A life well spent
A rest well earned
Under A blanket of stars with brightly abandon
An old man laid there in reflection

Carved entirely of Nature
Crafted of hand
From trees local the legs and seams made
Of hibiscus rope the bed was woven
By hand when he was only a few years younger

Under the robes flimsy, light
but eminently appropriate
His skin still bears the marks of weaving

A 5 foot companion thin and slick
lay beside him lifeless 
yet a friend of his in circumstances all
A crutch for his mind and body

A prayer or two he uttered
Hey Ram, in honesty he said
The rhythmic zingle of the beasts chimed in agreement

All cares attended
All creatures tenderly cared for
It is his turn
It is his time

to look at the stars in silence
in open
in the gentle swaying of the trees 
in the west bound wind
in Happyness perfect

Every whim of the nature a lullaby
The man is resting
Come and see the nature of that you seek

To train the mind, you must exercise the patience and determination it takes to shape the steel. If you practice improving your mind with a strong will and forbearance by trying, no matter how many difficulties you may encounter at the beginning, then you will succeed. With patience, practice, and time, change will come.

I believe that we learn by practice - Martha Graham

I believe that we learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living, the principles are the same. In each it is the performance of a dedicated precise set of acts, physical or intellectual, from which comes shape of achievement, a sense of one's being, a satisfaction of spirit. One becomes in some area an athlete of God.

Practice means to perform, over and over again in the face of all obstacles, some act of vision, of faith, of desire. Practice is a means of inviting the perfection desired

How can I access a local java class or a soap representation of it at run time with out using any stubs. Assuming I have the interface of the class and the domain objects for it.

Need you help. What is a good approach for accessing java interfaces remotely and in a transparent fashion?

What is a good approach for accessing java interfaces remotely? The answer seems too obvious. Use EJB session beans, or web services or RMI. is that the best way? Could I not use dynamic proxies and not use any client side or serverside skeletons and stubs? Can I not do this by not generating any thing? Would some one recommend WSIF to do this? What else is out there?

Phrased differently, if I have a jar file that contains an interface and the domain objects that support that interface, can I access one of its implementations that is sitting on a remote machine using a dynamic proxy. The protocol can be SOAP or EJB or just a plain homegrown over http for that matter.

Stated differently, if I were to implement a service layer using plain java interfaces and implementations, can I break that layer apart at deployment time with out involving any compile time changes. Such an option will give me the ability to multi-tier an application with very little fan fare. Programmers need even not know about SOAP or EJB etc.

For instance WSIF (web services invocation framework) seem to advertise a functionality that is similar in intent. But someone expereienced with WSIT comment on whether all you need is interfaces and domain objects? Also WSDL seem to be necessary for WSIF to work. Can it work with out any xml artifacts and assume a certain SOAP implementation and provide a dynamic proxy for it.

I am hoping someone out there looked into this before and I would like to hear from them. Either you can post the answer here or if you don't have an account, could you email me your opinion? My email is "satya at activeintellect.com".

Thanks in advance for considering this.

The life of a physicist is marked by "attacks of hoplessness, depression, and discouragement"

-leon lederman

The complete quote

Physicists today feel the same emotions that scientists have felt for centuries. The life of a physicist is filled with anxiety, pain, hardship, tension, attacks of hopelessness, depression, and discouragement. But these are punctuated by flashes of exhilaration, laughter, joy, and exultation. These epiphanies come at unpredictable times. Often they are generated simply by the sudden understanding of something new and important, something beautiful, that someone else has revealed. However, if you are mortal, like most of the scientists I know, the far sweeter moments come when you yourself discover some new fact about the universe. It's astonishing how often this happens at 3 A.M., when you are alone in the lab and you have learned something profound, and you realize that not one of the other five billion people on earth knows what you now know. Or so you hope. You will, of course, hasten to tell them as soon as possible. This is known as "publishing."

Leon Lederman, The God Particle: If the Universe is the Answer, What is the Question? (with Dick Teresi, 1993)

Abhi Saarika

I couldn't figure out what the meaning of Abhisaarika is. I have looked a dictionary. It suggests "Abhi" as something that is equivalent to a "juxtaposition". I couldn't figure out "Saarika" either. I roughly know what it means. I am keen on the exact sense and proportion of this word.

Spelling is important!!

How to install Liferay Java Portal on Tomcat

More documents like this are at:  Java-Portlets

20-Nov-06

Liferay is a web portal system. Liferay is JSR 168 compliant. Liferay is implemented as a java compliant web application. Liferay is typically installed as a root context in Tomcat. More popular installation packages of Liferay come with a bundled tomcat. Although that is technically true, the download instead contains a tomcat with a preinstalled Liferay as its root context.

Installing Liferay involves unzipping this tomcat and starting the tomcat from the tomcat bin directory. The only real prerequisite is that there is a jdk installed and java_home set. Subsequently you can see Liferay in action by going to

http://localhost:8080

The default view of this site is for users or guests that haven't logged in yet. This is the public face of the portal web site. Liferay comes with a built in test user for testing the sign in process. One can also sign up for an account. Once installed the portal can be configured using its internal portlets and themes.

The out-of-the box Liferay comes with hypersonic sql. Nevertheless it is highly advisable to use mysql as soon as possible. The main issue you will run into otherwise is that you may not find good tools to manipulate the database.

This document will cover the basic mysql installation as well and also running command line prompt for mysql and using the mysql tools for such things as creating the database etc.
