• Corruption is Top-Down Phenomenon

• Corporate corruption always operates through public officials.

• Monster corporations are growth hungry & political parties are power hungry.

• Elections campaigns get big black money from such monster corporations. In return, the monster corporations dictate govt. policies in their favor.

• With favorable conditions, monster corporations have more financial & other resources (oil, gas, energy, etc…) than 80% of people.

• Economy gets driven by their selfish means. Prices rise, rich become richer & poor become poorer.

• This is how corporations rule and political officials become their agents

• As a result common people suffer due to lack of adequate resources and overall growth of the country is retarded.

• Moreover, corruption thrives even at bottom level because officers who should stop corruption are also corrupt. No one to watch them.

What makes the people of the country handicap?

• CVC (Central Vigilance Commission) is independent but has no power to prosecute.

• CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) has power but is not independent (has to wait for central govt.’s permission for prosecution).

Where is the missing link?

• Need an independent powerful body to remove corruption by investigating and prosecuting govt. officials impartially.

• Lokpal has only been advisory to govt. without any powers to investigate & prosecute govt. officials.

• 8 attempts (1968, 1971, 1977, 1985, 1989, 1996, 1998 & 2001) have been failed to in past 42 years for making Lokpal more powerful enough to be able to prosecute corrupt officials impartially.

The trigger point

• Global Financial Integrity (a NGO) pegged outflow of illegal money from India.

• $500 billion – $1400 billion trailed in Swiss banks. All Indian black money.

• Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee’s steps inadequate to combat this menace.

• Govt. has the necessary information & tools at its disposal to trace & prosecute the offenders. E.g. Swiss banks can provide details if Tax authority registers formal cases against offenders.

• But if names disclosed, entire UPA govt. would fall. There is lack of political will.

Enter Anna Hazare (Former Indian Army Havildar & activist of civil society).

• Anna: “Govt. (merely the trustee of people to safeguard public money) is failing its duty to people (masters in democracy).

• Anna writes letter to PM (Manmohan Singh) with intention of “fast unto death” if govt. didn’t accept his demand by April 5.

• Demand = “Include civil society members in the drafting of Lokpal Bill so as to allow to investigate & prosecute corrupt public servants impartially”.

• Anna’s declaration largely gets immediate acceptance in public (frustrated by corruption menace).

• Public turns angry as Govt. hesitates. People react on Media and the Internet.

• PM Manmohan Singh appealed to Hazare to call off his fast and engage in a discussion with subcommittee to frame the lokpal bill.

• Kapil Sibbal (Union Human Resource Development Minister) opposed and indicated that “outsiders” can’t draft legislation as it would be compromising parliaments’ sovereignty.

• Hazare: “If Govt. alone drafts the Bill, it will be Autocracy, not democracy”. And questioned govt.’s wisdom in calling civil society representatives like him as an “outsider”.

• SERVANTS CAN’T CALL MASTER AN OUTSIDER. IF SERVANTS DIDN’T WORK RIGHT, IT IS DUTY OF MASTER TO TEACH HIM THE RIGHT LESSON.

• 7th April, Govt. in Jittery, with concerns of Hazare’s deteriorating health.

• Number of Hazare’s Co-fasters rose to nearly 500.

• 8th April, Govt. agrees to accept all demands of Hazare. But Hazare waits till 9th April so that Govt. would have enough time to bring out gazette notification.

• Hazare breaks his fast but warns that he would do same again if Jan Lokpal Bill isn’t enacted by 15th August (symbolic deadline of 2nd freedom).

• But merely the Bill is not enough. Policies too should change accordingly.

• Therefore, next agenda is to push for decentralization. This will lead to participatory decision-making in Govt. policies to stop favoring monster corporations.

• Theoretically, Lokpal will have full potential to curb every corruption however it is believed it would wipe out 80% of corruption in the country.

• Visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Lokpal_Bill to know more (key features) about Lokpal Bill

You: Sir, can you please use head phones?

CP: No, I don’t have head phone (& still continues playing song loudly)

Having both state & behavior is an important criterion for a class to be considered as business object.

It may represent a person, place, thing or concept from business domain.

It should be re-usable.

Generally business objects are classified into:
Entity BO: Nouns from business.
Process BO: Work flow or business process.
Event BO: Causes / caused by action in system. Represents an event.

BOs provide common terminology & ideas that can be shared across organization by technical & non-technical people alike.

They are very intuitive & should make sense to entire organization.

Have ability to evolve with organizational changes through modification / specialization.

BOs should have well defined interfaces so as to hide low-level implementation.

Should have clear & cohesive set of functionality.

