Sinha urges people to refrain from paying taxes
In the wake of the hike in the petrol prices, the Bharatiya Janata Party on Friday gave a call to the people to stop cooperating with the government and refrain from paying taxes.
Its message to the Congress' allies and supporters, inside and outside the government, was that they must make their stand clear or be prepared to share the blame for the hike.
The former Finance Minister, Yashwant Sinha, said people could no longer afford to wait for the government to complete its tenure; they must "revolt" against it by not paying taxes.
At the same time, he would not say whether the BJP would bring a motion of no-confidence against the Manmohan Singh-led government. "The winter session will start shortly. Our parliamentary party will meet and decide," he said.
While giving credit to the National Democratic Alliance government of Atal Bihari Vajpayee for de-regulating the prices of petroleum products and thus delinking them from government decisions, he blamed the United Progressive Alliance government for not lowering taxes on these products so as to absorb the price hike owing to higher cost of international crude.
Asked if the government ought to go back to administered prices, he said while it was not a mistake to deregulate oil prices, it should be handled in a constructive manner by the government, by absorbing increases through a cut in taxes.
Mr. Sinha described the government as "most insensitive" to the plight of the common man. Neither Prime Minister Manmohan Singh nor Congress President Sonia Gandhi knew the "real India" and the "suffering of its people." In the last monsoon session, he pointed out, the UPA too had voted for a joint resolution, promising to take effective steps to curb prices. Instead, on Thursday, the food inflation figures were at a peak and at midnight the petrol prices were raised.
Mr. Sinha reeled out statistics on crude prices, relating them to the petrol prices during the NDA rule and the UPA period. He said the international crude price ranged from $10 to $40 a barrel in the six-year period from 1998 to 2004 with an average price of less than $30. The price of petrol in 2004, "when we left the government," was just over Rs.33 a litre.
He compared this to the UPA period, when the international crude price touched a high of $146 a barrel in July 2008 with an average price of $80. The petrol price, he noted was now just around the Rs.68 a litre mark. He did not explain why, according to him, the petrol price relative to the price of crude was lower during the NDA regime; for the average crude price, according to him, was 160 per cent higher during the UPA regime but petrol price a litre just under 110 per cent higher.

In digital age, librarians are needed more than ever (infographic)
It's so good such infographics like the one presented below are created.
They don't only list challenges both librarians and library patrons face in times when everything moves to Google or Amazon servers. They also show that the skilled librarian is needed by library patrons more than ever before.
The infographic, published by the University of Southern California, Online Library Science Degree, together with Creative Signals, shows how the role of the librarian evolves.
With the rise of digitized archives, and new technology to access and process them, the library transforms to a space not only of media consumption, but also of media creation.

text: I am a student at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, AZ. We are developing a video telemetery unit for use in an autonomous helicopter. I am interested in using several webcams (3 right now) to give the pilot a wide field of view, and I am very interested in using the Verdex board's USB Host capability to recieve video data from those cameras. The idea is that we can use Intel's free Integrated Performance Primitives for Linux to do JPEG-2000 compression on the board, then send the data to a WiFi transmitter over ethernet using the netCF board. My question is this: due to the fact that JPEG-2000 encoding is probably going to use a lot of processor power with just one camera, let alone 3, is it possible to stack Verdex boards (or interface them together somehow) so that they can handle processing data from 3 cameras? Or, better yet, do you think that one Verdex board might be able to handle it? Thanks everybody! - Jonathan Kunze

Click It or Ticket campaign beginning May 19
Motorists and passengers are reminded of the importance of buckling up as extra Click It or Ticket seat belt patrols take to the roads statewide for two weeks – May 19-June 1.
The Becker County Sheriff's Office is among nearly 400 Minnesota agencies increasing patrols to encourage motorists to buckle up.
In the last five years on Minnesota roads (2009-2013), there were 1,423 motor vehicle occupant deaths, of which 587 (41.3 percent) were not buckled up.

