This three-part demo series introduces you to some of the features in Optim Development Studio available to develop a Java application that uses pureQuery annotated
methods. The demo series uses the GSDB sample database,
which is the sales database for a fictional company called Great Outdoors.
In this demo, learn how to gather SQL performance data, view it in the SQL Outline, and bind the SQL for static execution.
As mobile platforms become increasingly sophisticated, the
demand for mobile computing will increase. In this "Introduction
to the eSWT mobile extension series, learn about the embedded Standard Widget Toolkit
(eSWT). You can use eSWT to develop native-looking Java applications for a
variety of mobile phones. In this article, learn how to use more of the mobile
controls: MultiPageDialog, QueryDialog, TimedMessageBox, MobileDevice, Screen,
and Input.
This three-part demo series introduces you to some of the features in Optim
Development Studio available to develop a Java application that uses pureQuery annotated

which is the sales database for a fictional company called Great Outdoors.
In this second demo, learn how to modify the generated interface, test it, and use the SQL Outline to navigate between the Java source code and SQL.
Modern Web sites and Web applications tend to rely quite heavily on
client-side JavaScript to provide rich interactivity, particularly through the
advent of asynchronous HTTP requests that do not require page refreshes to
return data or responses from a server-side script or database system. In this
article, you will discover how JavaScript frameworks make it easier and faster
to create highly interactive and responsive Web sites and Web
applications.
Two weeks ago Oracle announced that it would be shutting down Project Kenai for public use and moving it inside the company for continued internal use. Oracle said that the project was not achieving the expected usage levels, but they also said that they would look for other avenues to advance the project and possibly re-open it to the public if it could be improved. It appears the plan has...

Both GraniteDS and BlazeDS provide support for remote calls and
messaging using Adobe's AMF protocol. However, when it comes to
integrating them with a Spring application that already uses Spring's
DispatchServlet, the projects start to show some differences.

In this book, one of the most highly respected developers in the Java world peels away 15 years of additions and changes to reveal the very best parts of Java, and shows you how those parts alone will help you build better applications. You may not like some of the features this book reveals, but you'll actually write better code with them. Java: The Good Parts is essential for every Java developer, from beginners to advanced programmers.
Domain-driven design (DDD) focuses on what matters in enterprise applications: the core business domain. But applying the DDD principles can be easier said than done. Enter Naked Objects: an open-source Java framework that lets you build working applications simply by writing the core domain classes while Naked Objects takes care of the rest of the application infrastructure for you. This book shows how you can rapidly develop and test domain applications, and then deploy to either conventional architectures or onto Naked Objects itself. Get ready to write some of the best business software of your career.
From ERH's Cafe au Lait: So apparently Sun has decided to add closures to Java 7. They will, of course, not remove anything to make room, so Java just gets bigger and bulkier. They will also give us a half-hearted...

It appears there has been a slight change of heart for Project Kenai so ignore the previous post on Project Kenai shutting down to the public. It seemed it was destined for internal use in Oracle and users were told to move their projects before April 2nd but now the message has changed:
Our plan is to shut down kenai.com and focus our efforts on java.net as the hosted development community. We are in the process of migrating java.net to the kenai technology. This means that any project currently hosted on kenai.com will be able to continue as you are on java.net.
If you have a project on kenai.com it might be best to stay put and wait to see how the migration goes. This decision by Oracle makes the most sense considering the amount of work that has gone into integrating the Project Kenai infrastructure with NetBeans.
