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.

Combining java and Node.js through redis pub/sub and a json remote interface

Recently I have been doing a lot with Node.js. It is a nice server technology that enables you to program on the server like you program on the client.

We use http and json for querying the data and for providing new data. Next to that I have an event system that pushes events with new data to the clients using nowjs. The following image gives you an idea about the overall solution.

Overview solution

Axonframework samples

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.

Still learning MongoDB

Some days a go I wrote a blogpost about Learning Mongo. Of course I did not stop learning. As a good habit, I wrote down the next things I learned and played around with. That is what this blogpost is about, next steps in the learning process of Mongo. This post mainly focussus on Replication Sets, object Identity, WriteConcern and a bit about Sharding.

The case for most of the code used in this blog is about creating an EventStore for the Axonframework.
