work on some XSLT and XSL-FO. While I have extensive work on XSLT, I am just getting my feet warm on XSL-FO. In my research I found a Nice tutorial here.

While I get a feeling FO is not yet a big time standard, but the paradigm, itself should take it to become one. Having one XML to generate different file formats is very effective. Keep your eyes open for XSL-FO.

Being a Vegetarian

I am a Proud Vegetarian. I don't eat Meat or Eggs. People say its hard here in US to be one. I beg to differ. The mere fact that I am hail and healthy these 4 years is a definitive proof. Apart from being bullied and trash talked by The Meat-Eaters, There is really nothing that makes this choice of mine any more than a debatable issue at a lunch or dinner. Other things aside, I am writing this blog having watched a PETA Video. Before you click on the play button, I ask you - If you are a vegetarian : Dont watch it. If you are not : Dare to watch it till the end. If you think going veg is just a fashion, think again . Even if you just want to do it for Fashion . Do it. Go Vegetarian. And Feel better asking the waiter for a Vegetarian Entrée in your next lunch.

classpath*: making your Modular Spring Resources

Spring gives multiple options to load XML resources for building contexts. the reference documentation does explain this feature quite well. However, I am taking my shot at explaining the different practical scenarios ( by order of growing modularisation) For Example, A simplest Spring based web Context Loader can be configured with resources like this <context-param> <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name> <param-value>applicationContext.xml</param-value> </context-param> <listener> <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class> </listener> You just need to put applicationContext.xml in WEB-INF/ folder of your webapp. However, Typically an application is n-tiered. You can also have multiple files setup and in relative paths. like <param-value> context-files/applicationContext.xml context-files/dao.xml context-files/service.xml </param-value>
