  • What is the best way to manage Time in a Java application?

    - by DanielHonig
    So I'm using hibernate and working with an application that manages time. What is the best way to deal with times in a 24 hour clock? I do not need to worry about TimeZone issues at the beginning of this application but it would be best to ensure that this functionality is built in at the beginning. I'm using hibernate as well, just as an fyi

  • Is it best to code from a blank sheet or improving a code that's already written?

    - by user300371
    Just had a curious thought, but for general coding and programming, do you think it's best to work out all the logic yourself and start from a blank sheet or just take a code that has been written already(by you or someone else) and just change it to your liking? Assuming you have a programming background of like 1year+. (because as a beginner, it's best to learn from nothing) I'm not saying copy+paste someone else's code and say it's yours.

  • What is the best solution for remote desktop / visual support?

    - by SchizoDuckie
    We are currently investigating different remote-desktop support solutions to help our clients if they have any problems with our software and I would like some input on the best solutions out there. We have the following needs / wishes: Cross platform Preferrably no installation on the user-end Should penetrate firewalls and not be bothered by antivirus stuff. Should leave no residu behind after support. I know of VNC, logmeinrescue.com, dameware remote control, msn remote desktop and many others, but which one is the best?

  • What is best practice in converting XML to Java object?

    - by newbie
    I need to convert XML data to Java objects. What would be best practice to convert this XML data to object? Idea is to fetch data via a web service (it doesn't use WSDL, just HTTP GET queries, so I cannot use any framework) and answers are in XML. What would be best practice to handle this situation?

  • Best approach to developing a cross-browser javascript widget that populates from a MySQL database?

    - by MindSculpt
    I'm currently researching the best way to approach building a javascript widget someone can embed on their site, which would retrieve and display information from an external MySQL database. The gist of the widget would mimic the needs/functionality of Twitter's widget (http://twitter.com/about/resources/widgets), where it uses some combination of JS, PHP and/or AJAX and retrieves information from a MySQL DB with secure (or at least somewhat safe) cross-browser access. Thoughts or ideas on the best and most reliable way to approach something like this?

  • Best way to keep a MS DOS application alive? (Virtual MS DOS)

    - by user11010
    Hi, I have a good old DOS application which is still required to run. Unfortunately the PC is dying and needs to be replaced. The PC was running Windows 98 and the software was executed in a MS Dos Command line. When we would order a new PC you would at least get a Windows XP which has the Win 2000 (NT) Kernel and is not DOS based. Now I need a strategy to be able to run a that DOS application on a new age PC. What I was thinking is to buy a standard office box and have a virtual PC or VMware setup which is running MS DOS and my DOS application? Would this be a way to go? Any concerns? What about 16Bit/32Bit… So any opinion, experiances or tip would be great …. Thanks

  • is there software that can fill in forms on the Internet, automatically and if so, what kind of server would work best [closed]

    - by Stevew51
    Possible Duplicate: Firefox Form Fill Add On I have been looking to get into that fill in forms for cash type job/business. I have been searching for software that can do the job automatically. I guess some sort of copy and paste I have been told that there is software for everything. I need software that can fill in forms on the Internet automatically. And if so, what kind of server works best. Not what brand what kind of server.I am not sure if you understand what I am looking for. I am looking for software they can take information from a business site and automatically place it in a form on that same site.I am not asking, what brand I should buy, what kind of server is it.

  • What is the best way to clone Win7 machines?

    - by John Hoge
    I'm looking to buy 5 new Win7 boxes and would like to ease deployment by cloning the OS. What I would like to do is install a fresh OS (Dell doesn't seem to sell machines without preinstalled crapware anymore) and then install a few apps on the first one. Once it is just right, I want to clone the OS and install the image on the other four machines and just change the machine name. Is this possible to do without any extra third party software? What I am thinking of doing is backing up the disk image of the first machine to a network share, and then booting the others to the windows install DVD and restoring the same image on each machine. Has anyone had any luck with this technique?

  • What does a DHCP-client consider to be the "best" answer?

