Chiếc Lá!

Lá kia buồn lẻ trên cành
Đêm đông nảy lộc, duyên đành phận trao
Ngày qua tháng lại ngóng đào
Bao giờ hoa nở lá chào đón hoa

Đồi hoa nẩy mộng anh đào
Ong kia bướm nọ xúm vào xúm ra
Lặng ơi tiếng gió chiều tà
Hoa ơi có biết rằng ta ngóng nảng

...

Tiếng ai long lảnh chiều tàn
Nhạc khúc vui nhộn muôn ngàn hoa rơi
Hoa đi lá lại ...  lả lơi
Tìm trong tiếng nhạc mảnh đời ngây ngây

Rồi đây Hạ đến ấm đầy
Ru ơi khúc Hạ nắng gầy nhẹ trao
Cỏi ta còn lắm lao đao
Hạ ơi đừng nhé kiếm đào mà đi !

Mến tặng ca sĩ Nhật Hạ,

TinyWebServer.java an embedded sun httpserver implementation since JRE 1.6 less than 300 lines!

TinyWebServer.java is a Java implementation based on the embedded Sun httpserver which available since JRE 1.6. (in rt.jar) and is less than 300 lines of codes.

During my development work, I started out using the JETTY a small and lightweight web engine, but I need to attach a few jars to my projects. My automated build/deployment also need to pack these libraries as well since my test cases depend on it.

Since version 1.6 of the sun JRE, the rt.jar come with the embedded version (limited functionality) that work well, and just what I needed to set up my stub web services to ensure reliable test run. I also use this "TinyWebServer.java" for a small demo to my student as well. So, here are the codes for it. Next post I will share with you on how I use it in my JUnit test to set up and run my stub web services.

Remember, if you get errors in your eclipse project, simply remove the "System Library" and add it back, this will remove the security policy from the eclipse build.

import java.net.InetAddress;
import java.net.InetSocketAddress;
import java.net.URL;
import java.security.KeyStore;
import java.util.ArrayList;

 * @author T.A. Nguyen
 * 
 *  Tiny Embedded (Stub) Web Server, intended for testing only.  This implementation
 *  will take advantage of the "sun" httpserver package that shipped with the JRE 
 *  since release 1.6.
 *  
 *  Provide an easy creation of a TinyWebServer that can be start up and host as
 *  an embedded (secure) web server.  Just pass in the URL as you intended to access
 *  and it will attempt to host in that url, whether it is secure or not.  This 
 *  will make it an ideal to configure and setup as a unit test stub server.
 * 
 *  By default, Eclipse will add restriction to com.sun.net.httpserver.*
 *  package access, just need to remove the JRE library and add it back
 *  then it will allow you to use it.
 * 
 *  Usage: 
 *  
 *  TinyWebServer server = new TinyWebServer("https://*:8080"); 
 *  AddressBookSoap myBook = new AddressBookSoapImpl(); // your service implementation here 
 *  server.addSoapService("/ws/myBook", myBook);
 *  PersonnelSoap myHR = new StubPersonnelSoapImpl(); // my other web service, local stub 
 *  server.addSoapService("/ws/myHR", myHR); 
 *  server.start();

DailyFileAppender.java a Solution to a log4j Daily Appender with a Retention!

I use the Log4j DailyRollingFileAppender over many years and many projects but always end up controlling the retention via a Cron jobs. That's work well, but what if we can control the retention in the log4j configuration file? Wouldn't that be great? Well, that came up and I wanted to share my solution with you:

package org.cnci.util;

import java.io.File;

/**
 * Provide AS IS, no warranty!
 * 
 * Special log appender for log4j. Adds the current date (ie. year-mon) to the
 * end of the file name, so that rolling on to the next log is simply a case of
 * starting a new one - no renaming of old logs.
 * 
 * ONLY support: yyyy (yearly) | yyyy-MM (monthly) | yyyy-MM-dd (daily) |
 * yyyy-ww (weekly) yyyy-MM-dd-a (midnight, midday) | yyyy-MM-dd-HH (hourly) |
 * yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm (every minute)
 * 
 * An example log4j.properties (one log per day, retains 30 days of logs)

Double dereference for Ant Property

Just random note on solving the double dereference that ANT property will not allow.


  
 
    
    
    
    
     
    
       myApp     : ${org.cnci.firstapp}
       myCompany : ${firstCompany}
       myPackage : ${firstPackage}
       myClass   : ${firstClass}
    
 
 
 
    
    
    
       
    
 
 
 
    
    
    
    
     
    
       myApp     : ${org.cnci.secondapp}
       myCompany : ${secondCompany}
       myPackage : ${secondPackage}
       myClass   : ${secondClass}
    
 
 
 

And the output looks like this:

Simple trick to convert Date format with timezone in Java!

I am sure most of you got frustrated from the fact that SimpleDateFormat can not handle ISO8601 format. Here is my little trick to solve this nuisance.

Create a list of Know format you know that you will use for your application and apply SimpleDateFormat to the list. Now, in your formatDate() method, simply try all your known format and trap the Exception, then if still did not have a date, just use javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter.parseDateTime(date) to try it and see if that work.

Here is my DateUtils.java

package org.cnci.util;
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.ParseException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Date;

    private static final SimpleDateFormat[] allFormats = new SimpleDateFormat[] {
        //new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss.SSS a"),

        new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM d HH:mm:ss z yyyy"),