XSL is Style Sheet for XML
On the other other hand,
XML does not use predefined tags (we can use any tag-names we like), and therefore the meaning of each tag is not well understood.
A <table> tag could mean an HTML table, a piece of furniture, or something else – and a browser does not know how to display it.

XSL describes how the XML document should be displayed!

You will need:
A good XML editor (even a notepad can do). I used XML Copy Editor 1.2.0.2
A browser. (I used Mozilla Fire Fox 3.0.8).

Execute the program
Just open the country.xml in your browser.

Moreover
Above is a very simple output.
You can further beautify your output by modifying your country.xsl
Just create another c:\beautifiedcountry.xsl
And replace the name from “country.xsl” to “beautifiedcountry.xsl” in your country.xml
And open the XML to see the difference.

Copy this c:\beautifiedcountry.xsl

All you need is:
1. Eclipse
2. JDK1.5
3. junit.jar (Download from www.junit.org)

In this program, usage of JUnit is demonstrated in order to test 2 components, namely:
1. Dice.java
2. DiceFactory.java

Test requirement for every new Dice created:
1. Playing a dice every time should get any number between (including) 1 to 6
2. A dice has 6 sides & no two sides should hold the same number.
3. Dice should be unbiased. In an unbiased dice, the sum of 2 opposite side numbers is always 7.
e.g. If back side is 6 then front side has to be 1.

Create Java project in eclipse.
NOTE: Make sure junit.jar is set in your classpath.

Execute the program
Wen you are done building project, right click on project.
Project –> Run As –> JUnitTest
There is no main method here.
That’s the whole idea. We have JUnit test methods instead.

This SCI-FI movie that talks about AI (Artificial Intelligence) taking over humans in far future, is the beautiful code that could be understood only in its metaphorical terms with a broader perspective.  Put aside your urge for inclination towards all dramatic stunts & special effects for a moment & try to think out of the box. Let’s first assume these metaphors to see if it makes some sense.

Metaphors

Architect: You who constantly try to achieve perfection.

Matrix: Your Mind which has projection that is full of illusions where nothing is real.

AI: Your intellect. Agents represent the AI in matrix.

Humans: Your Heart (not in literal sense) which is full of emotions & qualities such as devotion, love, faith, belief & sacrifice that are beyond the logic & that even AI (who things of himself as superior) lacks. That’s the reason why Architect can’t see past the choices he makes. And that’s why the need to see beyond.

Frustrated by failures, Architect develops a vision (Oracle) that appreciates human qualities & hence sees beyond in order to achieve perfection.

Zion: Human body (collection of life).

Neo: Your Self. Whoever cares about the truth becomes the chosen one. Rest of all are just some or the other than Neo. Only chosen one seeks the answer.

The One: The Consciousness. Self eventually realizes it.

Smith: Your self: The Ego (mirror of the Self). He wants to get out of Matrix. Smith itself is a construct of Matrix & how can he be free from it? But he dislikes this compulsion. This clearly tells that he is ignorant. Being ignorant he’s directionless & therefore always malfunctions. He must disappear.

Ignorance: The real anomaly that is inherent into the Matrix program (Mind) which needs to be corrected.

Both (Neo & Smith) want to be free. That is the connection that drives them. But there is a difference. Because of Smith’s definition of freedom being different from that of Neo, Smith wants to be free from any kind of Compulsion. On the other hand, Neo doesn’t care about that. He wants freedom from the question that drives him crazy. He believes that only by finding the answer he can be free.

What question?
What is truth? It’s the question. Neo is restless & seeks the only thing throughout.

Another difference between Neo & Smith: Neo is guided by Oracle’s advice. As if Self guided by the Vision. Smith on the other hand, tries to forcefully steal the Vision (eyes of oracle).

Another difference: Smith is not ready to give himself up even though he wishes to see beyond. Neo, in the end is prepared to even give himself up.

Fear is another thing that makes them distinct. Neo is not afraid. Smith is afraid. Both seek freedom but only chosen one becomes the worthy of ultimate purpose.

What purpose?
Purpose is to achieve eternal happiness. In the end, Neo achieves Nirvana (the ultimate peace, the real happiness). The golden code that Neo sees is the enlightenment that he attains. He is physically blind but is still able to see. That’s because of his “inner eyes”. Truth is seen only with inner eyes. And that too only when he reaches the level where he is ready to let go of his Love. Love, again a rare highest quality in front of which (for Neo) nothing else matters. Remember Neo told Ramakandra at the train station that he would give up everything for his love?

Earlier versions of Neo hadn’t developed this kind of specific Love. That’s why re-incarnations.

