Kinda reminds me of the Ada wars in the late eighties. Compilers
weren't efficient, and that was held against the language. Now, Ada
compilers use the same back ends as the other languages and generate
code just as tight. Java will have to go through the same sort of
maturation...
I use a language for leverage (problem-solving power) and coverage (how
"distributable" are my apps?). Perl covers the first in spades. Perl
is Indiana Jones' gun to the turban-guy's C++ "sword" - _easy_ write
quite complex apps. Getting ready to learn Java because it does the
second quite well. Anybody seen the Java VNC client? You run your
browser, point it at a machine (UNIX or NT) running a VNC server, and
voila - your'e running that computer from your browser!! I'm building
a sort of "game server" for folks who want to broadcast their model
railroad operating sessions over the Internet (definitely a niche app),
and a Java client is the clear solution.
Java has had a slow start, but it's potential utility is too
compelling. Like Linux, 'cept Linux didn't start slow...

Subject: [ANN] WebMacro Servlet Framework 0.85.2
Date: Tue, 27 Apr 1999 03:53:56 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
WebMacro Servlet Framework
==========================
Announcing WebMacro 0.85.2:
http://www.webmacro.org/
WebMacro is a Java servlet development framework, including a
template engine plus extensible component model. It uses Java
introspection to make ordinary objects in your servlet accessible
as variables in a simple, concise template script.
WebMacro is free under the GPL, with alternate licensing available
for proprietary commercial use. See the website for details.
Is WebMacro Useful?
===================
Here's what people on the WebMacro list ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
have to say about it:
"FYI Justin, I'm now running over 10 web applications (in
production) using WebMacro. It runs like a scalded dog, and
makes it easy for the designers to produce layout, so I can
concentrate on code. Keep up the good work."
-Jason Hill
"BTW, I really like your philosophy, and the code looks nicely
done. I was looking at the latest JSP incarnation and my
stomach was churning. The simple $x.y.z and # syntax you use
is perfect."
-Ari Halberstadt
"so much of webmacro is what I had planned to write on my own, only
better laid out"
-Robert Hentosh
"Finally, thanks for a great product that saves you from the
problem with writing html-code in your Java sourcefiles!"
-Jonsson Fredrik
"I found Webmacro last Friday just as I was completing a suite
of servlets. Fetched the mailing list archives (and actually
read them <g>) and totally loved the concept and the direction
that webmacro is heading. I've been rewriting my set of
servlets and gleefully tearing every shred of HTML code out
of my java <*very* big grin>."
-William Featherston
"Ease of use plus power makes killer apps."
-Simon Arthur
What's WebMacro for?
====================
The WebMacro philosophy is:
"Things that you don't care about should get out of your face."
Programmers should not have their code cluttered up with HTML and
stylesheet junk. Web page designers should not have to put up with
complex and scary looking program code.
WebMacro lets programmers get back to programming--in an ordinary,
powerful programming language (Java); while letting page designers
work with plain old HTML and a simple script language.
Or, to put it another way, WebMacro brings a Model/View/Controller
design to servlet programming: Your servlet (controller) processes
input and interacts with back-end business objects (model), handing
data to the template (view)--which turns it into HTML.
WebMacro does the hard work of analyzing your objects to determine
how they can be accessed in the template; WebMacro also provides a
simple, concise script language for use in HTML templates; plus
WebMacro provides an extensible, customizable component model to
manage your back-end beans and other business objects.
What Changed?
============
- 0.85.2 fixed several bugs: macros in lists weren't evaluated,
#foreach would not use list initializer syntax; #if evaluated
its condition twice, $Broker variable in templates was failing.
- 0.85.1 fixed minor bugs: extraneous errors in log cleaned up,
introspector now uses iterator() methods properly, docs updated.
- 0.85 added reloadable templates, cleaned up the WMServlet API,
added template paths, made it easier to compile under Java 2,
and fixed several nasty bugs.
- 0.80 added method calls, generic templates, template parameters,
list initializer syntax, comments, bug fixes, and a few other things;
0.80.1 fixes a minor bug in 0.80 (name of error template).
- 0.75 added the component model, full fledged introspection
0.75.3 fixes all bugs reported as of January 22 1998
- 0.70 more back end services, better design, and fewer bugs
- 0.60 script language mostly in place, minimal introspection, many bugs
- 0.30 WebMacro said "Hello, World!" in a secret experiment
WebMacro pre-1.0 is beta software. Despite that, recent versions are
increasingly stable. A few features remain to be implemented in
order to get to 1.0.
What are the Advantages?
========================
* Clean. Write crisp, clear code free of HTML and presentation issues.
* Simple. Put intuitive template scripts inside ordinary HTML.
* Powerful. Script variables analyze and access ordinary Java objects.
* Independent. Change templates without touching your servlet.
* Extensible. Component model lets you to extend WebMacro itself.
* Fast. WebMacro caches parsed templates for high-performance use.
* Free. WebMacro is available under the GPL.
I Need an Example!
==================
The WebMacro introspector analyzes your objects, and figures out how
to extract sub-objects as variables in the template script. All you
do as a programmer is provide ordinary Java objects using ordinary
Java code. Notice how clean the code is without all the HTML.
This Java servlet code:
// subclass WMServlet and implement handle:
Template handle(WebContext context) {
// populate the context with ordinary objects
Store curStore = ...;
context.put("Store", curStore);
// pick a template
String tmplName = ...;
Template tmpl = getTemplate(tmplName);
return tmpl;
}
supplies the data for this template:
<h1>Products for $Store.Name as of $Store.Date</h1>
<table><tr><td>What We Have</td> <td>How Many Left</td></tr>
#foreach $product in $Store.Products {
<tr><td>$product.Name costs \$$product.Price</td>
#if ($product.isAvailable()) {
<td>There are $product.Count in stock</td>
} #else {
<td>Sorry, out of stock.</td>
}
</tr>
}
</table>
From the programmers point of view, Store, Product, etc., are
just regular objects. No work is required to open them up to the
introspector--just toss them in a WebMacro context and it will
work out what properties and sub-objects are available.
See the website to learn more.

