最近，頻繁聽到很多關于Weblogic亂碼的問題，
其實，都是一些個人認為比較容易避免的問題。
1，如果是開發階段的亂碼，比如從屏幕上看到了一堆亂七八糟的編碼
嘗試在weblogic.xml文件的<jsp-descriptor>部分加入下面的描述：
? <jsp-descriptor>
?????? <jsp-param>
???????????? <param-name>compilerSupportsEncoding</param-name>
???????????? <param-value>true</param-value>
???????? </jsp-param>
???????? <jsp-param>
???????????? <param-name>encoding</param-name>
?????????????? <param-value>GBK</param-value>
???????? </jsp-param>
? </jsp-descriptor>
這樣，起碼會告訴Weblogic容器你的應用含有中文，比如JSP頁面，而它會善待你的JSP中的中文。
2，如果你是在Windows上面開發，然后部署到其他平臺，比如IBM AIX上，則你要注意encoding的問題，
即文件的Encoding。比如，通常來說，各位都是Eclipse之徒，默認Eclipse上面的文件格式是基于本地的字符集，
即GBK，你是用GBK存儲這些文件，甚至打包后想放到AIX上運行是不行的，解決方法太簡單了，
JAVA_OPTIONS=-Dfile.encoding=GBK告訴AIX上的Weblogic上的IBM JVM，默認文件encoding不是utf-8，是GBK, 即可。
上面兩種方法，前者是針對中文編碼的識別問題，后者是針對文件編碼的識別問題，兩者是不一樣的。
在Java中，任何的內容都是以Unicode存在的，看Java程序中的內存，全部String都是Unicode，另外一個問題是，
假定這些String存儲成文件，則要考慮Unicode如何寫入到文件中，通常用的都是utf-8編碼來存儲。

Red Hat Earnings Shrug Off Oracle Threat -- ZDNet.com
December 21, 2006 -- Red Hat's net income subsided in its most recent quarter, but revenue increased as the Linux seller shrugged off the arrival of Oracle as a direct competitor. For the quarter ended November 30, the company's net income was $15.5 million, down 37 percent compared with the same period a year ago. But its revenue increased 45 percent to $105.8 million. The net income of 14 cents per share, excluding various charges like stock option expenses, beat the average expectation of 12 cents per share predicted by analysts surveyed by First Call. "It looks like the world is not coming to an end for you guys after all," said Merrill Lynch analyst Kash Rangan shortly afterward.
Customer Backlash Against Oracle's Buggy Linux Product? -- SeekingAlpha.com
December 22, 2006 -- Mark Murphy, an analyst for First Albany, asked "So, I guess the question is, is it realistic to think that Oracle is just going to ride this experiment into the ground, or would you expect them to possibly withdraw their offering from the marketplace?" Matthew Szulik, CEO Red Hat, responded "we're focused on the success of our customers. We are focused on expanding the opportunity for open source software through initiatives like OLPC with RHEL 5, RHN 2.0, the expanding JBoss middleware stack, and I have to be frank with you, I don't spend a whole lot of time thinking about the operational issues and the Oracle operating system product."

SAP Fills Out 2007 Agenda -- InternetNews.com
December 22, 2006 -- At the top of SAP's agenda is the SOA initiative, its new Duet software for Microsoft Office users, and an enterprise search service still in development. SAP's answer is to provide a standard platform based on its NetWeaver software on which to allow customers, ISVs, and others innovate. While most platform vendors let customers innovate to some degree, analyst Joshua Greenbaum credits SAP for running more forcefully with the idea. "Some of SAP's competitors are known for predatory partnerships, where you also have to compete with them, and I think SAP used to be more like that too," Greenbaum, who is with Enterprise Applications Consulting, told internetnews.com.

Key Developer Quits Novell Over Microsoft Patent Pact -- eWeek.com
December 21, 2006 -- Jeremy Allison, a leading Samba developer and well-known open-source speaker, has decided to leave Novell because of his objections to the Microsoft/Novell patent agreement. In his public letter of resignation, Allison said, "This has been a very difficult decision, but one I feel I have no choice but to make. My main issue with this deal is I believe that even if it does not violate the letter of the license it violates the intent of the GPL license the Samba code is released under, which is to treat all recipients of the code equally."

