Be aware that there will be touts everywhere and perhaps when you least expect it. Some examples: tuk tuk drivers telling you not to walk as it is very dangerous especially for women dressed as they are (Jeans and jumper); people who have recently lived in your country and want to practise the language; people on holiday and they just happen to know of a department store we might like.

Paharganj - good and bad
The Main Bazaar in Paharganj can be a Tourist Trap. Many vendors on both sides of the narrow road wants to sell you something, and it can feel very stressfull for a first timer. I do not warn people from coming here, because it can be a great place for shopping, budget accomodation and to get in contact with other travellers.
"You have a nice T-shirt! Where did you by?" is a very common opening from the vendors.
If you answer this question you are easily involved in more fabric talk...
Unique Suggestions: The solution is to not get stressed, be happy and smile but not to much if you are really interessed in the Pashmina shawls... And if you just want to walk trough do not look them in the eye.
Fun Alternatives: An alternative for Paharganj depens on what you're after.
Accomodation=Connaught Place.
Shopping=Connaught Place, Palika Bazaar, Janpath Market.

Tour guides, touts
I have mentioned before on my agra tips page but would like to cover this area again, especially for anyone readign this thinking of going to india or already booked or already here (welcome!) PLEASE be careful with your money in India- it may not seem like a lot when you convert it into your own currency but it means something different for Indians, especially those who are in the business to show tourists around etc. Think logically about the prices you are being offered; does it look like XYZ product being bought IN INDIA should cost so much? or why does it cost so little...what is the quality of the product, what materials have been used, how was this made..and then decide whether the price is fair.
Always remember you can haggle in most places where there are no prices on display, please dont try and bargain in propper shops that have prices printed on the goods- we find it a bit insulting.
Unique Suggestions: If you are being shown around by a guide who wants to take you to a shop he will probably receive a comission from the shop owner. dont feel that this is rude, thats just his business to do that and promote the other guys stuff.
be a little patient. if his english is bad, ask him to speak slowly.
Fun Alternatives: alternative would be to get a local person to show you around, someone who you can understand and who can suggest other things to go/see/do....maybe ask at the hotel - ask the receptionist to advise you...check places like this website regularly!
it is not a trap but you have to know there is a lot of meticulous system in getting inside this wonderful edifice and everything is being done for your own safety.
IMP pl do carry a lot of mosquito repellent as the area is awamped with mosquitoes after dusk.the area is close to yamuna river and is very marshy.
Unique Suggestions: there is a form which you have to fill out listing out the things you want to deposit at the office.
bags mobilephones cameras are not allowed inside.it is in a way good as sometimes the touristy crowd wastes most of the time taking snaps rather than admiring the beauty of this palce. there is afood court and cafeterias offering good hygienic food inside and you can spend quite some time here.
the deposit system is very safe.
see the pic of the form in advance so u know what u have to fill up.
morning the temple opens very early before sunrise and it looks beautiful in the early morning light also you can properly see the gardens and layouts and intricacies of carvings in daylight.
afternoons best avoided due to scorching sun.
evenings best time to see the illumination and the interiors of the temple.
Fun Alternatives: no shortcuts here.
alternative is to avoid sat and sunday evenings.
try the early morning times.especially if you have a friend in delhi ask him to drive you out there!!!!persist with this demand)))

Tour companies, such as Kapi Tours, have a hidden
Many tourist who plan to visit India ask for quotes (on line) from tour companies to travel to places like Agra and Jaipur. Some companies will quote attractive prices, and will insist on giving you a "free" ride from/to airport. Once you are in the car, they will tell you all kinds of lies about the hotel you have booked to get you to stay at the one where they get a commission. Some tour companies, like Kapi Tours, will even try to get you to stay at one of their small shabby apartments they run. If you tell them that you already have paid for your hotel, they will tell you there is no problem to cancel (they will offer to do it for you, but do not believe them) for just a small cancellation fee that they say they will deduct from the rate of their recommended hotel room. Later, you will find out that your room at the hotel you had booked was never cancelled, ending up paying for a room you do not use.
Unique Suggestions: The best way to avoid this is not to accept their "free" transport from the hotel (just tell them that you have made arrangements with your hotel or a friend is picking you up). They will still could show up and even try to tell you the hotel could not provide transport (or they misunderstood and they will be following you like dogs in heat). Just go to the taxi stand a get a prepaid ticket for taxi transport to your destination!
Autorickshaws: make them do what YOU want
The drivers earn more by bringing you to their shops or tourist offices then they will by transporting you to your destination. (If you have bargained a good price they will even offer you a free transfer if you go to their shop)
Unique Suggestions: - If possible, buy a map in advance in your home country. Always follow the route while driving (or pretend), you can't read the street names at the corners of the road but they appear on the advertisement signs on most of the buildings.
- Never say you want to visit some shops at a certain location or one of the state shops. Choose the nearest big tourist building or temple and let them drop you off at that point. These buildings are more easily recognizable. This will save you money because they will trick you.
- In the official tourist offices you can get a map for free. If the driver drops you at a "official" one just walk in, ask a free map and just walk out. The "not so" official ones will not give you a decent map. I went to Government of India Tourist Office at Janpath road near the Connaught Place. There is a pre-paid autorickshaw boot in front of it. Therefore it is better to ask (convince) a driver to bring you to this boot at Janpath (not the one in the center of the Connaught place).
- They will always ask you why you want to go to this place and not another. Do not give in (If you want, you can tell them you are meeting a friend there).

