It’s been a while since my last update on this blog.
The main reason is that I’m now blogging most of the Amazon Web Services and IntelliJ plugins related content to a new blog call Elastic Grid Blog.
As said on this blog, Dennis Reedy (Rio founder) and I have been selected to a BoF session at […]
I forgot to speak on this blog about the book review I wrote on the excellent XQuery book.
It is available online on Javalobby website at http://www.javalobby.org/articles/xquery/.
I have updated the Berkeley DB (Java Edition) plugin for IntelliJ IDEA.
This new version introduces the ability to browse stores by primary keys and secondary keys (you have to click on the index you’d like to browse).
Minor changes includes: secondary keys now displayed with cardinality and related entity information, all entity fields are now displayed.
I’ve updated the JiBX plugin late yesterday.
This new version should work for version 5, 6 and 7 (EAP).
The biggest improvement is error reporting. Now you have direct access to the right place in your binding file where the error occurred.
I’ve always wondered how the Rio CLI tools could support up & down keys in order to recall previous commands.
I found a solution on the Berkeley DBXML FAQ: use rlwrap.
So, instead of running “rio”, run instead “rlwrap rio”.
Simple, but useful
I am a big fan of Tapestry 5. This version is a huge improvement over version 4.
Recently some integration were committed for support of Spring and Hibernate. I decided that I should spend a bit of time understanding how they were written so that I could write a tapestry-jini integration module.
Two hours later, I have […]
I have just updated the Rio installers. This new version updates code to the latest version of Rio as of today.
But what is even more interesting is that now by default Jini is bundled so you don’t need to install Jini before installing Rio.
Let me know if you experience any issue or if there are […]
I’ve taking a bit of time tonight in order to update the Maven 2 plugin.
This new version uses JiBX 1.1.3. The version of the plugin matches the one of the JiBX distribution, so do not forget to update the version of the plugin you are using.
I have been working today on the idea I talked about yesterday: running Rio CLI commands over Jabber.
Here is below a screenshot of a Jabber session (using iChat) with the JSB managing the administration of Rio:
The text in blue is commands typed by the administrator (me in this case), while the text in orange is […]
I’ve been experiencing a bit with integration between Rio services and instant messaging services. What I’ve been able to do so far is illustrated on the following screenshot:
The JSB opens a Jabber connection (with the help of Smack) with an iChat server (which is also a Jabber server), creates (or joins) a chatroom, invite some […]
The last day of the training was oriented towards grid computing. I began by demonstrating a space-based grid computing platform (running two different kind of jobs). The nice thing about this demonstration is that is it a perfect example in order to illustrate some key functionalities of Jini and Rio such as: the workers do […]
The second day of the training was much better than the first day. Trainees were able to adapt the first example I explained them yesterday (simple Echo Jini service).
I asked them to write a Add service, adding two integers. They had to write the whole thing: a smart proxy (simply dumping log statements and calling […]
I have been teaching Jini and Rio (in French) this week for some consultants working for StepInfo. The training was spread over 3 days, starting from 7.30pm to 9.30pm (although the first two days finished at 10.30pm). Day 1 was mostly a theory session while the two other days were practice.
Overall the training as been […]
The plugin has been updated to JiBX version 1.1.
Make sure your project also uses JiBX 1.1 though.
The updated installer now includes Rio examples that were added in Subversion a few minutes ago.
Enjoy it!
I have created a rio-installers project (subproject of the Rio one) which provides for now on a Java installer (made with the help of IzPack).
You can download the installer for Rio (Subversion version) and just need to install Jini before in order to get everything ready in order to start development with Rio.
Dennis Reedy is […]
Obviously, this thing is not going to be any simpler soon. Mark Brouwer is doig a great job explaining the challenges, what’s available today and how his project simplifies things.
Using his project in order to cross firewalls should only be a matter of configuration, remember how powerful Jini’s configuration system is.
His project might prove to […]
Dennis Reedy, the one behind Rio and now employed at GigaSpaces, is doing a really nice presentation on what GigaSpaces (and various opensource modules) provides for Spring: essentially automatic export of Spring beans as Jini services, Spring remoting support through JavaSpace (kind of RPC communication with async messages).
I’m in Brussels, right now, for the 10th Jini Community Meeting.
As I’ve been frustrated previous years not being able to see what was going on, so this year, I’m your guest and taping most of the sessions (so that I’ll be able to publish on Jini.org website the videos) and I’m also broadcasting live video!
So […]
A lot of people have been working on such an integration, but it is a really good news to see that the latest Spring Modules release do provide support for lookup of Jini services, integration with JavaSpaces, and a bridge between the transactional support of Spring and the one of Jini which now easily permits […]
