I'm working on a grails front end to EJB 3.0 back end. I haven't seen any talk of grails on our group here. Does anyone have any grails to EJB 3.0 integration...
... I have played around with Grails a bit, seems very interesting. Toyed with the idea of making something similar to http://heroku.com for Grails on Amazon's...
Hi Carol, I've seen your picture and work before. Welcome to Jacksonville! Hope to see you at some JUG meetings. Bienvenue! Willkommen! ... Oh, I just...
... Excellent, glad there is some Sun in the area. Last I tried to communicate with them about local support, Jax JUG, Florida Linux Show, etc via some...
... Yes...Welcome to Jax! I agree with William ... nice to have someone from the mothership nearby to comment on all the interesting things Sun is working on...
I'm working on a java application, but we need to interface with a crusty iSeries/Cobol app. Is anybody aware of any cobol consultants that work well with us...
Hi Kurt, I've got lots of iSeries (i5, latest IBM i, but we all know it as the AS/400) background, and we have a development iSeries. I haven't done much ...
... I think only about 6% of AS/400 use Cobol. Alas, we're one of them because of the claims processor we use. We've been using a JDBC/stored procedure to...
I'll confess to some COBOL experience, but it's on the z, not the i. I can run S/370 COBOL at home, thanks to my Hercules system. Tim...

Hey Everyone, My name is Blake Crawford and I am a Technical Recruiter with CSI Tech here in Jacksonville. I wanted to reach out to you all and see if anyone...
Hi Kurt, I got abruptly snagged yesterday for an implementation that was supposedly weeks away, and suddenly they wanted it NOW. Still not completely done,...
It reads to me like the Java app's loosely-coupled with a service in COBOL via a database (the builtin database?). Which makes sense. On a zSeries machine,...

The AS/400 supports several methods of in-memory, multi-language access, and native as well as JMS/MOM style messaging, without requiring "assembly-language...
I have an application I am working on that does some file processing. The files are binary files (specifically TIFF files). The images are provided to me in...
Try some JUnit to figure out what's going wrong. Test 1: Make a small TIFF file (eg 2x2 pixels, half black, half white). Copy and paste the contents of the...
You can't. If there's an industry-standard image file format that doesn't carry some sort of magic numbers and/or metadata, I don't know what it is. TIFF, for...

... The AS/400 is an EBCDIC machine (unless dealing with IFS,) so decimal arithmetic and zoned/packed decimal values are *normally* a given when interacting...
... I don't believe there is any relationship between EBCDIC and decimal arithmetic. BCD (binary coded decimal) is not related to the underlying character...

There isn't. In fact virtually every microprocessor from the Intel 8080 onwards has "packed decimal" instructions. The main difference is that on the S/360...

... Tim, as to Java apps blowing away native C/C++ apps, did you mis- state this or am I reading this out of context ? If not, explain. I do believe that Java...
Well, there's nothing I can't say in a way that confuses everybody, but yes, I have seen benchmarks where various test suites were run and Java came in on top....

About the only application I have these days for Java is my server. It runs on a fast machine with plenty of memory and I have been very pleased with it. Still...

Tim, I made sure it was a fair test. C optimization turned off. The test I ran did not care about programmer optimization, the issue is how fast does the...
Fair warning: I've worked with compiler and interpreter technology for a LONG time AND software tuning and optimization was part of my core job description for...
