Use Mozilla. Also, instead of the page footers as anchors with page references handle the interpage references directly using jQuery hide/show as appropropriate. Also, should all be in one "page". See "pages" at <a href="http://www.dantoomeysoftware.com/mobile" rel="nofollow"> for example. Turns out jQuery mobile doe not work with desktop IE. Use Mozilla.

]]> Comment on Hibernate Lazy Loading Options for Collections by admin http://www.dantoomeysoftware.com/pencils-down/2010/08/06/hibernate-lazy-loading-options-for-collections/comment-page-1/#comment-7 admin Tue, 21 Sep 2010 18:28:06 +0000 http://www.dantoomeysoftware.com/pencils-down/?p=126#comment-7 We just discovered a horrible side-effect of using lazy="extra": Hibernate will flush the cache on ANY subsequent query. I think this makes the lazy extra option worse than useless. We just discovered a horrible side-effect of using lazy=”extra”: Hibernate will flush the cache on ANY subsequent query.

]]> Comment on Hibernate ObjectDeletedException and collection handling by admin http://www.dantoomeysoftware.com/pencils-down/2009/03/30/hibernate-objectdeletedexception-and-collection-handling/comment-page-1/#comment-6 admin Tue, 31 Aug 2010 18:45:29 +0000 http://www.dantoomeysoftware.com/pencils-down/2009/03/30/hibernate-objectdeletedexception-and-collection-handling/#comment-6 This error will also occur whenever you remove a child object from a collection that has cascade="all-delete-orphan", even if you immediately attempt to assign it to another collection. The note on the Hibernate forum has wording to the effect that delete-orphan is a nicety that may not work for you. If not, you have to remove the "delete-orphan" setting from your xml and handle cascading delete of orphans by hand! https://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?t=981282 This error will also occur whenever you remove a child object from a collection that has cascade=”all-delete-orphan”, even if you immediately attempt to assign it to another collection.

]]> Comment on Common Perceptions of Web Programmers by admin http://www.dantoomeysoftware.com/pencils-down/2010/04/26/common-perceptions-of-web-programmers/comment-page-1/#comment-3 admin Wed, 28 Apr 2010 15:27:35 +0000 http://www.dantoomeysoftware.com/pencils-down/?p=105#comment-3 Ran into a similar thing with the local town sign up mechanism for summer camp. You must sign up using a web site, starting at at certain time of day, on a certain date. They have run the sign-ups the same way for several years. Also, the town is fairly technically savvy, so they get a big burst of activity at the start. Again, similarly, the site is completely overloaded immediately and fails. This is panic time as the summer programs are very economical and everyone wants in. This happens every year. You would expect that someone would think: maybe we should add a little more horsepower this time? Nah, waste of resources.