    - by Nils
    We have training rooms where normally Windows XP is installed (via PXE). The "normal" DNS/DHCP infrastructure are Windows-Servers. The training room has its own VLAN (different from the Windows servers), so there is most propably an IP helper for DHCP requests active on the Cisco router where all PCs from that room are connected to. Now we wanted to convert some of the PCs to Linux instead. The idea was: Put our own Laptop with a DHCP server into the VLAN of the room and override the "normal" DHCP response. The idea was that this should work, since a directly attached DHCP server in that VLAN should have a faster response-time than the "normal" DHCP server located some hops away from that VLAN. It turned out that this did not work. We had to manually release the lease on the original DHCP server to get it working. On the Laptop we did see the client requesting the IP and "our" dhcp was sending NACKs to the Windows IP request, before that we did offer our own response. Old Question: Why did this not work out as expected? What is making the PC regain its old lease? Update 2012-08-08: The regain-issue has been explained in the DHCP-RFC. Now this explains why the PC regains its old lease. Now we do release the IP from the Windows-DHCP-server before giving it another try. Again - the Windows-DHCP-server wins. I suspect that there is some algorithm for the dhcp-client which determines the "best" dhcp-answer for the client. The new question is: How does the client choose the "best" answer?

  • What's the best solution for file sharing in my case? DAS or NAS?

    - by jakub
    I want to have in my network small, cheap and energy efficient server with will be fully customizable (Gnu/Linux, OpenBSD). What is more I want to have big, redundant storage in my network and access to it via server. I have already small terminal without hard drive (no SATA/PATA, one drive on USB) which works fine. I don't want to buy big server, or to use regular computer for that. It's not cheap. I thought about a small case (ITX?), and cheap computer in this with SATA ports, but I cannot find anything interesting :( I thought about NAS in network and server independently and booting server from NAS, I'm not sure which technologies will be good for that, and I don't know what with performance. Direct connection to NAS through network from workstation is next pro for that. What do you think about DAS? It will be good for that?

  • Is Cherokee (probably) the best static content server for beginner sysadmins?

    - by Bad Learner
    I have read the pros and cons of most of the popular web servers and have come to a conclusion that Apache would (probably) be the best web server for serving dynamic content - - no wonder YouTube, Flickr and Facbook, among many others, use it. I do not know if that C10K problem applies to Apache even when serving dynamic content only, but I think any web server used to serve dynamic content needs some good tweaking for optimized performance, and the fact that nothing beats Apache when it comes to documentation, resources and support on the web, I think should will go with Apache for dynamic content. That apart, the confusion begins when it comes to choosing web servers for static content (including streaming videos). I see that Nginx, Cherokee and Lighttpd are among the best (I am not considering non-open source or non-linux stuff here). So, which too choose? I know one cannot go wrong with any of the three (Nginx, Cherokee, Lighttpd). Lighttpd's development has evidently gotten slower than it was a good time ago. The documentation is pretty good for all the three, and hopefully, so are the resources (knowledge of these among the users of Stackoverflow/Serverfault sites, the web etc). Precisely, and noting point [2] and [3], if I am not wrong, I should either go with Nginx or Cherokee. I would love to see someone clarify these... is Cherokee just as fast (mb/s), performant (connections/s), and reliable (think downtime/restarting server) as Nginx for serving static content and load balancing, for small, medium to large (and really large) websites and applications? (Think, the size of YouTube, Apache or Facebook.) if the answer for the Q above is a big "hell, yes!" then, I should probably prefer Cherokee, right? Because, since I am a beginner, it would a lot easier to setup Cherokee as it has a graphical admin user interface + really good documentation. Yes? I could be wrong, I could be right. I put down what I know so that you can offer most relevant advise. Pardon if anything I've said is offensive.

  • What disk setup is needed / best practice for hypervisor-only servers?

    - by Luke404
    Planning to buy some servers to run an hypervisor (Citrix XenServer or VMware vSphere, still have to decide between the two) we'd like to boot off the local redundant SD card module offered by various vendors (eg. Dell, HP, etc...). The actual VMs will run from an existing iSCSI SAN (which, by the way, can't support booting the servers directly off the SAN). What are the reasons, if any, to choose completely diskless servers VS having some local storage? And what would be the guidelines to choose that local storage? (number of spindles, raid level, etc)

  • Which PSU should one chose? The biggest is the best?

    - by Shiki
    I'm fully aware of PSU's "Active PFC" and that they won't consume the written W all the time. (Makes sense). But now I'm before a PSU replacement (Guys: NEVER buy a Chieftec. Seriously.) The question is: If one can get a bigger one (in my case 750W and 650W) ... should that person go for the bigger one ? (The difference in price is not much). No, I don't think I'll soon use all that much. (Please help (if you want of course) to make the question more generic if the question is really not OK in this form. I've been wondering about this for a time already. In my case it would be XFX Black Edition Silver 750W and 650W) (Basically about "which one" I would go with XFX/Antec/something which comes with industry qualified parts. Like Duracell but in a PSU. :) But the performance is a different thing.)