Merovingian: (one of the earlier ones) is kind of characterless departed one. Very powerful yet immoral. The one who perhaps cared for neither Trinity (specific love) nor the people (generic love). And therefore he gets downgraded.

Oracle, while examining Neo in her first meeting, is happy to see that Neo’s in love. And she believes that this love would take him to highest point against all odds, (odds as in the ultimate defence system of machine city). This gives her a hope that he is really worthy of walking on the path. The path, that leads to the truth.

And what is truth?
Truth is the (Pure) Consciousness, THE ONE that is finally realized when calmed down everything else. When wars end between mind, body, heart & intellect so that they start to learn to live in harmony: When Ego is beaten down & disappeared: When highest qualities such as love are also sacrificed & left behind on the quest of truth: When one who has sacrificed anything & everything & yet stands: That is the state of perfection where Neo achieves Nirvana, the ultimate peace, the eternal real happiness. This is the golden code of the One. And this realization is the truth by attaining which Neo (Now the One) attains the real freedom.

Why war?
War between Matrix & Zion is like conflicts between intellect & emotions. The cause is ignorance which was the real anomaly. Except for the consciousness, nothing else is perfect. Neither mind nor body neither intelligence nor heart. As long as ignorance (anomaly) lies in the Mind (Matrix), there is a constant conflict (war) between heart (humans) & intellect (agents). And Ego (the victim of ignorance) is so pervaded (duplicate Smiths) in the mind that it causes the ultimate mental block which is not acceptable to you (Architect). And as you stand helpless, now the real problem is Ego.

Self comes to the rescue. But the deal is first to calm down emotions & intellect. Thank (machine) God for agreeing for “peace” & relying on the Self to solve the matter.

The ultimate fight between the Ego & the Self within the mind (Matrix)
Self (though at times is weak) is not giving up till the time when Ego realizes one truth that “Everything that has beginning has an end.” Even he was constructed in mind & therefore even he has to die. Smith is afraid of death. Self is not because all left of him is Self. This is the time when Neo reckons that Ego is ready to die & he then “chooses” to give up the fight. As he gives up, Smith childishly kills Neo in Matrix. As he kills Neo, this serves the purpose of Smith. And Smith object is no more required therefore deleted as per the Matrix rules.

So you see! Matrix is nothing but about the journey of Self to unite with the pure Consciousness.

When the Matrix Revolutions is ended, a careful viewer must have noticed a chanting of mantra:
“ASATO MAA SAT GAMAYA,
TAMASO MAA JYOTIRGAMAYA,
MRITYOMAA AMRUTAM GAMAYA”.

This shloka is originally from one of the ancient & oldest Indian sacred scripture which means:

Lead me from the asat (unreal) to the sat (real).
Lead me from darkness to light.
Lead me from death to immortality.

(Brhadaranyaka Upanishad – I.iii.28)

Refer to this site for hearing the mantra.

If you already know how to create a Java Project in Eclipse then here’s the project structure.
Make sure following JAR files fall into your Build Path.

Project Structure
C:\workspace\HelloSpringIOC
|   .classpath
|   .project
|
+—bin
|       HelloSpringIoC.class
|       MyBeansInClassPathHere.xml
|       OtherPojo.class
|       SpecialPojo.class
|
+—lib
|       commons-logging-api-1.1.jar
|       spring-beans-2.0-m1.jar
|       spring-context-2.0-m1.jar
|       spring-core-2.0-m1.jar
|
\—src
HelloSpringIoC.java
MyBeansInClassPathHere.xml
OtherPojo.java
SpecialPojo.java

Make sure following two files exist in your C:\> drive.
1. C:\config\MyOtherBeansHere.xml
2. C:\config\MySpecialBeansHere.xml

Notice MyBeansInClassPathHere.xml highlighted in yellow.
It’s into the class path being in “src” folder.
You will need ClassPathXmlApplicationContext for loading this configuration file.
See method: public void usingClassPathXmlApplicationContext(String myBeanResource)

Run HelloSpringIoc as Java Application once you have created following files.

SpecialPojo.java
public class SpecialPojo {

private String name;

public SpecialPojo() {

}

public String getName() {
return name;
}

public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}

}

OtherPojo.java
public class OtherPojo {

private String name;

public OtherPojo() {

}

public String getName() {
return name;
}

public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;

SETUP YOUR ENVIRONMENT FIRST.

