JTL is a portable C++ JNI template library that allows you to embed a JVM within another program. An example of this might be found inside a browser that needs to support Java plug-ins. First I'll discuss the traditional way to embed a JVM within a native program, and then talk about the generic solution offered by JTL.
To apply the solution provided by JTL, you need to know the basics of Java, C++, and JNI. However, to understand JTL's design you should be familiar with modern C++ techniques, such as template programming and the Boost library (www.boost.org).
All the sample code in this article is written for Microsoft Windows, but it can easily be ported to other platforms.
The Traditional Way to Embed the JVM
Although there are lots of resources on how to embed a JVM, most of them are based on Sheng Liang's classic book, Java Native Interface: Programmer's Guide and Specification. Figure 1 shows the basic procedure.If the application has other threads that are using the JVM as well, the communications among these threads will look like Figure 2.
Listing 1 shows the typical code (all the error checking and exception handling code in this article has been omitted for clarity). This code works fine as long as your program is simple enough; however, there are three major drawbacks.
Issue 1: The JVM is a global variable, which is not acceptable in some cases.
Issue 2: The threads in which jvm and env are used and the thread that launches jvm couple tightly. For example, there will be a potential timing issue that's clearly shown in Figure 2. The AttachCurrentThread(...) must be called after the launcher thread initialized jvm, and DetachCurrentThread() must be called before jvm has been destroyed; otherwise this creates unnecessary communications overhead between threads. It gets worse when you don't know which thread is the launcher thread.
Of course the VM can always be created in one thread when the native application starts. However, this is a pure waste if there is no Java client. The JVM should not be created if there are no requests.
Issue 3. The function calls to Attach-CurrentThread(...) and Detach-Current Thread() should be paired so the JVM can get a chance to free the local references. However, it's too easy to not have the DetachCurrentThread() called by the programmer (because of multiple flow paths) or by exceptions. A better approach would be to encapsulate the JVM into a class or classes.
Thin JVM Wrapper
It's natural to wrap the JavaVM* pointer into a member variable, say jvm. Because only one JVM in each process can be created (until JDK 1.4.2), the obvious class design is to make jvm static. Listing 2 shows the first attempt.Here the method's signatures are not important so let's focus on the class design. The thin wrapper approach is simple and straightforward; however, it's not much better than the C-like code in Listing 1. It only gets rid of the explicit global variable jvm (the static member variable is still kind of global though). Issues 2 and 3, mentioned in the previous section, still need to be addressed.
Singleton JVM
The Singleton design pattern is described in Design Patterns by Erich Gamma, et al, as "Ensure a class only has one instance, and provide a global point of access of it." In other words, a Singleton class is a class for which no more than one instance can exist at runtime. This is what the JVM behaves like. We can apply the Singleton pattern to the JVM class design.Andrei Alexandrescu has provided all kinds of singleton implementations in his book Modern C++ Design and the Loki library. Loki has a singleton manager class template, SingletonHolder, that looks like Listing 3.
The template parameter T in Listing 3 is the target class, in our case CJavaVM. Other template parameters specify the policies that manage the singleton. As explained in Alexandrescu's book, "A policy defines a class interface or a class template interface. The interface consists of one or all of the following: inner type definitions, member functions, and member variables." Policy classes are not intended for stand-alone use and their member functions are often static. In Loki::-Single-tonHolder, the CreationPolicy determines how the singleton instance is created and destroyed, and the Threading-Model policy determines whether the singleton is living in a multiple threaded world.
Listing 4 provides the redesigned CJavaVM class and its usage with Loki::-SingletonHolder. A difference between CJavaVM and CJavaVM2 is that all members in CJavaVM2 are not static. Listing 4 looks fancier than Listing 1. However, it does not solve the real problems. Issues 2 and 3 are still unresolved. For example, if there are any other threads trying to make a JNI call, it's still a requirement that the JVM launcher thread has already called jvm.Start-JavaVM(). This is because CJavaVM2's constructor does nothing. If StartJava-VM() can be moved into CJavaVM2's constructor and Destroy-JavaVM() can be moved into CJavaVM2's destructor, then the timing issue will be solved, which is not easy to do.
The major difficulty is that Loki::-SingletonHolder's template parameter CreationPolicy only calls the target class T's default constructor. In other words, CJavaVM2's constructor cannot look something like this: CJavaVM2(std::-string- jvmpath, JavaVMInitArgs& args). It must be CJavaVM2(). Period.
We are not out of bullets though. The "Every problem can be solved by adding another layer of indirection" idiom applies here.
