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.

More than 3 years have passed since I started writing blog items on http://www.gridshore.nl. The first post is dated the 11th of may 2005. This was about the time when I was still working for Capgemini and my colleague, coach and nowadays friend Freddie told me he was about to leave for Accenture Technology Solutions. Together we had some ideals for work environment and doing projects. We were talking about bringing the open source way of working to the enterprise. Freddie made me think about this stuff suggested some books to read and now he was leaving. Since he was leaving, we were looking for a way to stay in contact with each other and to start sharing knowledge. That was the moment we decided to buy the gridshore domain and to start blogging.
Now, three years later, Freddie is working for ISIS Papyrus, I moved from Capgemini to Accenture Technology Solutions and now JTeam.B.V. and we got two new writers (Allard and Ben).
After these three years and more than a 100 posts, it is time for some reflection on what has happened, what we wrote about and maybe some statistics. Let’s just start and see where it gets me.
So, if you want to read about my history and the history of gridshore.nl, read on, if not, skip this post, no hard feelings.

When designing components for a SOA landscape (or any multiprocess system), the primary concern is with the communication behavior of the component: how messages are passed to and from the component and in what order, what those messages are and what constitutes a valid message and what doesn’t. When the time comes to implement the component, related concerns come into play: how are messages projected from the communication language into the domain model and into the implementation language, how are communication patterns met and ensured, et cetera. In addition the project technical architect has to consider how to implement the component’s domain without hardlinking it to any other components whose domains are known or to the communication medium du jour (unless the component’s purpose is linked to that medium).
Now here’s the strange thing: with all the concerns that go into design of components at all levels (from the enterprise architect down to the developers of the different components), one of the most overlooked things in SOA component building is the handling of cross-component error handling.

This is a very short item. In my last few posts I have done some flex things. For most of them I was still using a bit of ant integrated with maven or even not integrated at all. Some days a go I was directed to this sample on the adobe developer connection. The [...]

In my previous blog post : integrating flex 3 with spring security I made a good effort to create a nice flex 3 application and integrate authentication and authorization with spring security. A few days a go I received a trackback from sven. Curious as I am I started reading the material he provided and especially the other links he mentioned. That made me think about my own solution. To be honest I think I did not really do a good job. It works, but still not optimal for most of the flex situations.
In my previous post I already mentioned the problem of sessions that are closed and exception handling with respect to security. In this article I am looking at the available mechanisms for security in flex. In this post I explain why I am not really using the flex or better BlazeDS security mechanisms and what you probably should use them for.
If this made you curious enough, read on. If you have questions, remarks or improvements, do not hesitate to use the comments feature of this blog item.

This article is about integrating the hippo cms with a spring framework application. To be honest, the amount of integration is very easy if you know how to configure the api that is provided by hippo. So what are we going to do? In this article I am going to describe the high level architecture of a normal spring-mvc application that makes use of the hippo api to store and obtain content from the hippo content repository.
For this article I have made use of the hippo 6 version. Things might change a lot when you are dealing with hippo 7. Starting release 7, hippo is fully compliant with the Java Content Repository API.
