Cardspace issues

I wasted 2 days over this Cardspace issue . Which require us to "strip whitespace from xml signatures - a need of MicroSoft's CardSpace identity selector". See the exact steps to enable this patch here.

You would also need JCE security policy to be upgraded. Here are the installation instruction:


1) Download the unlimited strength JCE policy files.
2) Uncompress and extract the downloaded file.
    This will create a subdirectory called jce. This directory contains the following files:

README.txt This file
COPYRIGHT.html Copyright information
local_policy.jar Unlimited strength local policy file
US_export_policy.jar Unlimited strength US export policy file

3) Install the unlimited strength policy JAR files.

To utilize the encryption/decryption functionalities of the JCE framework without any limitation, first make a copy of the original JCE policy files (US_export_policy.jar and local_policy.jar in the standard place for JCE jurisdiction policy JAR files) in case you later decide to revert to these "strong" versions. Then replace the strong policy files with the unlimited strength versions extracted in the previous step.

The standard place for JCE jurisdiction policy JAR files is: JAVA_HOME\jre\lib\security

Other than that the JAVA_OPTS variable needs to be update in catalina.bat as below:
set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dorg.apache.xml.security.ignoreLineBreaks=true %LOGGING_CONFIG%

jQgrid reload with new data

To reload a jQGrid with fresh data you need to set the data parameter on the grid and invoke reload on it. jQuery("#promotionsGrid").setGridParam({ 'data': newData}).trigger("reloadGrid"); Here newData is a JavaScript array with which I need to re-load the grid. The important thing here is that I had to place this statement just before the grid initialization code even though the reload was expected on change event of a text box. Without that there was simply no effect on my grid!

Rich Client based UI technologies- A Comparison of Thick Client UI tools

Rich Client v/s Thin Client Software developers face many difficult decisions when building new applications, not the least of which is graphical user interface. There are various graphical user interface technologies used, but broadly they can be classified as Rich Client User interfaces and the thin client or web based user interfaces. To understand them better let us look at the history of rich and thin clients. While the Rich client GUI applications would support high quality end-user experience with features such a drag-and-drop, perspectives, customization, high speed local processing; it has had a traditional disadvantage of high deployment and upgrade costs. It was becoming highly difficult and costly to deploy and upgrade these applications. Then came the thin clients or the Web based applications. Thin clients solved many of the deployment and upgrade problems, but that was not without a cost, the cost was in terms of functionality and capability. Thin clients, based on

OSS and BSS Systems

Image
OSS (Operational Support Systems) Software (occasionally hardware) applications that support back-office activities which operate a telco’s network, provision and maintain customer services. OSS is traditionally used by network planners, operations, architects, support, and engineering teams in the service provider. Increasingly product managers and senior staff under the CTO or COO may also use or rely on OSS to some extent. BSS (Business Support Systems) Software applications that support customer-facing activities. Billing, order management, customer relationship management, call centre automation, are all BSS applications. BSS may also encompass the customer-facing veneer of OSS application such as trouble-ticketing and service assurance – these are back-office activities but initiated directly by contact with the customer. OSS/BSS Structure Communication between OSS and BSS Apart from service assurance activities being cross-OSS-BSS processes, there are as m
