Starting fresh

Today, I am starting fresh with coding and decided to learn Go Lang.

So, I went on the web to search for ways to learn on my own. Found this site and got started right away. 

So far, it has been a great experience, but I will have to be patient as there may be some delays in getting feedback from the mentors.

This is not really, what I wanted to talk about today. I am shocked at the way adds are rendered in web pages, from `random` sites.

Can you find a pattern with my recent browsing - I am going to pages that I found in my search result while testing some new APIs in Go.




In the past days, 

  1. I have been considering tacking this online course to refresh my ML knowledge
  2. I have started to use this API - https://www.producthunt.com/posts/covid-19-news-api (hosted on https://rapidapi.com/)
Where is the value in those adds which are cluttering my browsing experience without much value to me? 

I am wondering if this training is worth the money now...

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
