Ubuntu time

This week was a little all over the place.  I helped debug jpa queries(equals in jpql is case sensitive. Why would you expect it not to be???) I helped tighten up ssl on IIS6.(5 registry keys to create? Really? I hate that system config location is the same spot as app config locations. Linux is no better with /etc...) I wrote 126 java interfaces. (Daos for a very large web service). I wrote Ruby to spit out java for the osgi services that needed all those interfaces. I learned about gradle and wrote a dependency downloader script. I used that to compare cxf bundle (58 mb with a bunch of jars) and metro osgi (38mb with only a few jars.) Metro also looks more promising because its the jax ws reference implementation. I learned about dependendency resolution with scr's @Reference. I learned about enRoutes "compile-only" hack to make sure apis are pushed out with an implementation and never included in an osgi runtime alone. ( you have to add the api package to exports in bndtools view of your provider project's bnd.bnd and it will copy the class files. It's a bit too magic for my taste but whatever)

And I went in for 4 hours (3-7pm) Saturday so I could install Ubuntu on the server I bought. I'm a bit worried about weblogic... But it will force me to finish the bamboo deployments on check-in.... Hopefully it will force me to finish the weblogic spi jar to wrap our weblogic dependency as much as possible...

Also I need to write a basic telnet network stack for LVM. That is ULTRA dumb that you need to be physically at the server to enter the LUKS pw to decrypt at boot time. Like. WTF. I think I saw some solutions but they seem old.
