Apache HttpComponents on Blackberry? - apache

Does anyone know if ApacheHttpComponents
http://hc.apache.org/
will work or can be used with BlackBerry development?
Thanks,
Rasputin.

Not without significant work. HttpComponents depends on JDK classes that don't exist on the BlackBerry. I think it would be possible to port some of it, especially because of the strong separationof interface vs. implementation, but it would be a lot of work to do that.

Does anyone know if NSISdl will be updated to support HTTPS?

I originally asked a question about NSISDl because I thought there was a bug or issue with my use of it. Through this ticket, I found out it does not support HTTPS at all, and thus it became an entirely different matter. (edit)
NSISdl only supports plain HTTP. Use the INetC plug-in instead, it uses WinInet and should work anywhere Internet Explorer works...

Writing a simple web-based IDE - ideas / concepts?

This may be a too broad question but how would you develop a simple web-based IDE/editor? For a lecture I was thinking of a simple editor where you could enter some sort of code, press compile and then display the results, error messages etc. in some way.
Does anyone knows some examples (with source code maybe), or any suggestions on how to do this conceptually?
Or you could try http://codepad.org/
You might also be interested in taking a look at the very new Eclipse Orion project, in particular the architecture overview: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Orion/Architecture
Koding provides a framework for you to develop html5 applications with access to a real Ubuntu VM with Root. The idea for this post, being that you can develop an IDE that works with Client and Server languages, without having to deal with security of giving people access to machines that you are hosting. Security is hard with machines and avoiding exploits

Is there ANY sane way to have OSGI work with WebLogic10/11?

I'm looking for a way to do it now. On the Oracle's road map they will be bring GlassFish and Weblogic closer together (OSGI will be there in 2012-ish). But what about now?
Asking this, cause WebLogic is default standard for the company, not because I'm a fan of it.
Why not embed the OSGi framework within your WAR? Eclipse Equinox has even some examples on its wiki on how to achieve that.
If this question is still relevant. Please have a look to this question I've raised several months ago: WebLogic and OSGi. I also updated the question. Since version 12.1.2, Weblogic supports OSGi out of the box.

mono in production websites?

I'm investigating the use of mono in real world high traffic web applications. There are some references on the mono site (companies using mono), but I couldn't find a high traffic website sample other than Deki powered ones. And I've read some mailings about mod_mono stability problems because of inexistence of compacting GC.
Please reference your app and give some info, if is there anyone using mono in production.
...or do I have to look at Java ?

Wikipedia is using Mono for search (also listed on the companies using Mono page)
A ton of people use Mono in production and development. I'm sure this page will change dramatically over the next year or so, but look at http://www.mono-project.com/Companies_Using_Mono. This is a good reference, but projects using Mono are popping up every day, so we'll see more soon.
Lunchwalla.com uses Mono for its website. It receives fairly high traffic. There is also a little blog item regarding the set up - http://blog.lunchwalla.com/2010/04/23/the-tech-behind-lunchwalla/
Go for it. Beyond the initial setup work and tuning you can have a very stable and fast server with all the advantages of low-resource required do the the job, at least with nginx/lighttpd. mod_mono (Apache) resources will go way faster according to a lot of feedback I've been reading on the all the major places this topic is discussed
From #mono (IRC)
<ruionwriting> ahall: in apache what is your feel about the performance compared with nginx?
<ahall> the fastcgi implementation is just a bit buggy and buy sending few concurrent requests to it it hogged 99% cpu and didn't get out of it. I will switch to nginx + fastcgi as soon as its suitable for me in production
<ahall> buy = by
<ahall> but yeah i always use nginx instead of apache whenever possible, but with mono i dont recommend it
This last part I don't have to agree based on the setup I have.
This question on stack overflow must me included here.

What is the most painless and multi-platform way to use scripting?

What is the most painless and multi-platform way to use scripting?...
...for things such as
Compilation
Web application deployment
Web server controlling
Other misc. tasks around web servers...
NOTE: I'm in the Java ecosystem.
Sure, there is Apache Ant, which is pretty multi-platform, but
it isn't scripting.
Depends entirely on what environment you're working in.
For Java you can either use the JavaScript ScriptEngine that ships with the Sun JDK.
Alternatively you could use Groovy, which is a separate download but works on all modern JREs.
For general scripting I'd personally choose Python, because it's available almost everywhere and reasonably compact, while being an awsome language.
The only scripting environment that you'll find on almost all computers these days (no mater what OS/Hardware) is a JavaScript engine. But usually that's confined to the browser and doesn't really allow interaction with anything outside the browser.
I recall reading that Java and Javascript are not not related - so Joachim Sauer's answer puzzles me...
Meanwhile, the original question lists compilation; web application deployment; web server controlling and other misc tasks around web servers.
That's a very broad spectrum, but then the question wasn't 'which the best scripting language?' but 'What is the most painless and multi-platform way to use scripting?' which is not necessarily the same thing.
As BerggreenDK said 'can you elaborate?'
