Toplink

Anyways, having gotten rid of my initial JDO bias, I just started looking at what would do the job and decided that TopLink is actually really cool. It's expensive - $7000 a server - but not as much as it used to be with Bea's classic $2000 a pop for developers. It meets all the criteria in Dave's graph for top down, middle out and bottom up.[Russell Beattie comments on Toplink]
I've only heard good things about Toplink, but it sure is expensive. I wonder what kinds of deals they cut for ISVs. Imagine how expensive JIRA would be if Atlassian used Toplink at that price.

Referer log and RSS hit counter in Roller 0.9.6?

Roller suggestions Dave, if you're listening, here are my only two gripes with Roller right now. I would really really want a referrer log, and I would also like to know how many are subscribed to the RSS feed. I have a tracker which shows how many hit the webpage, but I have a feeling most people use RSS feeds (I do anyway). Add that, and I'm going to have to post a You Rule blog entry. Deal? ;-) [Valued Roller customer Rickard Oberg]
This is pretty tempting: Rickard Oberg publicly saying that "Dave rules." I could use that on my resume. All I have to do is to steal some code from MiniBlog and add an RSS hit counter? I'm in!

Victory over OC4J!

I couldn't resist solving the weird CSS problem and now Roller runs perfectly on OC4J!

The problem was this: IE was able to load the Roller style sheets, but Mozilla was not. The solution was this: add the line "text/css css" to OC4J's config/mime.types file and then delete the contents of the OC4J temporary files directory OC4J/default/roller.

Rejoice: no more install-blogging!
