XML Matters: The Web ain't just for 2D any more


XML Matters: The Web ain't just for 2D any more
Once upon a time, 3D for the Web promised to be as easy as building a Web page. Unfortunately, 3D -- even simple 3D -- is more complex than displaying scrolling text and pictures. Each VRML vendor implemented a different subset of the spec, and it never gained traction. And so 3D on the Web faded away. Or did it? It turns out that VRML lives on in its XML flavor, X3D, which has grown to encompass VRML's siblings H-Anim (Humanoid Animation) and GeoVRML. Can 3D on the Web finally be used for more than virtual shopping malls? The latest installment of this mini-series on XML media shows that it can. In this article, Dethe focuses on a couple of uses that X3D is ready for now, and takes a look at where it might go in the future.

Use IBM Cloudscape/Apache Derby as RFT database in GT4
This article describes the code and configuration changes required to use the Apache Derby open source database management system (DBMS) as the database manager for the Reliable File Transfer (RFT) service in Globus Toolkit 4.0 (GT4). GT4 currently supports the PostgreSQL and MySQL DBMS. As a 100-percent Java technology system, Derby can be embedded in a GT4 distribution, which would greatly simplify installation, configuration, and operation for your grid. The core GT4 component that requires a DBMS is the RFT.

Secrets of lightweight development success, Part 8: Seaside
Continuations, or high-level programming abstractions, are often seen as academic toys, but a new breed of Web server can make the average developer much more productive. Continuation servers let you support the Back button in Web browsers and code with a more consistent programming style. Developers the world over recognize Seaside as the top existing continuation server, but Seaside does much more than continuations.

Firewalls: Web services' Achilles' Heel?
Overcome asynchronous messaging challenges by using Web Services Polling (WS-Polling). Specifications such as WS-Coordination/Transactions and WS-Reliable Messaging can now assume there's an asynchronous message processing model -- and one that is defined in a standard way -- simply by using the WS-Addressing headers. However, as with many things, there's a downside to using asynchronous message processing and an obstacle to its adoption -- firewalls.

Demystifying class loading problems, Part 1: An introduction to class loading and debugging tools
The class loading component is fundamental to the Java virtual machine. Though developers generally have a good grasp of the basics of class loading, when a problem occurs, they may have a hard time diagnosing and determining a solution. In this four-part article series, Lakshmi Shankar and Simon Burns discuss the various class loading problems that you may encounter in your Java development and illustrate why they occur and how to resolve them. The insights they provide should help you understand and resolve common Java exceptions, such as NoClassDefFoundError and ClassNotFoundException, in addition to more challenging problems, such as class loader constraint violations and deadlocks. In this first article, they describe in detail how Java class loading works and discuss the tools available in the JVM to help you diagnose class loading problems.

Discover Python, Part 5: Programming in Python
This article begins to demonstrate how to do things in Python by focusing on flow control, which is one of the simplest methods for writing programs. In this programming model, data is manipulated -- perhaps from a user interface, sensors, or a file; depending on the value of the data or resulting expressions, different actions are taken. Python provides several flow control mechanisms. This article discusses the if statement, and the while and for loops.

Discover Python, Part 7: Explore the Python type hierarchy
This article returns to the exploration of the Python type hierarchy and introduces the Python dictionary container type. Unlike the Python tuple, string, and list container types discussed in previous articles, the dictionary type is an unordered container that relies on a key-to-value mapping. As a result, items in a dictionary are accessed by a key value and not by their location within a sequence. The unique features of the dictionary type may seem unusual, but they provide a great deal of power when used properly.
