- Deploying WO (D2W) into JBoss by Benjamin Doherty
My presentation at CAWUG on Tuesday will demonstrate how to deploy one
of the Apple-supplied complex D2W WebObjects applications on a stock
JBoss setup (not the Apple JBoss kit). The are many benefits of this
method, but for my own work the biggest benefit so far has been that I
no longer have to fuss with JavaMonitor and its inability to tolerate
dynamic IP addresses. Furthermore, I can deploy on ANY platform that
has a J2SE JDK installed on it, including FreeBSD.
This presentation will hopefully begin to remove the often confronted
problem of how to install WebObjects onto a Linux server and offer an
easy alternative: building self-contained WAR files that contain all
WebObjects libraries, licenses, and custom code. I will also explain
that there are alternatives to the self-contained WAR file, such as
SSDD and using a common set of WebObjects libraries for multiple
deployed applications which contain only the custom application code.
I hope that the presentation can be interactive, because I am a
WebObjects beginner. I looked at JavaMonitor (which I call
JavaMonster) first, tried to use it, and found that it could not work
in my first WO application deployment: a Linux server on a dynamic IP
address which I had no control over (an impoverished non-profit that
used 1 computer as their firewall, file server, print server, DHCP
server, and application server). When I realized that I could deploy
on JBoss and found how amazingly simple and effective it was, I felt
like becoming some sort of evangelist to convince people to get away
from JavaMonitor. I will want to know from the audience:
1. What compelling features does JavaMonitor have?
2. What knowledge do we already have about J2EE and WebObjects
interoperability? Is is real and useful or is it half-baked and
unusable?
3. What else do we know about JBoss, good and bad?
4. Will this work with other Java application servers such as
WebSphere?
I will also demonstrate how to set up connection pooling in JBoss--for
multiple applications using the same database--which is why a stock
JBoss distribution is required.
- O'Rielly Book Reviews
Recently O'Riely sent the user group some Apple related books (a few
new ones just arrived). If you're interested in reading one and doing
a presentation for a future meeting, let me know and you can keep the
book. We might have our first book review ready by tomorrow night (no
pressure, you know who you are :-) Some of the books they sent:
AppleScript the Definitive Guide (just arrived)
ObjC Pocket Ref.
Cocoa in a Nutshell
Learning Cocoa with ObjC
Building Cocoa Applications
Mac OS X Panther In a Nutshell
Mac OS X Panther Pocket Ref.
Running Mac OS X Panther
100 Mac OS X Panther Hacks
Version Control with Subversion
100 Digital Photography Hacks
The Cult of Mac (just arrived)
Modding Mac OS X (just arrived)
iPod & iTunes Hacks (just arrived)
- O'Tooles
We will continue the discussion at our local watering hold Timothy
O'Toole's at 622 Fairbanks (2 blocks east of the store). There might
be some counting going on we can watch and we can all cheer or cry in
our beer.
We also wish to thank the folks who run the theater space at the Apple
store for letting us have our meetings there, Steve Lorenz for hosting
our listserve, Alex Johnson for hosting our iCal, and Jonathan 'Wolf'
Rentzsch for hosting the new and revived CAWUG web site. Thanks all.
Also, if you are working on a project and would like to talk about it
briefly / promote it, I think it would be fun for people to hear about
other people's projects. Please email me off line and you can talk at
a future meeting. Future meetings dates: January 4th.
