WASService.sh and ulimit.... a tricky combo


From version 7 onward, the Application Server scripts and configuration scripts have the good manner to set by themselves the right ulimit valu. So ulimit is now less a problem than it was before. The problem is that, sometime when dealing with linux services,things do not always get right.

For example you get exceptions such as

[11/14/13 12:06:15:483 CET] 00000066 exception     E com.ibm.ws.wim.adapter.ldap.LdapAdapter authenticateWithPassword
                                 com.ibm.websphere.wim.exception.WIMSystemException: CWWIM4520E  The 'javax.naming.CommunicationException: ldapus.ldap.domain.com:389 [Root exception is java.net.SocketException: Too many open files]' naming exception occurred during processing.

(In case you are asking, yes, network connections are counted as open files)

That's why I strongly suggest to modify your /etc/security/limits.conf (on RedHat) before restarting your machine, after you added WASService.sh service to your linux box. We added to the file the following two lines to the /etc/security/limits.conf

*               soft    nofile            32768
*               hard   nofile            32768

and then restarted the machine and had my Connections environment working.

Building bitcoin/litecoin on mac os x missing EC.h

For my own fun, I was playing around with bitcoin, to check how the parameters of the cryptocurrencies can be modified. After recent upgrades to my OS, I could not build any longer the bitcoind. Seems like something changed on that side. Now this command ./configure --with-gui=qt5 --enable-debug Was sistematically producing  configure: error: OpenSSL ec header missing EC is the file for elliptic curve cryptography. I had brew correctly configured, and the header files were all correctly present. After some time spent inspecting the issue, on github I was able to find the solution for this problem. I simply add to export the following export LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib export CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include There is aksi pull request on bitcoin for that, I hope I could save you some time https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/6885/files?diff=split&unchanged=expanded

Multiple controllers with Spring Boot

Remember, when you want to have multiple controllers with Spring Boot, you should always name them differently in the annotation, otherwise they will not work So these two together will NOT work (or just one of them will work) These two instead WILL work.
