SDPs are commonly developed as core systems which interconnect different Telco network services and provide one unified access point for customers (application developers). This will reduce the application development cost rapidly and easy management of applications for the Telco. Even though SDP reduces the application development cost, still the most difficult part remains; which is the development of the business ...
Last few weeks I was involved with a development related to SCTP protocol in Java. I have also done two posts on how to get started with SCTP. During that project I came across a strange issue. That is I receive two responses for all the packets I send to the peer. After doing some investigation we found that it ...
Shutdown hook is a mechanism provided by java for us to handle shutdown event of our applications. We can attach any piece of code to this and execute them just before JVM exits.public class ShutDownHookTest { public static void main(String [] args) throws Exception { System.out.println("System Started..."); Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(new Thread( new Runnable() { public void run() { System.out.println("System is Shutting Down..."); ...
Finally, a feature I was waiting for long time has been included to InfoQ. Now they give the mp3 files of the presentations posted in the site. Previously we had to use some tools to capture the streaming flash video and convert them in to mp3.
JMX is a mechanism where we can used to monitor and control our java applications remotely. We can expose variables and methods to outside using JMX. To access these exposed variables or methods, we have to use JMX Client. JConsole is the JMX client application shipped with Java. It is a swing based application. There is nothing wrong with JConsole ...

Few days back I came across this presentation at InfoQ site regarding "Eclipse, Mylyn and the TFI". I've seen the Mylyn view in the Eclipse and my idea about that was like some kind of a task management tool that comes with Eclipse IDE.
