Profiling Creator's Application server

By | January 31, 2006

There were some questions about the memory consumption of the application server on the Creator Forum. That’s especially interesting when you try to develop applications which might be used by numerous clients at a time. So I decided to take all the pieces together and try it. You need: The latest release of Netbeans 5… Read More »

Where am I from?

By | January 30, 2006

          Where did I come from? I played a bit with Google Maps. And I found a nice picture of the area where I grew up.  The map to the left shows the city where I was born and the village where I spend most of my earlier fun time;-) It also shows… Read More »

Creator Applications and setup directory:-(

By | January 30, 2006

Just a word of caution: Don’t create a directory called “setup”  in the project  root.   That is a reserved directory name for NetBeans. Creator itself inherited that NB hehavior partially. So if you do create such a directory, you might end up with very strange errors when you try to build or deploy your project.… Read More »

I found Dru Devore's Blog

By | January 27, 2006

Maybe it’s widely known. But I did just find it. Check it out at http://weblogs.java.net/blog/ddevore/.  There are good Creator related posts on it. Thanks Dru;-) — Marco

Creator 2 Applications and Oracle OC4J – The conclusion

By | January 27, 2006

I finally found the problem. I believe the Oracle HTTP Server/OC4J combination sends a bad HTTP Content-Location Header: marco@linux:~> wget -S http://sles.sonic.net:7777/oratest –22:41:57– http://sles.sonic.net:7777/oratest => `oratest’ Resolving sles.sonic.net… 192.168.1.107 Connecting to sles.sonic.net|192.168.1.107|:7777… connected.

Creator 2 Applications and Oracle OC4J – A Bit Closer

By | January 27, 2006

An update to my last posting – I found one problem;-) Apparently OC4J does employ some kind of *.TLD caching by default and that does not work with our applications which bring their taglibs with them. The error message did not help much in this case:-( The solution: Switch of the jsp-cache-tlds either globally or… Read More »

Creator 2 and Oracles OC4J:-(

By | January 25, 2006

I wanted to try some simple Creator generated applications with Oracles Application Server (OC4J) 10g. But so far, it’s a No-Go:-( I exported the application as a J2EE 1.3 compliant war file and I could deploy it. So far, everything seemed to be happy.  But when I tried to view the start page, I end… Read More »

We finally made it;-)

By | January 25, 2006

It took a long time but Sun Java Studio Creator 2 was released today;-) I hope you can enjoy it;-) See all the new and exciting features at Creators official web site and get it for free. (I have no idea why they choose me in the picture there) I will now probably be busy answering… Read More »

Creator (Java SE) and Asian Fonts

By | December 9, 2005

Maybe the following is common knowledge in the areas where that problem would be more serious. Sorry, I can’t read or understand any of the Asian languages, so I wasn’t able to find much on the subject. I was trying to look at a localization problem in Creator on my SuSE Linux box. So I… Read More »

Creator on Ubuntu

By | November 29, 2005

Ok, that’s only a quick link to David’s writeup on how he got the application server for Creator to install on Ubuntu.  That’s the only part of a Creator install, which might have special requirements. Something very similar will probably be relevant to all Debian based Linux distributions. I hope this helps some people. Have… Read More »
