Vinz Diary

Working on two projects. Point of Sale System is very interesting. For the last two days was trying google how to increase the width of the scrollbar in scrollpane. Couldn't find anything but expert-exchange dead end. At last, thanks to blogspot... UIManager.put("ScrollBar.width", new Integer(40)); Note: Call this method before adding any components to the JFrame. http://javadevelopersdiary.blogspot.com/2008/10/increase-width-of-scrollbar.html

I have tried out lots of new thing within these two weeks. Good New!... I have mastered writing portlets , using struts and extreme programming using Google Web Toolkit . I also learned to write build scripts using Ant . Now I am doing some research about authentication and authorization in portals . My concept about the portal was totally wrong before I started the work. Now have a clear idea... In short portal is a point of access to information on the WWW. It allows the user to access multiple application from a single page. I am now more interested in exploring new things. Going to try Groovy , a better java like programming for writing shell and build scripts.

This is the first time I am writing a blog. I don't like writing but somehow decided to start it this vacation. I have not much things to do. Last week, started my internship. Not bad! I am learning new things. Just happened to realise the amazing power of Google Web ToolKit (Java for Javascript). Had some hands on in portlets and struts. Nowadays I am using more php because of drupal. Hopefully this will be a great experience. So I will be logging the updates about my internship and freelance work here(hopefully!!).
