Submission + - RIAA Short on Funds? Fails to Pay Attorneys Fees

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes: "Can it be that the RIAA, or the "Big 4" record companies it represents, are short on funds? It turns out that despite the Judge's order, entered a month ago, telling them to pay Debbie Foster $68,685.23 in attorneys fees, in Capitol v. Foster, they have failed to make payment, and Ms. Foster has now had to ask the Court to enter Judgment, so that she can commence "post judgment collection proceedings". According to Ms. Foster's motion papers (pdf), her attorneys received no response to their email inquiry about payment. Perhaps the RIAA should ask their lawyers for a loan."

Submission + - SCO loses - finally 1

An anonymous reader writes: The one summary judgement that puts a stick into SCO's spokes has just come down. SCO doesn't own the Unix copyrights. With that one decision, a whole bunch of other decisions will fall like dominoes. As PJ says, "That's Aaaaall, Folks!".

Hot off the presses: Judge Dale Kimball has issued a 102-page ruling [PDF] on the numerous summary judgment motions in SCO v. Novell. Here is what matters most: [T]he court concludes that Novell is the owner of the UNIX and UnixWare Copyrights. That's Aaaaall, Folks! If anyone can please put this into text for us, that'd be simply great.

Comment Spring + Sitemesh + Freemarker (Score 1) 156

While there are many different ways to skin this cat, our workplace (and my previous one, and the one previous to that) uses an MVC approach utilizing the Spring framework, Sitemesh (to handle the header, navigation, and footer portions of the presentation) and Freemarker as the view technology.

This approach has worked incredibly well as it allows our rather large applications to be split up amongst several developers, each of whom have strengths in different areas (although each can code in any layer, be it presentation, business logic, web services, or data layers).

In essence, we use Spring based controllers to handle the GET/POST requests, build the model (which is then exposed to Freemarker), and pull in the presentation view (which is obviously Freemarker based).

Sitemesh is used as a filter to decorate the Freemarker-generated web pages (presentation) with headers/footers and whatever navigation is relevant on that particular page.

All in all, a very nice setup, with good separation of powers (ie., MVC).
