Ineffectual corporate
management has given a
great gift to
programmers, system
administrators, and CIOs
- endless corporate
accounting scandals. Our
federal government has
not missed this
scandalous behavior as

Often, when someone asks
how we are going to scale
the Web application we're
about to develop, we look
at them, smile, and say,
'Not a problem - we'll
just cluster the
application servers.'

application across

The vast majority of Java
enterprise applications
are architected along the
lines of Sun's original
PetStore showcase
application. Rather than
seeing this as a market
stall displaying all the
J2EE goods on offer,
developers took it ...
I have come to the
unpleasant realization
that I might have
forgotten how to learn.
I'm not talking about the
small bridges we cross
every day in our jobs or
our lives. I'm talking
about the big tectonic
shifts that take place

The need for a
chemical/biological early
warning system within
mass transportation sites
is real and was being
researched before the
September 11 terrorist

While browsing through a
book on Web services (XML
and Web Services
Unleashed by Ron
Schmelzer), some things
jumped out at me. First,
it's really scary how

Well, you may have seen
the Java Industry
Newsletter's hot story,
'Eclipse versus

This article is the
second in a two-part

Widely referred to as the
'Oscars of the software

Readers' Choice Awards

Two and a half years ago,
when he stepped in to
help Oracle get back into
the application server
business, Thomas Kurian
had quite a tough row to

with Kurian his 30-month
journey, and a...
At the opening keynote
speech at the EclipseCon
conference last month,
Erich Gamma showed the
Swingset application
running inside an Eclipse
viewer. For me, it was a
definitive demonstration
of the two GUI toolkits
side by side. Ins...
Let's create a wish list
of items you'd like to
see in a Java-friendly
operating system. For
development you need a
robust operating system
that makes it easy for
you to code, compile,
debug, build, and deploy
your Java app. It woul...
I have a love/hate
relationship with J2EE. I
love the idea of
standards that we can all
use in our development to
improve interoperability,
ease integration issues,
create a pool of skilled
developers, etc. I hate
the idea that I ha...

month I'll discuss the...
The integrated
development environment
(IDE) is a big part of
the toolkit of a modern

The mobile industry is
