Learn how GlassFish
and NetBeans
helped Ginga community
to build a TV Banking application in Brazil. See a live demo of the
product, it's really exciting!
Why GlassFish ? - They love how NetBeans tooling completely hides the
complexity of what's happening underneath and the ease-of-use with
GlassFish.
Thanks Hugo Lavalle for the interview and good luck with your product!

I presented on "Creating
powerful web applications using GlassFish, MySQL and NetBeans/Eclipse"
as the first talk of FISL 10 yesterday. The room was only partial full
being the first talk of FISL but got packed towards the middle so that
was exciting. The slides are available here.
The key message is that NetBeans
and Eclipse
provide a seamless development/deployment environment for GlassFish.
The several demos shown in the talk are explained at:
- CRUD operations using NetBeans, JPA and MySQL
- Publish MySQL Table as a RESTful Web service
- Develop, Deploy and Debug Rails Application on GlassFish using NetBeans
- GlassFish Tools Bundle for Eclipse
- End-to-end problem solving using GlassFish v3 + MySQL DTrace probes
- GlassFish Price/Performance Advantage
The soccer balls at the Sun booth in the pavilion were quite a hit as evident by the video below:
Come by again at Sun booth until the end of conference to get one for yourself :)
There were booths from Debian, Gnome, Firefox, Fedora and a host of other open source projects. There were community booths from local Java User Groups, Linux User Group, Open Solaris User Group and similar efforts. Some government and financial companies that heavily use/promote open source products were also present. And then there were other commercial vendors as well!
Some attendees were playing musical instruments to the local tunes which added to the festive atmosphere in the exhibitor floor. Enjoy the video below:
The day ended with great food at Na Brasa Churrascaria, love the caipirinhas!

GlassFish swimming to FISL, Brazil
 |
FISL stands for "Forum Internacional Software Livre" in
the Portuguese language and means "International Free Software Forum"
in the English language. The punch line is "A technologia que liberta"
and means "The technology that liberates". This is the biggest event about free software in America and was attended by 7417 participants in 2008. |
Just like "Freedom of Speech" is a basic human right, "Freedom of Software" is a basic right for the technology evolution. GlassFish gives you the freedom:
- To Pick your own framework: Java EE, Ruby-on-Rails, Python/Django, Groovy/Grails, or any other
- Choose your IDE: NetBeans, Eclipse, IntelliJ and others.
- Over properietary Application Servers by providing highly reliable and production quality features like
- Clustering/Load balancing
- Secure, Reliable, and Transactional, and .NET-interoperable Web services stack (Metro)
- Easy-to-use web-based administration
console along with a powerful CLI
- Offers dual open-source license (CDDL or GPL v2 w/ CPE)
Together, GlassFish, NetBeans/Eclipse, and MySQL liberates you from the vendor lock-in by offering you a compelling choice.
At FISL 10, learn how GlassFish, NetBeans/Eclipse, and MySQL provide a powerful feature-rich yet easy to use platform for developing/deploying your web applications. The complete details about the session are available here. I plan to show multiple demos during the talk that you may find useful in your regular work.
Where ? Porto Alegre, Brazil
When ? Jun 24-27, 2009
Click on the map below for coordinates of the venue:
Join the Facebook Group or follow on Twitter @fisl10.
Close to 6000 attendees have registered for FISL so far and am definitely looking forward to feel/enjoy the Brazilian spirit.

TOTD #82: Getting Started with Servlet 3.0 and EJB 3.1 in Java EE 6 using NetBeans 6.7
EJB 3.1 (JSR
318) and Servlet 3.0 (JSR 315)
are the two new JSRs in Java EE 6 (JSR 316).
The EJB 3.1 specification provides multiple new features such as WAR
packaging, Optional
Local Business Interfaces, EJB.lite, Portable
Global JNDI Names, Singleton
Session Beans
(Container-managed and Bean-managed concurrency), Application
Initialization and Shutdown events, Timer Service enhancements,
Simple/Light-weight Asynchrony, and many other features defined in the specification.