Policy-Based JVM Class
The solution is to make CJavaVM2 policy-based too. Listing 5 shows the new version.In CJavaVM3, a new policy class JavaVMLauncher is introduced and declared as follows:
class JavaVMLauncher { public: static void LaunchJavaVM(void** ppLib, JavaVM** ppJavaVM); static void DestroyJavaVM(void* pLib, JavaVM* pJavaVM); }
ppLib is a pointer to a handle returned by LoadLibrary on Windows or dlopen on Solaris. To make JavaVMLauncher more generic, the void pointer is used here. The pointer to pointer method is used for ppLib and ppJavaVM in LaunchJavaVM() because JavaVMLauncher does not contain any member variables. It's the caller to provide the placeholders for the objects pointed to by ppLib and ppJavaVM. DestroyJavaVM() simply accepts the cached JavaVM* and lib handle to destroy the JVM and free the library.
Now we can invoke the JVM as in Listing 6, which is pretty much what JTL does. In JTL, there is another class template called JavaVMMgr that is the placeholder for the JavaVM* and pLib. All the JVM calls will be delegated to the JavaVMMgr.
Exception Handling
The LaunchJavaVM() method in JavaVMLauncher can fail; for example, if the user does not have a JRE installed on his machine. When this happens, LaunchJavaVM() can return a flag or error code. In JTL, it will simply throw a jtl::load_javavm_error exception.Multithreading, Extending Loki, and boost::thread
Remember in Listing 3, Loki::Single-tonHolder has a template parameter ThreadingModel that's used to synchronize the calls to MakeInstance(). However, under different platforms the thread implementation and API are different. To make the JVM class design platform portable, it needs to use a portable threading framework. JTL uses boost::thread because it's simple and easy to use, and it will likely be part of the next version of the standard C++ library.Though Alexandrescu provides us with the excellent SingletonHolder class, JTL does not use it directly for two main reasons: not all compilers support Loki well and Loki::ThreadingModel is only implemented to work with Windows.jtl::SingletonHolder does some extension to Loki::SingletonHolder to achieve the platform-portable goal. However, jtl::SingletonHolder uses the same template parameters (and in the same order) as Loki::SingletonHolder, therefore the user can easily switch to Loki's version if someday Loki provides us with a platform-portable ThreadingModel.
Another thing needs to be mentioned for ThreadingModel - it should be able to work with both the single-thread model and multiple-thread model. If there's only one thread, there's no sense in doing the synchronization. To achieve this generic solution, JTL provides two class templates, Multiple-ThreadModel and SingleThread-Model, as shown in Listing 7.
These two classes simply provide type definitions. In Mul-tipleThread-Model, JTL uses the boost::mutex and boost::mutex::scoped_lock as the synchronization primi-tives, while in Single-ThreadModel it uses boostex::-faked_-mutex and boostex::faked_mutex::-scoped_-lock as the synchronization primitives. The faked mutex and scoped_lock are simple extensions to boost mutex and scoped_lock. They're empty classes and provide only the required inter-face methods, which are implemented as noop. This is a common trick in generic programming. (ATL programmers will recall the CComFake-CriticalSection used in CCom-Single-Thread-Model and CComMultiThread-Model that does the same trick.)
JNIEnv Smart Pointers
In Listing 6, we solved issues 1 and 2; we no longer have a global variable, and we don't have a timing issue when calling AttachCurrentThread() and Detach-CurrentThread(). However, issue 3 - how to ensure that DetachCurrent-Thread() is called - is still unresolved.When doing JNI programming, most of the time we're dealing with the JNIEnv* pointer rather than the JavaVM* pointer. The most important characteristic of the JNIEnv pointer is that it has thread affinity (it's only valid in its associated thread). It would be nice if we could get the JNIEnv pointer in an arbitrary context. To achieve this and solve issue 3, JTL provides three smart pointers: simple_env_ ptr, auto_env_ptr, and thread_env_ptr. They're all class templates.
Before talking about these smart pointers, let's review the scenarios in which the JNIEnv pointer is used:
- In the launcher thread: In this case the ThreadingModel template parameter should be SingleThread-Model to avoid unnecessary thread synchronization, even though there may be multiple threads.
- In multiple threads: AttachCurrent-Thread() and Detach-CurrentThread() will be called only once for each thread.
- In multiple threads: AttachCurrent-Thread() and Detach-CurrentThread() can be called multiple times for each thread (see below).
The simple_env_ptr is defined as the following:
template < ... > class simple_env_ptr : public env_ptr_base { public: //... typedefs for SingletonJVM; public: simple_env_ptr() { SingletonJVM::Instance().GetEnv(&env_, jvm_version); } ~simple_env_ptr() { env_ = 0;} };
In simple_env_ptr's constructor, the JNIEnv pointer has been initialized by calling GetEnv(). This works because the smart pointer is in the launcher thread. Similarly, auto_env_ptr is defined as the following:
template < ... > class auto_env_ptr : public env_ptr_base { public: //... typedefs for SingletonJVM; public: auto_env_ptr() { SingletonJVM::Instance().AttachCurrentThread(&env_, 0); } ~auto_env_ptr() { if(env_) { env_ = 0; SingletonJVM::Instance().DetachCurrentThread(); } } }; // auto_env_ptr
As you have seen, auto_env_ptr's constructor and destructor do the job of attaching and detaching the current thread. Thus we have solved issue 3 and we don't need to worry about the missing detaching call. However, auto_env_ ptr may not work if there is more than one auto_env_ptr instance in the same thread. This is clear in the following snippet:
// auto_env_ptr ptr1, ptr2 ptr1; // ...other stuff { ptr2; } // ... from here all calls on ptr1 may be invalid
In this snippet, when ptr2 is out of scope, its destructor will be called, causing the current thread to detach from the JVM. This may cause problems because ptr1 is still active; however, all its local references may have been freed by the JVM because of the ptr2's detaching call.
To solve this problem, JTL provides thread_env_ptr, which is defined in Listing 8. thread_env_ptr has a counter that's a thread local storage variable. Whenever there is a new thread_env _ptr instance, the counter will be bumped by one. Whenever there is a thread_env_ptr out of scope, the counter will be decreased by one. When the counter is decreased to zero, the current thread will be detached from the JVM.
Putting It All Together
Listing 9 illustrates how to use the JTL JVM invocation. You may provide your own JVMLauncher if the default one does not meet your requirement.Conclusion
JTL provides complete support for the JVM invocation. It also provides JNIEnv smart pointers to get the JNIEnv* pointer in arbitrary context. Most of the classes in JTL are designed as class templates and they can easily be extended. JTL provides many template parameter implementations as well, which can be used as the default template parameter value under most circumstances.All comments about JTL and this article are highly appreciated.

Conserving Energy When You Have COPD or Other Chronic Conditions - Topic Overview
What does it mean to conserve energy?
Cooking dinner, putting away laundry, or even just walking across your living room can be exhausting when you have COPD, heart failure, or another long-term (chronic) condition. You may feel at times as though you've lost your ability to live your life.
Conserving, or saving, your energy means finding ways of doing daily activities with as little effort as possible. With some planning and tips, you can get tasks done more easily and enjoy your daily routine.
The GOLD classifications are the main method doctors use to describe the severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). GOLD is short for the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease, a collaboration between the National Institutes of Health and the World Health Organization.
Read the GOLD Criteria for COPD article > >
How can you conserve energy in daily activities?
Plan activities
- Make a list of what you have to do every day. Group the tasks by location, so you do all the chores you have in one part of your house around the same time.
- Go out for errands or do chores at the time of day when you have the most energy.
- Leave plenty of time to do tasks or get to events. That way you aren't rushed and breathless to get somewhere.
- Include rest periods in your day.
- Ask for help from family or friends for chores that are too tiring to do by yourself.
Getting around and doing activities
- Move slowly when you walk or do an activity such as housework.
- Sit down (on a high stool) as often as you can when you get dressed, do chores, or cook.
- Use a raised toilet seat.
- Use a cart with wheels to roll items, such as laundry, from one room to another.
- Push or slide boxes or other large items instead of lifting them.
- Limit the trips you take up stairs. If you can afford it, think about getting an electric lift to take you up the stairs. Or use a downstairs room for your bedroom so you won't have to take the stairs as much.
Reaching and grabbing items
- Put things you use the most on shelves that are at the level of your waist or shoulder. Bending down and reaching up can make you tired quickly if you have trouble breathing.
- Use long-handled grabbers or other tools to reach items on a high shelf or to pick up things off the floor.
- Use long-handled dusters when you clean the house.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Six stories, 500 years, A-list cast and... a mostly terrible movie
Maybe if you're 20 years old and high in your dorm room with your friends, the platitudes presented in Cloud Atlas might seem profound.
Anyone else in his or her right mind should recognize it for what it is: a bloated, pseudo-intellectual, self-indulgent slog through some notions that are really rather facile.
Ooh, we're all interconnected and our souls keep meeting up with each other over the centuries, regardless of race, gender or geography. We're individual drops of water but we're all part of the same ocean. That is deep, man.
