Materials & Applications
Fiber cement is a natural, lightweight and 100% recyclable material. The ingredients are cement, powdered limestone, cellulose, synthetic fibers, water and air. Combining fiber and cement produces all the benefits of a durable concrete product, with considerably less weight.
Fiber Cement is a versatile material with a wide range of applications, well suited for commercial, hospitality and residential use. It can be used in any outdoor or indoor environment, including areas with high and low temperatures. The material is a useful solution for weight sensitive locations as well, including balconies, rooftops, etc.
Fiber cement resists heat, rain and snow, all while remaining light and fire resistant. It is a concrete-like material that withstands weather and is frost-proof when used properly (no standing water). The material cannot be harmed by decay or corrosion.
The fiber cement material also resists fading and does not readily conduct heat (similar to a concrete product). Our pieces are unaffected by salt water and will not rust, as there is no metal or ferrous material contained.
Our products are made to last. With proper care, our planters will most likely outlast the life of your plants. Both planters and furnishings have been known to maintain their integrity for several decades.
Our containers can accommodate both deep and shallow rooted plants, as well as clumping or running bamboo. Since our pieces are suited for all types of weather, they work well for everything from perennial flowers on the east coast to cactus in the west.
Plants are able to breathe and regulate their own moisture in fiber cement containers, due to the material's natural compounds. Plants thrive in fiber cement, and are kept safe and happy.
Design, Craftsmanship & Options
Each piece is hand-formed and signed by individual artisans in Switzerland. All of our planters and furnishings are made using a regulated form. This process allows every product within a collection to maintain the same thickness, dimensions and color, with slight natural variations to the finish.
Material samples of our fiber cement are available upon request.
Our standard colors are cement gray and anthracite (dark charcoal gray). The cement gray color darkens slightly when wet, but returns to its natural color once dry. Anthracite products retain their original color even when wet. Our square line offers additional colors, as noted per product.
Custom colors are available, with the requirement of a minimum order, additional lead-time and added cost. For customized color, we offer the European RAL color system.
Well-known European designers Rainer Mutsch, Michel Bruggmann and Martin Mostboeck provide the basis for our current line of award-winning planter and furnishing designs. Since Willy Guhl presented his beach chair over 50 years ago, designers have been inspired to examine the potential of fiber cement. In addition, students at the renowned Ecole Cantonale d'Art de Lausanne (ECAL) recently experimented with fiber cement with remarkable success.
We can accommodate custom orders. Each custom piece requires the creation of a master form as well as the individual pieces purchased, and cost will be reflected. Prices can be quoted upon request.
We also offer a "custom-line" of square and rectangular planter shapes, which allows for custom sizes. Please inquire for details.
All plant containers come with a predrilled drainage hole, which can be plugged for indoor usage. In addition, the fiber cement material allows you to drill customized drainage or irrigation as needed. Larger pieces also have a special water over-spill facility (water reservoir).
Care & Maintenance
With proper care, our planters will most likely outlast the life of your plants. Both planters and furnishings have been known to maintain their integrity for several decades.
Our pieces resist heat, rain and snow, all while remaining light and fire resistant. Fiber cement is a concrete-like material that withstands weather and is frost-proof when used properly (no standing water). The material cannot be harmed by decay or corrosion.
The material also resists fading and does not readily conduct heat (similar to a concrete product). Our pieces are unaffected by salt water and will not rust, as there is no metal contained.
Pieces should be cleaned with soap and water, and a soft sponge. Raw cement pieces (light gray) may also be cleaned with an agent such as TSP or equivalent.

Behind the Scenes
Meet the Designer: Rainer
We often speak of Greenform's commitment to providing individually hand-crafted pieces. For a closer look behind the scenes, we invite you to meet Rainer Mutsch, one of the designers creating our planters.
Read on for part one of our series on Rainer's process and perspective.
Engineering Simplicity
"I have an engineering background but when I am starting on a new design I try to clear my mind and focus on more philosophical, social and poetic aspects. Sketching is my main tool to narrow down and bring to paper what is important for me.
It's a constant progress of eliminating unnecessary details and shapes till you get to the point where you can´t take anything away anymore. I like timeless design, which is reduced to its essential elements but still has the potential to evoke emotion — which look new and fresh, but still create the feeling of familiarity for the recipient."
Natural Inspirations
"It is very important that the design of the planter underlines the beauty of the plants and acts as kind of a stage for it. When I am working on a new planter I always ask myself how does the form and shape interact with the surrounding plants and outdoor environments?
In the case of "Palma" for example, palm-tree stems have been very inspirational for me and finally where the solution for a technical problem. Each hand formed fiber cement ring is connected via an overlap and together they grow into planters of up to 106cm height."
Connecting to the Material
"To quote the Swiss designer Willy Guhl (1915-2004), "there is no 'good' or 'bad' material, what makes the difference is its right and adequate use." My designs are in general material driven. Before I start with the first sketch I love to take my time and visit the production facilities, talk to the workers about the material´s advantages and disadvantages and learn about its history.
