In a recent install we utilised the clustering functionality and found a number of issues that are not highlighted in any of the documentation.

This article explains the eZ publish 3.8 clustering architecture. It also discusses problems with clustering in previous eZ publish versions, shows how these issues have been resolved in version 3.8, and gives you an idea of the results you can expect from clustering.

JMeter is slated as a "load tester", but I assure you that it delivers much more than that. Originally developed to test load test Jserv (the forerunner of Apache Tomcat), JMeter has since expanded to load test FTP servers, database servers as well as java servlets and objects. Of particular interest to us is JMeter's ability to run regression tests on web applications.

En général, les frameworks sont orientés par les conditions d'utilisation de leur créateur. Ruby on Rails a été créé par une société centrée sur des développements Web 2.0. Quant à Symfony, il est issu de 5 ans d'expérience de Sensio Labs dans le développement pour les grands comptes. Dans cette logique, nous assurons également le support des versions antérieures de Symfony pendant un à deux ans, et ce à la différence des technologies concurrentes qui imposent le plus souvent de migrer à chaque nouvelle version.

Besides all these negative points, there are very strong positive points as well. OK, SOAP/WSDL might not be the best choice for every application, but for many at least it is a not so bad one. And even if code generation does not always work perfectly, it usually saves a lot of work. There is just this feeling that there should be something simpler, more straight-forward, and more intuitive. And then REST enters the stage. It is not that REST by definition is easier than SOAP/WSDL. In fact, for machines it is not easier at all.

Last week, Google's Thomas Steiner unveiled that he is working on a Google project for generating language specific client libraries from WADL and generating WADL from documentation examples, tentatively called Google REST Compile and Google REST Describe. Thomas chose WADL as the description language to be used with the new tool, after examining all the alternatives

To define and describe a web-service API, many developers would use WSDL. Although WSDL is meant to be extensible to any protocol and message format, most people use it for HTTP GET/POST and SOAP, when writing to WS-* standards. On the other hand, developers writing a REST API using XML over HTTP typically don't use WSDL, or any other standardized definition/description of the API.

This tutorial will show how to create subtitles on-the-fly from content stored in XML format. It assumes that you know how to create an FLV (Flash Video) file. A sample FLV file is provided, along with sample subtitles, but you can also use your own if you wish.

I have some good news for the fans of the Enhanced Selection datatype for eZ publish: version 2.0 is in the works. The new version will contain some shiny new features, but it will also be completely rewritten from scratch. The code of the currently released version is almost ancient and a rewrite will make it easier to add new features (and of course, bring it more up to date with eZ standards).

Les députés et leurs assistants disposeront à la rentrée parlementaire en juin de PC équipés de la distribution Linux Ubuntu. Dérivé de la distribution Debian, ce système d’exploitation est censé être l’un des OS Linux les plus faciles à utiliser.

Puppet lets you centrally manage every important aspect of your system using a cross-platform specification language that manages all the separate elements normally aggregated in different files, like users, cron jobs, and hosts, along with obviously discrete elements like packages, services, and files.

The YUI Browser History Manager is an experimental component designed to facilitate the creation of web applications in which the navigation buttons are fully functional and in which broad aspects of an application's state — what panels are open, what tabs are active, etc. — can be bookmarked.

If there are many clients then the demands for caching semantics will be begin to dominate. In that case you need to abandon HTTP as just a simple transport and start using the application level semantics of HTTP to start leveraging the caching architecture already built into the Internet.

This is like asking Karl Rove and Dick Cheney to write the Democratic Party platform.
