The main purpose of this blog is to act as a reminder, a todo. Here are things i’ve just found and needs a second look at, or more, a testing.

  • Human readable Glassfish Log

    • This is a shell (sh) script that should made things easier when having a look or doing a « tail -f » at Glassfish error logs.

  • Rajeshwar’s Weblog

    • This is a blog, lately talking about Glassfish V3 REST api implementation. As far as I know this is (still) not working with GF v2, which already have JMX and, if you’re a registered Sun user, SNMP. But worth having a look.

  • Beet

    • It seems to me that most of developpers are using Spring framework nowadays. This tool should enable them (or force them ?) to have a deeper look of what the framework is actualy doing. Seriously, comments welcome. May be the weapon of choice for sysadmins like me, dealing with developpers who hide behing their framework (like if the framework was an excuse… huhuhu).

  • PandoraFMS

    • Another monitoring software… well… to be tested.

  • Oracle Database-backed iGoogle Gadgets

    • An interesting thing you can do with Google’s API… It should with any database, but hey, a free software working with Oracle is worth beeing mentioned :)

  • Other Oracle related articles
  • Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database

    • This is a PDF file dealing with TimesTen Database. This is a product newly (2 or 3 years) bought by Oracle, and well integrated. Embed the database close to the application, in the application server. Data are replicated at startup. You can choose which database, which table, which data using a filter, or even do transformations to the data. You select the synchronization frequency and there you go. I had a session OOW 2009 about that and how it was used to break a CDN application in two parts : one for slow data change (read/write to the DB) and one for massive fast queries on the delivery side. Ok, this use a lot of RAM… but RAM is cheap isn’t it ?

    Now we have some cool things to read and test, don’t we ? :)
