HTTP - doGet - Advantage?

Yesterday my friend argued when POST as all advantages [no limitation on how much data can be sent as against 256 in GET and so secure as nothing appears on URL].

I thought about it and realized very practical use of BOOKMARKING any subset of urls with GET.

We have lot of requirements to forward a direct link to an article page or details where we can just send the url as

http://www.something.com/article.do?articleId=123123

WOW.. we use this in daily life but just forgot how advantages it is.

How many cookies per domain

20 cookies for per domain and 300 cookies per uniqe user also they can limit each cookie's size to 4096 bytes

How to conduct J2EE Interviews

Recently I had opportunity to interview few candidates for one of our J2EE projects. I was surprised to know Java guys are forgetting the fundamentals and just becoming laborers of APIs. With the advent of IDEs,API knowledge also weakening. So are we headed?

In this juncture, a common web developer just knows how to utter few geek framework keywords and expects to land on a job. This does not seems to be good progress. This motivates to me share few topics on conducting interviews/achieving success in interviews.

Last not the least, here your have few refresh courses
