I'm writing a Resource Adaptor which does not support two phase commit. I know there is an optimization technique called: "Last Resource Optimization".

On our Dev box, our application module contains references to the file:/apps/WebSphere61/systemApps/isclite.ear/ jar files and classpath entries. On our Prod box, however, it only contains the jar file containing all of our required classes. On Dev, this is causing a problem when using apache-commons-fileuploader as these classes are a...
Oracle purchased BEA and their WebLogic suite of tools. They still have a competing product in their own 10gAS Application Server. Both are J2EE, enterprise grade, servers.

I have a little pet web app project I'd like to show someone who doesn't have an application server themselves (and who has no clue about application servers). What is the easiest and quickest way for them to get my WAR file running with zero configuration, preferably something I could send along with or bundle with the WAR file? Is the...
We use Tomcat to host our WAR based applications. We are servlet container compliant J2EE applications with the exception of org.apache.catalina.authenticator.SingleSignOn. We are being asked to move to a commercial J2EE application server. The first downside to changing that I see is the cost. No matter what the charges for the app...

I have a Java program/thread that I want to deploy into an App Server (glassfish). The thread should run as a "service" that starts when the App server starts and stops when the App Server closes. How would I go about doing this? Its not really a Session Bean or MDB.. Its just a thread. ...
At my work, we use Weblogic Server to host an enterprise portal. Which is fine. However, I've recently had the opportunity to use Tomcat for some side projects, and I am struck by the incredible difference in speed. Tomcat takes 3-5 seconds to start up, and 10-15 seconds to deploy a medium-sized projects. Wewblogic takes 3-5 minutes to ...
I am using a fresh Glassfish install with very little customizations. I have a Message Driven Bean (ObjectUpdateMDB) that listens to a topic, then updates the object it receives in a database. There are a lot of objects being updated. After a while of running I get this exception: SEVERE: JTS5031: Exception [org.omg.CORBA.INTERNAL: ...

Is there something I can call from a POJO to see if the code is currently in an App Server or outside of an App Server? Something like this (In rough PseudoCode): System.getRunningEnvironment().equals(Environment.Glassfish) or System.getRunningEnvironment().equals(Environment.ApplicationServer) or System.getRunningEnvironment().e...
Typically we use WebLogic or JBoss to deploy our apps. I understand that when using open source solutions like Spring you can develop your app and run it on a simple servlet container like Jetty. So the question would be why even bother with an app server? ...

I need to change the default locale that java uses on a Windows 2008 Server machine. Java is installed as part of an Oracle + Application server setup. I can do this in code, but I need to permanently change this setting. Edit: I should note that we're talking about jsp pages served via Application server so I can't exactly pass comman...