Perhaps it all worked better on the page. Cloud Atlas comes from the bestselling novel of the same name by David Mitchell which, in theory, might have seemed unfilmable, encompassing six stories over a span of 500 years and including some primitive dialogue in a far-away future. Sibling directors Lana and Andy Wachowski -- who actually have come up with some original, provocative ideas of their own in the Matrix movies (well, at least the first one) -- working with Run Lola Run director Tom Tykwer, have chopped up the various narratives and intercut between them out of order. The A-list actors who comprise the cast play multiple parts across the various stories and in elaborate makeup that's often laughable.
Tom Hanks is a scheming doctor on a voyage across the South Pacific in 1849, a trash-talking novelist in present-day London and a peaceful goatherd who's part of a post-apocalyptic tribe in the 2300s. Halle Berry is a composer's white trophy wife in 1936 Scotland, an investigative reporter in 1973 San Francisco and a member of an elite society of prescients in the farthest future. Hugh Grant is often the least recognizable of all beneath layers of prosthetics and goop: at one point, he's a vengeful old man; at another, he's the raging leader of a band of cannibals.
One easy rule of thumb: If you see Hugo Weaving, you know he's a bad guy -- except for the story line in which he plays a woman, that is: an oppressive Nurse Ratched figure in a psychiatric hospital.
Maybe the concept of transformation and of connectedness despite the physical vessels we occupy felt especially resonant for the transgender Lana Wachowski, formerly Larry Wachowski. But rather than serving as a satisfying, cohesive device, the multiple-parts strategy feels like a distracting gimmick. Instead of seamlessly melding with the film's philosophy of continuity, it keeps you constantly wondering: "Who is that actor made up to look Asian? Who is that beneath the henna tattoos and macrame? Is that... Susan Sarandon?" It takes you out of the heart of the stories and holds you at arm's length.
Cloud Atlas is ambitious in its scope, for sure -- edited fluidly and often wondrous to look at, but totally ineffective from an emotional perspective. As you're watching it you may ponder, as I did, whether any of these six stories across disparate genres would be more compelling as its own, stand-alone film. Possibly the one set in pre-Second World War England, starring Ben Whishaw as an up-and-coming composer who flees London when he's exposed as a homosexual and goes to work for an aging musical master (Jim Broadbent), all the while writing letters to his lover (James D'Arcy) full of humour and longing. (This is one of the Tykwer segments, by the way. He also directed the tales set in 1973 and 2012, while the Wachowskis took on 1849, 2144 and the 24th century.)
The most ridiculous is the one that takes place "After the Fall" in Hawaii in the mid-2300s. It requires Hanks and Berry to yammer at each other in a disjointed, stripped-down version of English that's as indecipherable as it is laughable. Even more unintentionally hilarious is the sight of Weaving hopping around in green makeup like some subversive leprechaun, whispering naughty things in Hanks' ear.
On the other end of the spectrum, the most engaging tale of all is set in the gleaming, futuristic city of Neo Seoul, a place of detailed, totalitarian precision built atop the remnants of a flood. Sonmi-451 (Doona Bae) is one of countless fabricated restaurant workers locked in a daily routine of servitude and sleep. But she longs to think for herself and dares to escape with the help of a young revolutionary played by Jim Sturgess. Sure, it's hugely derivative with its garish, dystopian esthetic and themes of machines turning on the people who invented them, but it's also the only one that comes close to capturing any real sense of humanity.

Here's Jennifer Garner and Samuel leaving a baby gym in Brentwood. Jennifer was all smiles as they left. Samuel must've gotten a good workout in, burning up some of that toddler energy. Every mother likes that ;).
Takes On New Role With Save The Children
Celebrity mom Jennifer Garner continues to inspire us. This mother of three is giving her kids yet another reason why they can look up to their mom! The actress has been working with Save the Children for many years and is now a board of trustees member!
Joins The #BanBossy Campaign
Have you heard about the #BanBossy campaign? It's a campaign that encourages leadership skills in girls. The idea is that while boys are encouraged to be assertive, girls are criticized for it by being called "bossy." The result is that by the time girls enter middle school, they're much less likely to be interested in leadership.
Beyonce is one of the celebs who's in the video below. Jennifer Garner and 'Glee' star Jane Lynch are in it too. Yet this isn't limited to Hollywood. Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg is in the video, along with former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, and a lot of other powerful women, too. Are you ready to join the #BanBossy campaign?
Jen & Ben Have A Playdate At The Park
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner enjoyed some family time with their kids. They took them to a Pacific Palisades park. Well, Jen and Ben took their oldest, Violet, and their youngest, Samuel, to the park. I don't see any pictures of Seraphina. Perhaps she was just better at evading the cameras. Then again, at this time of year, everyone's fighting off the cold and flu.
