"What a stupid troll."
I suppose one opinion deserves another. No baiting here. But, I suppose if I were to bait my comments, I'd catch you again.
Thanks for the input. I have to be honest when I say that you are the 1st person to tell me their Java app runs quickly. Most people I know (perhaps because I work with MS people) think it is slow as well and I believe the majority of programmers think the same. Perhaps a poll?
Anyone know how to steer this boat back on topic? I suppose we'd better abandon now...

OUCH!
Apparently Generalizations in SlashDot = Flames from Readers:)
Of course not EVERY application. Web applications are my forte, so I was speaking mainly toward Tomcat and JSP. Of course, I recognize the performance issues of large solutions in Java. Tomcat has done well to minimize the overhead of Java somehow. Perhaps because web applications usually have such a small footprint themselves. Maybe the book will tell us such things...
Is the issue of performance really related to the "only" (don't flame me for that) cross-platform language (Java) that is recognized and accepted by enterprise vendors, or is it the failure of hardware and OS vendors to not work together? Java and Tomcat have had great success. We'll see how.NET fairs after porting to Mono and it gets a few more years under its belt of "cross-platform" support. Even if it does, where will all the tools be?
So many tools exist for Java now that do not yet exist for.NET. Not to be a skeptic of the MS giant, because my job relies on their success, but we'll see what the future holds. Is "coming together" ever really the answer in this world? Where would we put all the port-o-potties?

How Tomcat Works

· Score: 4, Interesting
I have been paid to build MS apps for years now, but I have "watched" Java from a distance and have to say that if I started a business of my own, all applications would be written in Java/JSP. I was one of the first to attempt to build Tomcat on a Windows system and after many disasters came to love it. The inner workings of Tomcat often baffled me and now I am gonna have a book! Sadly nothing I learn will translate to my current job, but it'll be damn fun.

Since, I don't know how SlashDot handles the legalities of such, subject matter, I'll take it upon myself. YOU MUST BE 18 OR OLDER TO VIEW THE LINK ABOVE!
I suppose you could ask the same questions about Mach 10.
First of all, the backup should be a "pull" rather than a "push". This would eliminate the problem of a hacker getting on to the primary machine and "discovering" how to hack into the backup server.
I think the "ultimate" solution would be an OS that handles auto-backup of the file system. But, since I don't know of one, I suppose a backup server with "pull" software would be 2nd in line. Then, client-installed, scheduled backup software would come 3rd.
Here's my basic requirements list for backup software in no particular order: (feel free to tear it apart, add to it, or modify it)
Incremental - only creating new files, updating updated files, and deleting deleted files.
Staged - multiple backups should be stored across time, for example once each day is 1 backup and once each week is another
Compressed - the technology should be configureable to settle the tradeoff between size reduction and speed
Archived - backups themselves should be archived for a specified amount of time
Across multiple machines
Across multiple geographic locations
Provide regular monitoring reports to the administrator (e-mail, mobile alerts, whatever...)
Validate the backup against originals
Provide alerts to the administrator when the machine to be backed up is not available (for backup software that "pulls")
*Personally, I wouldn't include having the backup program watch for corrupted file systems. This should be the job of the computer itself and any anti-virus/spyware/adware software and possibly a monitoring server.
I wrote a console program for Windows that takes care of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 (scheduling is actually performed by Windows scheduler). It "pushes" the files for backup, rather than "pulling"... so, I went against my own rule there.
I tried Microsoft Windows XP backup for a while, but had some problems with the format. I definately think file backups ought to be in STANDARD FORMATS!!!!!!
I'll be the first to re-write "Pole Position" for this new car software.
Most of us have a reason for making "crash jokes" about Windows... so, here goes...
Blue Screen of Death now becomes the Black Street of Death
Even if MS software is not tied in with the underlying control systems, software crashes will likely result in more ROAD RAGE! I can see the guys of "Office Space" pounding the $h!t out of their car's printer port because the driving directions are jammed. I can also see hackers driving next to you and your family displaying a printout that reads "See Photos in His Car Files". Perhaps we'll all benefit from a new alien TV series called "Car X-Files". Gas stations will read "Please turn off cell phones and onboard MS software before filling up.":)
I suppose there will be benefits... I wouldn't mind WAR driving to connect and seek out the best gas prices close to me (which I can w/ my laptop, but it would be nice if it was in the car).
I think it's funny that the people complaining about Spyware use SlashDot which often serves DoubleClick ads. And the author who links to PCWorld which has a few DoubleClick and Avenue A, Inc. ads. The DoubleClick threat as defined by SpyBot reads, "Use information about your web surfing... that could include any information, like accounts and passwords." The threat for Avenue A, Inc. reads "They say they no longer do tracking."
Anyone remember that old apocalpyse movie from the 60's (I think...) that attempted to document the Bible's book of Revelations? The movie introduced the infamous "bar code" that was on everyone's forehead and hand that had the double line at the beginning, middle, and end signifying "666". People always talked about the bar code becoming an electronic chip of some sort. RFID? "Return of the Fallen Imp Devil"? I'm a Christian who always questions things, but this stuff kinda makes you think...:)
I'm a little surprised! This isn't new. Associate keywords or phrases with your links and then let the user search those keywords/phrases if the link doesn't work. You could implement this several ways and I strongly suggest getting an account with Google's AdSense to get paid for your broken links when people search (or any other paid search service). Get paid for broken links? What an idea! So, generate all of your sites links using a database and run checks on them periodically, or run all the links through a gateway that checks their availability. Or, crawl your site for broken links and replace them with a search replacement that picks up the links visible text. Then, when a link is broken, the visitor gets a nice, neat message and, hopefully, still gets the info they are looking for.
