Adding META tag to your blogger page layout

When I wanted to submit my blog for Google AdSense, I had to first confirm the ownership to my blog. It can be proved in two ways: either by adding a META tag in the HEAD section or by adding a HTML file in the site. Since I have my blog in the blogger.com, the easiest way for me to confirm my ownership is to add a META tag in my blog layout.

It is very easy to add this tag. Follow these steps.
  1. Login to your blogger account
  2. Click on Layout and then Edit HTML
  3. Search for the following phrase: all-head-content. This is the line that tells the blogger engine as to what needs to be included in the HEAD tag.
  4. Just before this line, not just before all-head-content, but before the line, include your meta tag. Most likely you will be including a META tag that looks like:
    <meta name='verify-v1' content="Some base64 encoded string"/>
  5. Save your changes and view your blog and confirm that your new META tag appears on the header.
Remember that though you specify name and content, when when blogger serves the page it will appear as content and name. Don't get confused. Another common issue is make sure this META tag appears as the first tag in the HEAD section as the Google doesn't recognize if it appears later in the HEAD section.

The mysterious ORA-03111 error

Recently one of the applications that I developed started throwing exceptions, that had the following message: SQL state [72000]; error code [1013]; ORA-03111: break received on communication channel When I googled around, I couldn't come across anything useful. Sadly enough most of the sites just showed the documentation for that error, without any explanation from anyone experiencing that issues. So here you go, with the best possible explanation that I could come up with. My application sets two things on the connection that is throwing this exception: It sets the fetchSize to be 2500 rows It sets the query timeout to be 10 seconds The database server and the application are separated over a long latency network (actually there is a NetEm box that emulates the long latency between these two boxes) which has a latency characteristic of 50+/-5 milliseconds. This is the whole setup. It is important to understand how the timeout is handled by the Oracle client (in my case JDBC clien

Note on allocationSize parameter of @SequenceGenerator while using JPA

I ran into what I thought as an issue while I was using the sequence ID generation strategy in JPA. The JPA provider I am using is Hibernate. I think sharing my experience will save someone some time. To use a sequence (For e.g. Oracle sequence) to generate values and assign them to the ID field of your persistence object, you will following something like this: @Id @Column(name = "ITEM_ID") @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.SEQUENCE, generator="ItemIdSeqGenerator") @SequenceGenerator(name="ItemIdSeqGenerator", sequenceName="ITEM_ID_SEQ", allocationSize=1) private long itemId; This means the following things: The @Id annotation says that the field itemId is a primary key. The @Column annotation says that the corresponding column in the database is ITEM_ID. The @GeneratedValue says that the value that needs to be populated in the itemId should be generated, while that object is persisted. The strategy to generate the value is to

A note on Java's Calendar set() method

Remember that the Calendar's internal fields include year, month, date, hour, minutes, seconds, milliseconds and time zone. Whenever you are calling a set() method with multiple fields, like set(year, month, date), it will not affect the rest of the fields. Remember that there is no set() method with multiple fields available to set the milliseconds. If you would like to set the milliseconds, you must use set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, value). Likewise, if you are planning to set all the fields, its a good idea to reset all the fields using clear() method. This will clear milliseconds as well. Most of the times, millisecond field may not be of interest to you. But if you are going to use the UTC milliseconds, by calling getTimeInMillis(), then make sure you set the right values for milliseconds as well.
