SCO site says "We own all your code"

IS THIS A HACK, or is SCO being as serious as only SCO can be?

Let's Hibernate Toplink

I recently read TopLink: 10 Years of Persistence on Theserverside.com and I still think that Toplink is not the tool form me. As some of my readers ( :-) ) know I'm a Hibernate zeloth. To be a zeloth is not a good thing at all, but after testing almost every JDO implememntation and get tired of huge JDBC code writing hibernate almost saved my life. I have tested also Toplink. I got not the skill nor the time to make a Hibernate vs Toplink Article and so I will make only a simple consideration. Toplink has been out for ten years that is a huge period in this "framework-age". Got it out Oracle products? I mean Are there any market ruler sw that uses Toplink? Ask yourself the same things about Hibernate

Things to do. Services to use

Hi!

After reading Alex Toussaint's Blog post I thought that planning is everiting and so this is my "Things to do. Services to use"

• Finish read the J2EE Architect handbook (pdf version)
  
• Read JSR 170
  
• Prepare some Hibernate magic to show at Brescia Java User group
  
• Update the layout of my Bloggerman Project' blog
  
• Buy a Firefox t-shirt
  
• Buy Mac Os X for Java Geeks from O'Reilly
  
• Buy stuff at earchery.it and build some arrow for the December Archery Contests
  

These items should be a sample of a tipical, in my opinion, thechy, --Java Geek-- //TODO list.. maybe some Star Trek is missing...

Now post yours!

Cheers

JSF and JSTL: I got the clue

Finally I understood the true meaning of using jstl an jsf. I'm writing this to the one that, like me, aproched custom tag in "the servlet way". I found that tag tecnolgy gives his best if used with a sort of reuse paranoia in mind.
I gave myself.. and going to propose to the team, these rules:

• Check the Standard taglib before writing something in a jsp
  
• Check the company taglib before writing something in a jsp
  
• Check the Jakarta taglib before writing something in a jsp
  
• Everything longer than 10 lines of code in a JSP should be placed in an include jsp (and maybe parametrized: jsp:param do exist!)
  
• Everything longer than 10 lines of code in a JSP should be placed in a new tag of the company taglib (or maybe is a businees method!)
  

Maybe these rules are oblivious for the most of you... but I'm working very hard in refactoring hugly jsp.


Pause is over... back to work!
