EJB Design Guidelines... found a better EJBHomeFactory implementation... this one supports local interfaces which is what i deal with most of the time...
EJB best practices... good reference to common EJB questions...

i particularly like the EJBHomeFactory concept...

i guess thats why am happy being a software engineer!
Best practices in EJB exception handling... good article on ejb exception handling... am trying to google an article i saw a long ago discussing the evils of just doing a print stack trace when an exception is thrown... i had it as a bookmark on the old pheonix firebird browser and now i cant find it... bloggin a link is a far better than bookmarking it wit a browser... score 1 for link blogging ;)
was able to confirm the bad ram chip of my degatto thru a sofware called memtest86 i think? what a relief! borrowed a ram chip and sent the bad ram chip back to degatto vendor...

somethin tells me i should try installing the freebsd 5.2 again... maybe things would be better now that i have good working ram chip ;)

trying to practice defensive coding... been reading a lot about exception handling in java lately... the C/C++ exception handling that i was used to doesnt apply to java unfortunately...
btw, was able to get the viplugin to work via the update method... just installing the downloadable tarball just didnt work...
viPlugin now works on my eclipse m7... happy days are here again... my hands are aching for coding without vi... navigation thru arrow keys is downright awkward...

now if could get the quantumdb plugin to work... also need to find time to learn how to compile lomboz from source so i could tweak its default templates... lomboz inserting jonas xdoclet tags adds clutter to my already obfuscated java code ;)...

EJB Adventures -> EJB finder methods are case sensitive!
Lomboz M7 annoyance... using the add ejb to module modifies xdoclet.xml... previously lomboz for the 2.1.1 would add to ejbs.xml instead... also every add ejb to module modifies the build.properties file... tsk tsk tsk...
