ruby on rails - Routing to static html page in /public - Stack Overflow
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5631145/routing-to-static-html-page-in-publicTried to host wsdl and xsd resources. This seemed to be more trouble than it was worth, so I turned to Rack to get the job done. That being said, I decided it would be more consistent to simple grab resources relatively from the file system.
Rails Routing from the Outside In — Ruby on Rails Guides
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.htmlI was trying to figure out how to redirect to a static page. This didn't end up helping. Ended up using Rack instead.
get '/stories', to: redirect('/posts')
get '/stories/:name', to: redirect('/posts/%{name}')
get '/stories/:name', to: redirect {|params, req| "/posts/#{params[:name].pluralize}" }
get '/stories', to: redirect {|p, req| "/posts/#{req.subdomain}" }
Layouts and Rendering in Rails — Ruby on Rails Guides
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/layouts_and_rendering.htmlTried to render xml and xsd files. Again, I ended up using Rack instead.
render xml: @product render file: filename, content_type: "application/rss"
How can I get a rails route to keep the extension as part of the id? - Stack Overflow
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3409395/how-can-i-get-a-rails-route-to-keep-the-extension-as-part-of-the-id- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/948886/rails-restful-resources-using-to-param-for-a-field-that-contains-separator-chara
- http://poocs.net/2007/11/14/special-characters-and-nested-routes
At first, I was having success with rendering the wsdl, but the xsd files have periods throughout the file name. I wanted to be able to ignore the periods, but Rails thought what followed the period was the file extension.
map.resources :websites, :requirements => { :id => /[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+/ } do |websites|
websites.with_options :requirements => { :website_id => /[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+/ } do |websites_requirements|
websites_requirements.resources :dns_records
end
end
map.resources :users,
:requirements => { :id => %r([^/;,?]+) }
For Rails3 use :constraints instead of :requirements

Ruby on Rack #1 - Hello Rack! - (m.onkey.org)

[200, {"Content-Type" => "text/html"}, "Hello Rack!"]
end

SLF4J Error Codes
http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#StaticLoggerBinderApparently, there are way too many logging libraries. Unfortunately, some libraries package in their own perferred logging library. This poses some challenges when there are conflicts. I had to disable a javadoc generator plugin because it bundled a logging library that was compatible with another logging library in a different JAR resource.
Do your best to exclude those libraries causing conflicts.
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=velocity:velocityNext, exclude inner dependencies. And then if you have to, remove libraries that bundle too much for their own good.

Maven Repository: ch.qos.logback » logback-classic
» 1.0.13 http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/ch.qos.logback/logback-classic/1.0.13Dependency entry for logback logging library. There are so many logging libraries out there; this one seems to have a greater level of popularity.
ch.qos.logback logback-classic 1.0.13
Logback should be used in conjunction with SLF4J.
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
import ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext;
import ch.qos.logback.core.util.StatusPrinter;
public class HelloWorld2 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger("chapters.introduction.HelloWorld2");
logger.debug("Hello world.");
// print internal state
LoggerContext lc = (LoggerContext) LoggerFactory.getILoggerFactory();
StatusPrinter.print(lc);
}
}
Logback is intended as a successor to the popular log4j project. [It] is faster and has a smaller footprint than all existing logging systems...

http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/examples/filtering-the-dependency-tree.html- http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-optional-and-excludes-dependencies.html
When there are problems with dependencies, this is a vital tool to get some insight and resolve the problem. Sometimes those issues can be resolved by including an <excludes> block. Other times dependencies need to be moved around, either in a different order in a given pom.xml or moved into a different pom.xml altogether.
