Eclipse Tips

In few situations, you want eclipse to refresh the project contents automatically. Its might be required when you changed the one/more files of an eclipse project in some other editor and you wanted eclipse to reflect those changes automatically. If you are using version control and when you get latest changes from repository, you want those changes to be reflected on your eclipse. This can be configured in eclipse easily.
Go to Window –> Preferences, in this  window select General –> Workspace from the tree in the left panel. When you select Workspace, you’ll see workspace related configuration options in the right panel. The top section will have three checkboxes, one of them will "Refresh Automatically". Select this checkbox and click OK.
Another feature which could be handy is to see different Icons for different file types like Interfaces, Classes, Abstract Classes, etc. You can set this in Window –> Preferences window. In this window select General –> Appearance –> Label Decorations option. You’ll see a big list of options in the right panel. Select the check box for "Java Type Indicator".

Hosting Multiple Domains In Tomcat

Tomcat allows us to host multiple domains in one instance, using multiple ' Host ' tags. In this article I will explain how to do it on Tomcat. This is very simple configuration using ' Host ' tags in your server.xml . A novice can also understand this configuration very easily. Before going into the details of the configuration first lets have a look at the ' Host ' tag, ' Context ' tag and ' Alias ' tags first. <Host name="domain1" appBase="[application base]" autoDeploy="[true/false]" unpackWARs="[true/false]"> <Alias>...</Alias> <Context path="" docBase="" reloadable="[true/false]"/> </Host> First lets have a look at ' Alias ' tag.

File Uploading Using Servlets, JSP and Commons File Upload API

I tried to make the example as simple as possible, hope it helps those early birds. Example uses JSP to provide the pages with form where user can select the file to upload with other form fields, Commons File Upload API to process submitted form and read form fields separately, and Servlets as middle layer between JSP and Commons File Upload API, example also has ANT build script to generate the distributables. All the code can be downloaded, links to these resources are provided at the end of this post, lets get on with the example then. The flow in this example is as depicted in the following picture. As you can see, user selects the file to upload and provides normal form data as well, using "index.jsp" and submi