I select materials very carefully, based on its future function and usage. So, due to the fact that fiber cement was used over the last 100 years as a cladding and roofing material, the objects made of it are very durable and proven to be perfect for year-round outdoor use. My aim is to develop tailor made designs, and I love when final products tell a story about the material and how it was made."
Facing Design Challenges
"For me, "Dune" was very demanding project. Knowing the production machinery very well, my aim was to create a piece of furniture made out of one entire fiber cement plate with practically no offcuts. Therefore, I had to push the material to its limits.
A lot of research and many prototypes (spanning 1.5 years) were necessary in order to get the maximum stability out of the 3D-deformed fiber cement. Eventually, the geometry of the chair supported its stability through the controlled expansion and compression of the material. Dune combines maximum stability with minimal material thickness.
My happiest moment was when I received the test results for public space requirements. We had to reach at least 250kg (weight load on seating surface) – but through Dune´s special geometry we have reached almost 1000kg. That's how you make a designer smile!"

LUDINGTON, MI – National Public Radio listeners learned Monday evening about the community drama and anxiety in the home of the S.S. Badger because of uncertainty about the future of the historic coal-fired Lake Michigan ferry.
NPR's Noah Adams kicked off a series called "Town Journal" by visiting Ludington and telling the national radio audience on the signature news program "All Things Considered" about the issue of the Badger's coal ash discharges into the lake. The Badger also was the subject of a New York Times story last year concerning special Congressional legislation to keep the Badger operating.
Adams reported on the pending Environmental Protection Agency decision on a Lake Michigan Carferry Inc. request for an extension of a discharge permit that expired Dec. 19. The Badger owners are asking for permission to continue dumping coal ash slurry from the ship into Lake Michigan as they explore alternative propulsion and waste disposal systems.
An EPA website for the federal agency's regional office in Chicago had been stating that a tentative decision on the Badger discharge permit request was expected by "March 1" but at the end of February the message was changed to the decision is "anticipated in March 2013." The preliminary EPA decision would then be subject to a public comment period before the final order is made.
Adams reported to his NPR listeners that the Badger "will indeed open this 2013 sailing season the first week in May" as the final EPA decision is not expected by the first day of operations on May 6. Without EPA action, the Badger would be operating and discharging coal ash without a federal permit.
As with local and state media, Lake Michigan Carferry officials declined to discuss the environmental and operational issues involving the Badger with NPR while the EPA is reviewing the company's permit application. The Ludington-based company also asked its employees not to speak to the media, Adams reported.
Going down to the Ludington harbor to view the Badger, here is how one of NPR's leading news personalities described what he saw: "She's 60 years old, almost frozen in ice and in time. The hull is black, upper decks white, black smokestack. The ship is longer, by far, than a football field … We lean back to see the pilot house. It's five-stories above us."
Most of the NRP segment on Ludington and the Badger explored the relationship the Badger has had with the small coastal community since 1953.
Adams spoke to a construction company owner, a mental health worker who is a ferry boat history buff because his father was a chief engineer in the ferry boat fleet, a theater instructor at West Shore Community College, head of the Ludington Arts Council, a science teacher at Ludington High School and the head of the Ludington convention and visitors bureau.
Some of NPR's Ludington voices were not concerned about the coal ash discharges while others wanted the ship stop the Lake Michigan dumping but all voiced support for their hometown ferry.
Adams asked Brandy Henderson of the visitor's bureau what possibly losing the service of the Badger from Ludington to Manitowoc, Wis., would mean to her community.
"We obviously have great beaches, the top state park in Michigan and many other assets of why people are coming here," Henderson said. "But certainly the car ferry is the icon of our community. And without it, I think, we will be missing a large part of our identity."
Adams will continue his Town Journal series on "All Things Considered" looking at other small towns facing major changes, the radio network reported. Listen to his Ludington report here.
As Adams goes on to another town and another story, the Badger website states the ship's 60th anniversary season will begin May 6 saying its fares "just $60 per adult and $60 per auto one way are the lowest prices offered in several years!"

IBM WebSphere Application Server V7 delivers an enhanced Java Persistence API (JPA) implementation that supports pureQuery and, therefore, static SQL for DB2. This article describes how you can take advantage of the performance and security of static SQL, offered via IBM Data Studio pureQuery Runtime, while at the same time using JPA for its complete object-relational capabilities. Itâs almost like having your cake and eating it, too.
Following some brief introductory information on static SQL and pureQuery. this article compares and contrasts dynamic (JDBC) access versus static (pureQuery) through JPA in more detail. You will see how to use the static generator (wsdb2gen) utility in WebSphere Application Server V7 to generate SQL, and then how to bind the generated SQL into DB2 packages. The article concludes with a brief overview on how to use the pureQuery client optimization capability as a complement to the static generator capability described here.
This article assumes a basic familiarity with JPA. See Resources for helpful background information. To perform the steps in this article, you will need to have pureQuery Runtime. For the purpose of this article, you can use the pureQuery Runtime contained in Data Studio Developer, which is available for download in a trial version.
The basics
What is Static SQL?
Static SQL in DB2 is a powerful capability that can streamline data access at run time by doing some of the work ahead of time, such as determining the database access path. This can make the runtime perform faster and in a more consistent manner.
