My Pentaho experience

I was playing with pentaho over the weekend and must say I am impressed with what I have seen.

The report designer is now very functional. I am going to have to play with it a bit more to be understand what can be done fully but producing a report with parameters is really easy once you get a hang of the tool.
(I click on the query you want to modify and modify the sql instead of using the edit button)

I replaced the pentaho security implementation with my own implementation and was surprised to find out how easy the spring security implementation was (one thing I wrote my own GrantedAuthority implementation which was a bad idea the default one org.springframework.security.GrantedAuthorityImpl works well and includes an equals, hashcode and compareto which mine did not and didnt work and implementation)

ADF sort of generic screen for tables with the same structure

We have a couple (about a hundred) of tables with the same structure (Code, Description, Create Date, Update Date).

I then Added a transient attribute called table name to my EO based on a groovy expression. (the expression needs to change as I am reading web tier stuff from the model layer but I will fix this later) I then generated a java class for my EO. And added the following overriden method to my newly created java class. protected StringBuffer buildDMLStatement(int i, AttributeDefImpl[] attributeDefImpl,   AttributeDefImpl[] attributeDefImpl2, AttributeDefImpl[] attributeDefImpl3, boolean b) {   StringBuffer statement = super.buildDMLStatement(   i, attributeDefImpl, attributeDefImpl2, attributeDefImpl3, b); return new StringBuffer(StringUtils.replace(statement.to...

MANIFEST.MF merge JDeveloper for an executable jar

Goto your project > properties. Then click on deployment in the menu. Edit or add a jar deployment profile. Fill in the details under jar options (select Include manifest and give it a main class name) Also remember that the merge functionality only works with a BLANK line at the end of the merge file. REALLY this caught me. My merge file contents: Class-Path: commons-codec-1.3.jar [...empty line here CRLF...]
