jasperreports checksum issue with maven

The link to jasperreport jar broke my build over the weekend

Seems there is some monkey business going on at jaspersoft. See here and here for details.

Quick Solution is to just add this repo setting to your pom

  
      jaspersoft
        http://www.jasperforge.org/maven2
        
          false
         
         
            false
         
  

insertClob

/**
  * http://www.coderanch.com/t/295768/JDBC/java/inserting-large-file-CLOB-Oracle
  * @param clob
  * @param value
  * @throws Exception
  */
 public void insertClob(oracle.sql.CLOB clob, String value) throws Exception {
  try {
   OutputStream outstream = clob.getAsciiOutputStream();
   outstream.flush();
   outstream.write(value.getBytes());
   outstream.close();
  } catch (Exception e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
  }
 }

FCKEditor background color

An issue with the FCKeditor is that if you chance the background color for your main site, the editor background also changes, which makes editing a pain.

http://www.glfusion.org/forum/viewtopic.php?showtopic=30761

First find and edit

/public_html/fckeditor/fckconfig.js

Originally

FCKConfig.EditorAreaStyles = 'body { color:#000;margin-bottom:30px;} h1 {background:transparent;color:#000;font-size:1.4em;font-weight:700;margin:0 5px 0 0;} ul { list-style-position:outside;margin-left:5px;padding-left:15px;list-style:disc;vertical-align:middle;}' ;

Change to ( background:#FFFFFF ) is the main item

FCKConfig.EditorAreaStyles = 'body { background:#ffffff;margin-bottom:30px;} h1 {background:transparent;color:#000;font-size:1.4em;font-weight:700;margin:0 5px 0 0;} ul { list-style-position:outside;margin-left:5px;padding-left:15px;list-style:disc;vertical-align:middle;}' ;
