Up 
Recently, Matt Raible again presented his “Comparing JVM Web Frameworks“, this time at JFokus 2012. The intent of the presentation, as best as I can gather from half a world away, is to prevent some of the major JVM-based web frameworks, showing the various strengths and weaknesses, which will allow the audience to choose a [...]

CDI @OKCJUG
I had the opportunity today to present an introduction to CDI at the Oklahoma City Java Users Group. It was a smaller crowd, but they had great questions nonetheless. After a rough start in a workspace that wasn’t quite as clean as it should have been, I think the went fairly well. I had a [...]
A Jersey POJOMapping Client/Server Example
JAX-RS is the specification that describes how to build RESTful interfaces in a Java EE environment. Jersey is the reference implementation of that spec, and, like many implementations, offers features above and beyond what spec does. One feature that I’ve been working with recently is the POJOMapping feature, which makes writing services and clients much [...]
Grabbing Screenshots of Failed Selenium Tests
For the GlassFish Administration Console, we have quite a few tests (about 133 at last count). Given the nature and architecture of the application, we’ve chosen Selenium to drive our tests. One of the problems we’ve faced, though, is understanding why a test failed due to the length of time the tests take (roughly 1.5 [...]
Merry Christmas
I hope everyone who happens to find this site this Christmas season has a very special and blessed time with friends and family. On this geek blog, I think it appropriate to leave you all with a retelling of the Christmas story…through Facebook. God bless!
Testing Android Applications with Maven, Android-x86 and VirtualBox
For a few months now, I’ve been working on a small application called Cub Tracker which is designed to help Cub Scout den and pack leaders track the progress of the scouts assigned them. I’m a big fan of testing, so I’ve done my best to follow TDD as I’ve worked on the app. Early [...]
Book Review: Real World Java EE Night Hacks – Dissecting the Business Tier
Last week, a great post by Adam Bien brought his latest book, Real World Java EE Night Hacks – Dissecting the Business Tier, to mind. I have since gotten myself a copy and thought I’d share my thoughts here.
Funky Object Initialization
I’ve been using a technique a lot, recently, for initializing an object a bit more succinctly. It looks pretty odd, I’ll admit, enough so that it really caught a coworker of mine off guard. If you’ve been reading my recent REST posts, you’ve seen this a few times. I like it a lot, so I [...]
GlassFish REST Client: ComplexExample.java
In a series of recent posts, I’ve shown off what the GlassFish 4.0 REST client wrappers should look like, giving simple examples of using the wrappers using both Java and Python, the two currently supported languages. In this post, we’ll take a look at a more complex example, that of setting up clusters and standalone [...]
GlassFish REST Client Goes to the Flying Circus
It happened a bit more quickly than I had planned, and, yes, I know that’s a pretty bad Python joke, but, as promised, I just committed code to add support for generating Python REST clients to the GlassFish RESTful Administration interface. Let’s take a quick look at it.
