/*
 * @File : layout.js
 */
require([ "dojo/dom", "dojo/on", "dojo/dom-construct", "dojo/dom-style", "dojo/dom-attr", 
  "dijit/layout/BorderContainer", "dijit/layout/ContentPane", "dijit/layout/AccordionContainer",
  "dojo/domReady!" ], 
function(dom, on, domConstruct, domStyle, domAttr,
  BorderContainer, ContentPane, AccordionContainer) {

 var app = new BorderContainer({
  id : "appContainer",
  design : "headline"
 }, dom.byId("app"));

 var topPane = new ContentPane({
  id : "topPane",
  region : "top",
  style : "background-color:#E1EBFD;height:auto;"
 }, dom.byId("headerDiv"));
 var leftPane = new ContentPane({
  id : "leftPane",
  region : "left",
  splitter : true,
  style : "background-color:#E1EBFD;width:25%;padding:0; margin:0;overflow:hidden;"

 var mainPane = new ContentPane({

"
 });
 var btmPane = new ContentPane({

"
 });
 app.addChild(topPane);
 app.addChild(leftPane);
 app.addChild(mainPane);
 //app.addChild(btmPane);
 app.startup();

 // -----------------------------------------
}); 

require(["dojo/dom", "dojo/on", "dojo/dom-construct", "dojo/dom-style", "dojo/dom-attr",

 ctnr.addChild(new ContentPane({

 }));

 ctnr.addChild(new ContentPane({

 }));

 ctnr.addChild(new ContentPane({

Reviving Archaic Tech: Setup DB Resource/JDBC Realm in Tomcat 7

Setup JDBC Realm in Context.xml

<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm"
driverName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
connectionURL="jdbc:mysql://localhost/jcredentials?user=root&password=*****"
userTable="users" userNameCol="username" userCredCol="passwd"
   userRoleTable="user_roles" roleNameCol="rolename"/>

Setup JDBC Resource in Context.xml

<Resource name="jdbc/jBlogDB"
auth="Container" 
type="javax.sql.DataSource" 
username="root" password="****"
driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" 
url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/jblog"
