Are they kidding me? You need to manually change source code if certain things are different in development than production? Well that statement was a bit alarmist I know; I see that they have a few techniques to prepare the application for development, but 2 out of the 4 in the "Techniques for Updating URLs in Web Service Controls" section involve changing source when doing a production build. I have to wonder if anyone does that? See: Preparing the Application for Deployment Also see: the "Configure Back-end Access" section in What to Expect When Promoting a WebLogic Platform Application to Production

I've tried a few Inventory programs out, but haven't settled on one. One I've tried is OCS Inventory; it's easy to setup, it looks nice, and it grabs a lot of interesting information. I like the information it grabs, but I want to be able to edit and change and move stuff around, I want to be able to add my extra computer equipment that is laying around, I want to put in warranty information, and be notified when they expire. Also I can't find any opensource inventory programs based on Java and being a Java developer I prefer them, because if there is a problem, there is at least a chance that I can fix it.

An Inventory program for my LAN computers I want something to inventory my LAN. Its a small LAN, just a few computers and some spare parts. Maybe include some warranty information, maybe suggestions about what I could add or not add to the existing computers. Say a computer has a free memory slot and say I have that kind of spare ram in a box somewhere, maybe the program would suggest I use the spare ram. There seem to be two types of inventory projects: One that is geared towards automation, a central server and client programs installed on client computers. The client uses scripts or a program to grab information from the client computer. The second relies on a human to enter the data. I didn't search the general inventory (ie: like quicken) or ERP products.
