  • Spring Boot Monitoring with Open-Source Tools
    5 projects | dev.to | 2 Dec 2023
    Manual instrumentation allows you to define your Spans within the code itself rather than relying on automatic instrumentation finding the entry point for a trace. Manual instrumentation is especially helpful for applications that don’t use an application server such as Tomcat, JBoss, or Jetty.

  • 7 years with Vaadin in production. Do we still enjoy it?
    2 projects | dev.to | 12 Feb 2023
    Do we still enjoy it? We are running many Vaadin apps in production since that first one. If there are not any specific requirements we use a “modular monolith” concept, which fits our stack best. We pack applications as WAR and deploy them under Apache Tomcat. And yes, we enjoy the development process. It’s very straightforward and Vaadin and SpringBoot fit together well.
  • TIBCO Jaspersoft Studio tutorial: Creating templates and integration with JasperReports Server
    3 projects | dev.to | 10 Nov 2022
    JasperReports Server Community requires a Java application server and a database to create a repository in order to work properly. After downloading JRS, the installation process can install Tomcat server and PostgreSQL database automatically for us and the services will run depending on the Jasper server. It's also possible to connect JRS to services already installed on the server. Moreover, while the free version supports the MySQL server, with the paid version you can also use commercial databases, for example, ORACLE Database, as a data repository.
  • Show HN: Open-source non-blocking NIO Java HTTP Server

    Regarding the venerable Tomcat, they [somewhat] recently added support for Unix domain sockets.

    * https://github.com/apache/tomcat/pull/402

    * https://github.com/apache/tomcat/pull/532

    We fronted the server with haproxy LTS. Our initial testing showed roughly and order of magnitude [10x] increase in the number of requests the server could handle.

    It's not completely plug-and-play; we still had a write a custom valve to set the request remote ip address and some other TCPish stuff, but nevertheless the capacity far outstripped our need for the technology.

  • I wish to learn web development with java and while configuring apache tomcat 10.0.26 into Eclipse, I encountered this problem. Can anyone help me? Thank you.
    1 project | /r/eclipse | 5 Oct 2022
    Don't use an installed copy of Tomcat. The layout can be different than expected and permission problems can appear at the worst time. For one, it needs to be able to write to that conf directory. Download a non-platform-specific "core" zip file from tomcat.apache.org instead.
  • Where is polymorphism used in actual Software development?
    1 project | /r/learnprogramming | 18 Sep 2022
    Anytime you use dependencies you make use of code for a purpose that was not originally intended. The apachee web server was named after a patchwork quilt. Many contributors had useful code from commercial projects they contributed to the cause. In networking protocols packets are discarded after a set number of hops, or an expiration date so the internet does not have zombie packets wondering around. The tcp/ip traceroute command uses TTL to find all the collision domains in a request.
  • Has anyone used Java backend with NextJS?
    1 project | /r/nextjs | 17 Sep 2022
    If you plan on a full enterprise solution apache server has built in roles, users and corporate tools. It integrates well with Java. Express is much easier in my opinion. You may use xml instead of json. Other than that the front end and backend don't matter. Since ERP is what you are dealing with maybe that is the way to go?

  • The 2024 Web Hosting Report

    Single-page applications (SPAs) existed before S3, but given that you still had to set up, scale, and maintain servers using something like Apache or NGINX in order to serve them, the advantages for “Ops” or “DevOps” were not so different to running a “real server” with a language like PHP, python, or Java.

    Simiplicity is nice, but there are reasons why Perl and PHP were the popular choices for web stacks in the early 2000's--they are faster and easier to develop with than C and likely safer than C too.

    mod_perl (https://perl.apache.org/) and mod_php (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/plugins/servlet/mobile?c...) helped to make Apache httpd (https://httpd.apache.org/) the number one web server in the early days of the web.

    The Apache HTTP Server project was initially launched in 1995 by a group of web developers and administrators who sought to improve upon the existing web server software available at the time. The project has since evolved into a collaborative effort, with contributors from around the world working together to maintain and enhance the server. Today, the Apache HTTP Server is managed by the Apache Software Foundation, a non-profit organization that oversees the development of numerous open source software projects.
