Its Lunch Time!

After programmer 2 shown programmer 1 how to deal with JSR 223 or JDK6 scripting ( part 1) programmer 2 went for lunch as he didn’t eat anything since yesterday and left programmer 1 to meet his fate.

Programmer 1 began to apply what he learned from programmer 2 and stuff went so bad, after 30 minutes programmer 2 came back.

Programmer 2: Man, how is everything going? (While he was just about to finish his last bite from the sandwich)

Programmer 1: man the performance sucks, it is really really slow and that won’t be good thing, it is bottleneck now

Programmer 2: ok let me see what did you do. (Swallowed his last bite hardly)

Scripting in JDK6 (JSR 223) Part 1

Introduction:

For sure most of us (mm guess so) have heard about the Scripting provided in Java 6 (Mustang) or JSR 223, 1st time I saw that (just saw the title) I thought that the Java guys will enable us to compile and run JavaScript scripts and that’s the end, well nope that wasn’t what Scripting in java 6 about but actually it is about enabling scripting languages to access the java platform and get the advantages of using java and the java programmers to use such scripting languages engines and get advantages from that (as we will see ).after I got it I was thinking : oh man if the team who implemented the Scripting engine were living in the dark age and they came up with such idea they will be accused of The practice of witchcraft but thanks God we are open-minded now and they will live and the good thing is that they will continue to practice witchcraft :D
So for now java guys will stay alive and continue to do their voodoo stuff and we will be looking at this nice scripting engine.

How to increase AIX swap space

"lsps -a"

This will display something like:

Page Space Physical Volume Volume Group Size %Used Active Auto Type
hd6 hdisk0 rootvg 512MB 1 yes yes lv

This means that hd6 is the logical volume used for paging. To increase it, use the following command:

"extendlv hd6 10G"

This will add 10G of space to hd6, now reboot and then re-run "lsps -a" or you can simply use the "topas" command to check the paging space available.

In the new release servlets makes heavy use of annotations to obsolete XML meta data (hell) and to make all its objects as POJOs .

Many changes have added to the new specs such request suspension and allowing servlets to be added to the web app after deployment that all were not allowed in the previous release that held the number 2.4.
