Download source behind firewall

2004-12-01 Thread Sundaranathan
Hi All,
  Can anyone let me know how do i download the source of geronimo. 
I tried using svn checkout 
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/trunk geronimo, but i am not 
able to do it. It gives the following error svn: Unrecognized URL 
scheme 'https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/trunk' . This could 
be because i am behind firewall. Please let me know how do it checkout 
the geronimo source using svn.

thanks,
-Sundar.

Sundar,
The secure URL is for committers only. Try using the non-secure URL:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/trunk
The HTTP protocol can easily tunnel through a firewall as long as the 
firewall allows it. That's actually a big reason that Subversion uses 
URLs over the HTTP protocol. But if you must use a proxy from behind 
your firewall, the Subversion client needs to be configured for this. 
Please see the following section of the Subversion book that discusses 
configuration options for proxy servers:

I just double checked on a clean machine and https works without an 
Apache login.  I believe the problem is you did not install svn+ssl.

If you don't have permission to upgrade the svn client on your 
computer, you can try http://tmate.org/svn/ which is a pure java 
subversion client that supports http, https, svn and svn+ssh connection 
protocols.

Should i configure something to get the ssl. Please let me know what is

was latest.

Re: BLOB manipulation - question

2004-12-01 Thread Gianny Damour
Dain, Jeremy, thanks for your replies.
Here is a short description of what I have so far understood about LOB 
manipulations:

setBinaryStream
setBinaryStream does work with Derby, MySQL and Oracle (except where the 
content is bigger than 4k). The JDBC specifications 3.0  mandate that 
the method setBinaryStream may also be used to store BLOB.

BLOB creation
* in the case of Oracle, the empty_blob() method is indeed to be used to 
create an empty BLOB. I tried unsuccessfully other approaches 
(setNull(index, Types.BLOB),  setBinaryStream(index, null, 0) and INSERT 
TABLE A (myBLOBColumn) VALUES ('')).
* in the case of MySQL a simple INSERT TABLE A (myBLOBColumn) VALUES 
('') works.

BLOB update
BLOB updates are done either directly to the LOB itself or to a copy. It 
is implementation dependent and the method 
DatabaseMetaData.locatorsUpdateCopy() indicates which of this 
implementation is supported by a driver.

* Oracle works directly with the LOB. This means that to update a BLOB, 
one just needs to do that:
statement.executeUpdate(CREATE TABLE A (a1 VARCHAR(10), a2 BLOB));

// execute this query to create a BLOB.
preparedStatement = connection.prepareStatement(INSERT INTO A (a1, a2) 
VALUES ('a1', EMPTY_BLOB()));
preparedStatement .execute();

// update it in place
preparedStatement = connection.prepareStatement(SELECT a2 FROM A WHERE 
a1 = 'a1' FOR UPDATE);
resultSet = preparedStatement .executeQuery();
rs.next();
Blob blob = rs.getBlob(1);
OutputStream out = blob.setBinaryStream(1);
// update the Blob by writing new data via out.write()
// truncate Blob if required via blob.truncate(long);

connection.commit();
The above snippet works with Oracle10g JDBC driver and above. Prior to 
this version, Oracle specific classes need to be used.

* MySQL works with a copy of the LOB. This means that to update a BLOB, 
one needs to update it via setBlob or updateBlob. The previous snippet 
becomes:
// execute this query to create a BLOB.
preparedStatement = connection.prepareStatement(INSERT INTO A (a1, a2) 
VALUES ('a1', ''));
preparedStatement .execute();

// update the BLOB copy
preparedStatement = connection.prepareStatement(SELECT a2 FROM A WHERE 
a1 = 'a1' FOR UPDATE);
resultSet = preparedStatement .executeQuery();
rs.next();
Blob blob = rs.getBlob(1);
OutputStream out = blob.setBinaryStream(1);
// update the Blob by writing new data via out.write()
// truncate Blob if required via blob.truncate(long);

// update the BLOB itself
preparedStatement = c.prepareStatement(UPDATE A SET a2 = ? WHERE a1 = 
'a1');
preparedStatement .setBlob(1, blob);
preparedStatement .execute();

connection.commit();
Based on these findings, I have started to implement a solution which 
does this:
* use setBinaryStream if specified; or
* decompose INSERT and UPDATE statements into two or three statements 
depending on a locatorsUpdateCopy configuration.

Thanks,
Gianny


Re: BLOB manipulation - question

Looks like it it time to implement some dialect specific back ends for 
TranQL.  The original plan was to have an oracle specific sql generator 
to get around problems like blob insertion, blob updating, and 
differences in temporal types.

Re: Changes to GBeanInfo classes

2004-12-01 Thread Dain Sundstrom
Done
-dain
On Nov 29, 2004, at 5:43 PM, Dain Sundstrom wrote:
Summary:
I think we need to change the GBeanInfo classes so the constructors 
require all data be specified.  This means that the GBeanInstance (the 
implementation class) will not try to figure things out such as 
accessor names.  This change will not break Geronimo, OpenEJB or 
ActiveMQ, since all of these projects never work directly with the 
GBeanInfo classes directly.  Instead they always work through the 
GBeanInfoBuilder class.  This will break code that is building 
GBeanInfo objects directly (I don't know of any but there could be 
some out there).

Problems:
The lack of information in the GBeanInfo classes is leading to overly 
complex code.  The GBeanInfo classes were originally designed to make 
it easy for programers to create the info objects by hand (in static 
code blocks).  The classes were designed to take the minimum amount of 
information necessary to create a GBeanMBean.  Information such as an 
accessor name could be left unspecified, and the GBeanMBean would 
guess the accessor name based on JavaBean naming conventions.  This 
guessing is itself complex, and does not allow for user supplied 
algorithms for matching.  This lack of information is also carried 
through the rest of the system.  For example, the kernel has a 
getGBeanInfo method to retrieve the GBean info for any registered 
GBean.  The problem is the GBeanInfo is not fully specified, which 
make it difficult to write things like a kernel based console and the 
MEJB (We currently have a pretty ugly hack that makes some of this 
possible).

Solution:
Change the GBeanInfo classes to require full specification and move 
the figure things out code from the GBeanInstance to the 
GBeanInfoBuilder.

Impact:
This direct creation of GBeanInfo objects has been discarded over time 
and has been replaced with the GBeanInfoBuilder class.  There are very 
few classes that construct a GBeanInfo or deal with one directly, and 
most of those are internal to the Kernel.  After checking, Geronimo, 
ActiveMQ, and OpenEJB, I only found one use of a GAttributeInfo 
constructor in ActiveMQ, which can trivially be converted to the 
equivalent GBeanInfoBuilder method.  Quoting from above, this change 
will not break Geronimo, OpenEJB or ActiveMQ... This will break code 
that is building GBeanInfo objects directly (I don't know of any but 
there could be some out there).

Benefits:
GBean implementation becomes a lot less complex.
Enables the ability to write more complex GBeanInfoBuilders.
Validation of GBeanInfo is much easier, and happens at GBeanInfo 
creation time instead of when we attempt to instantiate a 
GBeanInstance.
GBean browsers such as MEJB and consoles are much easier to write.
