Java Developer Magazine on Ulitzer
In the previous post we looked at how to configure the SQLAuthenticator
password encryption options. Among other encryption algorithms we discovered
that on creating a user from the WLS console, WLS would create the associated
user in a database table with password "password" encrypted to:
{SHA-1}W6ph5Mm5Pz8GgiULbPgzG37mj9g=
...when the SHA-1 option was set.
As was mentioned in the previous post, as the database table with its users
and passwords may be shared by non-WLS based applications, it's important
that those systems can encrypt passwords and compare them to the WLS result.
In other words, in the example above, given that WLS generated a SHA-1
encrypted password, if another system uses the same SHA-1 algorithm will it
generate the ... (more)
Oracle on Ulitzer
Do you believe that the day when programmers could focus on one language in
their jobs is gone? Thanks to the ever-changing IT landscape and the
uncertain financial times, contemporary developers are expected to work with
a wide range of platforms, frameworks, languages as essentially "masters of
all and specialists in none." You need your IDE to move with the times too,... (more)
This blog post demonstrates creating an ADF Faces RC af:tree component that
sources its data from a hierarchical database table, and supports drag n drop
of the nodes.
Both these topics have been discussed and demonstrated by other excellent
bloggers, the core of this post is to bring both concepts together, with my
usual own proof of concept documentation that may be useful to readers.

Blatant plug for SAGE Computing Services. Avert your eyes now if you're not
interested in the advert.
I was again asked today by a fellow Oracle professional, as we at SAGE
present and blog on the latest JDeveloper and APEX technologies among others,
does that mean we've dropped Oracle Forms development and teaching our Oracle
Forms training course in Australia altogether?
Not at all. Orac... (more)
In computing most technologies have lots of terms and acronyms to learn, it's
par for the course, you get used to it. However in computer security the
frustration is multiplied as there are often many different terms that mean
the same thing. It makes implementing security hard, because understanding it
is hard, and I'm not surprised why security is considered badly implemented
because t... (more)
Chris Muir, an Oracle ACE Director, senior developer and trainer, and frequent blogger at http://one-size-doesnt-fit-all.blogspot.com, has been hacking away as an Oracle consultant with Australia's SAGE Computing Services for too many years. Taking a pragmatic approach to all things Oracle, Chris has more recently earned battle scars with JDeveloper, Apex, OID and web services, and has some very old war-wounds from a dark and dim past with Forms, Reports and even Designer 100% generation. He is a frequent presenter and contributor to the local Australian Oracle User Group scene, as well as a contributor to international user group magazines such as the IOUG and UKOUG.
