I am pleased to announce a new article from Stephen Maryka. Stephen is the Chief Technical Officer at ICEsoft Technologies Inc. Stephen provides an overview of ICEmobile, which enables Java Enterprise developers to build web applications that provide the native look, feel, and capabilities of the mobile devices from which they are accessed. ICEmobile delivers a user experience that matches native mobile applications, and it does so in a way that adapts seamlessly to the various device platforms.
Data exchanges between companies increase a lot. The number of applications, which must be integrated increases, too. The interfaces use different technologies, protocols and data formats. Nevertheless, the integration of these applications shall be modeled in a standardized way, realized efficiently and supported by automatic tests. Such a standard exists with the Enterprise Integration Patterns (EIP) [1], which have become the industry standard for describing, documenting and implementing integration problems
After listening to Gabe Zichermann's open keynote this morning, I'm left with a fairly strong impression that the business applications of the future are going to have to compete with extremely popular internet phenomena like Facebook for workers' mindshare.
An article from experienced load & performance tester, Steve Weisfeldt Senior Performance Engineer at Neotys, about considerations to think about when moving to a cloud-based load testing strategy.

For years, the Java zone has brought you top-quality technical content by some
of the best minds in the industry. But taking the time to read an in-depth, code-heavy
article can be difficult, even if it's about a topic that's critical to your day job.
This podcast series, led by the engaging and technically curious Andrew Glover,
provides a new way to get information from the sources you trust most. Every few weeks, we'll publish a new discussion with an expert on the topics that are important to your job.
The Gang of Four's Interpreter design pattern encourages extending a language by building
a new language from it. Most functional languages let you extend the language in a variety
of ways, such as operator overloading and pattern matching. Although Java doesn't
permit any of these techniques, next-generation JVM languages do, with varying
implementation details. In this article, Neal Ford investigates how Groovy, Scala, and Clojure realize the intent of the Interpreter design pattern by allowing functional extensions in ways that Java does not.
Traditionally, DB2 for IBM DB2® catalog views have only provided metadata about existing database objects. A new set of catalog views also provide information about your IBM i system environment. Specifically, these view make it easy to access information about the Group PTFs and TCP/IP network connections related to your DB2 for i database.
The JVM's ability to execute machine- and language-independent bytecode
opens a world of problem-solving possibilities to polyglot programmers. Languages for
the Java platform are proliferating rapidly (with more than 200 now available), and several have captured significant developer mindshare. This knowledge path is an overview of some of the robust languages that can complement your Java programming skills by taking full advantage of the Java platform.

Java SE 7 Update 4 turned out to be an exciting release for Mac users. This is the first release from Oracle to have a version of the JDK and JavaFX 2.1 SDK for the Mac OS X.
The first thing to note is this release is only for systems running Mac OS X Lion (v10.7.2) or later. Older Mac systems will be sticking to the Java for Mac JDK 6 versions previously released by Apple.
Also, this release doesn't support Java plugin and Java Web Start applications. This will be available in an upcoming JDK 7 release. There is a developer preview release for the JRE for Mac OS X with applet support available to try.
Have a look at the known issues section if you have any problems. NetBeans v7.1.2 supports the Java SE 7 Update 4 release.
