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.

Creating the flex client using Spring ActionScript

In my previous post I have created a flex client with a BlazeDS back-end using the spring blazeds integration. If you are familiar with the springframework, the configuration became a lot easier at the server side. Still I had some problems to get it easier at the client as well. I still needed the services-config.xml [...]

We talked about what the springframework could do to make life easier for spring developers when using flex and BlazeDS. At [...]

Building OSGi-based web applications was already possible, but it is tedious and error prone work. The typical hello-world example was [...]

Defects, Lean Software Development, Offshore, oh my …

But lets start with the Analysts and their magic 8-bal that has shown them that Lean Software Development will become the hit of 2009.

Using JVM instrumentation to create a Spring Context Loader Agent for standalone apps

Within the JEE platform a rather common and well-understood system of configuration is based on the Chain of Responsibility and the Event Delivery patterns: the life cycle of enterprise components starts with achieving a general configuration goal. However, on top of this goal, the system defines a number of pre-goals that the system must achieve [...]

Things I do with flex as a java programmer

So far I have written a few posts mainly about the implementation of security and flex. In this post I want to focus on a the usage of flex in a more general sense. For the experienced flex programmer, this might not be a very interesting post, still you might find something interesting. For all [...]
