java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No enum const class Pachube.Exposure.

misterdom — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 19:40:46 +0000

Trying to push some data to Pachube using JPachube I faced this error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No enum const class Pachube.Exposure which is reported as an issue on the JPachube forge but was not fixed yet. However, a nice fox actually located the bug and uploaded the solution. Since the it requires you to recompile the JPachube library I’ve done the job for you and uploaded it to here, until a patched version is officially released…

Packaging a Property File in a Maven Project

misterdom — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 14:12:52 +0000

When working with a Maven project, property (e.g. config.properties) files are not copied to the build as a default. The easiest way to have them appear in the final jar is to put them in ${basedir}/src/main/resources.

As a result your property file will be copied at the root of your packaged jar.

Removing Latex Tags in a Word Document

misterdom — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 14:05:41 +0000

We can use the regexp feature of the find/replace tool in Word.

Search for:

\\code\{(*)\}

Where:

\ is the escape char (thus the \\ for detecting a Latex tag)
* means “everything”
( ) creates a logical entity that you can re-use in the replace field.

and replace by:

\1

which refers to the entity we created by using ().

Changing the Default Java Vendor (or Version) in Ubuntu

misterdom — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 08:34:13 +0000

Run sudo update-java-alternatives -l to see the current configuration and possibilities.

Run sudo update-java-alternatives -s XXXX to set the XXX java version as default. For Sun Java 6 this would be sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun

Run java -version to ensure that the correct version is being called.

Doing PUT DELETE and Other Niceties with GWT

misterdom — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 15:33:35 +0000

You probably are REST lovers like I personally am.

Thus you were probably quite frustrated when seeing that a GWT (Google Web Toolkit) client cannot send other requests than POST or GET.
Well here is the solution:

public class RequestBuilderForAnyHTTPMethodTypeExample extends RequestBuilder {

/** * Constructor that allows a developer to override the HTTP method * restrictions imposed by the RequestBuilder class. Note if you override the * RequestBuilder's HTTP method restrictions in this manner, your application * may not work correctly on Safari browsers. * * @param httpMethod any non-null, non-empty string is considered valid * @param url any non-null, non-empty string is considered valid * * @throws IllegalArgumentException if httpMethod or url are empty * @throws NullPointerException if httpMethod or url are null */ public RequestBuilderForAnyHTTPMethodTypeExample(String httpMethod, String url) { super(httpMethod, url); }

i.e. simply subclass the RequestBuilder
