]]> Comment on How to Use JPype by Ken http://www.thenumber42.net/2008/03/31/how-to-use-jpype/#comment-154 Ken Tue, 15 Apr 2008 17:45:59 +0000 http://www.thenumber42.net/2008/03/31/how-to-use-jpype/#comment-154 Thanks, this was a helpful introduction. The jpype.getDefaultJVMPath() call didn't work properly on my Ubuntu Linux system, so I just hard-coded the path, which in my case is /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so Thanks, this was a helpful introduction.

]]> Comment on Distributed Deployment and Testing by Steve Loughran http://www.thenumber42.net/2008/01/28/distributed-deployment-and-testing/#comment-18 Steve Loughran Tue, 29 Jan 2008 13:14:53 +0000 http://www.thenumber42.net/2008/01/28/distributed-deployment-and-testing/#comment-18 I'm glad you are interested in SmartFrog...I've always been interested in testing, and for a distributed deployment framework , tests are just something else to deploy -the main issue being reporting, where there are lots of scope for improvement. Regarding bootstrapping, we have mostly focused on RPM installation, my current homework being integrating security into the process. We're planning on writing the components so that SmartFrog can create its own RPMs with security keys it generates itself, and signed copies of the installed JARs. This lets you take an existing deployment and scale out. If you want a SmartFrog Roll, it would fit in the same way, that way you get to secure your farm against untrusted callers. Just have a component to exec the makefile of your roll. If you're willing to do such a roll, we'd work with you to pull it back into our build process, not just so that people can re-use it, but so that it runs every 30 minutes in our CI process -this stops us breaking anything you use. -Steve Loughran, SmartFrog team at HP Laboratories.
