TradeOffz: Web application configuration on Tomcat using Spring

http://tradeoffz.blogspot.com/2008/11/web-application-configuration-on-tomcat.html

Challenges facing Software Engineering. Tuesday, November 18, 2008. Web application configuration on Tomcat using Spring. In order to get two sets of independent configuration (property) files, one for development and one for production, one can do the following:. In the web-inf folder place a property file, e.g. act.properties. In the applicationContext.xml define:. File:/ /${CATALINA HOME}/act.properties. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

TradeOffz: Birt versus Jasper Reports

http://tradeoffz.blogspot.com/2008/11/birt-versus-jasper-reports.html

Challenges facing Software Engineering. Thursday, November 6, 2008. Birt versus Jasper Reports. My experiences as a new user with Birt and Jasper. A report grouped by week done within a one - two hours. Built-in support for group-by week (special function). Adding JDBC drivers is easy. I get hopelessly lost in the NetBeans based IDE. I do not understand how to use the query builder and the report builder. NetBeans based IDE looks a lot sharper as the 3.0 classic IDE. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

TradeOffz: October 2007

http://tradeoffz.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html

Challenges facing Software Engineering. Wednesday, October 31, 2007. Two quality attributes to which an application architecture should adhere:. I) It is important that an application architecture can accommodate new requirements without big changes in the implementation. Changes should be as local as possible, keeping the impact small. (not everything can be tested in an automated manner). II) An architecture should have one way of doing things and allow for exceptions. Wednesday, October 17, 2007.

TradeOffz: VB6 & REST

http://tradeoffz.blogspot.com/2008/09/vb6-rest.html

Challenges facing Software Engineering. Thursday, September 11, 2008. I want to call a REST service from my VB6 Macro. This page. Describes how to do this using IE 6 COM objects, instead of needing to install the MS SOAP Toolkit (if it is still available). It will probably also work for IE 7 since the difference between the two is small. Anyway something to verify. In case the original page gets lost:. Create objects to DOMDocument and XMLHTTP. Set objDom = CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument").

Challenges facing Software Engineering. Wednesday, December 19, 2007. Writing a test to verify ODT content. Sample to test the content of an Open Office document containing three lines ('1234', empty line, 'description'):. Import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;. Import com.artofsolving.jodconverter.DefaultDocumentFormatRegistry;. Import com.artofsolving.jodconverter.DocumentConverter;. Import org.w3c.dom.Document;. Import org.w3c.dom.Element;. Element docElement = doc.getDocumentElement();.

TradeOffz: February 2008

http://tradeoffz.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html

Challenges facing Software Engineering. Friday, February 29, 2008. GWT and object serialization. When writing GWT business applications you have the problem that the object graph resided at the server has to be partially send to the browser/client, (perhaps) updated and send back. I think it is key to have something similar to Hibernate for the GWT arena. Instead of manually loading additional objects a framework should handle this. My hope was that a framework like XSTM. Would solve this problem. Th...

TradeOffz: March 2008

http://tradeoffz.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html

Challenges facing Software Engineering. Thursday, March 27, 2008. Sunday, March 16, 2008. An ordinary application based on a persistence engine like Hibernate uses obviously an operational schema - making analytics hard. It would be nice to let Hibernate also update a data warehouse - similar to updating the indexes for text based retrieval. To summarize; the application has three data sources; operational, warehouse and text-indexes. Wednesday, March 5, 2008. Tomcat as Windows Service. In my case the se...

TradeOffz: Evaluation criteria Java Library

http://tradeoffz.blogspot.com/2008/08/evaluation-criteria-java-library.html

Challenges facing Software Engineering. Wednesday, August 13, 2008. Evaluation criteria Java Library. Evaluation criteria I suggest:. Maturity of the product; years in service,. Size of the community, popularity among developers, documentation. Feature set and what is missing. How easy to extend. Rate of new releases. Stability, performance, scalability. Integration with other 3rd party libs (e.g. Spring, Hibernate, ActiveMQ, GWT, etc). Readability / ease of use of the configuration files.

Challenges facing Software Engineering. Tuesday, January 29, 2008. Java Bug Date equals? Who would have thought that the following test would fail:. Private Date getDate14April() {. Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();. Calendar.set(2007, 3, 14, 15, 30); / 14 april 15:30. Return calendar.getTime();. Public void testCompareDate() {. Date date = getDate14April();.

TradeOffz: July 2008

http://tradeoffz.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html

Challenges facing Software Engineering. Thursday, July 3, 2008. Partitioning is a very import aspect of software development; you need to partition the application into several parts; modules, classes, units, whatsoever. Dividing the work among people is also partitioning. Choosing the right partitioning is about trade-offs. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.
