Josh is on his way back from Startup Camp so he won't be able to make it, but I'll be there. You know the drill.

JavaOne!

You can tell by the frequency of "will Sun open source Java?" stories and rumors flying about that JavaOne is right around the corner. My talk is exactly two weeks from now, so it's time to stop blogging and start practicing

JavaDB vs. SQLite for offline AJAX

Comments[0] 09:31AM May 02, 2006 by Dave in Java

David Berlind recently blogged about using JavaDB (aka Apache Derby) to provide the browser-based persistence needed for offline AJAX applications. The downside is that you need a JVM in the browser, but the upside is cross-browser portability. Oh, wait. Maybe the JVM requirement is an upside (for a second, I forgot I work for Sun).

Berlind didn't mention the mozStorage project, which is adding the open source SQLite database to Firefox. According to the mozStorage docs, you'll be able to issue SQL queries from JavaScript in the Firefox 3.0 timeframe. The downside is that it's Firefox only -- or may that's the upside.

org.apache.roller

We finally switched over to using the org.apache.roller package name in the Roller codebase. In related news: Apache license headers have been added to all source files and our release files have been cleansed of LGPL dependencies. Perhaps we'll graduate after all.