We have to build the audiences for the things we love. We vote for the culture we want with our dollars. It's not enough to help bring beautiful & better films into this world; we have to find the ways to make them social, so that the communities can discover them. I hold incredible respect for the curators. I think such activity is part of the producers' job description. I have run a screening series now for two years; it may not be easy, but it is rewarding.Read More »

Just when you thought "The Blair Witch Project 5: It's Witchin' Time!" nailed the coffin shut in the accidentally successful, cheapo-scare found/footage genre, the fucking godawful "Paranormal Activity" films had to light that shit afire again. Why? Because the Oren Peli-directed film cost (and looks like it cost) about $50 to make and grossed $193 million worldwide thanks to chowder-headed audiences with nothing better to do with their time. You do the math on that awesome profit margin. These films are essentially made for a nickel and pay for themselves about 15 times over -- "Paranormal Activity 2" grossed $177 million. Essentially, the success of "Paranormal Activity" means Paramount will continue to crank these films out endlessly.Read More »
2011 for Steven Spielberg is much more difficult than it was in 2005 -- the last time the super-prolific filmmaker released two films in one year. In 2005, you had "War of the Worlds" in the summer and six months later you had "Munich," and very little had to be done by way of managing time between Paramount ("War of the Worlds") and Universal ("Munich").Read More »
"Roman Polanski" is a fragmented name, one that encompasses numerous identities and connotations. To some, "Polanski" is the child who survived the Krakow Ghetto during World War II. To others, he is the womanizer whose wife was brutally murdered by a homicidal cult. And still, to others, he is the criminal who fled to Paris while awaiting a statutory rape trial. Yet, to a select group of cinephiles, actors and filmmakers, the name "Polanski" is an adjective, one that ignores the "man's" personal life and describes the "artist's" prolific career, which spans nearly six decades. This career produced numerous films that exemplified the "Polanski" style; they explore the psychology of the psychotic, they blend the conventions and iconography of various genres and, oftentimes, they look towards pessimism as a means of comfort. It is Polanski's third feature film, Cul-de-sac (1966), that best exemplifies the "Polanski" style. The film unites the various elements of a "Polanski film," creating a self-proclaimed masterpiece.Read More »
Two new documentaries, both already out in limited release and headed for expansions, are necessary for anyone keeping up with the nonfiction film trends of this year (read Daniel James Scott's piece from Documentary magazine on this zeitgeist). If you've seen or are interested in seeing "Project Nim," "Buck" and "One Lucky Elephant" (the last despite my scathing review), you have to add "The Whale" and "Jane's Journey" to your list or queue (do we still use that term now that Netflix is screwing it up?). Each is surprisingly essential to the discourse and surprisingly an engrossing entertainment.Read More »
Brazilian Auteur Talks "Fascist Vs. Marxist" Perspective In Filmmaking, Police Corruption, Social Politics & MoreJose Padilha may currently be best known for directing the upcoming remake of Paul Verhoeven's "RoboCop," but rest assured that the Brazilian filmmaker is anything but a purveyor of style brought in to polish off a classic property. His previous work, including the documentary "Bus 174," the police thriller "Elite Squad," and its new sequel "The Enemy Within," was not only hugely successful in his native Brazil, but it was all distinguished by a sophisticated, incisive commentary on contemporary culture which will undoubtedly come in handy as he revisits Verhoeven's iconic satire.Read More »

The USPS should have gotten into certificates a long time ago. Is it any wonder they're going under?
They're going under because they are facing the same pressures as the Royal Mail in the UK - private companies can pick and choose profitable delivery while dumping the unprofitable stuff on the national mail carrier who simply *must* take on the stuff that private companies would ignore as unprofitable. The USPS has it slightly better than the Royal Mail because third party carriers can't put things in your mailbox (there is no such restriction here), but parcel delivery companies are seriously squeezing them.
Also because you can send something across the whole US for a buck or so and be almost certain it will get there in a couple of days, come rain or shine.

