Java Open Source Workflow
Enhydra Shark
The Enhydra Shark project delivers an Open Source Java workflow server with a difference. It is an extendable and embeddable Java open source workflow engine framework including a standard implementation completely based on WfMC specifications using XPDL (without any proprietary extensions !) as its native workflow process definition format and the WfMC "ToolAgents" API for serverside execution of system activities. Every single component (persistence layer, transaction manager, scripting engines, process repository,...) can be used with its standard implementation or extended/replaced by project specific modules.


Enhydra JaWE
Enhydra JaWE (Java Workflow Editor) is the first open source graphical Java workflow process editor fully according to WfMC specifications supporting XPDL as its native file format. It can be used to edit / view every XPDL file which conforms to WfMC XPDL specifications , does NOT use any proprietary XPDL extensions and is available in English, German, French and Serbian language already. Advanced features like the consistency validation and guided property editor dialogs for all XPDL objects make it really easy to create valid XPDL files. The representation of workflow participants as "swimlanes" in the editor graphics gives a comprehensive overview of process responsibilities.

Java Open Source Application Server

Enhydra Server
Enhydra Server is an Open Source Java application and webservice server including standard Apache Tomcat (or alternatively Jetty) and Apache Axis with a very big difference ! While the servlet API is used to support presentation logic, the platform contains just about all enterprise level services to build extreme high volume web sites in an n-tier architecture. The architecture is designed for perfomance and in tests we showed incredible performance numbers ! Many Enhydra servers are powering the Web today, some catering to millions of transactions a day. One of the most talked about features of Enhydra is its Enhydra XMLC technology - an object-oriented standards based replacement for JSP that completely separates the designer and developer. In addition, Enhydra includes a relational-to-object mapping tool (Enhydra DODS), Enhydra Workflow (Shark and JaWE), clustering web server extensions for Apache, IIS and IPlanet and much more. Check it out, you won't be sorry! :-)


Enhydra Enterprise
This is the effort to bring the advantages of the Open Source Java application server Enhydra to existing J2EE container implementations. Open Source J2EE containers like JOnAS and JBoss are supported already ! And Apache Geronimo will also be packaged as an alternative to EAF addons for commercial J2EE servers like IBM Websphere, BEA Weblogic, Oracle and Sun J2EE servers.

Java Open Source Tools and Technologies

Enhydra XMLC
Enhydra XMLC is the presentation technology that supports the needs of designers, developers and architects alike, delivering what JSP cannot - strict separation of markup and logic in a true object view of dynamic presentations. XMLC is now fully portable to Tomcat 4, 5 as well as JBoss, BEA, Enhydra and other Web Container implementations. Enhydra XMLC is included in Enhydra Server and Enhydra Enterprise. Several Enhydra Demos also use XMLC !


Enhydra DODS
Enhydra DODS (Data Object Design Studio) is an open source relational-object-mapping tool with a difference. Based on XML data model descriptions the SQL DDL, sophisticated Java code and documentation (HTML, pdf, XMI) is generated automatically using a generator GUI, by Ant tasks or from within the Eclipse IDE. The generated Java code provides a lot of possibilities for runtime optimization (DO LRU caching, Query LRU caching, cache initialization, lazyloading,...).


Enhydra Director
Enhydra Director is a collection of open source web-server plugins to provide loadbalancing, clustering and unified connection methods for different web-servers on different platforms. It supports several popular Web servers and operating systems, including Apache (on Linux/Unix and Windows), Netscape Enterprise Server (on Linux/UNIX and Windows), and Microsoft Internet Information Server. Director also supports several applications servers: Tomcat (v5.xx and v5.5x), Jetty, JOnAS, JBoss and Enhydra Server.


Enhydra Octopus
Enhydra Octopus is a Java-based Extraction, Transformation, and Loading (ETL) tool. It may connect to any JDBC data sources and perform transformations defined in an XML file.


Enhydra Application Framework
Enhydra application framework EAF is a portable set of APIs making development of typical web applications a lot easier but still keeping portability to the application server of your choice by using plug-ins to adopt the EAF API's to the specific environment.


Enhydra Kelp
The Enhydra Kelp project is focused on creating tools that make it easy to get the most out of other Enhydra technologies such as XMLC, Octopus and DODS. Kelp includes command line tools, application wizards and Eclipse IDE plug-ins.


Enhydra Oyster
Enhydra Oyster is an Open Source Java library for SMIME signing and encryption of E-Mails using different key strengths and algorithms. It is developed with suport and testing for major E-Mail clients.

i-Phone:-Introduction

iPhone is a revolutionary new mobile phone that allows you to make a call by simply tapping a name or number in your address book, a favorites list, or a call log. It also automatically syncs all your contacts from a PC, Mac, or Internet service. And it lets you select and listen to voicemail messages in whatever order you want — just like email.

iPhone uses OS X, the world’s most advanced operating system. Which means you have access to the best-ever software on a handheld device, including rich HTML email, full-featured web browsing, and favorite applications including Address Book and Calendar. iPhone is also fully multi-tasking, so you can read a web page while downloading your email in the background. This software completely redefines what you can do with a mobile phone.

iPhone uses quad-band GSM, the global standard for wireless communications. It also supports AT&T’s EDGE network, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR, which links to Apple’s compact Bluetooth headset. When you move around, iPhone automatically switches between EDGE and Wi-Fi to provide the fastest data connection possible. To set up your own Wi-Fi network, check out the AirPort Extreme Base Station.

Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) :Introduction

Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) technology is the server-side component architecture for Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE). EJB technology enables rapid and simplified development of distributed, transactional, secure and portable applications based on Java technology.



