J. Ayen Green | June 2009 | Content Management Drupal Open Source
Drupal provides an environment where a single person can do the job of creating, editing, approving, and publishing. This works well with a small site and a low volume of content. However, where large sites and larger quantities of content prevail, there is often a team involved. In this article, we will learn about some of the terminologies that Drupal provides for supporting team work, such as:
- Roles—defining types of users
- Permissions—defining capabilities for each role
- Node Content types—as they apply to Roles
- Access Rules—for those pesky misbehaving users

J. Ayen Green | June 2009 | Content Management Drupal Open Source
Interesting and useful content is a necessity on any web site, particularly on those built around a Content Management System. However, this may not be the only necessity. Another necessity is making the browsing experience on your site pleasant for the visitor, and in this context, making the content easy to find. Having content on the front page of the site is one way to make it findable, but the amount of content is limited to a point before the page becomes unwieldy. In this article by J. Ayen Green, we will make it easier for site visitors to find our content in a number of ways.

by Christer Edwards |
June 2009 | Open Source
In this article by Christer Edwards, we will explore FreeBSD Jails. FreeBSD Jails are a kernel-level security mechanism which allows you to safely segregate processes within a sandbox environment. Jails are commonly used to secure production network services like DNS or Email by restricting what a process can access. In the case of a malicious attack on one service, all other Jailed processes would remain secure. FreeBSD Jails securely limits, in an administratively simple way, the amount of damage an attacker can do to a server.

Apache OFBiz Service Engine: Part 1
by
Jonathon Wong Rupert Howell | June 2009 | Java Open Source
In this two-part article by Jonathon Wong and Rupert Howell, we will be exploring the Service Engine. Services in OFBiz operate in a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). These services not only have the ability to invoke other services internally, but can also be 'opened up' and invoked by remote applications using, amongst other methods, the widely adopted messaging protocol SOAP.
Besides serving as a platform for interoperability, OFBiz services also offer us additional capability to organize our code. The traditional organizational strategies in object-oriented Java were a great improvement over the procedural paradigm. Wrapping both methods and variables together into objects to form a powerful "behavioral model" for code organization (where object's methods and variables define their behavior). Similarly with OFBiz services we are able to bundle groups of behavior together to form a coherent "service". We can say that OFBiz services, in terms of code or software organization, operate at a higher level than Java object-oriented organizational strategies.
In this part, we will be looking at:
- Defining and creating a Java service
- Service parameters
- Special unchecked (unmatched) IN/OUT parameters
- Security-related programming

Dave Newton | June 2009 | Open Source
In this article by Dave Newton we will learn how to modify the built-in themes and templates of Struts 2. We'll introduce a requirement to a recipe entry screen to have some different behavior when there is a validation error.

We'd like to highlight the entire row as a gentle reminder that our user has left out something important.