high prices for tour groups!
Our tour with Hi Tours booked through Indus Travel of Canada included a stop at a "special" carpet factory in New Delhi. There's a demonstration, then the offer of beer, tea, or soda, then the hard sell of very overpriced carpets. If you want a carpet in New Delhi go to Central Cottage Industries Emporium(beware other shops with very similar names) to get a good combination of quality and price. Anywhere the tour guide takes you is sure to be overpriced - kickback to the guide/tour operator?
Unique Suggestions: Know what items of comparable quality cost in government-run emporia. In New Delhi the best for me is Central Cottage Industries Emporium, though there are branches of state-run emporia such as Rajasthali.
A gentleman might walk up to you in a very friendly manner and offer you cheap rates and hotels to stay. These guys are called touts and take commissions or kickbacks from operators and hotels.
NEVER follow them coz even the locals don't trust them.
You will encounter these people through out at airports, hotels, markets and tourist places.
Unique Suggestions: Whatever he is offering tell them you already have arranged for it, for them to understand in their local language hindi, say
If they still persist keep walking and they will realise you are not interested and he is not gonna get much out of you.
Porters at the Airport
Suddenly a man would walk up to your baggage trolley as you are out of the lounge to help you unload your luggage. These guys are self styled porters and you can politely tell them that you don't need their help, coz after loading your luggage they would ask you for money.
Unique Suggestions: If he has already unloaded and kept your luggage in the Taxi, atmost give him Rs.10 and tell him to go away.
Beware of autowallas
You will find autos in every nook and corner,they usually over charge you pls check with locals how much you need to pay ,bargain with them coz as soon as they know you are new to this place you are fleeced......
Unique Suggestions: check with local people how much to pay......
Hairdressers in Pahar Ganj - way too cheeky
During our stay in India I always enjoyed going to local barber shops since their services are extremely cheap compared to European standards AND they do their jobs very nicely and thoroughly. However, in tourist-infested areas (like Pahar Ganj in New Delhi) be prepared to find hairdressers that are keen to part you from your cash. After the hair cut you will be talked into having facial mask, massage, etc. and at the end of the 2-hour-session you will be asked for Rs. 400.- Of course, at that time it is impossible (or very impolite) to haggle since you have already taken the service.
It is still not a lot of money but can be called a ripoff. In other parts of India (in places that are not packed with western tourists) you will get the same full treatment for Rs. 100.- or Rs. 50.- if you only have a simple haircut.
Fun Alternatives: 1) Go to hairdressers at areas that are not frequented by many western tourists.
2) If you insist on having only a haircut and you turn down their offer about extras, (massage, facial mask) they are less likely to overcharge you.
3) If you feel like you want to have a full "treatment package" let them know in advance that you have only 100/200 Rs.- for that so that you will not get a bad surprise at the end.

"The little helpers"
Unique Suggestions: On another trip When I took my receipt for the PRE-PAID FARE, the cab driver and I started walking towards his cab. At the same time when I left the window of the fare-shack two other young kids about 17-18 yrs old started walking with us with their hands on my luggage cart. When I asked them are you guys with the driver they simply nodded. When I and the driver (who actually shook one the guys pretty badly) were done putting away our luggage in the cab, the guys asked for some money for helping me. A bit surprised when I asked them who the hell are you any way, they said we helped you to bring your luggage to the cab so you have to pay us. At that time I lost my cool and told them, "you mo___fo___s, if I can bring my bloody luggage all the way from 9,000 miles I think I can very well bring it from the fare-shack to the cab", and got in the cab. They tried to say something, but we were on my way home after I had escaped successfully from another well laid trap.
Fun Alternatives: Refuse any offers of help, except by the cabbie who is supposed to take you for a ride :).

