Active JMS

Active JMS: "Activating Java Message Services!

The Java Message Service 1.0.2 API has become the standard for MOM products large and small and its implementation ranges from expensive commercial products to freeware and even open source projects. As its name suggests, however, it only provides a standard Java API. This means that:

* There are no widely accepted standardized, non-Java, non-proprietary messaging APIs.
* Support for non-Java access to many JMS systems is very limited.

These two facts often present a problem for an organization, as they often need to have non-Java clients participate in a JMS network. Until now these organizations had few choices—they could use the JMS vendor’s proprietary ActiveX client (if the vendor offered one), or they could use a general purpose 3rd party Java-ActiveX integration tool. Neither of these solutions is ideal, however, because they are contrary to the ‘open’ nature of the JMS specification itself. You get tied down to a particular vender once again!

The Active JMS open source project was created to solve this problem by offering a freely available, non-proprietary, open source ActiveX JMS client API. With it, you can access a large majority of the JMS functionality without compromise."

JMX4Ant

JMX4Ant


Welcome to the JMX4Ant. JMX4Ant is a set of optional Ant tasks that allows interactions with JMX MBeans.

Like many other programmers, I find Ant to be an extremely handy tool to use in automating away the daily drudgery of routine development tasks. In J2EE development, one kind of drudgery that I have a special dislike for is the creation and management of J2EE resources that my applications depend upon.

My motivation therefore was to provide tasks for J2EE resource creation and management from Ant that I use to build/deploy application. (e.g. create my JDBC pool and JMS queues/topics before I deploy my entity and message driven beans...), but the tasks are general enough for much broader use (i.e. general purpose J2EE server and application administration).

If you have questions, comments, or suggestions for improvements please feel free to contact me directly, or post to one of the JMX4Ant lists on Sourceforge.

Version 1.2 of JMX4Ant contains a number of important new features and some bug fixes as well. One of the most requested enhancements for JMX4Ant that is now part of v1.2 is support for WebLogic's Targets property, and addTarget method. This enhancement allows JMX4Ant to deploy and undeploy the resources that are created to a particular target server. For more information on v1.2 features, refer to the Change History section of this document.

The JTR Java Test Runner Project

The JTR Java Test Runner Project: "JTR, acronym for Java Test Runner, is a Java framework that helps developers in building stress test suites. JTR has been devised with some targets in mind:

*

ease of use
*

extendability
*

high configurability
*

modularity
*

rapid development
*

providing J2EE developers with those facilities they usually need
*

ready to use logging facilities
*

Inversion of Control: let the JTR framework inject runtime properties into your runners
*

complete control of the exceptions potentially raised during your test runs

I decided to start devising & coding JTR since I was looking for a framework that could have helped me in building a complex J2EE test environment. The need came out one day at work: I had to stress test a J2EE application and after looking around for suitable testing frameworks I simply decided to start out writing my own one. This approach does not means the JTR framework either is or will be closed with respect to other testing frameworks. Infact it is my firm willing to integrate it with the most popular ones out there nowadays in the next future.
More information covering the most interesting details of the aims sketched above is provided in the reminder of this document (Project Details)."

XStream - About XStream

XStream - About XStream: "XStream is a simple library to serialize objects to XML and back again.
Features

* Ease of use. A high level facade is supplied that simplifies common use cases.
* No mappings required. Most objects can be serialized without need for specifying mappings.
* Performance. Speed and low memory footprint are a crucial part of the design, making it suitable for large object graphs or systems with high message throughput.
* Clean XML. No information is duplicated that can be obtained via reflection. This results in XML that is easier to read for humans and more compact than native Java serialization.
* Requires no modifications to objects. Serializes internal fields, including private and final. Supports non-public and inner classes. Classes are not required to have default constructor.
* Full object graph support. Duplicate references encountered in the object-model will be maintained. Supports circular references.
* Integrates with other XML APIs. By implementing an interface, XStream can serialize directly to/from any tree structure (not just XML).
* Customizable conversion stategies. Strategies can be registered allowing customization of how particular types are represented as XML.
* Error messages. When an exception occurs due to malformed XML, detailed diagnostics are provided to help isolate and fix the problem."

