It is a wiki. Anyone can edit it...

Also:
Find help on http://tomcat.apache.org/
leads to
http://tomcat.apache.org/findhelp.html
which has a link to
http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/SupportAndTraining

which feels about right to me in terms of prominence. I'd rather see
folks come to the mailing list in the first instance.

Which doesn't seem like a million miles away from how the Tomcat pages
are organised.

As always, patches for improvements welcome (or if it is the wiki, just
edit it).

It should have read: Disclaimer: We perform many types of J2EE consulting.

Touché. One should not write emails while eating dinner. But I think the message
was clearly constructive. 

I did notice that the FAQ (http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ) does not mention
how to request consulting services or post jobs. But there is a page
(http://www.apache.org/info/support.cgi) dedicated to commercial support of
Apache products. 

I have always liked the way Bugzilla organizes their site, so any user looking
for the mailing list (http://www.bugzilla.org/support/) also found the link to
the consulting registry (http://www.bugzilla.org/support/consulting.html).

Good Morning from Europe!

It is a common disclaimer email message. Translated to English:

This message is confidential and may be privileged. If you are not the intended 
recipient, we kindly ask you to notify the sender. Any unauthorized 
distribution or copying of this is prohibited. This message is for 
informational purposes only and will have not any legal binding effect. Because

Anyway, by now it has disappeared from Mulesoft's page. Maybe someone 
mistakenly pressed the wrong key while updating their web site. And of course, 
is nothing related with Tomcat

Good Night America!

  There are two languages in the cited message, German and French. I'm 
positive about that.

I'm not great in either language and certainly don't know all of the 
words but I think the French message is just a translation of the German 
message which appears to be a standard confidentiality clause of the 
kind found in many emails. You know the kind: "This information is 
confidential and is only intended for whoever. If you receive it in 
error, do such-and-such".

I'm not clear about the context of this message but if you're thinking 
it's a Tomcat question, I'm pretty sure it's not.

I would hope so for them, because at least with Firefox, it does not get better when you

amazing that all of the language battles lead to a Pyrrhic victory

speaking of languages ..which languages does IBM currently "support"?

I recently heard the story about how PL/1 got its name. I heard this recently 
from my brother who worked with the son of the inventor of APL, Kenneth E. 
Iverson.

It was at IBM and APL was developed only the inventor wanted to call it The 
Programming Language - TPL. When it went to the committee he was you can't call 
it that there already is a TPL project. Outcome - neither language got the name 
TPL - instead we have APL and PL/1.

RE: [OT] RE: Tomcat Consultant

2010-09-30 Thread Jeffrey Janner
Cartensian joins were an impossibility.
I got my join modifiers mixed up.  Everything was like a "standard?" join, 
essentially the 2nd & 3rd parameters of the function became the (where 
this_table.field_name = lookup_table.field_name ) construct of an SQL where.
I meant the overhead was essentially the same as a relational DB doing a 
non-Cartesian join.
So for a field named inv_amount defined as trans(invoices,inv_id,amount,'x') in 
customer table, in SQL-speak becomes
  select c.cust_name, c.inv_id, i.amount
  from customer c, invoices i
  where c.inv_id+ = i.invoice_id;

In Pick-speak:  select cust_name, inv_id, inv_amount from customer

Add sorting, grouping, totaling, limits, etc. as necessary.  Notice, if the 
customer didn't have any invoices it still created a line of output, thus the 
left-join syntax in the SQL version.
Also, the database was designed with nested tables in mind, so the inv_id field 
could contain multiple values, essentially a list of all that customer's 
invoice ids.  
Also, it only contained single-column primary keys, and the trans function 
always did compares against the PK.  If you needed multi-column PKs, you could 
do it, but had to code for it yourself.  Of course, nobody really uses 
multi-column PKs right?

