My never ending story with Tomcat and logging. The previous posts are here and here. This version has two updates. Tomcat was still sending the System.out and System.err streams to the shell and eventually to catalina.out in the normal configuration. The jar file now contains a life cycle listener which can be used to redirect… Read More »
OK, today I would like to share a little patch I was toying around with in the JRuby world. First a little background. We run some Ruby on Rails application via JRuby in JavaEE web containers, either in Tomcat or in GlassFish. That’s all nice and good when everything is working. But we have some… Read More »
Ok, more things I don’t like about Apache Tomcat😉 We have a web application which wants to be installed into the root context. But that means that the normal /manager webapp would either show up in it’s `directory-space’ or we would not be able to use it at all 🙁 We have an Apache web… Read More »

Sun decided to to the first round for this years JavaOne online-only. If you have read some postings here,… Read More »
We finally released the Visual Web Pack for NetBeans 5.5;-) So I might actually write a couple of more entries here again. Some people see problems when they try to take a project from the VWP TP and open/build it with the final version of VWP. Something like: I installed the new version of VWP… Read More »
Long time nothing on this blog. Sorry about that. But here I come again;-) I started playing with NB 6 on top of the Java SE 6 RC builds. And as always I’m not using the default configuration. So I ran into an interesting problem. The NB IDE was not able to open an external… Read More »
