RMI dynamic class downloading

Java RMI since very early version has been able to dynamically download classes. Java RMI properties Dynamic code downloading using RMI 4.0 Using codebase in RMI for more than just stub downloading In addition to downloading stubs and their associated classes to clients, the java.rmi.server.codebase property can be used to specify a location from which any class, not only stubs, can be downloaded.

JMX

Throw standard java exceptions vs. custom exceptions in custom jmx mbeans. If custom exceptions are thrown and they were not included on classpath when starting jconsole, a classNotFoundException will be thrown and the exception message will not be displayed. Java 6 Enhancements HOWTO Object naming MBean interface names must end with MBean, and the MBean class for the FooMBean interface must be called Foo. (You can lift this restriction by using a more advanced JMX feature, dynamic MBeans.) public interface FooMBean public class Foo Create and register MBean instance: Foo foo = new Foo(...); MBeanServer server = ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer(); Alternatively for JBoss: MBeanServer server = MBeanServerLocator.locateJBoss(); server.registerMBean((FooMBean)foo, new ObjectName("myapp:type=foo,name=uniqueString")); Alternatively: server.registerMBean(foo, new ObjectName("topLevelNodeName:subNodeName=foo,subNode2Name=bar,mbeanName=uniqueNodeNameString")); In J

Disk Partitioning with Ubuntu Partition Manager

With the Partition Manager shipped with Ubuntu 8.04, don't move empty partitions, it takes forever. Partition manager moves them sector by sector. Delete empty partitions and create new partitions which is very quick. All changes in partition manager are queued and then all run sequentially. If you move a partition left then right, it queues both actions and performs both which can take a long time. It doesn't evaluate changes and aggregate or eliminate unnecessary actions. There is an Undu button, use it. Why ext3
