tonight's geek readings
Great article about J2EE clustering on The Server Side a few days ago. Will be using it as a reference for my eventual Cosmo scalability white paper.
Java.net has a fascinating (but slightly less useful for Cosmo) article on spell checking and similar query suggestions with Lucene.
On IBM's developerWorks, an article comparing Ruby on Rails and Struts. i've read enough tutorials on Rails now that i can see why it's so attractive to so many. i'm still skeptical about implementing anything with Ruby and Rails other than simple CRUD apps, but i absolutely love the "convention over configuration" concept and the simple aesthetic of Rails apps' URLs. i know Struts well enough now to do pretty much anything i want to with it, but i hate being enslaved to its XML config file (and that of Tiles). and after looking at Rails, i'm seriously annoyed at having to write code and/or configuration in like 8 different places to implement a single new piece of configuration in a Struts app. nuts. hopefully Struts Ti will fulfill all of my fantasies.
