In some case, you cannot replicate a bug on your developement environment. One way to resolve this issue is by simply running your existing code in a designer on the environment and you're good to go. But what happens when the environment does not have a UI? What happens when you do development on Windows then deploy to AIX?First, it's important to notice that what X-server is and is not. "X-Server" is a process which handles and manages a certain (physically available) display. This usually runs on a client. Think of an "X-Server" as sort of a driver for a graphics card. "X-Client" is a process which uses an X-Server to display (a window with) some information on it. This usually runs on the server. Some more information regarding X-Server on AIX, check this link. The following steps will help you run the designer on a AIX box from your Windows Machine. Read More... 0 trackbacks

NOTE: This whole article is a simple copy from Jens's original post. I've copied it because I could only see it in the RSS feed and not from the site itselfTIBCO stores it password not in plain text. It uses some kind of obfuscater to hide the actual password. This is in general not a bad idea, because the passwords are stored in files which are located in the ear, deployed on the server. So if somebody stumble on these files (or use a document search which opens ear files) the password doesn’t appear in clear text. As always there is an exception, TIBCO encourages users to put authentication information in so called Identity files. These are necessary to provide the username and password for a basic HTTP authentication. Now that you put your password into the form it is stored ’securely’. On the other hand, if you need this password (maybe to tryout the authentication in a browser) it is not possible to retrieve the original password from this file. As far as I could tell TIBCO provides no way to revert the encoded string back to clear text. So, naturally, I came into this situation and needed a tool to retrieve my password. Here is what I came up with. As you can see I just called the TIBCO routine for encryption and decryption. So that way it is guaranteed that it will always work with TIBCO, in case you exchange the content. Now I just needed to get the password string out of the file. My identity file looked like this Important is just the string in the password tag. I pasted it back to the command line and voila a clear text password. java -cp $TRA_LIB/TIBCrypt.jar:$TPCL_LIB/slf4j-jdk14.jar:$TPCL_LIB/entrust/enttoolkit.jar:. start decrypt '#!MizrSLa75zCti02QZHO5JNnt39hhMCGC'By the way, this also works for global variables.
TIBCO BW is using log4j behind the scene to log all the activities output to the console. The good thing about it is you can extend it to log your own Java code... Read More...

I've done some research while alone at home and found a very useful tool that can save your life... or at least your WII.If you've modded your WII, your are aware that it can be easily bricked if you update the firmware using a update from a different region of you WII. The Team Twiizers has just release a beta 2 (still very stable) of a tool called "BooMii". This tool is designed to replace the boot sector of your wii with theirs. With that, you will be able to boot the tool before the official boot system take place. The tool also allow you to make a backup of your current firmware and config in case something happen, you will be able to restore it without any issue. Read More...

I found a good site that compares the different new RIA frameworks. It is not meant to decide "which on is the best", but more to compare the capabilities of each framework.The comparison points are: * Platform/Technology * User Experience * Browser Support * UI Code * Access Remote Services & Data. * Code Complexity Management * Tool Support / Eclipse Integration * Refactoring & Code-Completion Support * JEE Integration * Migration * Performance * Static-Content (Externally Managed) * Testing * Accessibility * Printing * Search Engine Optimisation The Link is here. |
