Spring MVC exception handling gets easier with @ControllerAdvice with the release of Spring 3.2.1. You can annotate your class as shown below and add a method to handle exception @ControllerAdvice public class AppCoreController { @ExceptionHandler(Exception.class) public @ResponseBody RequestStatus handleException(Exception exception) { RequestStatus errorStatus = new RequestStatus(); errorStatus.setMessageCode(-999); errorStatus.setMessageDescription(exception.getMessage()); return errorStatus; } } Please note that RequestStatus is a custom controller and yeap we are returning an class / object type as oppose to just String data type.  These add exception handling capabilities to all your existing controller.

Knockoutjs markup evaluation is javascript like

Lets say you have an observable called "totalRecordCount" and using the following code to evaluate if a markup should be visible. data-bind="visible : $index < $root.totalRecordCount" All these will be evaluated to false, until ......... data-bind="visible : $index() < $root.totalRecordCount()" Seems like evaluation falls back pretty much to traditional javascript evaluation.

Here are some methods that you probably need to know to work with jstree. 1.

Get the path from root to the currently selected node  var parents = $("#" + treeDivControlName).jstree("get_path", selectedNode); 3. Creating a  new node in your tree  $("#" + treeDivControlName).jstree("create", selectedNode, "inside", newNode.node); 4. Removing the currently selected node  $("#" + treeDivControlName).jstree("remove", null);  // null will remove the currently selected node

Working with JsTree : Create a tree

jstree is one of the most popular javascript tree user control around.  However, using it is not so straight forward. Let's go ahead and create your first jsTree.
