The way I normally handled this in the POI-HSSF environment (which I replaced with XSSF recently since xlsx is now required) is to read in a workbook, make the required changes and write the workbook back to file.
The larger memory footprint of XSSF is throwing me for a loop though, throwing heap space errors with this approach.
Ideally I'd like to only extract the sheet I need, make the necessary changes and then put it back inside the original document (or a copy of it, that really isn't relevant).
Any help would be appreciated, I couldn't find a solution myself. | java | apache-poi | xlsx | null | null | null | open | How to edit part of an .XLSX file with Java POI-XSSF

public void Server2ClientEnumConvert( ServerEnum server)
{
switch(server)
{
case ServerEnum.One:
return ClientEnum.ABC
//And so on.
Instead of this badness we could do somthing like:
public enum ServerEnum
{
[Enum2Enum(ClientEnum.ABC)]
One,
}
Now we can use reflection to rip through ServerEnum and get the conversion mappings from the enum declaration itself.
The problem I am having here is in the declaration of the Enum2Enum attribute.
This works but replacing object o with Enum e does not. I do not want to be able to pass in objects to the constructor, only other enums.
public class EnumToEnumAttribute : Attribute
{
public EnumToEnumAttribute(object o){}
}
This fails to compile.
public class EnumToEnumAttribute : Attribute
{
public EnumToEnumAttribute(Enum e){}
}
Is there a reason for the compile error? How else could I pass in the information need to map besides: EnumtoEnumAttribute(Type dest, string enumString)? This seems to verbose but if it is the only way then I guess I will use it.

Which requires a piece of javascript code to be added to each page to function. This is easy enough with more dynamic sites with universal headers or footers but not for totally static html pages.
I attempted to work round it by using a combination of Apache rewrites and SSI's to "Wrap" the static html with the required code. For example...
I made the following changes to my apache config
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=test.shtml
RewriteCond %{IS_SUBREQ} false
RewriteRule (.*)\.html test.shtml?$1.html
The test.shtml file contains...
<script type="text/javascript">
var XXXXid = 'xxxxxxx';
</script>
<script src="http://xxxx.woopra.com/xx/xxx.js"></script>
<!--#set var="page" value="$QUERY_STRING" -->
<!--#include virtual= $page -->
The idea was that a request coming in for
/abc.html
would be redirected to
/test.shtml?abc.html
the the shtml would then include the original file into the response page.
Unfortunately it doesn't quite work as planed :) can anyone see what I am doing wrong or perhaps suggest an alternative approach. Is there any apache modules that could do the same thing. Preferably that can be configured on a per site basis.
Thanks

One idea I thought about was using GUIDs as table keys. So for example, a Purchase Order would not have a number (auto-numeric) but a GUID instead, so that every offline client can generate those, and I don't have clashes when I connect back to the DB.
Is this a bad idea for some reason?
Will access to these tables through the GUID key be slow?
Have you had experience with these type of systems? How have you solved this problem?
Thanks!

The company is rather small in size and has pretty strong "start-up" feel to it. I'm working as a Java developer on a team of 3 others. The company primarily sells a service to for businesses/business-type people to use in communicating with each other.
One of the main things I have been, and will be working on, is the main website for the company - from which the service is sold, existing users login to check their service and pay their bills, new users can sign up for a trial, etc. Currently this is a JSP application deployed on Tomcat, with access to a database done thru a persistence layer written by the company itself.
A repeated and growing frustration I am having here (and I'm pretty happy with the job overall, so this isn't an "oh no I don't like my job"-type post) is the lack of any larger design or architecture for this web application. The app is made up of several dozen JSP pages, with almost no logic existing in Servlets or Beans or any other sort of framework. Many of the JSP pages are thousands of lines of code, they `jsp:include` other JSP pages, business logic is mixed in with the HTML, frequently used snippets of code (such as obtaining a web service connection) is cut and paste rather than reused, etc. In other words, the application is a mess.
There have been some rumblings within the company of trying to re-architect this site so that it fits MVC better; I think that the developers and higher-ups are beginning to realize that this current pattern of spaghetti code isn't sustainable or very easily scalable to add more features for the users. The higher-ups and developers are wary of completely re-writing the thing (with good reason, since this would mean several weeks or months of work re-writing existing functionality), but we've had some discussions of (slowly) re-writing certain areas of the site into a new framework.
What are some of the best strategies to enable moving the application and codebase into this direction? How can I as a developer really help move this along, and quickly, without seeming like the jerk-y new guy who comes into a job and tells everyone that what they've written is crap? Are there any proven strategies or experiences that you've used in your own job experience when you've encountered this sort of thing? | java | mvc | design | architecture | null | null | open | What is the best way to migrate an existing messy webapp to elegant MVC?