A Note on Glaswegian Fashion
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to fashionably fit in in Glasgow, as decided by myself through careful observation over the last two days. For women: Step one: Straighten your hair. Whether you wear it down or pulled back super tight, it must be straightened. Step two: Go open your makeup bag and see what's inside. Put all of it on your face. All of it. Step three: Open your closet and find the tightest pants ...

Best wood species for grain matching fake out
LoPayJune 1, 2013
If you wanted a consistent orientation of wood grain on your cabinets, what species would give the appearance of being grain matched with out actually being matched? Or should I ask, what species would have less variation in the grain from one piece to the next?
Do certain species look better orientated one way than other?
How bad would light walnut stain look on birch or maple to attempt a grain matched look over eight feet of frame less drawers?
TexasPenny did a great job with her cheery and lay out, but I want something in a browner tone.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
11 May 2013 03:25 GMT | Syria
When the Syrian uprising against President Bashar al-Assad's regime began in March 2011, many analysts believed the regime would remain intact, given the strict loyalty test officials and diplomats have to endure before receiving important positions in the army or government.
As the uprising progressed, military generals and soldiers began to defect from the Syrian army to form the rebel Free Syrian Army. A large number of soldiers fled to neighbouring Turkey while others remained in Syria to battle government forces.
These defecting officials represent a small minority of government representatives – most have remained loyal to the state.
With the help of an organisation named Movements.org, this tool tracks the defections of senior military officials (generals and colonels), members of parliament and diplomatic officials. Owing to media restrictions placed on Al Jazeera by the Syrian government, we cannot verify all reports of defections that we receive. Whenever possible, we have only added names of people who announced their defection with a video.
Other data comes from media reports, human rights organisations, and activist networks. Due to the nature of the Syrian state, this list is not comprehensive, given the lack of an accessible official database from the Syrian Army or foreign ministry.
Syria's Parliament has 250 members elected for four year terms in 15 multi-seat constituencies. In May 2012, elections resulted in a new parliament that for the first time in four decades is based on a multi-party system. The ruling Ba'ath Party still won around 60 per cent of the seats. Jihad al- Lahham, representative of Damascus, is the speaker of the parliament.
The Cabinet of Syria, made up of 33 ministers, is the chief executive body as stipulated in the Constitution. In April 2012, a new cabinet led by Prime Minister Riad Hijab was announced, a year after the previous cabinet resigned in light of anti-government protests. In July 2012, Assad selected a new defence minister, Fahd Jassem Freij, after the death Daoud Rajha in a bomb attack.
As violence escalated and reports emerged of massacres committed by Assad's regime, many countries expelled Syrian diplomats. In February 2012, several Arab nations expelled Syrian ambassadors in light of a massacre reported in Homs City. In May 2012, many Western countries expelled Syrian diplomats following a massacre in the town of Houla in Homs province, which the UN called a "brutal tragedy".
The al-Assad family has ruled Syria since Hafez al-Assad became president in 1971. His son Bashar took power after Hafez's death in 2000. Family connections are an important part of Syrian politics and several family members hold important military and security positions. The Assads are originally from a village in Latakia and belong to the minority Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shia Islam.
Senior military and security officials
Several military officials are also senior members of Syria's intelligence apparatus. Many have been actively involved in supressing protests. As the uprising progressed, a growing number of soldiers began to defect from the Army and formed the rebel Free Syrian Army. In July 2012, in a huge blow to Assad, a bomb ripped through a high-level security meeting in Damascus, killing three top officials. Al Jazeera is only including defections from generals and colonels in this visualisation.

