It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. </p><p> Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. <sup id="en-NIV-28661" class="versenum" value="11">1</sup>When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. </p><p> And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.

For example,"YouJumpIJump", "Whyusolazyanddirty"<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></li><li>Append the phrase with the website you wants to log into, for example "YouJumpIJumpFacebook"</li><li>For every phrase, replace all vowels to a special character that easy for u to remember, for example:<br /></li></ol><ul><li>"a" with "^" or "@"</li><li>"e" with "3"</li><li>"i" with numeric "1"</li><li>"o" with numeric zero, i.e. "0", or with "()"<br /></li><li>"u" with "*"</li></ul> 4. Thus, phrase above will translated with "Y()*J*mp1J*mpF@c3b()()k".. easy isn't it..<br /><br />Here are some more example:<br /><br />"YouJumpIJumpHotmail" -> "Y()*J*mp1J*mpH()tm@1l"<br />"iLoveDurianYahoo" -> "1L()v3D*r1@nY@h()()"<br />"JamesLoveUXP" -> "J@m3sL()v3*XP"<br /><br />Hope u like it..<br /><br />PS: The fact is my darling did not tear her hair, I just make it up to spice up the story, sorry Darling....ha ha..<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11158661-4861907259926193212?l=coolboykl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Khoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16227403501629231154noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11158661.post-44129273818321649882009-03-10T08:13:00.005+08:002009-03-10T08:30:45.397+08:00My girl friend will be away from me for few days, so I wrote her a letter which read :<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Darling</span><br /><br />Warning, you have 5 minutes to find out the hidden message from the picture below, and send the hidden message to +60-16-XXXXXXX before 10:50pm.. failing to do so..

I looks into mirror and told myself, "yes James, u can do it, u are good looking, and cute (i.e ugly but adorable, haha)". I am ready.<br /><br />While at the school hall, I am getting nervous, and my palm start sweating, and getting bit wet. Stupid James, cool down, Ok. How u expect to hand hold her hand with ur slippy hand. Cool down.. Hm, where is 珊? is she ok?<br /><br />Found her at the back stage. 珊 have two stage performances, a group dance, and a solo dance, she is rehearsal some dance routine, which take my breath away, glamorous and enchanting. I just stand a one corner, and admiring her from a distance. Finally, she notice me, I then smiled at her, give a "V" hand signal to her, wishing her luck for the performance, she smile and acknowledge it. I quietly walk back to my seat, as the show about to start.<br /><br />珊 solo dance performance wins a lot of applaud and cheers from audiences, I notice a lot of of my senior start noticing her, and whispering who is the girl, some even say must invite her for the lover bridge game later. O oh, no good no good..<br /><br />When the DJ announced the lover bridge game about to start, and asking all of us to get our partner ready, I quickly runs toward 珊, wanted to invite her for the game, however, 珊 is already been approached by 5-6 seniors, and they all are popular and handsome then me. 珊 didn't notice me at all, knowing the chance to invite her for the game is very slim, I am sad, and disappointed, quietly walk away.<br /><br /><br />Suddenly, someone hold my hand..<br /><br />"Hey, where have u been!!!, I been waiting for u to invite me for the game, you stupid!", 珊 said in a cute voice, with the tone pretending she is upset..<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://media.imeem.com/p/sVWTtmIFHc.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 217px; height: 289px;" src="http://media.imeem.com/p/sVWTtmIFHc.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Then she give me a light kiss on my cheek, and said.

People just envy or jealous about two of us, even our teachers also know there is "little love in the air" between me and 珊.<br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br />There are many times during those casual walk I really wants to hold 珊's hand, like pretend to fall down, hope she will try to catch me, or try to get my hand very close to her, but all fails, one reason is I am still very shy, and the other reason is Chong Hua high school is very strict, any boy and girl get caught of holding hand by our discipline teacher will call into her office, and be prepared to nag by her for at least two hours, and worse, both parents will be notified, haha.<br /><br /></div>I know my only chance to hold her hand <span style="font-weight: bold;">legally </span>is to invite her to play lover bridge game at the Chinese new years party, in three weeks times. FYI, the Chinese new year party is yearly event organized by students who stay at school hostel (There are about 1000 of us stay at school hostel that year). The party usually run one week before Chinese new year. Teacher are invited to the party, with yummy foods and drinks, stage performances by students (comedy, singing, dance, magic show, and etc) from different dorms, and most importantly some party games.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:kwelSOfNlfJFcM:http://www.romancetracker.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/holding-hands.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 120px; height: 79px;" src="http://tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:kwelSOfNlfJFcM:http://www.romancetracker.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/holding-hands.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />The most anticipated event for us (well, for guy at least) is the "LoverBridge" game at the end of the party, where Guy are allows to invite any girl, hand hold the girl to quickly go through "Lover bridge" (form by a group students) before music stop. When the music stop, the bridge will lower down, and any pair caught in the bridge will be out of the game, and the game continue..kind of childish from today standarad, I know.. But that time, we consider that is a very big event for "Single" Guy like us..<br /><br />To attend the party, and to make me stands out compare with others, I needs the following:<br />a) A new shining cloth and jean<br />b) A smooth and clean face,<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">-----------------------------------------------------------<br /></div><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">A) Getting a new Shining Cloth and Jean</span></span><br /><br />"Mom, can I have RM50?", I asked my Mom.<br /><br />"RM50!!!!!

