Only Narrow-Minded Programmers Think That Java is Dead

"You may think: oh no, not one of those Java bashing discussions again. And you are absolutely right. How stupid those “I do not like Java” programmers have to be to claim that Java is dead? Let us bring them back down to earth a bit"

E-Commerce in Java. Pluses and minuses. Your opinion matters!!!!!!!

Hi,

 

I invite you to disscuss that topic , please provide you input and comments.

 

My questions:

 

1.

Why java is relatively outsider in matters of small-businesses and e-commerce?

Except historical reasons, what reasons would you list?

 

2.

What conditions should we have(endorse) to bring java more closely to e-commerce?

I mean both: technological and business ideas and conditions.

 

3.

Where are the STRONG sides of java in e-commerce in comparison to PHP, .Net, etc?

 

4.

What good java e-commerce applications, solutions would you recommend?

 

5.

What bad examples of java and e-commerce, that you experienced? Please, elaborate.

 

6. Say whatever you think matters.

 

 

Thanks a lot!!!

Initalization of Class properties by Spring

I need to initialize a property of a class , which contains a path to a folder.

I used this property within the default constructor of the class.

it seems that Spring does not initialize this property before it executes the constructor, thus i get a crash with NullPointerException.

 

Alternatively i need to get a relative path to that Sprin bean, which runs under Tomcat. Had this been a Servlet, there would be no problem to get relative path. But how do i achieve same result with Spring ?

Java Unit Test Framework for Multithreaded Apps

Thread Weaver is a test framework that gives a control over thread execution, which is important if you want to test race conditions and such. I haven't tried it, it it looks nice from the "outside" - here is their wiki. Will be glad to get a feedback from users.

FindBugs tool

Almost in every project I participated in I run http://findbugs.sourceforge.net/ on the code base and found it to be extremely helpful.

 

It has an Eclipse plug in, it can run standalone or using JNLP on the browser.

 

Only yesterday i used it to confirm that a suspicious class has an indirect reference to a non serializable class and hence itself is not serilaizable.

 

Highly recommended,

A license distribution product

Hi,

One of our customers needs a "license product" which can support his own product distribution. This third party "license product" can help him define the licese through configuration - i.e. 30 days free trial and then add a key for an eternal license, limit number of users etc.

The customer product server iis a Java based with JBoss AS, and is based on Spring / Hibernate. The client is Web based (provide both UI and SOAP Web Services)

 

Do you know/recommend about any open-source/commercial product which can be used "out of the box" with some configurations for it ?

Detecting Mobile Device Cabalities

Some web applications require interaction with mobile devices. A key ingredient when writing such application for mobile devices is figuring out which device "talks" with our server, serve it with best fit markup, and make correct business-logic decisions (i.e. send the correct video format, setup package, etc.)

 

There are several tools that help us to cope with these challenges, all of them are built on top of a database (mostly XML files) which contains a mapping between devices and User Agents.

Problem reporting event to Syslog with Log4j

Did anybody tried this ?

I have configured the Log4j to write to Syslog. Syslog service is up and running, but nothing is printed into syslog.

Here is my log4j.xml

project lombok - spice up your java

project lombok allows you to annotate classes and so have boiler plate code generated on the fly when they are compiled by eclipse or javac. the source file isn't changed, the methods are in the generated .class file. so you can annotate a class as @Data and it will have all getters, setters, a toString, hashCode and equals methods. Or you can annotate a field as @Setter or @Getter etc.

 

see the video at the site: http://projectlombok.org/index.html

 

to technically understand how this is done, read:

http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/tools/solaris/javac.html#pro...

 

i think this mechanism can be used to create many useful a-la lisp macros for making classes a bit more DSL.
