Removal of malware files

I’ve removed the offending files. Google now sees the web site it as clean again. I’ll try and keep an eye on it. It may take a few days for some the of the other malware crawlers to see it as clean. If you see Google flag it up again drop me a line and I’ll purge it again. This is likely to be an on going battle.

Web Site Hack

It looks like someone has managed a javascript injection attack on my web site. Some people have received warnings telling them dominicgiles.com is a malicious attack site. Apologies for this. I’ll start by attempting to reload as much content as I can in the hope of purging the java script. If this doesn’t work I’ll go for a complete purge.

I’d rather not be doing this with my spare time but thats the nature of the web at present. Stick with me.

New build of DB Time Monitor

I’ve released a new build of DB Time Monitor with some stability fixes in it. The client will now reconnect to a database once it becomes available and display messages about its state when it can’t. I’ve also included a dynamic legend to hopefully make it easier to figure out whats going on. You can download it from the usual place, here.

Changing java libraries and increasing the heap size used by swingbench

I’ve been asked a couple of times recently about how to change the infrastructure libraries i.e. the Oracle jdbc driver. I try to always ship the latest jdbc/ons/ucp libraries but its possible that Oracle may realease a patch set whilst I’m working on something else. Its also possible people may want to investigate a bug or performance problem by trying out a selection of drivers. To change the jar files all that is needed is to move the old version out of the lib directory and copy the new one in, for example

$> cd swingbench$> mv lib/ojdbc6.jar ~/backup/ojdbc6.jar$> cp ~/newjdbc/ojcbc6.jar lib

Don’t try and keep multiple versions of the same driver in the lib directory. It can lead to unexpected results. When swingbench starts it looks in the lib directory for all the libraries (contained in the jar files) to use.

If you need to increase the amount of memory used by swingbench you need to edit a file called launcher.xml in the launcher directory. You might need to do this if you are planning to run with many thousands of threads. You need to changed the default value (1024m) to a larger one. For example