I am worried that she might don't able to take her lunch before our afternoon class start.<br /><br />So I excuse myself, order some light foods and drink, and quickly rush back (is more like running 100 meter in 10 seconds) to our classroom, and found out that 珊 still working very hard on her essay.<br /><br />I walk quietly toward her, slowly and nervously hand over the foods and drink to her, and say "Err....this is for u.."<br /><br />She first stare the food and drink, and then she looks into my eye, smile and say "Thanks, we share share the food, ok!", Bingo!..<br /><br />Then ..the magic just happen..<br /><br />She slowly raise her hand, to tidy up my shirt, and comb my hair a bit..<br />"Next time, u don't have to run, ok."<br /><br />Wow, I am just stun, like forever, and no idea what to do next..she just smile away.<br /><br />From that moment, I know I am in love with her, and she soft of "confirm" that I am her Boyfriend.<br /><br />However, we only start holding each other hand about two weeks later.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">------- To be continue --------<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11158661-98647423428499292?l=coolboykl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Khoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16227403501629231154noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11158661.post-29532071404351736452009-01-16T12:06:00.008+08:002009-06-24T11:59:58.411+08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.arenaflowers.com/product_image/large/2598-puppy_love_grey_dog.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 261px; cursor: pointer; height: 261px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://www.arenaflowers.com/product_image/large/2598-puppy_love_grey_dog.jpg" border="0" /></a>Do u on and off miss your puppy love? And when u do, do u smile of those happy moments u both share or those little secret only and u and her know? Do u occasionally still hope that one day, u could meet up with her again, even after many many years u have lost contact with her?<br /><br />Well, I do. Her name is 海珊 (i.e Coral), and here is our story.<br /><br />1989, I am 17, face full of pimples, am study at Seremban Chong Hua High School. 海珊 joined our class (Form 5 Science Class-B) after long holiday break.<br /><br />"Class, we have a new student join us today, her name is 海珊, and previously she is from..", our teacher introduce her, while I still half awake, and half asleep.<br /><br />"Ubi (my nick name, i.e Potato), wake up! got Leng Lui (pretty girl) joining our class..", my friend Thong try to awake me...<br /><br />"huh....Where?"<br /><br />"Hi everyone, my name is 海珊, glad to joining this class..."<br /><br />Wow, such a lovely and cute cute voice, fully awake now,Oh my god! she is indeed a pretty girl and till now, I still remember her first smile. When she smile to every one of us, I feels that our class room is brighter, warmer, and fresher, as there is a little Sun, shining through from her head. I swear I didn't exaggerate any of this. this is what I truely feels then, maybe this is love at first sight?<br /><br />"珊, u could sit beside Khoo..", did I hear that correctly? my teacher just ask her to sit beside me..wow..thanks teacher, muak muak.. thanks very much. I promise I will not sleep again in your class.<br /><br />"Hi, 珊 here, nice to meet you.",<br /><br />"Hi, my name is Khoo.. ", When I am about to start my usual James Bond style introduction, i.e Khoo, James Khoo.. ..<br /><br />"And we all call him Ubi", Thong interrupted, stupid Thong, spoil my image..<br /><br />She chuckle a bit, and give her right hand toward me.. I just sit that, admiring her smile, and no idea what to do next, till Thong smack my head. "Yoi!, Stupid, she wants to shake your hand..gentleman a little lah"..<br /><br />"Oh, Oh, sorry, nice to meet you!", nervously give my left hand toward her, and about to shake her hand, ops! found out given wrong hand, quickly change to my right hand instead, and she is doing the same... and then, our first magical moment just happen..<br /><br />We looks into each other..<br />Eye to Eye.<br />Then time just stop.<br />The whole class room just have me and her,<br />And, we shake hand, smile, and laugh at each other.<br />And this is how we first meet.<br /><br />To be continue..<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11158661-2953207140435173645?l=coolboykl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Khoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16227403501629231154noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11158661.post-88675697884106937632009-01-13T14:33:00.002+08:002009-01-13T14:55:52.371+08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3103/2847520663_5bcd410dbf.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 333px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3103/2847520663_5bcd410dbf.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The rain finally stop</span>, I open up my window, the air is so fresh, sunlight shinning through my eye, warm, and full of energy.<br /><br />After weeks living in the dark, the Ram is about to embark a new journey.<br />Is the world ready for the Ram?<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">1,2,3 Go!</span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11158661-8867569788410693763?l=coolboykl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Khoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16227403501629231154noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11158661.post-25950108830217776422009-01-07T12:20:00.007+08:002009-01-07T15:38:19.146+08:00I been trying to debug the following error for days, and it drive me nuts!<br /><br />The problem: JPA refuse to compile one of my NamedQuery, and throws the following error:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Error compiling the query [UserVO.findByUserName: SELECT u FROM UserVO u WHERE u.name = :name].<span style="font-weight: bold;"> Unknown abstract schema type [UserVO] </span></span><br /><br />After numerous Google search, I conclude that JPA will throw "Unknown abstract schema type" when JPA fail locate your entity class". Most often, this type error occurs when:<br /><ul><li>Developer have put down database table name instead of Entity Class name in the JPA query. eg. if we have a EntityClass UserVO which map to table name users, the query "<span style="font-weight: bold;">SELECT u from users u</span>" will throw the above exception.</li></ul><ul><li>When running JPA in standalone, or not JavaEE container(such as Tomcat 5/6), they forgot to explicit list all entities class in the persistence.xml, thus JPA fail to locate the entities when compile the query.<br /></li></ul>None of above apply to my case, I have explicit listed all my entities class in the persistence.xml<br />and I am sure my JPA query is valid. I have tested my code with different JPA implementations, but always resulted the same error..<br /><br />Here my UserVO class<br /><pre style="border: 1px dashed rgb(153, 153, 153); padding: 5px; overflow: auto; font-family: Andale Mono,Lucida Console,Monaco,fixed,monospace; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); font-size: 12px; line-height: 14px; width: 100%;"><br /><code><br />@Entity(name = "users")<br />@NamedQuery(name = "UserVO.findByUserName",<br /> query = "SELECT u FROM UserVO u WHERE u.name = :name")<br />public class UserVO extends implements Serializable {<br /><br /> |<br /> |<br />}<br /><br /></code></pre><br />If I remove the NamedQuery, my JPA able to work as expected, i.e I am able to insert, delete, and update UserVO object.<br />Now, to all my smart reader, can u spot what's wrong in my code?

I am writing this post to tell the universal law of attraction and my readers what I want to achieve in my career in 3-5 years time. According to the book "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Secret-Rhonda-Byrne/dp/1582701709/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1219153911&amp;sr=8-1">The Secret</a>", to make one's dream comes true, we just need to ask for it, visualize our needs, write it down in detail somewhere and feel it. One day, what you have request/dream will come true ……<br /><br />So, here is my <span style="font-weight: bold;">“Secret”.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Date: 2011/2012<br />Venue: KL Hilton Hotel, Lobby<br /><br />Wendy, from The Edge Magazine : "Hi James, thanks for your valuable time to do this interview."<br /></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Me: "It’s my pleasure."<br /><br />Wendy: "First of all, could u share with our readers how u end up in <st1:place st="on"><st1:city st="on">ur</st1:city></st1:place> current job, i.e Google Creative Director for Asian region."</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="">Me: “I have always wanted to work with Google, so 4-5 years ago, I decided to apply for a technical job position at Google. However, given that I am already 35 years old that time, and working as a boring software development manager but not as talented (in terms of technical) as most of Google staff, and does not hold any working permit for US/India/China (where Google R&amp;D centre is based), <span style=""> </span>my chance of Google granting me an interview 4-5 years ago is very,very, very slim, :-(<br /><br />So, instead of going via the normal route of applying a job at Google (i.e upload my resume to Google jobs portal and throwing my CV into giant black hole), I have to try another route. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">I am very creative person, I also have ideas to make life easy, and some of my crazy ideas are very “Google” when I discuss some of my Google idea with my friends, and most of them agree that idea will work. So I decided to post my ideas to Google at my blog, and hope that Google HR will one day notice my creativity and call me for an interview. <span style=""> </span>After posting about 10-15 ideas, I finally got call from Google HR for an interview, and after couple of more interviews and tests, I ended up with my current job position.”<o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Wendy: “Wow, that’s a unique way getting a company’s attention. So tell me, what is the job scope for Creative Director, i.e what do you need to do and deliver.”<o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Me: “Well, as Creative director for Google, I have to invent and deliver three-four ideas (i.e new Google services) to Google per year, The 2 -3 ideas must be profitable, and rest of ideas are platforms to improve community lifestyle, like free education for poor people, making our earth greener, reduce the gap of digital divine and etc. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">My daily work involves discussing ideas to product and user groups, do a quick POC of my idea with my team, perform market survey about the idea, and finally work closely with product development group to implement the idea”</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Wendy: “Oh, that’s a very fun and exciting job, so Khoo, tell me, where u get <st1:place st="on"><st1:city st="on">ur</st1:city></st1:place> creative juice for all these great ideas.”<o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Me: “Hmmm, good question, and I don’t think I have answer for that, <span style=""> </span>new idea will strike me out of no where, while driving, while watching movie, at the beach and even day dreaming. Hm..ok,, seriously, if I really have to put a answer on this question, I believed most of my creativities are from my observation. I like to do a lot of research, try out new things, observe people, and always aware of happenings around me. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Let me give u an example, the idea of “<a href="http://coolboykl.blogspot.com/2007/10/google-idea-sms-protect-me.html">SMS Protect Me</a>” came about after I read a news report that the rate of Malaysia women Malaysia being hit, raped, even murdered is increasing each year, and the sad part is most of victims are just doing day to day activities like taking a cab back home, jogging, shopping, waiting for someone to pick them up, and etc. So while driving to work, I am thinking is there any way to prevent this or reduce the crime rate, and out of sudden, my friend SMS me to go for breakfast. This is how the idea strike me.”</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p>Wendy: “Cool, so James, or shall I address u as Mr Coolboy, out of so many ideas u invented, do u have one idea u very proud off?”</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Me: “Hm, another good question. Well, if I have to pick one, I will pick "<a href="http://coolboykl.blogspot.com/2007/09/ideas-to-google-part-ii-save-our-mother.html">Google earth points</a>", as I am very concern about our environment, and I wants our children have better place to live tomorrow. I am glad that the launch of Google earth points are very well receive by many parties, a recent study shows that, since launch of Google earth points, Google and other partners have help reduce global <span style=""> </span>carbon emission by a total of 3-4%. Thanks to all the loving and caring Google users. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Oh, oh speaking of Google earth points, let’s me reveal this great marketing plan to u, thanks to <st1:city st="on"><st1:place st="on">Toyota</st1:place></st1:city>. Starting next month, for anyone who purchase new Toyota 5 star green energy efficient car, Toyota will automatically granted purchaser for total 10 million Google earth points, 10 million Google earth points will entitled user to redeem latest Android Phone with 1 year unlimited voice, video calls, and unlimited usage of premium Google service for a year, Isn’t that exciting?”<o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Wendy: “This is a very good news, do tell us more”</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Me: “Sure, wait till next month, at our press conference. Ha ha”<o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Wendy: “…</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Stay tune for part two.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11158661-5476236722708636072?l=coolboykl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Khoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16227403501629231154noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11158661.post-41584391756613570312008-08-14T14:22:00.013+08:002011-08-10T11:51:42.512+08:00<p>Wow, it's been a long time since I post "<b>Google Please hire m</b>e" series, well, for fans that follow this series (ahem..as if I got many fans that read my blog, Haha), so sorry for the delay <br /></p>Anyway, my 6th idea to Google is a Mobile match maker application for lonely hearts. The application utilizing Mobile Phone with 3G and GPS service, such as Google Android phone. Although there are many variance of mobile match making application out there, there are many cool features of my application. Here how the application should work: <br /><ul> <br /><li>First of all, user needs to register themselves via Google love matching website (i.e glove.google.com), entering their personal's detail such as name, age, birthday, astrology sign, preferences, language, hobbies, and etc. </li> <br /><li>User can also choose to upload their picture, and enter criteria of their preferred partner (race, age range, hobbies, and etc)</li> <br /><li>Once register, user proceed to download the mobile match making application from the web site. </li> <br /><li>Once the application is activated, and sign on, user is presented a real time love chart, shown below: <br /></li></ul> <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V6xj_a3bH1c/SKPyk3oRZsI/AAAAAAAAAHU/g8QVeYyw4cw/s1600-h/googleidea1.png"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5234293907156723394" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; cursor: pointer; text-align: center; width: 358px; height: 369px;" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V6xj_a3bH1c/SKPyk3oRZsI/AAAAAAAAAHU/g8QVeYyw4cw/s400/googleidea1.png" border="0" /></a> <br /><ul><li>Heart shapes represent love match found from user existing location. The three circles here help user to visualize on how far/near between each love match and the user.

