RealPlayer on Feisty

Today I try to open ptvthai.com[ the website that live broadcast rally against "council for national security" from sanamluang bangkok, uhh no politic here, Pls don't censor me ha ha ]. It needs realplayer plugin for firefox but "Plugin Finder Service" can't install it automatically.
RealPlayer isn't on feisty repos yet for now and i can't wait. So to install i download RealPlayer10GOLD.bin, add execute permission and install it in $HOME/app/RealPlayer[ without sudo privileges ]. 
pnix@pnix-a7n:~/progdl$ wget  http://forms.real.com/real/player/download.html?f=unix/RealPlayer10GOLD.bin
--23:26:37--  http://forms.real.com/real/player/download.html?f=unix/RealPlayer10GOLD.bin
           => `download.html?f=unix%2FRealPlayer10GOLD.bin'

Done.

pnix@pnix-a7n:~/progdl$
Then I try again, still not work, when open the site I've got "Could not find an appropriate hxplay/realplay in the system path to use as an embedded player". Firefox has plugins loaded[ check by about:plugins ] and links in $HOME/.mozilla/plugins look ok.
pnix@pnix-a7n:~/progdl$ ls -l ~/.mozilla/plugins/
total 6892
-rw-r--r-- 1 pnix pnix     856 2006-12-15 13:51 flashplayer.xpt
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pnix pnix 7040080 2006-12-15 13:51 libflashplayer.so

pnix@pnix-a7n:~/progdl$

I'm not sure why may be because I don't install it with sudo privileges. Anyway it complains about path to realplay. Just try add link realplay in $HOME/bin[ that we have path to ] then it works. 
pnix@pnix-a7n:~$ cd bin
pnix@pnix-a7n:~/bin$ ln -s ~/app/RealPlayer/realplay realplay

Too many open files

Last week tomcat log file report many error about "Too many open files" when it has high traffic. Some in catalina_log say 2007-04-07 16:13:40 HttpProcessor[80][272] Starting background thread 2007-04-07 16:13:40 HttpConnector[80] accept: java.net.SocketException: Too many open files and here is from localhost_log 2007-04-07 16:13:40 StandardWrapperValve[myservlet]: Servlet.service() for servlet myservlet threw exception java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/log/mylog_070407.log (Too many open files) This is because too many file descriptors're opened by tomcat. File descriptor can be limited in both system level and shell level. To check maximum number of fd in system type 'cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max'. In my case it is 65536(someone said it should set to 200000). Tomcat error when try to open socket number 272 so I think 65536 is ok for me for now. Anyway if u want to set it add 'fs.file-max = 200000' to /etc/sysctl.conf pnix@pnix-a7:~$ cat /proc/sys/fs/fil...

using Class.getResource() load resource file in Eclipse

There are many ways to load resource file in java app. What sun recommended is using Class.getResource(" resource_name ") or Class.getResourceAsStream(" resource_name ") then you will get URL and InputStream respectively. If resource_name is specified without "/", it will be prepend with Class package. So resource file must be in same place[folder structure] as the Class. What I love to do is call getResource() with "/" and put resource file at the root of package. This way i can have separate resource folder. below is in Eclipse, 1. From Package explorer right click src folder->click import 2. In import dialog, Choose General->File System ->next 3. from directory:->Browse to your resource folder. 4. to folder:-> I add "resource" as a folder name under src folder. then click "Finish". In the code, load resource with this.getClass().getResource("/resource/buttons1.png") or this.getClass().getResourceAs...
