Quite an old article on JavaWorld: "As part of the Java language, the java.lang package is implicitly imported into every Java program. This package's pitfalls surface often, affecting most programmers. This month, I'll discuss the traps lurking in the Runtime.exec() method."
Wicket is a lightweight, component-oriented framework that does much to bring the easy, intuitive interfaces found in desktop applications to Java Web development. In this series Nathan Hamblen (of databinder and coderspiel blog ) introduces key aspects of Wicket that differentiate it from other Web application frameworks This first ( of 3 ) article investigates Wicket's virtual state, demonstrating the many ways Wicket accommodates both stateless and stateful Web application development.
The mock-object testing pattern has commonly been used to test an individual unit of code without testing its dependencies. While this pattern works well for interaction-based testing, it can be overkill for state-based testing. Learn how to streamline your unit-testing using stubs and the pseudo-objects testing pattern.
EJBs in Scala schreiben
Was spricht eigentlich dagegen, eine EJB in Scala zu implementieren? Um diese Frage zu beantworten, habe ich ein Demo-Projekt aufgesetzt, in dem ich zwei EJBs in Scala implementiere.
PathProxy is a design pattern for persisting complex relationships without cluttering up your database. In this article JavaWorld contributor Matthew Tyson introduces his PathProxy pattern and walks you through an example application implementation based on Spring, JSF, and JPA/Hibernate.
Building a project is complex business. Due to the dozens of tasks required in converting your hodge-podge of files into a working program, there exist literally hundreds of tools that do everything from generating source code, to compiling, to testing, t
Interfaces and Abstract Classes are language constructs that appear over and over in many design patterns and even just in good design techniques. It is common for a single interface or abstract class to have many different descendants or implementations. A good example of this scenario is the Strategy Pattern which relies heavily on many implementations of the same interface.
It is desirable to have one test suite that tests functional compliance with the interface that could be applied to each of the implementing classes.
The Spring Framework's applicability in the context of Swing seems to be underhighlighted, at least when one looks around on the web. What does Spring have to offer in this context? Rather than a highly theoretical discussion, let's look at a complete, compilable example, step by step, and draw our conclusions from there.
We have used Spring Roo in a web project and show how we generated an early prototype and transistioned to early development and then to production code.
WSRP is an open standard proposed by OASIS for several years. The spec now is sponsored by a number of
big names like IBM and BEA. There are currently two active implementation of the spec. One is wsrp4j from
Apache foundation (still a incubator project, been developed since 2002). The other one is a subproject of
dev.java.net Open-Portal.
I have been exposed and done lot of development on the Apache's wsrp4j project. Thus, in this guide I will
mainly discuss wsrp4j implementation.
At this point, wsrp4j project is still under heavy development and re-construction. It is almost impossible
to get the trunk snapshot in the project repository and make it work without pulling all your hair out to figure
out how to set it up properly. This mostly caused by the lack of documentation and support from its developers.
Still, there is a stable (enough) revision which we can use to make a perfect wsrp4j environment.
The wsrp4j revison I use here is 440430 along with pluto portal 1.0.1 release for setting up a producer.
Jetspeed 2.1 (latest version currently) will be used as a container for wsrp4j consumer (wsrp4j-proxyportlet).
Of course, you can use pluto to setup wsrp4j consumer as well. But that is very easy to do.
Plus, pluto portal doesn't provide a lot of bell and whistle in the GUI side as Jetspeed portal does.
