SmartFrog is a powerful and flexible Java-based software framework for configuring, deploying and managing distributed software systems.
SmartFrog helps you to encapsulate and manage systems so they are easy to configure and reconfigure, and so that that they can be automatically installed, started and shut down. It provides orchestration capabilities so that subsystems can be started (and stopped) in the right order. It also helps you to detect and recover from failures.
Such systems typically have multiple software components running across a network of computing resources, where the components must work together to deliver the functionality of the system as a whole. It's critical that the right components are running in the right places, that the components are individually and collectively correctly configured, and that they are correctly combined to create the complete system. This profile fits many of the services and applications that run on today's computing infrastructures.
SmartFrog consists of:
A Language for defining configurations, providing powerful system modelling capabilities and an expressive notation for describing system configurations
A secure, distributed Runtime System for deploying software components and managing running software systems
A Library of SmartFrog Components that implement the SmartFrog component model and provide a wide range of services and functionality
Java applications are typically deployed in multiple environments and platforms, each requiring some unique configuration. JFig gives developers a simple yet powerful tool to manage their applications’ configuration. It allows them to:
1. Store application configuration in one common repository of XML files
2. Access configuration data using one common, convenient interface
3. Easily define multiple configurations, dynamically modifying those variables that need to change in different situations
4. Eliminate the error prone practice of defining the same configuration variables in multiple locations
5. Ease the management, deployment, and control of configuration files
COLUMBUS is a collection of programs for high-level ab initio molecular electronic structure calculations. The programs are designed primarily for extended multi-reference (MR) calculations on electronic ground and excited states of atoms and molecules.
It has long been known that classical Erdös-Renyi random graphs are rather limited in the types of degree distributions they can produce. The degree of any given node follows a binomial distribution, which goes over into a Poisson distribution in the sparse limit. In contrast, many real-world networks possess power law degree sequences that would…
This mini-HowTo assumes that you’re running Debian Unstable (Sid), but it should also work if you’re using Testing or even Ubuntu. It also assumes you’re doing all these steps as root.
THIS IS THE ULTIMATE SOURCE! (KG) "Now that Etch has come to a rest and has frozen, and nVIDIA has been updating its own binary Linux driver, installing nVIDIA on Etch is now just as cake as it was in Sarge. This brief tutorial will include 2 common methods for installing nVIDIA's Linux driver. They are both very simple and each will have its pro's and con's. You could try each way and decide later which suits your computing style, your kung-fu, best. Me, I always do things the hard way 'cos that's the way I dig it."
The java configurator located under org.policy.config is a powerful way of intializing a system. In addition, it is possible to load the application with different properties and even with a completely different functionality without having to recompile the code. This HOW-TO describes how this configurator can be used.
In this article I will present some configuration tips for the Spring MVC framework that could help you manage multiple instances of your Spring-based web application. T
Scmbug integrates software configuration management (SCM) with bug-tracking. It aims to solve the integration problem once and for all. It will glue any source code version control system (such as CVS/CVSNT, Subversion, and Git) with any bug tracking system (such as Bugzilla, Mantis, Request Tracker, Test Director).
Simple is a high performance XML serialization and configuration framework for Java. Its goal is to provide an XML framework that enables rapid development of XML configuration and communication systems. This framework aids the development of XML systems with minimal effort and reduced errors. It offers full object serialization and deserialization, maintaining each reference encountered. In essence it is similar to C# XML serialization for the Java platform, but offers additional features for interception and manipulation.
Mastering J2EE can be daunting, with an ever-growing list of technologies and acronyms. The Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) has been at the core of the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) from its inception, but it is often underutilized by novice J2EE developers. This article will help demystify the role of JNDI in J2EE applications and show how it can help decouple your application from the details of deployment.
