In this article I'll describe the setup I use to do develop Lift applications. While more heavy-weight than if an interpreted language is used, I find this setup provides fairly decent turnaround times. So, it took a little longer than expected to write this article which continues where the previous stopped. But all good things come to he who waits The software used in the previous article all had major updates in the meantime: Scala 2.8 (2.8.1 is just around the corner) Eclipse 3.6 Scale IDE for Eclipse (though a nightly build is currently needed for Eclipse 3.6) Gradle 0.9 RC1 Lift 2.1 RC2

"Eclipse BIRT is free / open source reporting engine for Java. A commercial BIRT Report Server is available from Actuate (the company behind Eclipse BIRT). While Eclipse BIRT does not provide a free/open source reporting server, the BIRT Runtime provides a simple Eclipse BIRT Web Viewer. Eclipse BIRT Web Viewer installation instructions for several Java EE application servers are here. Here I share my own experience installing Eclipse BIRT 2.6.1 Web Viewer under GlassFish 3.0.1 Java EE Application Server :"

Couchbase: The End of the Trade-off Game Before Couchbase, ops teams managing web applications faced tough compromises when it came to databases. Screaming speed or durable, safe data storage. Super scale out virtually overnight or scaling up with lots of hardware upgrades. Bleeding-edge NoSQL or safe, but inflexible relational solutions. Couchbase eliminates those trade-offs. We supply extraordinary speed with complete safety and incorruptibility.  A growth path that will never force you to rethink your application infrastructure from datacenter deployments to mobile devices - one continuous, synchronized flow. Solutions that complement your other systems - including your RDBMS.  Technology that meets the needs of developers and conforms to the mission-critical demands of ops teams. This really is the beginning of a new era of NoSQL solutions. Couchbase: database solutions for a post-relational world. Learn more.

"I'm with Politecnico di Milano, Italy, researching on the application of model driven development (MDE/MDD/MDA = MD*) techniques to all the software field, including: web engineering and modeling of web applications (WebML, WebRatio), multimedia & multidomain search engines (Search Computing), business processes (BPMN), and web services."

"RHQ (formerly Jopr), is an enterprise management solution for JBoss middleware projects and other application technologies. This pluggable project provides administration, monitoring, alerting, operational control and configuration in an enterprise setting with fine-grained security and an advanced extension model. Jopr is part of the multi-vendor RHQ management project. It provides support for monitoring base operating system information on six operating systems as well as mangement of Apache httpd, JBoss Application Server, Tomcat and other related projects."

"The Open Data Protocol (OData) is a Web protocol for querying and updating data that provides a way to unlock this data and free it from silos that exist in applications today. OData does this by applying and building upon Web technologies such as HTTP, Atom Publishing Protocol (AtomPub) and JSON to provide access to information from a variety of applications, services, and stores. Project Info odata4j is a new open-source toolkit for building first-class OData producers and first-class OData consumers in Java. "

The Java Content Repository (JCR) standard, which is based on the Java Specification Requests JSR170 (version 1.0) and JSR 283 (version 2.0), provides a Java-centric object-oriented storage API specifically targeted at content management scenarios. The JCR is not a content management system or a full-fledged content management system API, but rather a content repository API. A content repository provides a common API for all content-driven applications and CMS components, which require access to the content. It provides methods to read, write, and query content. The primary motivation of the JCR standard is to provide a standard and vendor-neutral programmatic interface for content repositories, allowing applications of multiple vendors to interact efficiently.

JDBC realm has a lot of attention in recent months. This blog summarizes the evolution of the JDBC realm implementation in GlassFish and explains how the latest implementation works. I would like to thank Jean-Baptiste, and Richter for their contributions and comments. The participation from the open source community definitely helps everyone. I encourage all of you to give feedback, participate, and help evolve this feature further. GlassFish always had the capability for anyone to plug-in a realm. Implementing a custom realm in the Sun Java System Application Server EE 8.0 is described in the article Authentication Using Custom Realms in Sun Java System Application Server. In S1AS 7.x, there is a JDBC Realm bundled in sample. Jean-Baptiste formally filed an enhancement and provided a clear text version of JDBCRealm for GlassFish. Richter wrote another implementation because the GlassFish JDBCRealm at that time not compatible with Tomcat.

" Given that web service invocations are always remote across the internet, developing rigorous and responsive web service client applications has always been a challenge for architects and developers working with SOA. JAX-WS 2.0 comes with one effective solution to this problem: asynchronous web service invocation, with which a web service client may interact with a web service in a non-blocking, asynchronous approach. In this article, we will provide an exposition of this technology with examples built upon the reference implementation. Our examples utilize JDK 5.0, JAX-WS 2.0 reference implementation (RI), and Tomcat 5.5. JAX-WS 2.0 requires JAXP 1.3. To replace the JAXP 1.2 released with JDK 5.0 with this newer version, one approach is to download the JAXP 1.3 RI, and copy the endorsed directory under /lib of its installation home to %JAVA_HOME%/jre/lib. We need to copy the jaxp-api.jar of JAXP 1.3 RI to %JAVA_HOME%/jre/lib/endorsed as well. To make Tomcat 5.5 work with JAX-WS 2.0, readers need to copy all the .jar files under the /lib directory of the JAX-WS 2.0 RI installation to the %CATALINA_HOME%/shared/lib directory. As of this writing (in addition to Tomcat 5.5), Sun Java System Application Server 9.0, GlassFish, and Celtix also support JAX-WS 2.0. xFire is in the process of completing its implementation of this specification. Since asynchronous web service invocation in JAX-WS 2.0 is built upon the concurrent programming support in JDK 5.0 introduced with the java.util.concurrent package, we will start from there."

"Smooks is an extensible framework for building applications for processing XML and non XML data (CSV, EDI, Java etc) using Java. While Smooks can be used as a lightweight platform on which to build your own custom processing logic for a wide range of data formats, "out of the box" it comes with some very useful features that can be used individually, or seamlessly combined together: "

" Why Object Teams? Team spirit for your objects Building complex systems from isolated objects often yields poor structure which readily decays during system evolution. Objects should team-up in order to co-operate and jointly deliver complex behaviors. Objects play specific roles within a given Team. Context based dispatch Role instances are attached as specializers to existing objects. Object behavior is controlled by the currently active context that determines which roles are active at a given point in time. Contexts are reified into team instances, which may further be used to mediate between roles and maintain state of the collaboration. Modules larger than classes On the road to re-use of modules larger than classes two approaches compete: frameworks and components. For many applications white box frameworks are too fragile and black box components to rigid. Object Teams provide a middle road which balances encapsulation and adaptability. "
