High and low about Java and Web programming
I started out to investigate TestNG to see if it has an advantage over JUnit 4 and first I thought so but along the way (reading about it) I found it to contain just a little to many setup files and configurations (XML). These are things you don’t see when running the combination JUnit 4 [...]
This book is a must have in a team of developers. It doesn’t really bring you much new stuff but it sure is a good collection of the tools you need at a dayly basis. I learned some new JUnit 4 and TestNG stuff today actually, the way test data can be set up in [...]
Before you rush into next project using web framework X you should consult the comparison page found at Wikipedia. I’m quite impressed I must say. Good work guys!

This tutorial shows a simple way to get started with a Java web application at Jetty server with maven2 as build tool. Ok, so it’s for Windows but it should not be hard to port the non platform independent commands to other platforms.
1) Install Java
Download a Java Jdk version from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/, for example Java SE [...]
Nice little tutorial on how to get started with a HelloWorld with Java / JBoss

I wonder how this would look like for the combination maven2, java, jetty. Maybe I’ll try to figure this out and come back with a post later.
Took a look at this today and spent pretty much all day in this area. Ofcourse, when you install new software you often have to install other software for all kinds of dependencies or other needs. So, outside the core of what I meant to fix I also got my hands dirty with :
cygwin,
notepad++,
service wrappers,
and [...]
Took a look at some of the slides from Devoxx08 and found a few very interresting things (http://www.devoxx.com/display/JV08/Conference+slides). Among others, “Zero Turnaround in Java Development - by Jevgeni Kabanov” that you really should act on.
I’m joining a new project this week and I’ll try to add some pressure in this area if I get the [...]
At first glance it looks quite promising but I won’t say to much before I have done more testing for myself. I like the more slim way of doing stuff so I would like to get the time to dig deeper into this.
Another promising new release will be Servlet 3.0 (in JEE6) with the mission [...]
Sat down with an 8-hour task today, a junior Java programmer and went all testdriven. It was fun and it went well. It was fun. It went well. Just like it should be working with Java development. I sure hope it was educating also, but I think so.
Maybe I had a good drive for some [...]
Repo still down at sourceforge site for EJB3Unit… quite strange.
Talked to my Java-guru today and asked about out of container testing of EJB3 persistence and EJB3Unit. As I expected he advised me to follow this track but to implement my own transaction handling, well, that should be a good lesson I guess.
Another option is [...]
