My general rule is that I avoid too much personal stuff here. I have other venues for those interested in that kind of thing, but it would be remiss of me if I did not take the time to wish a merry Christmas to those that read this blog. I truly hope your Christmas season was (and continues to be) a happy one, spent with family and friends. More importantly than that, though, I sincerely hope each of you will take a good, honest look at the historical reason for Christmas. Beyond the gifts and meals and parties, Christmas celebrates the birth of a Child, Jesus of Nazareth, the Savior of the world. My hope and prayer is that you will find, if you have not already, the Light of Christ, as I did so many years ago.

Thanks for indulging me this personal note, and here’s hoping for a great and exciting 2007!

At work, we have run into two issues several times: 1) We haves app that create PDFs, and we need our JSF apps to send that to the user, and 2) we need to be able to upload multiple files to one of our JSF apps. The solutions we’ve used have been less than exciting. For the first problem, we’d make the backing bean that coordinates the PDF creation (calling the service layer, basically) session-scoped, then have a hidden iframe on the result page whose source is a JSP that pulls the bean out the session (via Java code!) and sends the PDF to the browser in such a way that forces the user to save the file. For the upload issue, we’ve been using JUpload, which works fine, but, since it lives outside the JSF lifecycle, we have to do some interesting things to make it work. Luckily, my boss gave me time to create better solutions, resulting in the components and . (more…)
