Java - JAXB marshalling and unmarshalling of ArrayList

Marshalling and unmarshalling of ArrayList using JAXB is rather simple however you cannot directly marshall ArrayList. You will need a holder class (wrapper class). It will hold the arraylist that you want to marshall or unmarshall.

Please see the self explanatory java code below -

Output -

--Marshalling--
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<List>
    <Value>one</Value>
    <Value>two</Value>
    <Value>three</Value>
</List>

--Unmarshalling--

[one, two, three]

Integration of DWR using DWRSpringServlet

DWR is a Easy Ajax for Java. To know more click here.

In this article we will see sample codes for integration of DWR with DWRSpringServlet

Step 1 - Create a web project in eclipse.

Step 2 - Add below Spring libraries

• Spring Core libraries
• Spring Web libraries
• Spring AOP libraries

Step 3 - Add dwr.jar

Download appropriate version of dwr.jar and add it in your application classpath. For example DWR 3 requires Spring version 2.5 or greater.

Step 4 - Create dependent files

web.xml

The DwrSpringServlet can be used if you are not using Spring MVC. This servlet gains access to the Spring context configured in your web.xml. You can create your own context file, in our case it is dwrcontext.xml.

dwrcontext.xml

DWRService.java

index.jsp

Step 5 - Deploy the project in tomcat (or any other web server) and check the output

Download appropriate version of dwr.jar and add it in your application classpath. For example DWR 3 requires Spring version 2.5 or greater.

Step 4 - Create dependent files

web.xml
Create spring DispatcherServlet and map URL pattern as shown below

javaxp-servlet.xml
If you are using Spring MVC you must declare dwr controller and url mapping i.e. SimpleUrlHandlerMapping as shown below

DWRService.java

index.jsp

Step 5 - Deploy the project in tomcat (or any other web server) and check the output

Java - Authenticate users in Active directory and using LDAP

First lets me try to explain you in brief what is Active directory and LDAP

Active Directory is a database based system that provides authentication, directory, policy, and other services in a Windows environment

LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is an application protocol for querying and modifying items in directory service providers like Active Directory, which supports a form of LDAP.

In short, Active Directory is a directory services database and LDAP is one of the protocols you can use to talk to it.

1. Authenticate users in Active Directory

Directly you can run this code, no need to add any jar file.
