HI, For a client I am using the following configuration: 1-An OpenDS server version 2.2 2-An...

Hi
We have a customer request for secured JMX monitoring ,a nd they are very strict on security.
the requirenments are:
JMX agaent can be accessed from the local machine only using tools like Nagios or jmxterm.
should be password protected.
should not expose any open post on the local network.

if we configure JMX with jmi connector and password authentication the the rmi port is available on the local network and a clever hacker can break it. of course one solution can be to block this port with a local firewal or some other way to block the port for access from outside the machine.

if we use the Attach API to start and access the JMX agent the password authentication is not available.

so the question is: what is the way to enablr JMX monitoring from the local machine only with password authentication and no port exposed to the local network.

Thanks.

there is a list of C# Programming Tools from MSDN(!) site

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vcsharp/aa336818.aspx

 

It refers to open source as well as MS products.

Mono, NUnit, NAnt in the list.

 

Particulary it lists alternative IDEs - SharpDevelop  and QuickSharp

The blog post compares the performance and memory footprint of Wicket vs JSF+Seam by implementing one of seam examples in Wicket. 

 

Bottom line: Wicket is a clear winner.

 

The author has other implementations, including for tapestry, grails and wicket with groovy / scala: http://code.google.com/p/perfbench/ (anyone up to writing a django implementation?)

 

Regarding Scala vs. Java, here's the same wicket page in Scala and Java:

Has anybody tried this annotation. I can't get it to work.

Despite some complaints from other people, official response on the problem - it work, there are unit tests... or can not reproduce...

 There is a great book about testing in java using TestNG

 

Next Generation Java Testing: TestNG and Advanced Concepts

 

 

This book covers many aspects of writing tests for java applications.

 

Very recommend to read it.

 

Unfortunately there is not ebook/pdf, just paperback and kindle edition from Amazon or from safaribooksonline.com

As part of Tikal Fuse Day we (the Java group) decided to get our feet wet with JEE6. Instead of develop a whole application ourselves from scratch, we wanted to “learn by example” by taking an example, understand its code, build and run it on GlassFish and JBoss AS.

from the site:

op4j (pronounced ['op-ah]is a developer happiness tool. It is a Java library aimed at improving quality, semantics, cleanness and readability of Java code, especially auxiliary code like data conversion, structure iteration, filtering, mapping, etc.

 
 
Examples of code are:
 

Set<Calendar> set =         
 Op.on(list).toSet().forEach().exec(FnString.toCalendar("dd/MM/yyyy")).get();

Hey Guys,

If you want to preserve data which is request specifc, I have an example for you:

 

Lets say your using pureMVC and you have a user window, and you make a request by notification and you want to remember who made that call (like the mediator name or something).

 

One way is to add the data to the asyncToken, so

 

var token:AsyncToken = service.getUsers;

toke.preservedData = {bla:bla}

 

And after the result comes,  you extract it from the ResultEvent like:

trace( event.token.preservedData );

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

There is another way...

 

If you want to keep things more strictly typed, you can you a custom Responder:

 http://www.cs.brown.edu/people/acb/codebubbles_site.htm

 

The project suggests a new paradigm for an IDE. The IDE presents an infinite virtual desktop and pieces of information are opened as bubbles. These pieces can be methods, searches, debug inspections. The IDE interlinks them and allows to save the opened bubbles for future reference.

 

There's an 8 minute video in the link above that features the IDE's capabilities.

 

The IDE is built on top of Eclipse, so in theory it can work with any Eclipse project.
