BIRT Documentation

-
Recently I've had the pleasure opportunity to work with BIRT for a reporting project. My conclusion is that it is by far, the most inaccessible open source project I've ever seen. This post is dedicated to my future self. 

Hey! Here are the links you've been looking for!

Good luck, you'll need it...

jQuery floating table header plugin

-
A jQuery plugin that makes the header of a table floating if the original header isn't visible due to scrolling. The plugin will automatically choose the thead tag as the header for a table. If thead isn't found it will search for rows marked with the class 'floating'. The behavior can be changed by the settings forceClass and markingClass. News 2012-08-19 This plugin is no longer maintained by me and this page will therefore not be updated anymore. 2011-01-04 1.4.0 ! Lazy loading of tables and performance optimations by Jason Axley 2010-08-02 1.3.0 !

Getting a FacesContext from a GWT service

-
I'm working on a project where we needed to integrate JSF and GWT. To be more specific, we needed to have access to JSF beans in the GWT services. Because I missed the methods getThreadLocalRequest() and getThreadLocalResponse() in RemoteServiceServlet, I had to search quite a bit before i found an answer to this problem. So to save others some time i post the class i came up with. Most of the code is taken from an article at ocpsoft.com which also points out how important it is to release the context when you're done with it. The big difference are the lines, UIViewRoot view = facesContext.getApplication().getViewHandler().createView(facesContext, "gwtViewID"); facesContext.setViewRoot(view); , which sets the view root. If no view root is set you can't use, for instance MessageBundles. The getBean methods are only convenience methods for retrieving beans by name. /** * A substitute for RemoteServiceServlet that has access to the FacesContext. */ @Sup
