I don’t know why, even if there is a lot of documentation on the subject the mod_jk installation still seems a bit of mystic elements. This is why I decided to write a very short mod_jk configuration guide oriented for debian, ubuntu linux systems. First, mod_jk is an apache module which allows a more customized communication to an apache tomcat server using the AJP 1.3 protocol. This usually happens using the TCP port 8009 so yes, there must be a connection from the apache server to the tomcat one....

I’ve been waiting with impatience the new Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex. So I’ve downloaded the CD as soon as it appeared and started upgrading the Ubuntu 8.04 on my DELL Latitude D820 to the new version. The install Since I’ve had some problems in the past with the upgrade process I’ve decided to do it simple and just do a clean install on a different partition based on the desktop installer CD....

I am quite a fan of BPM concepts and since for the time JBPM is the most know implementation which I have used already in several projects I am stuck with it. Yet it’s one of the more complex-inefficient models I have seen. Enough cause to loose a few days. The context The application was tested with a few tens of workflows and works reasonable. Increasing the number of workflows by an order of ten and you have long waiting minutes ahead just for the simple task of finding the TaskInstances....

One week ago I migrated my personal site/blog from Plone to WordPress. As such I’ve decided to write a small comparison of the 2 systems. Let’s pun things in my context. A few years ago I’ve worked on a custom CMS implementation. The goal was to develop a product targeted for accesibility and simplicity of use. And, as it was the golden age it was decided to implement it from scratch using java....

I was explaining here how to create a Quartz job using the standard Quartz-ra service which comes bundled with JBoss. The method is rather limited, or I was not able to find the proper documentation on how to register new jobs on the fly. This is why in this post I will show how to access the quartz scheduler directly. Note: everything here applies to JBoss 4.2.2GA Remove the existing Quartz You need to remove the existing Quartz-ra and quartz....

Va mai aduceti aminte cum arata primul site pe care l-ati avut? Noroc ca sunt pastrator si am un CVS plin de vechituri lucruri folositoare. Am gasit cateva versiuni de site-uri pe care le-am avut de-a lungul timpului: Acum, http://www.len.ro 2006 – 2008, http://www.len.ro 2004 – 2006, http://len.is-a-geek.org 2001, la home.ro 1999 Comments: Pitzi - Nov 2, 2008 interesant ca ai revenit la un logo asemanator cu cel din 1999 … nitzel mai derivat....

The task ahead was to migrate my old plone based blog/site to a wordpress site. Here was a short list of items to keep in mind: plone import content (normal content ~ 600 entries, special:ContentPanels) keep old links still valid including RSS !? handle relative links in posts handle google (sitemap, adwords, analytics) design (find theme, modify css, logo/photo, php part) others (the photos, favicon, 404 page, pre style for code snippets) Export data My first idea was to use the XML export of Plone but this seemed buggy in my install so I decided to create an XML export of my own....

Len.ro new generation. Ma tot gandesc de ceva timp sa migrez len.ro fie intr-o versiune noua de plone fie in wordpress. M-am decis sa aleg a doua varianta si sa merg pe wordpress. Asa ca vineri dimineata cum oricum nu puteam sa dorm mi-am facut clasicul todo si m-am apucat de munca distractie. Rezultatul e ce vedeti. Revin cu detalii tehnice in curand. Am reusit migrez aproape tot continutul si linkurile (sper)....

La invitatia lui Cristi Manafu am vorbit azi la prima editie a webstock.ro in cadrul primei sesiuni impreuna cu Cristi Manafu, Cabral, Catalin Tenita, Vlad Petreanu si Bobby Voicu. Organizarea mi s-a parut super si cred ca evenimentul de azi e unul din etapele necesare pentru evolutia blogosferei. Daca ma intreaba cineva acum ce cred despre blogosfera as zice ca e o supa in care un bucatar a pus o multime de ingrediente mai mult sau mai putin asemanatoare si/sau compatibile....
