Back To Basics
It seems that I’ll be entering the debate once again. To Struts or not to Struts? I’m with. But I’m tired. I’ll try to base my next discussion on this.

Ofbiz with MaxDB
Finally! I was able to get Ofbiz running with MaxDB. First impression about MaxDB by MySQL (formerly SAP DB) that it’s quite nice. Problems are easier to locate and solve than MySQL (so far). The Database Manager GUI rocks (though I wonder if Database Administrator from MySQL can connect to MaxDB – but perhaps another day for that issue)....
Karam Gaber Ibrahim – Egyptian Gold Medalist
Congratulations to Karam Gaber Ibrahim. He won an Olympic Gold Medal at Athens 2004. He’s the first Egyptian to earn an Olympic gold medal in the living memory. He’s also a fellow Alexandrian Congratulations for his coach and team members for their achievement. Karam won a Gold Medal for the Greco-Roman Wrestling 96 kg, a truly non popular sport...
Data Import into OFBiz
My Second day with OFBiz. Exhausting experience. I managed to set up a sample Store, Website, Catalogue, Category and Product as per Ian Gilbert’s walk thru. Being an ofbiz admin is not easy I still have a long way to go with the design, database and architecture. A first problem is how can I upload the set of data...

I admit that I’ve lost the knowledge I previously gained about Egyptian and world history through the primary/seconday education...

Apparently, the driver had the upper hand. Yesterday, I saw a street police officer getting cursed because he tried to prevent a car from going past a traffic light. For...
ILOG – JViews Gantt
Seems like JViews Gantt is a good candidate for one of the projects that we?re currently developing. We?re interested in having an output similar to that of Microsoft Project in a thin-client environment (JViews Gantt capabilities sounds good). It still too early to decide weather it?s the right solution (JSP tags, features, ease, scalability, etc…). Does anyone have an...
OFBiz
I planned to start learning OFBiz seriously (after spending few intermittent weeks reading about its structure, architecture and capabilities). I took the decision yesterday after a discussion with an IT operations manager in one of the companies that is actually using Ofbiz to make money. I’m starting to believe that putting together these broad range of solutions with such...
