Beautiful - Malayalam movie

Beautiful - New movie by Anoop Menon
I came to know about this movie from a fb share, one song "Mazhaneer Thullikal" is shared; at the very first watch itself, the song, lyrics and cinematography strikes me. 
A 20 times i heard the song "Mazhaneer thullikal" from this new movie so far. That forces me to blog about this movie a bit.


Song - Mazhaneer Thillikal

Song: Moovanthiyay


The movie is directed by one of the malayalam director veteran V.K Prakash
Story and lyrics by Anoop himself, and music by Ratheesh Vegha; an upcoming music director. He proved his talent in "Cocktail" movie; his first movie as music director 
Singer: Unni Menon
Cast: Jayasurya, Anoop Menon, Meghna Raj, Aparna, Parvathy Nair, Jayan, Nandu, Thesni Khan, Kishore
Here is the official website for more information - http://www.beautifulthemovie.in/

Lastly my friend Lloyd Chandran had a question after seeing the preview. Is this a remake of "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly"
Even if it is like Anoop's last movie "Cocktail" I won't be surprised. He has got talent. I always feel, this guys picks the right talent always.

JavaFX 2.0 in Chrome

I was trying out the new Ensemble sample apps of JavaFX 2.0 in my Google chrome browser running on a 64bit windows 7. I soon realized that the app is not loading complaining that i don't have a FX 2.0 runtime. In fact i do have a SDK installed running fine. Then i tried downloading a 64 bit Fx 2.0 runtime from FX Runtime download; even that did'nt.
How ever everything thing seems to be perfect, where in my browser was showing i have the required JRE, and I have installed the FX runtime.
Finally i decided to went for a shot of downloading 32bit FX runtime setup. Voila that did worked, after installation I was able to see the app loading fine.
So folks out there facing issue with 64bit runtime, go ahead and install the 32 bit one which will fix the issue.

Getting VM name and hostname from JBoss JMX

JBoss JMX exposes all information about the server as MBean's.
Here is a simple way if you need get the JVM name and the host name in your application.
For getting the JVM name 
ServerConfigImplMBean serverConfigMbean = 
MBeanProxyExt.create( ServerConfigImplMBean.class,
“jboss.system:type=ServerConfig”, 
MBeanServerLocator.locateJBoss()); 

serverConfigMbean. getServerName(); 

For getting the Host name 
ServerInfoMBean serverInfoMbean = 
MBeanProxyExt.create( ServerInfoMBean.class, 
“jboss.system:type=ServerInfo”, 
MBeanServerLocator.locateJBoss());  

serverInfoMbean.getHostName(); 

From the JMX Browser we can get the complete list of Server level exposed MBeans under "jboss.system"
