Re: three font sizes
I've noticed that on my Nokia S60 phone, there are other applications that can control the font size at a much finer scale. I'm guessing that it is the Java VM that is putting the limit on font control. Can anyone comment on that? My application is a Chinese ebook reader. There are 2500 frequently used Chinese characters in the language. Because of the complexity of Chinese Characters, a font size that is too small is not readable. So if you imagine 2500 medium sized bitmapped Chinese Characters included with my jar, it takes too much space and too long to load. — 

JAXB can generate Illegal XML characters
Apparently there are some XML characters that are illegal to have in the content area of an XML document, and there is no way to "escape" them to make them legal. For example, 0x1F is an illegal character. So if a java object happens to contain that character (which is legal in a Java string), JAXB will quietly generate invalid XML! Then when we try to unmarshal that XML back into an object, an exception is thrown. This means that the ability of JAXB to correctly marshal and unmarshal an object depends on what data happens to be in the fields of the object! That doesn't seem like a very safe or general solution.  — 

Federated Identities and SSO for web services
Would really appreciate if some one can clarify how federated identities and SSO is achieved for web services. I know SAML defines web SSO profile but how does it work for web services. Also it defines how federated identities can be established like persistent and transient Pseudonyms but how can web services use them and which standards profile will it use. — 

Re: GRIN vs HAVI
In Blu-ray, a GRIN-based menu, when obfuscated (which reduces the size and the load time somewhat) a typical xlet comes in around 100K, and has an acceptable load time on even the slowest players. This model of bundling the library with the xlet has worked well, largely because we were very strict about keeping the size of the library and the number of classes it contains to a minimum. —