It looks like Violet had just finished shooting some hoops. She's been exposed to a lot of sports! I remember when she played soccer. Then she took ballet. After that it was karate. She's a well-rounded kid!

Get your 3GB of free cloud-storage from Memopal (news, site) to store your files and test out the service to see if their larger offerings will tempt you to upgrade.
Another Place to Keep Your Data
There are plenty of services to store data online, but do you really want to leave your data in some nebulous storage "place"? If you have plumped for cloud storage, in most cases, companies or individual users will pick one service and stick with it, unless price changes force them to look else where. So, how do you tempt users to give your service a go? Giving it away for free seems a reasonable start.
Okay, so 3GB isn't exactly going to solve a company's storage woes, but it can still prove a useful resource for keeping those vital files tucked securely away.
As an alternative to sending files by email or FTP, it also has a lot of advantages and there is no silly demand for your credit card details.
Dip your toe in the waters of cloud storage for free
Cloud Boosting
Storage is managed by a small downloaded application and it works on PCs, Macs, Linux and iPhone. The program offers a quick backup feature to help archive your My Documents or a specified folder.
Then you can access and recover, update or change what you keep in your storage space with ease. You can share files with a click, an email will be sent to the people you want to share with and they can access the file(s) for free.
When you've uploaded some files, you can navigate and search them via a browser. Documents have suitable .xls or .doc thumbnails while you can see image previews in their thumbnails.
Obviously, Memopal would really like you to subscribe and has updated its offers to tempt users to part with some cash. These are US$49 for 200Gb of personal storage while business users get discounts for multi-year contracts.

West Allis — Police arrested five drunken drivers on Monday as part of a countywide initiative to beef up enforcement during the Milwaukee Brewers' season opener.
Extra squads were on the road in West Allis and throughout Milwaukee County from 3 p.m. to 3 a.m. thanks to grant money from the state Department of Transportation to pay for officers' overtime.
Extreme speed
Among those arrested was a 28-year-old man who was clocked at 86 miles per hour in a 30-mph speed zone near 52nd Street and Lincoln Avenue.
The driver ran three stop signs before police caught up with him at 57th Street. He pulled over on the grass when officers flashed their emergency lights.
The officer who made the arrest wrote in his report the man went by him so fast his squad car shook, police Capt. Chuck Unger said.
Standing-still arrests
West Allis police made their first drunken-driving arrest at 2:30 p.m. Officers found a 27-year-old man passed out behind the wheel of a car parked on the wrong side of the road near 81st and Rogers streets.
The last arrest came at 2:25 a.m. near 77th Street and Lincoln Avenue. Police following up on a tip found a vehicle with its entire front end and windshield destroyed.
Three people were inside the car. After investigating, police arrested a 22-year-old man for drunken driving.
It was not immediately clear how the car suffered the damage, Unger said.

The Stone GodsThis new world weighs a yatto-gram. But everything is trial-size; tread-on-me-tiny or blurred-out-offocus huge. There are leaves that have grown as big as cities, and there are birds that nest in cockleshells. On the white sand there are long-toed claw prints deep as nightmares, and there are rock pools in hand-hollows finned by invisible fish . . . Mankind has rendered its planet unlivable and is beginning to colonize a new blue planet. Our heroine Billie Crusoe's flight to the future is also a return to the distant past--Everything is imprinted forever with what once was. What begins as a witty, satirical futurist adventure deepens into a dazzling exploration of our relationship to environment, to power and technology, and to what defines us as humans. For over twenty years Jeanette Winterson has consistently been one of our most brilliant writers. Lyrical, visionary, by turns funny and devastating, The Stone Gods is fiction at its most provocative. |

Loebsack Statement on the President's Speech on the Situation in Syria |
News Releases - General Info | |||
Written by Joe Hand | |||
Tuesday, 03 September 2013 12:33 | |||
Washington, D.C. Congressman Dave Loebsack released the following statement today following the President's speech on the situation in Syria. As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, Loebsack has received a briefing from the White House regarding the ongoing situation. "I have called on the President to seek congressional authorization but more importantly, before any action is taken, the administration must make the case to the American people and the American people must support it. As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, I was briefed by the White House and believe the Administration must lay out their strategic reasoning behind military action, define the national security reasoning for such action, and establish an end goal for potential use of force. "The use of chemical weapons against civilians is morally reprehensible and should be unequivocally condemned by the international community. However, after more than a decade of war during which time our troops and military families have made great sacrifices on our behalf, we must exercise extreme caution in undertaking military action." ###Trackback(0)
