This article presents solutions for properly handling the logout problem along with sample programs. Author Kevin Le starts by describing an ideal password-protected Web application. He then uses sample programs to illustrate how the problems manifest themselves and discusses the solutions required to fix the problems. By centering the discussion on JavaServer Pages (JSP), the article presents the concepts that can be easily understood and adopted for other Web-tier technologies. Le concludes his discussion by showing how building Web applications with Jakarta Struts can more elegantly solve the logout problem. Sample programs for both JSP and Struts Web applications are included.

Multiple options are available for solving problems with Struts. When deciding among these alternatives, the choice must be based on parameters such as the scale of work and availability of time. However for large applications and the best quality-of-service needs, every decision becomes crucial and extra efforts are required to choose the appropriate solution. To help you make these decisions, Puneet Agarwal discusses some of the best practices for developing Struts-based applications.

The classic Chain of Responsibility (CoR) pattern requires the individual chain node classes to decide whether the next node should be called to fulfill the chain's responsibility. This is a design flaw because, in practice, such a call can be easily forgotten. In this article, CoR implementations of Microsoft Windows global hook and Java servlet filter framework are used as examples to demonstrate that flaw. A solution is proposed, and an action chain that allows multiple actions to handle an HTTP request in the Struts framework is discussed.

http://javaboutique.internet.com/tutorials/ApacheDAOs/ - Jun, 2004 - End-to-end internationalization of Web applications by Mike Gavaghan - [Clicks: 156]
You need more than just tools and supplies to build a house. Hammer and nails are indispensable, but, before you start hammering together boards, you need to know the house's electrical needs, plumbing placement, and appropriate building codes. Likewise, when building an internationalized Web application, you need to know more than simply what tools the JDK offers to support your efforts. Reader, Locale, and ResourceBundle classes are your tools, but you still must confront other complexities that will drive how you use those tools as you nail together your application. Internationalization and localization are about more than rendering pages in locale-specific languages. They're about building applications to be globally aware from the browser all the way through to the database. In this article, you look at where to address character encoding when building internationalized Web applications, how localization affects data format, and additional internationalization tools provided by Apache Struts. You also learn how to overcome gaps in the standards and in the Struts framework as well as what pitfalls you might face during implementation.
