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.

Using ehcache and verifying that it works with JPA and springframework

How many projects have you done that had a possible issue with performance? How many times was the word Cache used in the same context? I have a very simple rule DON’T use it. Of course, like with every rule, there are exceptions. For one of our projects at JTeam we were asked to try [...]

The Great Dynamic Hope: another hum-drum hype waiting to happen

Over the past few years, dynamic programming languages that are based around an interpreter have gathered quite a lot of attention. They’ve made an impression with language constructs that are more high-level than those of older languages and they’ve served as vehicles for some new ideas in software development (and also for some “new” ideas, [...]

NLJug J-Spring 2008

Yesterday was the bi-yearly event organized by the NLJug or the Dutch java user group. I like to attend these events mainly because it feels like a reunion. I see a lot of people from previous employers and people that I know from others events. Therefore this is a welcome day to feed your network. [...]

Letting go: yet another traditional problem in the SOA world

Over the past few days my thoughts have been drawn to what I think is a common problem (in addition to the ones identified by Freddie van Rijswijk in his recent blog) in establishing and participating in a SOA architecture: Won’t Let Go Syndrome (WLGS).

WLGS is a problem akin to the Not Invented Here [...]

Hi all,I do not know how many of you are a member of linked in. I have created a linked in group. I do not have the intention to create the largest network around. But I am curious about the people that use my website, especially those that use rss to track all the [...]

My credits goes to ….

Why this Blog on four persons? I want to let you know that, as with everyone else, a lot of my thoughts and ideas are coming from discussions with them. And I LOVE DISCUSSIONS that give you a different perspective. This morning it became pretty clear to me that what i write also comes from [...]

Will SOA and BPM bring the MOOSE Savings and Business Agility?

How is SOA and BPM going to improving the ability to serve and exceed quality while cut in the 30% cost of IT MOOSE? I´m convinced that SOA and BPM is NOT the answer. The discussion on ROI of SOA caused by my Blog-item SOS voor SOA andmultiple discussions with Max J. Pucher and reading [...]

A unit test by any other name…

Everybody is, at least to some extent, familiar with the following quote:

What’s in a name? that which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet; So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call’d, Retain that dear perfection which he owes Without that title….
