The general example of doing things is: {controller}/{action}/{id}
So in the scenario of doing a product search for a store you'd have:
public class ProductsController: Controller
{
public ActionResult Search(string id) // id being the search string
{ ... }
}
Say you had a few stores to do this and you wanted that consistently, is there any way to then have: {category}/{controller}/{action}/{id}
So that you could have a particular search for a particular store, but use a different search method for a different store?
(If you required the store name to be a higher priority than the function itself in the url)
Or would it come down to:
public class ProductsController: Controller
{
public ActionResult Search(int category, string id) // id being the search string
{
if(category == 1) return Category1Search();
if(category == 2) return Category2Search();
...
}
}
It may not be a great example, but basically the idea is to use the same controller name and therefore have a simple URL across a few different scenarios, or are you kind of stuck with requiring unique controller names, and no way to put them in slightly different namespaces/directories?
Edit to add:
The other reason I want this is because I might want a url that has the categories, and that certain controllers will only work under certain categories.
IE:
/this/search/items/search+term <-- works
/that/search/items/search+term <-- won't work - because the search controller isn't allowed. | asp.net-mvc | routing | controller | null | null | null | open | How to develop catagories of controllers in MVC Routing?

However, COM on Windows shows that it's possible to create a minimal plug-in system that allows programmers with different compilers to create plug-ins for a host application using a simple interface.
Let's be practical, and leave the C++ standard, which is not very helpful in this respect, aside for a minute. If I want to write an app for Windows and Mac (and optionally Linux) that supports C++ plug-ins, and if I want to give plug-in authors a reasonably large choice of compilers (say less than 2 year old versions of Visual C++, GCC or Intel's C++ compiler), what features of C++ could I count on?
Of course, I assume that plug-ins would be written for a specific platform.
Off the top of my head, here are some C++ features I can think of, with what I think is the answer:
- vtable layout, to use objects through abstract classes? (yes)
- built-in types, pointers? (yes)
- structs, unions? (yes)
- exceptions? (no)
- extern "C" functions? (yes)
- stdcall non-extern "C" functions with built-in parameter types? (yes)
- non-stdcall non-extern "C" functions with user-defined parameter types? (no)
I would appreciate any experience you have in that area that you could share. If you know of any moderately successful app that has a C++ plug-in system, that's cool too.

For those unfamiliar, the uploader works by using a Flash applet to give me more control over the FileOpen dialog. I can specify a filter for file types, allow multiple files to be selected, etc. It's great, but it has the following documented limitation:
> Because of a known Flash bug, the Uploader running in Firefox in Windows does not send the correct cookies with the upload; instead of sending Firefox cookies, it sends Internet Explorer’s cookies for the respective domain. As a workaround, we suggest either using a cookieless upload method or appending document.cookie to the upload request.
So if a user is using Firefox, I can't rely on cookies to persist their session when they upload a file. I need their session because I need to know who they are! As a workaround, I'm using the Application object thusly:
Guid UploadID = Guid.NewGuid();
Application.Add(Guid.ToString(), User);
So I'm creating a unique ID and using it as a key to store the Page.User object in the Application scope. I include that ID as a variable in the POST when the file is uploaded. Then, in the handler that accepts the file upload, I grab the User object thusly:
IPrincipal User = (IPrincipal)Application[Request.Form["uploadid"]];
So this actually works, but it has two glaring drawbacks:
* if IIS, the app pool, or even just the application is restarted between the time the user visits the upload page, and actually uploads a file, their "uploadid" is deleted from application scope and the upload fails because I can't authenticate them.
* If I ever scale to a web farm (possibly even a web garden) scenario, this will completely break. I might not be worried, except I do plan on scaling this app in the future.
Does anyone have a better way? Is there a way for me to pass the actual ASP.Net session ID in a POST variable, then use that ID at the other end to retrieve the session? | asp.net | session | yui | null | null | null | open | Can I put an ASP.Net session ID in a hidden form field?
===
I'm using the Yahoo Uploader, part of the Yahoo UI Library, on my ASP.Net website to allow users to upload files. For those unfamiliar, the uploader works by using a Flash applet to give me more control over the FileOpen dialog. I can specify a filter for file types, allow multiple files to be selected, etc. It's great, but it has the following documented limitation:
> Because of a known Flash bug, the Uploader running in Firefox in Windows does not send the correct cookies with the upload; instead of sending Firefox cookies, it sends Internet Explorer’s cookies for the respective domain. As a workaround, we suggest either using a cookieless upload method or appending document.cookie to the upload request.
So if a user is using Firefox, I can't rely on cookies to persist their session when they upload a file. I need their session because I need to know who they are! As a workaround, I'm using the Application object thusly:
Guid UploadID = Guid.NewGuid();
Application.Add(Guid.ToString(), User);

