Lose end of 2010, as we get ready for .next

It has been a very quiet year on the blogging side. Most of the free time was spent on the new media, trying to figure out why Facebook and Twitter were so useful to communicate with the world.

As I am wrapping up the year, I have two new books on my night stand:

Processing XML documents with Oracle JDeveloper 11g
Processing XML documents with Oracle JDeveloper 11g

Web 2.0 Solutions with Oracle WebCenter 11gWeb 2.0 Solutions with Oracle WebCenter 11g

With this on my to-read list, I should be able to convert my experimentations into something useful. I need to find a better way to:
  • keep track of my comic books and follow the new releases dates
  • build a collection of my preferred recipes, from the family and friends, together with the pictures I shoot and store in my Smug-mug account.

Let see how I can make it happend in 2011 ;-)

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
