Been a while since development work has been posted, but there are changes going on behind the scene’s.
I found out via Twitter that WordPress is up to 2.5, and so here I am. New theme and all.
I’m also moving my personal blog (updated more often) to from MT across to WP.
See you in another year or so.

Whitesquare would like to announce a new project, FeedListener.
FeedListener is a project that enhances a standard RSS News reader to support enclosures and thus podcasting.
More details on the feature will be supplied in the coming weeks.
Yep i’m slack and all the talk on DCAF2 has been hot air… Until now. Beginning this week I have stated some of the re-engineering of DCAF to support some more general databases and much more flexible runtime support.
The concepts will remain the same, of DO’s and BO’s (logically anyway) but enhancements like non long based primary keys has already been implemented. Other thoughts for the DCAF2 roadmap are:
I have often had the following issue when connecting to a CVS tree from the command line.
$ cvs up
/CVSROOTccess /usr/local/cvsroot
No such file or directory
The issue is one of line breaks, in that the actual error message that is supposed to be show is:
Cannot access /usr/local/cvsroot
/CVSROOTNo such file or directory
So this post is to help all those out there who have experienced the same issue. I have found that the issue relates to the files in each of the CVS folders (Root, Entries, Repository) depending on the client you use (in my case eclipse) to create the files, when you use the command line CVS it fails to interperet the files correctly and gets the wrong path.
I’d guess this is only an issue running CVS on cygwin under windows. So now i’ve recorded it, all u have to do is dos2unix the files in all the CVS folders and it work a treat.
dos2unix.exe `find . -name Root`
dos2unix.exe `find . -name Entries`
dos2unix.exe `find . -name Repository`
Will do the trick.

This is primarily a bug fix release. It contains fixes for using the ConnectionVariable logic on List objects. There were issues when multiple ConnectionVariable’s were used in sequence and the underlying SQL generation logic has been now updated to support multiple concurrent uses.

Code such as:UserList user = new UserList();
user.addSearchField(UserList.PWORD, BindVariable.CONSTRAINT_NOT_EQUAL, BindVariable.NULL);
user.addSearchField(ConnectionVariable.OPEN_BRACE);
user.addSearchField(UserList.EMAIL, BindVariable.CONSTRAINT_CONTAINS, "steve");
user.addSearchField(ConnectionVariable.OR);
user.addSearchField(UserList.EMAIL2, BindVariable.CONSTRAINT_CONTAINS, "steve");
user.addSearchField(ConnectionVariable.CLOSE_BRACE);
user.loadEntries();
Is now more inclined to work.
More details on actual changes and other bug fixes in a later post.
