Lowyat.NET -> Wifi Router hardware opens for hacking: "WRT54G is running all Linux as it's OS, it opened up the hardware to a whole bunch of hackers that are modifying it. You can do things like: # Increase the power output by 900% # Setup QoS, even using layer 7 packet inspection to determine QoS priority. # Run an Asterisk PBX on your router. # Setup a wireless hotspot (which stores billing data in a back-end SQL database). # Setup a wireless mesh network." & Snorting the WRT54G & Nyetwork Wiki: OpenWrt & HyperWRT - Home Page

So every method will typically create a connection, session, producer or consumer, do something, then close them all down again. The idea being that this will use the J2EE containers pooling mechanism to pool the JMS resources under the covers. Without using a pooled JMS provider from the EJB container this is the worst possible way of working with JMS; since typically each create/close of a connection, producer/consumer results in a request-response with the JMS broker..."

From UML to BPEL: "The Business Process Execution Language for Web Services (BPEL4WS or BPEL for short) is an XML-based standard for defining how you can combine Web services to implement business processes. It builds upon the Web Services Definition Language (WSDL) and XML Schema Definition (XSD). This article describes a new tool from part of the Emerging Technologies Toolkit version 1.1 (ETTK) released on alphaWorks (see Resources for a link), which takes processes defined in the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and generates the corresponding BPEL and WSDL files to implement that process. This capability is used to highlight some of the benefits of the Object Management Groups (OMGs) Model Driven Architecture (MDA) initiative: raising the level of abstraction at which development occurs, which, in turn, will deliver greater productivity, better quality, and insulation from underlying changes in technology."

To overcome this, you can use a different tool, such as OpenSSL, IBM's iKeyMan (GUI or command line), or Microsoft's Certificate Manager, to generate the keypair.

The PKCS12 format is an internet standard, and can be manipulated via (among other things) OpenSSL and Microsoft's Key-Manager. However, currently there are some limitations on the support for PKCS12. To import an existing certificate into a JKS keystore, please read the documentation (in your JDK documentation package) about keytool.

It lets you store phone numbers of all your friends and business associates in a simple-to-use MySQL database. But, it?s much more with Asterisk! Just call up the application in your favorite web browser from anywhere and click on the contact you want to call. AsteriDex will first call you at the number you?ve designated for this contact, and then AsteriDex connects you to your contact through an outbound call made using your Asterisk server. For those lucky enough to have GrandStream?s GXP-2000 IP phone with AutoAnswer, you can even configure AsteriDex to automatically activate the speakerphone and then place the call to the contact you?ve selected. In short, it works exactly like Microsoft?s TAPI software without the configuration nightmare or your favorite (required) Micro$oft bloatware. Installation and configuration for your Asterisk@Home system is a snap and takes less than 10 minutes."

I've used Mule in the last projects always with success. I'm interested to try ServiceMix, but I cannot find TCP/IP transport I need: We use ActiveMQ to provide the TCP, UDP, multicast, SSL transports. Then it allows us to use auto-reconnection and failover across networks use discovery to find nodes to talk to add compression onto messages reliability, transactions and XA pesistence if required store/forward publish/subscribe instead of just point to point... If you need to talk to non-Java systems then either try using a REST or Web Service stack - or you can use Stomp. All are supported nicely from ServiceMix today." & Integration Developers News - COOL

The most frameworks just demonstrate how the framework can sovle problems of trivial applications with simple table-relationships.