The
Servlet 3.0 specification is an update to Servlet 2.5 and focuses on
ease-of-use. It also adds several new features such as "web.xml"
free
deployment (mostly), Dynamic Registration of
servlets/filters,
Pluggability
of frameworks using "web-fragment.xml", Asynchronous API,
Security
enhancements (Constraints via annotations, programmatic
container authentication and logout), and several other miscellaneous
additions like default error page, file upload, etc.
GlassFish v3
provides the most complete implementation of EJB 3.1 and Servlet 3.0
along with other Java EE 6 specifications. This Tip Of The Day (TOTD) will show
how to create a simple EJB and invoke it from a Servlet, all in a
deployment-descriptor free way.
- Enable support for v3 Preview in NetBeans
- Using NetBeans 6.7 latest nightly, enable support for recent GlassFish v3 builds either using the command-line switch or the marker module.
- Download and unzip GlassFish v3 Preview 47b. The latest promoted builds are always available here.
- In the "Services" tab, right-click on "Servers" and click
on "Add Server". Select "GlassFish v3" as shown below:
and click on "Next". - Specify location of the previously unzipped bundle, click on "Next >", and press "Finish".
- Create a new Web project by right-click in the "Projects" pane, select "New Project", choose "Java Web" and "Web Application" as categories and projects.
- Click on "Next >", choose "Java EE 5" as the Java EE version and click on "Finish". A future version of NetBeans will will provide direct support for Java EE 6.
- Add a POJO-based EJB
- Right-click on "Source Packages" and select "New", "Java
Class..." as shown below:
Give the class name as "HelloEJB" and package as "server" as shown below:
and click on "Finish". - Add "@Stateless" class-level annotation and press Shift+Command+I (default shortcut) to fix the imports. This annotation comes from the "javax.ejb" package.
- Add the following method:
public String sayHello(String name) {
return "Hello " + name;
}
to the class. And can you believe it, that's your complete EJB ready to be deployed and that too in a WAR file - the beauty of Java EE 6. The complete class looks like:
package server;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;
/**
* @author arungupta
*/
@Stateless
public class HelloEJB {
public String sayHello(String name) {
return "Hello " + name;
}
}
- Add a Servlet to invoke this EJB
- Add a new class "HelloServlet" in the "server" package as explained above.
- Add
"@WebServlet" class-level annotation and Shift+Command+I to fix the
imports. This annotation comes from the "javax.servlet.annotation"
package. And specify a URL pattern as:
@WebServlet(urlPatterns="/hello") - According to the Servlet3 specification, the contract is
inherited from the "javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet" interface. So add:
extends HttpServlet
to the class. - Inject a local EJB reference using the code:
@EJB HelloEJB ejbClient; - Override the GET method as:
@Override
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws IOException {
res.setContentType("text/html");
res.getOutputStream().print("<h1>Hosted at: " + req.getContextPath() + "</h1>");
res.getOutputStream().print("<h2>" + ejbClient.sayHello("Duke") + "</h2>");
}
and again Shift+Command+I to fix the imports. The complete class looks like:
package server;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.ejb.EJB;
import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
/**
* @author arungupta
*/
@WebServlet(urlPatterns="/hello")
public class HelloServlet extends HttpServlet {
@EJB HelloEJB ejbClient;
@Override
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws IOException {
res.setContentType("text/html");
res.getOutputStream().print("<h1>Hosted at: " + req.getContextPath() + "</h1>");
res.getOutputStream().print("<h2>" + ejbClient.sayHello("Duke") + "</h2>");
}
}
Lets run the project by right-click on the project and select "Run". The web application is deployed to GlassFish v3 Preview 47b and "http://localhost:8080/WebApplication1" shows the default "index.jsp" created by the IDE.
Our servlet is accessible at "http://localhost:8080/WebApplication1/hello" and shows the output as:
The directory of the generated WAR file looks like:
As evident "WEB-INF/classes" has only two POJO classes and yet this is a Java EE 6 application.
So we created a trivial Java EE 6 application using Servlet 3 and EJB 3.1 APIs and deployed successfully on GlassFish v3 Preview 47b using NetBeans 6.7.
