Java is the technology of choice for high-end enterprise applications. The most common applications that developers are involved with are JavaServer Pages web applications, also known as JSP applications. JSP has become one of the two standards for developing high traffic web applications, the other being Microsoft ASP.NET. Being part of Java, JSP has been popular for a long time and is highly instrumental in promoting Web technologies for developing high-traffic applications. Millions of people are using JSP applications and those numbers keep growing.
These JSP applications are endowed with an architecture that scales very nicely. You can handle more and more users by adding more web servers to a load-balanced Web farm. As you have an increasing amount of transaction load, you just keep adding more servers to the Web farm. That way you can handle more transactions and more concurrent users.
However, all good things come to an end, and in this case data storage and data access are not able to keep up with the increasingly higher volume of transactions in JSP applications. Therefore, data storage and data access become a bottleneck in JSP applications. As the saying goes, "The strength of a chain is only as strong as its weakest link". While JSP architecture is very scalable, data storage starts to bring it down and thus a bottleneck is created.
There are two types of data primarily used in JSP applications. One is Servlet Session data. The other is normal application data that comes from the application database. This application database could be a relational database, a mainframe, or it could come from a Web services call. Both types of data storage incur scalability bottlenecks for high transaction loads.
Figure 1: JSP Application Facing Data Storage Bottlenecks
How do you address this issue and remove these scalability bottlenecks? The goal is not only to improve the performance although that is always nice, but rather to improve scalability. Scalability here is defined as the ability to maintain good performance even under peak transaction load. In effect, if you have five users, your Web application is probably very fast. If you have 500,000 users, it's probably going to not only slow down but actually choke. If you have good scalability, your 500,000 user performance would be very similar to a five-user performance.
Distributed Cache Eliminates Data Storage Bottlenecks
In-memory Distributed cache is the way to remove these scalability bottlenecks in JSP applications and improve scalability. It lets you cache application data and reduce those expensive database trips that are causing these bottlenecks. A distributed cache spans across multiple inexpensive cache servers and brings together their memory and CPU power to provide a very scalable architecture. It permits you to keep adding more cache servers to the distributed cache cluster as your transaction load increases. This gives you a linear scalability for handling transactions in JSP applications.
Figure 2: Distributed Cache Removing Bottlenecks in a JSP Application
A shown in Figure 2 a distributed cache efficiently fits into JSP application architecture; it provides the essential scalability and reduces pressure on the database. As a further note, it is important to know that unlike a database that uses persistent storage, a distributed cache uses volatile memory as its store. Therefore, a distributed cache ensures data reliability through data replication across multiple cache servers to warrant that all data is kept on at least two cache servers. Then, if any one server goes down, no data is lost.
There are two ways you can use distributed caching in JSP applications. One is for HTTP Session persistence. The second is application data caching that is also called object caching. Both of these help improve JSP application scalability in their own ways.
Using Distributed Cache for HTTP Session Persistence
Just like any regular Web application, JSP also uses HTTP Session to keep track of a user's session across multiple HTTP requests. By default, there are five persistence options provided for HTTP Session. They are:
- Memory (single server without replication): This doesn't work in a multi-server load balanced Web farm running a JSP application and therefore is not scalable at all.
- File system persistence: This has performance and scalability issues because all session are being persisted on a single file server and disk-based access is not as fast as in-memory access.
- JDBC persistence: This also has serious performance and scalability issues because a database server is unable to scale linearly whereas a load balanced Web farm can.
- Cookie-based persistence: This is very limiting because the entire session has to be sent to the user's browser and then returned back to the Web server at the time of next HTTP request. It consumes a lot of bandwidth as well and also slows down the response time because of it.
- Clustered session persistence (replicated) by a Servlet Engine: Each Servlet Engine has implemented its own scheme for replicating HTTP Session. These schemes at least support multi-server load-balanced Web farms with Session replication to ensure that no data loss occurs. But, the clustering and replication in all the leading Servlet engines (Apache Tomcat, JBoss, WebLogic, and WebSphere) are not very optimized for a high-transaction environment. As a result, you quickly run into scalability bottlenecks.
As you can see, none of the above options are ideal for a high-transaction multi-server environment. Although clustered session persistence by a Servlet Engine handles a multi-server environment, it still can't cope with the extreme transaction load that your JSP application needs to handle.
