The Fourth Path

Checklist for SaaS: Facebook Using Tomcat 6.0.18

Posted in Internet, Programming by nmutiara on 2009/05/09

I tried this example using Netbeans 6.5 + Tomcat 6.0.18 [+ Java 1.6.0u11]. That example is quite clear, except that I have to do two more things below.

  • Putting http://localhost:8084/MyFriendSaas/FacebookSocialNetworkingServiceAuthenticator in Post-Authorize Callback URL (see Facebook Developer > Edit Settings > Authentication)
  • Importing TopLink Essentials to compile-time libraries [as mentioned in this page]

In the Facebook Developer > Edit Settings, I also try to:

  • Uncheck Users and Facebook Pages Installable to? (see Authentication section)
  • Enable Sandbox Mode (see Advanced section)

After that, the example works fine… for me.

Path, URL and URI Schemes

Posted in Computer, Internet by nmutiara on 2008/12/18

Path on Wikipedia

There are two kinds of paths, absolute path and relative path.

Absolute path is relative to the root folder. Different kinds of operating system have different root folders ( e.g. Windows D:\\ Linux / ).

Relative path is relative to the current working directory. ../ is one level up, while ./ is the current directory.

URL on Wikipedia

URL is simply a name. It starts with a URI scheme, such as http and https.

There are a lot of URI schemes!

chrome, lastfm, jar, and javascript are also URI schemes!
Example: lastfm://user/nmutiara

So, a URL contains a URI Scheme. How does this concept relate with the path?

… I think I have a lot of things to tell you, but I just can’t explain it! :(

Don’t Open NTU Webmail Page in Library Computers

Posted in Computer, Internet, NTU, Singapore by nmutiara on 2008/09/15

If you access NTU E-mail account from one of the library computers,

don’t open webmail!

Instead,

open Microsoft Office Outlook 2007.

You don’t need to sign in to check your NTU e-mail account if you use Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 in library computers!

This method is usable but NTU CITS does not seem to publicise much about this. The library notice on library computers mentions that all files will be wiped out from library computer once a user is logged off.

So, what I’m trying to say is… the safety of checking NTU E-mail using this method is unknown.

One thing to wonder: what are the library computers doing after you type your usernames and passwords?
