Some random notes, in a developer's reading day.

Here are some random link to resources I found on the Web, that I have read over the weekend, and that I'll keep in my bookmarks for a while. As I am in transit between different computers, I figure out that my blog was not a bad place to keep them handy...

Just one viewpoint on Vista's content protection system.

As a side note, I have seen Vista Ultimate running on a brand new high-end system over the weekend, at a friend's home, with an XBox360 and a huge TV screen.

Very nice !!! I am jealous, I can't do the same with a 24 inch iMac using my Home Theater setup.

A nice blog with tones of tips on Windows Vista.

I especially have this one reasoning in my mind: "Fact 12: Coding conventions are efficient; they must be imposed." I still have not been able to understand why this is not de-jure in any software development organisation - small or large.

Start thinking about 6.0, so you will be ready on time. For me, it just mean I have to start running my code using 6.0 JDK and see if my IDE can handle it. As you need to pick the best tool for the job, it may be time to evaluate a new tool.

I have also start to use JDeveloper to play with mySQL, Subversion, Hibernate, and found some interesting how-to on the topics. I'll have to make another compilation of what is useful and some of the traps I didn't missed, in case it helps others.

It was a busy weekend ;-)

Changing the version of JDK used by JDeveloper

I have recently learned a quick and lazy way to change the version of the JDK used to run JDeveloper 10g R3. I am sure there is an option somewhere in the configuration screen to do the same, which I couldn't find... While JDeveloper is not running, locate the embedded JDK on disk and rename (or delete) that directory. For me, it was C:\opt\jdev\jdk. Once it's done, restart and you will by asked to locate the version of the JDK you want to use. It's another step to get going with JAVA on Vista. -ecco

Connection reset from a WCF Web Service

Here is an error message you may see, when calling WCF Web Services from java: IOException retrieving the response: java.net.SocketException: Connection reset As it may not be obvious the first time you see it, this may save you some time. One reason for this behaviour is when the WCF endpint is expecting to see wsa:Action SOAP header in the request. To find out if you are facing this case, you have to look inside the WSDL, and search for the policy that describes the contract for your endpoint. <wsp:Policy wsu:Id="CustomBinding_Echo1_policy">   <wsp:ExactlyOne>     <wsp:All>       <wsaw:UsingAddressing/>     </wsp:All>   </wsp:ExactlyOne> </wsp:Policy> To make this a concrete example, here is a sample WSDL . To find the policy, you will need to follow the import as the policy are not always advertized in the top-level document. Here is how the import looks:   <wsdl:import namespace="http://example.org/" location="h

unexpected null value for literal data

There is a challenge that is hard to overcome at first; making sense of error messages. You can always Google with the text of the error, “unexpected null value for literal data” and hope to be lucky . If you are using Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.0, here is the explaination for the message and two ways out. The Exception: unexpected null value for literal data at oracle.j2ee.ws.common.util.exception.JAXRPCExceptionBase.<init>(JAXRPCExceptionBase.java:52) at oracle.j2ee.ws.common.encoding.SerializationException.<init>(SerializationException.java:26) ... The relevant schema: <complexType name="Customer"> <sequence> <element name="address" type="tns:Address"/> <element name="firstName" type="string"/> <element name="lastName" type="string"/> </sequence> </complexType> A sample code that will cause this exception: public void testServ() throw