Please leave suggestions on other TOTD (Tip Of The Day) that you'd like to see. A complete archive of all the tips is available here.

Rails Conf 2009 Day 2 Trip Report
This is a follow up post from David's
keynote.
 |
Attended Women
in Rails
panel discussion. The panel, Sarah
Mei, Lori
Olson, and Desi
McAdam (from L to R), had a very interesting discussion
around
the genuine problems and possible solutions of involving more women in
Rails community. |
Sarah is trying to involve more women in the San Francisco Ruby meetup. She plans to invite non-traditional audience like those who never programmed before, other language programmers, and similar. The details will be shared after performing the exercise for a year. Lori started Calgary Ruby Group. She do lot of self promotion so that younger women feel inspired. Desi is a co-founder of devChix with the purpose of "build a community of women developers". All the panelists were very vocal about being visible, having a blog and twitter presence is a good start.
Here are some random notes captured ...
Women drop out because of kids, try to get a job and then come back with a gap in the resume. It's difficult to get a new job at that time. Sarah is trying to reach out to that group who have that gap in their resume.
Visbility is important "She did that, I can do too!".
Data point: Women % in Rails community is much less than in other development community, e.g. Java or .NET world.
Another data point: % of women is more in larger companies, not in smaller companies. The reason is facilities like maternity leave, training (don't have evening hours to train themselves, can't sacrifice family time), etc.
Real stats from 2006: Women participation in open source community is 2-3%, 20-25% in "enterprise"
Appeal from the panelist "Guys, help us, tell .NET developer that Rails is not all guys, spread the word.".
Here are some Q&As captured:
Q. Should women be given free/discounted tickets to RailsConf ?
A. If women can't pay for it, then devChix can help them. RailsConf have helped before. It'll help if childcare is available.
Q. Why are we only looking at CS ? Why not other areas who have the development skills ?
A. Panel do reach out to multiple audience and seeks help from everybody in spreading the word. Women will be working on JavaScript and thinks she is designer. A guy will read 3 blog entries and thinks he is developer. There is a market salary differential between designer and developer. Women need to be more public about their programming status.
Q. Women won't present themselves as something they are not confident because they'll be called upon. How do you fix it ?
A. Everybody is learning. David's comment "I don't know everything in Rails" was commended. Girls need to know if it's important then they can figure it out. They are scared of messing the impression of their gender.
And of course there was a discussion on "Pr0ngate scandal":
Sarah: Matt is not a bad guy, he made a mistake that lot of people make in software development. If 1 out of 100 does not match the pattern of software developer, then that "1" may not be a software developer. The organizers of the conference did not do anything wrong. I voted for the talk and trust the judgement of the people. A negative feeling started developing but don't want to see that honestly. We learned something from it. As a relatively young community, this was bound to happen.
Lori: Not from the presentation itself but form the community reaction to this event. Blown out of proportion because of the same reasons when there is a conflict with developers in same company. You can't argue with somebody regarding how they feel. Can have a discussion, but argument is never going to be a win for anyone. That's where the community reaction devolved.
Desi: If Matt would've said "Oh Crap, I offended and wouldnt mean to offend you.", everything would've been fine. To David: "Next time, do us a favor and keep your mouth shut. It didn't help."
I was certainly expecting many more women to show up in the room but there were very few. Anyway, read Desi's blog entry about the panel. And I reached out to all three of them for helping in any manner :)

MySQL Users Conference 2009 Day 2
I presented on Creating
Quick and Powerful Web Applications with MySQL, GlassFish, and NetBeans.
The key messages conveyed during the preso are:
- GlassFish is an open source community and delivers production-quality Java EE compliant Application Server.
- GlassFish v2 is the Java EE 5 Reference Implementation and GlassFish v3 for Java EE 6. Read complete difference here.
- Java Persistence API makes it really easy to create database-backed Web applications. It even creates MySQL-specific queries, when possible.
- The web-based administration console and CLI are powerful GlassFish management tools that meets the need of any IT administrator.
- NetBeans provides comprehensive and seamlessly integrated tooling for GlassFish. The goal is to make the Eclipse tooling at par with NetBeans.