I am going to talk about the International Airport at New Delhi. First and foremost as soon as you get out of the customs, DO NOT, I REPEAT - DO NOT BOOK A CAB FROM THE COUNTER INSIDE THE AIRPORT. They are big time cheats and I don't know how in the world they are ripping people off under the full view of the officials. I suspect either they have the connections or some one from the airport itself has a vested interest in that business.
Unique Suggestions: TO book a cab when you get out of the airport, in a small shack on the right hand side, a police man occupies that booth. Tell him your destination and pay him required amount in rupees This is PRE-PAID TAXI FARE. Get a receipt for the amount paid. It will have the licence plate number of the cab for you. Do not give that receipt to the driver, until you reach your destination safely. You will have to sign that receipt once you have reached your destinaiton. If the driver asks for more money, tell him to get lost. Until you sign that receipt he won't get paid back at the airport. THE TRAP - I was born and brought up in New Delhi and have lived abroad for 20 years. When the driver left the airport (My pre-paid taxi cab), he pretended not to know the directions to my destination. I innocently gave him the directions. When we finally got home, he told me that he could have brought me by a much shorter route (which I knew didn't exist), so I will have to pay him extra on top of the pre-paid fare. I realized then, that it was a trap, so I told him to take the receipt and get lost, or else I am not going to sign the receipt. I told him it is his job to know the routes, not mine. And finally I jotted down his licence plate number which made him further nervous, because if I actually would have sent a written complaint, the poor guy would have ended up paying more in "bakshish" to the traffic authorites to get his vehicle back from them, than what he was trying to get from me. So LESSON NO. 1 - Get a "Pre-paid" cab from the booth which is located just outside as soon as you leave the airport. LESSON NO. 2 - If the cabbie or the Auto-rickshaw driver says his meter is not working, tell him then his vehicle should not be on the road, and write down his licence plate number and tell him that you will report him to the authorities, it does work, because not only the vehicle is confiscated, they have to pay "bakshish" plus other charges to get their vehicle back and also suffer a loss of income.

There are traps all over.
well no offence, but there are tourist traps all over. The taxi drivers, auto drivers, shop keepers, restaurents, hotels everywhere. If you don't know the actual price, they will ask you 5/6 times more for anything. If the price is 40 bucks, they will ask 200 for it. So irritating! If they find that you are a tourist, you will face this things.
Unique Suggestions: Well the only word I can say is, Burgain. Yes, u gotta burgain a lot. If they say 200, u say 80. That's the trick.
Fun Alternatives: If your are hiring an auto, ask the local people for the fare first. They can suggest you how much it should cost.
Don't pay even one Rupee/ US$ in advance
Delhi is loaded with tourist offices managed by impostors, claimed to be official governmental tourist information spots!!!
They offer fantastic tours in the north states hundreds miles away from Delhi(Srinagar in Kashmir for example, 20-30 hours by bus), and charge you in advance for hundreds of US$. You take a bus to these far away destinations expecting to meet the representative of the company.... and.....Mr NOBODY IS WAITING FOR YOU ! NOBODY!!
Unique Suggestions: Fortunately, I refused to change my plan, and didn't pay money.
In Dharamsala I met a female traveler from Taiwan that lost hundreds of US$, and even didn't go back to the croocks in Delhi. I'm afraid she didn't have invoice/ reciept and didn't know where to go and how to complain.

text: The False Bliss Of Manufactured Memory by Occurrences In Rain published on 2012-10-30T00:38:06Z Guitar, K1, Field Recordings and Various Effects - Made Using KX And Ubuntu Studios... This piece started out as a set of ambient guitar drones and leads. These were copied, with one of the copies slowed by 50%, and one left as is. These were then stacked and arranged. We then added a field recording of children playing during a school recess by Lonemonk, made available via the FreeSound project. This was stretched using Paulstretch to 4 times its original length. Next we added two field recordings of Tornado fighter jets practicing dogfighting by Benboncan, made available via the FreeSound Project. One of these was stretched using Paulstretch to 1.7 times its original length, and the other was stretched using Paulstretlch to 2 times its original length. These were then split left and right. Next we added a field recording of a lake by Klankschap, made available via the FreeSound Project. This was stretched using Paulstretch to 1.4 times its original length, then slowed by 30%. Finally we added a set of K1 drones and textures to even everything out. Comment by GTRUK a.k.a. GrumpTruck Haunting, expansive.

