VM Observations

Things to Consider

  • Developers do not have root access
    • May not be able to override some settings
    • Will not know how admin configurations work, need to rely upon Unix team
    • Should match environments, if in synch
    • Maybe we need a root machine as a sandbox for playing with jBoss configurations, otherwise we rely upon Unix team for all configuration knowledge
  • Who will support the VM's and re-imaging of them when necessary
  • xManager seems to have issues after staying open for several hours on our machines, this appears to be an xManager issue, also once the session is closed everything stops
  • Slight delay when switching screens, and copy/pasting
  • Turning on session replication
    • Session size is important to watch again!
    • Page will crash if session object is NOT serializable
  • Unable to print
  • Remotely connect to Linux VM directly (rather than through work PC)
    • Mike Schumacher said that this might be doable if (1) we use apps.halw.com to instead of vpn.halw.com and (2) he would install XManager client on the Citrix Server. He said that they would need to set up access rights for me so that I could test it.
  • Local development should explode the EAR file to avoid having to do a complete build to change a JSP
  • Quirks in Jboss dev studio that I should be able to fix myself, but haven’t yet
    • Not getting help from the IDE like code complete (where you type an object and all the methods come up)
    • If I have an issue (like missing an import, etc.), the line is not highlighted red, the import statement isn’t automatically added like it is in the Eclipse that I used to use, and I can’t tell until I do a build
    • How do we run in debug mode where we can set breakpoints?
  • Quirk with the VM
    • Cannot reboot the VM
    • Sonya Hint: Hitting XManager’s Close button (x button) kills the gnome session, which kills everything. When you are using XManager, when you are done, you should close all apps and then go to System >> Log off
