Exploding Java: April 2010
http://explodingjava.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Hibernate Validator Disappeared from Maven? Monday, 26 April 2010. I've been working with Java for a long time, since version 1.2 in fact. I suppose it's human nature to stick with things we know and, as a consequence, and despite reviewing the change logs when they come out, I sometimes find myself becoming aware of things in new versions of Java that I was blissfully ignorant of. Today was an example. I was writing some JUnit test scripts and using my usual approach with assertions:. Import org.jun...

Exploding Java: July 2010

Maven Web Projects and Eclipse. Thursday, 29 July 2010. Maven Web Projects and Eclipse. Apart from dependency management, perhaps the biggest benefit I get from using Maven is being able to distribute sample code to people from my training courses and not worry too much about which IDE they are using. Because Maven separates the build process from the IDE, it makes it reasonably straightforward to open Maven projects created in other IDEs. Setting up Eclipse for Maven Projects.

Exploding Java: June 2010
http://explodingjava.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, 3 June 2010. I've been spending some time this week looking into setting up a continuous integration. Server for some of my training and personal projects. Although these projects are not developed by a team, which would be where continuous integration would really become useful, I was finding that I was spending quite a bit of time just keeping projects up and running following changes to upstream dependencies. For a local Maven repository. Posted by Richard Senior. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Exploding Java: Oracle Sun JDK vs OpenJDK
http://explodingjava.blogspot.com/2010/05/oracle-sun-jdk-vs-openjdk-and-jsf.html
Oracle Sun JDK vs OpenJDK. Servlet 3.0 Annotations. In Praise of Twitter. Saturday, 29 May 2010. Oracle Sun JDK vs OpenJDK. These days Ubuntu comes with Open JDK. Installed as standard. Many Java programmers replace this immediately with the Oracle Sun JDK. So what's the difference? You can read more here:. Oracle - Free and Open Source Java. That didn't worry me too much at the time, but I was also getting some odd behaviour with Java Server Faces (JSF) applications that I hadn't seen on Tomcat. Mos...

Exploding Java: Java and Gnome
http://explodingjava.blogspot.com/2010/08/java-and-gnome.html
Tuesday, 3 August 2010. I don't often write GUI applications but I have been experimenting over the last few days with the Java-Gnome User Interface Library. For writing Gnome-based applications in Java. The disadvantage of this of course is that you forego the "write-once-run-anywhere" ethos behind Java; the finished application will only run on a system that uses Gnome as its window manager. The standard, cross-platform way of doing things is to use Swing. The Java Gnome User Interface Library. Well wo...

Exploding Java: XPath Expression Testbed
http://explodingjava.blogspot.com/2010/08/xpath-expression-testbed.html
Wednesday, 11 August 2010. I've just been writing some code to parse an XML file using XPath and came across this very useful web page at www.whitebeam.org. It allows you to upload a sample of the XML file you are trying to parse and experiment with XPath expressions. Much easier than trying things in Java code, recompiling and running. There is also a good XPath tutorial linked on the testbed page. Posted by Richard Senior. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Toplink JPA and InnoDB. Saturday, 11 April 2009. Toplink JPA and InnoDB. Further to my post on my new-found love of Ubuntu, I've been porting a prototype application I'm working on to MySQL. This is an EJB3/JPA web application that was running on Oracle XE with Toplink as the JPA provider. Properties property name="toplink.target-database" value="MySQL4"/ property name="toplink.ddl-generation" value="drop-and-create-tables"/ property name="toplink.ddl-generation.output-mode" value="both"/...As well as is...
