Generating PDF Documents With Java CAPS
This tutorial will go through how to create a PDF document in Java CAPS. To create the PDF document, we will use an Open Office document as the template and then use Open Office to generate the PDF with calls from Java CAPS.
This is handy in generating automated letters or reports and rather than using a flat file allows you to add a little formatting to your report.
This example is used to generate a PDF document, but you can use the same call to generate Microsoft Word Documents, HTML pages, RTF pages and other numerous outputs. The differences are only a single parameter value which will be indicated in the tutorial.
The tutorial can be found here.

Installing MySQL on Open Solaris
I've been having a play around with MySQL on windows, and I thought why not try to get it up and running on OpenSolaris. This tutorial is the result.
MySQL Communitity edition is freely downloadable and can be used for any purpose.
I'm not going to write a tutorial on how to use MySQL with Java CAPS, a colleage of mine, Michael Czapski has already written an excellent one which can be found here.

Configuring the Alert Agent
I've been playing around with the Alert Agent in Java CAPS trying to get it working. Had all sorts of trouble, and it turned out that all I had done wrong was enter the host name of the Glassfish server wrong. The Alert Agent requires a fully qualified host name in correct case (Thanks to Health IQ for the tip).
This is probably mentioned in the manual for the Alert Agent, but who reads manuals :-P
I've put together this tutorial so that others will not run into the same problems that I have.

LDAP Configuration for Repository and Enterprise Manager
An LDAP server is usefull in a number of ways. For user management, it allows you to manage usernames/passwords and access rights from a central location.
Java CAPS by default has its own method for keeping track of users, but it can hook into an LDAP repository for user management. This document goes through configuring the Repository and the Enterprise Manager for user management through the Sun Java Directory Server.

Worklist Manager Sample Implementation
I had troubles finding an example implementation of the Worklist Manager for Java CAPS 6. There was one that came with the Version 5.1.3 manual, but none for 6. So I updated it.
This document goes through step by step on implementing a Worklist Manager example.