And then notes from some of the sessions I attended:
State of the Dolphin
- 12+ million users, 70k downloads/day, 1100 MySQL Partners
- Multiple platforms: LAMP, Windows, Mac, OpenSolaris, Solaris, RedHat, Suse, Ubuntu
- Multiple Languages: php, Perl, Python, Ruby, Java, C, C++, C#
- MySQL 5.1: 3 million downloads in 100 days
- MySQL 5.4 announced: InnoDB Scalalbility, Sub-query optimizations, 59% faster than 5.1, 40% improvement in read/write test, 71% throughput increase
- InnoDB: Fast index creation (add/drop indexes w/o copying the data), Data compression (shrink tables, to significantly reduce storage and i/o)
- Embedded InnoDB (announced today): Proven high-performance and reliability and functionality of InnoDB, low-level but powerful non-SQL API for app programmers, operational characteristics needed for stand-alone apps where there is no DBA
- Dr DBA was awarded "Acquirer of the Year: Oracle" :-)
- MySQL Cluster 7.0: 99.999% availability, 4.3x higher throughput, 140k+ TPM and 4x less power and consumption than 6.3
- MySQL
Query Analyzer: Continuous query monitoring, find and fix problem SQL
code, historical and real-time analysis, drill down into execution
statistics
InnoDB: Innovative Technologies for Performance and Data Protection
- Dr Heikki Tuuri, was professor at Helsinki, founded Innobase, got acquired by Oracle
- Performance and Data Integrity are basic features
- Architected and written by one person
- Full transaction support, Unlimited row-level locking, multi-version read-consistency, automatic deadlock detection
- Innovative: adaptive hash indexes, insert buffer (performance benefits), doublewrite buffer, InnoDB plugin
- Oracle/Innobase + Sun/MySQL
- Goals
- Pluggable/Infrastructure Aware
- Community Developed
- Multicore/Concurrency (load up 10,000 connections in db)
- Focus on Web applications/enable others
- Modernize codebase for manageability (currently C/C++, can we reuse STL and other libraries)
- Philosophies
- Have open and well-documented interfaces
- Have transparent goals and processes, that are communicated publicly
- Have fun and encourage collaboration
- Remove barriers to contribution and participation for everyone
- Enable contributors to build a business around Drizzle
- Drizzle announced at OSCON last year
- Translated into 30+ languages since then
- 7% of developers are from Sun
- 100+ contributors (>500 on the mailing list), even Postgres and Firebird developers \
- Cirrus available now, Aloha next
- Drizzle Developer Day 2009 scheduled this Friday
- No patches are contributed back to MySQL Enterprise
- Will be ready for production deployment Jun 2010
- References
- David Berube: Apress books on "Author Practical Ruby Gems", "Practical Rails Plugins", "Practical Reporting with Ruby on Rails"
- Finding performance issues in Rails
- Rails development log
- eabe_db_tools: Ajax popup- displays query count, query each time for a each query on a page. Will be available on github next week.
- mysql_slow_log
- Is it a database problem: Firebug, YSlow, Ping, tracert, etc.
- Let the database do the heavy lifting instead of Ruby: for example, don't sort in Ruby
- Deep eager loading: don't load that is not required
- Use built-int Rails grouping and aggregate functions
- Caching: simple ootb caching, Cache Fu, MySQL triggers for DB function caching, Rails triggers for other caching
And you can always read the complete case study.

Silicon Valley Rails Meetup, Mar 2009 - Slides & Pics
I presented at Silicon Valley Rails Meetup yesterday.
The official attendance says 79 and the kitchen area (for the
presentation) was indeed packed!
The
demo gods were hovering very much around and required me to reboot the
machine - live during the presentation. Have you ever rebooted Mac
because of a slow performance, smack in the middle of a demo ? ;-)
Here is a quote from the meetup:
The big win with
glassfish is that it gives you the same environment in deployment and
development.
The slides are available here.
And some pointers to get more information:
And another one ...
Thanks to Michael and Jerry for being the wonderful hosts!
Drop a comment on this blog if you are using GlassFish for your Rails/Merb/Sinatra/... deployments.
