I wish I read this 20 years ago

This article explains what one should learn to understand Spring and Spring boot. By the way, it explains an important hurdle in learning and how to overcome that.

It was a great article Jens, but I couldn't find any there provision to give a feedback. But that is fine :) .

Google adsense stopped working for my blog, yet to find out why

I found that my adsense balance had not changed for a long time. I realized I had not noted for a very long time whether the google ads are displaying in my site or not. When I did, i found that the ads had stopped displaying.

After some search, i found the below page (click to enlarge image) .

The thing is, google had removed the ads for some reason without even sending a notice about it, at least to my email id.

Currently, though i see some eligibility requirements, I still do not know for sure why google ads were removed from my blog.

On the blogger settings, under 'layout', there is an option to add an adsense gadget for my blog, when try adding an adsense gadget using that, the status msg says the gadget is added, when it actually doesn't add (hopefully, this one belongs to the blogger teams' issue list).

The work is still on to find out why. Will update when i get this sorted out.

If you find this blog post useful by any means, please comment 'i like' in the comment section below. Thank you !

Tutorial old

If by any chance you are referring mkyong's tutorial for Struts 1, it would be very useful to understand beforehand that it is a very old tutorial and this small blog post could save you time. While the latest Struts 1 (version 1.3.10) itself is very old, the tutorial does not even seem to cover the latest version of Struts 1.

For example, the below page asks to add taglib tags to web.xml. But this is no longer required in Jsp 2.0 +.

I am writing this in case someone is wondering why somethings are not working for them while working with that tutorial.