text: SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads) Hello all! I applied to only 2 schools( 3 technically) and was rejected from my number one choice school, which was Kean University. The other being Seton Hall, which i have yet to hear a response yet. My third application ( Ithica) was voided for incompletion of GREs , as i was unaware that Ithica required them. I am strongly considering reapplying next year, and strengthening my weaknesses for my application. I plan to work as a rehab aid for a year to gather experience in the field, and finally take the GREs to expand my horizons out of the NJ area. I was foolish to apply without GREs this year considering the growing and fierce competition of the applicant pool. Anyways, what are your plans if you do not get in this year? I thought about working for a year, and I am completely open to it since i am still relatively young. Occupational therapy is something i am very passionate about and will continue to pursue a career in, because it is my dream job.

I have a C++/CLI project that declares a String^ variable inside a for loop but does not initialize it. On the first iteration, the variable is set to some value. On each subsequent iteration, it appears to be retaining the previous value. Shouldn't a variable in local scope be initialized to null (or equivalent) each time thru the loop? This happens with an int as well. Also, the compiler does not warn of a potentially uninitialized value unless I set the warning level to W4, and even then it only warns for the int and not the String^.
This is sample code that shows the behavior.
#include "stdafx.h"
using namespace System;
int main(array<System::String ^> ^args)
for(int n = 0; n < 10; n++)
String^ variable;
int x;
case 1:
variable = "One";
x = 1;
case 5:
variable = "Five";
x = 5;
Console::WriteLine("{0}{1}", variable, x);
The output of this will be
One, 1
One, 1
One, 1
One, 1
Five, 5
Five, 5
Five, 5
Five, 5
Five, 5
Am I completely misunderstanding how locally scoped variables are supposed to be initialized? Is this a "feature" unique to managed C++? If I convert this to C# the compiler will warn about both variables, even at the base warning level.

Hi, i use a professional theme from eleganttheme (it's not advertising, it's just for information).
I've done a partial translation in italian, so i decided to move the .mo and .po files to a child theme for a better handling.
Now, i've added a simple functions.php, with this code, in the child theme dir:
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'child_theme_language' );
function child_theme_language() {
load_child_theme_textdomain("MYTEXTDOMAIN", get_stylesheet_directory() . '/lang');
obviously, MYTEXTDOMAIN is the same of the parent theme.
So, here comes the strangeness:
If i reload my site, the translation correctly apply, but if i want to edit in Codestyling Localization plugin, it doesn't show up.
And now, more strangeness:
if I create a empty file named A.php (all caps) and i upload in the child theme root folder, VOILA! the child theme shows up in the plugin. If I rename A.php in a.php (lowercase), the child theme vanishes again.
So, the plugin needs a file whose name start in uppercase character.


text: Stayed in a 2 Bedroom apartment. Well maintained and a very safe place to stay. Close to great shopping malls and even attractions like Darling Harbor and Sydney Opera House are not too far. Lots of restaurants and bars in the vicinity too. The only drawback is the check-out time of 10 am. Probably this can be increased to 12 pm since check-in does not start before 2pm. I would probably chose this place again.

Know Your Local Government Booklet and Webguide
Newly updated for 2015!! The League released the products of its two-year study of local governments. Both a booklet and webguide were produced. The booklet summarizes the core concepts and basic structures of our local governments in a convenient format. The webguide extends that with an in-depth look at many of our local units of government.

