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.

Starting with release 5.0, the Java language comes equipped with parametric polymorphism. Also known as generics, this language feature allows for a type (a class, interface, enum or other) to be parameterized with a type variable: a variable that represents some other type. This allows for the creation of Java code that is generic with respect to the type system (like when using java.lang.Object as the type of a method parameter) yet type safe at runtime (once you’ve chosen a specific type to use, the compiler can enforce that choice).
Even though parameterized polymorphism allows you to write code that is generic with respect to the type system, sometimes you want to write code that knows which actual type(s) it has been parameterized with. This article will examine how to discover that information, as well as the discoverability limits of the Java generic type system.

First and foremost an apology to all regular readers: I fully realize GridShore is not intended to deal with Microsoft technology (or whatever detritus is collected under that name). However, this one is such a beauty of having to go the long way to get things done that I don’t want to hold back.
As with many a long and winding trail, this one started this morning with what seemed like a short hike across a small and uncomplicated footpath. You see, of late I have found myself making more and more use of the different features of Outlook (something to do with becoming more senior in my company…). Among others, I’ve found that I’ve started using the little flags to mark mails that I have to get back to. But I receive so many mails nowadays that even in a single day the flags get snowed under and pushed off the list. Of course I could just sort by flag status, but I prefer to have today’s mails at the top (rather than the flags and ticks from two weeks ago). So I had myself a bright idea this morning: I’ll just change the grouping of my mails to group by received date and then flag status within the date groups. Walk in the park, right?
Oh mother….