E.g., if a VARCHAR column has a maximum with of 20 characters, there GUIs should automatically constrain the user from typing more than 20 characters in a related form field.
And I have strong antipathy to ORMs which want to define my database tables, or are based on some hack where every table needs to have extra numeric ID columns because of the ORM.
I've looked a bit into Python database frameworks and I think I can conclude the SQLAlchemy fits best to my mentality.
Now, I need to find a web application framework which fits naturally with SQLAlchemy (or an equivalent) and perhaps even with my appetite for coupling. With "web application framework", I mean products/project such as Pyhons, Django, TurboGears, web2py, etc.
E.g., it should ideally be able to:
<ul>
<li><strong>automatically select a suitable form widget</strong> for data entering a given column if told to do so; e.g., if the column has a foreign key to a column with 10 different values, widget should display the 10 possible values as a dropdown</li>
<li><strong>auto-generate javascript form validation code</strong> which gives the end-user quick error feedback if a string is entered into a field which is about to end up in an INTEGER column, etc</li>
<li>auto-generate a <strong>calendar widget</strong> for data which will end up in a DATE column</li>
<li><strong>hint NOT NULL constraints</strong> as javascript which complains about empty or whitespace-only data in a related input field</li>
<li>generate javascript validation code which matches relevant (simple) <strong>CHECK-constraints</strong></li>
<li>make it easy to <strong>avoid SQL injection</strong>, by using prepared statements and/or validation of externally derived data</li>
<li>make it easy to <strong>avoid cross site scripting</strong> by automatically escape outgoing strings when appropriate</li>
<li><strong>make use of constraint names</strong> to generate somewhat user friendly error messages in case a constrataint is violated</li>
</ul>
All this should happen dynamically, so table adjustments are automatically reflected on the frontend - probably with a caching mechanism, so that all the model introspection wouldn't kill performance. In other words, I don't want to repeat my model definition in an XML file (or alike) when it has already been carefully been defined in my database.

It starts with the do-it-yourself CGI approach and it seems to end with some pretty robust frameworks that would basically do all the job themselves. And a huge lot of stuff in between, like [web.py](http://webpy.org/), [Pyroxide](http://pyroxide.org/) and [Django](http://wiki.python.org/moin/Django).
* What are the **pros** and **cons** of the frameworks or approaches that *you've worked on*?
* What **trade-offs** are there?
* For **what kind of projects** they do well and for what they don't? | 0 |

A macro was written that takes screen shots of each page and pastes them into a PowerPoint presentation. Because of the nice formatting options in Excel, the presentation looks very pretty.
The problem I'm having is that I haven't ever seen an Access report that would be pretty enough to display to upper management. I think the output still has to be a PowerPoint presentation. It needs to look as close as possible to the original output.
I am currently trying to write some code to use a .pot (presentation template) and fill in the data programmatically. Putting the data into a PowerPoint table has been tricky because the tables are not easy to manipulate. For example, if a particular description is too long, I need to break into the next cell down (word-wrap isn't allowed because I can only have *n* lines per page).
Is there a way to make an Access report pretty, am I headed down the right path, or should I just try to programmatically fill in the Excel spreadsheet and use the code that already exists there to produce the presentation?

The answer referred to "messages". As a self-taught hobby programmer trying to phrase questions that don't make me look like an idiot, I'm realizing that the terminology that I use reveals a lot about how I learned to program.
Is there a distinction between the various terms for methods/messages/etc. in OO programming? Is this a difference that comes from different programming languages using different terminology to describe similar concepts?
I seem to remember that in pre-OO languages, a distinction would sometimes be made between "subroutines" and "functions" based on whether a return value was expected, but even then, was this a language-by-language distinction?