The League Guide to Elected Officials
The League has published the Guide to the Elected Officials for Lafayette Parish Voters, the only comprehensive source of its kind. It includes all the Louisiana officials who are elected, in whole or part, by the citizens of the parish. The Guide is presented in both html (for online reading) and pdf (for printing) formats.
Current Activities:
The League's study focusing on the potential of the Lafayette fiber project continues. League participation in the Communty Coalition for Lafayette Public Schools, which followed the League's previous study project "Everybody's Schools," remains a priority.
The League study projects are at the heart of the local League. Our studies take the point of view of the community; they are not associated with any special interest beyond local citizenship. The League members' engagement in a thorough and dispassionate exploration of local issues that seldom get such concentrated attention is one of the unique contributions of the League to its community.
The League's "Everybody's Schools"
The League School Facility Study, "Everybody's Schools," remains an active topic in Lafayette's civic and political conversation. The League continues its participation in advisory councils and makes presentations about the study in community forums. You can schedule a League speaker by email.
Of Interest: The Community Coalition for Lafayette Schools has produced its report following up the school facility issues initially addressed by the League's "Everybody's Schools." That valuable report, "State of our Schools," is availble online.
As always, public participation is encouraged and potential members welcome!

2015 RFA Predoc Training Program (PDF)
The Nutrition Obesity Research Center (NORC) at the University of Alabama at Birmingham announces the availability of pre-doctoral fellowships funded through the NIH T32 grant (T32HL105349) awarded by the Heart, Lung and Blood Disease Institute (NHLBI). The funds from this grant may be used only for US Citizens or permanent residents. In very rare cases we are able to identify additional funds for the exceptional applicant who is neither a US Citizen nor permanent resident, but this is a rarity.
Positions entail working collaboratively with an interdisciplinary group of scientists. The NORC studies virtually all aspects of obesity ranging from molecular biology to epidemiology. Investigators include molecular biologists, physicians, psychologists, statisticians, physiologists, epidemiologists, and nutritionists. Faculty mentors include:

... Catholics doing an act of penance on the last Sunday in July. The rest of the summer it's just popular with ordinary hikers. I started my hike just after our arrival but a rather late 6:00 in the evening, probably not too late to make it to the top but too late to do so if I were going to go back into Westport with John for dinner.

The most enjoyable thing to do here has been sit back and enjoy the stunning panoramas that surround us. Due to the continued job-hunting, it has meant we need to spend a lot of time in pubs on the laptop, but the sun has remained and meant the time we spend outside has been amazing.
We will depart tomorrow to head south and ever closer to the end of this leg of our journey.

Ce commentaire est de: Live At The Harlem Square Club, 1963 (Audio CD)
This cd takes you back to a fun live gig that Sam did in the 60's. His hits are here as well as Sam interacting with the crowd. You really get the flair for being there for this show. The sound production and liner notes are great and give you background on Sam and this reissue. The mark of a sweet cd is when you put it on and time just disapears. A must have for your cd collection if you like real music that has lasted.

Franklin — The Federation of Croatian Societies will celebrate its annual Croatian Fest this weekend, July 19-20.
The Federation of Croatian Societies has been celebrating this festival at the Croatian Park, located at 9100 S. 76th Street, in July for more than 50 years, said John Braovac, federation president.
"Our guests often tell us that they love the authentic atmosphere of a Croatian celebration with great food and drink, live Croatian music and being able to enjoy it with family and friends in a park environment," Braovac said.
The fest begins Saturday at the Croatian Park, from 5 to 10:30 p.m. Admission is free Saturday, and grilled food items will be available.
Sunday's festivities begin at 10 a.m. and last until 9 p.m. Admission is $3, which includes something new this year.
"We are giving a free drink ticket that is good for a tap beer, soda or water with a minimum of two nonperishable food items that will be donated to the Hunger Task Force," Braovac said.
Visitors can also earn a free drink ticket by sharing their contact information with the federation or by donating a minimum of $5 to help Croatian flood victims. The offer is limited to one free drink ticket per guest.
A Croatian Mass will be held at 11 a.m., followed by a cultural program at 2 p.m. Dinner will include roasted lamb, pork, chicken and other grilled food items.
Rakija Bend, a Croatian band based out of Chicago, will perform both Saturday and Sunday.
"I really enjoy the fact that a lot of people use the Fest as an opportunity for families and friends to gather together who normally don't get to see each other throughout the year," Braovac said.