(Note, even for Pick, the above is a bad example, since an invoice ID list 
could get huge, thus slowing access to the regular data.  Data was stored as 
delimited strings of varying lengths.  You could, however, work around it 
physically, but still have it appear logically this way.)

i agree ..caching works well for previously referenced entities
natural joins work if the column names are identical that is 
table1.engineering==table2.engineering
but engineering==eng would not work for natural join and consequently fallback 
to cartesian join
which would of course slow the query to a crawl

Actually more like a JOIN.  The run-time loaded in and cached the necessary 
rows from the lookup tables and pulled the data fields needed.  Essentially 
though, it was more like a left-join.  To get the effect of a natural join, you 
had to add a where clause to exclude lines with null lookup return-values. I'm

RE: [OT] RE: Tomcat Consultant

2010-09-30 Thread Jeffrey Janner
For the end user, it was just another field in the data dictionary for the 
table.
The actual entry would be a line of code which was really a function call:
  TRANS(lookup_table_name,lookup_id,return_field,not_found_code)
That last entry was a code that told the run-time engine what to return if the 
lookup_id was not found.
The run-time engine had some tricks to make this efficient. 
The data dictionary basically defined two type of entries: D for data, which 
had a field# (column) to return, and I for Interpreted, so you could add 
calculations directly to the dictionary. The translate/lookup was one, but you 
could put anything expression there, even call complicated self-written 
functions, or if statements, etc.  It used the same language that you wrote 
programs in.  A standard example would be an extended cost.  The entry would 
just be QTY * COST.
The idea was that the DBA defined everything you might want to use.  If you 
needed a new calculation, it could be added to the dictionary rather quickly 
and available immediately.
At later releases, primarily to support SQL queries, they added the ability to 
add Trans functions and code in-line with the query, so you could by-pass the 
DBA if necessary, but it was suggested to do this primarily as a dev/debug 
step.  It was faster if it was compiled into the dictionary.
You further defined in the dictionary things such as precision, display length, 
etc.  Therefore, you could have more that one dictionary entries pointing to 
the same field or calculation, but returning slightly different results.

Now true PICK, defined the dictionary types as A for attribute (field/column), 
and S for Stack. The S-type was the calculated field, and all work was done 
using a calculation stack.  It was also how you did table lookups.  These could 
get really complicated.  I put a number up there with the one-line obfuscated C 
programs some folks are so proud of.

Yes, but that's a layer /on top of/ the actual database. The databases
Jeffrey is talking about allowed natural language /queries/, they didn't
query natural languages.

i would be interested in what  administration overhead with this

if your goal is a lexicographical approach you could pull the data dictionary 
build routines from a search engine such as lucene

I believe the technical term most folks use is "natural language query".

The tables where dictionary-based, and you didn't really have joins.  If
there was a need to reference data from another table, using foreign
keys, you added a translate entry to the database for the necessary
fields.
Then instead of needing to use and understand SQL, you simple said
something like:
  Select customer_name, address, invoice_id, total invoice_amt from
customer-table by customer_name;
and you got a nice table listing each customer and its invoices with a
total invoice amount per customer and a grand total at the end.

Well, when you do, make sure you query "Pick OS", since that's the real
name.
I'll save you a little trouble.  Here's the Wikipedia entry:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pick_operating_system.
Nowadays, it's generally referred to as a multi-valued database, and
several companies have implemented the DB portion of it onto various OS
- quite a few for Unix/Linux.  Even IBM had a version (U2) that they
recently sold off to a company that was actually willing to give it some
attention.

In the "gray-haired" contest, I once had access to a Victor PC --
essentially a IBM clone with its own OS.  Most notable that I remember -
besides the domino game that cheated - was their spreadsheet program,
VictorCalc.  It was a 3-dimensional spreadsheet: rows, columns, and
pages, essentially creating a sort of cube.  You could pick the edge you
viewed the data by.  For example, normal was page view where you saw row
x column, but you could rotate the data and see row x page, or column x
page.  Great for financials, each page was a year, columns were
months/quarters, rows were account (or whatever). A new year comes
along, create a new page.  You could rotate to column view, and
instantly see how each month compared across the years.  Or rotate to
row view and see how a particular account fluctuated over each
month/year cycle.  It was kinda neat.

