Jetty Jndi setup with postgresql
07
Dec
So i was trying to get one of my web apps to run under jetty and was having problems with the global jvm jndi context. This is really simple, however it took me some time to figure it out. So i am posting my notes here, because with me i do something then a year later i will need to do it again and forget how. So here is how i got it going. Now this is with Jetty 6 i have not used Jetty 7 yet. I am using the dbcp from apache with postgresql database.
Oracle PDO_OCI PHP install fedora CentOS

Well i run a mix of CentOS and Fedora machines, and at work i needed to run some reports from an Oracle DB. I really don't care much for Oracle, but i needed to get the data, and since i don't like having to do the same thing over again i thought i would just throw together a PHP page and let the user run the canned report themselves. However getting Oracle to install on CentOS and my Fedora boxes was not a simple yum install...
Opennms monitor process

I found two separate links on monitoring processes using OpenNMS. On uses groovy the other uses the polling service inside OpenNMS. I will try one if it does not work the way i want i will try the other. My idea is to use the polling service to see if it does what i want, if not then do the groovy way. I hope it all works. Also i want to figure out a way to monitor log files.
Still working hard

I have been working hard on client projects, the PHPEclipse project, and learning about Bacula. Which is the best Open Source backup utility around. I have used Amanda in the past, but once i started using Tivoli at work i realized that there was allot missing. I plan on doing a full review and documentation on using Bacula. Right now i am still learning how to use it and making custom scripts to do things that i need done. My documentation will be on my setup, and how i am using it. The docs done by Kern Sibbald are awesome. The documentation is very helpful and i have been able to find almost everything i needed.
The dlzsync project that i have been working on is just about finished. I know i said it was going to be done months ago, but i got busy with other stuff. It is looking very good. I have been testing it on the domains that i host. I just have a few kinks to work out of the system.
I have also learned how to use PHPUnit, and write unit tests for my applications. I plan on working with Junit to do the same for my Java apps. Need to write some unit test for PHPEclipse as well.
Also i have not forgotten about my blog system. It has not seen any development for a while. I have allot of projects going on, and just have not had time to dedicate to working on the blog system. I guess i got it working good enough for what i need right now. However i do need to add the page so i can view old posts and possibly edit them. I have some that i need to publish.