For example, if Mr A match with Ms D, the app could show A knows B from Primary School, B is friend of C, and C working together with D at company XYZ. <br /> <br /> <br />Please note that, to find a closer match, user do needs to informs the server where is he/she, so that the server is able to find one's soul mate that is located near to his/her current location. If the application detected that there is no GPS Signal, it will use following channels to find user's location, example: <br /> <br />a) Mobile Cell tower - Use of mobile cell tower to find user's location. <br />b) Wifi access points. <br />c) Base on the trail of the movement (GPS) of the person until he goes indoor. <br />d) if all above fail, the app will ask user's to enter his/her location (e.g Sungai Wang, Mid Valley) and find closer match.. <br /> <br />On top of that, We partner with other big shopping centers to further promote this mobile application, i.e special discount is given for "Love is in the air" user, each shopping mall could have a giant display on their info desk, or main entrance showing real time info how many "Love is in the air" user is in their shopping center, each with interesting statistics, for example- <br /> <br />- There are total of 10 5-stars most wanted bachelor in this building, and 15 5-stars single lady in the building. <br />- There are total 10 pair of people are 90% match with each other, are u one of them? quickly find your match now, and claim (together with your potential partner) your free movie tickets in next 30 minutes here.. <br /> <br />I believe with the right marketing and development, this will be killer application. <br /></span>So, that's it, what do u think? do share me your thoughts on the comments page, stay tune for my next idea. <br /> <br />PS: As always, if anyone find these ideas interesting and wants to further build up those ideas, do drop me an email. <br /> <br />Cheers <br /> <br />One World One Dream<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11158661-4158439175661357031?l=coolboykl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Khoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16227403501629231154noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11158661.post-1950170406714936382008-08-06T09:28:00.002+08:002008-08-06T09:44:38.195+08:00Please change your email subject before replying a email<br /><br />I feel annoy when receiving a reply email, where the email content are not related with the email subject.

For reader who unfamiliar with JPa, what I means is, to persist and "JPA" manage a boolean field, JPA expect the database data type to be integer, where value of "1" means true, and value of "0" means false.<br /><br />You got to be joking, right? Every "<span style="font-weight: bold;">real life</span>" programmer knows that, there are many existing database use different combination of char or string on a table boolean field, such as "True/False", "T/F", "Yes/No", "Y/N", "-1/0", and etc. Thus, as a "real life" programmer, I kind expect the JPA should allows me specific a boolean field via Annotation, such as example below:<br /><code><br />@booleanField(trueValue="Yes", falseValue="No")<br />private Boolean enabled;<br /></code><br />And to my surprise, the answer is nope!!!..So far only Hibernate JPA provider provide data type conversation. Daniel Pfeifer, have explain the problem in details, he also discuss some solutions to work around this stupid limitation at his blog, title "<a href="http://www.mindbug.org/2008/03/type-conversion-with-jpa.html">T</a><a href="http://www.mindbug.org/2008/03/type-conversion-with-jpa.html">ype Conversation with JPA</a>", do check it out.<br /><br />Daniel's "manual mapping" idea, do solve the limitation. However, maybe it's just me, I just don't like the idea to temporary change a <span style="font-weight: bold;">Boolean </span>field to map with database data type (either char, string) in order to resolve the limitation, even we make the field private, this is just me. And I am stubborn, and old . :-)<br /><br />Anywhere, after some research (Also, a good excuse to my manager to research how difficult to come out our own custom Java 5 annotation with custom Java APT process factory), I come out our own compile time annotation, called <span style="font-weight: bold;">@BooleanMagic</span> with our own <span><span style="font-weight: bold;">BooleanMagicProcessorFactory</span>, </span> which I hope, shall temporary resolve the problem.<br /><br />@BooleanMagic comprise of three attributes:<br /><ul><li>trueValue, specified the table boolean field true value here, such as "True", "T", "Yes"<br /></li><li>falseValue, specified the table boolean field false value here, such as "False", "F","N" </li><li>columnName, tableColumn name;</li></ul>Also please note that BooleanMagicProcessorFactory mandate any field annotated with @BooleanMagic annotation, must either annotated with @Transient annotation or with modifier transient.<br /><br />Thus, as an example, assuming we have a boolean field called "enabled", which map to table "ENABLED" field, with boolean value of "True"/"false", we will specified our VO as below:<br /><span><pre><br />@Entity<br />public class SomeVO {<br />@Id<br />Integer id;<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> @BooleanMagic(trueValue="True", falseValue="false", columnName="ENABLED")</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">private transient Boolean enabled;</span><br /><br />public Boolean isEnabled() {<br /> return enabled;<br />}<br /><br />public void setEnabled(Boolean enabled) {<br /> this.enabled = enabled;<br />}<br />}<br /></pre><p>Using <span style="font-weight: bold;">Java "APT" tool with JPABooleanMagicConverter factory</span>, code above will be converted to:</p><pre><br />@Entity<br />public class SomeVO {<br />@Id<br />Integer id;<br /><br />private transient Boolean enabled;<br />//---<br />//--- Lines below are generated by JBPCC BooleanMagicConvertor PROCESSOR<br />//--- START :<br /><br />@Column(name="ENABLED")<br />private String magicBooleanEnabled;<br /><br />public Boolean isEnabled() {<br />return this.magicBooleanEnabled.equals("True") ? Boolean.TRUE : Boolean.FALSE;<br />}<br /><br />public Boolean getEnabled() {<br />return this.magicBooleanEnabled.equals("True") ? Boolean.TRUE : Boolean.FALSE;<br />}<br /><br />public void setEnabled(Boolean trueFlag) {<br /> this.magicBooleanEnabled = trueFlag ? "True" : "false";<br />}<br /><br />//--- END<br />//--- GENERATED BY JBPCC BooleanMagicConvertor PROCESSOR<br />}<br /></pre><br /><br />Now, isn't that cool (haha, sorry, I am bit biased here). Btw, BooleanMagicConvertor is portable across JPA protable, and IMHO, this is a <span style="font-weight: bold;">better interim</span> solution till JPA make data conversation standard.<br /><br />I decided to contribute my BooleanMagicConverter back to open source community, it's currently park under my open source project Java Batch Process Control Center, at <a href="http://code.google.com/p/jbpcc">http://code.google.com/p/jbpcc</a>, you could either build from the source, or get the "BooleanMagicProcessorFactory.jar" from <a href="http://code.google.com/p/jbpcc/downloads/list">here</a>.<br /><br />Here an example of how to use the BooleanMagicConvertor using Ant 1.7 apt tasks, assuming all your entity class is declare at ${src.dir}/org/abc/domain/model directory, and you wants to output all generated call to ${basedir}/target directory<br /><pre> <span class="ST0">&lt;target</span> <span class="ST1">name</span><span class="ST1">=</span><span class="ST2">"preProcessJPABoolean"</span> <span class="ST1">depends</span><span class="ST1">=</span><span class="ST2">"buildJPABoolenProcessorFactory"</span><span class="ST0">&gt;</span><br /> <span class="ST0">&lt;apt</span> <span class="ST1">srcdir</span><span class="ST1">=</span><span class="ST2">"${src.dir}/org/abc/domain/model</span><span class="ST2">"</span><br /> <span class="ST1">destdir</span><span class="ST1">=</span><span class="ST2">"${build.classes.dir}"</span><br /> <span class="ST1">classpath</span><span class="ST1">=</span><span class="ST2">"./dist/BooleanMagicProcessorFactory.jar:./lib/</span><span class="ST2">Model_Dependent_thirdparty.jar"</span><br /> <span class="ST1">debug</span><span class="ST1">=</span><span class="ST2">"on"</span><br /> <span class="ST1">compile</span><span class="ST1">=</span><span class="ST2">"false"</span><br /> <span class="ST1">factory</span><span class="ST1">=</span><span class="ST2">"o</span><span class="ST2">rg.jbpcc.util.jpa.BooleanMagicProcessorFactory"</span><br /> <span class="ST1">preprocessdir</span><span class="ST1">=</span><span class="ST2">"${basedir}/target"</span><span class="ST0">&gt;</span><br /> <span class="ST0">&lt;/apt</span><span class="ST0">&gt;</span><br /><span class="ST0">&lt;/target</span><span class="ST0">&gt;</span></pre><br /><p> That's all, do share me your thoughts and comments, cheers!<br /></p></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11158661-4349637518355663293?l=coolboykl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Khoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16227403501629231154noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11158661.post-25737276508250260672008-03-27T16:16:00.007+08:002008-03-29T21:44:55.329+08:00<a href="http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/khoo.james/JBPCC/photo#5182315928056023506"><img src="http://lh5.google.co.uk/khoo.james/R-tI4SWgydI/AAAAAAAAADg/oiGDNo0JJJM/s800/jbpccDesign.png" /></a><br /><br />I decided to start another open source project name <span style="font-weight: bold;">Java Batch Process Control Center (JBPCC)</span>.

