Your loss IMHO. The fact is that all software has bugs (c.f. the reports of a bug in the Patriot missile software this morning).  [Please let's exclude provable languages from this conversation as they don't seem to be used in the real world.] You could be like NASA, of course, and take so lo

[JBoss-user] Possible 2.4.6 entity remove problem (classloader issue?)

2002-05-28 Thread David Hamilton
Hi all, We have a problem with JBoss 2.4.6 with Tomcat 4.0.3. In our Cactus unit-test suites, tests of the EJB Remove method have started failing. Further investigation indicate that this is the same regardless of whether the remove is called on the Home or the Remote interface. We are run

It is great to see how scared MS are of open-source software. And the reason? Simple... MS cannot control the means of distribution with open-source in the way it has done in the past. Traditionally they have used pressure on OEMs to control what software gets delivered to us, and they now

Hi all, I've got a mysterious version of JBoss/Tomcat on one of my servers. The person who installed it didn't leave the version number in the directory name. So how do I determine the version? A search of my local 2.4.4 installation show no sign of any version stamp in any file. Change Req

Is the org.jboss.util.FileURLPatch stuff not in the 3.0.0 branch? Or did the noted side-effect cause other issues (and why was "+" chosen for the replacement string rather than "%20" recommended in the fix request?) /david At 17:12 08/05/2002, Scott M Stark wrote: >This is a bug in the File.t

Re: [JBoss-user] Advice on Exception Granularity

2002-01-16 Thread David Hamilton
Two rules I try to bear in mind when deciding: Application exceptions should be regarded as potentially recoverable exceptions - the called code is saying 'I have a problem, can you deal with it?'. The calling code has to make a decision whether it is recoverable or not. System exceptions are i

Odd. I understood that containers should handle the System Exceptions (Runtime Exceptions) by immediately discarding the bean and then throwing 'NoSuchObjectException' if the client makes subsequent invocations on the stateful session bean (source Monson-Haefel, 3rd Edition) You talk of the bean

Hi John, Everything I've read about the issues with JBoss on Linux (particularly with memory leaks, segfaults, threading limitation issues) indicate that they are Sun VM specific. A number of people are using the IBM VM, and I've yet to hear of a bad experience. Hope this helps. david

The key reason not to use the Sun VM seems to be the 'Out-of-memory' issue (thread stack memory allocation) which can limit the number of threads that your system can use. If that is not a problem, then the Sun VM seems to have better docs on the known issues. Cheers david - Original Me

I don't know if this is affecting anyone else, but I am unable to search the JBoss User Archives using Geocrawler.  It only affects the JBoss group, none of the others that I use.   The response from SourceForge is that they don't see it as an urgent issue, and they have closed the request.
