The Last Day

Today is my last day at my current client. It's been a great experience and the last couple of weeks have been particularly enjoyable. We demoed the app I've been building (a Job Posting/Resume Builder) this week and everyone loved it. It's now ready to go into production, so hopefully the "new guy" won't have to do much work. It's unfortunate that it couldn't go into production sooner - but they want to deploy on WebSphere instead of Tomcat, so they'll have to figure that out first.

I was originally scheduled to dive head-first into open source at EJB Solutions next week, but managed to wiggle my way into a week off. I was already planning on taking the 2nd week of June off to work on Spring Live - and now I get 2 weeks! I'm pumped to have two weeks off - too bad I have work to do. Oh well, I expect to work crazy hours and burn the midnight oil a lot. That way, I can spend the days playing with Abbie and giving Julie some much needed rest.

The best part? On Thursday, I'm flying out to San Diego to pick up my new VW Bus. My dad is going to meet me there and we'll be embarking on Raible Road Trip #8 to drive it back to Denver. This weekend I'm going to stock a toolbox to deal with any breakdowns along the way. It should be a good time - I love road trips. So if you don't hear much from me for the next couple of weeks, I'm probably writing or enjoying beers on the patio. ;-)

Mmmm, beeerrrr - have a good holiday weekend y'all!

Matt, How invovled were you with the Tomcat to Websphere conversion? I doing one here and ran into a slight problem with container managed authentication. Seems like Websphere doesn't have the equivilent (or something very similar) of a Datasource Realm and I am wondering if you encountered that on your project and if so, what strategy did you employ. It doesn't look like a huge issue since something like SecurityFilter may just do the trick. Thanks.

I didn't get involved at all in the WebSphere conversion. I spent a couple of hours trying to install AppFuse on WebSphere, but that's about it. I find it hard to believe that WS don't allow you to hook authentication into a database. My guess is it's just a matter of figuring out how to do it.

Dave -- I've read alot here (major kudos to Matt on helping this monkey out of a couple of jams!) and thought I'd try and help -- we are a WAS5.0 shop, and had a couple of hiccups with authentication too. Ideally we wanted an LDAP server, but had technical issues for implementation -- so we went with a custom security adapter, that uses security filter (to mimic container security) and jCIFS (to authenticate from Unix to NT domains). Works pretty good, but we had to hack some parts to talk correctly (there are some holes in the SecurityFilter for propogation of the information across requests, and into Tiles). THx - pd

There was an excellent article on this site concerning load balancing tomcat + apache using mod_jk. Could you put it back online somewhere?

Nicolas - thanks for noticing that the article was missing. This was something I missed in my upgrade this weekend.