An ISAM storage system doesn't really qualify as a database system.
Does it?
I mean, you had to hard-code all the access yourself. (I also did a
little work in MIDAS.  IIRC, we used it for our account billing system.)
Information also used the same underlying segdir file structure for
storing data, but it also had a real run-time engine for managing the
data for you, and for processing near-english data queries.

That's it. I couldn't recall because I didn't use it. We used the MIDAS 
database which transitioned pretty well from home grown assembler based / hash 
indexed keys.

We went with Oracle 5/6 when my boss spun out as an independent and we migrated 
to Sun in 1991. Oracle had an interesting Hypercard Stack interface for Macs 
around then. Only trouble for me is it wouldn't save your sql ddl, it was the

I think you are completely lost, none of the big 5 could bill below 200$/hr
and survive paying the big building and the big bosses, 100$/hr is what the
sub-contractors are billing them. I did work for one of these in the 90's
and they already billed between 200-300$/hr at that time, this is 20 years
ago.

And what are the lawyer's rates like in the commercial area? Don't you
believe having a working business infrastructure worth something or not? I
mean, lawyers are there to have the business legal terms working and the IT
consultant having the business infrastructure working. Does it compare or
not?

That's the system I worked on. At one point, I worked in a university environ 
and had access to source.  We did a few tweaks to allow better support for 
hundreds of students, or the occasional custom tool/command. It was really nice 
to work in something like PL/P for that stuff.

I'm not sure what you meant by PIC OS, unless you meant the Pick Database 
model, which was originally implemented as a combined OS/DB setup.  Prime did 
offer a version of the DB model, called INFORMATION, which ran on the standard 
OS.  It was a really nice rapid deployment engine.  They also had a version of 
Oracle available for it, though I never used it.  I had used some other 
3rd-party relational DB products, and INFORMATION ran rings around them.  The 
Pick data model was designed with standard business data in mind, so it had 
some useful features that ran fairly fast.  I work in Oracle now, and am quite 
impressed with its speed, but having to do all those table joins can sometimes 
be a real pain.

Thanks for posting. I hadn't ever heard of Tcat, though I tend to run a
vanilla Tomcat without even the "standard" webapps loaded, and we don't
do any instrumentation outside of our webapp, so I've never had occasion
to look into things such as Tcat.

I didn't realize that Tcat was a re-packaging of Tomcat... it sounded as
if your company was claiming that running Tomcat in an enterprise
environment required your product (in marketing-speak, of course).
Hence, the aspersions cast your direction.

That's a great description, Jason. Again, thanks for helping clear the air.

Hi Chris.

I'm surprised you hadn't heard of it yet.  Disclaimer: I work for MuleSoft.
Just so you know (in case our web pages don't clearly state this), Tcat is
about trying to make it easier to use open source Tomcat in production
enterprise environments.  It's not, in any way, trying to replace open
source Tomcat, nor is it a Java EE app server.  By making it easier to
monitor and manage the open source Tomcat instances people already run in
production via our Tcat Server console, we're helping Tomcat to be easier to
use, more stable, and to perform better in production due to increased
stability and visibility.  In case you want to try it, it's free (as in
beer) to download.  You get the full version.  If you like it enough to
deploy and use it in your production environment, that's when it begins to
cost, but it's free for use in your development environment, test
environment, and staging.  It hooks up to any Tomcat 5.5.x, 6.0.x, and 7.0.x
beta.  We'd like to know what you think of it once you've tried it.

MuleSoft also offers training and consulting on Tomcat, though we're mainly
focused on Tcat and the Mule open source ESB.

Cheers.

PL/1 was a nice break from extending FORTRAN IV with BAL (Assembler).

Wow real pointers and character strings!

I seem to recall there was a version on the Prime minicomputers - IRC they had 
a version of the PIC OS.

Primos came out of the Boston area, was a son of Multics and a brother OS to 
Unix. Wiki proves my memory fairly accurate -

2010-09-28 Thread michel

Jeffrey,

PL/I had a lot of stuff in that most people never even knew about, and those 
could take a while before getting in to it. But the basics could be mastered 
fast enough.