Alex Brandon, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — In the summer of 2011, when a debt crisis like the current one loomed, President Barack Obama warned Republicans that older Americans might not get their Social Security checks unless there was a deal to raise the nation's borrowing limit.
After weeks of brinkmanship, Republicans consented and Obama agreed to a deficit-reduction plan the GOP wanted. Crisis averted, for a time.
Now that there's a fresh showdown, the possibility of Social Security cuts —and more — is back on the table.
The government could run out of cash to pay all its bills in full as early as Feb. 15, according to one authoritative estimate, and congressional Republicans want significant spending cuts in exchange for raising the borrowing limit. Obama, forced to negotiate an increase in 2011, has pledged not to negotiate again.
Without an agreement, every option facing his administration would be unprecedented.
It would require a degree of financial creativity that could test the law, perhaps even the Constitution.
It could shortchange Social Security recipients and other people, including veteran and the poor, who rely on government programs.
It could force the Treasury to contemplate selling government assets, a step considered but rejected in 2011. In short, the Treasury would have to create its own form of triage, creating a priority list of its most crucial obligations, from interest payments to debtors to benefits to vulnerable Americans.
"It may be that somewhere down the line someone will challenge what the administration did in that moment, but in the moment, who's going to stop them?" asked Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a former director of the Congressional Budget Office. "I pray we never have to find out how imaginative they are."
In such a debt crisis, the president would have to decide what laws he wants to break. Does he breach the borrowing limit without a congressional OK? Does he ignore spending commitments required by law?
In a letter to Obama on Friday, Senate Democratic leaders urged him to consider taking any "lawful steps that ensure that America does not break its promises and trigger a global economic crisis — without congressional approval, if necessary."
The White House has resisted that path. It has rejected recommendations that it invoke a provision in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution that states that "the validity of the public debt of the United States ... shall not be questioned."
"There are only two options to deal with the debt limit: Congress can pay its bills or they can fail to act and put the nation into default," White House press secretary Jay Carney said. "Congress needs to do its job."
So what's left if Congress does not act in time?
Technically, the government hit the debt ceiling at the end of December. Since then, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has halted full payments into the retirement and disability fund for government workers and to the health benefits fund of Postal Service retirees.
The Treasury can stop payments to a special fund that purchases or sells foreign currencies to stabilize world financial markets.
Past administrations have taken such steps to buy time awaiting a debt ceiling increase. That happened under Presidents Bill Clinton and President George W. Bush. The government restored those funds after Congress raised the debt ceiling.
Those measures and others could keep the government solvent, perhaps as far as early March, according to an analysis by the Bipartisan Policy Center.
There are other extreme possibilities as well.
The federal government could sell some of its assets, from its gold stockpile to its student loan portfolio.

Kill Decision by Daniel Suarez
I just finished this book, has anyone read this? It's so rare that I get really engrossed in a novel but this one did the trick, it was a real page turner!
It's about automated combat drones and a mysterious group that starts using them to attack the USA. It raises some interesting issues without really coming down on one side or the other, and it's got some amazing action sequences that would make for a really great movie.
This guy wrote two books before this and I'm definitely going to check them out now, has anyone read those? Are there any similar authors out there?

Re: Kill Decision by Daniel Suarez
I read it. Didn't love it... it got way silly in places IMO.
I also read the other two... FreedomTM was the second and the first was... Daemon? But the first one was fairly engrossing and FreedomTM went off the rails. Was very much targeted at me given the computer programmer and first person shooter game stuff.

KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) — The Atlanta Braves agreed Wednesday on a $14.1 million, one-year contract with Ervin Santana, bolstering their injury plagued starting rotation.
Braves sign RHP Ervin Santana to bolster rotation
The 33-year-old right-hander went 9-10 with a 3.24 ERA in 32 starts for the Kansas City Royals last season and should make a huge impact with the battered Braves, who are facing the prospect of losing Kris Medlen for the season and opening with Brandon Beachy and Mike Minor on the disabled list.
Medlen, who had been announced as Atlanta's opening-day starter, left a spring training outing Sunday after grabbing his right elbow. Initial tests showed ligament damage, and he will undergo further examination to determine if he needs surgery for the second time in less than four years. Medlen said he's already preparing himself to miss the entire season.
Beachy left a start Monday because of continuing problems with his right elbow, and Minor has yet to pitch this spring because of a sore shoulder.
"In light of what has happened over the past few days with our pitching staff, we felt it was incumbent on us to do everything we could to strengthen our starting pitching," Braves general manager Frank Wren told reporters before a game against Washington.
Santana will be pitching in the NL for the first time in his 10-year career. He spent eight seasons with the Los Angeles Angels before being traded to the Royals in 2013, helping Kansas City post an 86-76 record, their best since 1989.
But Santana, who made $13 million in the final year of his contract, turned down a $14.1 million qualifying offer from the Royals and became a free agent. Given his hefty contract demands, he remained unsigned as spring training began, despite putting up some impressive career numbers.
"This guy makes our rotation a lot better than where we are at now," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said, praising Wren. "We lost Medlen and Beachy in a matter of 2½ days and he went out there and got the best pitcher available for us."
Santana threw a bullpen at the Braves spring training complex on Wednesday, which Gonzalez said went well. Despite his late entrance to camp, Santana could be ready for the start of the season.
"It will be close," Gonzalez said. "We are kind of keeping our fingers crossed that we can get him enough innings where he can start for us."
Santana was an AL All-Star in 2008, tossed a no-hitter in 2011, and has reached double-figure wins five times, going a career-best 17-10 in 2010 and twice winning 16 games.
Overall, he is 105-90 with a 4.19 ERA.
Santana's agent, Jay Alou, said he initially received a text from Wren on Sunday, then got another call Tuesday night while negotiating with other clubs.
It didn't take long to reach an agreement with Atlanta, a deal that includes award bonuses.
It's easy to see why the Braves felt a sense of desperation. Medlen went a team-leading 15-12 with a 3.11 ERA last season, while Minor was 13-9 with a 3.21 ERA. The team also was counting on a full recovery for Beachy, who was one of the NL's most effective pitchers in 2012 before he underwent season-ending elbow surgery.

Comments about Mystiglo Digital LED Business Sign:
I just bought this LED Business Hours Sign. It was very easy to set up and connect to the manufacturer OPEN sign (that I love!). After 24 hours of use one LED is burnt out in the closing time first position - bottom. So instead of 6:00 it says 6:0U (the U is upside down)! The next day Wednesday's Open time should display 10:00 instead another LED burnt out and it displays 10:0U. I am waiting for a few more to burn put before contacting Staples for a replacement. Hopefully they will read this and send me a replacement sign that works. I will let you know if they do!

Do I need a permit for converting electrical to gas cooktop?
Asked appliance store/contractor, some said yes some said "not really". What'd be the problem if I don't apply for permit for the job?
It depends on your locale and exactly what you're doing. If you need to run a gas line to your kitchen, then you probably do need a permit. If you're just hooking up a new cooktop to an existing gas line then probably not. Best to check with your town's building department.
Trixieinthegarden, thanks for the advice. I've already bought a gas cooktop. I heard that induction is really good except it has requirements for the cookwares.
I wondered the same thing, so I checked with our gas company. I found out that yes, a permit is required. They said a licensed plumber has to come do the work. When they are finished, an inspector will come and sign off on it. Only then can the new gas cooktop be installed. When I thought about it, I realized that gas is nothing to fool around with...I want to be 1000% safe. It's not worth risking our safety (or our the safety of surrounding homes, for that matter) by cutting a corner or two.
Chaocai: it will vary by region but I think many regions are like mine where for the gas you wouldn't need a "permit" but just have the work signed off after install which most installers will arrange for when they are done. As for the electrical you can buy a device at home depot (or where ever) that plugs into your 220 range outlet and converts it to a reg 15a 110 outlet and no permit is needed, plus if you or anyone else ever goes electric again, the wires are still there.
Technically, you can probably get away with not getting a permit *but* if you don't, you might run into problems if there is ever a fire or you try to sell the house. Insurance companies are notorious for finding ways to get out of paying and construction or utility work, gas and electric in particular, done without permit is a definite reason they could use to reject your claim if there were to be a fire. That said, I personally don't think the inspection by the city/county really adds that much to actual safety. I've never seen an inspector go under the house or check any junctions for leaks etc. They come out, make sure your pipes are of a minimum size and make sure they are sealed with fire chalk and then leave. Yes, it does prevent a plumber from doing a hack job but you would do better finding a good plumber to begin with. So, I would suggest getting a permit just to make sure you don't have problems down the line *but* make sure you find a good plumber with plenty of good references.

