JSOS ver. 6.50

Coldbeans Software announced the next milestone in JSOS (servlets office suite) development. JSOS reaches the version 6.50. This largest collection of Java servlets and filters provides 135+ "out of the box" components ready for building web-pages.

One of the biggest parts is the rich set of filters. Package includes such components as XML and WML transcoding, access restriction, traffic restriction, caching, profiling etc.

All components are configurable, so you may incorporate them into your own design frameset. Components from JSOS do support WAP/WML, so the same set of components can be used for wireless users too. At this moment JSOS provides a largest set of servlets and filters over the Net.

check out the latest version here: Java Servlets Suite 6.50

Opera 10

For widgets developers: Opera widgets have an added security feature in Opera 10 — by default Widgets don't have access to network. You can enable network access by adding a network="public" attribute to the widget element in your widget's config.xml file:

<widget network="public">
...
</widget>

P.S. check out some of our widgets here: Address share

Regular expressions

Useful collection: popular regular expressions

We can add our own. The following JavaScript code recognizes URL's in the text and replaces them with hyperlinks:

var re = new RegExp("(([a-zA-Z]+:\/\/)([a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_\.-]*[a-zA-Z]{2,6})([a-zA-Z0-9~\#\/\._\?\&%-=]*[a-zA-Z0-9~\#\/_\?\&%-=]))", "g");

text = text.replace(re, "<a href='$1'>$1</a>");

and here we can create mailto hyperlinks:

re = new RegExp("([a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4})","g");
text = text.replace(re, "<a href='mailto:$1'>$1</a>");

both tricks borrowed from QR code maker mashup

Mobilize your data with QR codes

Our mashup QR code generator has been updated again. Application lets you easily present your data for mobile users. Just type (or copy/paste) your text and mashup will prepare for you:

mobile web page, presents your data
short link for it
QR code for sharing your data

Posting automatically recognizes URL's and email's in your text and keeps them on mobile site. So, for example, you can simply share links for mobile users with this mashup. Just type your URL and get mobile page for it (as well QR code for sharing).
Recognized links could be automatically transcoded so non-mobile content will be adopted on the fly

Tags cloud

Blogger.com is celebrating 10 years. So tags cloud is finally a standard widget :-) Details are here. See the results at the bottom of this page.

Mobile files bookmarks

Our new mobile service – bookmarks for files. Mobile site: http://mfile.linkstore.ru. You can load this link right to your phone with QR code above.

This application helps you share local files from your phone. Service lets you create bookmarks for files (e.g. media data) from your phone. File size – up 1 Mb. The goal is to quickly share local content: send pictures to friends etc.
For each local file service create a separate mobile page (bookmark) that lets readers download this file or share it with the own friends.

The usage is very simple, you do not need any registration. For sharing your local file go to mobile site http://mfile.linkstore.ru, type file name and upload the file itself. After that just bookmark the mobile page created by the service..

On the desktop level you can see a service Mobile page. See for example its description here

One time readable messages

Our mashup Secure Notes has been updated. Service lets you create (and share via Twitter, email or Facebook) self destroyed text notes. Each note will be automatically deleted right after the first opening (reading).
This new version supports also HTTP API. So now you can create such notes right from your web applications.

Geo Mail for iPhone

We wrote recently about reading locations data in web applications. It was just a technique. And here is a bit more interesting example. Mobile mashup Geo Mail lets you share coordinates via email. It is a wrapper for the native email client lets you add a signature with your location info. For example this web application is the simplest way to tell your friend where you are right from your iPhone. You do not need even to type anything. Just hit Send button and send data via email.
Depends on your settings application can send a link to the Google map, a link to the static map (just a picture) or just a plain text with latitude / longitude info.

Technically it is W3C based geo locations plus a public API from bit.ly

You can copy a link to http://servletsuite.com/geomail/ right to the phone with the QR code above.

Local Twitter

Our mashup Local Twitter has been updated. This application lets you quickly discover tweets near your, their authors as well as the topics they are writing about.