Well, the project still hosted at sourceforge, we just not going to maintain the project any more. Reason being, I am tired of suduko already, and there are far too many variance of suduko open source project exists. Sorry!<br /><br />Anywhere, the idea of Java Batch Process Control Center is somehow continue from my original idea on "<a href="http://coolboykl.blogspot.com/2007/11/automatic-remote-logging-management-via.html">Automatic Remote Logging Management via JMX</a>". by using Java 5 instrument API, developer able to "wrap" any Java base process, and automatically offer JMX monitoring and remote logging management functionalities, and the idea of <a href="http://code.google.com/p/jbpcc/">JBPCC</a>, is to deliver end user an AJAX web application to manage, monitor and schedule any those "wrap" processes.<br /><br />Proposed Features: <ul><li>An in-memory module for remote servers to register, execute, and manage batch processes. </li><li>Time-based and duration-based scheduling of any configured or registered batch process for execution. </li><li>Monitoring currently running processes, including resources used and logs. </li><li>Server management for configuration of servers that hold remote batch processes. </li><li>A simple rights-based user management module. </li></ul><br />Our project is hosted at <a href="http://code.google.com/p/jbpcc">http://code.google.com/p/jbpcc</a> , Please note that, as this is still a fairly new project, there isn't much user could download from our project repository.

This 'Resort' which we discovered over the Internet looked just like what we are looking for ... a cheap and idyllic place to spend the holiday. This place is in a natural setting, offers only basic amenities and is a 2 hours drive from Kuala Lumpur. At first, I was quite skeptical about staying in a small hut constructed by Orang Asli (local aborigine people) in the deep jungle. Questions such as will there be mosquitoes? Is it safe to sleep in a hut without door and lock? Will I feel too hot since there is no attached air-con? and I was worried that I actually have to share a toilet with others !!!!. (Usual typical City Boy who's been spoiled by 3 - 5 stars hotel).<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Anyway, all worries was gone once we reached the front entrance of Adeline's Rest House.

Once download, I follows the <span style="font-weight: bold;">documented instruction</span> to install GlassFish, i.e<br />-> java -Xmx256m -jar "downloaded.jar"<br />-> cd glassfish<br />-> chmod -R +x lib/ant/bin<br />-> lib/ant/bin/ant -f setup.xml<br /><br />d) Once setup, I follows the <a href="https://glassfish.dev.java.net/downloads/quickstart/index.html">quick start guide</a> to start the application server, i.e.<br />->Add the install-dir/bin directory as PATH env variable<br />-> Start the server "asadmin start-domain domain1"<br /><br />e) To verify, I open my browser, and points the URL to http://localhost:8080, which I presented a welcome page, and messages stated my server is up and running running..BTW, port 8080 is default installation port, and u could change the default port by editing the setup.xml<br /><br />f) To manage the server, I point my browser at http://localhost:4848 to access GlassFish admin console, I entered my given admin user id and password (ie admin, password, adminadmin) to login to the console. I presented a very nice GUI to manage my server, and deploy my application (WAR, EAR, and etc).<br /><br />g) To deploy one of my application, I click "Deploy web application(.war)", select my war file, and click deploy, and just like that, my application is up and running..<br /><br />That's it, the whole process takes less then 20 minutes (depends on how fast ur internet connection is to download the installation jar), and all the steps above are well documented at GlassFish's installation and quick start guide. I admit the installation process is "out of norm" and could be improve, but to go to the extends and claim it is installation from hell is bit too extreme, isn't?<br /><br />Peace!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11158661-4445353880283076086?l=coolboykl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Khoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16227403501629231154noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11158661.post-64704705410123621772007-11-19T21:30:00.000+08:002007-11-19T21:31:41.027+08:00<p style="visibility:visible;"><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://widget-9e.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" height="320" width="426" style="width:426px;height:320px"><param name="movie" value="http://widget-9e.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="scale" value="noscale" /><param name="salign" value="l" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent"/> <param name="flashvars" value="cy=ms&il=1&channel=792633534418359454&site=widget-9e.slide.com"/></object><p><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&ad=0&id=792633534418359454&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-9e.slide.com/p1/792633534418359454/ms_t016_v000_a000_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&ad=0&id=792633534418359454&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-9e.slide.com/p2/792633534418359454/ms_t016_v000_a000_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></p></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11158661-6470470541012362177?l=coolboykl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Khoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16227403501629231154noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11158661.post-35560289538844032342007-11-19T21:16:00.000+08:002007-11-19T21:24:56.440+08:00Do u?

The logging agent will offer the following:<br /></p> <ul><li>Abilities to change log level (debug, info, warning, error) on any configured logger dynamically without restart.<br /></li><li>Abilities to locate any configured log output files.</li><li>Abilities to browse (either head, or tail) any configured log files.</li></ul>Base on requirements above, I come out JMXMBean interface below:<br

Till now, our police still trying their very best to looks for the monster. Almost every month, there always a news about a girl being kidnapped, rapped, or worst being killed. I am shocked when and where the accident happen, it happen while the victims taking late bus home, jogging early morning at public park, waiting to be pick up by friend, or taking car from shopping mall car park, and normal routine u and me are doing every day. I feels sick and upset when reading this kind of news.. What is going wrong with our world? what have happen to our soul? I am constantly thinking how technology could help to prevent his kind of situation, and this is how I come out the idea of SMS protect me service.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Here how it work.</p> <ol><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">First, user needs to register themselves via a portal, given their contact detail, and group of 5 emergency contact numbers (User relative and friend).</p> </li><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Upon registration, user are given a pair of PIN number, one number is use for protect me event registration (see below), one PIN number is use for emergency.</p> </li><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">When user feels unsafe at any place at any time, he/she could register a protect me event via SMS, with the format of [user pin] [event's detail] [event duration]. Here are few examples:</p> <ul><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I waiting my friend to pick me up at office building A, and my pin code is “1234”, I will key in “1234, waiting friend at Office Bulding A, Gate 2, 20 minutes”</p></li><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I am taking a cab back home at late night, “1234, taking cab number WEB1023 home, 30 minutes”</p></li><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I am going to take my car from public car park, “1234, taking my car at Shopping Mall Apple, car park at floor B2, bay 92, 10 minutes”</p> </li></ul></li><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">User send in the protect me event to a local service center number, system will registered the event</p> </li><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">When event expired, system will sends user confirmation SMS to end the protect me event</p> </li><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">To reply, user have to key in their pin number, follow by “yes” to end the protect me event, or “extend 10 minutes” to extend the event.</p> </li><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">If system didn't received user's confirmation after certain retry, system will send alert SMS message to his/her configured emergency contact numbers, if user's Telco provider provide Location base services, system will find user location, and alert his/her friend about user location.</p> </li><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The emergency number is use when user are in danger, thus is in short and easy to send, user are just require to key in the emergency pin number, with any detail if needed, and send to the local service center number, system will straight away notify user friend and family.</p> </li><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The emergency number is also useful when user force to terminate a protect me SMS event, thus, instead of using user given pin to end the event, user could always use their emergency pin to indicate they are in real danger.</p> </li></ol> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Some possible options on extending the services</p> <ul><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Integrate with local police patrolling system.</p> </li><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Partner with insurance company, user are charge per protect me SMS event, in case on any unwanted incident happen, user are insured.</p></li></ul><ul><li>Integrate with Phone GPS syetem.<br /></li></ul>So, what do u think? do share me your thoughts on the comments page, stay tune for my next idea.<br /><br />PS: As always, if anyone (perhaps Yahoo Inc.) find these ideas interesting and wants to further build up those ideas, do drop me an email.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11158661-2651545902367659167?l=coolboykl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Khoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16227403501629231154noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11158661.post-60399115240879997912007-10-03T10:17:00.001+08:002007-10-05T08:57:43.073+08:00I just discovered that many of my team members like to communicate with each other over MSN, even they just sit beside with others!<br />Out of curiosity, I pull one of them in my office, and ask them why, and here are their "official" reasons:<br />a) Keep it low - They don't wants to bother other people, and prefer quiet conversation.<br />b) Audit log - They could record the conversation<br />c) Is the "in" things, and I belong to older generations..<br /><br />Wow, the third point actually hurt me..but I tend to not agree with the first two points.<br />First, I believe verbal communication is far more effective than typing words in the chat windows, one can't simply shows his/her emotion or body languages over MSN (Although some will argue of using Smiley icons is as effective as our body language). And two, we are team mates, why we like to record our conversation? To protect ourself?<br /><br />I am lost here, can't imagine what will happen 5-10 years later? Do I have to SMS my Son for dinner, even he is just upstairs playing computer game?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11158661-6039911524087999791?l=coolboykl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Khoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16227403501629231154noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11158661.post-46206100500909444532007-10-01T08:26:00.000+08:002007-10-05T08:30:10.597+08:00My post about <a href="http://coolboykl.blogspot.com/2007/09/ideas-to-google-part-iii-google-carpool.html">Car Pool idea</a> created a lot of heated discussion. Couple of my friends commented that although, in general, they like my idea. they do concern about security, question like "what if car pool partner is a crazy person, or a rapist", or "how could I trust my Car Pool Partner if we never meet before", and etc.<br /><br />This has strike me a lot of thinking, and wonder what's happening to our world? <br />I still remember when I was young, I always go out and play with my neighbor's kid for hours before dinner time, and most of time, out of our parent's vision. We always go back on time for dinner, and Mom/Dad seldom question us where we went, how's our school, as long as we finished our homework before bed time.<br /><br />I remember back then, where there 's not Astro (Our Boardband TV provider), we always pass our rental Hong Kong TV series video tape to each other, and returned our tape just before the due date. My mom always exchanges food with my neighbor, and we always "pijam" (i.e borrow) things from each other. When there is new people move into our area, we always go and help, and that always ends with a welcome tea party.<br /><br />I can't recall there is many crimes back then as compare today. Now, kids always closely monitor by their parent. I hardly know my neighbor, and people in general, just don't open their heart easily as compare to the pass. What's has change?<br /><br />It's is due to all the media (TV, news paper, radio, internet) like to cover bad news then good news? Or people in generally poorer as compare to past, and hence the increase of crime rate?<br /><br />I have no idea...could anyone enlighten me?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11158661-4620610050090944453?l=coolboykl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Khoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16227403501629231154noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11158661.post-73201188838762951172007-09-25T08:58:00.000+08:002007-09-27T15:43:50.182+08:00This is the third part of my series of articles published with the intention of "selling" my ideas to Google and subsequently to be recruited by Google. By the way did anyone from Google notice my blog .... ?<br /><br />My third idea is the Google CarPool Portal, my contribution to make our earth greener. I admit this idea is not new as there already many CarPool portals on the web. I visited some of portals, and have yet to come across a portal that I consider a successful one. Most of portals I visited have been inactive for a long time, and for those still consider active, I only see an average one or two posts of interested looking for carpool partner per week. In my opinions, some of the reasons why such portals fail. <br /><br />1) Lack of big marketing push - Success of this kind of portal is pretty much depends on users participation, the more user participate, the better. Most of the portals I visited are run by personal or community, and usually only have limited funds for Marketing. <br /><br />2) Poor Location Selection - Most of CarPool portal offers only limited origin/destination selection, and often limited to zip code selection, which in my opinion, it's not comprehensive and customizable enough. <br /><br />3) Poor user interface - Due to budget problem, most portal offer very basic UI for user to locate CarPool Partner. <br /><br />4) Lack of incentive to do so, let's admit that, people are motivated when awarded by something. <br /><br /> <br />So how can Google help? <br />Well, if Google do roll out a CarPool Portal, we already iron out our first problem, and if Google adopt <a href="http://coolboykl.blogspot.com/2007/09/ideas-to-google-part-ii-save-our-mother.html">my second idea</a>, we solve our fourth problems. Thus, we only needs to deliver a fairly easy to use CarPool Portal to solve problems 2 and 3. <br /><br />Here's my vision of Google CarPool Portal:<br />1. Upon login to Google CarPool Portal, user could post one or many CarPool adv, specifying travel origin, and destination using Google Earth/Google Map, where user could specify the location up to street address, or select buildings (such as office building) from Google Earth/Map. User could also entered their prefer travel time slot (e.g From 7-7.30am), and repeat of the travel (e.g Everyday excepts Weekends, once only).<br /><br />2. Google will attempt to find closer match per CarPool adv, and will present user a list of adv that matches user's CarPool criteria. User could sort the list by origin, destination and travel time slot. User will get notify via Gmail on every new match found when they are not online.<br /><br />3. While browsing the CarPool match list, if the match adv owner is online, user could chat (via Google Chat) to the owner to seal the deal. Else, user will have to send a private message to the adv owner, and schedule a time to discuss the CarPool adv<br /><br />4. User and adv owner identity are protected throughout the conversation. The only way for user to communicate with adv owner is via private messages, and online chat from CarPool portal. Is up to the user, and adv owner when is best time to reveal their identity.<br /><br />5. Once both parties agree to seal to deal, the adv will close. User and adv owner have the option to claim Google Earth points from the Car portal. Also, for security reason, user could opt on telling the portal when the CarPool going to start, who is driving, the Car Plate number, identity of both parties. This is to protect user in case of any unwanted accidents.<br /><br />6. There is a forum for users to post FAQ, success stories, experiences, and etc.<br /><br />7. There is also a running counter from Google CarPool Portal main page showing how many Carpools adv being seals, how many petrol has been save, and most importantly, how many CO2 is save from emitted to the air.<br /><br />So, what do u think? do share me your thoughts on the comments page, stay tune for my next idea.<br /><br />PS: As always, if anyone (perhaps Yahoo Inc.) find these ideas interesting and wants to further build up those ideas, do drop me an email.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11158661-7320118883876295117?l=coolboykl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Khoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16227403501629231154noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11158661.post-26453187093603275122007-09-21T09:47:00.000+08:002007-09-27T12:09:07.930+08:00I just realized that a lot of people are still not aware that we have brought back a new pug call Mimi few weeks ago.

