I have a application where the frontend is based on the Spring Roo 1.1.2 jspx files. Every think works fine in Tomcat 6, but if I deploy the same application in a Websphere 7 (class loader: parent last), then I get a exception: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.NullPointerException incompatible with javax.el.ELException [13.04.11 09:53:55:493 UTC] 00000026 servlet E com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.servlet.ServletWrapper service SRVE0068E: Uncaught exception created in one of the service methods of the servlet /WEB-INF/layouts/default.jspx in application cyber.

Despite all I've read, I still can't figure out what Spring Roo actually is , and that's after reading the first chapter of Spring Roo In Action, What is Spring Roo? ! I understand the motivation for simplifying the process of developing a Spring application, but what does Spring Roo actually do? Can someone summarize the contents of that first chapter, specifically how Spring Roo reduces the complexity of developing a Spring app? The authors will probably see this, so do a good job! Spring Roo is a toolchain for rapid development of java application using all, some or none of those

I'm creating a webapp which involves displaying financial data to the user. Being from the UK and using GBP £ for currency, this character is used a lot. However, every now and then, the £ is shown as a diamond with a question mark in the middle, and on the web page it throws an invalid charachter UTF-8 byte 1 of 1 byte string. Is there a UTF safe way to display the £ sign? Here is an example of what I am doing at the moment: "Rent Per Annum: £" + '${tenant.currentRent}' The particular problem can have at least the following one or more causes: The JSP file is not by the editor (Eclipse,

Most databases allow to have field with current timestamp (act as creation timestamp), for example in MySQL: CREATE TABLE t (ts TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP) How to achieve this in Spring Roo? Can't find hint from Roo manual . Thanks. Simon Elliston Ball This would be created with: field date --fieldName ts --type java.util.Date --persistenceType JPA_TIMESTAMP This will add: @Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP) to the field, which should cause the auto-generator to create a TIMESTAMP field. If you want more control, you can always annotate the generated entity field further with @Column

I have a class that looks like follows (from Spring Roo DataOnDemand) which returns a new transient (not persisted) object for use in unit testing. This is what the code looks like after we do a push-in from Spring Roo's ITD. public class MyObjectOnDemand { public MyObjectOnDemand getNewTransientObject(int index) { MyObjectOnDemand obj = new MyObjectOnDemand(); return obj; } } What I need to do is make additional calls on the returned object reference to set additional fields that Spring Roo's auto-generated method is not taking care of. So without modifying the above code (or pushing it in

I've got a problem running a batch job on my server, whereas it runs fine from Eclipse on my development workstation. I've got my Spring environment set up using Roo, made an entity, and make a batch that does some work, and test it well on my develompent box. I initialize my context and do the work, but when I run my batch on the server, the context isn't initialized properly. Here's the code: public class TestBatch { private static ApplicationContext context; @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") public static void main(final String[] args) { context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("/META-INF
