JBoss Remote Debug and Port Configuration


Is quite common you need debug JBoss remotely, basically you may have an Linux server running it for Development or QA environment.

In order to be able to debug JBoss in your machine you just need change one configuration file.

Open the file $JBOSS_HOME\bin\run.conf in your favorite text editor an serach for this lines:

# Sample JPDA settings for remote socket debugging
# JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8787,server=y,suspend=n"

You new uncoment the last line, like the following sample:

# Sample JPDA settings for remote socket debugging<br>JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8787,server=y,suspend=n"<br>

The parameter address is the port that JBoss will be listing to remote debug. Now you can open eclipse an run and remote debug like the following sample:

1. Create a new Remote Java Application Debug configuration.
2. Select your project, remember that must be an EAR or WAR(You can use jar but in this case must be on EJB or JMX).
3. Set up the ip and port adress

And this is it you are ready to debug your JBoss remotely.

Creating a New Profile or Change Port Configuration

Sometimes is very useful create new profiles for your application. JBoss let you do that very easly use can copy and paste any of the standard profiles like: default, web or all and you just need chnage the port.

Open the following file in your favorite text editor:
$JBOSS_HOME\server\\conf\bindingservice.beans\META-INF\bindings-jboss-beans.xml

: This is your profile folder could be: default, all ,ejb or other that you created in the previous step.

Look for this;


<constructor><br>     <!-- The name of the set of bindings to use for this server --><br>      <parameter>${jboss.service.binding.set:ports-default}</parameter><br>

Change for the following configuration:


<constructor><br>      <!-- The name of the set of bindings to use for this server --><br>      <parameter>${jboss.service.binding.set:ports-01}</parameter> 

JBoss have 4 pre-built port configurations available that you can use. If you need more than 4 you can play with the offset configuration:
<!-- The port offset --><br><parameter>100</parameter>

Enjoy. :D

Cheers

C Unit Testing with Check

Image
When I start on IT, several years ago(+15), C was the first language that I learned. But was not the first language I mastered and deployed in production which was...surprisingly Visual Basic 6.0. However, when I learned C or any language back on that old and arcane time noddy was into testing. However now is impossible to work professionally in any language without tests. C is a low-level language but still kicks ass and has several interesting libs/frameworks. People use to fear C a lot because of lack of syntactical sugar but once you get used to it is not that hard at all. Today I want to show how you can do Unit Testing with C. I will not show how to do Unit Testing with C++ but with C ANSI actually. We will be using Check a unit test lib for C ANSI.

Having fun with Zig Language

Image
Zig is a general-purpose language created in 2016 by Andrew Kelly .  Zig aims to fix the issues C language has while being pragmatic and simple at the same time. Zig really shines as being simple by not having any hidden control flows, not having hidden memory allocations, no pre-processors, and no macros. Basically, it's one language and one language only. Since pre-processors and macros can get really complex and become their own universe. Sure it's not the Zig Philosophy.  Zig Compiler(Zig cc) also is a C compiler, and the interoperability from C to Zig is very good. Clearly, we can see influence from other languages like Go and Rust; however, Zig is pretty unique and different from Go and Rust.  Zig is fast. Zig is perfect for system programming. I bet we will see a lot of solutions being built in Zig. As a languages aficionado, I like to learn at least one language per year and sometimes more; Zig was my 2021 pick, did not regret it. Even if you dont use all language...

HMAC in Java

Image
In 2018 AWS CTO(Vogels) said : "Security is everyone's job". For the last 2 years, there was so many famous and big data leaks and breaks that made that statement be very true more than ever. Security often could mean worst performance and worst user experience so in order to get it right you really need to think about the designs before jumping into to code and consider performance and user experience has main requirements.  I was thinking about writing about how to do HMAC in Java for a while and recently Redis 6.0.0 come out and to my surprise, there was a refactoring on the password part in order to use HMAC.  Security easily could scare engineers often because it is not something well spread yet but I believe this will change soon. It does not matter if you have to deal with PII Data or not, security is super relevant because everybody is running their workloads at the cloud or with IoT and Edge devices which means more distribution, more code, more points of fail...
