Most modern Unix-based operating systems (e.g. Linux, MacOS X, and BSD) come with a little console-mode utility called GNU Screen. It's a powerful tool in the hands of the console warrior, a veritable Swiss Army knife of text-mode human-computer interaction.
This utility, despite its considerable usefulness, goes unused by a great many people.Friedrichhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10022082086253179330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469077.post-1091823573222082262004-08-06T16:17:00.000-04:002004-08-06T16:19:33.223-04:00Ubik

These days, it is becoming more and more rare for me to find cases where I think EJB is appropriate. However, that says as much or more about my personal changes in thinking and development practices as it does about EJB. Regardless, let's review the reasons that are most often cited for using EJBs.Friedrichhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10022082086253179330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469077.post-1075495368386514662004-01-30T15:42:00.000-05:002004-01-30T15:44:24.170-05:00The Distributed Cache Pattern
Your application is distributed over several physical machines for scalability.

I have long since wanted Jabber to become mainstream as a standard protocol for instant messaging and presence awareness. And I have run a Jabber server in the past but I found it lacking.

It provides all the spiffies I want, and that others seem to want in very few classes.

What is this?
JOCache is a Java library that implements strict object caching.
What does it mean that joCache is strict?
It's strict in that each cache enforces two limits in a very strict and predictable way.
# Max Size - each cache has a hard limit on the number of elements it will contain. When this limit is exceeded, the least valuable element is evicted.

Programmers familiar with AWT and Swing will find programming CHARVA Friedrichhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10022082086253179330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469077.post-1060381380513814312003-08-08T18:23:00.000-04:002003-08-08T18:23:00.536-04:00 Smartly load your properties
When you think about how to load an external resource in Java, several options immediately come to mind: files, classpath resources, and URLs. Although all of them eventually get the job done, experience shows that classpath resources and URLs are by far the most flexible and user-friendly options.Friedrichhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10022082086253179330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469077.post-1060211441554746422003-08-06T19:10:00.000-04:002003-08-06T19:10:41.626-04:00TMC Releases Performance Case Study Results

They say a successful open source project starts with an itch to scratch. In the case of this package, the itch was my own: I have started producing all of my documentation and other technical writing in XHTML, and I want a way to ensure that

J2EE provides a great deal of functionality besides servlets. Servlet developers may be reluctant to use such features, neither willing nor having time to replace their simple servlet containers with a big J2EE server that provides more than what they need.

As more developers learn and experiment with XML, many have become interested in using stylesheets to publish and manage Web sites. But getting started is not always that easy. Although none of the concepts, taken in isolation, is difficult, putting them together coherently is not a trivial undertaking.

The Abbot framework is a Java library that provides methods to reproduce user actions and examine the state of GUI components.

JDBM is a transactional persistence engine for Java. It aims to be for Java what GDBM is for other languages (C/C++, Python, Perl, etc.): a fast, simple persistence engine. You can use it to store a mix of objects and BLOBs, and all updates are done in a transactionally safe manner.

ICEMail, hosted on www.icemail.org and supported by the Giant Java Tree, is just such an application. It uses the JavaMail API, JavaBeans Activation framework, Java I/O, and features much of the Project Swing library. ICEMail also takes advantage of what the Java class libraries have to offer and then some. Yet, ICEMail is not perfect.

At the start of my dabblings in SyncML, I expected to have to implement a significant chunk of the SyncML protocol myself. Fortunately, since then two factors have made this unnecessary: first, the publication of the previous two articles (see part 1 and part 2) caught the attention of those working on SyncML, and they've let me know about their work; and second, the increasing Friedrichhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10022082086253179330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469077.post-1058102932126441482003-07-13T09:28:00.000-04:002003-07-13T09:28:52.110-04:00Enhance the accessibility of your GUIs
One of the main characteristics of the JFC/Swing framework is its ability to use pluggable look-and-feel designs.

I would like add a remove mecanism in a JTabbedPane like in mozilla.

The Java Toolbox column returns with this tutorial about a date-selection widget that displays a calendar and lets you select a date by clicking on it. It heavily uses the Gang of Four Decorator design pattern, so it provides a good example of that pattern at work; the article is as much about Decorator as it is about calendar widgets.

Computing economics are changing. Today there is rough price parity between (1) one database access, (2) ten bytes of network traffic, (3) 100,000 instructions, (4) 10 bytes of disk storage, and (5) a megabyte of disk bandwidth.

One of the most important decisions to make when deciding to build an application is "Upon what foundation should I build?"

This article discusses the technique of model filtering. You can use this technique with the Swing component set to provide alternative views of model data without altering the underlying data. Filters can alter the apparent content of data elements, exclude data from being viewed, include extra elements in a set of data, or present elements in a different order.
