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!

Introduction to jQgrid

Introduction Why waste time in developing lists /customizing Liferay OOB search container to display data in tabular format. On top of that more often then not we end up coding for sorting of columns, pagination and formatting some data depending on their values. Trirand has come up with a jQuery plugin called jQgrid. jQgrid supports all of such ease. It provides a nice-looking grid with built-in features such as sorting, editing, search, drill-down, tree lists, and more. It is based upon jQuery and integrates well with Liferay.  The grid is dual-licensed under both the GPL and MIT licenses  (just like

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...
