Apache:

Place mod_jk.so file in <apache_home>/modules dir.
Instruct apache to load the file vis httpd.conf

LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.so

Locate the file path of mod_jk.conf to apache via httpd.conf file

Include [file path]

change the <directory> tag entries
Host entry in extra/vhost.conf


Tomcat:

Place the following in server.xml

<listener className = "org.apache,jk.config.ApacheConfig"
modJk= "[mod_jk.so file location]"
workersConfig = "[workers.properties file location]"
jkLog = "[user defined location]"
jkDebug = "info" />


Add the following under <host> tag
<listener className = "org.apache.jk.config.ApacheConfig"
append="true" jkWorker="ajp13 [any name as in worker.properties]" />

This is an wonderful API for importing contacts from your mail. This API supports almost all known email providers, CMS and social networks.

More over this is an Open Source package. This is implemented in PHP. So to deploy this Apache is enough.

I am working with TOMCAT container. I don't have much knowledge about apache server.
But for me it took a vary small time to integrate OpenInviter with my application.

Your apache should have Php DOM extension & curl modules. This application need this two support from your web server.

I followed all the instructions given in the package. But it not worked in my server.

So i did the following changes in config.php

$openinviter_settings=array(
'username'=>"xxxxxxxxx",[Your_OpenInviter_Username]
'private_key'=>"xyxyxyxyxyyxyxyxyxyxyxyxyyxyx", [Your_OpenInviter_Private Key]
'cookie_path'=>"/tmp",
'message_body'=>"", [I'll get this from user]
'message_subject'=>"My Mail",
'transport'=>"curl",
'local_debug'=>"on_error",
'remote_debug'=>"",
'hosted'=>"",
'proxies'=>array(),
'stats'=>"",
'plugins_cache_time'=>"1800",
'plugins_cache_file'=>"oi_plugins.php",
'update_files'=>"1",
'stats_user'=>"",
'stats_password'=>""
);
?>

According to the statistics given by various organizations and corporates, total population if IT field in India will raise up to 20%. In this 20% the major portion will be filled by campus recruitment and by freshers (including 1+).

So guys prepare for war. It won't be a smooth ground for us...

72 percent of Indian employees say that they are passionate about their jobs when their skills and abilities are put to good use; the company supports work/life balance; they have confidence in the company's future; they have the opportunity to improve their skills; and they are recognized for their work.

Employees in Brazil (63 percent), Canada (60 percent), and the United States and Germany (59 percent) report the most passion followed by those in Saudi Arabia and Russia (58 percent). Workers in Japan (41 percent) are the least likely to feel passionate. With Valentine's Day right around the corner, the Kenexa Research Institute (KRI), a division of Kenexa, a global provider of business solutions for human resources, conducted a survey on "What makes an employee passionate about his/her job?" which says that globally, 56 percent of surveyed employees feel passionate about their jobs.

Having passion for one's job is defined by the extent to which employees are excited about their work, feel a sense of personal accomplishment, are extremely satisfied with their organization, believe they have a future at their organization, and rarely think about finding a new job. Also, the intensity to which employees are passionate about their jobs varies among different jobs types. In India, clerical workers (77 percent) report the most passion for their jobs followed by supervisors (76 percent), senior/middle managers (74 percent), salespeople (72 percent) and professional/technical workers (70 percent). Service and production workers (64 percent) report the least amount of passion.

Brenda Kowske, research consultant, Kenexa Research Institute, said, "Similar to romantic passion, workers won't put up with a miserable relationship for long. As the economic outlook continues to improve, it would behoove leaders to 'play cupid.' Elevating an employee's passion for his/her job will keep employees happy and committed, even when other attractive opportunities come their way."

In JSF, user defined error message can be displayed for validation.

The standard error messages that are shown for each type of validation error are controlled by the Message.properties file.
This file is placed in jsf-impl.jar.

jsf-impl.jar > javax.faces > Message.properties

We can create our own property file and use it in our application.
Eg :

javax.faces.component.UIInput.REQUIRED={0}: Validation Error: Value is required.

javax.faces.component.UIInput.REQUIRED= This field should have value.

Include your file in faces-config.xml.

 <application>
    <locale-config>
        <default-locale> en </default-locale>
    </locale-config>
    <message-bundle> your.package.MyMessages </message-bundle>
</application>

Using constructor in bean class will make all the references from faces-config.xml to null.
This throws the exception.

But for some bean constructor in necessary for initialization.

This problem can be avoided by using @PostConstruct annotation.

Eg:

public MyBean(){
someMethod();
}
the above constructor can be replaced by

@PostConstruct
public void myBeanMethod(){
someMethod();
}

The method defined with this annotation will be called immediately after finishing the construction of Bean object.

Note : This annotation won't works in JSF 1.1