If you use csh:

in your .cshrc file. This will set your backspace key for erase.
I'm not sure if it's the same for bash.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but........ hogwash. :-) That's just an
old Internet myth. The bits are exactly the same no matter whether they're
written at 1x or 2x. I've been burning at least a disc one day for the last 2
years, and not a single one has ever demonstrated any problems from being
recorded at more than 1x.
The vast majority of those problems are caused by something besides the
recording speed.

That's true of ANY disc. The data on a CD-R is stored on the underside of the

Subject: Out of memory untar'ing onto vfat fs
Date: Tue, 27 Apr 1999 09:31:16 +0100
I've created a boot disk with sufficient stuff on it to back up
a DOS or windows system to a remote tape drive, and restore it
again. While not perfect, it's ideal for security backups of
user hard disks.
However, when I mount a fat32 volume, and untar anything much onto
it, I keep running out of memory. This seems to happen regardless
of whether or not I create a swapfile of any size on the target
disk before I start. It doesn't happen if it's ext2, or msdos.
I suspect some sort of memory leak in kernel space (kernel 2.0.35
in this case)
Ideas?

Date: 27 Apr 1999 14:33:10 GMT
Hi,
I am posting this for people who are using HP-870cxi printer
(actually cdj850 driver), and that found that the printing is very slow.
The driver is set to print in high quality (called PRESENTATION) by default,
We can either change the printing quality in the driver, or in the filter,
to print in low (called DRAFT) quality.

Solution 1 : modify the filter file (gs option)

we add -sQUALITY=DRAFT with DRAFT=-1 to gs option,
so that they are passed to the driver.

Use a real X-Server. I'm following this Sis6326 discussion now for
almost half a year. What worth is an X-Server that cannot get a half
way trivial chip to work at all (and still claiming support for
it). And if you want to get anything on the screen, then you have to
disable all the acceleration the chip would offer.

PS: Yes, Accelerated-X does support the SiS6326 now for more than that
long, and yes it works with full acceleration, but that's really
not the point.

Subject: Port 12345 connection attempt? Que?
Date: Tue, 27 Apr 1999 22:56:46 +0800
I was just checking through my logs and came across this:
daemon.log:Feb 28 01:20:37 monster tcplogd: port 12345 connection attempt
from ppp185.dyn112.pacific.net.sg [210.24.112.185]
daemon.log:Mar 30 19:43:49 monster tcplogd: port 12345 connection attempt
from Jedi-120.nw.com.au [203.29.88.170]
daemon.log:Mar 30 19:45:00 monster tcplogd: port 12345 connection attempt
from Jedi-120.nw.com.au [203.29.88.170]
The only thing that looks remotely like this is /etc/inittab's entry for
shutdown, but, given that there's nothing remotely like that number in
/etc/services, trying to connect there would seem silly..
What bug were these dweebs trying to exploit?

That's revisionist rot (at least in part.) There are more forces at
work in the OSS world than purely those that you discuss in the above
two paragraphs.
But there no time to discuss this properly. I've a train to catch,
and a long wait if I miss it...