Let's also say that according to your business logic, all Customer objects must have these four properties defined.
Now, we can do this pretty easily by forcing the constructor to specify each of these properties. But it's pretty easy to see how this can spiral out of control when you are forced to add more required fields to the Customer object.
I've seen classes that take in 20+ arguments into their constructor and it's just a pain to use them. But, alternatively, if you don't require these fields you run into the risk of having undefined information, or worse, object referencing errors if you rely on the calling code to specify these properties.

A number of platforms support Bonjour out of the box (including Mac OS, iPhone, and Ubuntu) and there's numerous name resolution issues when this confict occurs.
I have a manual (per worksation) workaround in place for Mac OS by creating an `/etc/resolver/ntdomain.local` as per [`resolver(5)`][1] which works well. Unfortunately this requires manual changes on every workstation and does not work on the iPhone.
What I'm looking for is a way to redirect requests for `*.ntdomain.local` coming in via mDNS to a specific unicast DNS server. I don't mind writing some code if required. I can deploy on either preferably Debian or alternatively Windows 2003. It looks like [Avahi][2] may be the library I'm looking for.
Can this be done without registering every address in the subdomain or is it possible to register a single NS record of "ntdomain.local" that points to the Windows DNS server?

- How to implement pattern matching?
- How to implement [send and receive][6] (i.e. the Actor model)?
For the pattern matching part, I've been looking into various projects like [App][1] and [Prop][2]. These look pretty nice, but couldn't get them to work on a recent version (4.x) of g++. The [Felix][3] language also seems to support pattern matching pretty well, but isn't really C++.
As for the [Actor model][4], there are existing implementations like ACT++ and [Theron][5], but I couldn't find anything but papers on the former, and the latter is single-threaded only.
Personally, I've implemented actors using threading and a thread-safe message queue. Messages are hash-like structures, and used these together with a number of preprocessor macros to implemented simple pattern matching.
Right now, I can use the following code to send a message:
<pre><code>(new Message(this))
->set("foo", "bar")
->set("baz", 123)
->send(recipient);
</code></pre>
And the following to do simple pattern matching (`qDebug` and `qPrintable` are Qt-specific):
<pre><code>receive_and_match(m)
match_key("foo") { qDebug("foo: %s", qPrintable(m->value("foo").toString())); }
or_match_key("baz") { qDebug("baz: %d", m->value("baz").toInt()); }
or_match_ignore
end_receive
</code></pre>
However, this looks a bit hackish to me, and isn't very robust.
How would you do it? Did I miss any existing work?

I always thought Java was pass by reference, however I've seen a couple of blog posts that claim it's not. I don't think I understand the distinction they're making. Could someone explain it please?

My implementation worked by keeping 2 arrays of booleans, representing the 'last state', and the 'state being updated' (the 2 arrays being swapped at each iteration). While this is reasonably fast, I've often wondered about how to optimize this.
One idea, for example, would be to precompute at iteration N the zones that *could* be modified at iteration (N+1) (so that if a cell does not belong to such a zone, it won't even be considered for modification at iteration (N+1)). I'm aware that this is very vague, and I never took time to go into the details...
Do you have any ideas (or experience!) of how to go about optimizing (for speed) Game of Life iterations?

#!/usr/bin/env python
I'm running these scripts on a system where `env python` yields a Python 2.2 environment. My scripts quickly fail because I have a manual check for a compatible Python version:
if sys.version_info < (2, 4):
raise ImportError("Cannot run with Python version < 2.4")
I don't want to have to change the shebang line on every executable file, if it's possible; however, I don't have administrative access to the machine to change the result of `env python` and I don't want to force a particular version, as in:
#!/usr/bin/env python2.4
I'd like to avoid this because system may have a newer version than Python 2.4, or may have Python 2.5 but no Python 2.4.
What's the elegant solution?

In cohen's phd thesis on computer viruses, he showed how virus scanning is equivilent to the halting problem, yet we have an entire industry based around this challenge.
I also have seen microsoft's terminator project - http://research.microsoft.com/Terminator/
Which leads me to ask - is the halting problem overrated - do we need to worry about the general case?
Will types become turning complete over time - dependant types do seem like a good development?
Or, to look the other way, will we begin to use non turing complete languages to gain the benefits of static analysis ? | computability | language-agnostic | types | inference | null | null | open | Is solving the halting problem easier than people think?