Figure 1. Static execution is more efficient than dynamic
The security model for static SQL is also different than for dynamic SQL. With static SQL, users only receive privileges to execute the output of the bind process, known as the package, and that package contains the SQL statements. In other words, if all access to a table is static, the DBA would not need to grant access to the entire table or view, just to the package. In addition, the more SQL that can be executed statically means less opportunity for malicious injection, which is a well-known security issue with dynamic SQL.
See Resources for more information on static SQL.
What is pureQuery?
pureQuery is a high-performance data access platform that makes it easier to develop, optimize, secure, and manage data access. It consists of:
- APIs built for ease of use and to simplify the use of best practices.
- Development tools, delivered in Data Studio Developer, for Java and SQL development.
- A runtime, delivered in Data Studio pureQuery Runtime, for optimizing database access and simplifying management tasks.
pureQuery can help you code data access in a way that helps optimize performance. In addition, the ease of switching to static SQL when accessing DB2 data helps with both performance (static generally runs faster) and with security. pureQuery has a number of benefits over JDBC and SQLJ. For example, pureQuery does not require a customizer and does not require the SQL statements to be hardcoded in the source of the application for static execution.
The pureQuery integration delivered with WebSphere Application Server V7 requires the addition of the Data Studio pureQuery Runtime, purchased separately. Data Studio Developer is currently optional.
See Resources for more information about pureQuery.
Dynamic execution JPA: JDBC
In the Feature Pack for EJB™ 3 for WebSphere Application Server V6.1, the JPA implementation uses JDBC as the API to the database server. Each JDBC call is dynamic in nature and requires the SQL statement to be parsed and optimized at run time. Figure 2 shows the flow from a JPA application to the database using JDBC.
Figure 2. The flow from application to database using JDBC
Static execution JPA: pureQuery
In WebSphere Application Server V7, you have the option to choose pureQuery instead of JDBC for accessing DB2 data. The flow from a JPA application to the database using pureQuery is shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3. The flow from application to database using pureQuery
As Figure 3 shows, the process of enabling static SQL using pureQuery consists of these steps:
- A generation time step to gather the SQL and create the DB2 packages.
- A run time step, in which the JPA database calls are redirected to the pureQuery Runtime and to the appropriate DB2 package that contains the preprocessed SQL statements.
Generation step: Collecting SQL statements and creating database packages
The JPA utility used to collect SQL statements is called the static generator and is invoked using wsdb2gen in your %WAS_HOME%\bin directory, as shown in Figure 3. This utility takes as input the persistence unit name along with other parameters, and generates an output file consisting of SQL statements required by all entity operations, including persist, remove, update, and find. It also generates the SQL statements needed in the execution of JPA named queries. The SQL statements from the dynamic queries (as opposed to the named queries) cannot be generated by the static generator. (How you can capture these statements at run time using the pureQuery client optimization capability is discussed later.)
Know that before invoking this tool, you will need to set the classpath to your pdq runtime JARs, your db2jcc JAR, and your entity class JAR (or the directory where your enhanced entity classes reside), and the location of the persistence.xml file.
For the purpose of this article, a JPA_EE_SAMPLE.ear file, included for you to download, is used as an example to walk you through the steps needed to collect statements and create packages. This sample application lets you create, update, and delete customers and retrieve orders. The persistence unit name of this sample is JPASample.
Generating SQL using static binder utility
Listing 1 shows you the syntax and how to invoke the static binder utility wsdb2gen using the command line.
Listing 1. Invoking wsdb2gen from the command line
C:\was70\bin>wsdb2gen Syntax: WSDB2GEN -pu <puName> [Flags] Where puName Persistence-unit name defined in the persistence.xml -collection collectionId Collection id assigned to package names. Default is NULLID. -url type 2 or The URL is used to validate generated sql. type 4 url If url option is specified, if overrides the url value in the persistence.xml. If the url is type 4, userid and password are required for connection. If the url is type2, userid and password are not required. -user user The userid to connect to target datebase. If user option is specified, it overrides the user value in the persistence.xml. -pw password The password to connect to target datebase. If password option is specified, it overrides the value in the persistence.xml. -package packageName A name of 7 or fewer characters for the package name. If specified, all SQL for the application will be generated into this single package. If package option is not specified, then multiple packages will be created; one for each entity class. If the first 7 characters are not unique, the package name will be changed to ensure uniqueness. -help C:\was70\bin>set classpath=C:\db2jcc.jar;C:\pdq.jar;C:\pdqmgmt.jar;%classpath% C:\was70\bin>set classpath=C:\test1\bin;%classpath% C:\was70\bin>wsdb2gen -pu JPASample -url jdbc:db2://localhost:50000/demodb -user db2admin -pw passw0rd
As you can see in Listing 1, the command used to invoke the utility for the JPASample is:
wsdb2gen âpu JPASample âurl jdbc:db2://localhost:50000/demodb âuser db2admin âpw passw0rd
The output of the command is a file consisting of persistence unit name followed by a suffix of .pdqxml. In this case, the file is named JPASample.pdqxml. The pdqxml file is written to the same directory as your persistence.xml file. The pdqxml file needs to be packaged inside your archive file in the same location as the persistence.xml configuration file, usually the META-INF directory.
