Sun JDK Java 6 to OpenJDK Java 7 recompilation on Ubuntu 12.04 and movement to Jetty 9.x

Recently I took up a task of moving our old project from Sun Java 6 to Open Java 7.
As such our project was using Spring, Hibernate, GWT and many more libraries.

There was a lots of fingers crossed when we took up this task, as we did not know the kind of impact it can lead to varying from refactoring to performance.

Kind of refactoring attempt which it took:


  • To begin with we need to do a change in our DataSource implementation as javax.sql.CommonDataSource has added a new method getParentLogger() . So we had to override that method in our class definition. 
          import java.util.logging.*;

          public Logger getParentLogger() {
                    return null;
          }
  • org.apache.commons StringUtils.join now takes an iterator then list. So we need to pass List.listIterator over there.
          StringUtils.join(List.iterator(),..)
  • There were project where maven-war plugin was not specified, that was leading us to problems. A specific pom entry was made to project to point to 2.3.2 version of the plugin.
  • The deb package version should not have any character only numerics and dots are allowed.
  • Jetty 9.x is official release for Java 7. So moving to Jetty 9.x is advised. ChangeLog for Jetty 9.x is available here. The way to start jetty have changed slightly. Java system property for port is not longer supported. Hence, you need to do 
          java -jar start.jar -jetty.port=8080 .

  • Https calls might fail with exception :

       Caused by: java.security.ProviderException: sun.security.pkcs11.wrapper.PKCS11Exception:       CKR_DOMAIN_PARAMS_INVALID

This is a bug with opnjdk. Refer to the following links to fix this:



Will update this thread with performance issues as I discover more.

Why India Hasn’t Built Its GPT Moment (Yet)

India has the world’s third-largest startup ecosystem, a thriving developer base, and a mobile-first population larger than the US and Europe combined. Yet, no GPT-4. No DeepMind. No Amazon-style platform. Why? Innovation Isn’t Accidental—It’s Engineered The Zerodha Daily Brief recently asked why India hasn’t built a global product company like Apple. The key argument: India isn’t building for the world. It’s solving for local constraints, scale, and affordability—but global scale requires deep IP, design, and tech differentiation. It’s not just about software, it’s about systems thinking. More importantly, it answers the question: Why do countries innovate? The answer isn’t just genius or ambition—it’s incentives and ecosystems. The U.S. Defense Department, for example, accounted for nearly 70% of federal R&D funding during the Cold War. China has pumped billions into semiconductors and AI with long-term national alignment. These aren’t short-term bets—they are strategic, delibe...
