Eclipse Luna - Good features of Eclipse 4.4 JDT / Workbench

Split editors

Do you ever find yourself working in a large file and need to view or edit multiple sections at once ? You can now split / unsplit the currently active editor. Use quick access and type split to get different options.

When importing existing projects, you can now filter out any conflicting projects (projects that are already present in your workspace).

A set of new quick fixes can create for loops that iterate over a given expression for arrays, Collections and Lists

ATG Search architectural flow : Search and Index

I would like to explain the high level ATG Search implementation architecture ( for an online store) through the above diagram. In this diagram 1.x denotes the search functionality and 2.x denotes the indexing functionality. I have given JBoss as the application server. Physical Boxes and Application Servers in the diagram ( as recommended by ATG )  : Estore ( Commerce ) Box --> The box with the estore/site ear (with the site JSPs and Java codes). Search Engine Box --> The box with the search engine application running. Indexing Engine Box --> The box with the indexing engine application running. CA (Content Administration) Box --> The box with the ATG CA ear ( where we could take CA -BCC - Search Administration and configure the search projects) .

The dsp:page invokes the JSP handler, which calls the servlet pipeline and generates HTTPServletRequest.    example:    <dsp:page> ..... </dsp:page> ============================================================== 3.dsp:include     usage: Embeds a page fragment in a JSP.     example:   <dsp:include src="/myPage/ResultPage.jsp" flush="true">