Binding the packages using the command line
The PureQuery static binder will use the pu.pdqxml file to create DB2 packages. The static binder can be invoked from inside the WebSphere Application Server administrative console or by using administration commands:
- Start wsadmin from the command line by entering:
wsadmin -lang jython
- To invoke the static binder, you need to know the bind files in the
application. To list pureQuery bind files in the JPA_EE_SAMPLE application, enter this command:
print AdminTask.listPureQueryBindFiles('[-appName JPA_EE_SAMPLE]')
- Once you have the bind files, you can use the command below to invoke static binder on them:
Listing 2. Command to invoke static binder
print AdminTask.processPureQueryBindFiles( '[-appName JPA_EE_SAMPLE -classpath [C:\\pdq.jar C:\\pdqmgmt.jar C:\\db2jcc.jar] -url jdbc:db2://localhost:50000/demodb -user db2admin -password passw0rd -options [-bindoptions "BLOCKING NO"] -files [JPA_W_EJB.jar\\META-INF\\JPASample.pdqxml] ]')
Note: the pdqmgmt.jar constains the license needed to run the pureQuery Runtime.
- You can use this command to display the complete syntax for processPureQueryBindFiles:
print AdminTask.help('processPureQueryBindFiles')
Listing 3 shows you the commands described above and the output. You can see that, by default, four flavors of each package are created; the numerals 1 through 4 are appended to each package to distinguish the isolation level for that package, one for each database locking isolation level.
Listing 3. Use command line tool to create DB2 packages
C:\was70\bin>wsadmin -lang jython wsadmin>print AdminTask.listPureQueryBindFiles('[-appName JPA_EE_SAMPLE]') JPA_W_EJB.jar\META-INF\JPASample.pdqxml wsadmin>print AdminTask.help('processPureQueryBindFiles') WASX8006I: Detailed help for command: processPureQueryBindFiles Description: Process the pureQuery bind files that are in an installed application.

Binding the packages using the admin console
You might find it easier to use the WebSphere Application Server admin console to bind your packages:
- Select and double-click the JPA_EE_SAMPLE application (Figure 4).
Figure 4. Select the sample application
- Double-click SQLJ profiles and pureQuery bind files under Database
Profiles in the bottom right corner (Figure 5).
Figure 5. Select SQLJ profiles and pureQuery bind files from admin console
- The admin console automatically displays the pdqxml file that is packaged
in your application. Select the pdqxml file and click the Add button (Figure
Figure 6. Select the pdqxml file for your application
- Your pureQuery bind file (JPASample.pdqxml) is selected and ready to be
bound. Enter values for Database URL, User ID, password, and set the
classpath to pdq.jar; pdqmgmt.jar; db2jcc.jar. Click OK. (Figure 7)
Figure 7. Use admin console to create DB2 packages
- Figure 8 shows you that the bind succeeded.
Figure 8. Bind succeeds and DB2 packages are generated
Optional: Customizing bind options
You can provide a bindprops file in your EAR file to fine-tune your bind options, or to bind more than one pdqxml file. Listing 4 is a sample bindprops file that lists three pdqxml files and different bind options for each pdqxml file.
Listing 4. Sample bindprops file
# Artifact 1 META-INF\myPureQueryXmlFile1.pdqxml = -rootPkgName myPkg1 -bindOptions "bind options" -generateDBRM true -outputDBRMPath C:\myDRMDirectory5\myDBRMSubDirectory1 -isolationLevel UR # Artifact 2 META-INF\myPureQueryXmlFile2.pdqxml = -rootPkgName myPkg2 -pkgVersion -ver6 # Artifact 3 META-INF\JPASample.pdqxml =
You can package the bindprops file along with your persistence.xml file and the pdqxml (JPASample.pdqxml in this case), either:
- In the META-INF directory of the EJB JAR file (JPA_W_EJB.jar/META-INF), as shown in Figure 9.
- Directly in the root of the EAR file (JPA_EE_SAMPLE.ear), as shown in Figure 10.
Either way, WebSphere Application Server will automatically detect the bind file and display it accordingly.
Figure 9. The bind file packaged in JPA_W_EJB.jar/META-INF
Figure 10. The bind file packaged in the root directory of JPA_EE_SAMPLE.ear
With the pdqxml files in the bindprops file bound successfully, you are ready to run your application using static SQL.
Execution step: Run JPA application with pureQuery
Grant execute authority on the package (optional)
In Listing 3, you bound the SQL statements in JPASample.pdqxml without granting any privileges to the package, which means that the package owner is the only one who has execute privileges on the package. To grant package execution privileges to the public, you can use the grant keyword. For example, the following command grants execute privileges on the package to public:
Listing 5. Command to grant privileges
wsadmin>print AdminTask.processPureQueryBindFiles('[-appName JPA_EE_SAMPLE -classpath [C:\\openjpadep\\pdq.jar C:\\openjpadep\\pdqmgmt.jar C:\\openjpadep\\db2jcc.jar ] -url jdbc:db2://localhost:50000/demodb -user db2admin -password passw0rd -options [-bindoptions "BLOCKING NO" -grant "grantees(public)"] -files [JPA_W_EJB.jar\META-INF\ JPASample.pdqxml]]')
To grant to specific users (such as admf002 and admf003), you would enter:
-grant "grantees(admf002, admf003)"
The grant option to the static binder can be added using the WebSphere
Application Server admin console. Again, in Figure 7, no additional option is
provided, so only the owner has the execution privilege to the package. Figure
11 shows that
-grant grantee(public) is added in Additional options, which gives execute privileges on the packages to the public.