We can't deny that our environment has change dynamically in past few years, the temperature is increasingly hotter each year, CO2 is rising, and there is more frequent floods, typhoons and thunder storms almost everywhere. Seriously, if we don't do anything now, things will get worst, and our children may be victims to this global warming phenonmenal. We need to do something and should Google take the initiative to step in to help and create an awareness (I think they should ....)? <br /> <br />Here I would like to introduce <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Google Earth Points...</span> <br /> <br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">FAQ <br />1. What is Google Earth Points <br /></span>Google Earth Points is a points reward system for individual who have take extra effort and making our earth greener, and help slowing down Global Warming effect, thus everyone has better place to live. <br /> <br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">2. What can one do with Google Earth Points <br /></span>Well, a lot, Google earth points can be use to redeem any non free Google services, for example, we could redeem 100,000 Google Earth Points per 100 MB Gmail storage, or redeem 10,000 points to download a mobile application from Google partner, or increase photos upload limit, and etc. <br /> <br /> <br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">3. How can one earn Google Earth Points <br /></span>I have a lot of ideas how one can earn Google earth points but in general it could break down to the following categories: <br /> <br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-STYLE: italic">By Personal Pledge</span> <br />One will pledge how he/she is going to help to save our mother earth on Google Earth Portal (by submitting a youtube video), and the pledge must be verifiable by third party with upload video showings the promise be carry out. Google Earth Portal then will calculate Google earth points base on the pledge, and award points accordingly. <br /> <br />Here are some of the example: <br />-One could pledge to cycle to work at least one day a week to his office. His office is about 10KM away from his home, thus in a way, thus save X amount of CO2 emitted to the air, and Google Earth Points is the awarded base on X amount of CO2 emitted he save per week <br /> <br />-One family could pledge they will plants 4 trees at their backyard, now 4 trees will recycle X amount of CO2, and thus, they will get certain number of Google Earth Points. <br /> <br />-One lady pledge she will carpool with her friend. <br /> <br /> <br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-STYLE: italic">By summiting cool ideas on saving Earth resources to Google Earth Portal <br /></span>Anyone could summit cool ideas on how we could save our limited earth resources like how our electric, water, petrol usages to Google Earth Portal, a monthly competition will be carried out to all of us to vote the most coolest idea, and Google Earth Points will then be awarded base on the ranking. <br /> <br /> <br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-STYLE: italic">From Consumer Product Vendor</span> <br />Google could partner with any Consumer product vendor that produce "Greener" product (which needs to certify by some environmental control body, like organic vegetables, non chemical detergent, energy saver computer, and etc), and to give away a number Google Earth points when we purchase those product. <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Why Google Earth Points <br /></span><span id="desc_content_AD3A4BE9">Most of time, average people (me included) do aware the environmental issue, and we do sometime put in our effort on making this earth a better place to live, but there is still more we could do.. <br /> <br />For example, in my previous company, I know 3 of my colleague are staying nearby, but it never come to our mind of car pooling, even though the petrol price is expansive that time. I never planted a single tree in my life, I take my car out for breakfast even is just 5 minutes walk from where I stay.. <br /> <br />Thus, with Google earth points, I am hoping this service will start cultivate people habit of doing their part on saving our mother earth.. including myself, as people love accumulate points, and get awarded, isn't it. </span> <br /> <br /> <br />So, what do u think? do share me your thoughts on the comments page, stay tune for my next idea <br /> <br />PS: If anyone (perhaps Yahoo Inc.) finds these ideas interesting and wants to further build up those ideas, do drop me an email. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"></span> <br /></span> <br /> <br /> <br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"></span> <br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11158661-1861010213351787900?l=coolboykl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Khoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16227403501629231154noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11158661.post-29305101631830719412007-09-05T09:57:00.000+08:002007-09-25T09:25:00.613+08:00<div align="justify">I always wanted to work at Google so that I can bring my dog to work, enjoy yummy yummy meals and work with all the cool people at Google.

Web portal will automatically convert to address book data format</div></li><li><div align="justify">Integrated with Gmail, user could send SMS to his/her contact using gmail interface.</div></li></ol><div align="justify"><br />That's all for now. Stay tune for my next crazy idea.<br /><br />PS: If anyone finds this interesting and wants to further build up those ideas, do drop me an email.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11158661-2930510163183071941?l=coolboykl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Khoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16227403501629231154noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11158661.post-68049653290576512672007-07-04T20:55:00.000+08:002007-09-24T11:28:40.512+08:00<div align="justify">My beloved little hero <a href="http://pugdiary.blogspot.com/">Donu</a>t went to Heaven 0n 3rd July 2007.

I believe:</span> <span style="font-family:arial;"><br />a) A integration/functional testing code will always deliver more test coverage then unit testing code.<br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;">b) Integration testing code allows us to capture our program error as earlier as possible, and avoid “big bang” integration error at the end. </span></span><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Thus, I always have “heat and interesting” discussion with some developers where they always believe:<br />a) Achieve high percentage of unit testing code coverage is very important<br />b) unit testing code must be “unit testable”, all dependency classes/resources should be “mocked”, even sometime is so so difficult to mock such objects.<br />c) if our code is not testable, that must be something wrong with our design. We have to change our code to make it testable. Thus making our class final, or our class not implementing an interface, or using static methods are all bad!. </span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Don't get me wrong, I am not 100% against points above, and I understand important of unit testing. But believe the unit testing code we deliver must return good “Return of Investment” (ROI). Investment here mean our effort of delivering/maintaining the unit testing code. A good ROI unit testing code have the following characteristic:<br />a) It use “black box” approach , where we pass parameters to a method, test the method and we verified the return value against expected result, we should not care how's the methods executed, and what underlying resources being called.<br />b) The testing code should be easily promoted to functional/integration testing code, why reinvent the wheel?<br />c) The testing code must drafted base on agree use case, and tight back to your application's features. Thus, using HR application as an example, to unit test you annual leave application is always approved by your manager produce good ROI value. but to unit test your database connection pooling utilities, or utilities to read properties files or parsing a fake XML file does not produce good ROI value. </span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;">To illustrate what I mean by good ROI unit testing code, consider the following examples: </span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Public class OrderManager {<br />public boolean proceedOrder(OrderVO anOrder) {<br /> return ( inventoryManager.hasStock(anOrder) &amp;&amp;<br /> accountManager.customerGoodCreadit(anOrder.getCustomer()) &amp;&amp;<br /> shipmentManager.shipmentDateOK(anOder.getPreferShipmentDate()<br /> );</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;"> }</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;">To unit test proceedOrder() methods using Mock:</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;">1. First, create InventoryManager, accountManager, and shipmentManager mocks</span></p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-family:arial;">2. Instruct our mock framework on mock methods that called, and for each mock methods call, we instruct expected return value.</span> <span style="font-family:arial;"><br />3. And finally, we test return value with our expected result, and ensure mock methods being called. </span></span><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Does the above code give us good ROI? IMHO, it does not...<br /></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;">a) It's breaking the black box testing approach, we are telling our mock framework steps by steps what mock methods will be call, and specifically ask them to return the value we set, and test method proceedOrder() return value with our expected result, which we already know what it will return in the first hand.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;">What happen if we wants to change the implementation, do we have to change our testing code as well.<br /></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;">b) It does not bring any business value...<br /></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;">A ROI testing code for the above use case:<br />1. Set a InventoryManager product (say product “A”) quantities to a specific amount (say 50)</span></p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-family:arial;">2. test the proceedOrder() by placing product A with various quantities</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">3. Verify the result against expectedResult</span></span><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;">So, to conclude, if a unit testing code does not produce good ROI, do spend more time on delivering functional/integration testing code, and delivering good "ROI" usable code coverage<br /></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Apply my points to Automobile industries, we will not hear an engineer that create mock of car tires, or create a mock for road surface to test a car braking system, he/she will actually “integrate” the braking system with a set of tires (make by different rubbers), and conduct braking test on various surface (maybe on a rolling board with different surfaces)<br /></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Share me your thoughts... </span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11158661-2164270914583670894?l=coolboykl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Khoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16227403501629231154noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11158661.post-12179838615535048502007-04-02T19:42:00.000+08:002007-09-24T11:34:18.276+08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://media.1up.com/media?id=1278121"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 102px; height: 136px;" src="http://media.1up.com/media?id=1278121" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Please get the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion...<br /><br />Read the review <a href="http://www.1up.com/do/reviewPage?cId=3158125&sec=REVIEWS">here</a> and <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/rpg/theelderscrollsivoblivion/index.html?tag=topten;all;title;2">here</a><br /><br />Cheers<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11158661-1217983861553504850?l=coolboykl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Khoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16227403501629231154noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11158661.post-91976354756055630842007-02-27T19:50:00.000+08:002007-10-17T08:50:41.507+08:00If your development project get bigger, and have incorporated thousands of test cases, u may find that unit testing target getting slower and slower. It may come to a point your developers start to ignore test cases, or worst, don't write any test cases at all, as it will slow down build process.<br /><br />Now, before u look into your unit testing code to improve the performance, why don't have a check on your Ant Junit Target (I discovered this accidentally yesterday, as I am frustrated by the slow build process). If u have setup ur Ant to fork a new JVM for unit testing target, by default, Ant will fork a new VM per Test Class, which is slow, and expansive (imagine forking 1000+ jvm for your project). To correct this, we just needs to set correct forkmode="perBatch".<br />i.e<br />junit fork="true" forkmode="perBatch"<br /><br />My test result, before forkmode="perBatch", my test process take ~= 16 minutes<br />after, my test process take < 2 minutes<br /><br />Cheers, and happy coding<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11158661-9197635475605563084?l=coolboykl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Khoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16227403501629231154noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11158661.post-63021227142768253982007-02-12T12:08:00.000+08:002007-10-17T08:50:41.508+08:00<style type="text/css"><!-- pre { color: #000000; font-size: normal; font-family: Monospaced; background-color: #aec8ec; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0.5em; padding-left: 0.5em; padding-right: 0.5em; line-height: 1.3em; border-color: #778dcf; border-width: 0px 0px 0px 1.0em; border-style: none none none solid; } --></style><br /><br />The RemoteControl class needs to hold list of supported commands, and needs to delegate request to respective command class base on the pass in command string.

