Update to embedded Axis application in Tomcat

I got a great email from Tamás in response to my last post who pointed out that the straight copy of deploy.wsdd to server-config.wsdd doesn’t cut it. More importantly, he mentioned that there is a utility that ships with Axis that allows you to generate server-config.wsdd from your deploy.wsdd (or from multiple deploy.wsdd if you [...]


Embeddding an Apache Axis application in Tomcat

One of the applications I’ve been heading up at my 8-to-5 needed a SOAP API that fronted a Java application deployed on Tomcat. If you’ve spent any time with Axis you know that it’s not the simplest thing to deal with; in fact it’s downright complex if you want do anything more than the [...]


XML characters, smart quotes and Apache XML-RPC

I’ve been eating my own dogfood with the deliciousposter project (as you can see from my daily links). A couple days ago I posted a some links to del.icio.us and expected them to show up automatically the next day… except they didn’t. I traced it down to an errant smart quote that I copied [...]


eBay Java / C# SOAP Examples

At the start of this year I worked with some guys at eBay to further develop their code samples. Some, but not all of the twelve examples I wrote went live in the recently launched Community Codebase. You can download all the Java examples (of which I wrote three) or browse the Subversion repository. [...]


del.icio.us poster

Last month I wrote about a quick utility which uses the delicious-java and Apache XML-RPC libraries to grab posts from my del.icio.us account and post them to my Metaweblog enabled (in my case Movable Type) blog. I’m not sure that it’s useful unless you have your own server or always on desktop PC, but [...]


AWStats Installation Notes

I tried installing AWStats a couple months ago on my server, got frustrated after an hour or two of reading the documentation and trying to figure out permissions problems, gave up and then tried again about two weeks ago, this time with more patience. Maybe after reading my notes (on RedHat Linux) someone else [...]


Paper Review: Two Case Studies of Open Source Software

The term paper for the class I’m taking (Paradigmatic Software Development) required that we write a review of a article that has appeared in a software engineering journal. I spent about 45 minutes trying to poke around the journal locator that UMass Dartmouth outsourced (to a company called serialssolutions.com) before giving up (they don’t [...]


Source Control with Subversion on Windows

We’re getting around to hiring an additional me at work so I needed to get a source control solution in place before he/she arrives and starts hacking away at the codebases. At the last place I worked we used Visual SourceSafe for a long time (which was pretty worthless) and then started using CVS, [...]


Conflicting mindsets of C# vs. Java: Part II

You all read the the ‘Conflicting mindsets of C# vs. Java‘ weblog post right? And you all noticed that the guys running the Lucene.NET project on sourceforge closed up shop, took all their toys and went on home right? I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that they’re related.
The way I [...]