  • What is the best CPU I could get for my old setup?

    - by cmbrnt
    On my current not-so-good desktop computer, I'm currently running an Intel Core 2 Duo E6550-CPU, and I'm thinking of buying a newer one now that these must be cheap on E-bay and the like. Being a software guy, I'd be grateful for any help in identifying what CPUs that would fit my motherboard so I don't buy a processor which won't work with my computer. It might not be worth it however, since the SATA2-drive is currently what's bottlenecking my system, but I'm still curious about what could be done except for buying an SSD-drive. I'm providing screenshots of CPU-Z running, to help with the identification. My CPU- and motherboard info: http://i.imgur.com/YdO8x.png

  • One Apache server, multiple clients - best practices for config files?

    - by OttaSean
    First time user; please be gentle. :-) (And if you don't like my question I'd be grateful for a comment as to why...) I am doing a contract at a government server shop that provides web services for multiple client groups in other areas of the government. My employer has asked me to look into how other shops, in similar situations, handle configuration files, and whether there are any best practices on the subject. I'm pretty sure there are lots of installations out there running multiple VirtualHosts out of one Apache installation, but surprisingly I couldn't find anything online about how people handle config file layout, so was hoping some of you wise folks on ServerFault might have some thoughts or pointers for me. The current setup - which seems logical to me - is that each client site has its own directory off the root - so: /client/tps-reports/ /client/silly-walks/ /client/ministry-of-magic/ and so on - and each of those directories has a /htdocs, /cgi-bin, and /conf (among others). The main /etc/apache/httpd.conf only contains Include statements (and lots of comments), the last of which is: Include /etc/apache/vhosts/*.conf The vhosts directory contains symlinks: tpsrept.conf - /client/tps-reports/conf/tpsrept.conf sillywk.conf - /client/silly-walks/conf/sillywk.conf mom.conf - /client/ministry-of-magic/mom.conf Each of those .conf files contains the actual NameVirtualHost definition and a gigantic <VirtualHost 192.168.12.34> stanza - which contains all the stuff about the specific site. The idea is that clients have access to what's in their own /client/xx directory, so they can change stuff in the section of the config that is relevant to them. As I mentioned above, that seems fairly logical to me, but I'm wondering if any of you wise folks are aware of potential gotchas with this sort of layout, or any other thoughts on why it is or isn't a good idea. In particular, how do other places do it? Is there a "best practice" for this sort of thing? Many thanks in advance for your time and any thoughts you all might have.

  • Best method in PHP for the Error Handling ? Convert all PHP errors (warnings notices etc) to exceptions?

    - by user1179459
    What is the best method in PHP for the Error Handling ? is there a way in PHP to Convert all PHP errors (warnings notices etc) to exceptions ? what the best way/practise to error handling ? again: if we overuse exceptions (i.e. try/catch) in many situations, i think application will be halted unnecessary. for a simple error checking we can use return false; but it may be cluttering the coding with many if else conditions. what do you guys suggest ?

  • Is this fix to "PostSharp complains about CA1800:DoNotCastUnnecessarily" the best one?

