Bye bye Vista - Welcome Linux

I have been busy recently, and this is how it translate on my blog. Not much was happening there... I use to post about Web Services, and Vista until that day, where I got a system upgrade.
It all started nicely with a nice screen and a simple prompt.

The only problem was that it took me to much time before to get to that screen. (I even had the time to turn on the camera on my "Mobile5" device to take the two shoots.

That was it. Bye bye vista / Welcome to Entreprise Linux 5.
Maybe, it was made to happen, when I picked this background for my laptop.

To be fair, I have to said that I got my first 'screen of death' on my iMac during the same periode of time...

With all that, I wish you a good day.
Next time, I may be back with useful stuff.

Please tell me more, MUCH MORE. My initial response to the joys of Vista was to partition off half my hard drive for Linux. That's as far as it went. Now Oracle has released VM and I'm wondering if I can place it under Vista and replace Vista on top with the 'restore disk' that you get with a new machine. What do you know? What was your experience?

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:   <ws...

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) ...
