Back in 2000 (when .NET was unleashed upon us IIRC) it was an innovative cutting edge language (last time I used it was 2003). From what I read though, Sun has only evolved the language exceedingly slowly. I've even read that where the language has evolved, such as the addition of Generics, developers have complained about poor implemen...
Sun's Java SE 7 is set to release next year, and we still have yet to see a stable, complete implementation of Java SE 6 from Apple. Why doesn't Sun release their own implementation of Java for OS X? ...
I'm surprised at how little information I can find comparing IBM's jvm to Sun's. How do they compare? I have always used Sun's version - what are the reasons (if any) to consider switching to IBM's? EDIT: To phrase the question a little differently: For those of you who use IBM's jvm, what are your reasons? ...
I've just upgraded some old Java source which has been running on a Sun Java 1.4.2 VM to Sun Java (JRE) 6 VM. More or less the only thing I had to change was to add explicit datatypes for some abstract objects (Hashmap's, Vector's and so on). The code itself it quite memory intensive, using up to 1G of heap memory (using -Xmx1024m as a p...
There have been many JVM languages in the recent few years including Javascript, Python, Ruby etc. (full list here: List of JVM Languages). My question is this: why has Sun not come out with a full suite of languages for the JVM just like Microsoft's .NET? With the new version of the JVM, they can make any necessary adjustments for dynam...
Hi, I am using xdrawstring on solaris 10 as well as sunos 2.6. I am drawing everything to pixmap and then outputting the final pixmap. The method works on older version but on newer version it doesn't seem to work showing nothing as text. Best regards, RUI ...
I was wondering..There is Sun's JRE, IBM's JRE, BEA's JRE, Oracle's JRE and some more less know JREs in the market. Why is there so many JRE implementations? Does the fact that Sun opened the Java platforms mean that there will be one open JRE / JDK? Or are we going towards what happened with Linux and its many distributions ? ...
If you have taken the Sun Certified Web Component Developer certification, or otherwise know a lot about it, how would you rate its usefulness? How does it compare with SCJP or SCJD, for example? (Note: SCJP specific discussion can be found e.g. here and here.) As someone considering taking the SCWCD, I'd hope it would improve my unders...
I want to set up a connection pool and JDBC connection on EAR deployment so I do not have to set it up on each App Server I deploy to manually. What do I need to do? Is there an .xml file I can put this information into? ...
The team where I work still uses SUN Teamware for Source Code Management (SCM). I've worked with it for a while now (over 10 months) and I don't have any particular complaints about it. Teamware has been used to manage Sun’s largest source trees, including those for the Solaris operating system and the Java system, and it works pretty w...
Anyway know how to do that? ...
And generate about traffic statistics etc? ...
I'm having trouble connecting CS3 Dreamweaver to the mySQL db running inside Sun Virtual Box ...
I feel that while I love J2ME and Java it's hypocritical of them to have two APIs for Java. Java was designed with "One code, many platforms" in mind, and now it's more like "One API for every OS, and one API for everything smaller than a netbook." I see a lot of J2ME emulators and such being ported to things like the PSP, and other cons...
Hi i recently encounter alot of thread lockup in my application deloyed in sun app server. I like to ask is there any kind of timeout settings or way to i unlock the thread? I understand this is a workaround but because the lockup seens to happen when calling certain native java method. So i need a workaround for now ...
(Java 3 refers to theoretical post-Java-7 releases, remember: "Java SE was known as Java 2 Platform Standard Edition or J2SE from version 1.2 until version 1.5." That's why the name "Java 3" was chosen to refer to some future Java versions.) "Evolve and keep compatibility to old, deprecated APIs or redesign from scratch and loose all c...
I have a web application which will do redirection from http to https and vice versa in the sun application server 8.2. After a certain number of page redirection from http to https. I notice that the page doesn't seen to respond anymore. I did a thread dump and the following is what i got. Anyone have any idea what could be wrong? "ht...
