My account has it enable now and I look forward to tesing it out.

The few restrictions that exist do not really seem to matter. I haven’t seen a situation where it’d be ideal for a servlet to spawn a thread, though I’m sure someone could point out such a situation.

Later I’ll write more about my experiences with it.

jQuery and IE https://robertnieto.info/2009/03/jquery-and-ie/ https://robertnieto.info/2009/03/jquery-and-ie/#comments Mon, 30 Mar 2009 22:07:16 +0000 https://robertnieto.info/?p=29 Continue reading ]]> I’ve had an interest in testing out jQuery for some time now and this weekend I finally dived right in with a simple ajax example quiz service. The backend was quickly designed as a servlet outputing JSON, leaving me with the frontend to do in jQuery.

As I did the initial design in firefox everything went smoothly, until I tested in IE. The kanji (word) to quiz wouldn’t update on the page. A quick google later I learned IE often will cache the get request. The simple fix was to include the current time as the data in the get, and after that IE stopped caching the requests.

For now the site is very simple as I do not plan to update it, but I will use spring mvc to build the next version.

Java Spring https://robertnieto.info/2009/03/java-spring/ https://robertnieto.info/2009/03/java-spring/#comments Sun, 29 Mar 2009 16:32:12 +0000 https://robertnieto.info/?p=19 Continue reading ]]> I’ve started working with Spring, and to me the Inversion of Control via Dependency Injection really stands out as a nice design methodology. Of course this is a concept one can use in any software when required, even without Spring.

After reading about the foundation of Spring, I cannot wait to use it. I plan to discuss it more sufficiently as I gain more experience with it. I’d like to test out its web MVC module as soon as possible.
