Easy and free migration workbench from MS Access,MySQL, SQL Server to Oracl
2007-03-06 21:47:00
Oracle went head to head with Sun to give away their products freely. One of the nicest product is Oracle JDeveloper (NOT jeveloper) for JSF, JSP, Swing, EJB, etc component building. It used be  a pretty expensive tool but now its free. Any developer working closely with a database needs a visual tool to deal with queries, oracle somewhat recently has open sourced Oracle SQL Developer (former name Raptor) to do just that. Besides that , today I've received an upgrade from Oracle SQL Developer allowing me to install a Migration Work bench , pleasantly surprised i can now migrate almost from any database to Oracle. Not only does it migrate tables and data, its capable of migrating Users and convert T-SQL to PL/SQL, how great is that?

Distributed way to integrate php and J2EE
2007-03-05 23:47:00
Php being the most adopted scripting language mainly running on Apache web servers. What could be in common with Java? Well , nothing except that the latest php 5.0 has borrowed the same syntax. Integra tion between the two languages is not something new, there are bridge libraries that allow php to use and invoke Java classes via special methods, although it has its own problems and limitation. Let's get to the bottom of it. The most distributed way in J2EE world is the implementation of EJBs , allowing millions of transaction at the same time where scalability is the key. A lot of companies might also have .NET modules and J2EE modules , possibly integrated via SOA (web services) and in some cases such as banks , JMS. JMS - java message service Let us assume that a web application written entirely in PHP which is quick enough, needs to use an existing Service written in Java. Exposing certain methods as web services is not always an option. www.caucho.com/resin-3.0/jms/tut...

Limiting JVM on Virtual Private Servers (VPS hosting)
2007-02-16 16:23:00
If you are planning or already own a VPS and would like to setup a J2EE server on it but you're having problems with limiting ram allowed for JVM this tutorial is right for you. VPS is definitely a affordable choice of running a J2EE server. Unlike the Private Server where you are the master of domain and all the CPU power as well as all of the RAM available belongs to you, VPS shares the CPU, RAM, space with other users ( not that many as on Shared Host ing ). If your simple command: [blah@blah]# java -version Throws you ugly: Error occurred during initialization of VM Could not reserve enough space for object heap Could not create the Java virtual machine. You're in for a treat, read ON.Read more...
