With only the ‘you may now kiss the bride’ custom to follow, the ORACLE/SUN marriage (or dare I say SUN/ORACLE) is now finally complete. After months of legal wrangling which has caused nothing but embarrassment and dwindled SUN’s stature within the market sphere, reports also came out that half of Sun's 27,000 staff will be made redundant. Thus initial indications are clear that Oracle, known for its past agnosticism to open source has an eye for the merger being based on maximizing profit.

Zip and Unzip are a very common activities for a computer user. A user normally uses the zip utility to compress a directory to create a zip file. There are many ready-made software such as winzip,7zip, and winrar that are available to achieve this. However, it is also possible to protect the zip file with a password so that the end user has to provide the password to unzip the zip file. This is the very common scenario that can be achieved by a zip utility tool. The significant part of my article is to provide you with the solution to achieve this using a Java program. While developing the project you may encounter a scenario in which you have to create a password-protected zip file that can be unzipped by any zip tool like winzip. Let me provide a complete scenario for your understanding.

What are the essential concerns, best practices and techniques to help better maximize the security posture of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) deployments? In his session at the 5th International Cloud Expo, Glenn Brunette, Distinguished Engineer and Chief Security Architect at Sun Microsystems, will discuss the specific architectural models, configuration ideas, and deployment techniques that will help reinforce your services from attack.
Under JDev 11g when you start playing with importing Bounded Task Flows (BTF) through ADF Libraries into a master ADF application, you're likely to start encountering the errors JBO-34010 and JBO-25058. This post discusses why these errors occur in context of ADF Libraries, and composite master ADF application comprised of 1 or more BTF sub-applications.

During another staff meeting, as I told the story of the two frogs that fell into the milk bucket (the lazy one drowned in minutes but the hard-working frog created a layer of cream to climb on and saved its life), one of the new staff members raised his hand and said at his previous job they took the hard-working frogs and threw them in other milk buckets to produce more cream for the company. I think that answer was a poor excuse for laziness. In these tough economic conditions, this young man lost his job several more times I heard, after his very short career with our company. I have other examples too that support my views on passion and excitement in the workplace.

The real-time embedded database folks at McObject have slapped a Java Native Interface (JNI) interface on their eXtremeDB widgetry and claim it’s the fastest possible database solution in Java-dom. The move is supposed to underscore their attempt to broaden the product’s appeal by pushing it out to developers of Java-based set-top boxes and other embedded systems who get a proven off-the-shelf database with minimal RAM and a small 100KB CPU footprint in return.

VMware is out with both Java and Python open source SDKs for its vCloud API meant to appeal to open source developers and ISVs. VMware said key open source client libraries and tools such as Dasein, jclouds and libcloud are now available for the vCloud API. Cloudera, which uses libcloud in its Hadoop distribution, and WebAppVM, which uses jclouds, have already used the SDKs to create solutions for vCloud Express.

Pillar Axiom is an ideal storage platform for cloud environments because of its flexibility, performance, scalability and unique QoS capabilities. Much like Pillar did with its SSD and 2 terabyte SATA drives, the company is again making it possible to extend new product technology into a system without disruption, giving cloud providers new flexibility in deploying and morphing storage to meet diverse user and application requirements. In a separate press release today, Eagle Business Solutions announced that Pillar Axiom has been chosen as the storage platform to support its cloud-based, application hosting service.

Thursday, January 21, 2010 – The European Commission this morning waved Oracle’s $7.4 billion acquisition of Sun Microsystems through without any strings attached. It’s been blocking the deal since September because Sun owns the popular open source database MySQL, one of the legs of the fabled LAMP stack, and was certain Oracle would roll over and crush it.

If you are using Actuate's JSAPI to run BIRT reports and you wish to pass parameters from a SEAM component this can be done very easily. In addition you can combine SEAM remoting with the JSAPI to do some interesting things. For example assume we create a SEAM component that retrieves report parameters that we want to use with the JSAPI. The component would look similar to this:
