WEB4J is a full stack java web application framework. It was built by the author of javapractices.com, out of deep frustration with other tools. It has a philosophy of deep minimalism and simplicity. It could also be described as opinionated and contrarian. It aims to be a much simpler way of building java web apps.
I am pleased to announce the first public release of Impala, a dynamic module framework for Java enterprise application development. Impala builds on the Spring Framework to provide a modular environment for web-based applications. It allows you to divide Spring-based applications into a hierarchy of modules which can be dynamically added, updated or removed to an existing running application.

determyne Inc. has announced the technology preview of an open source transaction-level performance monitoring solution for J2EE applications. insideApps is an end-to-end transaction tracing and reporting system that enables you to centrally and automatically monitor the performance of your J2EE applications. In contrast to the traditional approach of collecting and displaying aggregated metrics for different system components, insideApps focuses on monitoring applications from a transactions perspective.
Semantic web is a way to represent and manipulate informations that allows very high flexibility on the way the information are aggregated, accessed and presented. To leverage existing information base we need ways to get these information and translate them into a semantic form. There many standard ontologies broadly accepted like FOAF (for representing person data and person relationships), DOAP (for representing project data), Dublin Core (for representing document data) etc.... The act of transforming information from a proprietary format to a semantic representation is called rdf-alization. An ESB JBI can be the right integration middleware to perform this task because it can easily collect data in proprietary format from different sources and, by redefining rdf-alizers as JBI component, can feed semantic web enabled application.
Using the Java Management Extensions -- JMX -- to observe internal state provides an elegant alternative to reflection and compiler hacks. As a byproduct it provides a JMX interface for the completed system. This talk will cover how to benefit from unit testing with JMX, and the code and overhead required to use the technique.

Sitting in the FindBugs session, it's pretty interesting. The last time I interacted with static analysis it was a product from Parasoft (?) and it wasn't that compelling. FindBugs looks interesting, simple, and is integrated with Hudson. Everyone seems to...
Participated in a Q+A session after yesterday's keynote. Sat down with Neil Young, Larry Johnson, some Sun executives, and a small group of reporters including Tim O'Reilly. Young and Johnson struck me as animated and excited about both the archive...
My entries are a day behind. I'm not a reporter, I'm a blogger, and I think it is more important to spend time talking to people than it is to work to some deadline in the press room. There's a...
So, the big kickoff for JavaOne. I guess there was news. Solaris on EC2, which is fine. More JavaFX demos. Expected that. Other than that, what? So one thing that really struck me: Project Hydrazine. Can someone tell me what...
Last year JavaOne got the UN guy and was trying to eradicate poverty; this year they got Neil Young and were showing off the cool stuff. CNET blogger Dan Farber has a good write-up and the video that tells you...
If you think that OpenOffice.org is just an open source alternative to Microsoft Office, think again. Find out how it can serve as a component in your Web-based spreadsheet applications.
ADDC provides services distributing water and electricity to the consumers in the district of Abu Dhabi and the Western region. As part of privatization and streamlining of processes, ADDC embarked on implementing various systems. Maximo's asset management was part of this organizational upgrade, CNME's Nancy Sudheer met up with Abdulhamid Nassouri, Director, Asset Management, ADDC to learn more details.
In the present day market scenario, while most system integrators claim to be 'Specialists' in all product areas and solutions, Absolute has stayed put with specific vertical customers and solutions.
Al Ain-based College of Information Technology (CIT), part of the UAE University, has set educational standards that are not only on par with international institutes, but are also reinforcing the emerging trends in the world of education. Computer News Middle East had the opportunity of meeting the management and visiting the premises to find out more.
They say every silver lining has a cloud. We all got quite excited about JavaFX finally giving us Java across an array of devices and great video capabilities. Finally, desktop Java was going to make it. Then as I read Dion's blog entry entitled Sun is bleeding; More engineers leave as JavaFX is pimped, I started to get worried.
This is the second in a series of articles about random numbers in Java programs. The series covers the following topics and also serves as an introduction to the random numbers package of the Uncommons Maths library:
There is published a result of the XML serialization speed test of UJO objects on the blog UJO Framework project. The result is favourable particularly in comparison with the XML serialization implemented in JRE 6.0.The UJO Framework provides special objects with a different architecture from JavaBeans with a few interesting features. The latest version (0.74) has implemented CSV persistence and...

JSR 308 - Annotations on Java Types - a new language feature proposed for Java SE7 has been discussed in the "Upcoming Java Programming-Language Changes" presentation at JavaOne. In a follow-up, Michael Nygard argues that JSR 308 increases the language complexity with little or no added benefit and sees this as a trigger for Java developers to reconsider their language choice. By Alexander Olaru

Konstantin Komissarchik makes a claim that facets are natures 2.0. While natures are hidden from view facets were designed from the ground up to be viewable and manipulated by end users. Konstantin gives a brief introduction to facets and explains how they differ from natures and how they can work together.
Authors Dennis Luemkemann and Manfred Jakesch show how to develop and test an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) application with both a client and a server part, using the free standards-based development tools from the Nokia Siemens Networks IMS Developer Program and BEA WebLogic SIP Server (WLSS).
This is the second in a two-part tutorial series on creating secure
Java-based Web applications using Rational Application Developer, Data Studio
and Rational AppScan. In Part 1 you developed a Java Web application with Rational Application Developer, and
then deployed the application on WebSphere Application Server with Java Server Pages
(JSP). This tutorial shows you how to scan the Wealth application created
in Part 1 using Rational AppScan to discover and fix all known Web security
vulnerabilities. It also shows how to re-scan your application and generate reports.
One of the most complicated aspects of generics in the Java
language is wildcards, and in particular, the treatment and confusing error messages surrounding wildcard capture. In this installment of Java
theory and practice, veteran Java developer Brian Goetz deciphers some of the weirder-looking error messages emitted by javac and offers some tricks and workarounds that can simplify using generics.
Managing source-code dependencies among projects and tools is often a burden, but it doesn't need to be. In this installment of
Automation for the people,
automation expert Paul Duvall describes how you can use the Apache Ant project's Ivy dependency manager to handle the myriad dependencies that every nontrivial Java project must manage.
