WWW (Which Wolf Wins?) 1970-01-01 00:59:59 A valuable story...One evening an old grandfather told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.He said, "My son, there is a battle between two wolves inside all of us. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret,greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false, pride, superiority, and ego.The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather,"Which wolf wins?"The old grandfather simply replied, "The one you feed."

The 20 dollar's bill 1970-01-01 00:59:59 This is a story with a valuable advice which I read today.A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked:"Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up. He said: "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up.He then asked: "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. "Well," he replied, "what if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air."My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20.Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no mat

[JBoss 4] How to change port 8080 in JBoss? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 With default configurations, JBoss listens on port 8080 for web connections. But this can be changed easily as this port is defined in an configuration xml file.This is how port 8080 is changed on JBoss 4.1. Goto the deploy folder of the server instance you use.2. Goto the jbossweb-tomcat55.sar inside that deploy folder.3. Find the file named server.xml inside that folder.

This change wiill be available when JBoss is restarted.
What is ACID? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 In database world, ACID is an acronym. It stands for; Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation and Durability. Databases should have these four features for them to become a reliable databases. All of these four features relate with transactions.Atomicity: A transaction has to be completely commited or roll-backed, a portion of the transaction should not be committed to the database due to any issue even on a hardware failure. Consistancy:After any transaction the data in the database should be correct and vailid according to the requirements. Database should not be having any illegal data after a transaction.Isolation:When two or more transactions exists, one's behaviour should not give invalid data for the other transaction. That is, when one transaction is in progress, the data alterations made by that transaction should not be visible to any other transactions. Durability:After the commit operation is aknowledged by the database, the data inside that transaction should not be lost. The u

[UNIX Tips] Learn tar utility in 5 minutes 1970-01-01 00:59:59 tar is a facility in Linux that creates archived file using a set of files. One file will be created that contains all the files in it. But do not get misunderstand, ".tar" file is not a compressed file. It is only a collection of files within a single uncompressed file. TAR1. Create tar archive $ tar -cf tarFileName.tar file1 file2 file3This will create an achive named tarFileName.tar and that will include the files specified there (ie: file1, file2, file3).2.

Extract tar archive $ tar -xf tarFileName.tarThis will extract the archive and create the files that were inside the archive.The above options have the meanings as:c - create an archivef - archive filet - list the content of the archivex - extract an archiveGZIPIf the file is a ".tar.gz" or ".tgz" file it is a collection of files that is compressed.

"I tried" Vs "I did" 1970-01-01 00:59:59 < in a court >Judge : You have tried
to kill him, and trying to kill is same as killing. So you have done a crime. I demand you to pay money of Rs: 1,000,000/=. (Verdict thinks for a while.... Put his hand into his bag. Count cash and take Rs: 1,000,000/= to his hand and try to give it to the officer who waits to collect money. Then puts that money back into his bag).Judge : Why? Don't you pay money? You have to pay it !Verdict: (Softly) I tried to give him the money which is same as giving money.Judge: (puzzled !!!!)Even though this story is a bit debatable, there's something to learn.I think TRYING IS CONSIDERABLE, BUT NOT IMPORTANT AS MUCH AS DOING SOMETHING.So better to avoid saying "Yes I tried, but ...".Say "Yes, I did it".What do you feel?

[JBoss] Logging JBoss CMP SQL 1970-01-01 00:59:59 In many occassions developers tend to get errors when calling the CMP finders. The best method to fix such issues is to view the generated SQL
queries, as it's easy to understand the error in terms of general SQL rather than looking at the EJB-QLs.With the help of log4j, CMP generated SQLs can be logged into a file as follows.1. Goto the conf folder inside your server instance.2. Open the log4j.xml file and add the following two entries to it.<appender name="CMP"> <errorHandler/> <layout/> <layout> <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %-5p [%c] %m%n"/> </layout> </appender><category name="org.jboss.ejb.plugins.cmp"> <priority value="DEBUG" /> <appender-ref ref="CMP"/></category>With the above given entries, a file named cmpSQL.log will be created inside the log folder. SQLs send to the server will be logged into this file. If required, name and place of the log file can be

It's about 1 1/2 months now in my new world.

Do not complain on what you haven't got 1970-01-01 00:59:59 As human beings we always tend to complain
on what we haven't got. Many people forget to appreciate the things that they have received; even they forget that they have so much to appreciate on their living status than looking at the negative sides.For example think how you feel when your (expensive) meals are little less tasty than how it used to be. You get so annoyed, right? Have a look at the following images as they tell a lot on the above topic.See how much you are fortunate to have this type of a life (even having a chance to have access to computers to do internet surfing while some people do not have a chance to get a drop of water.(I have no idea on who is the owner of these images, but thanks for the nice images).
Setting Java classpath option with spaces and quotes under Windows® 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Java provides two methods for setting paths of the classes.1. Set the command line option
classpath2. Set the CLASSPATH environment variableThe second option is easy, but has a draw back as a common CLASSPATH is shared within all the projects and classes, which makes it harder to test different projects with different classes.So the first option is the prefered way. It is used as;java -classpath first.jar;second.jar TestClientWhen the paths to the jar files have spaces
, the command line classpath option causes errors. Under Windows
installation like 2000/NT/XP, all the users get a folder with the user name under a folder named "Documents and Setting
s" (which has a space). And if the jar files are under the user folder, path would look like "C:/Documents and Settings/someUser/.." which would cause the above error.How to over come this issue1. Put quotes and group the whole class pathjava -classpath "C:/Documents and Settings/user/project/lib/axis.jar; C:/Documents and Settings/user/proj
Margin Vs Padding - CSS Properties 1970-01-01 00:59:59 CSS provides two properties named margin and padding for keeping space between HTML Box type elements. But why do we have two properties for the same reason? Are they similar?No. They have a main difference.Padding
- defines space between border and element content Margin
- defines space between border and other outer elements(Look at the above diagram)So when elements needs space between them, better to use margins. When text or an inner element needs space between the parent box and itself go for paddings.Look at this example for visual clarification generated with this code.<divpadding: 0px;margin: 0px; background: #00aa00;"> Text inside elementText inside elementIn the first <div>, space is set between the border and outside elements but in the second one it is between the boder and text.Hope this will help.
