Finlay is here. For me, Glassfish 3.1, was one of most awaited piece of software, for all it’s new features and clustering support. Glassfish 3.1 slightly changed the way to install cluster, in a much better and integrated way. This version come with a lot of new functionality, but also with improved parts related to Glassfish 2.1. The most interesting features of Glassfish 3.1 are: Clustering (100 instances per domain), SSH provisioning, Centralized management (with the help of ssh), High Availability Session Persistence, High Availability Java Message Service, RMI-IIOP Load ...]]> http://www.randombugs.com/java/glassfish/installing-glassfish-31-cluster-debian-60-command-line.html/feed 1 http://www.randombugs.com/linux/atomic-modsecurity-rules-debian-lenny-50.html http://www.randombugs.com/linux/atomic-modsecurity-rules-debian-lenny-50.html#comments Thu, 30 Dec 2010 11:26:26 +0000 admin http://www.randombugs.com/?p=666
Everyone, with a decent Linux security knowledge, should know about ModSecurity – Open Source Web Application Firewall.

mod_qos is becoming a very popular module for Apache, from the discover of Slowloris DDoS Attack. It seems, mod_qos is the best solution for Slowloris attack on Apache 2, but you can also check mod_evasive, mod_security or http accelerator “Varnish”. In this post I will try to present a step by step tutorial how to install mod_qos and configure to prevent Slowloris DDoS attack.

I have several clusters with Glassfish 2.1.1 in a BIG virtual environment and all worked fine … until I add new processors to this clusters. After upgrade, I started to have problems with HttpSession replication. Starting debugging JXTA, Shoal and the Web Container didn’t help at all. Until I found this page Memory Replication & Multi-threaded Concurrent Access to HttpSessions. My applications was doing multi-thread concurrent access some times (Ajax) and this was the root cause of all lost sessions. I modified sun-web.xml from my application, accordingly with the ...]]> http://www.randombugs.com/java/glassfish/glassfish-cluster-211-httpsessions-replication-multithread-concurrent-access.html/feed 3 http://www.randombugs.com/java/java-networking-problems-debian-squeezesid.html http://www.randombugs.com/java/java-networking-problems-debian-squeezesid.html#comments Tue, 16 Feb 2010 08:46:07 +0000 admin http://www.randombugs.com/?p=630

A lot of people are not satisfied by the default Java Logging (JUL) in Glassfish. Also, myself I encountered some problems on clustered environments where we should have one single log and not one log for each instance. Trying to change the logging system in Glassfish it looks to be almost impossible , but I found a very interesting project java.util.logging to log4j Bridge and the sky become more clear for Glassfish logging. Jul to Log4J Bridge are part of log4J project and is very useful when you ...]]> http://www.randombugs.com/java/glassfish/changing-logging-system-glassfish-21.html/feed 0 http://www.randombugs.com/java/dbappender-log4j-12.html http://www.randombugs.com/java/dbappender-log4j-12.html#comments Thu, 24 Sep 2009 20:19:46 +0000 admin http://www.randombugs.com/?p=595
Initially, DBAppender for Log4j was introduced in version 1.3 of Log4j, but this version was ABANDONED by Apache team. DBAppender is very useful when we want to send our log on a JNDI resource and not on standard JDBC or file. If you need just logging in a database for your application, then you should use JDBCAppender. If you want to log on a JNDI or Database Connection Pool the DBAppender is for you. In this post I will show you how to get, compile and quick test the DBAppender. 1. ...]]> http://www.randombugs.com/java/dbappender-log4j-12.html/feed 6 http://www.randombugs.com/java/javalangsecurityexception-jce-authenticate-provider-bc.html http://www.randombugs.com/java/javalangsecurityexception-jce-authenticate-provider-bc.html#comments Mon, 10 Aug 2009 09:57:57 +0000 admin http://www.randombugs.com/?p=577
Trying to integrate BouncyCastle Cryptography provider in Java can be a nightmare. I read a lot of forums messages about “JCE cannot authenticate the provider BC” and I didn’t find any clear response. After several hours of tweaking and digging I found the main reason of the problem. If you want to use BouncyCastle as Security provider then install it directly on your Java Virtual Machine and remove any library of bc from your application.

In my experiments with databases I was constrained to tune the system together with the databases. A system what will run a database is quite different from any other server system, because databases put a lot of stress on the IO and especially on the disks (probably the file servers too). Hardware is not all you should tune your system as much as possible. In this post I will talk about Linux with Ext3 (is what I have right now), but on future I will test OpenSolaris with ZFS. 1. ...]]> http://www.randombugs.com/linux/tuning-linux-system-database.html/feed 3
