 Editor's Daily BlogWelcome to the Portlet CommunityPosted by daniel on November 23, 2004 at 05:34 AM | Comments (0)J2EE based portals, JSR 168, and WSRP In today's Weblogs, Navaneeth Krishnan announces the new Portlet community. He says that it "is an online community of developers and technical experts working on JSR 168, WSRP and other technologies related to enterprise portals." He hopes to create a repository of open source portlets and couple that with the sharing of information among portlet developers. In other weblogs, what if invalid patents were a form of fraud? That's Ken Arnold's question in Self-enforcing Patent Sanity. He explains that he models his suggestion "on "whistle-blower" laws that encourage private citizens to ferret out fraud against the government by giving successful ferreters a chunk of the recovered money. This means that the gov't itself doesn't have to do anything to ensure that a bunch of investigators are always looking for fraud against it. If someone has a good case, the perps pay the investigator. And it also keeps the number of frivolous fraud suits down, because a frivolous fraud suit gets you nothing." Jayson Falkner answers the question Help me make code that is a webapp, uses a DB, and is secure. "What are the things I should keep in mind when making a secure website? This particular question was from a person who was considering using Java or Python, but the important stuff really doesn't rely on a particular programming language. If you are green, take a peek. If you know your stuff, fill in what I missed." In Also
in Java Today , the newly launched java.net Portlet community
features an introduction by Navaneeth to
Inter-portlet communication. He shows how to use
Some of the new features in Tiger are in the utility classes that you use without revisiting. In the Core Java Tech Tip What's new in Math class you will be introduced to the new hyperbolic trigonometry methods sinh(), cosh(), and tanh(). Also added are a new cube root method cbrt(), a base ten logarithm log10(), and a method for calculating the square root of the sum of the squares of two numbers hypot(). In Projects and Communities, Daniel Brookshier blogs about New projects in Education and Learning Community . Additions include resources for learning Tapestry, e-learning software, how-tos for Linux system admin, and a meeting oriented personal organizer. The Jini Community project JGrid offers a grid-computing framework that uses Jini to discover and coordinate grid participants. The project was recently featured in an ECRIM News article, which notes that JGrid supports wide-area discovery to find grid services on the internet. What parts of Java should be developed by Sun and what parts by the community? In today's Forums cowwoc writes "Sun might want to consider publicizing its own "wish list" of things it would like the community to step in and develop -- as opposed to things the community would like Sun to step in and develop. We should draw a clear line between things only Sun can develop (core Java stuff, legal issues, etc) and stuff that the open-source community can develop. The wish-list should consist of "things that are vital to the future of Java" and then we'd prioritize the issues and categorize them as 'Sun will handle this' or 'The community will handle this'. " Dondi_Imperial writes "I want to see Java be the first (i think) mainstream programming language to treat functions as first class objects. I think now that java 5 supports dynamic instrumentation this will be possible (easy?) to implement, this in a type safe manner, in Mustang." In today's java.net News Headlines :
