Netbeans performance isues surfaced again

Last week, after I upgraded to the Netbeans 7.0 Beta, scanning issues, coupled with spontaneous freezes, cropped up again. I initially thought I was running into the same heap size issue as described in one of my earlier posts. After some research, it turns out the issue was related to garbage collection this time.

http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqScanningAndIndexingPerformanceHints#Use_different_Garbage_Collector_strategy

We've had several reports from users that choosing 'Concurrent Mark And Sweep' garbage collector improves scanning performance. This may or may not make a difference on your system. The problem is that people use different hardware, different versions of JDK and they have different default GC algorithm chosen by their JVM.

I added the required flags to my netbeans.conf file and performance improved to a point where it is now much better than it was previously.

netbeans_default_options="-J-client -J-Xss2m -J-Xms32m -J-Xmx3096m -J-XX:PermSize=32m -J-XX:MaxPermSize=1024m -J-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true -J-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -J-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -J-XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -J-XX:+CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled"

My current configuration: 

Intel(R) Xeon(R) Quad Core CPU @ 2.80GHz 
6G Memory
Multiple PHP projects containing a total of ~110,000 files.

java version "1.6.0_0"

Securing Symfony2 REST services with FOSOAuthServerBundle

Overview In my previous article, I wrote about setting up a Symfony2 REST service using FOSRestBundle. However, this REST service was behind a firewall protected by a generic form_login provider. Not really ideal if you wish to open your REST API to other applications. So in this article, I will try to explain how to set up FOSOAuthServerBundle to protect your REST API methods using OAuth2. Before we start getting into the gritty details, it is a good idea to have a look at the official OAuth2 documentation . Let's begin... FOSOAuthServerBundle Installation You have to install v1.1.0 of FOSOAuthServerBundle if you are using Symfony 2.0.x. If not, see the docs . First, add the following entries to your deps file: [FOSOAuthServerBundle] git=git://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/FOSOAuthServerBundle.git target=bundles/FOS/OAuthServerBundle version=origin/1.1.x [oauth2-php] git=git://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/oauth2-php.git Run the vendors script to install these...

Adding post-login logic to FOSUserBundle

Having finally figured out how to use FOSUserBundle in my project, I decided to keep track of all logins next. The implementation turned out to be a breeze thanks to Symfony2's security listener mechanism. As usual, the first step is to create a MongoDB document for this purpose. This is a very simple document that contains a user's id, session id, IP address, and login date. src/Acme/UserBundle/Document/LoginHistory.php namespace Acme\UserBundle\Document; class LoginHistory { protected $id; protected $userId; protected $sessionId; protected $ip; protected $createdAt; /** * Get id * * @return custom_id $id */ public function getId() { return $this->id; } /** * Set userId * * @param int $userId */ public function setUserId($userId) { $this->userId = $userId; } /** * Get userId * * @return int $userId */ public function getUserId...

Setting up a Symfony2 REST service with FOSRestBundle

Installation First thing is to download and setup the FOSRestBundle. If you are running Symfony 2.0.x, get the FOSRestBundle version 0.6, otherwise, download the code in the master branch. The FOSRestBundle depends on the JMSSerializerBundle so the following instructions are going to include some extra information for setting up this bundle to complete our REST service. First thing is to install our dependencies. Add the following to your deps file: [metadata] git=http://github.com/schmittjoh/metadata.git version=1.1.0 [JMSSerializerBundle] git=git://github.com/schmittjoh/JMSSerializerBundle.git target=bundles/JMS/SerializerBundle [FOSRest] git=git://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/FOSRest.git target=fos/FOS/Rest [FOSRestBundle] git=git://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/FOSRestBundle.git target=bundles/FOS/RestBundle version=origin/0.6 Run the vendors script to install these bundles: php bin/vendors install Next, update your app/autoload.php file...