To roll out new Command, developer just needs to<br />1. declare the new command type, and it's command string at the CommandType enum<br />2. implements the command, and<br />3. inject new command via Spring Configuration.<br /><br /><br />Here are remoteControlService class to test the remoteControl<br /><br /><pre><span class="highlight-match-brace"> 1</span> <span

The framework help a lot, as we don't have to write lengthly, repetitive boring code, most application code are wire via Spring XML configuration, the framework also make our code cleaner, as it provide out of box AOP engine, developer could focus on implementing module core function, and “AOPing” other programming aspects such as transaction control, logging, security, and etc when require. <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Thus, to say a big thank u on providing such great framework, and contribute back to the communities, starting from today, I will use this blog to share my experience, tips, and journal of using Spring here. Most of the write up will assume u have some basic idea of using Spring (Just do a google search on Spring tutorial). </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">So, my very first 2007 technical topic is “Implementing Command Design Pattern using Spring”. I will use the remote control example from very popular design pattern book, <a href="http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/hfdesignpat/">“Head First Design Patterns” from OREILLY.</a><br /></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">The original requirement of the remote control are<br /></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">1 . The remote control will have multiple buttons,<br />2. Each button could be program to turn on/off a household device.<br /></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">I change the requirement a little, the remote control will not have any buttons, but:</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">1. It will accept command as a string from a console<br />2. Each device's command will have unique command String, such as<br /></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">The very first thing we need to do is to roll out the command interface<br /></p><br /><pre><span class="highlight-match-brace">1</span> <span class="java-keywords">package</span> <span class="java-identifier">blog</span><span class="highlight-match-brace">.</span><span class="java-identifier">coolboy</span><span class="highlight-match-brace">.</span><span class="java-identifier">springexample</span><span class="highlight-match-brace">.</span><span class="java-identifier">cp</span><span class="highlight-match-brace">.</span><span class="java-identifier">command</span><span class="highlight-match-brace">;</span><br /><span class="highlight-match-brace">2</span><br /><span class="highlight-match-brace">3</span> <span class="java-keywords">public</span> <span class="java-keywords">interface</span> <span class="java-identifier">Command</span> <span class="highlight-match-brace">{</span><br /><span class="highlight-match-brace">4</span> <span class="java-keywords">public</span> <span class="java-identifier">CommandType</span> <span class="java-layer-method">getCommandType</span><span class="highlight-match-brace">(</span><span class="highlight-match-brace">)</span><span class="highlight-match-brace">;</span><br /><span class="highlight-match-brace">5</span> <span class="java-keywords">public</span> <span class="java-keywords">void</span> <span class="java-layer-method">execute</span><span class="highlight-match-brace">(</span><span class="highlight-match-brace">)</span><span class="highlight-match-brace">;</span><br /><span class="highlight-match-brace">6</span> <span class="highlight-match-brace">}</span></pre><p></p><br />Next, we needs to define an enum to hold all possible supported CommandType, each CommandType holds it's command string, which is unique.

a long time since my last update, anywhere..<br />Listed below are few TV series that I am really enjoyed:<br /><br />1. Heroes (From ABC network) - A series about a group of people all over the world on discovering their special power (e.g. reading people mind, stopping the time, paint the future, and others), and how the discovering process affect the surrounding world, This series is far more better then the "Lost" in terms of character building, plot, and the story. Highly recommended.<br /><br />2. Justice - "CSI + LA Law", and the formula works..<br /><br />3. House - Still the best TV series on Medical/Hospital, like the character House, very cool and cruel.. <br /><br />and finally<br /><br />4. Desperate House Wives, yeh yeh, call me sissy if u like, but I still like the series...So what..<br /><br /><br />So, whcih shows u will recommends?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11158661-116190963525850350?l=coolboykl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Khoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16227403501629231154noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11158661.post-1150680445400512412006-06-19T09:21:00.000+08:002007-09-24T11:28:40.512+08:00<br><div style="text-align: justify;">To all Donut's Fans:<br /><br />After months of preparation, we finally set up a blog called <a href="http://pugdiary.blogspot.com">http://pugdiary.blogspot.com</a>, a blog just for Donut!

Out of curiosity and ahem .... just to feel young again, I purposely dropped by a local NDS group gathering at KLCC yesterday and to check out what's all the hype about NDS wireless game. The NDS group gathers once a month in various locations in KL city.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">At the gathering, all the members are younger than me. In fact, very much younger. I try to be cool and pretend to understand the latest “X/Y” gen language but felt so so lost.

I must play at least one Sudoku puzzle a day or else I feel that something is missing from me. And it's a very good brain exercise for everyone, is highly recommended for anyone who's older then 30+ and people will start calling u "uncle", like me :-(<br /><br />I love the game so much that I was actually thinking of putting one Sudoku puzzle as part of the interview questions for a Java developer position which I'm hiring for my present Company. I think that if one can't even solve a simple Sudoku puzzle within a given time frame, their problem solving skill is pretty much limited. Somehow, my Manager rejected this idea. </div><div align="justify"><br />My "Geek" friend <a href="http://blogs.sun.com/paulho">Paul Ho</a> and I had several interesting discussions about the game ... about algorithms on generating a unique Sudoku, what is the best program logic to solve a given puzzle ... so on. As a 120% "geek" than me and a very good Java developer, Paul was able to come out with a <a href="http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/paulho?entry=creating_sudoku_puzzle_a_brain">Java base Sudoku game</a> under 4K and completed within 1 week time frame. Well done Paul! Bravo !<br /><br />Paul 4K Sudoku game (<a href="http://javaunlimited.net/games/view.php?id=94">download from here</a>) actually triggered me to start my very first open source project called "<a href="http://sudokusudoku.sourceforge.net/index.html">Project all about Sudoku</a>" hosted at sourceforge.com. The aim of this project is to provide a platform (A Java Swing Application) for developers around the world to participate by delivering various kind of plugins to make this addictive game more fun, entertaining and most importantly ... Free For All!.<br /><br />Well, this project just went "live" yesterday and u can download a "<a href="http://sudokusudoku.sourceforge.net/download.html">SQLPlus</a>" version of the game. Appreciate if u could check it out and do tell me what do u think. I could use all your support to boost the project ranking.</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11158661-114300425742188304?l=coolboykl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Khoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16227403501629231154noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11158661.post-1141589438207148682006-03-06T04:00:00.000+08:002007-09-24T11:34:18.276+08:00<p></p><p></p><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">My sister complained to me about why I didn’t write any thing about Bristol at my blog, a place where I have been staying for almost 3 weeks.

