WebLogic 8.1 vs Admin Password

In WebLogic 8.1, if you change the administrator's password from the console, the server will fail to start when you next restart it.  The error message is:

<BEA-090402> <Authentication denied: Boot identity not valid; The user name and/or password from the boot identity file (boot.properties) is not valid. The boot identity may have been changed since the boot identity file was created. Please edit and update the boot identity file with the proper values of username and password. The first time the updated boot identity file is used to start the server, these new values are encrypted.>

The solution proposed in the error message works.

Visio: Office vs Visual Studio

Files written using Visio 2003 (from Office 2003) cannot be read from the Enterprise Architect version of Visio that comes with Visual Studio 2003.  The latter appears to be compatible with Visio 2002, so if you save files in that format, all is well.

Crude Code Line Counting

I used the following UNIX pipe to perform crude code line counting:

find . -name '*.java' -not -wholename '*/generated/*' -exec cat {} \; |
sed -e '/^[ \t]*$/d' |
wc -l

Every non-blank line is counted.

BCEL and ASM

The BCEL project (for Java bytecode manipulation) seems to be inactive.  The site suggests looking at ObjectWeb's ASM project.  ASM has nice Eclipse plug-in.
