CORBA/JDK1.2

1998-11-25 Thread Christopher Rowan

You guys are all amazing!  Great work!

I hope you won't mind me asking when the Linux world can hope to see
Java IDL, or JDK1.2?

Thanks for any hints.  I am starting a project that requires CORBA.  I
want to do it on Linux if it all possible...

1.2 ETA?

1999-01-20 Thread Christopher Rowan

Any idea of an ETA on this?  Since there is no date for "now" it's hard
to judge progress.

Thanks for your hard work!


JDK 1.2 

The system is running on x86 and PowerPC, with ports underway to
SparcLinux and some other processors. Currently it's
native threads only. Before we can release, we have to make sure that it
passes the tests in the Java Compatibility Kit. I think
we should be ready to release in less than a month from now, and
hopefully much sooner.

Re: Problem : can't find class

1999-02-14 Thread Christopher Rowan

Common mistake.

You need to have . (current directory) in your PATH.

See the  leading dot on the example below:

CLASSPATH=.:/usr/local/java/lib/classes.zip:/usr/local/java/jsdk/lib/jsdk.jar

Making an Java Application "wait" to be called

1999-02-18 Thread Christopher Rowan

Heya Hiya Ho!

I want to make a database connection pool class that starts up,
preconnects n jdbc connections, then waits to be called by various apps.

How do I make Java wait without exiting and without putting it into a
cycle sucking loop?

I've checked the API docs and a few books (my due dilligence) but can't
find an answer.

It's got to be ez - I just can't find it.

Also, is CORBA/RMI the only way to call the connections?  Is this even
possible?

Suggestions?

Re: Solaris x86 and Linux

1999-02-18 Thread Christopher Rowan

Considering Sun was born to create "Open Computing" I hope they aren't
condemning Linux!  That would be TOO hypocritical!

I seem to remember an article somewhere saying that from 1.2 they would
be "wholeheartedly" supporting Linux...

I am new on this list and don't know about the 1.2 Java for Linux
scandal.  Could it be that Sun is taking over the project from blackdown
and it just hasn't been announced and everyone is sworn to secrecy... 
Ok... doubtful...

Re: 117a installation grief

1999-02-19 Thread Christopher Rowan

Which installer are you using?

Did you read the FAQ?

Did you read the INSTALL docs?  It's short, so it's easy to be fooled
into just skimming, but there are some very important details in there.

I'll bet you are using the Motif version.  Forget that - get the regular
version.  Also, grab the X dev rpm from an ftp.redhat.com mirror and put
that in too.  Sounds like you don't have it installed, which will be a
pain in the future.  You'll prolly want the C/C++ gcc dev libraries too.

I installed blackdown java as a newer than new newbie without a glitch. 
Read carefully and you should have zero problems...

Re: Making an Java Application "wait" to be called

1999-02-20 Thread Christopher Rowan

Well - I answered my own question!

Straight from Sun's Java tutorial on CORBA:

Waiting for Invocation

The server is ready; it simply needs to wait around for a client to
request its service. To achieve that, enter the following code at the
end of (but within) the try-catch block: 

java.lang.Object sync = new java.lang.Object();
synchronized(sync) {
sync.wait();
    }

rmi stable on 1.1.7a?

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Re: Uh oh...

1999-02-24 Thread Christopher Rowan

I am willing to bet you are using native threads linked against glibc
2.0.x.

DON'T!

I'm no authority, but one of the developers kindly informed me that
glibc is NOT THREAD SAFE and JDK 1.1.7 doesn't account for this (they
might add code to change this behaviour).

glibc 2.1 IS THREAD SAFE, but breaks things left and right due to
incompats.

SOLUTION:

Use green threads!

I was stress testing an RMI object and saw the same (couldn't believe it
- Java ISN'T supposed to core dump!)...

Green threads made the rmi object solid as a rock.

Re: Hatred of 1.2 messages

1999-02-24 Thread Christopher Rowan

John -

Gerald has a very good point that you may have missed.

To further emellish, turning people off to Java or Linux with impolite
messages raises the bar for adoption of both.  From this, no one
benefits.

Common netiquitte calls for RTFM first.  However, Gerald's point reminds
us of something more fundamental: the word netiquitte is derived in part
from "etiquette."

Good etiquette (and hence by extension netiquitte) demands a minimum
level of manners and politeness.

In Java parlance, netiquette extends etiquette and does not override the
base class' properties or methods.

Ignore the messages if you like.  I hope that every once in a while,
some kind soul will point the newcomer to the information they need and
gently remind them to RTFM next time.

My setup is identical and I use the same (Solaris) SDK as you.

What exactly do you mean by "Can't compile"?  What are the error

Do you have the jar file in your classpath?

It works here, so I am sure we can find a way to make it work there.

A few more details and feedback for the above questions should get us

Blackdown Java is still at 1.1.7 (not 1.2 yet).  This means you are
talking about a different implementation of Java.

This list if for Blackdown Java related questions only.  It is not a
general Java list.

Unless you have a secret copy of Blackdown Java or you have posted your

Please try another list.

Re: JDBC for Oracle?????n

1999-03-26 Thread Christopher Rowan

Term confusion here?

JDBC, an abstract database API, is part of Java and is included.

JDBC requires drivers for vendor specific db access.

In the case of Oracle, you need to look in the Oracle home jdbc/lib
directory for a file called classes111.zip.

Make sure this file is somewhere in your CLASSPATH and you're set!

jEdit/Blackdown 1.1.7a

1999-04-09 Thread Christopher Rowan

Howdy.

I use jEdit on RH5.2/jdk 1.1.7a/glibc-2.0.7-29.

Unfortunately, it is quite unstable and vaporizes frequently.  Poof! 
Just disappears :(

So I tried something crazy for comparison purposes:  I ran jEdit on
NT4.0sp3 with Sun's jdk1.1.7B.  It didn't crash even once in 8 hours. 
And the performance on a Pentium 200/64MB was much better (except for
startup time) than with Linux on a Pen II 300/196MB.

I strongly prefer Linux over NT, but in this case NT makes Linux look
silly.  

Could there be another explanation for the performance and stability
difference, or is the JVM on NT just that much better?  Someone please
say it isn't so!

Feedback please!  Save my trusty Pen II 300 from an NT install!

Installing TYA, been there? done that?

1999-05-02 Thread Christopher Rowan

Hi,

Having trouble getting tya to install on RedHat5.2 Blackdown 1.1.7.

./configure tells me it can't find my version.

make works.

make install installs the shared library, but it is not recognized,
despite setting the JAVA_COMPILER environment variable to tya.

Any hints?