"This card turned out beautifully. The edge-cut option made it stand out, the simple yet distinctive lettering drew just the right amount of attention to the text without distracting from the picture, which we wanted to be the focal point of the card. I wished the back side had allowed for a somewhat bigger single photo with a brief caption (the year, maybe), but that wasn't one of the options and it wasn't a dealbreaker for me."
"Tiny Prints has provided great customer service and consistent phenomenal quality whenever we order our family invitations or cards. I continue to use this company for all my stationary needs again and again!"
"I wanted the card that said Joy & Cheer, but could only make New Year Cheer come up. That was fine and we love the card."
"The combination of the black card with Tiny Prints' text, paper, and edge recommendations added to the elegance of this card. Kept it simple with 1 photo on the front, and 1 small photo on the back, as to not overshadow the beautiful card design. Extremely pleased with the quality, design, and customization."
"The tinyprints website made choosing the card and all the details quick and painless. Cards are perfect! We did not go with the scalloped edges as shown here. Love the backing. Received before the date that they had stated! Will do again next year :-)"

Eat (Not-So) Fresh
Thanks to the Internet, the gag-inducing food pranks carried out by workers in popular restaurants have been brought to light, bringing a whole new meaning to the adage "you are what you eat." — Britt Middleton
On Instagram, an Ohio Subway employee recently posted a shot of his co-worker rubbing his penis across foot long bread along with the caption, "My name is @ianjett and I will be your sandwich artist today." Attempting to clear up his actions, "sandwich artist" Ian Jett told the Huffington Post that while it was him in the photo, "I would never do that at work -- it was at home. This isn't something I'd ever do at Subway. It was totally a joke." (Photo: Instagram via IanJett)

An exceptionally rare cushion-shaped 'fancy' vivid pink diamond - the largest ever of its kind to go to auction - is expected to fetch up to a whopping US$ 28 million.
The talks come as part of a blitz of diplomatic activity under mediation of the U.N. special envoy for Libya, Bernardino Leon.
The transiting super-Earth has a density similar to the Earth's. It is by far the closest transiting planet known today, researchers said.
The statement was a response to a recent discussion of North Korean rights violations at the Human Rights Council in Geneva.
Geneva-based IOM said that financially struggling Greece has reported 134,988 arrivals from Turkey this year, while Italy recorded 93,540 newcomers by July end.
The WTO also said in its revised forecast Wednesday that volatile financial markets and US monetary policy have clouded the outlook.
Up to 3,000 people are expected to cross into Macedonia every day in coming months, led by Syrians fleeing their war-torn homeland and surrounding countries.
At the same time, some 2,980 people have perished or disappeared trying to make the perilous journey, the UN's refugee agency said.

A columnist still haunted by her past mistakes hesitates to accept the love of a good man until one of her loyal readers offers some sage advice. Peyton MacGruder (Genie Francis) may have all the answers for everyone else, but when it comes to her own love life she simply can't commit to the man she loves (Ted McGinley). When a reader warns Peyton not to deny her own passion, the sleuthing columnist discovers that her adviser was involved in a doomed romance. But if there's still hope for her reader, perhaps there's still hope for Peyton as well. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

