I have designed a website with the GWT, This is purely a static site and it doesnt have any servlet or any rpc part involved in it. Its just a plain static pages in GWT .I have compiled with the GWT and there are all related html ,.js files are present in the public folder. Now i want to host the same in any of the web host.
Good web host to host this web site.
Procedure to upload the GWT compiler output files into the web host.
Note:- I tried with the google app engine but it had issues as i have couple of video files that needs to be uploaded which is embedded in the webpage.
Thank you

I think this is not really a "GWT hosting" problem, but rather a "hosting" problem. Finding a good host is not that problematic though. I suggest you to look up webhosting in your own language and country, which makes it easier to contact the hosting company in case of problems.
I don't suggest a free hosting, unless you really can't afford a payed host. Your site being static, would require a cheap host. Free hosts have always got some problems and some advertising attached to your content in some way (frames and popups).
For the uploading part, you usually get a (s)ftp account which you can use to upload your files to the server with a (s)ftp client. Good companies provide detailed description of this process for their server, and as being a paying customer, you will usually get technical support as well.
It's good to know that a host alone doesn't include a domain. To have a yourcompany.com address, you need to register it, and you will have to pay a (low) registration fee. Some compaines offer the domain as part of the hosting service.

I host a few small GWT (client-only) apps on the same site I host my blog. There's no problem. In the end GWT is just javascript with a couple of html files, and thats all thats really being hosted.

Ummmmm...why not host it on Google App Engine?
It's free and deployment is easy if you're using Eclipse.

2 weeks ago I assume a new project for Search Engine Optimisation.
Lately, I realize that the developer was in charge before has created a test site which is live. The result of this situation is the test site has much better SEO and more traffic than the normal one.
So my question is what should I make:
Should I redirect every page of the test site to the normal? and how!
Should he just delete the test site?
What I am thinking and please suggest me if this right or wrong, is:
Google now crawl the test site which looks like the original because created first and then crawl the normal site which looks like is duplicate site and they give it penalties.
So if I delete the test site Google crawler will crawl normal site as the original, right?
Of course, if there is a way to redirect all the traffic to normal one and increase the SEO Score would be awesome.
Hope my question is clear enough. I 'll appreciate any suggestion!
The resources I have found but doesn't solve my problem are:

Redirect all traffic to root of another domain
You have 2 options.
1) Block test site for Crawling ASAP.
1.1 Here is the simple code you need to add on robots.txt
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
1.2 Now, you need to redirect all test site URL to normal site.
(In this option, your Test site traffic convert to Normal site)
2) Take backup and delete your test site
Currently, Google have your Test site, so you need to fetch normal site in Google. after few time Google algorithm crawls normal site, they can start give priority to Normal site.

I am working on a website with a group of friends. The problem that we are having is that when any one of us wants to make a change in the code, we have to send the project back to one main person, who uploads it online.
Is there a tool available that would allow multiple team members to login from different locations and make changes to the website directly so that the website would be updated immediately after editing?
Thanks!
There are multiple different ways to address this issue.
To answer your question directly, Yes. There are tools that allow you to edit the website directly on the server, this depends a lot on where the website is hosted and how you can get access to it. If your server supports FTP or SFTP all you have to do is find an FTP client and get the correct credentials for your server to log in.
There are many editors out there that allow you to edit files over FTP or SFTP so it feels very much like you are just editing a file on your local machine. Personally I use Coda 2 which is on the Mac Platform, but there are many other choices.
Even though you can do this, its not usually the best way to go about creating a website with multiple developers. Here are some potential issues:
Working on the same file at the same time: If you and a friend are working on the same file at the same time, its very easy to overwrite each others changes. If your friend saves to the sever and you don't get his changes before you save, you'll overwrite everything he just did.
Users are affected: Once you launch your site, making live changes on the site creates a bad experience for users. Its way to easy to break stuff and you don't want users finding their way to a partially completed feature.
To solve these issues you'll want to look into some type of version control system like Git http://git-scm.com. and get a local development environment setup so you can run the site on your computer.
With git you can edit a specific part of the site on your local computer, push those changes anywhere you want like a staging server, your friends local site or even the production server if you want. git handles merging your changes in with your friends changes and much more. This way you can build full features locally then only push them up to the server when they are complete.

