Error creating bean with name 'tilesConfigurer'

While building a skeleton web app, using Spring and Tiles, I encountered this strange error. I am trying to configure Spring 2.5.6 and Tiles 2.2.1

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'tilesConfigurer' defined i
n ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is
 java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Class org.apache.tiles.web.util.ServletContextAdapter not recognized a TilesApplicationContext

Apparently, There is a compatibility bug in Spring 2.5.6. The Tileconfigurer is not really usable if it put Tiles 2.1 or above. So I have to go back to 2.0.7. The only other solution (read hack) is to patch an implementation of SpringTilesConfigurer. Also, (Apparently), Spring somehow decided NOT to fix this into 2.5.6, releasing it only to 3.0. This is driving me (and others) crazy. So do I wait for 3.0? I have been given instructions not to. So I will have to stick with Tiles 2.0.7

Decorator for Memcache Get/Set in python

I have suggested some time back that you could modularize and stitch together fragments of js and css to spit out in one HTTP connection. That makes the page load faster. I also indicated that there ways to tune them by adding cache-control headers. On the server-side however, you could have a memcache layer on the stitching operation. This saves a lot of Resources (CPU) on your server. I will demonstrate this using a python script I use currently on my site to generate the combined js and css fragments. So My stitching method is like this @memize(region="jscss") def joinAndPut(files, ext): res = files.split("/") o = StringIO.StringIO() for f in res: writeFileTo(o, ext + "/" + f + "." + ext) #writes file out ret = o.getvalue() o.close() return ret; The method joinAndPut is * decorated * by memize. What this means is, all calls to joinAndPut are now wrapped (at runtime) with the logic in memize. All you wa

One page Stock

Alright.. That was a long absence. The whole last week I dint blog. I dint go away. I was "occupied". I was learning stock trading. Its very fascinating. I have a good weeeked blog for you all. Here is my experience. I can literally hyper-link every word from the following paragraphs, but I am writing it as simple as I can so you can look up the italicised words in wikipedia . I got a paper trading account from a brokerage firm . You need one brokerage account first. Then it can be an Equity account where all your money is yours or a Margin account , where some of the money is lent by the brokerage firm. Then I get Buying power , which is the dollor value of how much stocks you can buy. I can make profit by simple rules. Buy when Price is low. Sell when price is high. There is another more intersting way of earning money. Selling short . Thats when price is not high, per say, but when are confident that the price WILL go down. then buy back when its lowest. This is what
