This is a follow up blog to TOTD #120 and TOTD #123. These two blogs together have created a simple Java EE 6 application and showed the following features so far:

• Music Journalism is the New Piracy
  Yet another illustration why the proposed three-strikes laws are unbalanced and unjust. The onus continues to be on the accused to prove innocence, usually at great cost and after summary judgment.

• Three-Strikes Can't Work In A World Of Compromised PCs
  Read this important discussion from the "IP" list, which explores the reasons why the insecure world Microsoft has built for us makes enforcement of laws related to credentialed (or identified) PC behaviour, such as music & movie downloads, spamming and c

• Google Music Blog Mess Highlights Why Three Strikes Will Not Work
  The problem here is that using law against individuals with rules - and penalties - that are designed to address behaviours of companies is sure to lead to injustice.

• Google Buzz – anatomy of a slow motion train wreck
  Very interesting discussion suggesting how Buzz happened and sounding very plausible.

If you're online right now (Saturday) check out the
Mavericks giant wave surfing contest. Mavericks is a wild surfing spot on the coast side of the San Francisco peninsula. I go walking there with my family pretty regularly. I'm not nuts enough to surf. The ustream folks really have the technology nailed.

• The Smarter You Are, The Less You Click
  On advertisements online, that is.

• New flaws in chip and pin system revealed
  Watch the video and see this entirely straightforward attack being carried out.

One of the key targets in the development of RIAs (Rich Internet Applications) is good performance. You can't provide a good user experience if your feature-rich application has poor performance. The question is how to measure the performance of a JavaFX application? How to find issues before the users of your application encounter them?

• Copyrights and wrongs
  While Matthew's discussion is good (and the links are very useful), he misses the key point: that communities where one member has significantly more rights than all the rest tend to fail.

Taking TOTD #120 forward, we'll add the following features to our application:

• Add database access using Java Persistence API 2.0
• Show type-safe Criteria API from JPA 2.0
• Use Context & Dependency Injection for JSF managed beans
• Add Ajax effects from Java Server Faces 2.0
• Add Bean Validation to the JSF managed bean

Lets get started!

Taking TOTD #121 forward, this blog explains how to create a JPA Persistence Unit for a MySQL sample database and package it as a library. This JAR file can then be easily included in other web applications.

Lets get started!

• Study links soda, pancreatic cancer
  Looks like another damning finding against high sugar diets.

This blog clearly explains how to configure the MySQL sample database (sakila) with GlassFish. Even though the instructions use a specific database but should work for other databases (such as Oracle, JavaDB, PostgreSQL, and others) as well. The second half of the blog provide specific syntax for the Oracle sample database.

Catching up on
Hudson
news in the last couple of weeks:

The most important change is that on Jan 27th, during the
Strategy Presentations
around the completion of Change in Control of the acquisition of Sun,
Thomas Kurian indicated that Oracle was going to continue supporting Hudson as an Open Source
project, to be integrated into Oracle's offerings
(other CiC news in the
Summary Post).

• SourceForge turns off "blanket blocking"
  Good to see SourceForge being responsive here and deciding to take this risk.

• Tinkerer’s Sunset
  Mark Pilgrim with a eulogy for the freedom to tinker.

Here is trivial Java EE 6 application that is keeping you away from any deployment descriptors. It uses Java Server Faces 2.0, Enterprise Java Beans 3.1, and Servlet 3.0. This application shows the following Java EE 6 features:

• Lively Kernel
  Spun out to its own site, this project (a virtual machine kernel written in Javascript) is absolutely fascinating and deserves wider investigation.