How can I migrate my website into a content management system [closed]

I have designed a website for my brother's company using Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.
How can I create a content management system (CMS) for him to let him easy to edit or post news in his website? I think that using Dreamweaver will be difficult for him.
Any CMS is going to require server-side scripting. Typically one starts with a CMS framework, and then designs the theme around it. There is no easy way to "CMSify" your Dreamweaver design. I suggest you take a look at the Wordpress framework, which will require a PHP backend. Here is a link to a tutorial on creating custom Wordpress themes.
It's not an easy task if you don't have any experience with scripting, but depending of the complexity of the website there are some good options. What I mean is, depending on how much dynamic the site will be. Put yourself some questions like:
Is the website mostly static, and only some text areas and images have to be updated? Or are there more dynamic parts that involve the creation of new pages, like a blog or a "products" page? Do you need a friendly backend, or would your brother be ok with updating text in text files? Will it be only your brother updating the content, of he will need to manage several users?
The degree of difficulty for you will be proportional to the degree of friendliness of updating to your brother/users.
Depending on the answers to those questions you can use something has:
as a file based CMS without interface (Kirby) or with (Monstra,
razorCMS)
A very simple to convert but also very basic CMS (Surreal, Cushy,
Perch)
A full blown CMS that will take longer to learn, but give
all the flexibility to do whatever you want (there
are many choices, but Processwire is my absolute favourite)
Rather than creating a CMS, try installing an existing one that will import your static pages and perform the main steps of making them work in the new system. It's not that hard to do from scratch, but many web hosts will have some of these systems pre-installed. You can find out what CMSs your web host offers, and then Google "[name of CMS] import html".
The MODX CMS (modx.com) has some decent tools for importing HTML into the system. Detailed instructions here.
WordPress has various plugins you can install to do the same thing, including HTML Import 2. Detailed instructions here.
WordPress works best for people who like a simpler interface. MODX works best for people who like design control, and also for people who plan on doing a lot of their own code to extend the system.

Currently I'm working on penetration testing particularly SQL Injection, for that I'm using OWASP ZAP tool, after configuration I can able to trace my web application into that ZAP tool, but the thing is I can't able to trace my web application that I'm running in my IE8. Actually in manual clearly they mentioned it will support for IE8, but I can't. Please provide me some suggestions regarding this.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, ZAP will support IE8 - I've tested it myself.
I'm assuming that you have configured ZAP as IE8's proxy as per: http://code.google.com/p/zaproxy/wiki/HelpStartProxies
Is you target app on the same machine? IE can be a pain when talking to local apps and will often ignore the proxy settings.
If so make sure 'Bypass proxy server for local addresses' is unchecked.
Whether you are targetting a local app or not make sure that the target host name is not in the IE8 Proxy Settings 'Exceptions' list - in IE8 / Internet Options / 'Local Area Network (LAN) Settings' dialog click on the 'Advanced' button.
If the target host is in the Exceptions list then remove it.
Hopefully that will do the trick.
This is likely to be an 'IE' issue rather than a ZAP one. If you configure IE to use ZAP and nothing appears in ZAP then close ZAP and keep trying to use IE. If it carries on working then it is ignoring the proxy settings :)
Let me know if this works or not.

Can I make my own jabber server.So
that if I run my website xyz then
people should be be able to get
their jabber id from my website by
registering on my website.
Is there any open source
implementation of jabber server that
I can use?
I use Openfire to run my Jabber server and am quite happy with it. Probably higher-overhead than some of the other options (jabberd, ejabberd, etc.), but it's easy to install and has a great web-based admin UI.
As far as adding users via a web application - I don't know how you would go about doing that with Openfire, but it should be possible. It can plug in to many databases, and you might be able to give your web application an admin account that it can use to create users.
Alternatively, the Jabber/XMPP protocol supports creating a new account when you first connect to a server, if that's good enough for you. OpenFire supports that feature (as do most Jabber servers, I believe).
Update: The User Service Plugin for Openfire exposes an HTTP API for performing user administration actions. That's probably exactly what you need.

It depends on what kind of hosting you have. I think you should at least have VPS hosting to install the software. Basic hosting for a couple of bucks does not allow you to run jabber server.

I myself really like lua's prosody. It is easy to install / configure
You might like ejabberd, it is fairly friendly to new users:
http://www.process-one.net/en/ejabberd/
For you first question:
You might want to look at the XEP-0077 extension for in-band registration.
http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0077.html#intro
What language are you coding in? You might want to check and see if that language has a XMPP library that can handle this extension.
I've tried most of them and can agree on ejabberd. The only problem is that in order to change it, you need to program in Erlang. Openfire looks great, but I could not get the certificate to load properly: there is a bug with the implementation, so TLS will not work. I couldn't get Soapbox to access a local MySQL database, so that was out too.
As for client-side, you can use Miranda.
