nginx install godday cert

again on same weekend looks like the cert on his dev site expired and the rest api tests were failing to curl due to cert issue so he gave me the cert files that he got from godday and asked to install it. This took 5 min but it was cool. What was complex was godday would give you a cert and an intermediate cert but nginx would only accept one file. so the way you do is

cat your_godday.crt> your_final_chained.crt
cat gd_bundle.crt>>your_final_chained.crt

thats it you got your chained cert and all you need to do is specify this in nginx

    ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/xxx/your_final_chained.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/xxx/your_cert.key;



Looks like this is cert expiry week, even our code signing cert is expiring this weekend so we would sign our java applet jars again and deploy a hotpatch this weekend, will update that also in the post.

Spring 3.2 quartz 2.1 Jobs added with no trigger must be durable.

I am trying to enable HA on nodes and in that process I found that in a two test node setup a job that has a frequency of 10 sec was running into deadlock. So I tried upgrading from Quartz 1.8 to 2.1 by following the migration guide but I ran into an exception that says "Jobs added with no trigger must be durable.". After looking into spring and Quartz code I figured out that now Quartz is more strict and earlier the scheduler.addJob had a replace parameter which if passed to true would skip the durable check, in latest quartz this is fixed but spring hasnt caught up to this. So what do you do, well I jsut inherited the factory and set durability to true and use that public class DurableJobDetailFactoryBean extends JobDetailFactoryBean {     public DurableJobDetailFactoryBean() {         setDurability(true);     } } and used this instead of JobDetailFactoryBean in the spring bean definition     <bean i...

Jersey streaming binary data

In the previous post I showed how you can post binary data to a jersey REST api. You can also use Jersey to serve files, although its better done by apache or nginx but sometimes you might want to serve thumbnails stored in a database out of a service and put varnish in front of the REST api to cache the thumbnails. This is just a demonstration of using jersey to serve binary data in streaming fashion. @Path("/download-service") public class DownaloadService extends SecureRestService { private static final AppLogger logger = AppLogger.getLogger(DownaloadService.class); @POST @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_OCTET_STREAM) public StreamingOutput getThumbnail( @FormParam("securityKey") final String securityKey, @FormParam("guid") final String guid) throws JSONException { return new StreamingOutput() { @Override public void write(OutputStream out) throws IOException { try { if (!isAuthorized(securityKey)) { response.sendErro...
