Zeldman Blocked They have fairly strict firewall rules at my current project, but I've been able to get to all the sites I've ever attempted. That's why this error amazed me this morning:

Forbidden by rating check

So much for getting any good web design tips while I'm at work... ;-) Posted in The Web at Dec 08 2003, 10:39:03 AM MST Add a Comment

DB2 with Hibernate and Tomcat At my current project, we're using AppFuse for our baseline and (currently) Tomcat and MySQL for our databases. Soon we'll be migrating to DB2 for our database. I'm assuming everything will work smoothly with Hibernate, but there's probably some Ant things I will need to modify. For instance, with MySQL, I currently create a new database with the following script: 

create database if not exists appfuse;
grant all privileges on appfuse.* to test@"%" identified by "test";
grant all privileges on appfuse.* to test@localhost identified by "test";

Is this possible with DB2? It's no biggie if it isn't - at my Comcast gig earlier in the year, we tied AppFuse/Hibernate into Oracle and simply didn't use the db-create nor db-init (creates tables) tasks. I use Hibernate's <schemaexport> task to create the tables - hopefully this will work in DB2. As for Tomcat, has anyone successfully configured DB2 with Tomcat's DBCP? We'll eventually be migrating to Websphere 5, hopefully it's not a big leap from Tomcat 4.1.27.

I haven't done any research on this yet, just wanted to put out some feelers and get any helpful advice before I start banging my head against the wall (hopefully I won't have to).