I have heard two reasons for PL/I not taking a better market share.


1. was an IBM product, and IBM was trying to hard to control it.
2. the compiler was really bad and generated some very ineffective machine 
code at a time when hardware cost .



But no question that PL/I was a fantastic language for developers!

I am no expert, I have never used a J2EE container, so verify my words below:

A web container (Tomcat) allows you to run servlets...(or JSPs that
get compiled into servlets)
A J2EE container or Application Server (Glassfish) can also manage
EJBs, it will support message queues (JMS), it will allow you to
manage database and JNDI resources, it can handle a transaction
manager.
You can probably use JMS, set up JNDI resources and use a transaction
manager within your webapp in Tomcat but you have to add the features
yourself; an application server should be able to help set up all that
and help you manage it, in theory speeding up your development.

An application server is also a web container, but it offers you many
other features.

Jorge,

Could you explain further what's the difference between an app

I have not touched PL/I in over 20 years, but from a developer's point of 
view I don't see any of the current languages being any better. We are still 
reinventing the wheel with promises that the next version will be more 
round, and it never is ...


While PL/I is a procedural language, not object oriented, I don't even see a 
world of difference between the two. Code is code, and you just need to have 
functions and procedures  to logically encapsulate the code.


I don't have a problem with being thrown in the water, but not when some 
sales person doesn't explain it to the client.


While I still code (in Java) I have pretty well given up doing it for 
others; I have gotten burned out because the non-stop cycle of 
new-and-better-technology coupled with having some learning disabilities has 
made it way to easy for screwed up projects and other people's inept work 
habits to automatically become my fault.

darned language that never managed  to get a good market share. It was said 
that it took four years to really learn how to use it. These days all you 
need is a crash course to be an expert!

I once worked for a consulting company that wasn't  a big 5, but had some
pretty good contact. They hired me out of Montreal on Friday, had me in
Denver  on Sunday and spending 2 weeks in a training center so I could
become an instant 'expert' they could hire out for big $$$ on different
projects.

Then I spent 3 months at home while they tried to get some contacts, and
then got canned when they couldn't, then the guys who hired me got canned
...

I can't figure out how these companies can get away with this nonsense.

Re: Tomcat Consultant

2010-09-24 Thread Jorge Medina
Hey, you don't need a Big-5 consulting company.
You need a a couple of experts: a networking guy and a Tomcat guy.
But anyway, I'm sure a Fortune 500 have the money to overpay one of the Big-5.

Now, from my understanding, Tomcat is only a web app container while
Websphere is an application server.
Therefore, depending on your application you may not be able to
migrate it to Tomcat, but rather to Glassfish. Glassfish is also an
application server.

Honestly, if you have some in-house Java developers, they ought to be
able to get a clustered setup working and demonstrable in a few hours.

Perhaps I'm showing my US-biased thought processes: in the US there are
5 companies that do "consulting" without any possibility of further
refining the word. They will "consult" with you to define and implement
your ERP strategy, design and code your Facebook-killing social network,
debug your home air conditioning unit, and help raise your children
while you're at work.

I've never heard of Tcat, supposedly "the Apache Tomcat app server for
the enterprise". Beware.

Re: Tomcat Consultant

2010-09-24 Thread Wesley Acheson
At least two of the regular supporters of this mailing list work in
spring source and one is one of the main committers to the tomcat
project. To me that speaks wonders for the company. I've been trying
to get my company to get them in for consultation too.

To no avail.

HAHA.  Opps I meant clustered.  When you say top 5 which companies are you
referring to?

SpringSource claims to be able to do this kind of thing. They were the
first google result for "tomcat consultant." Did you not search for
that or did you disregard it?

Wait... are you testing it? If so, then you don't need anyone to set it
up, do you? By crusted, did you mean "trusted"?

I'm sure that any of the big-5 consulting companies would be very happy
to take way more money than is necessary to set up an instance of Tomcat
for you.