Assuming that you have:
C:\axis-1_4
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5
C:\jdk5\lib;

Make sure your AXIS has following JAR files:
C:\axis-1_4\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib>dir /b
activation.jar
axis-ant.jar
axis.jar
commons-discovery-0.2.jar
commons-logging-1.0.4.jar
jaxrpc.jar
log4j-1.2.8.jar
mail.jar
saaj.jar
wsdl4j-1.5.1.jar

If above highlighted files are missing, then download them separately.
And copy them in C:\axis-1_4\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib
NOTE: mail.jar or mailapi.jar should be fine.

set TOMCAT_HOME=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5

AXIS enable your Tomcat:
Copy “C:\axis-1_4\webapps\axis” folder in %TOMCAT_HOME%\webapps
AXIS itself is an Apache application.
By copying this folder you deploy the AXIS application on Tomcat.
Doing this makes your Tomcat behave like a “Java Web Service” Server.

Verify AXIS Server on Tomcat
Start your Tomcat Server & hit following URL on browser.

http://localhost:8080/axis

You should get Hello! Welcome to Apache-Axis web page.
Click on List to see the list of web services deployed currently.

Set classpath
You need to bring those JAR files in your classpath too.
If not, then will give compilation errors on your command prompt when you try to compile/generate code.
Hence copy all these JAR files to C:\axis-1_4\lib
And set the classpath
C:\>set classpath
classpath=.;c:\jdk5\lib;C:\axis-1_4\lib\axis.jar;C:\axis-1_4\lib\axis-ant.jar;C:
\axis-1_4\lib\commons-discovery-0.2.jar;c:\axis-1_4\lib

YOUR ENVIRONMENT IS NOW SET.
BRACE UP TO WRITE, DEPLOY & EXECUTE THE WEB-SERVICE.

Write your Java Interface
package myapp;

public interface Hello {

public String sayHello(String name);

}

Write your Java Interface Implementation
package myapp;

public class HelloImpl {

public String sayHello(String name) {
return “Hello ” + name;
}

}

So that:
C:\practice\myapp\Hello.java
C:\practice\myapp\HelloImpl.java

Compile interfaces & implementation code before generating WSDL
C:\practice>javac myapp\Hello.java -d .
C:\practice>javac myapp\HelloImpl.java -d .

Generate WSDL
C:\practice>java org.apache.axis.wsdl.Java2WSDL -o hello.wsdl -l”http://localhost:8080/axis/services/hello” -n urn:hello -p”hello” urn:hello myapp.Hello
Notice that hello.wsdl got generated.

Generate glue code
C:\practice>java org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java -o . -d Session -s -p myapp.ws hello.wsdl
So that:
C:\practice\myapp\ws>dir /b
deploy.wsdd
Hello.java
HelloService.java
HelloServiceLocator.java
HelloSoapBindingImpl.java
HelloSoapBindingStub.java
undeploy.wsdd

Time to modify the glue code a bit
Notice “HelloSoapBindingImpl.java“.
It is the implementation that is automatically generated.
But you already have written your own implementation which is: HelloImpl.java
So, call your Impl method in generated Impl method,
Don’t forget to copy your HelloImpl.java in location C:\practice\myapp\ws\
And change its package form myapp to myapp.ws because now it’s been moved there.

/**
* HelloSoapBindingImpl.java
*
* This file was auto-generated from WSDL
* by the Apache Axis 1.4 Apr 22, 2006 (06:55:48 PDT) WSDL2Java emitter.
*/

package myapp.ws;

public class HelloSoapBindingImpl implements myapp.ws.Hello{
public java.lang.String sayHello(java.lang.String in0) throws java.rmi.RemoteException {
System.out.println(“remote service invoked!”);
HelloImpl h = new HelloImpl();
return h.sayHello(in0);
}

}

Compile the glue code
C:\practice>javac myapp\ws\*.java
May show some warnings but that should be fine.

Package into JAR
C:\practice>jar cvf hello.jar myapp/*.class myapp/ws/*.class
Move hello.jar
C:\practice>move hello.jar “c:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib
Start Tomcat server before deploying

Deploy the service
C:\practice>java org.apache.axis.client.AdminClient myapp\ws\deploy.wsdd

Verify deployed service
Re-Start your Tomcat Server & hit following URL on browser.

http://localhost:8080/axis

You should get Hello! Welcome to Apache-Axis web page.
Click on List to see the list of web services deployed currently containing your hello service.

Write the Client
package myapp.client;

public class HelloServiceClient {
public static void main(String[] args){
try {
//Get the service.
myapp.ws.HelloService service = new myapp.ws.HelloServiceLocator();

// Get the stub.
myapp.ws.Hello hello = service.gethello();

// Make the call.
System.out.println(hello.sayHello(“some name”));
}
catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

Compile the client
javac myapp\*.java -d .

Execute the client
C:\practice>java myapp.client.HelloServiceClient

Output should be:
Hello some name
