A quick fix to set Locale on OOO (Open office org)

One of our web application uses OOO(open office org 3.2) to convert msOffice file to HTML file. There are a open source project named JodConverter which helps you to do most of the low level works such as connecting to server and much more. For quick start you can see my previous post. Few days ago we got a bug about Russian encoding after converting big Ms Word file to Html, as a usual our developers done their all the best to get rid of it, put directives on html and much more, but all in vain. Then i tried to change the OOO settings which recommended on ooo forums.
1) Change HTML compatibility - character set UTF-8 which should fix the problem but it havn't
2) Then change the Language settings -> set Locale for Russian and the bug fixes.

Preferences
During my annual vacation, colleague could not manage to change the preferences to the production server. He as usual connect to server by ssl client on cli mode and thus could't change to the preferences. We usually use winscp or standard ssl client to connect to remote Solaris server. There are another very well tools xManager which will help you to bring remote linux/unix desktop to your windows desktop. Another very useful command is display LocalIP to tunneling gui from remote computer to local.
DISPLAY=HOST:0.0, export DISPLAY

For that remote port should be open for you to tunneling.
My colleague found another very quick fix to solve the problem with encoding. Through winscp he connects to the remote server and change the default locale to Russian by the following code on Linguistic.xcu file. Here is the fragments of the file to change
<node oor:name="General">

<prop oor:name="DefaultLocale" oor:type="xs:string">

<value>ru-RU</value>

</prop>

</node>

lingusitic.xcu file should be found on Solris file systme ~/.openoffice.org/3/user/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Linguistic.xcu

8 things every developer should know about the Apache Ignite caching

Any technology, no matter how advanced it is, will not be able to solve your problems if you implement it improperly. Caching, precisely when it comes to the use of a distributed caching, can only accelerate your application with the proper use and configurations of it. From this point of view, Apache Ignite is no different, and there are a few steps to consider before using it in the production environment. In this article, we describe various technics that can help you to plan and adequately use of Apache Ignite as cutting-edge caching technology. Do proper capacity planning before using Ignite cluster. Do paperwork for understanding the size of the cache, number of CPUs or how many JVMs will be required. Let’s assume that you are using Hibernate as an ORM in 10 application servers and wish to use Ignite as an L2 cache. Calculate the total memory usages and the number of Ignite nodes you have to need for maintaining your SLA. An incorrect number of the Ignite nodes can become a b...

Analyse with ANT - a sonar way

After the Javaone conference in Moscow, i have found some free hours to play with Sonar . Here is a quick steps to start analyzing with ANT projects. Sonar provides Analyze with ANT document to play around with ANT, i have just modify some parts. Here is it. 1) Download the Sonar Ant Task and put it in your ${ANT_HOME}/lib directory 2) Modify your ANT build.xml as follows: <?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1251'?> <project name="abc" default="build" basedir="."> <!-- Define the Sonar task if this hasn't been done in a common script --> <taskdef uri="antlib:org.sonar.ant" resource="org/sonar/ant/antlib.xml"> <classpath path="E:\java\ant\1.8\apache-ant-1.8.0\lib" /> </taskdef> <!-- Out-of-the-box those parameters are optional --> <property name="sonar.jdbc.url" value="jdbc:oracle:thin:@xyz/sirius.xyz" /> <property na...

Apache Ignite Baseline Topology by Examples

Ignite Baseline Topology or BLT represents a set of server nodes in the cluster that persists data on disk. Where, N1-2 and N5 server nodes are the member of the Ignite clusters with native persistence which enable data to persist on disk. N3-4 and N6 server nodes are the member of the Ignite cluster but not a part of the baseline topology. The nodes from the baseline topology are a regular server node, that store's data in memory and on the disk, and also participates in computing tasks. Ignite clusters can have different nodes that are not a part of the baseline topology such as: Server nodes that are not used Ignite native persistence to persist data on disk. Usually, they store data in memory or persists data to a 3rd party database or NoSQL. In the above equitation, node N3 or N4 might be one of them. Client nodes that are not stored shared data. To better understand the baseline topology concept, let’s start at the beginning and try to understand its goal and what ...
