MySQL macport install on Mac OS X Tiger

I have installed mysql5 macport on the MacBookPro laptop running OS X Tiger 10.4. There are a few steps that needs to be done once the port is installed. These steps are not documented (see Ticket #12694 on macports.org). So, after reading a few blogs and analyzing mysql startup error messages, I figured out what needs to be done in order to get it running. That info might be useful to others, so I’ve decided to publish the solution here. First of all, we need to create the initial database database $ sudo /opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysql_install_db --user=mysql Here is the output of the command: $ sudo ./mysql_install_db --user=mysql Installing MySQL system tables... 071118 0:06:29 [Warning] Setting lower_case_table_names=2 because file system for /opt/local/var/db/mysql5/ is case insensitive OK Filling help tables... 071118 0:06:29 [Warning] Setting lower_case_table_names=2 because file system for /opt/local/var/db/mysql5/ is case insensitive OK To start mysqld at boot time you hav...

cucumber-jvm and Android Studio

During this Winter holidays, I've been exploring a Behavior Driven Development and experimented with a couple of testing frameworks: Calabash and cucumber-jvm . In this post, I would like to describe setting up cucumber-jvm for Android Studio projects. I've extended cucumber-jvm examples with a version for Android Studio. Here is a copy in my github branch: https://github.com/mdzyuba/cucumber-jvm/tree/add_android_studio_example/examples/android/android-studio/Cukeulator . In addition to the example code, here is some details on how it was created. Dependencies The cucumber-jvm requires several libraries to be added to a project:  https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-jvm/tree/master/android I've found it's easier to add those dependencies with the Android Studio project setup dialog because it takes care of the jar versions for you.

Deploying BlazeDS to Weblogic 10.0

The BlazeDS is a free and open source J2EE application that provides data services to Adobe Flex and AIR applications. I’ve deployed it to Weblogic 10.0 server. I thought somebody else would be interested to do the same. Here is how. In case you need to install Weblogic 10.0, the developers copy is available for free at http://commerce.bea.com/products/weblogicplatform/weblogic_prod_fam.jsp . I have it installed on my Windows XP at D:\bea10 folder. I have created a new domain for my BlazeDS applications. It is easy to do, see http://edocs.bea.com/common/docs100/confgwiz/index.html for details. In my case, the domain name is blazeds and it is located in D:\bea10\user_projects\domains\blazeds folder on my computer. The domain name and the folders names can be difference, I just mentioned them so it is easier to follow the examples.. Once the Weblogic server is installed and a domain is ready, the BlazeDS applications can be deployed. A copy of BlazeDS is available...