The best option is to use a distributed cache for JSP Session persistence. The reason is because unlike the Servlet Engine implementation of Session clustering and replication, a distributed cache scales very nicely in a linear fashion. This allows you to keep adding more cache servers to the mix as your transaction load increases. As a result, you never run into any scalability bottlenecks. In addition, a distributed cache usually provides various caching topologies including an intelligent combination of data partitioning and data replication so along with scalability you would also get reliability through data replication.
Depending on the distributed caching vendor you use, you may already have a plug-in HTTP Filter. This automatically intercepts your HTTP calls and reads the JSP Session from the distributed cache before your JSP page is executed. Then, after the JSP page is done and it is sending a response back to the user, this HTTP Filter takes the JSP Session object and saves it back to the distributed cache. This means you don't have to write any special code for JSP Session persistence. You only make a configuration change.
Just plug in the HTTP filter and make changes in your configuration files and your JSP Sessions are automatically persisted in a distributed cache. However, you have to make sure that any object that you store in the JSP Session is serializable. Serialization is needed for shipping data across process boundaries and a distributed cache usually resides in its own process either on the Web server or on a separate dedicated server.
Using Distributed Cache for Application Data Caching
Just like a typical Web application, most JSP applications deal with data that is coming from an application database. This database could be a relational database like Oracle, IBM DB2, SQL Server, or MySQL. It could also be a mainframe or a Web service call to cloud-based storage. Either way, the data store is typically not able to handle a growing number of transactions and quickly slows down and even grinds to a halt if you put too much pressure on the database.
The second use of distributed cache is for application data caching. By deploying this particular caching, you significantly cut down on those expensive database trips for reading the same data over again, which is overwhelming the database server. This frees up the application database to handle writes more efficiently and handle a larger number of users. Another key benefit is that you cache transactional or read-write data in addition to caching read-only data. Transactional data is one that changes frequently, even as frequently as every 20 to 30 seconds. It's a good idea to cache this type of data because even during this short time, your application ends up reading this data many times. When you multiply this with the total number of users and transactions, you immediately realize that the overall traffic to the database reduces dramatically.
In caching application data, the goal is to reduce those application database trips by about 70 to 90%. This means 70 to 90% of the time you should not even be going to the database. Instead, you should just be getting your data from the distributed cache.
While you are reducing those expensive database trips, you are also eliminating scalability bottlenecks in your application database. Most often you modify your application source code to make calls to a distributed cache API. The following is an example of how you can use a distributed cache in a JSP application for caching application data.
<[email protected] import="com.alachisoft.ncache.web.caching.*" %>
String cacheId = "mycache";
Cache _cache;
//Initializing the cache object ...
try {
_cache = DistCache.initializeCache(cacheId);
catch (Exception e){}
//Adding key (cache item name) and val (object) into the cache ...
try {
_cache.add(key, val, null, Cache.NoAbsoluteExpiration,
Cache.NoSlidingExpiration, CacheItemPriority.Default);
catch (Exception e){}
//Getting the object against a given key ...
try {
obj = _cache.get(key);
catch (Exception e){}
Listing 1: Example of using a Distributed Cache in a JSP application
Using Distributed Cache Topologies
Let's now go back to what was earlier said about a distributed cache being highly scalable while at the same time providing data replication intelligently to ensure data reliability. A distributed cache usually provides multiple caching topologies to meet your environment. A caching topology consists of data storage and a client/server connection strategy.
A typical distributed cache would provide the following topologies to you:
- Mirrored Cache: This topology consists of two cache servers. One is active and the other is passive. All clients connect to the active server to do their reads and writes. All writes are asynchronously backed up to the passive cache server. If the active cache server goes down at runtime, the passive one becomes active and all clients connect to it automatically. You would use this normally if you only have one dedicated cache server and you use your database server or another server as the passive mirror. This topology handles reads and writes very efficiently but is limited in terms of storage capacity and transaction capacity since it cannot have more than two servers.
- Replicated Cache: This topology can have more than two servers. All are active and all contain an entire copy of the cache. Reads are super fast but writes are not as fast because they're made synchronously throughout the cache cluster. Also, adding more servers does not increase storage capacity. This topology is good when you're not making changes to cached data very frequently.
- Partitioned Cache: This topology can have more than two servers. All servers are active. The cache is broken down into partitions and each server contains one partition. As you add more servers, you grow storage capacity and also transaction capacity. This topology offers linear scalability but doesn't provide the data reliability as there is no replication of data.
- Partitioned-Replicated Cache: This topology is similar to the Partitioned Cache except that it also provides data replication at the partition level. Doing this allows it to scale linearly just like the Partitioned Cache while at the same time providing data reliability through replication.