In this article I'll show you how to develop and deploy a JSP Web application with WTP in less than an hour. I'll also cover the creation and deployment of a basic servlet and editing JSP with WTP. Let's develop the WTP application together but, first, we need to install the following software:
- J2SE 5.0 JRE: http://java.sun.com/j2se
- Eclipse 3.1: www.eclipse.org
- WTP 0.7.1: www.eclipse.org/webtools
- Tomcat 5.0: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/
- MySQL 4.0.25: www.mysql.com
- MySQL Connector/J Driver 3.1: www.mysql.com/products/connector/j/
Application Overview
Our application will be a basic Web application implementing the following use cases:
- Customers need to register on the site to place orders.
- Customers can place orders.
- Customers can view their orders.
- Admin can list all registered customers.
The system will be implemented using a servlet programming model and MySQL database.
Configuring MySQL Database and the Data Source
By default, when MySQL gets installed, a TEST database is available. Be sure to launch C:\Mysql\winmysqladmin.exe to specify the user name and password (the first time you launch it, it lets you do it and also starts the database server). It's necessary to copy MySQL Connector/J JDBC Driver: mysql-connector-java-3.1.10-bin.jar to the Tomcat/common/lib directory, so the Tomcat server can recognize it.
To configure MySQL database access in Tomcat, we have to add a separate file called Listing 1: DBTest.xml; the file follows a convention of "application_name.xml" under $TOMCAT\conf\catalina\localhost directory. The only problem with this file is that it may get deleted when the application is undeployed, so if you undeploy and redeploy the application, you have to place this file into the same folder again (so it's a good idea to save it somewhere else). Looking inside the DBTest.xml file, please note that in our case we are using "ODBC" for the username and don't provide any password.
Building Our Web Application Using Web Tools and a Database
Before we can start working on the Web project, we must configure Tomcat 5.0 in Eclipse to be our default server. When Web Tools are installed in Eclipse, new perspectives and options are added, such as a J2EE perspective where you can create J2EE projects, Web projects, and Web services. New options are available under the Window-Preferences menu for configuring Tomcat servers with Eclipse. Go to Window - Preferences menu, under Server select - Installed Runtimes, click Add, and then specify Tomcat 5.0 server with the installed JRE and a path to the Tomcat installation directory (see Figure 1). Now create a Dynamic Web Project using the Web Tools wizard by selecting File-New-Other, then expanding Web-Dynamic Web Project.
We'll name the project DBTest, which will also become its context root. The Web module will be targeted to our default server: Tomcat. Click Finish and the DBTest Web project gets created. This project will contain all of our Web resources, such as HTML and JSP files, and servlets, and you'll be able to export it into a standard WAR file later, if needed.
Creating Supporting Domain Classes and Tables
Before creating servlets, let's create supporting classes to represent a customer and an order. The class diagram in Figure 2 depicts the Customer and Order relationship.
Note that when creating Customer and Order classes, we define corresponding fields as their public instance variables and then can automatically generate getters and setters from those fields. This can be easily done by going to Outline view (appears after you double-click on an existing class name or create a new class), selecting a class, and selecting "Source - Generate Getters and Setters..." from the right-button menu (see Figure 3).
Along with the classes, we'd have to create corresponding database tables in a MySQL database:
Creating Database Command Classes
We'll create a special package with classes that implement a Command design pattern to perform necessary database updates. The Command pattern allows the classes to implement the common interface executing some particular command. Examples of the Command pattern in Java would be classes that implement the ActionListener interface with the actionPerformed() method. Our Command pattern interface for database integration is presented in Listing 2.
Classes implementing this command will be performing the actual database operations for reading and inserting rows into customer and order tables. The following use cases will be addressed:
- Customers want to register on the site in order to place orders (a new row is created in the customer table)
- Customers can place the order (the order gets created in the database for a particular customer)
- Customers can view the orders they have placed
- Admin can list all the customers
Based on these use cases, the following classes have implemented the DatabaseCommand interface (see Listings 3-6):
public class CreateCustomer implements DatabaseCommand
public class CreateOrder implements DatabaseCommand
public class ListCustomers implements DatabaseCommand
public class ListCustomerOrders implements DatabaseCommand
Finally, in order to execute our command classes, we will need to create a class that would access the database datasource, obtain a SQL connection, and then execute a particular database command. This class will implement a Singleton design pattern, which we'll call CommandExecutor:
Object o = CommandExecutor.getInstance().executeDatabaseCommand
(<<instance of the particular database command class goes here>>).
The CommandExecutor class will perform the datasource lookup as follows:
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
Context envCtx = (Context) ctx.lookup("java:comp/env");
ds = (DataSource) envCtx.lookup("jdbc/TestDB");
This finds the reference to the data-source we have defined in DBTest.xml by resolving its reference in a Web deployment descriptor (web.xml), which we'll define in a section below. Listing 7 has the complete code of the Command Executor class.

Hello Sir,
|Serge Cambour 09/25/07 06:38:15 AM EDT
It would be really a very good article or a tutorial if the author had tested it himself before posting it. I don't even talk of missing details, classes, code mistakes, ets. that make you loose any wish to continue.
|Keith Freeman 07/15/06 10:32:01 PM EDT
Well, this seems like a fantastic tutorial, until suddenly the "CreateCustomerServlet" description morphs into a "ListCustomersServlet". We're left to figure out how to finish the servlets ourselves (still in progress for me), since as others point out here a bunch of code is missing from the zip file download. VERY disappointing after such a strong start.
|David Paules 05/24/06 04:04:22 PM EDT
Good introduction article. Unfortunately, it's not clear where the database connection file DBTest.xml should reside when running Tomcat under Eclipse. Where does this file or it's content go in the Dynamic Web project tree? Because of this, I get an error message at debug time:
javax.servlet.ServletException: Cannot create JDBC driver of class '' for connect URL 'null'
|Chuck Ferrick 05/20/06 09:24:58 PM EDT
I was very interesting article, but most of the listings where not posted. I was hoping to gain some insight on how you configure Hibernate. Your article stated to look at listing 9, but listing 9 was know where to be found. I was also frustrated when I could not find the DBTest.war file on java.sys-con web site.
Good furture article and maybe next time JDJ will include all of the necesasry file listings.
|Achille Komla 02/05/06 10:57:41 PM EST
Very well done. It will be good to see how the application works with hibernate.
|Daniel Hillebrand 12/15/05 04:35:56 AM EST
Hi Boris,
thank you for your great tutorial! Maybe you could add a note to your article regarding running Tomcat in eclipse:
You have to put the content of DBTest.xml in the (new) file context.xml in "WebContent/META-INF". The path strings are not needed, except the "path" string.
regards, Daniel

