I got a call from a nice lady from a Market Research company on the way home from a mountain bike ride this afternoon. She said she'd pay me $100 if I came in and discussed MySQL for 30 minutes! Sounds great, eh? She asked me if I'd attended a paid "research discussion" before. I told her, "Yes, in college we drank beer for $50."
Well, guess what - she's paying for drinking beer too. I can't attend either one because we're heading out to California next week. You should probably live in (or near) Denver to make it worth your while. For the beer taste test, contact Kari Allen at 303-980-1909 (must be male 21-29). For the MySQL Discussion, contact Christine at 303-980-2262. Good luck - hope you make some cash and catch a buzz! ;-)
I've convinced the folks at my new project to use Maven for organizing, building and testing our projects. It's my recommendation because they have many (5+) webapps that all have the same dependencies. Maven was the obvious choice to eliminate duplication and standardize directory structures, etc. So my question is - how do I automate our build/test/deploy process? I currently use Anthill with Ant, and wish I could use it with Maven. Last time I checked, I couldn't. I've heard I could use CruiseControl. If that's true (and recommended over Anthill) - anyone got a HowTo?
Download and Changelog. I won't be downloading or trying any more Tomcat Alpha's - I just don't have the time. Nor will I announce any more releases until a beta comes out. I can hear the Thank You's already... ;-)
I asked the following question on the Hibernate Forums, but thought I'd put it here to see if anyone can help.
I'm using the open-session-in-view pattern and getting the following error at random:

I've used my same ServiceLocator.java class for the past 6 months on a couple of different projects (MySQL and Oracle), with no issues. But now I've developed a new app for a new client, and this error is popping up a LOT. Any ideas? I'm only closing the connection after my doFilter() method in a Filter.
It doesn't happen at all on my Windows XP machine (I've never seen the error). Only on Linux.
uname -a gives me:
Linux kgb08 2.4.20-8bigmem #1 SMP Thu Mar 13 17:32:29 EST 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Tomcat 4.1.27, MySQL 4.0.13-Max-log, JDBC Driver mysql-connector-java-3.0.8-stable-bin.jar.
I've also seen it happen on MySQL 3.23.56, but now I can't seem to reproduce it.
Any ideas?
Kenneth Hunt (via Erik) hooks us up with a link to Mozilla Firebird Extensions. I tried to install one of my favorite Mozilla extensions - Autoform. No dice - Not a valid installer package. Damn.