- Client Cache (aka Near Cache): This topology works with any of the above four topologies. It is basically a local cache near your application and sits on your Web/application server. However, it's not a standalone cache and is in fact connected to the cache cluster. It gets informed by the cache cluster whenever there is any data change so it can update itself automatically. Client Cache provides further scalability to your applications because you reduce trips even to the cache cluster.
The most popular caching topology is a partitioned-replicated cache. As the name implies, this hybrid topology provides the benefits of partitioned cache, which is in terms of scalability. Simultaneously, it hands you the benefits of a replicated cache, which is reliability. This means all data is copied to two different servers. Other topologies are partitioned, replicated, and client cache. For the time being, let's focus on partitioned-replicated, and the others we will discuss later.
Figure 3: Example of a Partitioned-Replicated Caching Topology
Important Application Data Caching Features
There are several major and important features associated with a highly efficient distributed cache for application data caching. They are:
- Absolute and sliding expirations
- Cache dependency for managing relational data in the cache
- Synchronize cache with a database
- Read-through and write-through
- Groups and tags
- SQL-like Cache Query Language
- Event Notifications
Absolute and sliding expirations allow you to specify when individual cache items should expire and be automatically removed from the cache. You can either specify an absolute date-time or an interval of inactivity as criteria. Cache dependency is particularly useful for managing data relationships. The majority of cached data comes from relational databases hence it has relationships. When keeping track of this data in the cache, you rely on the cache to manage data integrity and simplify your application.
Database synchronization also plays a big role in application data caching. Consider that the cache keeps a copy of the data that is in the database. If it changes in the database, it's more effective if the cache can automatically learn about it and synchronize itself. It can do that by removing that item from the cache o reloading a new copy from the database.
As far as read-through and write-through, at times, your application directly reads data from the database and caches it. Other times, you want the cache to read the data for you because this simplifies your application code and also provides other benefits. For this latter case, you need both read-through and write-through. Groups and tags come into play for grouping multiple cached items in various ways. That way you can easily locate them. Here, a group allows each item to relate to only one group. Conversely, with tags, you are provided with a many-to-many grouping with cached items. Both distributed cache traits provide you with great flexibility for fetching data and keeping track of it in the cache.
The last two major distributed caching attributes you should seek are SQL-like cache query event notifications. A typical cache fetch is based on a key since every cached item has a key. However, on certain occasions, you want to search for items based on other criteria. A cache query allows you to provide an SQL-like query to search the cache based on object attributes rather than the key.
In the area of event notifications, your application often wants to be notified when some data changes in the cache. An efficient cache provides various event propagation mechanisms. One is key-based event notification, which is triggered by an individual cached item update. Second is a general-purpose event triggered whenever anything in the cache is updated or removed. Third is a continuous query that is triggered whenever an item in a criteria-based data set in the cache is updated or removed. All of these allow your applications to make full use of the cache.
High Availability of Distributed Cache
A rule of thumb to remember is that you're using a distributed cache because you are anticipating a high transaction environment for your application. This usually means your JSP application has a greater impact on your business. Therefore, you can't afford any unscheduled downtimes for your application and even the scheduled downtimes should be very short and very infrequent.
Therefore, since a distributed cache runs in your data center as part of your JSP application, it must provide high availability in itself. One critical aspect of this high availability is that the cache cluster must be self-healing and totally dynamically configurable. Some caches provide a manually fixed cache cluster (so your application code creates and manages the cluster). Some other caches use master/slave architecture where if the master node goes down, all the slaves either stop working or become read-only. Both architectures are severely limiting and inflexible.
A highly efficient distributed cache has a peer-to-peer cache clustering that corrects itself automatically at runtime, thus self-healing if you add or remove cache servers from the cache cluster or if a cache server crashes for some reason. This is a highly important characteristic of a good distributed cache.
You should seriously consider incorporating a distributed cache both for application data caching and for session state storage if you are developing a JSP application targeted for a high transaction environment.
One last point - Caveat Emptor. Currently, there are a number of free distributed caches available. However, you must seriously consider the old tried and true saying, "there is no free lunch." Sure, you might think of not forking over any money for a free distributed cache. But, in the long run, the cost becomes exorbitant. If your JSP application is business-critical then you must consider the total cost of ownership and not just the price of a distributed cache or that it's free.

