Up 
UPDATE: For a missing piece of code, please see this entry. In one of our applications at work, we needed to be able to deep link to certain pages to allow external applications to get at specific pieces of data, product and order information to be specific. Since JSF 1.x does not support HTTP GET [...]

MyEclipse and Glassfish
My shop has adopted MyEclipse as the standard development environment.

Today, I was on The Server Side (you do read TSS, right? ) and noticed that Struts [...]

JSF and File Downloads
At IEC, we have an application used to report inventory counts. Part of the app creates an Excel spreadsheet using POI. The user selects a batch from a select/combo, click on the button, and the server sends them a spreadsheet. The basic work flow is this:
