I recently can across this interesting website that shows how you can create cross browser fading effects for images. However, I needed to rotate a number of images displayed in addition to the blending effects. Furthermore, I wanted to have 2 or more sets of rotating images in the same page if possible. So I decided to enhance the javascript provided in the above website. There are 3 steps. Firstly, create a html page and include the js.file called, "rotatingImages.js" as below.
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="rotatingImages.js" type="text/javascript"></SCRIPT>
<TITLE>Test page</TITLE>
</HEAD>
Then include the following DIV tag, A tag and IMG tag in the body of the html file. Although not very elegant, you will have to declare two javascript arrays to store the hyperlinks (when users click on the image) and the tooltips (when users moveover the image). This is necessary if we want to display more than one set of rotating images in a html page.
<div id="rotatingImagesDiv" style="background-repeat: no-repeat;" >
<a id="linkbanner">
<img id="rotatingImages" src="http://www.abc.com/images/0.jpg"
border="0" hspace="0"
onload="var urls = new Array();
urls[0]='http://www.0.com';
urls[1]='http://www.1.com';
urls[2]='http://www.2.com';
urls[3]='http://www.3.com';
urls[4]='http://www.4.com';
urls[5]='http://www.5.com';
urls[6]='http://www.6.com';
var toolTips = new Array();
toolTips[0]='0 image';
toolTips[1]='1 image';
toolTips[2]='2 image';
toolTips[3]='3 image';
toolTips[4]='4 image';
toolTips[5]='5 image';
toolTips[6]='6 image';
initImagesRotation('http','www.abc.com/images/',7,urls,toolTips,'rotatingImagesDiv','linkbanner','rotatingImages',10000,2000)" />
</a>
</div>
<div id="rotatingImagesDiv1" style="background-repeat: no-repeat;">
<a id="linkbanner1">
<img id="rotatingImages1" src="http://www.abc.com/images/0.jpg"
border="0" hspace="0"
onload="urls = new Array();
urls[0]='http://www.one.com';
urls[1]='http://www.two.com';
urls[2]='http://www.three.com';
urls[3]='http://www.four.com';
urls[4]='http://www.five.com';
urls[5]='http://www.six.com';
urls[6]='http://www.seven.com';
toolTips= new Array();
toolTips[0]='zero image';
toolTips[1]='one image';
toolTips[2]='two image';
toolTips[3]='three image';
toolTips[4]='four image';
toolTips[5]='five image';
toolTips[6]='six image';
initImagesRotation('http','www.abc.com/images/',7,urls,toolTips,'rotatingImagesDiv1','linkbanner1','rotatingImages1',5000,1000)" />
</a>
</div>
Lastly, create the javascript file, "rotatingImages.js" to make it all work. Then enjoy!
function changeOpac(opacity, id) {
var object = document.getElementById(id).style;
object.opacity = (opacity / 100);
object.MozOpacity = (opacity / 100);
object.KhtmlOpacity = (opacity / 100);
object.filter = "alpha(opacity=" + opacity + ")";
}
function RotateImageClass(){

Roller v3.0 on WebLogic v9.2
After some tinkling, I managed to get Roller v3.0 running on WebLogic 9.2 as well. So here's the steps.
Preparation
1) Download source code for Roller v3.0.
2) Create a temp folder (we shall named it as {temp} from here onwards). Place downloaded source code in '{temp}\roller'.
3) Create a new Dynamic Web Project in WLP 9.2 named 'roller'. Use the default settings for Project Facets selection. Change 'Content Directory' to 'roller' (We will refer to the application directory as 'roller' from here onwards).
4) Rename '{roller}\roller\WEB-INF\web.xml' to '{roller}\roller\WEB-INF\web.bak'
5) Rename '{roller}\roller\index.jsp' to '{roller}\roller\index.bak'. (in case you want to keep it for later).
First compilation of roller
(The steps for compiling roller is still the same as before).
Setup WebLogic roller
1) Remove the additional filter added by XDoclet.
<filter>
<filter-name></filter-name>
<filter-class>org.apache.roller.ui.webapp.RollerAuthenticationProcessingFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
2) Copy '{roller}\roller\WEB-INF\classes\META-INF\tlds\roller.tld' to '{roller}\roller\WEB-INF'.
3) Open up '{roller}\roller\jsps\tiles\search.jsp', under line 37, change the special character '»' to '»'.
4) Amend '{roller}\roller\jsps\authoring\spellcheck-entry.jsp' and add the following.
(Hint: Paste after the </script> tag.)
<%!
public static String makeSelect(String word, List words)
{
StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer("<select name=\"");
buf.append("replacementWords\"style=\"font-size: 10px;\">");
buf.append("<option selected=\"selected\" value=\"").append(word);
buf.append("\">").append(word).append("</option>");
if (words == null || words.size() < 1)
{
buf.append("<option value=\"").append(word);
buf.append("\">No Suggestions</option>");
}
else
{
for (Iterator it2=words.iterator(); it2.hasNext();)
{
word = it2.next().toString();
buf.append("<option value=\"").append(word);
buf.append("\">").append(word).append("</option>");
}
}
buf.append("</select>");
return buf.toString();
}
%>
(Hint: Paste after the 'Use Spell Check Results' wordings.)
<%
String escapeText = StringUtils.replace( text, "<", "{" );
escapeText = StringUtils.replace( escapeText, ">", "}" );
StringBuffer newText = new StringBuffer(escapeText);
ArrayList events = (ArrayList) session.getAttribute("spellCheckEvents");
SpellCheckEvent event = null;
String word = null;
int start = -1;
int end = -1;
String select = null;
for(ListIterator it=events.listIterator(events.size()); it.hasPrevious();)
{
event = (SpellCheckEvent)it.previous();
word = event.getInvalidWord();
start = event.getWordContextPosition();
end = start + word.length();
select = makeSelect(word, event.getSuggestions());
newText.replace( start, end, select );
}
escapeText = StringUtils.replace(newText.toString(), "}", ">" );
escapeText = StringUtils.replace(escapeText, "{", "<" );
%>
5) Create the necessary datasource with JNDI name, jdbc/rollerdb" as well as the mail session with JNDI name mail/Session" in WebLogic console.
6) Amend the line, "${catalina.base}/logs/roller.log" in '{roller}\roller\WEB-INF\classes\log4j.properties' to the right place where you want your log to be.
7) Next we need to amend '{roller}\roller\WEB-INF\classes\hibernate.cfg.xml' with the following (See sample below, I'm using Oracle so modify for your DB).
<!-- By default Roller uses a JNDI DataSource -->
<property name="jndi.url">t3://localhost:7001</property>
<property name="jndi.class">weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory</property>
<property name="connection.datasource">jdbc/rollerdb</property>
<property name="show_sql">false</property>
<property name="current_session_context_class">thread</property>
<!-- select SQL dialect, MySQL 3.X or 4.X by default -->
<property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle9Dialect</property>
8) Comment off the line in web.xml as below:
<!--<listener>
<listener-class>org.apache.roller.ui.core.RollerContext</listener-class>
</listener>-->
9) Modify '{temp}\roller\src\org\apache\roller\business\utils\UpgradeDatabase.java' at
line 190 if you are using Oracle like me.
PreparedStatement websitesQuery = con.prepareStatement(
"select w.id as wid, u.id as uuid, u.username as uname from "
+ "website w, rolleruser u where u.id=w.userid");
10) Change the context-root in '{roller}\roller\WEB-INF\weblogic.xml' to "roller" if it is not already so.
11) Deploy and enjoy.

Roller v3.0 with Active Directory (non-SSL)
Roller v3.0 on Weblogic Platform v8.1.5 with Active Directory
I added integration with Active Directory after getting Roller to run on WebLogic. However, the process is fairly complicated and there is as yet no SSL. But if you are also looking into doing the same thing perhaps the below steps will help to shorten the learning curve. Enjoy!
Preparation
1) Amend '{DefaultApp}\roller\WEB-INF\security.xml'.
1.1) Remove the line 'anonymousProcessingFilter' as below.
<!-- ======================== FILTER CHAIN ======================= -->
<bean id="filterChainProxy" class="org.acegisecurity.util.FilterChainProxy">
<property name="filterInvocationDefinitionSource">
<value>
CONVERT_URL_TO_LOWERCASE_BEFORE_COMPARISON
PATTERN_TYPE_APACHE_ANT
/**=httpSessionContextIntegrationFilter,authenticationProcessingFilter,rememberMeProcessingFilter,
channelProcessingFilter,remoteUserFilter,exceptionTranslationFilter,filterInvocationInterceptor
</value>
</property>
</bean>
1.2) Comment out 'daoAuthenticationProvider' and 'anonymousAuthenticationProvider' and add 'ldapAuthProvider' as below.
<bean id="authenticationManager" class="org.acegisecurity.providers.ProviderManager">
<property name="providers">
<list>
<ref local="ldapAuthProvider"/>
<!--<ref local="daoAuthenticationProvider"/>-->
<!--<ref local="anonymousAuthenticationProvider"/>-->
<!-- rememberMeAuthenticationProvider added programmatically -->
</list>
</property>
</bean>
1.3) Uncomment and modify the LDAP parameters to suit your
environment. A sample is given as below.
<!-- Sample LDAP/RollerDB hybrid security configuration -->
<bean id="initialDirContextFactory" class="org.acegisecurity.ldap.DefaultInitialDirContextFactory">
<constructor-arg value="ldap://192.168.0.100:389/DC=roller,DC=com"/>
<property name="managerDn">
<value>CN=tommy,OU=Users,DC=roller,DC=com</value>
</property>
<property name="managerPassword">
<value>xxxxx</value>
</property>
<property name="useConnectionPool">
<value>false</value>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="ldapUserSearch" class="org.acegisecurity.ldap.search.FilterBasedLdapUserSearch">
<constructor-arg index="0">
<value></value>
</constructor-arg>
<constructor-arg index="1">
<value>sAMAccountName={0}</value>
</constructor-arg>
<constructor-arg index="2">
<ref local="initialDirContextFactory"/>
</constructor-arg>
<property name="searchSubtree">
<value>true</value>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="ldapAuthProvider"
class="org.acegisecurity.providers.ldap.LdapAuthenticationProvider">
<constructor-arg>
<bean class="org.acegisecurity.providers.ldap.authenticator.BindAuthenticator">
<constructor-arg><ref local="initialDirContextFactory"/></constructor-arg>
<property name="userSearch"><ref bean="ldapUserSearch"/></property>
</bean>
</constructor-arg>
<constructor-arg><ref local="jdbcAuthoritiesPopulator"/></constructor-arg>
<property name="userCache" ref="userCache"/>
</bean>
<bean id="jdbcAuthoritiesPopulator" class="org.apache.roller.ui.core.security.AuthoritiesPopulator">
<property name="dataSource">
<bean class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
<property name="jndiName" value="jdbc/rollerdb"/>
</bean>
</property>
<property name="authoritiesByUsernameQuery">
<value>SELECT username,rolename FROM userrole WHERE username = ?</value>
</property>
<property name="defaultRole"><value>register</value></property>
</bean>
1.4) Comment out the below to prevent anonymous users.
<!--<bean id="anonymousAuthenticationProvider" class="org.acegisecurity.providers.anonymous.AnonymousAuthenticationProvider">
<property name="key" value="anonymous"/>
</bean>-->
<!--
<bean id="anonymousProcessingFilter" class="org.acegisecurity.providers.anonymous.AnonymousProcessingFilter">
<property name="key" value="anonymous"/>
<property name="userAttribute" value="anonymous,ROLE_ANONYMOUS"/>
</bean>
-->
2) As we are no longer allowing users to register anonymously, we need to enable auto-provisioning. Add the custom properties file, '{DefaultApp}\roller\WEB-INF\classes\roller-custom.properties' with the following properties (Note: the property 'users.sso.enabled' must be set so that the CustomUserRegistry class will return the authenticated LDAP user data).
# Enables Roller to behave differently when registering new users
# in an SSO-enabled environment. You must configure security.xml appropriately.
users.sso.enabled=true
# Set these properties for a custom LDAP schema (optional).
# Note by Damon: Change below parameters accordingly for your environment
users.sso.registry.ldap.attributes.name=displayName
users.sso.registry.ldap.attributes.email=userPrincipalName
users.sso.autoProvision.enabled=true
users.sso.autoProvision.className=org.apache.roller.ui.core.security.BasicUserAutoProvision
3) After configuring the above, you should get user auto-provisioning working. Just go to the login page (e.g. http://localhost:7001/roller/roller-ui/login.do). Enter the AD user id and password to login.
However, the default logic now will result in a '403 - Access Denied' HTTP error immediately after the new user login (although the new user account will be created in the DB table by now). The '403' error arise will disappear once the user cache in the application's memory is cleared (such as when application restart). In order for a new user to proceed to create his weblog he needs at least a 'editor' role. Currently, the roles are added when the ACEGI security filter classes retrieve any additional privileges from a DB table while creating the user principal object. For new accounts, this happens too late as the HibernateUserManagerImpl class only adds the additional 'editor' role into the DB table after the user principal object was created. There are probably a few ways to tackle this. I chose to extend the ACEGI classes LdapAuthenticationProvider and create a custom class in '{temp}\roller\src\org\apache\roller\ui\providers\RollerLdapAuthenticationProvider.java'. This class will check if a user exists after a successful LDAP retrieval. If the user does not exists, it will insert a default "editor" role for the new user.
In addition, we need to extend RollerSession class so that it will not only provision a new user account in the DB table but also re-populate the user principal with the newly granted roles. The re-population will require recreating the user principal object, reset the Authentication object in the SecurityContextHolder and refresh the cache in the ACEGI class AbstractUserDetailsAuthenticationProvider. To refresh the cache, we will also have to extend AbstractUserDetailsAuthenticationProvider as well as a few other ACEGI classes.
4) Add 'RollerLdapAuthenticationProvider.java' into '{temp}\roller\src\org\apache\roller\ui\providers\ldap\',

Roller Weblog 3.0 on Weblogic Platform v8.1.5
One fine day, I came across a Java based weblogging tool called "Roller" that was quite cool and decided to port it to Weblogic. Only problem was there weren't any how-tos so I decided to roll-up my sleeve and port it myself. Below are the steps I took to do the porting. There maybe better ways of doing it so please let me know. Cheers!
Lastly, all credits to Dave Johnson and his wonderful team for making Roller available to the community. Keep up the great works, guys!
Roller v3.0 on Weblogic Platform v8.1.5
---------------------------------------------------
Preparation.
1) Download source code for Roller v3.0.
2) Create a temp folder (we shall named it as {temp} from here onwards). Place downloaded source code in '{temp}\roller'.
3) Create a new Default application with a new Web Project in Workshop and renamed the Web Project as 'roller'. (We shall call this folder '{DefaultApp}\roller' from here onwards).
4) Rename '{DefaultApp}\roller\WEB-INF\web.xml' to '{DefaultApp}\roller\WEB-INF\web.bak'
5) Rename '{DefaultApp}\roller\WEB-INF\validator-rules.xml' to '{DefaultApp}\roller\WEB-INF\validator-rules.bak' (You can remove it otherwise).
6) Rename '{DefaultApp}\roller\index.jsp' to '{DefaultApp}\roller\index.bak'. (in case you want to keep it for later).
First compilation of roller.
1) Remember to copy over any dependant libraries into '{temp}\roller\tools'.
2) Either modify properties.xmlf or simply dump 'jazzy.jar' into '{temp}\roller\tools\hibernate-3.1\lib'.
3) Add 'RollerSpellCheck.java' to '{temp}\roller\src\org\apache\roller\model', it. See source code below.
package org.apache.roller.model;
import com.swabunga.spell.engine.SpellDictionary;
import com.swabunga.spell.engine.SpellDictionaryHashMap;
import com.swabunga.spell.event.SpellCheckEvent;
import com.swabunga.spell.event.SpellCheckListener;

/**
* Since this class cannot be thread-safe due to the
* SpellCheckListener interface, first a "canonical"
* SpellDictionary must be instantiated with the path
* to the dictionary. Subsequently, call getInstance()
* which will return a new instance of RollerSpellCheck
* using the "precompiled" SpellDictionary, or will throw
* a NullPointerException. A better way can
* probably be found.
**/

throw new RollerException(ioe);
}
}

* as an argument.

* is returned to the caller. A SpellCheckEvent contains
* the "suspect" word, and a LinkedList of suggested replacements.
*/
public ArrayList checkSpelling(String str) throws RollerException
{
spellCheck.checkSpelling( new StringWordTokenizer(str) );
return spellCheckEvents;
}
/**
* Convenience method. Creates a RollerSpellCheck object
* and calls checkSpelling(str) on it, returning the ArrayList.
*/
public static ArrayList getSpellingErrors(String str) throws RollerException
{
RollerSpellCheck rCheck = RollerSpellCheck.getInstance();
return rCheck.checkSpelling(str);
}
}
4) Do an initial compilation in '{temp}\roller' (Assuming you already got Ant just type "build all").
5) Copy all files under '{temp}\roller\build\webapp\' to '{DefaultApp}\roller'. (If using Windows Explorer, reply "Yes to All" when prompt whether to override existing files/folders).
Setup WebLogic roller
As WebLogic v8.1 is a servlet 2.3 container, we need to replace some jar files
1) Copy and replace the following files.
1.1) Rename or remove the following files in '{DefaultApp}\roller\WEB-INF\lib'
i) jstl.jar
ii) standard.jar
1.2) Copy the jar files 'jstl-1.0.6.jar' and 'standard-1.0.6.jar' to '{DefaultApp}\roller\WEB-INF\lib'.
2) Copy 'jazzy.jar' to '{DefaultApp}\roller\WEB-INF\lib' if it does not exists.
3) We need to make changes to some jsp files.
3.1) Copy '{DefaultApp}\roller\WEB-INF\classes\META-INF\tlds\roller.tld' to '{DefaultApp}\roller\WEB-INF'.
3.2) Open up {DefaultApp}\roller\taglibs.jsp' and change the taglib declarations to use jstl v1.0. Example, change taglib URI "http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" to "http://java.sun.com/jstl/core". Also uncomment the following "<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %>" to <%--@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" --%>
3.3) Open up '{DefaultApp}\roller\jsps\admin\rollerProperties.jsp' and change taglib declarations as per 3.2.
3.4) Open up '{DefaultApp}\roller\jsps\tiles\search.jsp', under line 37, change the special character '»' to '»'.
3.5) Copy 'struts-bean.tld' to '{DefaultApp}\roller\WEB-INF\'.
4) Amend '{DefaultApp}\roller\jsps\authoring\spellcheck-entry.jsp' and add the following.
(Hint: Paste after the </script> tag.)
<%!
public static String makeSelect(String word, List words)
{
StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer("<select name=\"");
buf.append("replacementWords\" style=\"font-size: 10px;\">");
buf.append("<option selected=\"selected\" value=\"").append(word);
buf.append("\">").append(word).append("</option>");
if (words == null || words.size() < 1)
{
buf.append("<option value=\"").append(word);
buf.append("\">No Suggestions</option>");
}
else
{
for (Iterator it2=words.iterator(); it2.hasNext();)
{
word = it2.next().toString();
buf.append("<option value=\"").append(word);
buf.append("\">").append(word).append("</option>");
}
}
buf.append("</select>");
return buf.toString();
}
%>
(Hint: Paste after the 'Use Spell Check Results' wordings.)
<%
String escapeText = StringUtils.replace( text, "<", "{" );
escapeText = StringUtils.replace( escapeText, ">", "}" );
StringBuffer newText = new StringBuffer(escapeText);
ArrayList events = (ArrayList) session.getAttribute("spellCheckEvents");
SpellCheckEvent event = null;
String word = null;
int start = -1;
int end = -1;
String select = null;
for(ListIterator it=events.listIterator(events.size()); it.hasPrevious();)
{
event = (SpellCheckEvent)it.previous();
word = event.getInvalidWord();
start = event.getWordContextPosition();
end = start + word.length();
select = makeSelect(word, event.getSuggestions());
newText.replace( start, end, select );
}
escapeText = StringUtils.replace( newText.toString(), "}", ">" );
escapeText = StringUtils.replace( escapeText, "{", "<" );
%>
5) Modify web.xml and comment out the <dispatcher> tag for <filter-mapping> tag. Alternatively, open up the new web.xml and the old web.bak in '{DefaultApp}\roller\WEB-INF\' and merge the 2 files taking note that the new web.xml is meant for servlet 2.4 container. If merging, remove the 'PageFlowJspFilter' filter and its filter mapping. You will also have to remove or comment out the 'PageFlowActionServlet'.
5.1) Also uncomment the below. For some reasons, this cause Weblogic to load RollerContext twice and cause spring framework to complain about multiple ContextLoader definitions.
<!--<listener>
<listener-class>org.apache.roller.ui.core.RollerContext</listener-class>
</listener>-->
6) Next we need to amend '{DefaultApp}\roller\WEB-INF\classes\hibernate.cfg.xml' with the following (See sample below, I'm using Oracle so modify for your DB).
<!-- By default Roller uses a JNDI DataSource -->
<property name="jndi.url">t3://localhost:7001</property>
<property name="jndi.class">weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory</property>
<property name="connection.datasource">jdbc/rollerdb</property>

<property name="current_session_context_class">thread</property>
<!-- select SQL dialect, MySQL 3.X or 4.X by default -->
<property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle9Dialect</property>
7) Create the roller database tables using the DB scripts in '{DefaultApp}\roller\WEB-INF\dbscripts'
8) Create the necessary JDBC connection pool as well as a data source to the roller DB. Remember to name the JNDI name as 'jdbc/rollerdb'.
9) Changes to '{temp}\roller\src\org\apache\roller\ui\core\RollerContext.java', replace the line 'RollerConfig.setContextRealPath(mContext.getRealPath("/"));' as below.
// To allow application to run from Weblogic Workshop 8.1. Damon, 8/12/2006.
String realPath = mContext.getRealPath("/");
if( -1==realPath.indexOf(".workshop\\output") ){
RollerConfig.setContextRealPath(realPath);
}
else{
realPath = realPath.replaceFirst(".workshop\\\\output\\\\","");
RollerConfig.setContextRealPath(realPath);
}
10) There are some JNDI lookup which we need to change. In my case, I used a custom DB connection class called 'DBConnection'. Also define a mail session with JNDI name 'mail/Session' in the Weblogic server console.
10.1) In '{temp}\roller\src\org\apache\roller\ui\core\RollerContext.java', modify the method 'upgradeDatabaseIfNeeded'.
// Added to get DB connection. Damon
import sp.DBConnection;
try {
DBConnection dbc = new DBConnection("jdbc/rollerdb");
Connection con = dbc.openConnection();
UpgradeDatabase.upgradeDatabase(con, mVersion);
dbc.closeConnection();
} catch (NamingException e) {
mLogger.warn("Unable to access DataSource", e);
} catch (SQLException e) {
mLogger.warn(e);
}
10.3) In '{temp}\roller\src\org\apache\roller\ui\rendering\servlets\CommentServlet.java' change the JNDI lookup.
10.4) In '{temp}\roller\src\org\apache\roller\ui\rendering\servlets\PreviewServlet.java' change the line 'String mimeType = RollerContext.getServletContext().getMimeType(pageLink);' to below.
// WebLogic throws an error here for some reason. Damon, 8/12/06.
String mimeType = null;
try{
mimeType = RollerContext.getServletContext().getMimeType(pageLink);
}
catch( java.lang.NullPointerException npe ){
//System.err.println("PreviewServlet: Encounter error when getting mime type.");
}
10.5) In '{temp}\roller\src\org\apache\roller\ui\authoring\struts\BookmarksAction.java' change line 142 to below.
// Remove from parent collection. Damon, 14/12/2006.
FolderData fd = pageModel.getFolder();
Set bookmarkSet = fd.getBookmarks();
for (int j = 0; j < bookmarks.length; j++)
{
bookmark = bmgr.getBookmark(bookmarks[j]);
// Remove from parent collection. Damon, 14/12/2006.
bookmarkSet.remove(bookmark);
bmgr.removeBookmark(bookmark);
}
Also line 375 for the method 'getFolder()' modify as below.
/* Need to do this for WebLogic v8.1.5. If not bookmarks
cannot be retrieved. Suspect cause of issue is due to
WL using a child classloader for its JSP container.
Damon, 13/12/06.

// Handle for Oracle DB, suspect null value for varchar2 is
// not auto convert to empty string. Damon @ 8 Dec 2006
if(null==frontPageHandle)
frontPageHandle = "";
12) Update '{DefaultApp}\roller\WEB-INF\security.xml' change all instance of 'java:comp/env/jdbc/rollerdb' to 'jdbc/rollerdb'.
13) Do a compilation at '{temp}\roller' and copy 'roller-business.jar' and 'roller-web.jar' from '{temp}\roller\build\lib' to '{DefaultApp}\roller\WEB-INF\lib'.
14) Do a build of the 'DefaultApp' in Workshop and deploy.
15) Go to URL http://localhost:7001/roller to view Roller weblog. Enjoy!
Lastly, all credits to Dave Johnson and his wonderful team for making Roller available to the community. Keep up the great works, guys!
Roller v3.0 on Weblogic Platform v8.1.5
---------------------------------------------------
Preparation.
1) Download source code for Roller v3.0.
2) Create a temp folder (we shall named it as {temp} from here onwards). Place downloaded source code in '{temp}\roller'.
3) Create a new Default application with a new Web Project in Workshop and renamed the Web Project as 'roller'. (We shall call this folder '{DefaultApp}\roller' from here onwards).
4) Rename '{DefaultApp}\roller\WEB-INF\web.xml' to '{DefaultApp}\roller\WEB-INF\web.bak'
5) Rename '{DefaultApp}\roller\WEB-INF\validator-rules.xml' to '{DefaultApp}\roller\WEB-INF\validator-rules.bak' (You can remove it otherwise).
6) Rename '{DefaultApp}\roller\index.jsp' to '{DefaultApp}\roller\index.bak'. (in case you want to keep it for later).
First compilation of roller.
1) Remember to copy over any dependant libraries into '{temp}\roller\tools'.
2) Either modify properties.xmlf or simply dump 'jazzy.jar' into '{temp}\roller\tools\hibernate-3.1\lib'.
3) Add 'RollerSpellCheck.java' to '{temp}\roller\src\org\apache\roller\model', it. See source code below.

4) Do an initial compilation in '{temp}\roller' (Assuming you already got Ant just type "build all").
5) Copy all files under '{temp}\roller\build\webapp\' to '{DefaultApp}\roller'. (If using Windows Explorer, reply "Yes to All" when prompt whether to override existing files/folders).
Setup WebLogic roller
As WebLogic v8.1 is a servlet 2.3 container, we need to replace some jar files
1) Copy and replace the following files.
1.1) Rename or remove the following files in '{DefaultApp}\roller\WEB-INF\lib'
i) jstl.jar
ii) standard.jar
1.2) Copy the jar files 'jstl-1.0.6.jar' and 'standard-1.0.6.jar' to '{DefaultApp}\roller\WEB-INF\lib'.
2) Copy 'jazzy.jar' to '{DefaultApp}\roller\WEB-INF\lib' if it does not exists.
3) We need to make changes to some jsp files.
3.1) Copy '{DefaultApp}\roller\WEB-INF\classes\META-INF\tlds\roller.tld' to '{DefaultApp}\roller\WEB-INF'.
3.2) Open up {DefaultApp}\roller\taglibs.jsp' and change the taglib declarations to use jstl v1.0. Example, change taglib URI "http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" to "http://java.sun.com/jstl/core". Also uncomment the following "<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %>" to <%--@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" --%>
3.3) Open up '{DefaultApp}\roller\jsps\admin\rollerProperties.jsp' and change taglib declarations as per 3.2.
3.4) Open up '{DefaultApp}\roller\jsps\tiles\search.jsp', under line 37, change the special character '»' to '»'.
3.5) Copy 'struts-bean.tld' to '{DefaultApp}\roller\WEB-INF\'.
4) Amend '{DefaultApp}\roller\jsps\authoring\spellcheck-entry.jsp' and add the following.
(Hint: Paste after the </script> tag.)
<%!
public static String makeSelect(String word, List words)
{
StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer("<select name=\"");
buf.append("replacementWords\" style=\"font-size: 10px;\">");
buf.append("<option selected=\"selected\" value=\"").append(word);
buf.append("\">").append(word).append("</option>");
if (words == null || words.size() < 1)
{
buf.append("<option value=\"").append(word);
buf.append("\">No Suggestions</option>");
}
else
{
for (Iterator it2=words.iterator(); it2.hasNext();)
{
word = it2.next().toString();
buf.append("<option value=\"").append(word);
buf.append("\">").append(word).append("</option>");
}
}
buf.append("</select>");
return buf.toString();
}
%>
(Hint: Paste after the 'Use Spell Check Results' wordings.)
<%
String escapeText = StringUtils.replace( text, "<", "{" );
escapeText = StringUtils.replace( escapeText, ">", "}" );
StringBuffer newText = new StringBuffer(escapeText);
ArrayList events = (ArrayList) session.getAttribute("spellCheckEvents");
SpellCheckEvent event = null;
String word = null;
int start = -1;
int end = -1;
String select = null;
for(ListIterator it=events.listIterator(events.size()); it.hasPrevious();)
{
event = (SpellCheckEvent)it.previous();
word = event.getInvalidWord();
start = event.getWordContextPosition();
end = start + word.length();
select = makeSelect(word, event.getSuggestions());
newText.replace( start, end, select );
}
escapeText = StringUtils.replace( newText.toString(), "}", ">" );
escapeText = StringUtils.replace( escapeText, "{", "<" );
%>
5) Modify web.xml and comment out the <dispatcher> tag for <filter-mapping> tag. Alternatively, open up the new web.xml and the old web.bak in '{DefaultApp}\roller\WEB-INF\' and merge the 2 files taking note that the new web.xml is meant for servlet 2.4 container. If merging, remove the 'PageFlowJspFilter' filter and its filter mapping. You will also have to remove or comment out the 'PageFlowActionServlet'.
5.1) Also uncomment the below. For some reasons, this cause Weblogic to load RollerContext twice and cause spring framework to complain about multiple ContextLoader definitions.
<!--<listener>
<listener-class>org.apache.roller.ui.core.RollerContext</listener-class>
</listener>-->
6) Next we need to amend '{DefaultApp}\roller\WEB-INF\classes\hibernate.cfg.xml' with the following (See sample below, I'm using Oracle so modify for your DB).
<!-- By default Roller uses a JNDI DataSource -->
<property name="jndi.url">t3://localhost:7001</property>
<property name="jndi.class">weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory</property>
<property name="connection.datasource">jdbc/rollerdb</property>
<property name="show_sql">false</property>
<property name="current_session_context_class">thread</property>
<!-- select SQL dialect, MySQL 3.X or 4.X by default -->
<property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle9Dialect</property>
7) Create the roller database tables using the DB scripts in '{DefaultApp}\roller\WEB-INF\dbscripts'
8) Create the necessary JDBC connection pool as well as a data source to the roller DB. Remember to name the JNDI name as 'jdbc/rollerdb'.
9) Changes to '{temp}\roller\src\org\apache\roller\ui\core\RollerContext.java', replace the line 'RollerConfig.setContextRealPath(mContext.getRealPath("/"));' as below.
// To allow application to run from Weblogic Workshop 8.1. Damon, 8/12/2006.
String realPath = mContext.getRealPath("/");
if( -1==realPath.indexOf(".workshop\\output") ){
RollerConfig.setContextRealPath(realPath);
}
else{
realPath = realPath.replaceFirst(".workshop\\\\output\\\\","");
RollerConfig.setContextRealPath(realPath);
}
10) There are some JNDI lookup which we need to change. In my case, I used a custom DB connection class called 'DBConnection'. Also define a mail session with JNDI name 'mail/Session' in the Weblogic server console.
10.1) In '{temp}\roller\src\org\apache\roller\ui\core\RollerContext.java', modify the method 'upgradeDatabaseIfNeeded'.
// Added to get DB connection. Damon
import sp.DBConnection;
try {
DBConnection dbc = new DBConnection("jdbc/rollerdb");
Connection con = dbc.openConnection();
UpgradeDatabase.upgradeDatabase(con, mVersion);
dbc.closeConnection();
} catch (NamingException e) {
mLogger.warn("Unable to access DataSource", e);
} catch (SQLException e) {
mLogger.warn(e);
}
10.3) In '{temp}\roller\src\org\apache\roller\ui\rendering\servlets\CommentServlet.java' change the JNDI lookup.
10.4) In '{temp}\roller\src\org\apache\roller\ui\rendering\servlets\PreviewServlet.java' change the line 'String mimeType = RollerContext.getServletContext().getMimeType(pageLink);' to below.
// WebLogic throws an error here for some reason. Damon, 8/12/06.
String mimeType = null;
try{
mimeType = RollerContext.getServletContext().getMimeType(pageLink);
}
catch( java.lang.NullPointerException npe ){
//System.err.println("PreviewServlet: Encounter error when getting mime type.");
}
10.5) In '{temp}\roller\src\org\apache\roller\ui\authoring\struts\BookmarksAction.java' change line 142 to below.
// Remove from parent collection. Damon, 14/12/2006.
FolderData fd = pageModel.getFolder();
Set bookmarkSet = fd.getBookmarks();
for (int j = 0; j < bookmarks.length; j++)
{
bookmark = bmgr.getBookmark(bookmarks[j]);
// Remove from parent collection. Damon, 14/12/2006.
bookmarkSet.remove(bookmark);
bmgr.removeBookmark(bookmark);
}
Also line 375 for the method 'getFolder()' modify as below.
/* Need to do this for WebLogic v8.1.5. If not bookmarks
cannot be retrieved. Suspect cause of issue is due to
WL using a child classloader for its JSP container.

10.7) In '{temp}\roller\src\org\apache\roller\ui\authoring\struts\InviteMemberAction.java' modify from line 197 onwards, codes affecting JNDI lookup.
11) In '{temp}\roller\src\org\apache\roller\config\RollerRuntimeConfig.java', modify method 'isFrontPageWeblog' by adding after the line 'String frontPageHandle = getProperty("site.frontpage.weblog.handle");'.
// Handle for Oracle DB, suspect null value for varchar2 is