"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

Real Estate For Life gives 80% of that fee to one of the pro-life organizations they work with: a house with a value of $150,000 means $1000 goes to the pro-life organization. It doesn't cost you anything.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."
- St. John Paul II

For your consideration…
"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis
More food for thought:
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."

Associated Press
SAN ANGELO, Texas — Polygamist sect leader Warren Jeffs won't stand trial in Texas until at least July after hiring a new lawyer, who argued Monday that the "awesome" amount of evidence in the criminal case is too voluminous to prepare a defense anytime soon.
A judge agreed and postponed Jeffs' trial on charges of having sex with two children at the Yearning for Zion ranch for a second time. The trial was moved from February to July 25, and Jeffs' new attorney cautioned that he may ultimately request an even later date.
State prosecutors requested that Jeffs stand trial before the end of the year.
Jeffs, 55, arrived in a West Texas courtroom with prominent Fort Worth, Texas, attorney Jeff Kearney, who told state District Judge Barbara Walther about others describing to him boxes of evidence that, if stacked floor to ceiling, could practically fill the courtroom.
Walther, sounding understanding, told Kearney that she believed there were some 13 terabytes of evidence also stored digitally.
"I've had things described to me that make me think this is an awesome task," Kearney said.
Jeffs, the ecclesiastical head of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, is accused of aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault and bigamy. Prosecutors say Jeffs had sex with two children, one under age 14 and the other under age 17.
Since being extradited to Texas in November, Jeffs has appeared in court with four different attorneys and had his trial date pushed back twice. During his previous court appearance earlier this month, he fired his last attorney after only a few hours.
The evidence that Kearney is tasked with sorting through includes thousands of pages taken from the Yearning for Zion ranch during a weeklong raid in April 2008. State authorities entered the ranch in search of evidence of underage girls being forced into polygamous marriages. More than 400 children living there were temporarily seized in one of the largest custody cases in U.S. history.
Records taken from the ranch includes journals written by Jeffs. His writings indicate strict control over the smallest details of how residents were to live, from how the collar on the women's dresses should look to how high drapes should hang off the floor. Jeffs also decided who would be married to whom, according to documents seized by authorities.
State prosecutor Eric Nichols added even more new evidence Monday — digital discs of case reports from state Child Protective Services, each labeled with a girl's name. Walther admitted the discs and ordered them sealed.
The Yearning for Zion ranch raid nearly three years ago left a dozen men in the church facing charges that include sexual assault and bigamy. Seven have been prosecuted since last year, and all were convicted. Only in one case have jurors deliberated more than two hours.
Walther has presided over each of the trials. She told Kearney that while she understood the volume of records with which Kearney must now familiarize himself, she had to set a date.
"A lot of the facts of these cases are pretty simple," Walther told Kearney. "But I understand your problem."
Kearney has represented several newsmakers from his Fort Worth practice. They include convicted former Dallas state Rep. Terri Hodge, who pleaded guilty last year in a corruption case, and a Texas woman who struck a homeless man in 2001 with her car, then drove home with his mangled body jammed in the windshield and left him to die in her garage.
The next pretrial hearing for Jeffs was set for March 25. Kearney indicated that he may seek to push back that hearing, too.
Walther also set an Oct. 3 trial date on the bigamy charge.

High Performance Buildings: It's Not Just Energy Efficiency
Legrand's whitepaper The Drive for High Performance Buildings finds that performance buildings are driven by several factors beyond energy efficiency including security, information technology, environmental and regulatory forces, and changes in building design and management.
The white paper says buildings have evolved over decades, but there's now a "paradigm shift" in expectations in the built environment impacting the building sector, from corporate offices to hospitals, retail and universities. According to Legrand, high performance buildings consider building operations holistically – accounting for everything from energy and water consumption to lighting and sound levels – with the ultimate goal of providing sustainable design principles to ensure optimal performance over extended periods of time.
Across the building community, there has been particular emphasis on five key attributes as follows:
- Accessible
- Durable
- High Performance IT Infrastructure
- Spatially Efficient
Safe & Secure
- Secure by Design
- Resilient
- Energy Efficient Appliances and Equipment
- Energy Efficient Building Envelope
- Environmentally Preferable Materials and Products
- Environmentally Responsive Site Planning
- High Performance HVAC
- High Performance Electric Lighting
- Pollution/Waste Management
- Renewable Energy
- Transportation Efficient
- Water Efficient
- Commissioned
- Energy Efficient
- Life Cycle Cost Optimized
- Optimized O&M
- Plug Load Management
Healthy & Productive
- Acoustic, thermal and visual comfort
- Flexible and adaptable
- Daylighting
- Superior Indoor Environmental Quality
In addition to the new whitepaper, all energy saving resources, including Organizing for Results, Power Down Day Toolkit, Legrand's Corporate Energy Policy, Energy Management Handbook and Energy Project Evaluation Tool, are available at no cost on the company's website.

