Links of the week (CW39) - OpenShift, Dukepad, robots ...


Hello and welcome to "Links of the week (CW39)" :-)

As every week, I'd like to share the most interesting blog postings and articles I have read. After posting only three links last week, I prepared something more for this week:

Markus Winand discussed two database related problems, that all developers should know of. They often occur when using ORM tools without thinking about the encapsulated database access:

Diane Mueller posted a short interview with JBoss Developer Stian Thorgersen at www.openshift.com. But even more interesting is the simple guide on how to setup Wildfly on OpenShift in a DIY cartridge (by Stian Thorgersen):

Konrad Garus discussed several ways to handle file IO if responsiveness is critical:

OK, three educational links shall be enough for this week. But I read some very interesting and (at least for me) entertaining blog postings from JavaOne 2013 which you should not miss:

What do you think about these articles? Did you already try to setup Wildfly on OpenShift? Please leave a comment.
I will definitely setup Wildfly on OpenShift during the next days. And I would love to build the DukePad. But I think I should wait for the pre-made kits they are working on :-D 

JBoss Forge - Speedup your enterprise development - Part II RESTful Webservices

This is the second part of my JBoss Forge series:
In the first part, we installed JBoss Tools to get JBoss Forge eclipse integration. Then we created a Java EE project with the entities Book and Author and generated a web interface based on these entities.

In this second part, we will add a RESTful webservice API to our project.

Links of the week

This week I was busy with setting up this blog and other things. So there are only 3 links I like to share with you:

Chris Ritchie wrote a nice tutorial on how to use the new Java EE 7 Concurrency Utils:

Some of you might already know this page, but I found it this week and I think it's great :)
GitHub created a website to support the developer to choose the right license for their project. They created a nice overview of the most common open source licenses.

JBoss Forge - Speedup your enterprise development

Hello and welcome to my blog!

In my first posting I want to show how to create a maven based Java EE project within 5 minutes with JBoss Forge. We will create a project with two entities (Book and Author) and a web interface to create, search and edit these objects.

This is the first part of my JBoss Forge series:
