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.

About a week a go I bought myself a Synology. A very nice product with reasonable value for money. Especially if you consider the options you have if you are not scared to get your hands dirty. Agreed the graphical admin console is nice, but the linux options are even nicer. I wanted to have a cheap solution to host a node.js server at home. In the end I am glad I made the choice for this model.
In this blog post I will provided as much steps that I can remember and or wrote down while installing a node.js server on my Synology. This was not the easiest thing I have ever done. If I can help some others that want to get more out of their Synology my hours of work are worth it.

With a colleague I was talking about Node.js. My first though, “yeah right, JavaScript on the server!”. But you have to be open minded if you want to learn new stuff. Therefore I thought about giving it a spin. I started looking for resources on the web, read a few of them and ended up at the article : express-mongo. This article was the beginning of my Node.js journey.
In this blog item I want to show you the steps I took, the resources I found useful and some improvements to the article that seems a bit outdated. It is not an explanation of what Node.js is, but it does provide some help to get started on your own.

Over three years a go I wrote a blog post explaining the steps to upgrade you maven installation on Mac OS X Leopard. I have been using snow leopard now for a while and things changed a bit. In one of the comments to that post Oskar Carlstedt mentioned the steps required on Snow Leopard. This is all fine if you upgrade a minor version, but with maven 3 things changed a lot. I have some projects that require maven 2, we did not have time yet to fix problems we have with maven 3. Still I prefer using maven 3. Therefore I have to change between versions often. I decided to create a bash script to help me out.
Within this blogpost I’ll explain the installation of maven on Snow Leopard and I’ll present the bash script that can help you to switch between installations of maven.

Axon framework is rapidly moving to the 1.0 release. Just a few days a go Allard released the first release candidate. You can find more information in his blog item: First release candidate available. In the past I have created multiple samples that some aspect of axon or the integration of axon with other technologies.
In this blog post I want to go over all the axon samples that I have created, some of them together with Allard. I will explain the intentions of all the samples and the technologies used.
If you are missing samples, have good ideas, please let me know and I’ll see what I can do.

Some time ago the NOS started providing their data as open data through an API. Using this API you can get the latest news items. You can limit the results to sport news. There is also a search available and a few more categories to find news for. The API is a REST like api and can return xml as well as JSON. In this blog post I am creating an API with the Spring framework RESTTemplate.

Spring seems to be all over the place today. Interesting projects just seem to keep coming out of their development machines. Hard to keep up. In my previous blog I had a look at the spring-social project. In this blog post I’ll have a go at the spring-mobile project. I’ll go through the things you have to do for configuration and I’ll have a go at creating a very basic sample application that you can pickup and play around with. I’ll even extend the framework just a little bit to implement a usecase I have that is not covered by the project itself.
