WSLT weblogic JMS creation script

noreply@blogger.com (W!ll!iam) — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 02:53:00 +0000

here is a script i use at work to create JMS servers modules and queues.


#-------#
# JMSQueueScript.py
# Requires argument - either install, update or clean
#Requires properties folder to be in same directory as script
#Creates Queues, JMS servers, subdeployments, system modules and sets attributes

global envProp

#Determine runMode- Install, Update or Clean

    runMode = sys.argv[1]

jmeter ant script

noreply@blogger.com (W!ll!iam) — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 23:56:00 +0000

this ant script run jmeter and also generates reports

this ant script takes in two folder locations, and many test scripts and a time to run from each folder.

this is used to run one set of the test then change folder and run another set of the same tests with different throughput numbers

    <description>
   
        Sample build file for use with ant-jmeter.jar
        See http://www.programmerplanet.org/pages/projects/jmeter-ant-task.php
       
    To run a test and create the output report:
        ant -Dtest=script
   
    To run a test only:
        ant -Dtest=script run
       
    To run report on existing test output
        ant -Dtest=script report
   
    The "script" parameter is the name of the script without the .jmx suffix.
   
    Additional options:
   
        -Dtest2=script2   
        -Dtest3=script3
        -Dtest4=script4
        -Dtest5=script5

        -DshutdownPort5=4449
        -DshutdownPort6=4450
       
        -Dtestpath=xyz - path to test file(s) (default user.dir).
                         N.B. Ant interprets relative paths against the build file
        -Dtestpath2=xyz - path to test file(s) second home eg 125 phl
                         N.B. Ant interprets relative paths against the build file

        -DtestTime=y - time to run each test set
       
        -DtestTimeOut=x - time for timeout to stop the test set in milliseconds eg, 30min = 30 * 60 * 1000

        -Djmeter.home=.. - path to JMeter home directory (defaults to parent of this build file)
        -Dshow-data=y - include response data in Failure Details
       
        Deprecated:
        -Dformat=2.0 - use version 2.0 JTL files rather than 2.1

NEW HELI :):):)

noreply@blogger.com (W!ll!iam) — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 23:57:00 +0000

yesterday i received my second helicopter, its a beauty, all controls in such a small space.
left spin, right spin, left drift, right drift, forward drift, backward drift, up and down.
my last heli only had left spin, right spin, forward drift, backward drift and up and down.

cost me less and hopefully i don't crash it as much. if i do, i'll hate myself but as its so good, i'll just fix it up and fly again.

how to hack the brisbane city council library catalog pc's

noreply@blogger.com (W!ll!iam) — Sat, 30 Jun 2007 01:38:00 +0000

well for some reason brisbane city council went way overboard in stopping people from accessing the net on the pc's just for viewing the catalog over the internet. we all know that the internet wants to be free. the ways they stop the spread of the internet on the broswer terminals is to not allow you to access the address bar. it is unchangeable. all the good stuff in ie that you hate with a vengence because we use firefox are missing. eg you can't save, load, change anything nor copy paste or change any of the tool bars. i'd take a screenshot of what it has but that has also been disabled. this is just in the browser, but for the operating system, it has no start button. tho it does have the task bar so thats a good thing.

now getting back to allowing you to go to any webpage out on the net via this terminal is easy. just do a search that will turn up no results and it comes up with a handy link. asking you if you want to do a google search. that is such a handy link to leave lying around the place and in doing so has foiled their plans of locked down pc.

hope you have fun. its easy to make a list of stuff you look at regurlay or even just to google the address you want.

itsa having a free bar tab.

noreply@blogger.com (W!ll!iam) — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 23:36:00 +0000

come join. drink till the bar tab is gone. well not really. just come enjoy the company of having some leading companys in brisbane enjoy some nice food and drink and network to get a job. that could happen or we could eat, play pool and drink a couple of jugs ;)

hope you come

The Waterfall model

noreply@blogger.com (W!ll!iam) — Wed, 30 May 2007 23:01:00 +0000

Hmm, it’s interesting that when you apply for a programming job, they ask you if you know the waterfall model. Quite strange but because I have not been in a position where people come to me asking me to make something on a scrap piece of paper I didn't know that it’s a big thing. So all those subjects just covering the model were not lost. Darn it was so boring too, if they told us that we would need this info for getting a job, I might have remembered more of it instead of brain dumping it to the computer so I can think better on programming in other languages, eg C#, java, scheme and recently XQuery.

A Tree That peeled like a banana when hit by lightning

noreply@blogger.com (W!ll!iam) — Wed, 30 May 2007 09:21:00 +0000

They said that the tree is waxy and smooth to the touch.

Read more via : Boingboing
(Thanks to Eric and Mark and Menarique)

Just in this topic it seems that trees that have been struck by lightning do not burn and also are very difficult to cut down as that are as hard as anything. this is because solids don't actually burn, its the gas that burns. seems the theory is that wood that has been struck has its volatitles evaporated from it so that there is nothing to burn from it. this is also a tree dies from the strick as there is no fluids giving their nutrience to the leaves.

thats what i got from Dr Karl

XQUERY why with the fortran??

noreply@blogger.com (W!ll!iam) — Mon, 28 May 2007 07:42:00 +0000

i have no idea why people love this language. i'm guessing it came from people liking SQL and Scheme. with a bit of java thown in just for kicks. i'm starting to hate how the internet documentation on XQuery is rather lacking in some parts, such as how do i do dynamic tags??? also how do i change what the elements have stored when doing more than 2 querys one after the other??