The application need to prefetch a batch of 100 IDs from a sequence. It's relatively easy to do in a single-threaded, non-distributed environment, you can just issue these queries:
select seq.nextval from dual;
alter sequence seq increment by 100;
select seq.nextval from dual;
The first select fetches the first sequence ID that the application can use, the second select returns the last one that can be used.
Things get way more interesting in a multithreaded environment. You can't be sure that before the second select another thread doesn't increase the sequence by 100 again. This issue can be solved by synchronizing the access on the Java side - you only let one thread begin fetching the IDs at one time.
The situation becomes really hard when you can't synchronize because parts of the application doesn't run on the same JVM, not even on the same physical machine. I found some references on forums that others have problems with solving this problem too, but none of the answers are really working not to mention being reasonable.
Can the community provide a solution for this problem?
Some more information:
- I can't really play with the transaction isolation levels. I use JPA and the change would affect the entire application, not only the prefetching queries and that's not acceptable for me.

I'll just say I had this working, but I want to switch the jstl jar file that has the tld files in the jar file. (instead of having to deploy them somewhere in the web application and define the references in web.xml).

I can create team builds and trigger them manually in Visual Studio or via the command line (where they complete successfully). However check ins to the source tree do not cause a build to trigger despite the option to build every check in being ticked on the build definition.
The source tree is configured is a pretty straight forward manner with code either under a *Main* folder or under a *Branch\branchName* folder. Each branch of code (including main) has a standard Team Build definition relating to the solution file contained within. The only thing that is slightly changed from default settings is that the build server working folder; i.e. for main this is *Server:"$\main" Local:"c:\build\main"* due to path length.
The only thing I've been able to guess at (possible red herring) is that there might be some oddity with the developer workspaces. Currently each developer maps Server:"$\" to local:"c:\tfs\" so that there is only one workspace for all branches. This is mainly to avoid re-mapping problems that some of the developers had previously gotten themselves into. But I can't see how this would affect CI.
Any help appreciated.

I would like to have a, maybe JavaScript-based, control library that I can simple provide with some text labels, input types and default values.

I have also found [ActiveWidgets][2], but it looks like it will require a lot of work on my behalf. I'm not only looking for individual web controls, but rather something like a library that can help me with the overall card.

Now, I _want_ most of the content to get indexed by Google. The notable exception is the off-topic content. Each thread has it's own page, but all the threads are listed in the same folder so I can just exclude search engines from a folder somewhere. It has to be per-page. A traditional robots.txt file would get huge, so how else could I accomplish this? | 0 |

Usually the actual file is hosted on some free image hosting site. I wouldn't actually load the flash unless the user clicked a button to play (so that nothing auto-plays on page load). I know people can make some really annoying crap in flash, but I can't find any information about potential *serious* damage a flash app could cause.
**Is it unsafe to embed just any flash file from the internets? If so, how can I let users embed innocent animations but still keep out the harmful apps?** | security | flash | embed | null | null | null | open | Is it unsafe to allow users to embed any flash file (swf)?

Until we have completely reimplemented everything in Java we expect the C++ and Java to have to communicate with each other (RMI, SOAP, messaging, etc - we haven't decided).
Now my manager thinks we'll need the Java and C++ sides to participate in the same Oracle DB transaction. This is related to, but different from the usual distrbuted transaction problem of having a single process co-ordinate 2 transactional resources, such as a DB and a message queue.
I think propagating a transaction across processes is a terrible idea from a performance and stability point-of-view, but I am still going to be asked for a solution.
I am familiar with XA transactions and I've done some work with the JBoss Transaction Manager, but my googling hasn't turned up anything good on propagating an XA transaction between 2 processes.
We are using Spring on the Java side and their documentation explicitly states they do not provide any help with transaction propagation.
We are not planning on using a traditional JEE server (for example: IBM Websphere), which may have support for propagation (not that I can find any definitive documentation).
Any help or pointers on solutions is greatly appreciated. | java | oracle | transactions | jta | jts | null | open | Propagation of Oracle Transactions Between C++ and Java
