I meet with a lot of our users in my role at Rogue Wave, and one of the things that I’ve heard from a few people lately is the term “Java envy”.  When I ask what they mean by that, they’re not referring to the language itself.  C++ developers like the control they have over memory usage and predictable performance.  What they’re talking about are the multitude of developer tools that are available for Java development. Rogue Wave has always strived to be the leader in providing C++ products and tools to make developers more productive.  One of our products, HydraEnterprise, continues that goal.  HydraEnterprise provides the ability to create, orchestrate and deploy services to a runtime.  It can create web services, as well as native C++ and Java services, BPEL, data access and others.  It also comes with some developer tools that make doing all those tasks much easier.  The tools are Eclipse plug-ins that allow you to create services within an easy to use GUI, taking advantage of the editors within Eclipse.  You can create WSDL files, generate service wrappers, orchestrate the workflow between services and deploy to the runtime very quickly.  If you would like to see this demonstrated, we have an online tutorial series where one of our sales engineers will create and deploy a C++ service in under 30 minutes.  Send an email to tutorial@roguewave.com indicating your desire and you will receive an email with the details for the next demonstration.

Irène Vatton has just announced the availability of the latest Amaya version, namely Amaya 11 . (For those who may not know what Amaya is, it is an open source (X)HTML browser and editor in one.) The interesting point in this release for Semantic Web users is that Amaya “understands” RDFa . What this means is that, when using the RDFa DTD (which is one of the DTD-s that Amaya offers for any new document), Amaya knows about all the RDFa attributes (i.e., @about , @resource , etc), i.e., one can use the usual user interface features of Amaya to add and edit them.

In the first installment of this post, I discussed the move that all of the major computer hardware vendors have made toward multi-core CPUs, and the resulting Multi-core Dilemma .  I then summarized their strategies in two categories: homogenous and heterogenous. In Part 2, I’ll talk about pros and cons of each approach and some things to think about as you plan your parallel strategy

Avik Sengupta from Lab49 wrote an interesting Guest View in the latest SDTimes about recent additions to Java to improve support for programming to multi-core hardware.  When I started talking about the Multi-core Dilemma a few years ago the conventional wisdom in the Java community still held that we wouldn’t have to do anything different  – that Java would take care of it for us.  I even touched off a nice little flame war with a posting on The Server Side… As Avik points out, Java does provide a powerful threading model that helps with multi-core, “ but in practice it may not be so easy. “  With the addition of the concurrency package and the new fork/join, the tools for parallelism in Java are greatly improved

The following code is solution to a problem where you need to make the accordion component’s MouseOver event to behave like a click event. The code will work only in the case if you have not given the names to the AccordionHeader explicitly. Check the solution out here <?xml version=”1.0″?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx=”http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml”> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ public function onMouseOver(evt:MouseEvent):void{ var strName:String = evt.target.name; var strLen:int = String("_header").length; if(strName.indexOf("_header") > -1){ accordion.selectedIndex = int(strName.substr(strLen,strName.length)); } } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:Panel title=”Accordion Container Example” height=”90%” width=”90%” paddingTop=”10″ paddingLeft=”10″ paddingRight=”10″ paddingBottom=”10″> <mx:Label width=”100%” color=”blue” text=”Select an Accordion navigator button to change the panel.”/> <mx:Accordion id=”accordion” width=”100%” height=”100%” mouseOver=”onMouseOver(event)” > <!– Define each panel using a VBox container

You can enable the hand cursor on a MovieClip by defining the following statement MovieClip.buttonMode = true; However the solution does not work in-case you have a dynamic textField in that movieclip. To enable hand in this case you have to additionally write the following statement MovieClip.mouseChildren = false; The reason is that the mouseChildren property determines whether or not the children of the object are mouse enabled. If an object is mouse enabled, a user can interact with it by using a mouse.