Figure 11. Grant execute privilege on package to the public using admin console
How to run the sample application
You can directly deploy the sample application included with this article on
to WebSphere Application Server V7, or you can import the .ear file into your
IBM Rational® Application Developer 7.5 workspace. After importing the
.ear sample file into your workspace, you can run the Web project,
JPA_W_EJB_WEB, on WebSphere Application Server V7. You can also type this URL
into your browser to run the sample application:
Figure 12. Run the sample
To verify that the SQL ran, turn on WebSphere trace by navigating to Logging and Tracing => server1 => Diagnostic trace service => change log details levels, and set:
*=info: JPA=all: openjpa=all: SystemErr=all: SystemOut=all: com.ibm.pdq=all
After creating a customer, open the WebSphere trace.log file. The following trace indicates that the SQL to create a customer is indeed run statically.
[11/24/08 12:07:30:239 PST] 00000016 OpenJPA 3
wsjpa.pdq: Trace: PDQ static sql: INSERT INTO SALES.CUSTOMER (id, name) VALUES (?,
Using pureQuery client optimization to find and bind additional SQL (optional)
Admittedly, not every SQL statement generated from your application will be executed statically in the way described above. For example, dynamic JPQL queries are not gathered by wsdb2gen. Depending on your application, you might be happy with the results you get using wsdb2gen. However, if you have a significant amount of SQL that cannot be gathered using the static generator, you can capture the SQL during execution using the pureQuery client optimization capability in Data Studio Developer and pureQuery Runtime. An overview of the steps are provided here, but you are strongly encouraged to complete the client optimization tutorial.
As mentioned earlier, with client optimization you capture SQL while the application is running, preferably with a good set of tests that exercise most or all use cases. The output of that process is a pdqxml file that contains the successfully executed dynamic SQL statements. You can then bind that file as described above, or by using the Data Studio Developer tools (as described in the tutorial).
Figure 13 shows the flows from application to the database using pureQuery client optimization.
Figure 13. The flows from application to database when using pureQuery client optimization
Enabling client optimization using the command line
- Enable pureQuery capture. The pureQuery capture functionality can be enabled in the connection URL. Listing 6 shows how to turn on the capture functionality in the ConnectionProperties in your persistence.xml file.
Listing 6. Enabling SQL capture in the connection URL
<!-- PDQ dynamic mode --> <property name="openjpa.ConnectionProperties" value="DriverClassName=com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver,Url='jdbc:db2://localhost: 50000/demodb:pdqProperties=executionMode(DYNAMIC),captureMode(on),pureQueryXml (c://mycapture.pdqxml);',Username=db2admin,Password=passw0rd" />
Notice that the pdqProperties are appended to the normal connect URL to enable the capture function and to specify the name of the output file where the captured SQL statements are written.
- After enabling the capture function, all you have to do is to run your application. During execution of your application, pureQuery will capture all the successfully executed dynamic SQL statements; in other words, since the statements you gathered with static binder have already been converted to static, they will not be captured again. Those statements will be written to the output file as specified in your pdqProperties. As shown in the example above, you will find a file called mycapture.pdqxml created in the c drive (c://mycapture.pdqxml).
- Set the classpath to your pdq.jar and pdqmgmt.jar files and run the Configure utility to add collection, package, and section number information to the previously captured information, as shown in Listing 7.
Important: Be sure to use a different package name or collection ID than you used for the static generator bind to ensure that unique packages are created for the captured SQL versus the packages you created for the generated SQL. If you donât keep these unique, you will likely see
SQLCODE -818when you execute the application.
Listing 7. Configuring mycapture.pdqxml
C:\test>java com.ibm.pdq.tools.Configure -pureQueryXml C://mycapture.pdqxml -rootPkgName pkg1 -collection coll1
- Bind mycapture.pdqxml at the server where the application is to execute.
Listing 8. Binding mycapture.pdqxml to create DB2 packages
C:\test>java com.ibm.pdq.tools.StaticBinder -pureQueryXml C://mycapture.pdqxml -user db2admin -password passw0rd -url jdbc:db2://localhost:50000/demodb
At this point, you should have successfully bound to the database the SQL statements that were missing during the generation time using static generator.
- Now, when you run your application again, be sure to turn off capture mode, as shown in Listing 9.
Listing 9. Run the application with capture turned off
<!-- PDQ static mode --> <property name="openjpa.ConnectionProperties" value="DriverClassName=com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver,Url='jdbc:db2://localhost: 50000/demodb:pdqProperties=executionMode(STATIC),captureMode(off),pureQueryXml (c://mycapture.pdqxml);',Username=db2admin,Password=passw0rd" />
- Optional. To verify that all SQL statements are executed statically, add
allowDynamicSQL(false)to your pdqProperties, as shown in Listing 10. With the property set this way, any SQL statements from the application that are not bound to the database will result in an SQL error. This is an effective way to guard against malicious SQL injection.
