Quick question about sessions in PHP

Sessions are started via session_start(), I realize that much, but to make sessions persistent, they need an ID. Now, the php.ini file has a setting: session.use_cookies = 1 So I don't have to pass the ID around. But there's another setting: ; Lifetime in seconds of cookie or, if 0, until browser is restarted. session.cookie_lifetim...

alternative to memcached that can persist to disk

I am currently using memcached with my java app, and overall it's working great. The features of memcached that are most important to me are: it's fast, since reads and writes are in-memory and don't touch the disk it's just a key/value store (since that's all my app needs) it's distributed it uses memory efficiently by having each ob...

JPA and Spring transactions - please explain

Hi, today I have coded a test case for my application, to see how transactions behave. And I have found that nothing works the way I thought it does. I have a Spring-based application using Hibernate as JPA provider, backed by MySQL. I have DAO objects, extending Spring's JpaDaoSupport. These are covered by Spring's transaction managem...

Persisting items being uploaded via web service to disk

I have a launchd daemon that every so often uploads some data via a web service using NSOperationQueue. I need to be able to persist this data, both so that it can later be re-uploaded in the event of failure, even between sessions (in case of computer shut down, for example). This is not a high load application, it probably receives i...

Hibernate not saving collection of values

Okay, I've used Hibernate in several projects now but I did not learn its intricacies before using it. I started with looking at codes that used JPA Annotations and integrated with Spring and everything worked well. But now that I want to teach basic Hibernate to my students and I'm in the process of creating an example and using the doc...

Mapping calculated properties with JPA

Hi, Is there a way to map a calculated property using JPA? Assuming I have an Invoice object with one or more InvoiceLineItems within it, I want to have a persistent calculated property on the Invoice class that gives me the total amount: class Invoice { ... @Column(name = "TOTAL_AMOUNT") public BigDecimal getTotalAmount(...

Persist collection fields with hibernate

Using hibernate, how can I persist a class with a List<String> field? Consider the following entity class: @Entity public class Blog { private Long id; private List<String> list; @Id @GeneratedValue public Long getId() { return id; } public void setId(Long id) { this.id = id; } public List<String> getList(...

I'm trying to add a new entity and then after a successful commit, redirect them to the list action. Here's a summary of what I'm doing: @Name("offerAction") @Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION) public class OfferAction implements Serializable { @In private EntityManager entityManager; private List<OfferSite> offerSites; @Factory("off...

Workflow Foundation: where do I put my data?

I'm new to Workflow Foundation. I've worked my way through one book (K. Scott Allen's Programming Windows Workflow Foundation) which was okay but I'm left with several questions. The biggest one is 'where do I put the data'? Throughout the book he uses the idea of a Bug Tracking system; the scenario isn't too far from what I want to d...

What do people want in a persistent .NET Dictionary?

I'm implementing generic, persistent .NET collections based on top of the ESENT database engine (using the ManagedEsent interop layer). So far I have been focusing on classes that exactly mimic their System.Collections.Generic counterparts, except that they take a path in the constructor indicating where the database should go. Code like...

JPA Definition of a One-To-Many Relationship with Junction Table

I have a one-to-many relationship modeled using an extra table: create table t1 (id int primary key, name varchar(10) /*...*/); create table t2 (id int primary key, name varchar(10) /*...*/); create table t1_t2 (t1_id int, t2_id int, primary key (t1, t2)); The tables are supposed to model the relationship of one t1 to many t2. What is...

Why put a DAO layer over a persistence layer (like JDO or Hibernate)

Data Access Objects (DAOs) are a common design pattern, and recommended by Sun. But the earliest examples of Java DAOs interacted directly with relational databases -- they were, in essence, doing object-relational mapping (ORM). Nowadays, I see DAOs on top of mature ORM frameworks like JDO and Hibernate, and I wonder if that is really a...

Java Persistence / JPA: @Column vs @Basic

What is the difference between @Column and @Basic annotations in JPA? Can they be used together? Should they be used together? Or does one of them suffice? ...

How can I access Java heap objects without a reference?

I would like to get a reference to all objects in the Java heap, even if I don't immediately have a reference to those objects in my active thread. I don't need non-referenced objects (those "queued" for garbage collection), but would like to get anything that's still in use. The goal is to serialize and store all the objects to implem...