|Paul Mischler 12/05/05 04:39:16 PM EST
Did anyone notice that listings 3-10 aren't included in the dead-tree edition?
Corrections to the article:
For the code to work "out of the box", the Customer and Order classes need to be created in a package called "domain"
Figure 2 shows "cust_id" as a member of the Order class. However, the image of Figure 3 (and the CreateOrder class sample code) utilize "custId".
A helpful reminder that a user with permissions to access the database tables would have been helpful.
|CS Cassell 12/02/05 10:01:30 AM EST

text: My husband and I recently went to Thailand and chose to stay at this Marriott for a total of 8 nights on two different trips to Bangkok. The first time we stayed in a studio room and the second time we were upgraded to a one bedroom suite. Both of these were outstanding as far as cleanliness, comfort and amenities were concerned. Both the units had all the appliances that one could desire for a comfortable stay away from home- a dishwasher, full size refrigerator, washing machine and dryer, coffee maker, tea kettle and toaster. In addition the kitchenette had cutlery, dishes, wine goblets, bottle opener, dish cloth, napkins, glassware and even food storage containers. They had not forgotten anything. If you needed anything else all you had to do was ask and it was provided immediately. They provided us with free chargers for our phone and camera (since Thailand is on 220v and US is 110v). Their beautiful and huge lounge had a flat screen TV plus books if you wanted to relax and catch up on your reading. The business room on the mezzanine floor had computers and printers if you did not bring your own and the charge was about 60 bahts for every 15 minutes. We even found internet cafes in the nearby Emporium mall and the MBK mall and the charges were very nominal. They had a beautiful infinity pool on the third floor. Their main restaurant served very good food and we ate there several times. The staff at this property is outstanding in their friendliness and helpfuness, attending to every comfort of the guests. The hotel had their own tuk tuk (red one) to drop and pick up guests from the Emporium Mall. The BTS skytrain was right next to the Mall. The hotel is located on a quiet street away from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok yet it is very convenient to get around. If you wanted to take a taxi to go anywhere that was not a problem either. The helpful staff got a taxi for us within minutes of asking each time. In summing up I can say that we got an outstanding value for the price we paid.

Consider the following questions:
The answer is – economies of scale. Scale economies have brought down the unit costs of production and have fed through to lower prices for consumers.
Economies of scale are a key advantage for a business that is able to grow.
Most firms find that, as their production output increases, they can achieve lower costs per unit.
Economies of scale are the cost advantages that a business can exploit by expanding their scale of production. The effect of economies of scale is to reduce the average (unit) costs of production.
Here are some examples of how economies of scale work:
Technical economies of scale:
Large-scale businesses can afford to invest in expensive and specialist capital machinery. For example, a supermarket chain such as Tesco or Sainsbury's can invest in technology that improves stock control. It might not, however, be viable or cost-efficient for a small corner shop to buy this technology.
Specialisation of the workforce
Larger businesses split complex production processes into separate tasks to boost productivity. By specialising in certain tasks or processes, the workforce is able to produce more output in the same time.
Marketing economies of scale
A large firm can spread its advertising and marketing budget over a large output and it can purchase its inputs in bulk at negotiated discounted prices if it has sufficient negotiation power in the market. A good example would be the ability of the electricity generators to negotiate lower prices when negotiating coal and gas supply contracts. The major food retailers also have buying power when purchasing supplies from farmers and other suppliers.
Financial economies of scale
Larger firms are usually rated by the financial markets to be more 'credit worthy' and have access to credit facilities, with favourable rates of borrowing. In contrast, smaller firms often face higher rates of interest on overdrafts and loans. Businesses quoted on the stock market can normally raise fresh money (i.e. extra financial capital) more cheaply through the issue of shares. They are also likely to pay a lower rate of interest on new company bonds issued through the capital markets.
