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.

Getting started with OSGi, for real

OSGi has been around for a while, and it has been moving rapidly towards the enterprise java development. There are still some miles to be covered before the mainstream enterprise development will move to OSGi, but the first steps have been made.

One of those functions in particular is quite central to the operation of all the applications that use out library and is responsible for collecting, transforming and combining data [...]

SOA component design: thinking about error handling

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 [...]
