I'm trying to convince my providers to use ANT instead of Rational Application Development so anyone can recompile, recheck, redeploy the solution anyplace, anytime, anyhow. :P I started a build.xml for a project that generates a JAR file but stopped there and I need real examples to compare notes. My good friends! I don't have anyone c...

In the spirit of this article, I was wondering if anyone else had favorite monitoring setups for web type applications. Or maybe if you don't believe in Log Monitoring, why? I'm looking for a mix of opinion slash experience here I guess. ...

Currently I am setting up an application that can deploy other web apps to Tomcat 6 clusters. It is set up right now to have a one to one relationship between deployed web application and a cluster. My current reasoning for this is so that I can change the JVM args of the Tomcat server without disrupting other applications and so that ...
The news about Google Chrome made me think...what applications either tried to and failed or did succeed in changing the way that type of application was designed, constructed, or used?

This is an adapted version of a question from someone in my office. She's trying to determine how to tell what ports MSDE is running on for an application we have in the field.

Because as developers we have been touting the idea of the Web as the next desktop OS, customers are coming to expect the software running on this "new OS" t...
Is anyone out there using D for real world applications? If so, what are you using it for? I can't seem to find anything big on the web written in D. Despite the lack of known big users, D seems like a very promissing language to me, and according to TIOBE, it's fairly popular. ...

The mainframe program often hangs and crashes the ActiveX control causing our application to crash. We don't have access to the mainframe or the ActiveX source code. We are not going to write our own activ...
I will be selling a Windows application into an industry where many of the users will know and be friendly with many of the other prospective users.

This question isn't about ethical behavior in the workplace, like leaking code or stealing. I'm wondering, have you ever been asked to add a feature to an app that you thought was harmful to users, deceitful, or otherwise unethical, even though it met a business objective?
