]]> Comment on A simple example of Tomcat Realms and Security by Avaya http://www.opensourceconnections.com/2007/03/05/a-simple-example-of-tomcat-realms-and-security/#comment-14065 Avaya Wed, 01 Jul 2009 06:14:46 +0000 http://www.opensourceconnections.com/2007/03/05/a-simple-example-of-tomcat-realms-and-security/#comment-14065 Hi, I am facing some problem with basic authentication in tomcat 5.5. I used some tutorial to configure it. It is working fine for me. But I have below issues. 1. Once authenticated I want to pass some information back to user session. As session and request is not available I am trying with custom principal. But so far no luck. Can some one provide me some steps how to do this. 2. In my case the authentication server is a legacy system which on scussesfull login returns a connectionid and maintain a session at its end for further communication my application need to pass this information. If I am using load balancing it is not working. As when it switch to other server it tries to log in again. How to resolve this issue? Hi,

No repurposing capabilities such as SparQL endpoints exist. Furthermore, if you're like me and keep something north of 1.6 billion tabs open at a given time, the FBO site makes you check for a web crawler and then sends you to whatever the last opened page was, regardless of what you actually were trying to open. If you want another option, try INPUT or visit your PTAC. @Ryan: It’s quite the opposite, IMO. No repurposing capabilities such as SparQL endpoints exist.

We have small 1 developer shops using the Community Edition of it, and you not only get CI, you get Bugs, Forums, and a Wiki all in the same package. Good luck with MonkeyCI :-) I love it!

In an OLAP database you "slice and dice" along selected dimensions. Time series work then becomes really easy. There are things that RDBMS db's are good at and OLAP db's are good at. Time series happens to be what they are astoundingly good at. For your problem you might want to consider a very limited OLAP database to supplement your RDBMS. Use the relational side to contain all your primary data and then use a few minimual dimensions in your OLAP db to quickly get time series results. The output of the OLAP can be keys from the RDBMS that are used to drive the SQL query. Anyway, just a thought. Isn’t what you describe exactly what OLAP databases are for?
