2010, 6th week report
Thought week, better to write down results to improve morale :)
After three days in London last week, my working week started on Sunday. I worked on Artivio, actually in private testing to some potential customer, and on my still secret project on social shopping. I had the chance to consolidate some new stuff and I want to share what are the new weapons I can use for my webapps, in no particular order. I also updated my oholo stack. Hibernate SearchUsing Hibernate as persistence technology, integrating text search engine like Lucene has been a breeze. Now I have relevance sorted result, can prepare AND and OR query and stuff like this. This have been more easy than what I could expect. Well documented. Release with Maven
I started to use Maven on regular basis to make releases. I already published a small article about. Wicket: images and consistent URLs
I am ready to write a small but important article about best practice to serve images with Wicket, being application resources or user uploaded images. I will also write about a nice "Ajax search" with consistent URLs (a la Gmail) which I just implemented for Artivio. Yes, @kinabalu, I primise, first article in a few days :) JQuery Tools
Artivio now uses JQuery Tools for some frontend goodies. I have some nice tooltip and overlay and in future also the image gallery will use this amazing piece of technology. I also implemented a really nice table with clickable rows made with CSS + JQuery :) OpenID
I manage out to complete a OpenId authentication process using openid4java and integrating everything with my Wicket front end, thanks also to this nice article on IBM developerWorks. iPhone applications
I expanded my collaboration network so from now on I can provide solutions for iPhone and similar devices. First project is on the way. Research: Apache Shiro and some authorisation design issue.
Resource access authorization can be a mess if implemented the wrong way. I have investigated and tried Apache Shiro which is really nice and very similar to a custom implementation I developed and used since a year. Wicket integration is also a mess but after some investigation I have a solution. Will work again on this the next week for the secret project. Java User Group
I attended JUG meeting last Tuesday, couple of presentation about distributed SCM: Mercurial and Bazaar this time. Very nice. I also checked for interest about a Wicket presentation that I will make the next JUG meeting sometime in March. That's all. Now finally comes the weekend, so I can play with something else, I just read an article about........
