HttpClient Cache provides an HTTP/1.1-compliant caching layer to be used with HttpClient--the Java equivalent of a browser cache. The implementation follows the Decorator design pattern, where the CachingHttpClient class is a drop-in replacement for a DefaultHttpClient; requests that can be satisfied entirely from the cache will not result in actual origin requests. Stale cache entries are automatically validated with the origin where possible, using conditional GETs and the If-Modified-Since and/or If-None-Match request headers. HTTP/1.1 caching in general is designed to be semantically transparent; that is, a cache should not change the meaning of the request-response exchange between client and server. As such, it should be safe to drop a CachingHttpClient into an existing compliant client-server relationship. Although the caching module is part of the client from an HTTP protocol point of view, the implementation aims to be compatible with the requirements placed on a transparent caching proxy. Finally, CachingHttpClient includes support the Cache-Control extensions specified by RFC 5861 (stale-if-error and stale-while-revalidate).

This project will mainly contain utility stuff for diverse purpose. Initially it will primarily comprise of Spring Utilities which will perform the following purposes: Load a single resource properties file from pre-configured locations with priority based override. Application context registrar to make the context available to other interested components. Use Cacheable Jersey Client Use a generic RESTful WS Client OpenSearchDescriptor JAX-RS Provider based on XOM based DOM I/O Useful utilities for Atom Syndication Feed, such as pagination over entities, retrieval of resource to certain depth, etc.

" The primary purpose of the JcrCollectionAdapter class is to equip a stand-alone Atom server with a JCR repository for storage. However, with a bit of tweaking the class can also be used to provide an Atom interface to an existing CRX repository: a simple way to get things running is to leave the existing CRX Quickstart untouched and connect to the repository through RMI. RMI is disabled by default, but on CRX's Knowledge Base is an article how to enable it. "

"The NetKernel Resource Oriented Computing (ROC) platform separates architecture from code. With ROC you can compose your architectural design independently from implementation code. By keeping the details of code separate from high-level information architecture you gain: freedom of choice in implementation language rapid click-fit compositional development long-term evolvable solutions Threading and scheduling is managed by the microkernel so your code execution is efficiently optimised with linear scaling on multi-core without the need to learn new languages. Something brand-new also comes from separating architecture and code. NetKernel provides system-wide caching of every area of your system. For free. No configuration. NetKernel learns what information is reusable and reuses it. This makes NetKernel systems fast. Very fast."

Sapphire - develop UI without wiring individual widgets Little has changed in the way Java desktop UI is written since the original Java release. Technologies have changed (AWT, Swing, SWT, etc.), but fundamentals remain the same. The developer must choose which widgets to use, how to lay those widgets out, how to store the data being edited and how to synchronize the model with the UI. Even the best developers fall into traps of having UI components talk directly to other UI components rather than through the model. Inordinate amount of time is spent debugging layout and data-binding issues. Sapphire aims to raise UI writing to a higher level of abstraction. The core premise is that the basic building block of UI should not be a widget (text box, label, button, etc.), but rather a property editor. Unlike a widget, a property editor analyzes metadata associated with a given property, renders the appropriate widgets to edit that property and wires up data binding. Data is synchronized, validation is passed from the model to the UI, content assistance is made available, etc. This fundamentally changes the way developers interact with a UI framework. Instead of writing UI by telling the system how to do something, the developer tells the system what they intend to accomplish. When using Sapphire, the developer says "I want to edit LastName property of the person object". When using widget toolkits like SWT, the developer says "create label, create text box, lay them out like so, configure their settings, setup data binding and so on". By the time the developer is done, it is hard to see the original goal in the code that's produced. This results in UI that is inconsistent, brittle and difficult to maintain.

"This page describes how you can get an extended WADL from your REST app. It aligns mostly with the extended-wadl-webapp sample and uses these features: Add additional doc tags to the WADL Create JAXB beans from xsd - you might also create the schema from your beans Add the grammars element that includes the xsd file from which JAXB beans were generated to the WADL Add javadoc from your resource classes to the WADL, using most of the supported javadoc tags For getting the extended WADL as described above these things have to be done: Configure the maven-jaxb-plugin to create JAXB beans from xsd - this is described here just to describe what's done in the sample. Add the application-doc.xml and application-grammars.xml to the build classpath Configure the maven-javadoc-plugin with the ResourceDoclet provided by the wadl-resourcedoc-doclet artifact to create the resource-doc.xml. Create a subclass of WadlGeneratorConfig that defines/configures the WadlGenerators to use Specify your custom WadlGeneratorConfig in the web.xml as the WadlGeneratorConfig"

"Out of the box Jersey generates basic WADL at runtime that you can obtain from your REST app via GET http://path.to.your/restapp/application.wadl. Additionally you can configure Jersey to create an extended WADL including e.g. additional doc elements or javadoc read from your resource classes: There's a custom doclet that writes your javadoc to a file so that it can be used to extend the WADL. Additionally there's the maven-wadl-plugin that allows you to create the WADL without your running REST app."

When creating a REST api with Java EE 6 and JAX-RS there comes the time when you start thinking about security. In our case we were trying to set up HTTP Basic Auth for the REST api to identify users and keep them from deleting other peoples stuff. It took me a while to understand the different aspects of configuring HTTP Basic Auth when using GlassFish:

"This Tech Tip presents some of the features of inheritance supported in the Java Persistence API. A sample package accompanies the Tech Tip. It demonstrates some of the features discussed in the tip. The examples in the tip are taken from the source code for the sample (which is included in the package). The sample uses an open source reference implementation of Java EE 5 called GlassFish. You can download GlassFish from the GlassFish Community Downloads page."

As we have just released the first milestone of the Spring Data JPA project I'd like to give you a quick introduction into its features. As you probably know, the Spring framework provides support to build a JPA based data access layer. So what does Spring Data JPA add to this base support? To answer that question I'd like to start with the data access components for a sample domain implemented using plain JPA + Spring and point out areas that leave room for improvement. After we've done that I will refactor the implementations to use the Spring Data JPA features to address these problem areas. The sample project as well as a step by step guide of the refactoring steps can be found on Github.

JSON-lib is a java library for transforming beans, maps, collections, java arrays and XML to JSON and back again to beans and DynaBeans. It is based on the work by Douglas Crockford in http://www.json.org/java. The following tables sumarizes the types conversion between java and javascript:

See Features for a summary of Bndtools features. Bndtools is based on Bnd, the powerful bundle tool created by Peter Kriens. Please read Why Bndtools? to learn why Bndtools has been created and why you should use it for OSGi development in Eclipse.

The Virgo Web Server from EclipseRT is a completely module-based Java application server that is designed to run enterprise Java applications and Spring-powered applications with a high degree of flexibility and reliability. It offers a simple yet comprehensive platform to develop, deploy, and service enterprise Java applications. The Virgo kernel supports the core concepts of Virgo and is not biased towards the web server, thus enabling other types of server to be created. The kernel can also be used stand-alone as a rich OSGi application platform. A server runtime can easily be constructed by deploying suitable bundles on top of the kernel.

The NEWS analysis specifies that, "Copyrighting a code that performs a special function is one side; it's other side that the proprietary metadata designs the program code and describes what it is suppose to perform."

Java Topic / Java tutorial The best way to handle exception is by preventing it. Since exception causes abnormal termination of programs and they consume lot of resources compared the to the normal code execution.

This video explains about the increment, decrement, modulus and compound assignment operators under the Arithmetic Operators Group. It discusses few examples using these operators.
