The Thing That Should Not Be
All things come to an end, and so do old software. By removing the older version of the EOL version 4.0 of MySQL from OpenSolaris, we encourage users to go on to 5.0. From build 79 MySQL 5.0 is now integrated into OpenSolaris. Btw, MySQL 4.0 will not go away unless the ARC case is accepted of course.

Escape
Using SecurityManager with Java and Socket's is not always as easy as it first seems. You would think that when creating a DatagramChannel and operating on that (ie send and receive), you will get the SecurityException if you don't have the right permissions. But no, you have in fact to an explicit check for the permissions you need like this:
SecurityManager security = System.getSecurityManager();
if (security != null) {
security.checkXXX(argument, . . . );
}
And it is the calling Thread that should be checked before doing a DatagramChannel.receive call as this call will hang forever if it doesn't have the right permissions.

Hi, I work in the Database Technology Group at Sun Microsystems, and I am located in Trondheim, Norway. I'm currently working with HADB. I'm also doing some work on the OpenSolaris Webstack project with integrating MySQL into OpenSolaris.