    - by cad
    This question is about "is" and "as" in casting and about CA1800 PostSharp rule. I want to know if the solution I thought is the best one possible or if it have any problem that I can't see. I have this code (named OriginaL Code and reduced to the minimum relevant). The function ValidateSubscriptionLicenceProducts try to validate a SubscriptionLicence (that could be of 3 types: Standard,Credit and TimeLimited ) by casting it and checking later some stuff (in //Do Whatever). PostSharp complains about CA1800:DoNotCastUnnecessarily. The reason is that I am casting two times the same object to the same type. This code in best case will cast 2 times (if it is a StandardLicence) and in worst case 4 times (If it is a TimeLimited Licence). I know is possible to invalidate rule (it was my first approach), as there is no big impact in performance here, but I am trying a best approach. //Version Original Code //Min 2 casts, max 4 casts //PostSharp Complains about CA1800:DoNotCastUnnecessarily private void ValidateSubscriptionLicenceProducts(SubscriptionLicence licence) { if (licence is StandardSubscriptionLicence) { // All products must have the same products purchased List<StandardSubscriptionLicenceProduct> standardProducts = ((StandardSubscriptionLicence)licence).SubscribedProducts; //Do whatever } else if (licence is CreditSubscriptionLicence) { // All products must have a valid Credit entitlement & Credit interval List<CreditSubscriptionLicenceProduct> creditProducts = ((CreditSubscriptionLicence)licence).SubscribedProducts; //Do whatever } else if (licence is TimeLimitedSubscriptionLicence) { // All products must have a valid Time entitlement // All products must have a valid Credit entitlement & Credit interval List<TimeLimitedSubscriptionLicenceProduct> creditProducts = ((TimeLimitedSubscriptionLicence)licence).SubscribedProducts; //Do whatever } else throw new InvalidSubscriptionLicenceException("Invalid Licence type"); //More code... } This is Improved1 version using "as". Do not complain about CA1800 but the problem is that it will cast always 3 times (if in the future we have 30 or 40 types of licences it could perform bad) //Version Improve 1 //Minimum 3 casts, maximum 3 casts private void ValidateSubscriptionLicenceProducts(SubscriptionLicence licence) { StandardSubscriptionLicence standardLicence = Slicence as StandardSubscriptionLicence; CreditSubscriptionLicence creditLicence = Clicence as CreditSubscriptionLicence; TimeLimitedSubscriptionLicence timeLicence = Tlicence as TimeLimitedSubscriptionLicence; if (Slicence == null) { // All products must have the same products purchased List<StandardSubscriptionLicenceProduct> standardProducts = Slicence.SubscribedProducts; //Do whatever } else if (Clicence == null) { // All products must have a valid Credit entitlement & Credit interval List<CreditSubscriptionLicenceProduct> creditProducts = Clicence.SubscribedProducts; //Do whatever } else if (Tlicence == null) { // All products must have a valid Time entitlement // All products must have a valid Credit entitlement & Credit interval List<TimeLimitedSubscriptionLicenceProduct> creditProducts = Tlicence.SubscribedProducts; //Do whatever } else throw new InvalidSubscriptionLicenceException("Invalid Licence type"); //More code... } But later I thought in a best one. This is the final version I am using. //Version Improve 2 // Min 1 cast, Max 3 Casts // Do not complain about CA1800:DoNotCastUnnecessarily private void ValidateSubscriptionLicenceProducts(SubscriptionLicence licence) { StandardSubscriptionLicence standardLicence = null; CreditSubscriptionLicence creditLicence = null; TimeLimitedSubscriptionLicence timeLicence = null; if (StandardSubscriptionLicence.TryParse(licence, out standardLicence)) { // All products must have the same products purchased List<StandardSubscriptionLicenceProduct> standardProducts = standardLicence.SubscribedProducts; //Do whatever } else if (CreditSubscriptionLicence.TryParse(licence, out creditLicence)) { // All products must have a valid Credit entitlement & Credit interval List<CreditSubscriptionLicenceProduct> creditProducts = creditLicence.SubscribedProducts; //Do whatever } else if (TimeLimitedSubscriptionLicence.TryParse(licence, out timeLicence)) { // All products must have a valid Time entitlement List<TimeLimitedSubscriptionLicenceProduct> timeProducts = timeLicence.SubscribedProducts; //Do whatever } else throw new InvalidSubscriptionLicenceException("Invalid Licence type"); //More code... } //Example of TryParse in CreditSubscriptionLicence public static bool TryParse(SubscriptionLicence baseLicence, out CreditSubscriptionLicence creditLicence) { creditLicence = baseLicence as CreditSubscriptionLicence; if (creditLicence != null) return true; else return false; } It requires a change in the classes StandardSubscriptionLicence, CreditSubscriptionLicence and TimeLimitedSubscriptionLicence to have a "tryparse" method (copied below in the code). This version I think it will cast as minimum only once and as maximum three. What do you think about improve 2? Is there a best way of doing it?

  • What are best practices when switching between projects/coming back to projects frequently?

    - by dj444
    The nature of my job is that I have to switch back and forth between projects every few weeks. I find that one of the biggest impediments to my productivity is the ramp-up time to getting all the relevant pieces of code "back in my head" again after not seeing it for a period. This happens to a smaller and larger extent for briefer breaks / longer breaks. Obviously, good design, documentation, commenting, and physical structure all help with this (not to mention switching between projects as infrequently as possible). But I'm wondering if there are practices/tools that I may be missing out on. What are your specific practices for improving on this?
