linux is sold, and from redhat's perspective, their trademarks and copyright stuff, along with their packageing is enough to license their linux distribution such that you can't just grab a copy of it and install it on as many machines as you want. that's what fedora is for. RH decided to strictly license their RHEL distro. That's the reason for such distros as:Tao Linux, White Box linux.

i guess the author (i didn't read it of course) wanted to use something a bit more colorful than the typical logging example. there's many many places where aspects make sense, and most of those places have to do with extracting the layers of cruft we've added to our software layers. most of that cruft serves a usefull purpose, but gets in the way of application logic (security, logging, transactions, framework baggage).

anyone comment on running multiple apache instances on this suse 10.0? we're using the 9.x, and it seems that the recommendation is to just have the single apache listen on multiple ports. i'm interested in multiple instances of apache that can be restarted or at least re-read their config files w/o interrupting the other instances.
i use gentoo and i believe all the config files for an apache instance goes in/etc/apache2. the init script references this folder. so running multiple instances just needs a new init script and a new folder with config files.
you're kidding right? microsoft's current pdf capabilities lack something to be desired. we stich together several pdf fragments to create a final document, and whenever a ms pdf is encountered, things don't go smoothly. pdf in and of itself needs to become an open standard, or at least something like it needs to. adobe may have the standard printable document format atm, but i'd love a more open solution to come about.

every room doesn't have a smoke detector. i assume it's based on local building codes, but my home is 5 hrs old and on the ground level there is exactly one smoke detector. it's in a hallway between the front room and the back of the house which has the kitchen/family room. the family room has much used fireplace, but no smoke detector. upstairs, each bedroom has a detector, and one in the hallway. there's also one in the basement for good measure i suppose.
linux won't install on a laptop? you're serious? i've been running linux on my laptop since the day i brought it home (1.5 yrs). all the features of windoze. my cell phone allows me to plug my cell phone into the computer via usb and use it like a modem. costs minutes off the plan. free weekends and evenings. i can't get that to work under linux as of yet. that's it.

it's a fad that's going to eventually come around. there's only two examples because it's not fun stuff to develop. the current tools suck, cross browser issues are abundant, and how about following the specification?
the tech services folks love the internet applications due to the ease of deployment. they can count on nearly every user having a modern browser (mostly IE is sufficient). java and flash just aren't as widespread. on the other hand, internet applications suck. the controls are few in number and horribly limited in functionality. ajax only solves the one problem of a screen event causing the page to submit to the server, and waiting to rebuild the next page based on the response.
when things like toolbars, menuitems, tree views, tab controls, etc, etc, etc are standardized and available from the hyper text markup language, then i'll get excited about web development.
the response i've gotten is that it's more common for a user to install the flash plugin for their browser than to install the java jre. i'm told that it's not guaranteed that a windows desktop will have java applet capability, and if so, it's most likely limited to awt.
you have 2500 sq/ft with normal electric/gas heat/cooling and you're paying 130/month energy costs in what another poster mentioned was one of the most expensive energy locations in the nation?
interesting. i'm in ohio, with about the same specs on the house and average summer electric cost seems to be 110$ and above. gas heating in the winter is much more. i'm not on an average plan, but i just don't see how your bills can average 130/month...
just curious, why don't you all invest in geothermal cooling solutions?
let's assume it's 20k to install the geothermal cooling system. also assume it cuts your 300$ bill into half. so, you're saving 150$ per month for 9 months/yr. that's 1350$/year savings. assuming no inflation in energy costs, that system will be fully paid for in savings after ~14 years. after that, it's all money in the bank.
i was told on my lot that it's too rocky down below and that there wouldn't be much heat transfer with a rocky base.
besides that, your air conditioner will keep the inside a constant 69-72 no matter what hour it is (except if you have a time controlled thermostat , but are those really much more efficient during the peak usage)
ibm licenses the class libraries from sun and rebuilds them as they see fit for their particular jvm. for instance, each included separate versions of apache xalan to handle jaxp stuff in the 1.4 series.
i think sun has dropped (hopefully) xalan from their distro. it's hard for a web application to use it's own version of xerces when it's supplied by the jvm. you get only one shot to use the endorsed folder per jvm, not per web app deployed to the container.
ant made a mistake wrt junit. they include the ant task as part of the ant distribution (in the ant/lib folder), but they don't include the junit.jar. thus, a _standard_ install is not able to do junit testing.
you don't have access to always go around putting extra jars into the ant lib folder or even the ~/.ant_lib or whatever private folder ant also looks at for its main classloader. you can nearly assume you can do the following:
you sound a bit bitter for some reason? paying for documentation made you bitter? did you also expect to not pay for your college education?
the company needed to make some money, and at the time the docs was one way to do it. today, they seem to be making enough money off of supporting their now certified j2ee application server and supporting frameworks that the documentation is all freely available.
nearly everyone else who writes books also charges for their books, and most aren't released in pdf form. what's the difference with jboss?
jboss (the company) employs some very bright individuals and is on the cutting edge of providing service oriented enterprise level software frameworks. they continue to innovate at an amazing level and appear to be constantly ahead of the competition (bea/ibm/sun/oracle, etc).
fleury sounds like a very bright business person. he seems to undertand that developers like to use tools that they can learn easily in their off time. he also seems to know that corporate datacenters are willing to fork out some $$ for annual support contracts so that m-f 9-5, their employees might be more productive and focus on solving business problems rather than fixing issues with the environment their software runs under.
a "forked" jboss project would never get off the ground. would you envision this forked community creating better and freeer documentation? perhaps this forked community would innovate the software in better directions? perhaps you've heard of a small project called geronimo? it's an apache licensed j2ee container environment. if you compare their documentation to the jboss documentation, you'll see which is superior. while both products are certified for j2ee 1.4, which is actively working twords and providing tools for ejb 3.0? one is supported by a small open source company called jboss, inc. while the other is funded and backed by both IBM and bea. IBM, the cutting edge company that they are, where is their 1.5 SDK? without a 1.5 SDK, how are they going to provide an ejb 3.0 container for their mainframe environment, or for their power5 server machines (iSeries, pSeries, etc)?

i'd guess ibm went with linux only because they had already a corporate server room presence (RHEL/SuSE), and the BSD's most likely have much less deployments.
every single application server has classloading quirks. with BEA/WAS,etc you get to call them bugs and cry and shout that things aren't working right, then wait two weeks for a potential patch from support, that may or may not work.
i think the specs are farily clear regarding the application container provider's responsibilities regarding classloaders. care to expand on some of the things you see lacking?
if you read the jboss docs/examples, you'll see that there's a simple ant execution to setup multiple server instances without port conflicts.
just a hunch, but i don't think the apache folks will be able to quickly leap ahead of jboss wrt documentation and administration. bea/was give some silly console for server management that makes deployment a point and click fun little web based activity. those interfaces are error prone and lend themselves to inconsistiences in environments (test env doesn't match prod).
