A Java Core Service Client for SDL Tridion 2013

Since SDL Tridion 2013 is out for a few weeks, I thought I should upgrade the previous Core Service Java client to the latest Tridion version.

The JAR distributable [direct link] for Core Service client SDL Tridion 2013 is available here: https://code.google.com/p/yet-another-tridion-blog/source/browse/trunk/Core+Service+Java+Client/#Core%20Service%20Java%20Client%2Fdist

There are no changes in its functionality. This is a compatibility release.

Running sp_updatestats on AWS RDS database

Part of the maintenance tasks that I perform on a MSSQL Content Manager database is to run stored procedure sp_updatestats . exec sp_updatestats However, that is not supported on an AWS RDS instance. The error message below indicates that only the sa account can perform this: Msg 15247 , Level 16 , State 1 , Procedure sp_updatestats, Line 15 [Batch Start Line 0 ] User does not have permission to perform this action.

I Have Gone Dark

Maybe it's the Holidays, but my mood has gone pretty dark. That is, regarding the look and feel of my computer and Tridion CME, of course. What I did was to dim the lights on the operating system, so I installed Placebo themes for Windows 7 . I went for the Ashtray look -- great name :) My VM looks now like this: But, once you change the theme on Windows, you should 'match' the theme of your applications. Some skin easily, some not. The Office suite has an in-built scheme, which can be set to Black , but it doesn't actually dim the ribbon tool bars -- it looks quite weird. Yahoo Messenger is skinnable, but you can't change the big white panels where you actually 'chat'. Skype is not skinnable at all. For Chrome, there are plenty of grey themes. Now i'm using Pro Grey . But then I got into changing the theme of websites. While very few offer skinnable interfaces (as GMail does), I had to find a way to darken the websites... Enter Stylish -- a pl

REL Standard Tag Library

The RSTL is a library of REL tags providing standard functionality such as iterating collections, conditionals, imports, assignments, XML XSLT transformations, formatting dates, etc. RSTL distributable is available on my Google Code page under REL Standard Tag Library . Always use the latest JAR . This post describes each RSTL tag in the library explaining its functionality, attributes and providing examples. For understanding the way expressions are evaluated, please read my post about the Expression Language used by REL Standard Tag Library . <c:choose> / <c:when> / <c:otherwise> Syntax: <c:choose> <c:when test="expr1"> Do something </c:when> <c:when test="expr2"> Do something else </c:when> <c:otherwise> Do something otherwise </c:otherwise> </c:choose> Att