The EJB specification intends to provide a standard way to implement the back-end 'business' code typically found in enterprise applications (as opposed to 'front-end' user-interface code). Such code was frequently found to reproduce the same types of problems, and it was found that solutions to these problems are often repeatedly re-implemented by programmers. Enterprise Java Beans were intended to handle such common concerns as persistence, transactional integrity, and security in a standard way, leaving programmers free to concentrate on the particular problem at hand.

EJB types
Stateful Session Beans are distributed objects having state: that is, they keep track of which calling program they are dealing with throughout a session. For example, checking out in a web store might be handled by a stateful session bean, which would use its state to keep track of where the customer is in the checkout process. On the other hand, sending an e-mail to customer support might be handled by a stateless bean, since this is a one-off operation and not part of a multi-step process. Stateful session beans' state may be persisted, but access to the bean instance is limited to only one client. Stateless Session Beans are distributed objects that do not have state associated with them thus allowing concurrent access to the bean. The contents of instance variables are not guaranteed to be preserved across method calls. The lack of overhead to maintain a conversation with the calling program makes them less resource-intensive than stateful beans.

Message Driven Beans were introduced in the EJB 2.0 specification. which is supported by Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition 1.3 or higher. The message bean represents the integration of JMS (Java Message Service) with EJB to create an entirely new type of bean designed to handle asynchronous JMS messages. Message Driven Beans are distributed objects that behave asynchronously. That is, they handle operations that do not require an immediate response. For example, a user of a website clicking on a "keep me informed of future updates" box may trigger a call to a Message Driven Bean to add the user to a list in the company's database. (This call is asynchronous because the user does not need to wait to be informed of its success or failure.) These beans subscribe to JMS (Java Message Service) message queues or message topics. They were added in the EJB 2.0 specification to allow event-driven processing inside EJB Container. Unlike other types of beans, MDB does not have a client view (Remote/Home interfaces), i.e. clients can not look-up an MDB instance. It just listens for any incoming message on a JMS queue (or topic) and processes them automatically.

Previous versions of EJB also used a type of bean known as an Entity Bean. These were distributed objects having persistent state. Beans in which their container managed the persistent state were said to be using Container-Managed Persistence (CMP), whereas beans that managed their own state were said to be using Bean-Managed Persistence (BMP). Entity Beans were replaced by the Java Persistence API in EJB 3.0, though as of 2007, CMP 2.x style Entity beans are still available for backward compatibility.

Other types of Enterprise Beans have been proposed. For instance, Enterprise Media Beans (JSR 86) address the integration of multimedia objects in Java EE applications.

The Year 2038 Bug

It's barely 8 years since we had the millenium bug so don't say you didn't get enough warning! A lot of systems in the world may have date rollover troubles in a fraction over 30 years time. The millenium bug (more accurately known as the Two Digit Century Rollover Bug) was caused by using 2 digits instead of 4 for the year. So Christmas 2007 falls on 12/25/07. Of course when 1999 rolled over to 2000 then the first day of the new century became 01/01/00 and this could have had serious consequences had all the old systems not been sorted out in advance. This problem will also happen again in 2099, 2199 etc if anyone is silly enough to keep using two digit year dates.

But the Unix bug will occur in 2038. That's because the date system started in 1970 and uses a time_t (signed int) to hold the number of seconds. The highest value is 2147483648-1 which is 24855.13 days. Add that to Jan 1 1970 and you get Jan 19 2038! So sometime early on that morning of that date, any software using a signed int for a date will rollover to Jan 1 1970! So how you are going to cope up with this problem dudes....!!!

Storage :1TB Hard Disk Drive

Recently Both Major companies Hitachi and Seagate have launched the disk drives of 1TB(1024 GB) which is major milestone in storage world.
In INDIAN markets currently Hitechi launched the drives of 1 tb.
“Growing volumes of songs, movies, personal videos, pictures and games stored on our PCs highlights a ready market for higher capacity HDDs in India,”.

“At 133 gigabits per square inch, the Hitachi 1TB hard drive crams much more data per square inch than any other HDD available in the market today. Quieter acoustics, lower heat dissipation levels and much faster read/write speeds, makes this family of Hitachi HDDs a must have for all PC users,” he added further.

The 3.5inch drive belongs to the 7200 RPM family of Hitachi 1TB SATA hard disk drives. These storage units can be used for business, commercial, gaming, media centre PCs and also in external storage devices. The new drive is equipped with reliable perpendicular magnetic recoding technology, robust 3GB SATA interface and enhanced Rotational Vibration Safeguard (RVS) technology.

Besides, the 1TB drive ensures the fast data transfer rates, low power consumption and advanced shock protection. Hitachi 1TB SATA hard disk comes along with a 5-year warranty.

System, designed to sustain performance in densely packed multi-drive systems.

Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 hard drive consumes 13W of power in comparison to Hitachi’s 1-TB hard drive which draws about 13.6W. In addition, the Seagate new 1TB hard drive has just 4 platters which results in cool operating temperatures and low-power consumption helping longer hard disk life with less chances for wear and tear.

Seagate claims that the Barracuda 7200.11 1TB hard drive unit is a newly designed product optimised for demanding business-critical and nearline enterprise storage environments including: networked and tiered storage solutions, reference/compliance storage, disc-to-disc backup and restore, archiving solutions, rich media content storage and collaboration.

Company also claims that the new Barracuda 7200.11 hard drive also boosts reliability with an unrecoverable error rate that is 10 times better than desktop class drives and a 1.2 million hour Mean Time Between Failure at full 24 x 7 data
