JSF 2.0 team seeks community input on prioritizing issues
Ed Burns is putting out a call for input on which JSF 2.0 issues are most important. " We have 37
open spec issues, not including some ones floating around on the EG

20

FOJSF Yara Senger. If you care
to help, please look at those hard
issues and use the java.net “vote for this issue”
feature to help us choose which of those hard ones to do first."

Bye bye, Mac OS X?
This week I can officially say that - at the moment - Mac OS X is no longer my primary operating system. My primary operating system is where I more often work and read the email, so since I've switched from Apple Mail to Thunderbird now I mostly work on Linux. —

Re: @PreDestroy
This will not work reliably. There is no guarantee that PreDestroy methods will be called when your application is undeployed or shutdown, which is probably what you want. I tried to do exactly the same thing you did - but PreDestroy is not guaranteed to work that way. I solved the problem by implementing a lifecycle listener. This gets notified by the app server of lifecycle events such as startup and shutdown. —
How does an EJB invocation from outside glassfish get assigned roles?
I've got a situation where one glassfish instance (external front end) hosting a web deployment is talking to another glassfish hosting ejbs and the same web deployment (internal front end). The internal web works just fine talking to its ejbs, but the external one can't call the ejbs, although the calls are making it through to the ejb tier, the backend is refusing them with "javax.ejb.AccessLocalException: Client not authorized for this invocation" (logged in the glassfish instance hosting the ejbs). —
Re: Java Runtime Settings not remembered?
That's b31 I just downloaded and installed. The icon always shows and the blue flash always occurs. It maybe your fixes don't work on Firefox 2. A lot of people still use Firefox 2. I understand that the intention of the blue flash is for "security reasons" My view is that it's just silly and annoying and carries no meaning. I challenge you to test your design decision on real people out in the real world. Set up in the closest mall and demonstrate the blue flash to them and see if they think it makes Java more secure. —
Hardware Specs
II am just getting into BD-J development and am trying to assess the performance levels of different players. I have done some research online with regards to the hardware components used in the available players but it seems as though most companies are tight lipped about the internals. Anyone know of any white papers, technical manuals for various blu-ray players which document memory, cpu, storage, etc? This would help a lot to gauge the capabilities of the various players. —
