cannot longer login into squirrelmail with chrome (solved)

In the last days I’m unable to login into my webmail client, which runs with squirrelmail on a gentoo box.

I have tried to check whats going wrong and googled a little bit around. I have inspect the cookies with chrome and saw, that a (in some posts mentioned) cookie named „key“ was never set.

After that, I have start to deactivate some of my chrome extensions and viola … login works again … the problematic extension I have found out was
„Simple Adblock“ which I have installed in the last weeks.

Now I’m using again „AdBlock Beta“ and added my webmail domain to the white list filter.

Everything fine again 🙂

Crunchy numbers

A helper monkey made this abstract painting, inspired by your stats.

The average container ship can carry about 4,500 containers. This blog was viewed about 24,000 times in 2010. If each view were a shipping container, your blog would have filled about 5 fully loaded ships.

In 2010, there were 6 new posts, growing the total archive of this blog to 28 posts.

The busiest day of the year was February 5th with 128 views. The most popular post that day was expanding richfaces tree on datamodel changes.

Where did they come from?

The top referring sites in 2010 were community.jboss.org, stackoverflow.com, ahoehma.wordpress.com, ocpsoft.com, and de.wordpress.com.

Some visitors came searching, mostly for valuebinding deprecated, div bottom, java copy stream, java stream copy, and createvaluebinding deprecated.

Reuse facelets xhtml files and taglibs from jar archives

I have asked myself, if it is possible to use facelets xhtml files and taglibs from a jar file instead from the whole web application.

The short anwser: Yes, it is possible 😉

The facelets documentation gives a hint how to use the tag lib from a jar file. But you cannot found in the documentation, if it is possible also to use a xhtml file (referenced from the taglib for example). Of course facelets uses the same approach to load xhtml files from a jar file as for the tag library.

Example:
The follow tag lib definition is placed in my JAR project under /META-INF/myProject.taglib.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE facelet-taglib PUBLIC
  "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Facelet Taglib 1.0//EN"
  "http://java.sun.com/dtd/facelet-taglib_1_0.dtd">

<facelet-taglib>

    <namespace>https://thomaswabner.wordpress.com/waffel</namespace>

    <tag>
        <tag-name>select</tag-name>
        <source>components/select.xhtml</source>
    </tag>

</facelet-taglib>

The select.xhtml file is placed in the same project under /META-INF/components/select.xhml and contains some facelets definitions (ui component with a selectbox fo example). The point is, that facelets searches the jar archive under the /META-INF directory for the xhtml file.

Now you can simple use the tag in you web application. You only need to include the jar file with the tag library and xhtml file in you web application classpath.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<jsp:root xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
          xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
          xmlns:waffel="https://thomaswabner.wordpress.com/waffel"
          version="2.0">
  <ui:component>
     <waffel:select/>
  </ui:component>
</jsp:root>

Update: See comments. I have created a small example.

Disable live site with apache rewrite rules

Any times I have to work on a live site like http://www.capella-fidicinia.de or http://www.cryo-tekk.de. All these sites are Joomla instances and Joomla doe’s not allow to disbale the site complete. You can only put the site „offline“ with a setting in the administration module. After putting such site into the offline mode, nobody can anymore change the content and the user got a inforation bar on the site.

But often I will change complete the layout (testing new skin, working on the existing skin and so on). But the user should not see my changes because it is very ugly if you browse to a side and with every click the layout changes.

My Joomla instances running behind a apache2 webserver as a virtual host. To put the site complete offline and inform the user about maintainance you can put the follow into you virtual host configuration:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^194.136.37.140$
RewriteRule .* /var/www/domains/www.cryo-tekk.de/htdocs/maintainance.html [L]

With such entry only the IP adress 194.136.37.140 can see the site. All other IP adresses, which try to access the site are foreward to the maintainance.html site.

For more information about rewrite rules you can have a look here.
