This release fixes many issues with the site including:
1. Comments are working again.
2. Favorites are working.
3. Performance has improved considerably. We can now handle 170 requests per second with the current hardware.
4. Issues creating new accounts have been fixed.
5. The application is now using spring booturn:jj:justjournal.com:atom1:jjsite:32899JustJournal is partially back up2012-06-23T17:24:00.000Z2012-06-23T17:24:00.000Z<p>Last week, we did a major upgrade on the database server.
A bug introduced in the latest MySQL release has broken a
database component we used throughout the site. This was
Sun's old CachedRowSet. </p>
<p>As a result, any SQL query using named parameters (something AS
somethingelse) is broken. Some queries I can remove the offending
as statement on, but others this is not possible due to ambiguity.
I've decided to take this opportunity to migrate some of the site
to an ORM called Apache Cayenne. I've used it with several
other projects and it's quite good. This also has a side
effect of avoiding the problem with MySQL. </p>
<p>Normally I would have migrated back to the previous version, but
it was a little complicated this time. I appologize for the
down time and will continue to fix things on the site as I get a
chance. Remember, I have a day job. </p>

spent a few hours tonight working on the rewrite of just journal.
The new version will take advantage of newer technologies
that have come out since the site was created. </p>
<p>The current plan is to use much of the existing data access code
and business logic (but refactored a bit) with a new front end.
This will allow me to finally get the website design
standardized after all these years. I'm going to drop
Maverick and move to a newer Apache framework as well as drop JSP
pages on the site. </p>
<p>Once this phase of development is complete, I plan on migrating
to Apache Cayenne. A few things are already using it, but
there is much to do yet.</p>
<p>I plan on keeping the old servlet around for some time to post
blog entries as most of the gui and command line clients use this.
The C clients uses the xml-rpc interface, and i may start
migrating the .NET client and java clients in that direction.
</p>
<p>This is a good time to put in for feature requests. I've
already had several lately related to image handling and pictures.

The site might be slow as the second drive is synced.
It could take a few hours. </p>
<p>The new drives are western digital black 1.5TB. The old
drive that failed was a seagate 7200.11 750GB (china factory) .
I'll probably RMA the seagate drive and use it for something else.
It happens. </p>

down for four hours. I'll have to bring it down again later
this week to get a second drive in for the raid and remount it.

down boxes for security settings on post)</p>
<p>I'll look into updating Dojo soon to fix this.</p>
