Are you tired of issues with Runtime.getRuntime().exec()? I was! So I decided to create a small library to handle all the issues. Once and for all. Main featuresIt's easy to redirect stdin, stderr and stdout to appropriate Java Input and Output streams, so you can now embed operating-system processes inside your applications. It's very easy to cancel a running process, by using the Future<Integer> interface. Automatically handles pipipng process streams into Java streams (and viceversa). Runs well in Linux and Windows. Probably runs well in Solaris and MacOSX too (haven't tried yet though) You can specify a working directory for the running process. Very small library (just one final class and two interfaces). Sources and binaries are available in my attic, of course.

It was 1995 and C++ was the language of choice for building large-scale software systems. C++ was a powerful object-oriented programming language, the successor of widely used procedural language called C. But not only was C++ powerful, it was also quite complicated. Seasoned programmers enjoyed the intricacies and the possibilities, but newbies would get burned after the first mishandled copy constructor.

A variety of frameworks are available for using web services in Java. The one we’ll use is the open-source Axis (Apache Extensible Interaction System) framework from Apache.

Because JWebUnit is based on JUnit, the concepts of test cases, suites, and fixtures are the same. Let’s create tests for a couple of the pages of the eMotherEarth application as an example. One of the setup items common to all the test cases in JWebUnit is the BaseURL. All the other URLs in the test case are based on this URL.

{mos_sb_discuss:34} JDBC has got two kind of drivers  — "thin" driver —or OCI driver — connecting to Oracle —, A  database accessable class, — insert, update and select functionalities. 

{mos_sb_discuss:34} You must have heard about the recent buzzing technologies – EAI, SeeBeyond or JCAPS. If you were wondering what this EAI and SeeBeyond or JCAPS is all about then you are at the right place.

 Introduction With the advent of technical Civilization, where competition is the only survival maxim, JAVA is much ahead than its counterpart technologies. Its flexibility is its power and 'inheritance of legacy' is buzzword among techno-savvy. JAVA and C++ have much in common and indirectly depends on C.Java is a hot property of Sun Microsystem, thanks to its godfathers such as James Gosling, Patrick Naughton, Chris Warth, Ed Frank and Mike Sheridan.?

{mos_sb_discuss:34} The Talk describes the Java Memory Model and what effects the way of concurrent software which should be written. Last changes to the memory  model, which they were incorporated into JDK 5, defining the semantics of threads, synchronization, volatile variable and the final fields. The new memory model provides efficient and provably correct techniques for safely and correctly implementing concurrent operations. These techniques are compatible with existing good programming practice, although care needs to be taken in a couple of corner cases. This talk will provide a simple and clear definition of what synchronization actually does, define the semantics of volatile variables and the java.util.concurrent.atomic package (and how they can be used to create efficient concurrent implementations), and describe how final fields can be used to provide thread-safe immutable objects without synchronization. This talk is part of the Advanced Topics in Programming Languages series.    

{mos_sb_discuss:34} There are significant differences between earlier versions of Enterprise Java Beans (EJB) and EJB 3.0. At least some of these pertain to business components. EJB 3.0 makes it a lot easier to implement the complexity required by many enterprises in fewer steps. Keep reading to learn more.