This movie left a powerful and deep impact on me. At this very moment, the movie ending is still stuck on my mind.&nbsp; I dreamed about it and woke up several times, thinking about all the kids in the movie. I almost cried this morning when I discovered from stories in the Internet that the movie is actually based on a true event which happened in Japan during 1988&nbsp; ...<br> <br> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">When I was watching the movie, I was upset because if only people around the kids could have paid more attention to their needs, their circumstances could be changed for the better,&nbsp; ....&nbsp; I then realised that the movie also projected the reality around us that “Nobody knows” repeat similar events happening around us everyday. How many times that we just walk pass the homeless people and totally ignore them? How many of us know our neighbors's name and their family too? How long we haven't called back to our parents and to find out how are they? How many of our hearts turn numb when CNN reports war or disasters happening far far away elsewhere? How many people are desperately seeking for help but <span style="font-family: courier new,courier,mono; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"><span style="font-weight: bold;">"</span></span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: courier new,courier,mono; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">NOBODY KNOWS" </span>? </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">If we could just care a little more .....</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">PS. Please watch this movie . Don't read any critics or reviews first . And most importantly do share your thoughts with Me.<br> </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br> </p> <br><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11158661-112736705511581790?l=coolboykl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Khoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16227403501629231154noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11158661.post-1127366920496870652005-09-22T13:27:00.000+08:002007-09-24T11:31:08.325+08:00<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Here's my problem, I have three set of application configuration files (e.g. project properties, hibernate configuration, log4j properties, and others) setup for three different deployment environments, there are:<br> -1. Production, my application will be connected to client's Oracle database, and log level set to warning.<br> -2. Local, HSQLDB running on my local machine will be use, log level set to debug<br> -3. Test, for unit testing purpose</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I am a lazy person, I wants my build script to prompt me which mode I would like to deploy, prior it compile, package and deploy my application. Listed below are the steps to how I achieve that:<br> - Firstly, I create a folder name "cfg" under project project, I then create “production”, “local”, and “test” folders under the cfg folder.<br> - Put properties files in to respective folder, shown in figure below:</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><img src="http://blogs.sun.com/roller/resources/jamesk/cfg_folder.png"><br> </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">- Open build.xml and add in new target, called “-pre-compile”, which will prompt user deployment mode, and copy respective properties to src directory prior any compilation, as shown in code below:<span style="font-family: monospace;"><br> </span></p><span style="font-family: monospace;"><br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;target name="-pre-compile"&gt;<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;input message="Please enter deploy mode? (production, local, test)-&gt;"<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; addproperty="mode"<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; defaultvalue="local"/&gt;<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;echo message="Copying application configuration file for ${mode} mode"/&gt;<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;copy todir="${src.dir}" overwrite="true"&gt;<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;fileset dir="${basedir}/cfg/${mode}"/&gt;<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;/copy&gt;<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;/target&gt;<br> <br> </span>- Clean and Build my project, surprise, surprise, Netbean actually popup a nice dialog ask me to enter deploy mode, as shown in figure below:<br> <br> <img src="http://blogs.sun.com/roller/resources/jamesk/enter_mode.png"><br> <br> <br> - That's very nice, but I am lazy person, remember. I don't want to type "production", "local", or "test" each time I want to deploy my application. So, I modified ant script a little bit by inserting a validargs element at the input taks, as show in code below:<br> <br> <span style="font-family: monospace;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;target name="-pre-compile"&gt;<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &lt;input message="Please enter deploy mode?

However, log4j does not “sits” very well in our App Server, some of identified problems are:<br />1.Deployed logging configuration file (i.e. log4j.properties) is totally ignore, even we put in correct class path.<br />2.Logger ClassCast Exception upon restart of an application server instance.<br /><br />A further investigate reveal that our Apps Server use JDK1.4 logging (i.e. Java.util.logging) via apache commons-logging, which should be avoided according to this article http://www.qos.ch/logging/thinkAgain.jsp, I agree. So, here's propose “work around”:<br />1.Write you own log4j wrapper class. Refer to “Ch9, Log4j, the complete manual” by log4j author Ceki Gülcü for more information on how to write a good log4j logger wrapper class.<br /><br />2.Create a new Logger Manager, which will a)Configure log4j properties if is not configured yet b)Return the logger wrapper class to calling class. As an example of such Logger Manager class: <pre><span class="gutter"> 1:</span><br /><span class="gutter"> 2:</span><span class="syntax8">public</span> <span class="syntax10">class</span> MyLogManager <span class="syntax18">{</span><br /><span class="gutter"> 3:</span> <span class="syntax8">private</span> <span class="syntax8">static</span> <span class="syntax10">boolean</span> isLogPropertiesConfigure <span class="syntax18">=</span> <span class="syntax14">false</span>;<br /><span class="gutter"> 4:</span><br /><span class="gutter"> 5:</span><br /><span class="gutter"> 6:</span> <span class="syntax8">public</span> <span class="syntax6">MyLogManager</span>() <span class="syntax18">{</span><br /><span class="gutter"> 7:</span> <span class="syntax18">}</span><br /><span class="gutter"> 8:</span><br /><span class="gutter"> 9:</span><br /><span class="gutterH"> 10:</span> <span class="syntax8">public</span> <span class="syntax8">static</span> MyLog4JWrapper <span class="syntax6">getInstance</span>(String logInstance) <span class="syntax18">{</span><br /><span class="gutter"> 11:</span> <span class="syntax8">try</span> <span class="syntax18">{</span><br /><span class="gutter"> 12:</span> <span class="syntax8">if</span> (<span class="syntax18">!</span>isLogPropertiesConfigure) <span class="syntax18">{</span><br /><span class="gutter"> 13:</span> PropertiesConfiguration pp <span class="syntax18">=</span> <span class="syntax8">new</span> <span class="syntax6">PropertiesConfiguration</span>(Constants.PRJ_PROPERTIES_FILE);<br /><span class="gutter"> 14:</span> String configFile <span class="syntax18">=</span> pp.<span class="syntax6">getString</span>(<br /><span class="gutter"> 15:</span> <span class="syntax13">"</span><span class="syntax13">log4j.properties.file</span><span class="syntax13">"</span>);<br /><span class="gutter"> 16:</span> FileInputStream istream <span class="syntax18">=</span> <span class="syntax8">new</span> <span class="syntax6">FileInputStream</span>(configFile);<br /><span class="gutter"> 17:</span><br /><span class="gutter"> 18:</span> Properties props <span class="syntax18">=</span> <span class="syntax8">new</span> <span class="syntax6">Properties</span>();<br /><span class="gutter"> 19:</span> props.<span class="syntax6">load</span>(istream);<br /><span class="gutterH"> 20:</span> istream.<span class="syntax6">close</span>();<br /><span class="gutter"> 21:</span> PropertyConfigurator.<span class="syntax6">configure</span>(props);<br /><span class="gutter"> 22:</span> isLogPropertiesConfigure <span class="syntax18">=</span> <span class="syntax14">true</span>;<br /><span class="gutter"> 23:</span> <span class="syntax18">}</span><br /><span class="gutter"> 24:</span> <span class="syntax18">}</span> <span class="syntax8">catch</span> (Exception e) <span class="syntax18">{</span><br /><span class="gutter"> 25:</span> System.out.<span class="syntax6">println</span>(<span class="syntax13">"</span><span class="syntax13">Error</span><span class="syntax13"> </span><span class="syntax13">:</span><span class="syntax13">"</span> <span class="syntax18">+</span> e.<span class="syntax6">toString</span>());<br /><span class="gutter"> 26:</span> <span class="syntax18">}</span><br /><span class="gutter"> 27:</span><br /><span class="gutter"> 28:</span> <span class="syntax8">return</span> <span class="syntax8">new</span> <span class="syntax6">MyLog4JWrapper</span>(logInstance);<br /><span class="gutter"> 29:</span> <span class="syntax18">}</span><br /><span class="gutterH"> 30:</span><span class="syntax18">}</span> </pre> 3.

It work finally, here what I have learn:<br /><br />1. Always catch runtime exception <br />Remember to catch the runtime exception in your java program whenever<br />you calling any hibernate functions. Most of Hibernate exceptions are<br />runtime, which mean by default most of programmer, including myself<br />will “forgot” to catch it, and issue printStackTrace( ) to find out the<br />actual cause of the problem.<br /><br />2. Hibernate require few reflection<br />permissions for data mapping and reflection, adds the following<br />permissions to your appserver server.policy, which is<br />located at $AppServer8InstallDir/domains/domain1/config.<br /><br />grant {<br />permission java.util.PropertyPermission "*", "read";<br />permission java.lang.reflect.ReflectPermission "suppressAccessChecks";<br />permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "getProtectionDomain";<br />};<br /><br />and finally<br /><br />3. Copy Hibernate libraries (together with the runtime libraries, such as<br />your JDBC driver) to the Sun Java Application Server Class Path. For<br />Sun App Server 8.1, this will be at<br />$AppServer8InstallDir/domains/domain1/lib/ext<br />Restart your application server.. that's all<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11158661-112736543485821807?l=coolboykl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Khoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16227403501629231154noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11158661.post-1127275335334777472005-09-21T12:01:00.000+08:002005-09-21T12:02:15.340+08:00This is a very first post, just to verify everythings works....ignore it..<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11158661-112727533533477747?l=coolboykl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>James Khoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16227403501629231154noreply@blogger.com0
