FreeRoller gets a new home

FreeRoller is going to have a new home. The JavaLobby has offered to host FreeRoller on one of there servers which is significantly more powerful than "el crappo", the dinky box which currently hosts FreeRoller. In order to support the move FreeRoller will be going down for a little bit of time in the near future (probably today). Once FreeRoller is back up we will still be using "el crappo" until the DNS migration is complete, which will take a day or two. The DNS migration should be transparent though so the only outage will occur when we switch databases. [All Things Java]

Anyone with University of Miami connections?

I found this sweet job this morning. I submitted my resume, but, as most of you know, the hiring manager has probably received 1000+ resumes in his/her inbox today. So my question is - do any of you know any University of Miami folks that could get me an "inside track." Any help is appreciated.

OSCache doesn't play nicely with Tiles

I was hoping to use OSCache to cache my JSP pages to overcome my 15-seconds-to-load performance issue. I was hoping to simply place <cache:cache> tags around my entire Tile's baseLayout.jsp. However, I was disappointed to find that this did not work. I get this nice error message:

Can't insert page '/common/header.jsp' : Illegal to flush within a custom tag 

I even tried it just surrounding my 200+ row table of indexed properties, but no dice, same error. Oh well, onto caching with Hibernate's JCS support.

Are you a contractor wondering what you should charge?

I'm sure all of you have wondered what you should be getting paid for your services. Especially if you're a contractor. It sucks that you never know if someone is making more than you. In our society, it's sometimes taboo to discuss how much you make. That's why I like the Government Jobs - sure they pay less, but you know exactly how much everyone makes. Anyway, the purpose of this post is to point you to RealRates.com where you can see what other folks are getting paid. I encourage you all to add your rates. Moving to Florida doesn't look so bad when you search on Java and Florida.
