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

By jettro, on July 28th, 2011

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. Wouldn’t it be nice to create a java based business logic backend but a light weight client and server backend. Communication between node.js and java is done in two ways in the sample. 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.

Using the NOS open data API with the springframework and jackson

By jettro, on January 20th, 2011

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.

Playing with the spring mobile project

By jettro, on November 28th, 2010

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.
