[FRIDAY] YA Stuts In Action / JUnit in Action Trivia Quiz
Last time (which was some time ago), we asked contestants to identify the title and author of a seminal paper regarding artificial intelligence published by the journal MIND in 1950. Our bonus question regarding a tangentially related story by Harlan Ellison (gotta love Harlan).
As many already know, here are the correct answers
The paper was entitled "" and written by "". The Ellison story featured an AI computer named "AM" by the title "I have no mouth and I must scream".
Sadly, one contestant let the cat of the bag and posed the answers to the user list. But no worries, we'll just make it a drawing instead. So, that week's winner, selected from all the responses, is:
* MICHAEL MCGRADY
as our winning contestant. (Michael, please send your surface mail address to husted@apache.org, and indicate whether you would like JUnit in Action or Struts in Action)
----
NEXT:
A popular science fiction series featured a psy cop named after a science fiction author
1 Name the series
2 Name the character
3 Name the actor who played the character
4 Name the character this actor played in another famous science fiction series
*OR*, answer this bonus question instead:
* List the 12 core practices of Extreme Programming.
Contestants sending -- directly to me at husted@apache.org -- correct answers to the to the bonus question *OR* the SF question to me will be eligible for the next drawing. (the correct answers being the ones I expect). Prior winners excluded (but feel free to play anyway).
The contest will run until Thursday, January 8, 2004, 23:59:59, so everyone has a chance to participate.
The lucky winner selected from the correct responses will receive their choice of either a signed copy of Struts in Action *OR* JUnit in Action.
(Signed only by me, I'm afraid, my co-authors are scattered across the globe -- gotta love the Internet!)
PLEASE be sure to reply to husted@apache.org.
If you have an interesting science fiction or computer science question that is hard, or at least fun, to google, please send it to me. The first to suggest a question that we use also wins!
-Ted.

Calling CGI script
Posted by Alain Van Vyve <Al...@brussels.sema.slb.com>.
My application is using Struts in a Tomcat 4.1.29 environment.
I'm in a situation where an Action has to call a CGI script that will be
responsible to initiate a payment process (third party)
I have found the way how to modify my Tomcat environment ... that's not
the issue !
My problem is : How can I call a cgi script in my action ?
Thank's

RE: Paging for table...
Posted by David Friedman <hu...@ix.netcom.com>.
The site I gave you, www.displaytag.org (with source and binaries available
from SourceForge.net), lists plenty of examples and code. Basically, you
have a collection of objects (usually in request or session scope, but you
can do it in page scope) and set your tag with the columns. From their
"basic columns" example, if you have a List stored as "test", for each item
you can display the fields id, name, email, status, description using the
below code:
<display:table name="test">
<display:column property="id" />
<display:column property="name" />
<display:column property="email" />
<display:column property="status" />
<display:column property="description" />
</display:table>
Just keep in mind the binary updates a few jars to newer versions. Off the
top of my head, I think it updates (don't pay attention, I just code *grin*)
commons-lang, commons-beanutils, commons-logging, and commons-collections.
But don't worry, they are in the binary distribution's example .war
application and work fine with Struts v1.1 (probably with v1.0 as well).
Also, fancier things are available, such as sorting, grouping, and
downloading the fields as excel, csv, and xml.
Regards,
David

[FRIDAY] YA Stuts In Action / JUnit in Action Trivia Quiz
Posted by Ted Husted <hu...@apache.org>.
Last time, we asked contestants to recite the "jingle" from The Demolished Man by Alfred Bester and the "Fear" litany from Dune -OR- name two favorite changes, improvements, or new additions to theStruts Nightly Build since 1.1 was released (now known as Struts 1.2.0 <yeah! />).
The sought answers were:
Demolished Man:
"Tenser, said the Tensor. Tenser, said the Tensor. Tension, apprehension, and dissension have begun."
Dune:
"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
As to favorite changes, we had votes for
* Maven project files (still under development!)
* Tiles EL Tag Library
* Session-Scoped ActionMessages
* Struts-Chain (still unreleased)
Of coursem, we had several correct responses. The lucky winner, selected arbitrarily, is:
RANDY DILLON
(Randy, please send your surface mail address to husted@apache.org, and
indicate whether you would like JUnit in Action or Struts in Action)
----
NEXT:
To play, correctly answer -- *DIRECTLY* to me at HUSTED@APACHE.ORG -- one or both of these questions.
(1) One of the original creators of JUnit now works on a popular open source IDE (with some excellent Struts addins!). Name this computer scientist.
-OR-
(2) A SF author, best know for his "edgy" short stories, wrote one of the first Star Treck episodes dealing with time travel. Later, he served as the creative consultant for another popular TV series, in which time travel plays a pivotal role. Name this SF author and his single Star Trek episode.

And, the answer to any of the questions would be one or more of the active STRUTS Committers :)

Geography
Which Committers hail from Scotland?
Which Committers live in California?
Which Committers live in Georgia (US)?
Which Committers live in Washington state?

Which Committer has a birthday today (10 Apr)?
Which Committer has a son known to dabble in <gasp/> PHP?
Which Committer is a Van Morrison and C.S. Lewis fan?
Which Commiter likes to monkey around from down under?
Professional Life
Which Committers have published books about Struts?
Which Committers use IntelliJ?
Which Committer is still loving his emacs?
Which Committer is the least likely to use trailing-edge technology like
Servlet 2.2?
Which Committers have worked with WebWorks' Jason Carreira?
Which Committer didn't invent the cellular phone?
Which Committers are most likely to down a Guiness? -- No wait, another bad
question -- that would be all of them :)

To play, submit answers to THREE or more of the questions. Everyone
submitting a correct response to < HUSTED@APACHE.ORG > will be entered in
the drawing for an autographed copy of Struts in Action or JUnit in Action
(just by Ted I'm afraid). [Hey - if anyone else has autographed books to
donate, let me know, and you can have in on the fun too! -- I'm not jealous

REMEMBER! Submit your answers to < HUSTED@APACHE.ORG > and I'll
