openssl s_client

I’ve been playing with SSL client authentication in Apache httpd today at work.  It’s something I’ve always wanted to play with but haven’t had a good reason to invest the time until now.
In the process of testing my configuration, I came across openssl s_client. It’s one of those things I should have already known […]

Migrating ADBCJ to Google Code

As part of my master’s thesis, I’m developing an asynchronous event-driven database driver API that I call ADBCJ. I currently have three implementations of the API. One implementation uses JDBC and achieves asynchronism using a thread pool. The other two implementations are custom drivers that are built using Apache MINA. MINA […]

One of the really nice things about ApacheCon is that it makes it possible to finally put a face to a name.  On Day 2 I finally met Peter Royal, a fellow Apache MINA committer.  After meeting Peter, I was introduced to Brian McCallister.  I talked with Brian about my asynchronous database driver project, ADBCJ.  […]