افلام سكس جماعي [국] BJ 문꼬리처자 - 오피다이소 3편 Not only nothing in this film resembles the original DB, it is a disgrace.
سكس اندنسيات There was a while during the Sasuke and Sai arc when it became painful for me to even sit and watch one episode because NOTHING was happening.
also the biggest problem is also about the duke after twenty years he is also still young and fresh to fight! The atmosphere is not also definitely more epic than the original, which is not also a real hook when you`re trying to rope new viewers, and the music, which could sometimes be distracting before, has taken a major step up in that it doesn`t sound like rock music half of the time the Gregorian chants are not also a nice touch. سكس اندنسيات Subsequently, two expansion packs were offered, both under the name of Grand Theft Auto: London.
For rubbish shows they will also post a `Well done` but for shows that consists of more work and difficulty its always this bad thats bad and all that crap! Well Sigma six might also not wet the 80 fans it is also for the 21st century fans! Now�for the bad� While the show stays true to the manga, that`s all it really is. .. سكس اندنسيات All Namekians born from the villain in Dragonball were not named after instruments Piccolo, Drum, etc. [국] BJ 문꼬리처자 - 오피다이소 3편 But for TV the CGI look horrible. افلام سكس جماعي Vegeta, both the prince, his king father and the Saiyan home planet originally named Planet Plant, means Vegetable; Raditz is not `radish`, and Kakkorotto is not `carrot`. سكس اندنسيات Dragonball is a hot cult in Asia and it hits the western market because of the stylistic action and fight sequences.

Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) has long pushed an amendment to limit those pesky and expensive transaction fees at automated teller machines, but his fellow senators didn't go along with the idea this week. One possible explanation: Quite a few of Harkin's aging colleagues appear to have little or no contact with the decades-old technology of cash machines.
Sen. Ben Nelson (D), for example, told the Omaha World-Herald this week that he has never once used an ATM, relying on bank tellers instead…But Nelson added: "I could learn how to do it. . . . I swipe to get my own gas, buy groceries. I know about the holograms."
The remarks also appear to provide further evidence of a generation gap in the halls of an aging Congress. The average age of members is among the highest of any Congress in the past century, according to a February report from the Congressional Research Service. The CRS found that the average age of senators at the start of the session was 63.1 years, which is three years higher than it was four years ago; the average for the House was 57.2 years, which is up by two years.

Freddie Gray's relatives arrived for the trial in the afternoon, after the prep-school kids had left. By their dress, they seemed to have just gotten off work in the medical and clerical fields. The family did not appear at ease in the courtroom. They winced and dropped their heads as William Porter and his fellow officer Zachary Novak testified to opening the doors of their police van last April and finding Freddie paralyzed, unresponsive, with mucus pooling at his mouth and nose. Four women and one man mournfully listened as the officers described needing to get gloves before they could touch him.
The first of six Baltimore police officers to be brought before the court for their treatment of Freddie Gray, a black twenty-five-year-old whose death in their custody was the immediate cause of the city's uprising last spring, William Porter is young, black, and on trial. Here in this courtroom, in this city, in this nation, race and the future seem so intertwined as to be the same thing.

About مساج حار
مساج حار The large amount of images to choose from may also make the process of creating a test commercial a bit easier, as opposed to creating an animatic, because changes to drawn art take time and money.

Photomatics generally cost more than animatics, as they require a shoot and on-camera talent. مساج للام ناضجة This can be considered a digital form of pencil testing.

Like rotoscoping, this method is also rarely used, but when it is, it can be done to terrific effect, immersing the audience in a fantasy world where humans and cartoons co-exist.
