What's the Difference Between dataSetRow["FIELD"] and row["FIELD"]
[source: JAVA DEVELOPER'S JOURNAL ]
One of the most common questions for people that are new to BIRT is about how to ask data from the DataSet in the report. The question is when building expressions should I use dataSetRow["FIELD"] or row["FIELD"]?
So let me see if I can set the record straight. When data is acquired, it is acquired by a DataSet, so the following query in a JDBC DataSet will create a three field resultset.read more

WS-I to Disappear into OASIS
[source: JAVA DEVELOPER'S JOURNAL ]
The eight-year-old Web Services Interoperability Organization (WS-I) is going to fold its assets, operations and mission into a special Member Section of OASIS, the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards. The move is expected to take a few months. In the name of best practices WS-I developed a set of Web Services Profiles, Sample Applications and Testing Tools. OASIS is supposed to assume ownership and maintenance responsibility for these Profiles and continue to make them available. It?s also supposed to be responsible for any maintenance that the published Profiles and other materials may require. OASIS Technical Committees will be formed to maintain the three profiles and do the testing activity.read more

Unisys to Offer Price Fixe Cloud
[source: JAVA DEVELOPER'S JOURNAL ]
In what is believed to be a cloud first, Unisys is going to offer its upscale enterprise-class ClearPath users a fixed-priced PaaS cloud, a model that flies in the face of the nickel and dime?ing that goes on in commodity cloud land.
Unisys already has x86-based commodity clouds on offer but now it?s drawn its proprietary mainframe-style ClearPath widgetry, based on its MCP and OS/2000 operating systems, into the new meme beginning with a managed development and testing solution that will go for $13,000 for three months use of a soup-to-nuts environment that includes 25MIPS, eight megs of memory and 75GB of storage. read more

Stuck Between a Rock and a Cloudy Place
[source: JAVA DEVELOPER'S JOURNAL ]
Data center administrators are faced with the challenge of what to do with in-house versus cloud services. Following two years of lean spending on IT infrastructure, the hype over cloud services has caught the attention of everyone ? from the C-suite to the functional leadership in organizations as diverse as finance, marketing, logistics and operations. Providers like Salesforce.com are tailoring their message not to the IT department but to the CEO and CFO, promising cost savings, improved reliability and greater business agility. IT leaders are presented with concepts of ?indoor? or ?private? clouds.
Over those same two years, existing data center equipment is ripe for replacement. Innovations in areas like virtualization, power optimization, and multi-core processors coupled with increasing maintenance expenses are providing an incentive for many enterprise organizations to increase IT budgets again. For other firms, aging infrastructure and increasing reliance on IT services is forcing a decision.read more

Enterprise Applications are Good Candidates for Using JavaFX
[source: JAVA DEVELOPER'S JOURNAL ]
I don?t know any other technology that has ever gotten as much of a beating as JavaFX did last week (here, here, and here). JavaFX has become a technology that developers love to hate. It?s like a pinata for developers. JavaFX was first announced at JavaOne 2007 (that?s 3 years ago). Many predicted its death even before version 1.0 was released in December 2008, and many continue to call for its demise. Last week also turned out to be the week where I presented Enterprise JavaFX at the Silicon Valley JavaFX JUG, and also the week that Steven Chin created a petition to open source JavaFX. Don?t get me wrong, JavaFX is very far from perfect. It has it?s problems and challenges (listed below) and its future is hanging on life support right now, but let?s start with the good. read more

Next-Generation Content Delivery: Cloud Acceleration
[source: JAVA DEVELOPER'S JOURNAL ]
It would be an understatement to say that this past decade belongs to the Internet. Starting primarily as a research tool, the Internet has now infiltrated every aspect of life ? there is very little today that users do not, or cannot, do online. Moreover, new ways to leverage the Internet to personal and professional advantage arise every day.
Evidently, all this progress has had an insidious side-effect ? user expectations regarding website performance have sky-rocketed over the years. People expect websites, video and audio to load faster than ever before; otherwise, they lose interest and go to other websites. In fact, research firms have ample findings to support this correlation. A 2009 ResearchLink survey found that 26 percent of respondents would move to a competitor?s website if a vendor?s website failed to perform, resulting in immediate revenue loss of 26 percent and a future loss of 15 percent. Forrester Research also found that 36 percent of unique visitors to a website will leave it if it fails to load within the first three seconds. Three seconds ? that?s not a lot of time. Yet, user expectations are warranted, seeing how much progress content delivery technology has made in the past few years. Couple these user demands with an architecture that is not fit to deliver the kind of performance they expect, and what we have on our hands is a big problem for companies whose business thrives on web content and e-commerce.read more
