Undo a commit in subversion (revert a change, restore deleted folder) ..

Dec 01, 2010 in Subversion

svn delete blah

svn commit -m done
change 2212

(oops!)

2 ways:

1. with a working copy:

cd blah

svn merge -c -2212 http://mysub.server.com/svn/blah

See for more details:

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.branchmerge.basicmerging.html#svn.branchmerge.basicmerging.undo

2. without a working copy:

svn copy -r2212 -m ‘restore’ http://mysub.server.com/svn/blah@2212
http://mysub.server.com/svn/

Note that the target folder should be “above” the folder you are trying to restore.

cache / caching notes ..

Nov 05, 2009 in Engineering

– Object dependencies

– expiration policies

– object priorities

– scavenging objects (on low memory conditions, using cache item priority)

Insert(key as String, value as Object, 
  dependencies as CacheDependency, 
  absoluteExpiration as DateTime, 
  slidingExpiration as TimeSpan, 
  priority as CacheItemPriority, 
  onRemoveCallBack as CacheItemRemovedCallback) 

– From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_reference

…. – A weak reference is a reference that does not protect the referenced object from collection by a garbage collector:

…. – Used to re-connect to an object between the time the last reference was removed and the time the GC finds the object and collects it.

– From: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms404247.aspx

…. – A weak reference is valid only during the indeterminate amount of time until the object is collected when no strong references exist.

– EHCache (Easy Hibernate Cache)

Hash table notes..

Aug 26, 2009 in Engineering, Java, JavaUsage, Software

From http://techinterviewcoach.com/blog/?p=30#more-30

  • Hash tables are backed by arrays.
  • A hash function is used to map the keys to an index within the backing array.
  • Put, Get, Delete operations all run in constant ( O(1) ) time.
  • Hash function determines performance.
  • Even with the best hash function, collisions can occur.
  • Main advantage of HTs over other data structures is speed.
  • Growing HTs need to be rehashed but the cost is amortized by constant cost of ‘put’.
  • Should not use HTs for small data sets, but everybody does.
  • Rehashing should occur when the load factor (occupied array slots / array size) reaches over .75.

Notes on “Java Web Services” ..

Jul 02, 2009 in Books, Java, Software, WebServices

This book is a bit old.. 2002..




  • — SOA – Service Oriented Architecture
    — 3 major roles: Provider, Registry (Broker) and Requester.
    — SOA is based on web services.
  • — SOAP – Simple Object Access Protocol
    — 2 major methods: Message-based Document Exchange AND RPC
    (Remote Procedure Calls).
    — All structures based on XML.
    — A SOAP message contains an Envelope and a Header.
    — A SOAP message may contain (MIME) attachments.
    — Main transport protocol is HTTP(S).
    — Providers (Receivers) are usually based on Servlets.
  • — SOAP-RPC
    — Method signatures contain a single SOAP structure.
    — SOAP service methods must match info in deployment descriptor.
    — Errors and Faults: VersionMismatch, MustUnderstand, DTDNotSupported, etc..
  • — WSDL – Web Services Description Language
    — WSDL is an XML grammar for describing a web service
    as a collection of access end-points capable of exchanging
    messages in a procedure- or document-oriented fashion (p. 72)
    — The reasonable flow is to create service methods and
    than generate WSDL from code using tools.
    — Best practices: web service is (functionally) coarse-grained
    and messages are more business-oriented than programmatic.
  • — UDDI – Universal Description, Discovery and Integration
    — Similar to an Internet search engine for businesses.
    — UBR – UDDI Business Registry (the Public Cloud).
    — Designed for B2B mostly.
    — 2 APIs: inquiry and publishing API.
    — JAXR = Java API for XML Registries.
    — Some details: Categorization (NAICS, ISO, etc..),
    Identifier (DUNS, Thomas Reg, etc),
    tModel (web service metadata)
  • — JAX-RPC and JAXM
    — JAXM = Java API for XML Messaging.
    — JAX-RPC = Java API for XML-based RPC.
    — JAXM may be used as a frontend to SOAP-based messaging
    frameworks through the use of “profiles”.
    — JAX-RPC covers code generation for client and server parts,
    dynamic SOAP, creating services within J2EE and J2SE environments,
    bindings, serialization, mapping of datatypes between WSDL and Java,
    etc..
  • — The Java Web Service (JWS) Standard
    — Proposed by BEA, using templates to create simple web services.
    — Example (HelloWorld.jws <- note the .jws extension)
    Note the annotations @operation, @conversation ..

    import com.bea.jws.*
    
    public class HelloWorld extends Service {
      /**
      * @operation
      * @conversation stateless
      */
      public String getHelloWorld() {
        return "Hello, World!";
      }
    }
    

    Other values for @conversation are ‘start’, ‘continue’ or
    ‘finish’. The ‘start’ directive, for example, starts a session.

  • — Security notes
    — Use of SSL (HTTPS), encryption, signing and secure hashing.
    — Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) – used with Single Sign-On (SSO).

For reverse engineering, see “MoDisco” (Model Discovery)

http://www.eclipse.org/gmt/modisco/

For building UML models from legacy packages, here are some
tips:

http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.modeling.gmt.modisco/msg00055.html

...
- the first one builds a Java Abstract Syntax model (based on the JDT Java API) from a Java 
compilation unit, this Java model may be then transformed into a UML2 model using an ATL 
model-to-model transformation (http://www.eclipse.org/m2m/atl/);
- the second one builds a UML2 model from a Jar file.

cvs administration with pserver notes..

Jun 26, 2009 in Config Manage, cvs

To check for cvs with pserver configuration:

  • – Check that xinetd is installed
  • – Check file /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver
    It should look like this:

    service cvspserver
    {
    port = 2401
    socket_type = stream
    protocol = tcp
    wait = no
    user = root
    passenv = PATH
    server = /usr/local/bin/cvs
    server_args = -f –allow-root=/opt/cvs pserver
    }

  • – Check that cvsnt is where the xinetd file (above) says it is
    (/usr/local/bin/cvs in this example)
  • – Check the cvs path (/opt/cvs in this example)
  • $ telnet cvsserver 2401 (or whatever port is specified in /etc/xinet.d/cvspserver file)
  • – Check the cvs passwd file in /opt/cvs/cvsroot folder.
    It should have an entry for the user.
  • – If the user is not in the cvs passwd file (in example: /opt/cvs/cvsroot/passwd)
    add the user with:

    $ cvs passwd -a user (it will ask for a password)

See http://devguy.com/fp/cfgmgmt/cvs/cvs_admin_nt.htm#pserver for more info.
