Companies Want Free Pass On Securing
Your Info 03/06/2004 02:05 AM
With all the stories coming out of various corporate databases being hacked and your supposedly "private" info being taken, many companies are taking an interesting approach. Instead of focusing on better ways to secure the info and protect your privacy, they're snea king in waivers to agreements, where you have to say that you give up your right to sue them, should they leak your info. It turns out that among all the legal language you go through when using Verizon Wireless' or American Airlines' online websites, they make you agree that you won't sue them if they can't keep your data secure. This doesn't give them much incentive to keep the system as secure as possible, does it? On the flip side, though, many are saying the reason they're doing this is because of recent actions by the FTC - where they sued certain companies for promising security levels they didn't meet. Since it's difficult to guarantee that the data won't be stolen, companies are resorting to these legal clauses to get around the liability issue. Of course, I wonder how enforceable such a waiver really is? If the company is shown to be grossly negligent in how they set up their security, it probably won't matter that people clicked through a waiver that they didn't read.

Best JavaOne Since 1999!

I predict this year's JavaOne is going to be the best one since the heydey of Java in 1999. Why?

1. I'm back. I haven't even been in the country, let alone San Francisco since then. That alone is going to make it better for me. :-)

2. The Buzz Is Back: Anyone here in the Valley can feel that the tech industry is resurging. Mobile Java is ubiquitous, Java is the established leader on the server and there's opportunity and energy bubbling up everywhere.

3. JavaBlogs (and Java.net, JavaLobby and TheServerSide): There's a tighter community of Java developers out there than ever before. This is going to make the conference a lot more "closer" and allow everyone on the *outside* of the conference to take part vicariously as well.

4. Apple's WWDC: It's at the same time and across the street and will add style (and women) to what would normally be a hordes of geeky developers talking about technology plumbing.

5. The Party!: There's going to be a JavaBlogs meetup Monday at Thirsty Bear! Be there and be square! I mean, Dave, Matt, Simon, Tim, Mike, Bob, Charles and more are going to be there. Rock on! I'll make sure I bring lots of J2ME toys to show.

As for the conference sessions themselves? They don't seem bad. (Remember, generally avoid sessions given by a Sun employee since it'll be 99% marketing.)

JavaOne proposals 02/05/2005 10:07 PM

A first for me: I submitted a couple of proposals for JavaOne 2005. The first one is a joint session with four speakers (that may pose a problem) titled Beyond Blogging: Feed Syndication and Publishing with Java. If the proposal is accepted Kevin Burton, Patrick Chanezon, Alejanro Abdelnur, and I will discuss the Java tools available for feed syndication, FeedParse r, Rome, Roller, and BlogClient. We'll also discuss plans for moving towards a standard Java API for feed parsing, generation, and publishing.  The second paper is titled Enterprise Blogging With Java and it is basically an updated and improved version of the talk I gave at the Triangle and Orlando/Gainesville JUGs last year.

ComputerWorld: JavaOne: Sparks may fly at open-source debate. I wonder why people who are actually working on open-source Java are not on the panel; I imagine Tom Tromey or Dalibor Topic would be happy to participate. I'm less concerned about Sun's source code than about putting all Java implementers on a level footing, so if I were on this panel I'd be asking questions about JCK, shared code, and trademark licensing. The press never mentions these issues, possibly because Sun has framed the debate to be purely about their code.

JavaOne: Java spec promises better
mobile experience

JavaOne: Java spec promises better
mobile experience 06/24/2005 06:55 PM

Work is being wrapped up on the first draft of a set of new Java technologies that could bring big benefits to mobile phone applications for both work and entertainment.

The technologies, embodied in a new Java specification, include management capabilities that should allow mobile operators to send software updates to phones after they have been distributed, monitor hardware resources and even troubleshoot problems remotely, said Jon Bostrom, director of Java technology at Nokia  and one of the specification's lead developers.

If a user wants to download a new game and lacks the right codec (coder/decoder), for example, the technology should allow a developer to package the codec and the game together and deliver them at the simultaneously, even installing them while the phone is in use.

The specification also includes runtime technologies that should make it easier for developers to write applications that need to talk to servers or other phones. They might include games that include instant messaging features, or business programs that pull customer information from a back-end systems.

Those applications should be easier to build because the specification provides many of the runtime "services," such as security, message queuing and connectivity, that developers would otherwise have to write for their application. That allows them to focus on their user interfaces and business logic and not worry about the infrastructure, or middleware, components.

"What we're really doing is bringing the middleware environment that has been so successful on servers into mobile clients," Bostrom said.

Nokia and Motorola led the development of the specification, called JSR 232 for Mobile Operational Management. It is also backed by other handset makers, operators and software vendors including Vodafone Group, NTT DoCoMo, IBM and SAP.

SAP is interested because it wants to make it easier for its customers to write client applications that extend its ERP (enterprise resource planning) software to mobile devices, Bostrom said. Phone makers and operators, meanwhile, hope to entice customers with better products and services.

The spec itself is a document hundreds of pages long that tells phone makers and developers how to implement the technologies. It will become part of the J2ME (Java 2 Micro Edition) specification for phones and other embedded devices.

Pertti Korhonen, Nokia's chief technology officer, is expected to show off JSR 232 at next week's JavaOne show in San Francisco. He'll announce when developers can get their hands on a software development kit and show them what it will look like, Bostrom said.

The first draft specification should be completed in about a month, and the final specification is targeted for the end of the year. It may take six to nine months after that for a spec to appear in finished products.

Not everything has gone smoothly. JSR 232 is already a year behind schedule, largely because of the time it took to get the industry players involved to see its benefits. "They're used to the idea that you just burn the software into the phone and ship it. We've had a tremendous education process to go through," Bostrom said.

The group has also had to coordinate each step of its work with a related standards body, the Open Systems Gateway Initiative.

JSR 232 could be a big benefit to both operators and enterprises, but its success depends partly on how much support it can muster from developers, said Mark Blowers, a senior research analyst with Butler Group, in Hull, England.

"It's still early days," he said. "They're at the end of the runway and now they have to see whether it takes off."

Some phone users will be hoping it does. Daren Sidall, a principal analyst with Gartner Inc. in the U.K., tried out a service from Hellomagazine.com recently that uses a Java program to deliver celebrity news and pictures to a mobile phone.

The first day's content looked fine, but after that he was unable to download updated content. He found out eventually that the GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) settings on his phone needed changing. Asking his operator seemed like too much hassle so he cancelled the service.

"It's a classic case of a decent service falling at the first hurdle," he said.

It's also the type of problem that JSR 232 should help to fix.
