In EXT JS 4 there still is a chance to pass only the fields and data directly to the DataStore when you construct it, instead of passing a model. Ext JS is then creating an internal model from the fields passed. Now, the problem is that Ext JS is going to append an identifier field ‘id’, if there is no field given with that name. If our identifier field has other name, like ‘customID’, then it causes a lot of trouble when it comes to getting the record with a given identifier (getById). Unfortunately there is no way to specify which field we’d like to use as identifier in this case. Continue reading »
Ext JS 4 – Set custom idProperty for DataStore when fields are given
February 5th, 2013Hiking near Torocko – the Seckler Rock
June 25th, 2012I’ve finished my exams, done with university and on my first ‘free’ weekend, we have decided to pack up and go hiking. The weather wasn’t really promising, according to the weather forecast there were 90% chance of precipitation. Saturday evening we have been still unsure if hiking was a good idea. Continue reading »
Cloud Computing – Introduction
June 23rd, 2012We are living in an era when we are surrounded by different types of computers and software. Cloud Computing is a relatively new technology that is changing the way we think about software. In its broadest usage, it refers to the delivery of scalable IT resources over the Internet, in contrast to hosting and managing those resources locally, such as on a college or university network or your business network. The term cloud computing comes from the methafor of the Internet: “cloud”. Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (networks, servers, storage, applications, and custom services) that can be easily provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.

Trip to Turda Gorge
June 10th, 2012My girlfriend and I have been planning this trip for over a month, but we didn’t have too much luck, either she was working on the weekend when the weather was sunny or it was cold and rainy. Moreover, I am currently in session at the university, so I don’t have too much free time nowadays. Continue reading »
Add custom HTTP header to an Axis 2 SOAP request
May 4th, 2012A few days ago I had a challenging task in Java: I had to add a custom header to my SOAP request using Axis 2. But the custom header had to be passed as a HTTP header, not in the SOAP Envelope, since it was used by a Filter and it had nothing to do with the rest of the request. The Filter simply gets a ServletRequest, gets the extra parameter from the HTTP header and does something with it, without having to parse the SOAP Envelope. It’s not that hard to do, there is documentation on this issue, but because there can hardly be found a good example, one may waste several hours trying different solutions. Continue reading »
Chip tuning on my Logan in Cluj
April 23rd, 2012I am currently driving a Dacia Logan from 2010. It’s not a race car, I wanted a new car instead of a used one and this was the one I could afford. It has a tiny 1.4 engine, so you can imagine its performance… 75 massive HPs. To be honest, it would be enough for a normal driver, who only wants to get from point A to point B, but that’s just not me, I used to drive a bit more aggressively, enjoy overtaking long queues of cars, but those 75 HPs are not really helping me… Continue reading »
