So, the necessity of establishing a mobile channel for your customer is – well a no-brainer. However, should you just build a mobile website or should you also invest in building native application is not easy to decide.

  • Encryption of Network Communications using JSSE Part 2: A Basic Socket Server

    Bryan Young
    17 Jan 2012 | 12:00 pm
    In part 1 of this series, we saw a general overview of what sockets are, and how JSSE is used to secure that data transfer. Now we’re going to dive in and write our own encrypted server/client system. Before we begin working with encryption, we should begin with the basics, so let’s start with a refresher on standard java sockets, which allow transfer of data between two computers over the internet. One of these computers is the “server” which constantly listens for incoming connections, and the other is the “client” which contacts the server and initiates the connection.

  • Encryption of Network Communications using JSSE Part 1: Introduction to Sockets

    Bryan Young
    21 Dec 2011 | 1:50 pm
    The Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE) is an extension of the JDK which takes standard java sockets and adds a layer of encryption to them. It does this through the use of Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) technologies. In a nutshell, this lets you transfer information over the internet without having to worry about anyone listening in, which is great for any number of client/server applications, and much more. To understand what JSSE does, we first have to understand what a socket is, and what it does. A socket is basically just a virtual communication port that…

And that too, without the user having it installed on their machine. What Makes sIFR better?

For the past few weeks, I’ve broken into the world of Java Programming.

    Most production monitoring systems I have seen have one major problem: There are too many JVM’s, CLRs and Hosts to monitor. One of our bigger Customers (and a Fortune 500 Company) mastered the challenge by concentrating on what really matters: The Applications! Ensure Health The following dashboard is taken directly from the production environment of [...]

    I was reading the biography of Albert Einstein—the most fascinating pieces are on how he developed some of his greatest theories by observing his natural surroundings.  In one experiment, performed in his head rather than in a lab, he challenged Isaac Newton’s concept of space and time, in what eventually would become the Special theory of Relativity (STR).  Einstein would picture in his mind such things as what would be like to ride alongside a light beam or a path the bullet takes being fired from a moving train. Anyone who is new to Essbase, might feel like he or she is reading the…

  • Business Analysis vs. Accounts Analysis

    The Challenge/Issue A common question that arises when designing an application/system dedicated to business analysis/planning is the level of granularity deemed optimal for the application. This question arises especially with regard to level of detail for the GL accounts and Products dimension (element) because, in many organizations, different entities (cost centers, departments) budget or plan at different levels of detail. For example, some departments/cost center may budget Travel Expense at a summary account level, while others for whom travel is a major cost element may want further…

  • Hyperion Planning Security – Managing Filters for Very Large Dimensions

    7 Dec 2011 | 2:20 pm
    There is no doubt that Hyperion Planning security is robust and extremely flexible. The tool enables administrators to control access at the member level. The limits to the security filters are capped only by the administrator’s creativity. While the security model is robust, managing the filters for extremely large dimension can be a daunting task. Security for Hyperion Planning is managed through two applications: Shared Services:  controls the security groups and user assignments Hyperion Planning: controls the assignments of groups to dimension members. While working with the two…

  • Where’s Felipe? A Location-based Play Framework, Scala, Google Maps Clustering, PostgreSQL, Heroku and Anorm App

    As I mentioned in a past article, Why Did I Fall in Love with Play! Framework?, I was the tech lead for a few real estate deployments for Fannie Mae, HUD, Foreclosure.com, etc; as you know, real estate is all about LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION! I’m on vacation, but I am still a geek (and my wife is still sleeping!) so I decided to create a location-based application using the all-awesomeness of Play Framework, Scala, Google Maps v3, PostgreSQL and Anorm; you know, for ol’ times’ sake! On the map-side I will show you how to solve the very common “too many markers”…

  • Klout Search Powered by ElasticSearch, Play Framework, Scala and Akka

    At Klout, we love data and as Dave Mariani, Klout’s VP of Engineering, stated in his latest blog post, we’ve got lots of it! Klout currently uses Hadoop to crunch large volumes of data but what do we do with that data? You already know about the Klout score, but I want to talk about a new feature I’m extremely excited about — search!   Problem at Hand I just want to start off by saying, search is hard! Yet, the requirements were pretty simple:  we needed to create a robust solution that would allow us to search across all scored Klout users. Did I mention it had to be fast?

  • Play Framework Multiple Clusters Deployment with Capistrano

    Capistrano is a Ruby-based deployment tool that you’ve probably heard about unless you’ve been living under a rock these past few years. There are plenty of Capistrano-specific tutorials and blog posts out there so I won’t waste your time with that. BUT, there’s not a lot of information regarding deployment for Play Framework applications and nothing specifically for Capistrano other than the documentation provided by the module.   Here are two useful links I got out of the documentation: Beginners Tutorial Capistrano Execution Path   First of all, let’s install…

    On August 31st, 2011: I will have the great honor to present our beloved Play Framework at Salesforce’s Dreamforce conference here in San Francisco, CA.

So the big announcement is out—Heroku started offering native support to Play Framework applications! If you haven’t heard it, checkout the post from Jesper Joergensen on Heroku’s blog. So for the presentation, I am setting up…

  • Why Did I Fall in Love with Play! Framework?

    Some time ago, I was the tech lead for a few very large deployments on the Real Estate market for companies like Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Foreclosure.com and HUD. We were running that traditional enterprise Java stack you are probably familiar with—Spring, Hibernate, Solr, etc. It took a few years but we had built a very nice system; it performed well but deep inside I felt development wasn’t as productive as it should have been. I also noticed that the whole dev process wasn’t as fun as it used to be. Of course, I had heard a lot of great stories about Rails, Django and, more…
