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 […]
Here is an unusual post for this weblog. Regular readers of this weblog may know that I am working on an innovative solution for e-commerce. As I need to work this out properly, I would like to gather a list of (ideally) 10 small companies that are in need of creating an online store (I’m […]

I do plan to use innovative technologies in order to provide the same kind of experience Jini developers experience to end-users of the store.
What it means is that the content of the store will react to the Jini topology.
For example should a […]
Obviously, opensourcing Jini under a ASLv2 license definitely was something people were interested in…
Many opensource projects are beginning to integrate with Jini technologies, such as Mule (a really powerful ESB) providing a JavaSpace connector, and a new project called Equinox working on a close integration between Jini, Rio and the Spring Framework.
Yesterday has been a day full of Jini [en] news.
Version 2.1 of Jini has been released [en] under Apache License v2 [en]. It is now definitely easier to get start with Jini because of the new installer that is able to check the environment and start the basic services. So if you tried Jini before and gave up […]
While reading a JavaOne presentation on apt — the Annotation Processing Tool [en], I discovered some AOP projects I had never heard of before.
The first one, rapt [en], is used in order to define mixins using Java5 annotations. This is grammatically speaking a little bit weird, but a nice usage of apt I guess. The presentation is […]
Keeping up with my recent trend towards using Java 5 annotations, I just came up with some annotations for Acegi Security.
These annotations are similar to the ones already available using Commons Attributes [en], so it should be prettry straightforward to migrate.
The project I’m currently working on at work involves quite a lot of Swing code. We are using mostly Spring Rich Client [en] which is really great.
I am using the settings support and wanted to store the columns the user is interested in (meaning the one he would like to be visible) and also how the […]
I spent a little bit of time figuring out how to use the Spring Framework [en] with Hibernate [en] and Java 5 annotations. I’m not speaking of Hibernate [en] annotations, but instead transactional annotations.
Anyway, here is the solution I found:
<bean id=”transactionManager” class=”org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTransactionManager”>
<property name=”dataSource” ref=”dataSource”/>

I have just received last friday my new server, basically an Xserve G5 [en] with two 2.3Ghz processors and 2Gb of RAM. This configuration cost me around 6200 € which is quite expansive but if you consider you have about 1000 € of software, about 960 € of warranty for 3 years and 1030 € of […]
Alex [en] and Jonas [en] have released a few minutes ago, AspectWerkz [en] 2.0-RC1.
This new version looks really promising (extract from the post on ML):
Fast: Average 20x faster architecture as compared to AspectWerkz 1.0
Open: Extensible AOP container allows deployment of Spring AOP, AspectJ aspects and virtually any aspects in the same runtime
Dynamic: Hotdeployment and […]
I have been thinking about some few things, I’d like to have (maybe one day I’ll spend some time working on it):
a PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer [en] that would replace with data coming from PropertySet [en]; that would allow retrieval of properties values from any kind of store supported by PropertySet [en], notably the database ones,
support for JSP taglibs with FreeMarker [en] […]
