First Steps in EJB3

Image
By
I’ve just taken my first steps in EJB3 and started writing some small sample applications so that I can get up to speed on it.

I’ve been doing J2EE for some time now so I thought I’d have a look at the new EJB 3 stuff and see how it differs. I’m a fan of JBoss, which provides a version of EJB3 on JBoss 4.0.3RC1. The EJB3 support can also be ported to run on JBoss 4.0.2.

Installing JBoss with EJB3 support is a doddle. I used the webstart installer on the JBoss website and installation proceeded smoothly without any problems. During the installation, you are asked which configuration of JBoss you want (all, default, ejb3 etc.). Both the all and ejb3 configurations provide EJB3 support.

So far, I’ve primarily been looking at Session beans. I’m impressed at the lack of verbose XML that needs to be written to deploy the beans (i.e. there was none!). The lack of boilerplate code required to develop these beens is very impressive, in fact my ant script was by far the most complex thing in my sample project.

I’ll post some more comments as I delve deeper, but so far I’m impressed and I think EJB3 is a large leap forwards in J2EE development.

A Simple Makefile for a GTK/GTKMM Project

By Anonymous
When compiling small applications, its fairly easy just to compile using g++ from the command line. If you’re compiling anything more complex than a single file, its probably easier to use a Makefile. This example Makefile demonstrates how to compile an application that uses the GTKMM library. NAME=my-app CFLAGS=-g -Wall -o $(NAME) GTKFLAGS=`pkg-config --cflags --libs gtkmm-3.0` SRCS=main.cc myapp.cc CC=g++ # Do all all: main # Compile main: $(SRCS) $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(SRCS) $(GTKFLAGS) # Clean clean: rm -f $(NAME) rm -f *.h~ rm -f *.cc~ rm -f Makefile~ rm -f *.glade~

Changing Default Search Provider in Firefox on Linux Mint

By
On Linux Mint, the default version of Firefox is installed and configured to allow the following search engines to be queried directly from the address bar: Yahoo! Startpage DuckDuckGo Wikipedia Mint defines these as the default available set of search engines based upon 3 criteria (funding to Linux Mint, privacy support and whether the search engine is non-commercial). Other search engines such as Google, Bing or Twitter, etc. can easily be added into the default version of Firefox however. To add a different search provider, browse to Search Engines At the bottom of the page, click on the icon of the requested search engine, then click on the ... button in the URL bar and select the Add Search Engine option. You then have the option to change the default search engine within Firefox preferences to your new choice.
