Getting Glassfish stdout logging under control

21-Nov-12

By default, Glassfish does an ugly thing: takes an application’s stdout/stderr and wraps it into its own log with INFO level for stdout and WARN level for stderr. Other logging facility normally log to stdout. In the end, a log entry looks pretty stupidly (and it’s damn multiline!): [#|2012-11-21T11:25:07.225+0200|INFO|glassfish3.1.2|javax.enterprise.system.std.com.sun.enterprise.server.logging|_ThreadID=100;_ThreadName=Thread-2;|11:25:07.225 [http-thread-pool-8080(2)] DEBUG c.mycompany.packages.SomeClass – Finally, some […]

Broken HTML parsing in Java

16-Aug-07

Given: HTML code, non-valid and non-well-formed. Make it a well-formed XHTML, in Java. We considered JTidy, but it’s source looked too messy and hacky. I looked for a parser that could correct XML – not in sense of schema, but correct any mistakes, and pass out a well-formed XML and error list. I was able […]