Listing 10. Disallow any dynamic execution
<!-- PDQ static mode --> <property name="openjpa.ConnectionProperties" value="DriverClassName=com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver,Url='jdbc:db2://local host:50000/demodb:pdqProperties=executionMode(STATIC),captureMode(off), allowDynamicSQL(false),pureQueryXml(c://mycapture.pdqxml);',Username=db2admin, Password=passw0rd" />
Enabling client optimization using the admin console
For J2EE™ applications, you can enable and disable capture mode by setting pdqProperties as a DataSource CustomProperties in WebSphere Application Server. After the SQL statements are captured in the output file, you can then configure and bind them as described in Listings 7 and 8, and run your application in the production environment.
- To set pdqProperties in WebSphere Application Server, click on Data Sources under JDBC within the Resources category in the left panel.
- Select the Data source used by your application, which is BasicPdqXADataSource in this example, and double-click (Figure 14).
Figure 14. Select the Data source (BasicPdqXADataSource)
- To add pdqProperties to the BasicPdqXADataSource, navigate to
Additional Properties => Custom Properties on the right side of the console (Figure 15).
Figure 15. Add pdqProperties to the BasicPdqXADataSource
- Click New to add new Custom Properties, then enter or select these
values, as shown in Figure 16:
- Name:
- Value:
executionMode(DYNAMIC),captureMode(on), pureQueryXml(c://mycapture.pdqxml)
- Type: java.lang.String
Figure 16. Add pdqProperties to custom properties to enable capture of dynamic SQL
- Name:
- Click OK to save this property. You will need to restart the server for this property to take effect.
- At this point, you would run the application, then configure and bind the capture file as described earlier.
- After you have bound packages and are ready to run the application again, turn off capture mode and specify static execution, as shown in Figure 17.
Figure 17. Turn off capture mode in pdqProperties
pureQuery has emerged as IBMâs new paradigm for Java data access, and includes tools, a runtime, and an API. One key advantage of pureQuery over SQLJ is the ease of enabling static SQL access in a way that is more streamlined.
This article discussed the seamless integration between pureQuery and JPA and presented two approaches to enabling static execution for your JPA applications that access DB2 data servers. The static generator in WebSphere Application Server V7 provided a way to get going quickly with pureQuery, as the wsdb2gen utility can introspect your entity classes, generate appropriate CRUD statements from your entity classes, and also generate SQL for named queries. pureQuery client optimization, on the other hand, captures actively executing SQL statements. Rather than generating all possible SQL, it instead captures only what runs successfully. Ideally, it requires that you have good test cases that exercise all possible code paths.
These two approaches are complementary. As mentioned earlier, some SQL might not be generated from the static generator (for example, dynamic JPQL). You can run wsdb2gen and bind the SQL statements first, and then turn on client optimization to capture any SQL statements missing by the wsdb2gen.
We encourage you to give both approaches a try.

One of Siteman's favorite images was taken at the Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge in Concord, Massachusetts. He says, "This picture could not have been made without the advantage of the tripod's noninvasive qualities. No motorized vehicles are allowed into this pristine environment and since the tripod is light and on wheels, we were able to take it out between the lagoons and get the overview usually seen only by local water fowl.
"The tripod has made me feel very safe in a way because my subject is now diminutive. I am above them—Zeus sitting on his cloud looking at the little people below!"

Elvis Costello
~ Person
Are you thinking of adding an Elvis Costello album? Have you checked that the album doesn't already exist under one of his many collaborations like Elvis Costello & The Attractions, The Imposter or Elvis Costello & The Imposters?
It's a common mistake. If you're not 100% sure of what you're about to do, check there first as it will save you the effort of adding it only to have the add voted down.... Thanks for listening.
Born: Declan Patrick McManus on Aug 25, 1954 in Liverpool, England
Legal name: Declan Patrick MacManus
Also performs as: The Emotional Toothpaste, The Imposter (Elvis Costello)
Declan Patrick MacManus (born 25 August 1954), better known by his stage name Elvis Costello, is an English musician, singer-songwriter, and record producer. He began his career as part of London's pub rock scene in the early 1970s and later became associated with the first wave of the British punk and new wave movement that emerged in the mid-to-late 1970s. His critically acclaimed debut album, My Aim Is True, was released in 1977. Shortly after recording it, he formed the Attractions as his backing band. His second album, This Year's Model, was released in 1978, and was ranked number 11 by Rolling Stone on its list of the best albums from 1967–1987. His third album, Armed Forces, was released in 1979, and features his most successful single "Oliver's Army". His first three albums all appeared on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
Costello and the Attractions toured and recorded together for the better part of a decade, though differences between them caused a split by 1986. Much of Costello's work since has been as a solo artist, though reunions with members of the Attractions have been credited to the group over the years. Steeped in wordplay, the vocabulary of Costello's lyrics is broad. His music has drawn on many diverse genres; one critic described him as a "pop encyclopaedia", able to "reinvent the past in his own image".
