Spring Framework - Two Articles on Form Validation with DWR and AJAX

Spring Framework - Two Articles on Form Validation with DWR and AJAX
Submitted by Colin Sampaleanu on Thu, 2007-04-19 23:09. Technical Article
Using AJAX (via DWR) to perform client-side validation is a useful technique that allows the implementation of both client side and server side form validation, while actually using the same (server-side) validators for both task. Here are a couple of articles that describe this technique.
Generic Validator for Spring MVC and DWR by Jose Noheda, shows one approach. His validators work off annotations in the objects to be validated (this is somewhat orthogonal to the question of validating remotely).

Oracle 9i - How to add missing partitions

Assume, We need to insert missing partition as new partition with Oracle Range Partition.

Here is the simple example for that.

create table karth_test (a date,data char(10))
partition by range(a)
( partition p1 values less than (to_date('2007-01-01','YYYY-MM-DD')),
partition p2 values less than (to_date('2007-02-01','YYYY-MM-DD')),
partition p4 values less than (to_date('2007-04-01','YYYY-MM-DD'))
)

select partition_name pname, high_value from user_tab_partitions
where table_name ='KARTH_TEST' order by partition_name

alter table KARTH_TEST add partition p3 values less than (TO_DATE('2007-03-01','YYYY-MM-DD'))

-- Above statement raises ORA-14074: partition bound must collate higher than that of the last partition.

-- We can execute following statement to overcome above error

Alter table KARTH_TEST split partition p4 at (TO_DATE('2007-03-01','YYYY-MM-DD'))
into (partition p3, partition p4)

Drop table KARTH_TEST

Introduction to OpenTerracotta - From InfoQ

Orion Letizi posted nice article in www.infoq.com
Java applications are easiest to write and test when they run in a single JVM. However, the requirements to make applications scalable and highly available have forced Java applications to run on more than one JVM. In this article, we introduce OpenTerracotta, an enterprise-class, open-source JVM-level clustering solution. Read more

Dynamic DataSource Routing - Spring 2.0.1

Spring 2.0.1 introduced an AbstractRoutingDataSource.

Java - Sorting Algorithms

The animations on this URL illustrate a number of different sequential and parallel sorting algorithms. The relative execution times of the animations give a very rough idea of the relative speeds of the algorithms. Each algorithm is finished when its colored lines disappear.

To see animation, you need Java Runtime Enviroment.

Nagios

Nagios is a host and service monitor designed to inform you of network problems before your clients, end-users or managers do. It has been designed to run under the Linux operating system, but works fine under most *NIX variants as well. The monitoring daemon runs intermittent checks on hosts and services you specify using external "plugins" which return status information to Nagios. When problems are encountered, the daemon can send notifications out to administrative contacts in a variety of different ways (email, instant message, SMS, etc.). Current status information, historical logs, and reports can all be accessed via a web browser.
