Comparing Memcached and Ehcache Performance Performance Comparison I did some research recently on memcached and how it compares to ehcache. The following graph shows the time taken for 10,000 puts, gets and removes, for 10,000 cache items. It uses the latest released versions of memcached and ehcache. In memcached’s case libevent is installed. The computer… Continue reading Comparing Memcached and Ehcache Performance
Jonathan Schwartz on open source
Jonathan Schwartz on open source (Comments from the NetBeans session) We have been held captive by the Java developers. The future is about reaching out to people without deep expertise. The number of people passionate about open source licenses far outweighs those who have actually read them. Everyone is a lawyer now. If I post… Continue reading Jonathan Schwartz on open source

Community One 2007 General Session: Tim O’Reilly, Ian Murdock and others
What is Web 3.0 likely to be? (my question) Tim O’Reilly “Meaningless. Most transformative when we stop typing. 411 services Google, gestural interfaces. Each cell phone with an intertial sensor. Instrumentation of people. Insurance based on GPS. Computers learn from us by what we do in our interactions in the daily world.” Tim Bray “Essentially… Continue reading Community One 2007 General Session: Tim O’Reilly, Ian Murdock and others
What’s new in America
I have been in San Francico for a few days now. Coming to the US around once a year I always look for things that are new. As William Gibson said “The future is here now. It’s just not evenly distributed.” With that in mind, what is happening in California, and San Francisco in particularm,… Continue reading What’s new in America
JPam – a bridge between JAAS and Unix PAM security
I have just released JPam 1.0. JPam is a Java-PAM bridge. PAM, or Pluggable Authentication Modules, is a standard security architecture used on Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, HP-UX and other Unix systems. JPam is the missing link between the two. JPAM permits the use of PAM authentication facilities by Java applications running on those… Continue reading JPam – a bridge between JAAS and Unix PAM security
Spnego for Glassfish – First working implementation achieved today
I am feeling a little excited right now. Today we got an implementation of SPNEGO going for Glassfish. It will be refined over coming days, but it works. You can use Glassfish in a Kerberos Single Sign On environment. It works with Firefox, IE and Safari. Some features/limitations at present: * We use the new… Continue reading Spnego for Glassfish – First working implementation achieved today

Glassfish does not support SPNEGO and Kerberos – Yet
I had an interesting time this week working out whether Glassfish supports Kerberos and SPNEGO. For those who have not read my previous post, pretty much everything now has baked in support for Kerberos. For web apps, there is a security protocol over HTTP called SPNEGO which lets browsers use single sign on with web… Continue reading Glassfish does not support SPNEGO and Kerberos – Yet
Kerberos is cool
The last few weeks I have been working on a single sign on/Kerberos project. For anyone for whom either of those term is new, here is some food for thought. Windoze, Linux, Mac OS X (10.4), Firefox, IE, Apache, ssh… has, in the past 10 years been Kerberised. Rather than Microsoft’s Embrace Extend Annihilate being… Continue reading Kerberos is cool
