Yes, I looked into that option (and even looked at the JBoss sources to see how they were implementing authentication/sessions over RMI), but EJB was simply too heavy duty for my purposes. The app had to run on people's computers, not on central servers.

The author spends a bit of time talking about Custom socket factories in RMI, which is used to make RMI calls over SSL sockets.
Here's 'the scoop' from sun. It refers to JDK 1.3 - as far as I know, everything you need is in JDK 1.4 now, no need to get the JSSE ppackages.

Having come from a background of Servlet/JSP development, I was quite surprised to see that RMI lacked what I consider a basic feature of distributed computing - authentication and session tracking; this forced me to develop my own, but this is obviously a common need and should be handled by the RMI runtime. I haven't worked with CORBA beyond a couple toys to learn the system, but my understanding is that CORBA does have these feature.
The book itself is excellent - I purchased it after starting to work on a large project with RMI, and realizing that a couple online tutorials wouldn't cut it. The advanced section isn't quite as advanced as I had hoped, but overall the book is a decent reference.
The concept of adding self-contained "bricks" of hardware/software to build functionality in a system of devices sounds a lot like the goals of Sun's Jini project, not necessarily limited to traditional computing applications though.
1. Write any script.
2. Get any "big name" actor to be in your movie.
3. Make money.
Simpler, isn't it?
There was a good frontline recently, claiming that most of the big studios rarely consider the script as an important part of the process of making a movie - sad but true. The actors, tie ins, marketing, branding, etc are all much more important factors.
I don't think that's the answer. Many of us would still like to use Apache in front of Tomcat. This is easy to do with Apache + Tomcat when downloaded from Apache.org, but the integrated JBoss/Tomcat downloads from JBoss don't integrate easily with Apache (tomcat's config files are ignored when instatiated by JBoss).
I've looked into this but haven't had the time to make it work. Go to JBoss.org and go through the forums, people have made this work, and there are vague instructions:).
I ask a doctor to take some cells from my body, and use them as a basis to generate new cells that can be used to treat a disease that afflicts me. Where does a "new human life" enter the picture? If you're suggesting that the cells that they utilize might possibly develop into a "new human life", then couldn't you make that same claim concerning every sperm or egg cell? Should we be write legislation to force women to take hormones to prevent ovulation, saving precious potential "new human life" from being flushed down the toilot? Is mastrabation unethical, from your viewpoint?
Ahh, true, that was IPX. My memory is a bit hazy, it's been about 6 years since I've used it, and it took me 5 minutes to remember the name (I was convinced it was Shiva for a few minutes - which unfortunately also produced some networking related hits on google...).
It can't be too hard to create virtual lans though (all tcp/ip traffic), and even linking two lans via a VPN should allow the XBox to find other machines to play against.
I guess I'll have to actually go to the site and read what the obstacles were instead of just talking out of my ass:)
Hmmm, a virtual LAN...this sounds familiar. I believe that a software package called Kali (www.kali.net) has been doing this for years and years. I remember using this for doom or quake or something like that.
I agree with you on the bundling, to me, it only makes sense to do that kind of integration, looking at it from a technical perspective. On the other hand, as far as the strong arming, when a company as large as MS wrestles with what was essentially a startup at the time, I don't agree that NS should have been expected to 'figure out a way...'.
I won't take the 'anyone with brains' comment personally:)
Well, the Justice department and states have made microsoft's practices w.r.t. netscape the crux of the antitrust lawsuit. The courts have, up to this point, agreed. This is what I mean when I think we can agree that it wasn't the technical merits that won the browser war. I'm not sure why you think that they fought fairly...
I wouldn't agree that netscape got complacent - imho, they got desperate and released, repeatedly, before they had something worth releasing.
But, arguing over the browser wars is overdone. I just wanted to point out that although there were some confusing name changes, Netscape 5 more or less coexists with the branded Netscape 6. And, it's a decent browser, imho.

Hmm, I remember Mosaic, and it was amazing. So was Netscape 1 - for the time, and considering what HTML at the time could do. My first webpage was, of course, lame by today's standards as was the browser, but at that time it was quite impressive. I don't think any IE before V3 even got close to Netscape.
True enough that MS currently dominates, but I think that everyone can agree that that was due to illegal practices on Microsoft's part.
As for Netscape 5, well, that's Mozilla - it exists. I use it everyday - Netscape 6 is Mozilla will 'buy now' links embedded (and an instant messenger built in).
I agree entirely. As a Java/JSP programmer, I've butted heads repeatedly with our graphics team over html. The programmers want xhtml/css, and none of this crap with embedded tables and transparent gifs. I try to explain to the graphics guys that this is not a magazine, it's a web page, but they don't seem to be able to get it...we end up wasting so much of the programmers' time integrating their bizarre html with our Java code. Now and then I drag one of them over to show them what their page looks like in Netscape 4 on Linux (fucking nasty!).
If you don't code html simple and to the standards, it will only look good on your machine/browser.
I think that recent events have demonstrated that the United States is going to attempt to enforce its laws against citizens of other countries if they are stupid (or naive) enough to enter the US. I don't think that it's Alan Cox setting the precedent; if American authorities are going to be going to conferences and arresting people, it probably does make sense not to have conferences in America. Hmm, that sounds kinda scary when it's said out loud, but that's what's happening...
I don't plan on entering the States anytime soon, but that's because my last name is Muslim and I don't feel like being strip searched at the border...

I've been using MySQL for a couple months, nothing too serious, just storing some content for my website. After reading the posts concerning MySQL vs. PostgreSQL, I was convinced that I should switch to PostgreSQL....In the end, I want a complete JDBC driver and SQL92 DB.
So, I went to the website and decided to order a CD. I'm on a broadband connection and it would download in a couple minutes, but I wanted to support the development.
I attempted, but their 'purchase' page had no submit button for the form. I let them know, and got the response that there was a submit button. I checked under IE on my roommates' win me machine (and in the html) and there is one.
So, I've heard all these great things about PostgreSQL? Anyone know when, or if, they will support Linux? Until then, I guess the MySQL vs. PostgreSQL argument is kinda moot...
I installed the OS, and it's been running ever since. The product, in this case, is better then the admin. I knew my limitations and chose an OS that I knew would be secure and safe to place on the net, and over time, I've learned how to activate more and more of it's functionality.
With MS, I would have had to install, then hunt for patches, then disable services that I didn't need. In that case, yes, the product is only as good as the admin. But this doesn't have to be the case.
I also have implemented a reporting solution using Java/XML/XSL-T. We move and store data using XML, and when it comes to reporting we just using XSL-T to transform to HTML and display in the user's browser. Good for short reports (a few weeks), and for longer we simply do the transformation offline and save the HTML.
As for XML->PDF, this exists, it's called FOP. Go to xml.apache.org and check it out. It will do everything you want and more than anyone possibly needs:)

Kind of like arresting someone because they might get in a car accident 10 years down the road.
If it's my car that they're stealing, I'd rather stop them now rather than waiting for them to get into an accident.
