citrix thin client performance issue - performance

I'm having following problem:
We, in our company, are working in a mixed environment. Thin clients (HP-T520) and laptops. Our users connect to a citrix server to go onto the internet. We use a web application for our main business (which we navigate to trough citrix).
We notice a remarkable performance issue on the thin clients. The laptops are not facing this performance issue.
Someone can help me finding the root cause of this issue? I presume there will be some local resources used on the portable which are not available on the thin client, but I do not have a clue where to look or log this.
Thanks in advance!

We managed to resolve the issue. The Thin Clients had Citrix version 4.1 installed. This version doesn't have gfx render. We upgraded to version 4.5, this resolved the issue since it uses hardware acceleration.

virtual-machine (vm image) of java development environment with an app server and database

I am looking for a free downloadable vmware image with java development environment; an app server and database is installed/set up. I will be using it for personal educational purpose. It would be nice, if I get some running hello world examples in different latest java technologies (Spring, hibernate, JSF). I prefer guest OS as windows.
Greatly appreciate if someone can send a link to download this. Thanks
Oracle website gives similar to what I was looking. Not sure, if I can expect a windows image.

Debugging on Windows Phone 7 emulator causes internet connectivity to be lost

I am currently trying to develop a Windows Phone 7 app and corresponding REST Web API project. I have been encountering problems with the emulator talking to the API. After testing with JQuery and Fiddler I came to find that the emulator is losing internet connectivity with my system.
I am wondering if anyone else has seen this issue and can recommend something. At this moment the only fix I have been able to find is to restart my entire machine which is not something that makes development either fun or efficient. If anyone can recommend anything I would greatly appreciate it.
Fiddler creates a proxy when running. Gotta reset the Internet Options of the host machine and it usually goes back to working

web app deployed on jboss suddenly extremely slow

I have a Web App deployed on JBoss App Server 7.0.2 on Windows XP
It had been running fine for the past 6 months then suddenly, it is painfully slow when launching in Internet Explorer 7
The Web App uses java, facelets, and hibernate. Any suggestions how I can begin to locate the problem? I don't know where I should start.
Start by looking at memory.
Download Visual VM 1.3.3, install all the plugins, and attach it to your JBOSS PID. It'll show you all generations of the heap, CPU, threads, which objects consume the most memory, etc.
Information and insight are what you need. Anything without data is merely a guess.
The other question that needs asking: what "suddenly" changed? I'd start asking about changes on that server: software upgrades, other apps installed, patches, everything.
You should also be looking at dependencies. What about the database server logs?

Cloud Compiling Applications with Visual Studio

How would I develop apps if I had a Cloud Only PC?
I'm looking at the Acer-AC700-1099-Chromebook-Wi-Fi on Amazon.
The idea is kind of neat, and I can see this being the way more PCs are going to go. Nothing installed on your PC - you are basically running a "dumb terminal" that lives off an Internet connection.
So far, the biggest concern has been that apps like PhotoShop can not be run on them.
As programmers, most of us don't care about PhotoShop, but we need to compile our C#!
Does anyone have any information on whether some form of Cloud Compiling is in the works?
Maybe my employer would be able to purchase an X-License copy of Visual Studio that is installed on the server and I'd just log into that to develop all of my apps.
This is totally doable. I would suggest that you/your employer take a look at XenDesktop. This is technology that lets you run Windows Virtual Machines in your own private cloud. Then to access these machines you run a "thin client" which is basically like a Remote Desktop session. The thin client can run on a normal laptop, an iPad, and even Google ChromeOS. The basics of this technology are free, and not that hard to setup.
See these articles here which are Citrix announcing support for ChromeOS.

The coolest part about this, is you are using a Chromebook which is a cloud only laptop to access the public cloud AND your own private cloud. Pretty cloudy in here :)
Given that Visual Studio is Windows-only, you have to run Windows somewhere - either on your local PC (not an option with Chrome) or on some remote server (and access it via some web-based RDP client IF such beast exists and works with Chrome). I.e. the question can be split in two - where to get the powerful server system to run VS on it (and don't forget that compilation is resource-consuming, so the server system is to be very powerful if several users work on it in parallel), and how to connect to remote Windows system using Chrome OS. Both of those questions are offtopic here ;).

Error accessing tomcat web server from my mac

support guys in the office can't help and everything has been fine for the last couple months until today. Running OSX 10.6.3 and 1 of only 2 users on mac. Can access a staging server when remoting in to a pc near my desk but not able to access via any of the browsers on my mac (Chrome, Firefox or Safari). An example staging server would be http://mesoderm:8080/...
Error is simply: Oops! Google Chrome could not find mesoderm:8080.
I can connect to the internet and remote in to a nearby pc as mentioned above.
Strange why it would all of a sudden do this and it's incredibly annoying! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Ryan
Investigate your firewall rules. This is most often the cause of this kind of problems.