Hi everyone,
I know I'm bringing this up again, so forgive me....But:
I am having issues with highs again after POD changes. I feel like for a while there, the issue was under control, but I guess what I didn't figure out is "why" it was under control. I'm wondering if time of POD change is an issue based on what I eat for dinner that evening? I mean, I've consistenly (since I started the POD) been changing in the evenings, and as I mentioned, it wasn't an issue for a while, and now it's back....Also I do bolus prior to a change, but am wondering if I'm being too conservative due to fears of going low overnight? I usually just bolus a unit or so. Any pointers would be most appreciated :)

The Obama administration has issued an order requiring agencies to report to the Office of Management and Budget on their reviews of the long-standing and outdated regulations.
Under the Executive Order released May 10, agencies must submit draft reports on their retrospective reviews on regulations to OMB's Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs Sept. 10. From then on, agencies have to submit them on the second Monday of January and also July. Agencies must then make final reports available to the public soon afterward.
The order also directs agencies to get the public more involved in the regulatory reviews.
The new order tells agencies to attend first to those initiatives that will produce significant savings or quantifiable reductions in paperwork burdens. They should give special attention to rules governing small businesses too.
In January 2011, President Barack Obama signed an executive order requiring the retrospective review of regulations to weed out the unnecessary ones. The administration wants regulations to meet their intended results. So Obama ordered periodic reviews.
The President's Council of Economic Advisers also issued a report today on the "lookback" progress to date. It noted that agencies have identified more than 500 reforms, some of which could save more than $10 billion over the next five years.
"Smart rules can save lives and keep us safe, but there are some regulations that don't make sense and cost too much," President Obama said.

