Another at http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/j-dyn0603/

Also please go through the documentation of :

java.lang.Class
java.lang.reflect.*;

A sample application can be downloaded by clicking here. People who dont know Struts framework, can use the sample project given in the first link to understand how dynamically create objects of class and invoke their methods.

Specification of the project

Development Tool - NetBeans 5.5.1

Framework Struts - 1.2.9

Mailsend is a multi platform command line tool to send mails.

It has two modes : commandline and interactive

I have used this mailsend binary to send mails as a background process by using a wrapper shell script to read the necessary inputs required by mailsend from XML files. This script would be called by cron periodically. The XML files have the email data contained in it.

You can download the Opensource software from the below link

I was wondering, Why software occupation is uninteresting to few people ?

Fatigue is common to all types of occupation.

But the reason i believe why software profession is uninteresting is “Software is intangible”.

I feel that more research and innovation in software arena is possible, if people start enjoying the software development process and the draw an analogy of the concepts involved with the real life. After all, softwares are meant to automate the real world.

What is the difference between Software development and Construction process ?

SVN !

Other than an SVN, i feel the issues involved in the processes are analogous. Specially the HR issues lol

MOTODEV summit had exciting sessions about mobile application development for motorola mobiles phone. The keynote address, illustrated the current trend in mobile products industry and competitors like Symbian, Windows and Linux. I became familiar with the MOTODEV studio. The sessions which were interesting are WebUI and how to develop application using MOTODEV studio. The MOTODEV studio is an Eclipse based tool. It was clear that mobile applications developed, which use JSR API run on JSR supported mobiles independent of the OS. Java Verified process for geting trusted application certification was new piece of information to me. Using APIs which affects the personal information requires that the application has to be trusted, for the mobile OS to install the application.

A session on location based services illustrated how easy it was to write a Java code to extract the CellID, IMEI number etc. A few such mobile applications are available from their catalog. One can tap the potential of social networking, geographical information.

MOTODEV summit had some their mobile phones displayed in stalls. It was a great summit, fitting audiences from a newbie developer to entreprenuers.

Today i saw how GPS was in action. I used Nokia 6110 Navigator. It has in built map for bangalore. The GPS device takes sometime to get the coordinates from different satellites through line of sight. There is a Time to First Fix (TTFF) factor for each device. In the map software, I just did a search for my destination and the route was calculated. The pointer shows current position and moves according to our motion. Whenever i deviate from the suggested route the map software either warns me or recalculates the new route.

iPoke application caught my attention immediately, when apps where introduced in orkut.

You have to add the application to your profile first.

Now you can poke your friends now.

You smash birthday cakes, throw flowers, bowl googly or smash tomatoes etc

If your friend has this app in his profile, int he top 3 order, then his profile will show the pokes he received from you and others.

You can also view the pokes that you sent through your history, from My History tab in iPoke tab.

Orkut’s new feature is adding application’s to your profile.

You can add from many of the available applications from orkut.

I have added iPoke, Books iRead applications.

iRead applications is from facebook community and runs on orkut because of opensocial API.

iRead helps in finding friends, who have read / reading books of one’s interest.

iPoke is a simple app for smashing birthday cakes etc on your friends

After you have composed a message, press call button or green button.

The message will be sent if the to number is already filled or a prompt will appear to select a to number from your contacts.

Another shortcut, is to send mutimedia files via Bluetooth, IR or MMS just use the green button after opening the picture or video.

Hope You Like this shortcut ! Especially the teens who sent volumes of SMS lol

Please leave comments and other mobile users check the availability of this shortcut.

The concept is about using nanotechnology in mobile phones.

An awesome video demonstrating the Morph Concept can be found here
