Torquebox and Cygwin don’t work as nicely together as one might hope. That said, here are a couple of findings: In order to deploy, you need to set the $JBOSS_HOME with the Windows path. You can do this via export JBOSS_PATH=cygpath -w PATH_TO_JBOSS. Additionally, the JRUBY_HOME needs to be a windows path as well. Otherwise …

JBoss port confusion
Sometimes, JBoss reports that it is unable to bind to a port, saying it is already in use. However, this is not always the case.

SSL Joys
The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from. Andrew S. Tanenbaum I’ve been working with a Apache proxy to force SSL and https.

SSL and Java Keystores

Concatenation Note to Self

That said, I discovered lastnight / this morning that there are some quirks with its updating through the Flash JavaScript Integration Kit. …

|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
# Wait until the background process exits WAIT_STATUS=0 while [ "$WAIT_STATUS" -ne 127 ]; do JBOSS_STATUS=$WAIT_STATUS wait $JBOSS_PID 2>/dev/null WAIT_STATUS=$? done |
This is all well and good in linux — redhat uses /bin/bash and ubuntu uses /bin/dash for /bin/sh — …

Class is Class, and Instance, Instance, and never the twain shall meet
More about methods, it’s inspired/spurred by a comment on methods, public_methods, and private_methods by Pit Captain. It also corrects some misconceptions I had (and may have (wrongly) given others). I’ve added a new category, “eating crow” for this and any other postings where I step back and re-evaluate my posts. This is to keep me …
