Welcome Welcome to our blog about all kind of topics that are related to software development. We blog about:
SOA, BPM, EDA, ECM and all the other buzz words. Beware some post might not be so common as you think. We are not scared to go against main stream thoughts.
Technologies like java, maven, springframework, OSGi and front end technologies and frameworks like jQuery, DWR, Flex.
Finally to make this happen we need tools and of course a Mac (well some of us do). So we blog about that as well.
Linked in We now have a linked in group, join the group if you are a regular reader and want to see who else reads this blog.

 When I bought my Mac a few months ago, there was some doubt about the support of apple for java. Java 6 was out for a while and Leopard was still shipped with java 5. There were a lot of blogs and a lot of reactions to the lag of support. For me it was not a real problem, java 5 was already a big step forward. Yes I was working for big corporations still doing IBM websphere 5.1. But since I have moved to JTeam (well oke, I am starting this week) I need java 6. I knew there was an opensource initiative to port java 6 to the mac. So I started googling for it. But I stumbled upon this site from apple: http://developer.apple.com/java/. There now is a developer release for java 6. I also started reading some other java related material for the mac. In this blog item I want to share some of the stuff I found. I do want to stress that most of the knowledge comes directly from the articles I have found on the mentioned website. I will try to give references if I can still find them.
read on for the tips.

In my daily work, I am responsible for coaching and training of colleagues and co-workers with less experience. One of the primary issues I have to deal with is code quality. Of course, a developer will never deliberately produce bad code. So in order to improve quality, the developers have to gain quality awareness.
In this article I’ll to shed some light on some code quality measurements and a way to improve quality awareness in your development team.

 I have been using google code for a while now. The gridshore project at google code contains some nice examples. For a while now you can add wiki pages to the project at google code. Therefore I have created a table with all the projects that are hosted on google code. You can find this page at :
http://code.google.com/p/gridshore
I also made a cross table of al samples and the blog items that I have written to describe the technologies used. I will maintain this table at the google code project. But because it is the first release I also want to share it on my blog.
Read on to see a complete list of projects

 Previously I have written an article about integrating flex with spring. In this article I explained the steps to take when creating a flex 3 application that calls the back end implemented using spring. To enable flex to do this, I used the blazeDS technology. The theory is not very hard, the biggest problems you’ll face are hibernate problems with lazy initialization etc. While creating an application using flex I was amazed there is no standard component for filtering data in a DataGrid. Since I am using such a component based on ajax technology I wanted to have it in flex as well. After a shot search I came across actually nothing. So I decided to create a solution for myself. I do want to stress it does not have the flexibility you usually require from a standard component.
Requirements
- Input fields should be on top of each column.
- Filter should be implemented on the back end.
Constraints
- No drag able columns are supported
Read on to find out how we implemented these requirements into a custom component for flex3 using the spingframework at the back end.

Most commercial Java developers nowadays are working on projects that involve the JEE environment. As such they work on code that runs within the context of the servlet container or the application server. Which provides many services for the application developer, including session management. But what do you do if you suddenly find yourself outside the JEE container again and for some reason still have to maintain session data? If your needs can be met with request-scoped session management, ThreadLocal allows you to create your own session data repository with a minimum of fuss.

Many IT projects at large companies aim to make the company “SOA-proof”. What really concerns me is that time after time software architects tend to treat “XML Web Services” as a synonym for “Service”. In this article, I want to show that SOA may also exist within a single application.

If you want to make an omelette… you have to shoot some ducks! A counterpoint to Arjen Poutsma’s WS-DuckTyping
Author’s note: this was actually an article written by me for a different publication some time back. However, this is its first publication.
