Today I found a presentation by Adrian Colyer using the pretty cool Prezi tool. Besides the optical impression its content tells us what will be the next step in enterprise computing for Spring users.
Prezi seems to be even cooler than SlideRocket. So, it is worth to have a look at it anyway.
Here’s the embedded presentation:
MoreThere are two central component models we use today: Spring POJOs and EJBs. With JSR-299 everything is a bean now. But, where’s the innovation? The JCP continues in conservation of what became a standard a decade ago.
A week ago Rod compared Red Hat/JBoss and SpringSource. In the Open Source world that’s indeed a comparison between the component models EJB vs. Spring POJOs.
It is pretty clear for years now that even ...
MoreOracle buys Sun and Rod doesn’t care. For short, there’s no innovation in it.
Who is Rod? Rod Johnson from SpringSource. He was one of the first who criticized EJB 2.x and developed the Spring Framework finally. Today Spring is the most important part in modern JEE architectures. So, Rod is indeed important to the community.
Our team discussed the Oracle-Sun merger several days (like the rest of the Java community without doubt). Seems to me that the aspect of innovation was ...
MoreProjects that use Spring’s Dependency Injection for years and start to think about using Flex in their frontends naturally ask for something similar for the Flex/AIR development. SpringSource has a new incubator project delivering such an Actionscript framework.
The first step in integrating Spring and Flex is BlazeDS. Meanwhile there are two ways to establish a communication:
Christophe’s implementation is used in a lot of projects already. But, it is pretty clear that ...
MoreI did a search on my blog today to find out when I wrote about ICEfaces the first time. It was a comment on May 10, 2007 in my post When There’s Bad Smell in Your JSF Tag Soup Due to Facelets. I suggested it for its excellent Facelets integration. Indeed, this was why we choose it primarily in our project to skip Struts/Tiles/Common-Controls.
I started in August, 2007 to create a core for our Web presentation based ...
MoreWe’ve a lot of experiences now with Web 2.0 technologies based on AJAX and JSF. Although, we hold pretty modern, almost standards-based stuff in our hands the maintenance hell for the markup-based presentation layer is pretty lively. The costs are still tremendous in comparison to similar desktop developments.
To be a successful successor for AJAX/JSF development the Web 3.0 frameworks have to be
Last November we got Spring 2.5 and with it the possibility to use annotations for dependency injection (DI). Annotations can be used instead or mixed with the classic application context file(s) based on XML.
If you compare the former more complex XML configurations with what you still have to keep, after using annotations, it’s quite amazing how straightforward the XML becomes. For projects with complex DI configurations it is possible to transfer the configuration in steps.
For our ICEfaces Web application ...
MoreToday I’ll start with the AIRgonaut series. It will give you AIR tips to desktop-like programing questions you may already answered, with Delphi, Visual Basic, and the like in the past. But, today you may recognize that all your know-how is less important and needs an update, because of such obscure ideas the Flex architects had in mind in the past 
.
Well, this is what my feeling was when I started with Flex/AIR this year ...
MoreLast week our project structure changed a bit and I had to think about training new members in the JSF field. I remembered that there’s still a draft article, I started in 2006, in my blog management. Rick from DZone told me that there’s still a need for giving some tips in JSF programming. So, I polished my article .
Hint: If you still think about changing from your current Web presentation framework to something new, ...
MoreI’m a Typo3 user for years. It’s one of the best PHP-based OpenSource CMS you get today. I prefer it over Java-based solutions because it’s mature, feature-rich, and best of all, it can be used with every provider environment you can find on the planet.
There are huge installations out there already, that scale, can be clustered, and the like. For short: Typo3 is rock-solid enough to be used in mission-critical environments. But, the core team recognized over the last ...
