Mobile phone with RSS button!?

RSS on Mobile!It is interesting to see how online stuff is changing the gadgets we use. To regular blog readers, RSS feeds offer the convenience of reading everything at a single place.  So it was quite natural that someone will come up with a mobile phone which has an RSS button!

Samsung’s  ‘Mobile Wimax MITs SPH-M8100′ features a rather large RSS button along with number keys! You can check out photos of this cool mobile here.

Based on ‘IMS (IP multimedia service), it allows users to have access to data at the speed of up to 20mbps while they are aboard of a car moving at 60km/h. It means you can actually various kinds of IP-based service including VoIP, voice call, push-to-all service, VOD, RSS and etc. in real time. It also supports T-DMB and TV-out.

How do I find Struts version?

Recently while working on a J2EE project, I had to know the Struts version being used. The IDE used was Rational Application Developer. I couldn’t find an option in IDE which tells me the Struts version it is using!

The only way I could see was to open the struts.jar in Winzip and inspect the Manifest.mf. It showed Implementation-Version : 1.1. This means that RAD by default uses Struts 1.1.

I wanted to use the latest stable version of Struts (which is 1.3.5). Hence I deleted all the jars from WEB-INF/lib and then copied new jars from struts-1.3.5-lib.zip. Thats it!