He has won multiple awards in his career, including a Grammy Award, and has twice been nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Male Singer. In 2003, Costello and the Attractions were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked Costello number 80 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
Costello has also co-written several original songs for motion pictures, including "God Give Me Strength" from Grace of My Heart (1996, with Burt Bacharach) and "The Scarlet Tide" from Cold Mountain (2003, with T-Bone Burnett). For the latter, Costello was nominated (along with Burnett) for the Academy Award for Best Original Song and the Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media.

Picture yourself spending some time with congenial friends, sharing your lives and pictures from your cell phones." They're curious about that cool game, song, movie, camping trip, art show, or other event that fascinated you. You talk about all kinds of stuff, poetry, styles, personal achievements, relationships, and bad days. You can share your inner child, and laugh together. They sympathetically listen to your feelings about serious topics like politics or climate change, even when they don't agree.
Personal validation comes from paying attention to one another, giving more than you get. Everyone respects you and themselves, despite our amazing range of personal tastes and interests. They'll tell you they don't agree with an idea or behavior without implying you're a bad person or somehow deficient. It's an "I'm OK, You're OK" kind of fellowship, where nobody tries to make himself look better by picking on somebody else.
Nobody here is into mind games. A discussion started with a loaded guilt-throwing question will be deleted.
This group is not intended to compete with other groups on topics they cover but to "fill in the cracks." Whenever a discussion dwells at length on a topic for which there's an existing group, we urge you to provide members a link to that group to continue along their tangent.
A comment is a shout-out, which will get lost in a few days, because the comment wall is just a random stack.
Please start a discussion to share stories, photos, and videos. Replies will pop up in your "latest activity" and a conversation can develop from the feelings and thoughts you contributed. Groups are built on discussions.

Love the video!
Ruth, I hear Mom say my name.
I took care of her off and on for the last 9 years of her life (she made it to 87, despite metastatic cancer, and various other ailments after she was cancer-free), and I also still simetimes wake up thinking I have to go in her room to check on her before I'm completely awake.
Another weird thing...in the fall of 1957 I was 17, and on my first tour with HOI, and about half the show had come down with the first wave of Asian Flu. I did NOT write home about that. By my 18th birthday, I was pretty sick, but I decided to splurge and call home, anyway (from Macon, GA. Remember how much long distance calls cost back then?). The first thing mother said when she picked up the phone was NOT "Happy Birthday!" She said, "What's WRONG?"
Beautiful video sk8eycat - wish it didn't end...
Hello - I think that is just awesome Ruth.
Always something new and amazing about the natural world and ourselves.
Thanks everyone - love the discussion.
Sk8eycat, I'd like to reply to your hearing your mother's name. We have language only in the higher brain, with one exception, recognizing the calls of mothers to children. Just like the penguin who can find her chick in a colony of tens of thousands by recognizing his cry, mammals know their mother's call with the lymbic system. I had a similar experience once, when I was lonely, and just as I was falling asleep I thought I heard family quietly moving about in the house (as if I were not alone). It was comforting. We have these primitive brain memories of being loved, and can call them up involuntarily with an inner voice. I've learned to be comfortable with these primitive parts of myself.
I don't mean to interrupt the discussion about "supernatural" feelings and illusions, but a friend just forwarded this to me, and I think it's GA-LOR-IOUS!
What about the feeling one gets when experiencing something uncanny or strange? That feeling of being so weirded out you're not sure how to react? And I mean, really weirded out.
I'll give you two examples. Once, when I was about 5, I saw an opossum on a neighbours' back patio. They are not native to the region I grew up in, and he was likely an escaped pet. I had never seen an opossum before, and it was like seeing a freaking unicorn. It was so bizarre, and I'll never forget how weird that felt. This must be how people feel when they think they've seen Bigfoot.
The second time, I was 12, star gazing with my family at my aunt and uncle's house and we saw a UFO. No really--it was flying, it was in the sky, I didn't know what the heck it was. Now I know I probably some sort of US stealth or flying wing aircraft, but at the time I was unfamiliar with them. Mix in the fact that it was night, flying very high and UFO themes were popular on TV at the time, and well, there's yer problem. ;)
I'd sort of like to be able to have that experience again. I see things that confuse and astound me, but I haven't been put in my place by weirdness in a long time.

'Justified' Emmy winner joins FX's 'Americans' cast
Margo Martindale will appear in at least eight episodes
The already-strong cast of FX's "The Americans" just got a little bit stronger with the addition of one of the cable network's Emmy-winning stars.
FX announced on Wednesday (Dec. 12) that Margo Martindale is joining "The Americans" for at least eight episodes.
The freshman drama is scheduled to premiered on Wednesday, January 30 at 10 p.m.
Set in the 1980s, "The Americans" focuses on a pair of KGB spies (Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell) living near Washington, DC and pretending to be a normal couple. Per FX, Martindale will play Claudia, another KGB agent and the primary contact for our main characters.
