My struts 1.2 validator framework tutorial in Netbeans 6

Hello friends, currently i'm working on a web-based project where we use Struts 1.2 validator framework.

I search for this topic but i couln't find a simple tutorial for client-side validations.

so i thought to post what i know on this...

i recommend u to practice Struts basics tutorial on before this Netbeans official site.

I know ALL my friends who visit this blog DONT interest about Struts.
So i dont post whole tutorial in here..
i post it in my Netbeans blog

here is your link to that tutorial!

Microsoft's Crazy Facts

friends, i got this from an email..
it was very interesting.. so i thought to post it for you all...

MAGIC #1
Nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere on the computer which can be named as "CON".
This is something pretty cool...and unbelievable. ..
At Microsoft the whole Team, couldn't answer why this happened!
TRY IT NOW, IT WILL NOT CREATE "CON" FOLDER

MAGIC #2
This is something pretty cool and neat...and unbelievable. ..
At Microsoft the whole Team, including Bill Gates, couldn't answer why this happened!
Try it out yourself...
Open Microsoft Word and type
=rand (200, 99)
And then press ENTER


MAGIC #3
For those of you using Windows, do the following:
1. Open an empty notepad file
2. Type "Bush hid the facts" (without the quotes)
3. Save it as whatever you want.
4. Close it, and re-open it.
Is it just a really weird bug?
You can try the same thing above with another sentence "this app can break"

Explanation for Magic #1:
In windows the folder name and the special system variables share the same interface, so when you create a folder with a system variable name it will consider that folder already exist!!
These special system variables are available irrespective of path
You cannot create a folder with these names also:
CON, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3,COM1 to COM9 and LPT1 to LPT9....
CON means console, COM1 means serial port 1, LPT1 means parallel port 1

Access Gmail offline !!!

oh guys as i promised here i explain another great feature in Gmail..

Lot of my friends use Gmail as their primary email address. This means that many will have critical mails stored in Gmail servers. but why they don’t realize is that Gmail is still in beta. Chances of permanently loosing your mails from Gmail server is very small, but you never know (especially since it is a beta)! So it is better to backup your Gmail mails somewhere.

To backup mails, you can enable auto forwarding in Gmail and then forward all the mails to an alternate account somewhere else (Yahoo, perhaps?). Now what will you do with your existing mails? Obviously forwarding all of them is going to be time consuming.

That is where POP3 support in Gmail comes for rescue. You can enable POP3 access on Gmail account and then download all your mails to a desktop email client (I use Outlook Express). You can then backup the mail file created on a CD.

Step 1 - Enable POP3 on Gmail

Step 2 - Configure your mail client to download from Gmail
Please see this comprehensive configuration settings tutorial from Google. Google has also provided an auto configuration tool for Outlook Express.

Following are the important details about Gmail POP3 access,

• username: [yourgmailid]@googlemail.com
• pop3 server: pop.googlemail.com
• smtp server: smtp.googlemail.com
• smtp port(SSL enabled): 465
• pop3 port(SSL enabled): 995

Organizing Multiple mail accounts with GMail

Organize multiple mail accounts with Google Mail Fetcher..



Gmail is one of the most popular email services out there. In a short time it has overthrown hotmail, yahoo etc.
Me,too now a Gmail lover though I use Yahoo... Why did this happen? Simple - Gmail is very user friendly and offers unmatched feature set.

Organizing mails with Gmail is easy. Google provides a couple of features for this.

1. Use filters/labels - I use filtering and labels to organize mails in virtual folders. This way I ensure that only critical mails end up in my inbox.

2. Use POP3 access - You can configure Outlook or other email clients by enabling POP3 access. This is useful when you need offline access to your mails.

3. Use Gmail Mail Fetcher - This is the most useful feature I found. Using this, you can aggregate mails from other sources such as your official mail. For this to work, your mail provider also must support POP3 access.

Gmail mail fetcher can be configured from Settings->Accounts->Get mail from other accounts. Following is a sample screenshot. You need to know the username, password and POP3 server address to configure your external account.

Please note that this is of no use with accounts such as Yahoo mail which doesn’t support POP3 access.
Soon i will explain more features in Gmail... Be Touch with Blog..

Tricks..Windows XP keyboard tricks to impress

Here are some Windows keyboard tricks you can use to impress your friends!
These are nothing but less known features of the Windows XP operating system. To revert back the screen to previous state, repeat the key combination again.

Trick 1 (High Contrast) - Hold Shift, Alt and Print Screen keys together. Click on “OK” when a message appears (this enables high contrast on Windows system). The screen should change to black!

Trick 2 (Magnifier) - Hold Windows key (logo key) and R key together. Type magnify in the run box and then press Enter. This enables magnifier tool and anything near the mouse trail will now appear magnified on top!

Trick 3 (Invert Windows screen) - This is one of the scariest tricks which turns Windows upside down. You can press Ctrl, Alt and then any of the four arrow keys (Ctrl-Alt-Down will rotate screen by 180 degrees)! I have noticed that this doesn’t work on certain Windows XP machines (It is dependent on video driver).

enjoy.........

some everybody knows shortcuts...

ALT+TAB - A shortcut eveyone knows. Switch between programs.

ALT+F4 - Close the current program or open window. (Use CTRL+F4 to close an open tab in a program)

ALT+ENTER - Display properties of the selected file or item.

Yahoo messenger - How to find if someone is really offline!

Yahoo messenger allows stealth mode using which you can set your online status as “offline” even when you are logged in to yahoo messenger. People use it to avoid chat when they are busy or to block out spam messages.

1. But there is a hack which allows you to see whether someone is really offline or not. The easiest way is to directly acess the online status image using the URL - http://opi.yahoo.com/online?u=userid&m=g&t=2 (replace userid with the actual user id).

2. The second way is to start a voice chat with the userid you want to check. If you don’t get an error it indicates that the user is indeed online, but in invisible mode. This works only in previous versions of Yahoo messenger.

3. The only method which seems to work on latest versions of Yahoo messenger is the IMEnviornment hack. First send a message to the user id and then immediately change the IMEnviorment. Now if the guy is really offline, you will get a message “waiting for your friend to load the theme” message. If he is online, you will just get a blank page!
