Java – First time use of Tomcat and the Stripes framework

javastripestomcatxampp

I recently decided to try some java web development, so I installed xampp, the tomcat add-on, and java. I have looked at some of the JSP page examples that came with it, so I know that tomcat is at least working. However when I threw the stripes folder into the same examples directory and tried to access the files I received the following error.

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: The
absolute uri:
http://stripes.sourceforge.net/stripes.tld
cannot be resolved in either web.xml
or the jar files deployed with this
application

Now, I am a complete beginner when it comes to using tomcat or jsp pages in general. I may have missed some trivially easy step. I have searched the web for a few hours and I haven't found a very good tutorial on how to set up and start using the stripes framework. So let me know if you have any input or links to help me resolve this issue and get started coding.

Take a look at Quick Start Guide for Stripes. There is also a sample app included as part of Stripes download.

Note that you have to deploy that sample app as web application in Tomcat (e.g. copy war file to Tomcat's webapps folder), you can't just "throw stripes folder" into 'examples'.

Java – What are the differences between a HashMap and a Hashtable in Java

There are several differences between HashMap and Hashtable in Java:

Hashtable is synchronized, whereas HashMap is not. This makes HashMap better for non-threaded applications, as unsynchronized Objects typically perform better than synchronized ones.
Hashtable does not allow null keys or values. HashMap allows one null key and any number of null values.
One of HashMap's subclasses is LinkedHashMap, so in the event that you'd want predictable iteration order (which is insertion order by default), you could easily swap out the HashMap for a LinkedHashMap. This wouldn't be as easy if you were using Hashtable.

Since synchronization is not an issue for you, I'd recommend HashMap. If synchronization becomes an issue, you may also look at ConcurrentHashMap.

The official tutorial may be of some use to you.

	Class	Package	Subclass (same pkg)	Subclass (diff pkg)	World
`public`	+	+	+	+	+
`protected`	+	+	+	+
no modifier	+	+	+
`private`	+

+ : accessible
blank : not accessible