While she has done "A Gifted Man" and the occasional guest spot more recently, Martindale is best known for her season as Mags Bennett on "Justified," a role that brought her an Emmy win, as well as myriad other awards notices. Martindale can next be seen on the big screen in "Beautiful Creatures."

Face wash is the backbone of your skincare regimen, but an ordinary cleanser won't tackle the layers of dead skin cells that build up over time—and make skin look dull. Enter this multi-purpose formula. Part lathering cream, part gentle scrub, it cuts through oil and grime while clearing the way for new, healthy skin cells and lifting facial hair for a smoother shave. Packed with nourishing vitamins, it could almost be called an overachiever...almost.
I have been using this for years and I love it. It's a little gritty but feels good. I have sensitive skin and most other face washes make my skin feel very dry. This one does not. It leaves me clean and fresh without feeling like I've been stripped of all the moisture out of my skin.5
My boyfriend likes this face wash because it helps get rid of dry flaky skin and his face really feels clean and soft after he uses it. He thinks it's too expensive to buy for himself since it is face wash. However, I'm happy to do it through Birchbox since I get extra benefits too.5
So, this is a 'guy's product' and I'm not a gut, but my husband is just never gonna use this, and well, I'm always looking for a good every-day cleanser.
Other folks (guys) have pointed out that since this has an exfloiant in it that it wouldn't be for everyday use, and I would have to agree. Even though whatever is being used to 'scrub' is quite tiny, I couldn't find an ingredient list for whatever those bits are...almond shells? Rocks? Pplastic? Who knows...but I sure would like to.
The packaging says it's unscented, but I found notes of whiskey, grass and mint. There is a slight tingle after using it, so there must be some sort of menthol.
If your man is the out-doorsy type this is for him....the exfoliants will slough off sun-dried, wind chapped skin, heavy machinery lube, mighty redwood saw dust and SPF. I think he'll smell like Earnest Hemingway after.

Anyone using McGraw-Hill Connect with Blackboard?
Are you using the McGraw-Hill Connect add-on for Blackboard? We have a faculty member interested in trying it, and we're trying to identify and address any information security concerns and legal issues. As we understand it, when an instructor chose a McGraw-Hill textbook for use in a class, students would create accounts with McGraw-Hill, and they would take quizzes and other assessments on McGraw-Hill web sites, with test results being somehow pushed back into our Blackboard system. We have concerns whenever an external system proposes to push information into one of our systems (whose credentials are used? can we trust them to push only "good" information? what are the data breach risks?). We also have concerns about storing FERPA-protected education records in external systems. In terms of credentials, how do we know the student who signs up with Connect is really the student in our class? And how do we get them to not use their university ID and password for the Connect site; or, better, would McGraw-Hill accept Shibboleth credentials?
We understand other publishers are rolling out similar services. If you are using, or planning to use, Connect or a similar service, we would be very interested in knowing whether you have had security concerns, and how you have satisfied them.
Best regards,
Dean Williams
Information Security Officer

Sally Pressman and David Clayton Rogers Expect Their First Child
The happy couple, Sally Pressman and David Clayton Rogers, are going to have a baby, a source close to the "Army Wives" actress told US Weekly on October 6. Though they haven't said anything yet to the press, the actress wrote down several status concerning with pregnancy on Twitter. Earlier this week, she said, "One more plug for @TracyAnderson launching her #pregnancyproject with @everymomcounts!!"
Later on, she tweeted, "@EDITION_01: Just left amazing event celebrating 'the pregnancy project' hosted by @CTurlington @GwynethPaltrow @TracyAnderson jealous!!" Later, she stated, "@EDITION_01: $5 of every @tracyanderson pregnancy DVD sale worldwide goes to #EveryMotherCounts @Cturlington."
The happy couple met at Lesley Kahn's Acting Studio and had been together for five years when Rogers proposed to Pressman on October 19, 2010. A year after, the 31-year-old actress tied the knot with the 34-year-old actor on September 17, 2011 at Bacara Resort and Spa, in Santa Barbara, Calif.
Currently, Pressman is not involved in any TV series other than "Army Wives", while the American film producer recently starred as Martine in the "Underbelly" pilot episode. In April, "Army Wives" was nominated for Best Drama at NAMIC Vision Awards. In June, the television drama won Top Television Series at ASCAP Awards.

This season, Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub has carved out a reputation as a player who throws touchdown passes—to the other team.
Schaub threw a touchdown that was returned for a score in four consecutive games before being injured against the St. Louis Rams in Week 6.
With Schaub out, backup T.J. Yates decided to pick up the slack, tossing a pick-six of his own against St. Louis and keeping the wrong-way touchdown streak alive.
Now it appears that the trend has spread league-wide as quarterbacks on other teams tried to do their best Schaub impressions on Sunday.
In the slate of early afternoon games alone, five different quarterbacks tossed touchdown passes to the wrong team.
While it remains to be seen if "Schaubing" becomes a lasting trend or only a flash-in-the-pan fad, it was certainly a popular form of expression in Week 7.
Even Tom Brady got in on the action, trying to out-Schaub Geno Smith during the Jets-Patriots matchup.
Let's take a look at all the Schaubing that took place on Sunday.
