Luck By Chance

No, no I’m not here to discuss the latest Farhan Akhtar starred film, Luck By Chance.
This actually regarding the Best Java forum on earth, JavaRanch where mostly I’m engaged with my post. The forum is very friendly yet professional. Most of the time they have a book promotion, which is usually starts at Monday and ends at Friday, in a same week. This time they gave out the copies of “Eclipse Plugin” in 'IDEs, Version Control and other tools' forum section, they draw 4 lucky posters at randomly, and give out book to them, and this time, I won the book…

Now what is the Luck By chance, because when you post only one answer to this forum and still you won, you need to be lucky and after all it’s my day, isn’t it?

Many people (Not "really" many , but one) questioned about the correctness of that software, after saw my name who posted only one reply. It’s all your luck and for the matter of fact, I participated in many book promotions earlier, recent one is for 'Apache Struts 2 Web Application Development' book and I posted nearly 12 to 14 replies, but no luck.

Afterthoughts: The more I blog, the more you know, I'm full of links!!
Updates: Received book yesterday (22 June 09)

GlassFish V3 admin console taking too much time to load.

If you have installed Glassfish V3 and trying to load admin console, but after signing in, is it taking too much time to get to the main page ? Do you have server.log entry like this: admin console: initSessionAttributes() Cannot refresh Catalog : Connection timed out then its time to tweak some files. Here its how: 1. Update the %GLASSFISH_HOME/glassfish/domains/domain1/domain.xml -Dcom.sun.enterprise.tools.admingui.NO_NETWORK=true This will block up the News item, the registration item, etc 2. Remove update tool jar (Backup and remove this JAR) %GLASSFISH_HOME/glassfish/modules/console-updatecenter-plugin.jar Delete this dir: %GLASSFISH_HOME/glassfish/domains/domain1/osgi-cache %GLASSFISH_HOME/glassfish/domains/domain1/generated Now start the server (bin/asadmin start-domain) and you will see the admin console won't be hang up and take you directly to main page.

INTO OUTFILE query, How to modify & output null values ?

I tried one query (originally asked at JR) on MySQL which export the table data into a file, with a comma delimited field. The query is straight forward and replace the null column value by "\N" character, but when I want to replace that "\N" value by some other character like "0" or simple empty field like " ", its gets little tricky. Here is the base query SELECT Id, name, age FROM student INTO OUTFILE 'c:/result.txt' FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'; And it outputs like, 1, "sagar", 23 2, "anant", 24 Now suppose some 'name' fields are null, then it outputs like 1, "sagar", 23 2, \N, 24 Now to obtain my desired results, which replace this null (\N) values by empty string like, "", I tried out two solutions --1. Using CASE statement SELECT Id, CASE WHEN name IS NULL THEN '' ELSE name END AS NewName, age FROM s...