ClassEncrypt Software

ClassEncrypt Software: "ClassEncrypt is a program that can encrypt a developer's class files to prevent malicious users from stealing the source code. The program uses a modular design to allow the developer to create different encryption modules for the program to use. This software does not prevent the developer's software from being pirated.

The software comes with a default module that encrypts and decrypts using the Blowfish algorithm that was created by Bruce Schneier. This software is meant to be a barrier of protection for Java developers who want to market their software. It is not at all foolproof since the software enables the encrypted class files to still run using the regular JVM. It does, however, slow down any reverse engineering that someone may try on the developer's software."

jcoverage

jcoverage

At jcoverage we are about productivity. Our suite of tools and technologies aim to reduce the 'code - test - diagnose - fix' cycle.

If you are using code coverage tools, you are also writing tests. We believe that you can improve your test development productivity at the same time.

Once you have coded, your tests and coverage analysis should run quickly so you can check outcomes and deliver changes as required from test feedback. It should also be able to easily test units in isolation rather than testing system as a whole.

You can start by downloading jcoverage/gpl, our free code coverage tool. Get started and see how much of your code is being covered by tests.

Once you have seen what our free coverage tool can do for you, why not use the fully supported jcoverage commercial edition.

Where your testing is less than adequate, you can improve your test quality and coverage through the use of our mock object technologies, included in our flagship product jcoverage+.

jcoverage+ includes our standard jcoverage technologies and introduces more rigour and finer granularity to your testing, allowing you to simulate and test for scenarios that otherwise would be impossible to test automatically.

Enterprise Java Community: The Power of JAAS: Security System Alternatives

Enterprise Java Community: The Power of JAAS: Security System Alternatives

Purpose

I attended the CIO Forum a several months ago and sat in on a presentation on Identity Management, which is considered by C-level executives one of the hot technologies. From a C-level executive’s perspective, this presentation falls generally under the domain of Identity Management. At the Forum, the speaker briefly discussed RBAC (Role Base Access Control) and anecdotally mentioned that it is a “hard nut to crack.”

This article is an extension of a recent article I published on TheServerSide.com, Exploring J2EE Security for Applications using LDAP. That article identified key interfaces within a J2EE compliant application server that need to be configured in order to build secure applications focusing on RBAC, which is an integral part of Identity Management.

However, the article did not discuss, in detail, alternatives to using LDAP directly for Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) security, such as a Trust Association, one of the more popular system alternatives. Essentially, the power of JAAS is in its ability to use almost any underlying security system. One of those approaches is to use a Trust Association Interceptor (TAI) instead of direct LDAP access.

aisland: Home

aisland: Home: "AIsland's goal is to provide a framework to build and distribute agents.

The framework exposes objects (graphic module, audio module, neural network, fuzzy logic ...)
to an agent developer, who can glue these modules together using a scripting language, initally JavaScript.

Mobile Agents travel between different AIslands. If an Agent requests a module unknown to an AIsland,
the platform will ask the user for permission to load code from another peer. AIslands can persist trust relationships.

The inital version builds on Java and fat clients, facilitating a Java Swing GUI and a BSF/ Rhino engine,
to script against modules sitting on an JMX component bus hosted by an Avalon based micro kernel.

A port to small devices (J2ME - Java phones) is a future option.

An Agent is represented by an XML document and is distributed as a JXTA Codat.
Agents contain script code, which is interpreted by an AIsland (a JXTA peer) in a secure manner.
Host file systems are protected against malicious agents.

Agents and AIslands communicate using JXTA.
Network access through proxies for HTTP (SOAP) and SMTP is supported as well."

Hive

Hive: "Hive is a Java software platform for creating distributed applications. Using Hive, programmers can easily create systems that connect and use data from all over the Internet. At its heart, Hive is an environment for distributed agents to live, communicating and moving to fulfill applications. We are trying to make the Internet alive."
