Step 1: Repackage a web app as EAR A Java EE application is a multimodule Maven project. At the very least you'll need to package a WAR and an EAR. To get started, I'll simply re-package the simple webapp as an EAR. Create a directory named javaee-app Copy the webapp from here to javaee-app . Rename struts1app to webapp . Create pom.xml under javaee-app : <project> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>... Create a directory named ear under javaee-app . Create pom.xml under ear : <project> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>... Modify pom.xml in the webapp directory so that it looks like this: <project> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> ... Build with " mvn package " in the javaee-app directory. You can see that ear-1.0.ear is successfully generated in javaee-app/ear/target . Maven successfully resolves dependencies between the sub-projects....

From Oracle Database JDBC Developer's Guide : The JDBC Thin client is a pure Java, Type IV driver. It is lightweight and easy to install. It provides high performance, comparable to the performance provided by the JDBC Oracle Call Interface (OCI) driver. The JDBC Thin driver is written entirely in Java, and therefore, it is platform-independent. Also, this driver does not require any additional Oracle software on the client-side. From Java Programming with Oracle JDBC : The important thing to notice about the graph is that it's not until about 65 inserts that the PreparedStatement object outperforms the Statement object. 65 inserts! Clearly, the Statement object is more efficient under typical use when using the OCI driver. you'll see that the Thin driver follows the...

Remember the times when you googled for solutions to your technical problems? How much time did you spend on wading through the zillions of links to find the ones that are of interest to you? Wouldn't you hope that you can find the answer right away the second time around? How many times were you forced to peruse hundreds of pages of documentation for a very specific need? Did you ever need to experiment with various alternatives because the documentation was vague? Wouldn't you prefer that a shortcut is available when the same thing is needed again? Xinotes is here to record your technical findings so that you won't have to go through the same process again when the problem reappears. Experience has taught us...

This is from Oracle 10g documentation . Data Lock Conversion Versus Lock Escalation [/size] A transaction holds exclusive row locks for all rows inserted, updated, or deleted within the transaction. Because row locks are acquired at the highest degree of restrictiveness, no lock conversion is required or performed. Oracle automatically converts a table lock of lower restrictiveness to one of higher restrictiveness as appropriate. For example, assume that a transaction uses a SELECT statement with the FOR UPDATE clause to lock rows of a table. As a result, it acquires the exclusive row locks and a row share table lock for the table. If the transaction later updates one or more of the locked rows, the row share table lock is automatically converted to a...

Oracle 10g introduced DBMS_SCHEDULER , which replaces DBMS_JOB in previous versions. The old DBMS_JOB is kept only for backwards compatibility. The new Oracle Scheduler offers far more functionality than the DBMS_JOB package.

In sqlnet.ora , there's a parameter named NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN that usually contains the value world . If you remove this parameter then you don't need to append .world . My sqlnet.ora contains three lines: # sqlnet.ora Network Configuration File: C:\wo... To force a lookup without NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN appended, append a dot to the tnsname: tnsping unqualified_tnsname_name.
