Class.forName("classname").newInstance()

Don't do this foolish mistake again :|

I was trying to get the class instance using Class.forname(...) but continuosly getting IllegalAccessException.

At the end I found that the class I am trying to call has a private constructor in it. So it cannot be possible to create an instance of class with private constructor.

R&D on Autonomic Computing

I am very much interested in working on Autonomic Computing (AC). The concept of AC is given by IBM in 2001, since than lots of work has been done on it and still huge research is needed to mature the existence of these systems in our computing systems.

In this semester of my MS program I have selected a Thesis/Project. And now reading some papers regarding AC systems. The topic for the thesis is not yet finalised.

Wasted whole Day in FreeMaarker Issue

Yesterday I was trying to configure FreeMarker and CustomTags in a single application. No problems in CustomTags but I have wasted my whole day in getting the FreeMarker's Template path.

I was constantly getting the following error "javax.servlet.ServletException: Error:IOException while writing to clientTemplate firstftl.ftl not found." and the day ends. That was really frustating for me ;(

Some of my colleagues also tried their luck, but in vain !. Before leaving my desk at the day end I have posted this issue on FreeMarker Forum and left.

Today I have got the hint from that forum about the Templates Classpath to be set somewhere in properties file or xml's. After googling a bit I have found that I forgot to set the Template Path property in FreeMarker Configuration.

Its working fine now ... started my day with a little success :)
