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.

Injecting Domain objects with Spring

Using Spring, it is easy to inject any instance with its dependencies, as long as the instance is managed by the Spring container. This typically means that the to-be injected beans are configured in the XML configuration. However, sometimes, it is impossible or ugly design to have objects managed by the Spring container. For example, [...]

Flex remoting without configuring the client

For a while I am experimenting with flex. I wrote quite some posts about flex and security and I started writing about the Springframework BlazeDS Integration project. One thing that I do not really like about the configuration is the way to configure the remoting. All the hassle with the service-config.xml that needs to be [...]

Connecting to Hippo ecm using a springframework connector

Since my last article about springframework and hippo “Roadtrip from springframework to hippo 7” I have made a lot of changes to the code and moved my project to the hippo forge. With this post I want to explain what I have changed and in some situations why. I will not repeat the stuff I [...]

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 [...]

Wow, springframework enters the ActionScript and flex domain

Some time a go I had a chat with Alef Arendsen. We talked about flex and the integration with springframework. As a lot of you know, I wrote a few posts about that topic. We talked about what the springframework could do to make life easier for spring developers when using flex and BlazeDS. At [...]

Building Spring DM server compliant OSGi bundles with Maven

Recently, SpringSource released the first version of their DM server. The SpringSource DM Server provides the ability to build enterprise web applications. In the basis, S2DM is a fine mixture of Equinox and Tomcat.

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

Roadtrip from springframework to Hippo 7

At the moment I am doing a proof of concept for a customer together with two developers from the customer and a developer from Hippo. We are using the future product of hippo, Hippo 7. It is a nice technology stack using JackRabbit for the content repository and wicket as a view technology for the [...]

My first source contribution to springframework

I have reached a new Milestone. More than three years ago I blogged about a framework called Rome. This is a framework that enables you to create Rss feeds without to much hassle. I found the framework and created a base class that was put into springmodules. This blogpost Creating-an-rss-feed-with-spring-and-Rome explains what I have done.