My JSF article series and Meet the Experts appearance on IBM developerWorks received a lot of feedback.
I would have to say, the most common question or feedback came along the lines of comparing Struts to JSF. I thought it would be a good idea to compare JSF to Struts by evaluating various features that an application architect would look for in a Web application framework. This article will compare specific features. Those on which I will focus include:
- Maturity
- Controller Flexibility/Event Handling
- Navigation
- Page development
- Integration
- Extensibility
Certainly, there are other places in which you might want to do a comparison, such as performance, but I'll focus on the set I just mentioned. I'll also spend more time on the Controller and Navigation sections because they are the heart of the frameworks. Performance of JSF is specific to the vendor implementation, and I always encourage people to perform their own performance tests against their own set of requirements because there are too many factors that can affect performance. A performance evaluation would be unfair. Other areas such as page layout, validation, and exception handling were also left out in the interest of saving space.
Struts has been around for a few years and has the edge on maturity. I know of several successful production systems that were built using the Struts framework. One example is the WebSphere Application Server Web-based administrative console. JavaServer Faces(JSF), however, has been in draft for 2 years. Several companies, including IBM as well as the creator of Struts, Craig McClanahan, have contributed to the creation of JSF during that time. Nonetheless, it will take some time to see a few systems deployed.
Struts definitely has the edge in this category. With JSF, however, you can rely on different levels of support depending on which implementation you choose. For example, the JSF framework inside WebSphere Studio comes with IBM support.
Controller Flexibility/Event Handling
One of the major goals of Struts was to implement a framework that utilized Sun's Model 2 framework and reduced the common and often repetitive tasks in Servlet and JSP development. The heart of Struts is the Controller. Struts uses the Front Controller Pattern and Command Pattern. A single servlet takes a request, translates HTTP parameters into a Java ActionForm, and passes the ActionForm into a Struts Action class, which is a command. The URI denotes which Action class to go to. The Struts framework has one single event handler for the HTTP request. Once the request is met, the Action returns the result back to the front controller, which then uses it to choose where to navigate next. The interaction is demonstrated in Figure 1.
JSF uses the Page Controller Pattern. Although there is a single servlet every faces request goes through, the job of the servlet is to receive a faces page with components. It will then fire off events for each component and render the components using a render toolkit. The components can also be bound to data from the model. The faces life-cycle is illustrated in Figure 2.
JSF is the winner in this area, because it adds many benefits of a front controller, but at the same time gives you the flexibility of the Page Controller. JSF can have several event handlers on a page while Struts is geared to one event per request. In addition, with Struts, your ActionForms have to extend Struts classes, creating another layer of tedious coding or bad design by forcing your model to be ActionForms. JSF, on the other hand, gives developers the ability to hook into the model without breaking layering. In other words, the model is still unaware of JSF.
Navigation is a key feature of both Struts and JSF. Both frameworks have a declarative navigation model and define navigation using rules inside their XML configuration file. There are 2 types of navigation: static navigation - when one page flows directly to the next; and dynamic navigation - when some action or logic determines which page to go to.
Both JSF and Struts currently support both types of navigation.
Struts uses the notion of forwards to define navigation. Based on some string, the Struts framework decides which JSP to forward to and render. You can define a forward by creating an Action as shown in the snippet below.
<action path="/myForward" forward="/target.jsp"> </action>
Struts supports dynamic forwarding by defining a forward specifically on an Action definition. Struts allows an Action to have multiple forwards.
<action-mappings> <action name="myForm" path="/myACtion" scope="request" type="strutsnav.actions.MyAction"> <forward name="success" path="./target.jsp"> </forward> <forward name="error" path="./error.jsp"> </forward> </action> </action-mappings>
Developers can then programmatically choose which forward to return.
public ActionForward execute( ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception { ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors(); ActionForward forward = new ActionForward(); // return value MyForm myForm = (MyForm) form; try { // do something here } catch (Exception e) { // Report the error using the appropriate name and ID. errors.add("name", new ActionError("id")); forward = mapping.findForward("success"); return (forward); } forward = mapping.findForward("success"); return (forward); }
JSF Static Navigation
JSF supports navigation by defining navigation rules in the faces configuration file. The example below shows a navigation rule defining how one page goes to the next.
<navigation-rule> <from-view-id>/FromPage.jsp</from-view-id> <navigation-case> <from-outcome>success</from-outcome> <to-view-id>/ToPage.jsp</to-view-id> </navigation-case> </navigation-rule>
However, unlike Struts, JSF navigation is applied on the page level and can be action-independent. The action is hard coded into the component allowing for finer grain control on the page. You can have various components on the page define different actions sharing the same navigation rule.
<hx:commandExButton type="submit" value="Submit"
styleClass="commandExButton" id="button1" action="success" />
JSF also supports dynamic navigation by allowing components go to an action handler.
<hx:commandExButton type="submit" value="Submit"
styleClass="commandExButton" id="button1" action="#
{pc_FromPage.doButton1Action}" />
Developers can then code action handlers on any class to make the dynamic navigation decision.
public String doButton1Action() { return "success"; }
Even though navigation rules don't need to specify the action in order to support dynamic navigation, JSF allows you to define the action on the navigation rule if you so choose. This allows you to force a specific navigation rule to go through an action.
<navigation-rule> <from-view-id>/FromPage.jsp</from-view-id> <navigation-case> <from-action>#{pc_FromPage.doButton1Action}</from-action> <from-outcome>success</from-outcome> <to-view-id>/ToPage.jsp</to-view-id> </navigation-case> </navigation-rule>
Both Struts and JSF are pretty flexible from a navigation stand point, but JSF allows for a more flexible approach and a better design because the navigation rule is decoupled from the Action. Struts forces you to hook into an action, either by a dummy URI or an action class. In addition, it is easier in JSF to have one page with various navigation rules without having to code a lot of if-else logic.
Page Development
JSF was built with a component model in mind to allow tool developers to support RAD development. Struts had no such vision. Although the Struts framework provides custom libraries to hook into Action Forms and offers some helper utilities, it is geared toward a JSP- and HTTP-centric approach. SF provides the ability to build components from a variety of view technologies and does it in such a way to be toolable. JSF, therefore, is the winner in this area.
Struts was designed to be model neutral, so there is no special hooks into a model layer. There are a view reflection-based copy utilities, but that's it. Usually, page data must be moved from an Action Form into another Model input format and requires manual coding. The ActionForm class, provides an extra layer of tedious coding and state transition.
JSF, on the other hand, hides the details of any data inside the component tree. Rich components such as data grids can be bound to any Java class. This allows powerful RAD development, such as the combination of JSF and SDO. I will discuss this further in future articles.
Both Struts and JSF provides opportunities to extend the framework to meet expanding requirements. The main hook for Struts is a RequestProcessor class that has various callback methods throughout the life-cycle of a request. A developer can extend this class to replace or enhance the framework.
JSF provides equivalent functionality by allowing you to extend special life-cycle interfaces. In addition, JSF totally decouples the render phase from the controller allowing developers to provide their own render toolkits for building custom components. This is one of the powerful features in JSF that Struts does not provide. JSF clearly has the advantage in this area.
In general, JSF is a much more flexible framework, but this is no accident. Struts is a sturdy framework and works well. JSF was actually able to learn a great deal from Struts projects. I see JSF becoming a dominant framework because of its flexible controller and navigation. Furthermore, JSF is built with integration and extensibility in mind. If you are starting a new project today, you'd have to consider many factors. If you have an aggressive schedule with not much time to deal with evaluating different vendors or dealing with support for new JSF implementations, Struts may be the way to go. But from a strategic direction and programming model, JSF should be the target of new applications. I encourage developers to take time to learn JSF and begin using them for new projects. In addition, I would consider choosing JSF vendors based on component set and RAD tools. JSF isn't easier than Struts when developing by hand, but using a RAD JSF tool like WebSphere Studio can greatly increase your productivity.

