I no longer program in Spring but IIRC, `id` names in Spring follow the Java variable naming conventions and hence ids can't be just numbers (which is what the exception message is trying to convey here). Change `id="1"` to `id="one"` and see how it goes.

This news is a great step ahead I think. I'll take a look at this API when I reach home. In the meantime: > Not right now. (Gosh, should I say that in public?) You can implement a rate-limiting feature similar to something used by Github I think. Each user …

A few more if you are game: * Use camel casing when naming methods/classes/variables etc. as opposed to snake case (e.g. MP3Player as opposed to MP3_Player) * Don't blindly provide getters and setters for every field in your class. For e.g. you already have `addSong` and `removeSong` methods in your …

A bit late to the party but... > so i thought id ask if there are other people who love cartoons/anime too? Yup, I'm an avid anime viewer with around 150 days of anime viewing time, which IMO is quite a significant number (maybe pales in comparison to deceptikun's?). If …

Howdy folks, Apologies for posting this a bit late than usual; normally I post this thread a few days before a new season starts so this technically isn't a preview, but oh well. Anyways, the chart showing the different anime which airs this season can be found at [Neregate](http://i7.minus.com/izBFCsZnDqjZE.jpg). Unfortunately, …

I don't know *how* to do this but I can help you out with the *where* to look question. You need to look into the concept of CID's also known as content ids. Basically, you create a multipart message and assign a content ID to the image attachment/data which will …

You need to be either a sponsor, team colleague or part of the Daniweb team to be able to set custom titles.

`StoreReporter.class.getResourceAsStream` doesn't do what you expect it to do. It tries to load a resource and return the corresponding stream relative to the class. Replace it with a `new File(yourpath)` and let us know how it goes.

A common solution to this problem is to pass around the array size along with the array. That way, it would work for all types of arrays, not just C style strings (char arrays with terminating null character). [code=c] void doSomething(int* arr, int size) { //get ready to add some …

That's a pretty strange binary tree. Normally, insertion criteria is based on the "value" attribute of each node which helps you determine where to insert a node into a tree and at the same time, how to "search" for a node inside the given tree. With the number of nodes …

The specification explicitly talks about little endian data and `NUL` (`\0`) terminated strings (like C programming language). You are better off using `FileInputStream` which reads raw bytes and handle them explicitly in your application. Java uses big endian so default method calls (`readInt` etc.) won't get you anywhere.

That's a good question! JUnit and Servlets (basically your web apps) are *frameworks*. What a framework does is it runs the code you write which adheres to some common guidelines (e.g. in the case of a JUnit test, you either extend the class with some JUnit class or decorate the …

Looks good though there is a small issue. Normally the factory method/classes used for the flyweight pattern have the same signature as the constructor of the object which you want to cache. Your solution looks more like a static cache since there is no capability of creating new chemicals on …

It's OK as long as you are consistent within a given code base though generally *not recommended* if it is meant to be consumed (used and read) by a wider audience (i.e. other Java developers). Also, in your case, you are better off with naming the variable as `dead` and …

It isn't really that complicated IMO; just use [jLine](http://jline.sourceforge.net/downloads.html); it works out of the box on Windows (and I believe *nix too) Try out this simple snippet after adding the JAR to classpath: public class Test { public static void main(final String[] args) throws Exception { ConsoleReader reader = new …

Harinath, though I can see that your intention was to "lighten" up the Java forum with your humour, this really isn't the best place for it; next time for programming related humour try the Geek's Lounge. Also, let's refrain from personal attacks here. I'm closing this thread now.

> Please provide me the solutions to bundle jre inside jar and how to run a jar? Without unpacking the zip file and setting the appropriate paths? I doubt. There is a free tool called [launch4j ](http://launch4j.sourceforge.net/)which supports creation of launchers for JAR files and embedding a JRE (as mentioned …

I was faced with a similar situation in the past and decided to adopt a completely different approach. Since you really don't care about the key, I'm assuming this is some sort of a default case and no custom mapping has been added. In that case, something like this worked …

I think you can get the best of your endorsement system by looking at the endorsements of those who you think are trustworthy/endorseworthy since there is a high chance they will endorse folks with some merit. But I agree, it's more of a personalized benchmark; you might disagree with what …

Folks, let's not turn this thread into a warzone. I'll close the thread by saying this: IMO no one in this thread is copying other solutions or posting ready-to-use entire solutions; neither James nor IIM. I can't control personal opinions (manifested via means of up/down-votes) but let's just admit that …

> Moral of the story: Don't trust parseInt() to work the same in Firefox as it does in Chrome. I'm really interested now, details please. And while we are at it, were you passing in the second argument to `parseInt`? If not, bad Dani. :)

Consider using `enum`s for Suit and Rank instead of raw strings, much safer and saner approach IMO.

This normally happens when the download is incomplete. Can you check the size of the file on your HDD and compare it with the expected size? Also, try using a download manager like Flashget if the browser download manager isn't working out for you.

I agree with AD here. Plus, since Markdown (the markup format used by this site) doesn't support any of this natively, we'll have to hack up the Markdown specification to our custom needs. Doable, but not really favored since the target audience percentage is *very* small plus it requires maintaining …

The problem is with closing parentheses. Just escape the closing parentheses by leading it with backslash character and it should work out fine.

[without backslash] v/s http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Arrays.html#asList(T...\) [with backslash before the )] **EDIT**: It seems like there is a bug in the MD renderer.

Is the connection in [ICODE]autoCommit [/ICODE]mode? If not, then you need to explicitly commit the transaction. Check the return value of the [ICODE]executeUpdate[/ICODE]; is it 1? Does a standalone program which inserts some sample data in the table works?

There are some site wide issues going on (as already highlighted by other ongoing threads in the feedback forum). Hopefully it should be fixed in some time when Dani/Deceptikun are online.

A lot of Daniweb functionality like editing post for moderators, moving threads etc. doesn't seem to be working at the moment. I'll sure Dani/Deceptikun will look into it when they are online. Please bear with us. :)

Yup, things don't seem to be working as expected and this is happening to almost everyone. Hopefully Dani/Deceptikun should be able to solve these issues as soon as they are online. :)