Wall Street Beat: The Year Ahead -- InfoWorld.com
December 22, 2006 -- Get set for some surprises. With 12 months of moderate expansion expected in the global IT arena, vendors will have to get creative in 2007 to maintain the kind of growth investors want. Tech companies, however, are under pressure. Worldwide IT spending will increase by 6.6 percent in 2007, according to IDC. This is slightly better than the 2006 increase of 6.3 percent but nowhere near the double-digit levels of the dot-com boom. "You will see major vendors performing unnatural acts," quipped Frank Gens, senior vice president of research at IDC.

Feature Story
The Traditional ESB Gets Weaved Into An SOA Fabric -- SearchWebServices.com
December 21, 2006 -- In a sign of how quickly things change, the "traditional" enterprise service bus is undergoing an evolution to stay current with the demands of the service-oriented architecture, morphing from an integration/messaging tool to an infrastructure offering that includes tools for business process management (BPM) and governance, analysts say.
The introduction this week of webMethods Fabric 7.0 indicates how much the ESB product category has grown from its original integration backbone role.
"The thing that we see in webMethods Fabric 7.0 is a really straightforward development environment for building composite applications in an SOA fashion," said Bill Swanton, vice president of research for AMR Research, Inc. He said the new product integrates all the tools historically linked to integration including the original enterprise application integration (EAI) technology as well as ESB, but now includes BPM, business activity monitoring (BAM), registry/repository and governance capabilities.
Outmoded as EAI may appear to be in an SOA world, it is still important to support the legacy technology, which is still in place in many corporations, said Peter S. Kastner, vice president enterprise integration for the Aberdeen Group.
"We found almost nobody who is willing to abandon their investments in EAI just to buy an ESB to say that they own one," he said. He cited webMethods as an original EAI company that has successfully made the transition into the SOA world while providing a bridge back to old integration technology. His research of IT departments this year disproved his own belief that the old integration vendors were doomed.
"My hypothesis going into the year was that the EAI companies would take it on the chin," Kastner said. "The reality is the vast majority of their customers are fairly easily connecting SOA via adapters to their EAI fabric or infrastructure."
Kastner and Swanton agree that adding the newer technology, especially BPM, is important to the evolution of the ESB technology webMethods is packaging under its Fabric brand.
Swanton said many of the other ESB vendors are still trying to put together a comprehensive toolset that will serve the needs of both business analysts and developers. The overall ESB technology is moving to include BPM so that developers can work with business analysts on the applications for the business processes, he said.
The BPM technology is important, Kastner said, because based on his research big business is embracing it in a big way. "We're seeing at this point that roughly 50 percent of the Global 5000 are actively engaged in business process management development." He noted that webMethods is not alone in integrating BPM into its ESB technology.
"You should note that Tibco has invested heavily in BPM over the last several years," he said. "Fiorano also beefed up their ESB product significantly in the BPM space in the last six months."
ESB evolution requires a new definition and perhaps even a new name, said Marc Breissinger, CTO at webMethods Inc., noting that the industry is beginning to embrace the term "fabric," which his company and some others use in their product branding.
From webMethod's point of view, the CTO said, the definition of ESB has expanded from a set of categorical definitions of features and functionality to a general category of technology that solves business problems.
"The focus of webMethods Fabric 7.0 coming out this week has to do with the evolution of business process management systems in the context of SOA and classic integration scenarios," Breissinger said. "What we have seen is a convergence of the straight-through processing style automated BPM along with the more human-centric approaches to business process management, or what is commonly referred to as workflow, into a coherent whole, along with business activity monitoring that also needs to be delivered by the BPMS, as well as UI development."
The term fabric has become the umbrella for all the added tools and technologies. It is also used by the Burton Group, which uses terms such as middleware fabric and Web services fabric in discussing application integration using the service-oriented approach.
Breissinger said he isn't wild about the fabric terminology, but it appears to be the best way to describe the holistic approach to combining ESB with BPM and other technology for measuring, modeling and implementing SOA.
"In the past before we got into the BPM space, we were talking about integration backbones," the webMethods' CTO said in providing a brief history of terms. "Then we talked about services buses. In a sense the fabric is the same concept taken one step further to include the business process management and the analytics and the composite application development capabilities to give you that full system building infrastructure versus a pure bus or backbone."
