While searching for log4j Chainsaw updates re: VFS support, I came across a post on Oliver’s blog (initial author of Chainsaw) that related to an issue I came across a few years ago. My post to the log4j-users mailing list was related to concerns about log4j socket appenders potentially deadlocking the application server - in this case, WebLogic 8.1. A few months later Oliver encountered the problem - which is what I stumbled upon today. So the point of this post? Don’t use socket appenders on a production system - although I thoroughly advocate their use on dev/qa environments. The other point, it’s a small world after all.
Archive for the “Tools” CategoryRuby on Rails has been the hot topic for nearly a year, but I haven’t really looked at it any detail… until today when I noticed that Roumen has recorded two demos of Ruby support in Netbeans 6.0. I’m very impressed, at both RoR *and* Netbeans. RoR is everything that I’ve heard it is… but bringing it in under the Netbeans umbrella is the really great thing. I’ve been using Netbeans for years - early 3.x versions if I recall correctly. The product has evolved extensively over the last two years and I implore anyone frustrated with Eclipse to give Netbeans a spin. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed (or I hope you won’t be). And… where else can you go to have a demo that sounds like it’s delivered by a CIA operative? Roumen is the best! I’ve been evaluating Atlassian Confluence lately and will eventually do a review here. So far, so good. Easy to setup. Easy to configure. LDAP support out of the box. I don’t think LDAP support is too much to ask for, but looking at some of the open-source wikis, expect some headache. Anyhoo, I’ve also been reading the Atlassian Developer Blog and was rewarded with an article about Confluence implementing OpenID. Very interesting. Will need to follow-up on this. A quick plug for my fav aggregator: BlogBridge! |
