*sigh* I guess if that's what you want...
Good day all. I had to dust off my old account to bring you this.
I just got a request from a manager asking if the following was possible:
Take an excel file.
Pull some data out and throw it into an xml
pull some data out and throw it into a ~*~ delimited file. Yes, that's the delimiter. No, you can't ask why.I told him, sure, that's fine. Then he said something I'll never forget.
"The XML format will be very flat and just a bunch of tags at the same level with CSV data."
From there, I believe they're going to pull the data into an Oracle table, presumably with CSV data in fields.
I said probably the nerdiest thing I'll say for a while. "None of this is technically infeasible, but it's an incredible abuse of both XML and CSV."
The reason for all this BS is that we're working with a huge vendor product, which means all bets that anything will make sense are out the window.

One Liner. Ok fine, multiple liner.
I complained to an offshore team that I couldn't debug the error out of this stack trace because the line number referenced (309) is past the end of the code file in the repository. Here is their response:
We have not moved the commented lines to CVS code and it is showing wrong numbers.
And before you bitch about CVS, I don't have time for it. It wasn't my call, and the version control I use doesn't matter.

I'm not here to defend Java.
However.
I kinda missed you blakey, in a "citric acid in my eye" kinda way.

RE: One Liner. Ok fine, multiple liner.
Am I reading this correctly
Well keep in mind, offshore team. Pretend the highlighted word is so.The war they gave me to deploy was compiled with the .java files that had the comments. Then they put the non-commented code in the repository. So pretty much the opposite of anything that would make sense.

Java coders: Here's what EJBs are. EJB is a framework that does all this stuff for me.
Blakey: That sounds retarded now let me tell you about the framework I use that has no demonstrable difference.

RE: *sigh* I guess if that's what you want...
why?
I think I'm still a moderator on the forums. Once I figure it out, I'm gonna ban you, then find your mom's account and ban her, then pre-emptively ban all your current and future children.Have a nice day.
But to be honest, it's probably for the reasons mentioned in replies above.

OOOHHH, now that's enterprisey
With apologies, I think I stole this title from an old front page post.
So I've got an application developed offshore, and they've asked me to take it over the finish line.
It's actually two applications. "The UI and the back end." Two separate WARs. UI doesn't involve Java or the DB at all.
How, you ask? Well the UI pops up a loading screen and then AJAX's the information from the other application into tables/etc.
OK, seems simple enough.
At first I said "Nobody ever told these guys you can put UI and business logic in the same war." Then I asked the PM about it. She had the same questions as me and the architect told her, "Well, what if we make it a mobile application? There are standards, you know."
I think this is the definition of enterprisey. Thinking about the uber future before you see what's in front of your face.

@boomzilla hah, yeah that's annoying in this forum but vim word wraps so it doesn't look annoying in the original script.

RE: OOOHHH, now that's enterprisey
Ah, yeah they like to use a webserver on one box and jboss instances on different boxes. Then the webserver interacts with the app servers and does nothing but push data both ways. As far as I can tell, our jboss server is dedicated to us (for now), so we know the only processing going on there is us. The webserver is shared among all the app servers. Seems to work fine for QA. In PROD, I think the web servers are clusters.
I wouldn't know the beginnings of how to configure it, but I'm glad it works.

RE: OOOHHH, now that's enterprisey
You guys know it's possible to run two apps on one server right?
We're running one http server and one jboss cluster. The Jboss server != the http server in our case.
It is creating a headache for me having to create two app profiles, deploy two applications, etc. Especially when this was not all apparent to me when it was dropped into my lap.

RE: One Liner. Ok fine, multiple liner.
This is why builds should be done from repositories. It's even more important if you are using contractors or outsourced labor - then their only responsibility is to write code and check it in.
Normally that's what we do, but this offshore team gets a pass for some reason. They build the war and throw it in the repo and I click the button to deploy it. -

RE: OOOHHH, now that's enterprisey
This would be why C# doesn't have a name for it; it uses properties, instead of some freaky getter/setter bullshit…
Someone long ago decided that public variables in Java were a no-no. Therefore, everything is private and accessed via setter/getter. It makes no difference as far as I can see, but it is what it is.
