Right now I would really REALLY like to increase the female count in my dev team.
Ideally I would like to move towards 50/50 ratio, which sounds ridiculous (as I have only known 3 awesome female devs in my entire careeer), but, as my office is on Mallorca, has good pay (for Spain), amazing benefits, I really hope I can find 4 or so awesome female devs.
We'll most likely be doing a nationwide tv advertising campaign to get their attention..
I haven't been back home for almost 5 years, but it saddens me to see that only 7000 people were in protest.
Come on, there was 1/2 a million for the anti Iraq rallies, I guess since the public couldn't stop the government on that one they just can't be bothered anymore.
I never realised Australia had a problem with an over controlling government until I moved to Europe.
Something has to be done before you all just give up all of your rights!
I can understand that having an all in one layer is a bad thing.
The platform I use consists of 4 components which can be removed from the whole.
1 Template servlet. This is generic and can be integrated with any templating type.. Currently I use WebMacro
2 Database Core. This handles connection pools, Database Access Objects.
3 Caching System. This lets you cache database queries, or practically anything else.
4. Access Control. This system can be hooked into other components (such as WebMacro) to add security to template loading.
Where I currently work they use hibernate. I am suprised at the slow development time compared to what I can do. With my system the webdeveloper/scripter doesn't change any of the 4 components. They only write the scripts that hook into component #1.
Bleh... one of these days I am gonna have to make this thing public. There has to be other people wanting to have a faster method to develop web apps with Java.
* Tomcat * WebMacro * Custom Web Deployment platform.
The web platform has its own connection pooling, user access management (before template is evin processed), caching (of ANY object or abritary data / response), fully Java OO scripting language (thx to WebMacro), persistence, threading, database query management and resultset object representation.
Although not as good as the system where I used to work, my system is getting there.
It is scalable, fast, and very quick to develop on.
I am at a loss as to why there is so much hype on Hibernate.
I don't understand why everyone beats on about reliability etc... The truth is, that they ALWAYS go down for some reason.
As mentioned earlier, the company I work for sells the use of a payment gateway.
Where I work we have redundancy via the fact that we can process via any provider depending on the merchants requirements (we can rollover to a different provider in the case of failure). Basically the merchant can integrate for one API and the rest is magic.
If a merchant wanted fallover in case our servers fell, then, we can simply duplicate our setup and have it hosted in multiple locations.
I am not really a sales manager, and, don't really have to worry about getting new customers. So, I only offer this info as I am sure that there has to be a US company that offers similar services.
www.ogone.com is another company that offers a similar solution, although, I think they are restricted by merchant Id whereas we are not.
It is interesting to see that in the last six months the Java posts have increased on this website.
Maybe this is a sign that the slashdot community has a large volume of closet Java Geeks.
Or, it could be because the powers that be accept Java related posts over posts on how the Moller sky car is going to be released next week along with Duke Nukem Forever.

Let's see if I can!

Does hibernate compare to what I currently use:
:P

The company I work for has a multiple country/currency/provider solution.
That allows for realtime swapping of payment providers (in the case of failure) in a way that is transparent to the merchant.
We have the ability to geolocate and cluster such that we are always reachable in the event of one server being down etc...

Remind me again, where in the Australian constitution does it entitle us to free speech?
I was told ages ago (and thus could be very wrong) that free speech is a privelidge but not an right.