of course some of shine`s abilitys such as " it is SERVICE ORIENTED , working with AJAX in shine is easy , support MVC and shine is easy to use " is demonstrator a powerful framework,
however I belive shine will be a good frame work in future. but for now, it `s not a confident j2ee frame work.
This text is only my Idea and if some one have any proof unlike my idea , his/her can discuss it.
|Jan Naude 01/16/08 10:55:10 AM EST
Relating to Doug Smith's question:
Doug, I think you misunderstand MVC. The components are:
Model (data retrieved/manipulated by business rules)
The idea with MVC is not to mix business logic (i.e. Servlets/Struts actions) and presentation logic (jsp/html) in the same artifacts (components), because then you end up not being able to replace/change one without having to replace/change the other.

it would be nice to redo this comparison TODAY in 2007 and see what comes out. Struts2 has really added a ton to their side and JSF components have matured.
I would like to see a modern comparison- as there does not seem to be one.

Friends, this is going to sound like a really dumb question, but I am asking in all sincerity.
While I understand the arguments to separate view (screen) from model (database & rules) & control (keyboard), I'm not sure I understand why I need Struts or JSF to do this. I can put code a View as a JSP, interact with the Model using Javabeans, and exercise Control using HTML or JSP directives.
What exactly are the benefits using either Struts or JSF? The cost is obvious - another set of things to learn and configure.
(Asked by a solo practitioner who doesn't work with graphic designers).
|David Thirakul 10/18/04 04:31:52 PM EDT
Very interesting article, thank you. We are currently working extensively with Struts for the presentation layer and are watching the progress of JSF with much interest because it seems to be the way to go in the long term. There is no doubt that JSF will take over as McClanahan stated himself when he was talking about migrating to JSF.
|Roland Barcia 10/01/04 08:31:42 PM EDT
Thanks for the feedback. Craig has a vested interest in both frameworks. There are features in Struts that compliment JSF like Tiles and the Validation framework. But just because they have some areas where they can work together does not mean I cannot compare them both. In this article, I focus on the Core of the frameworks and how they differ. I see very little benefit with the current Struts implementation to mix the Struts controller with the JSF components.
