You want JAXB to unmarshal singletons? You already spent lots of time coding rather complex workarounds applying XmlAdapters and afterUnmarshal callbacks? The solution is astonishingly simple!
Complicated year for me and I've not blogged something with decent technical stuff for a while. This is the n+1 restart that I'm trying... let's see if I can resume with a constant flow of useful stuff. The subjects of this post are two: first, a design topic (how to avoid anemic object when handling the processing of configurations) and second some extensions of JAXB to accomplish the...
In JUG-AFRICA we started an Open Source project to manage the BIG ANNUAL EVENTS for our JUGs. The first release will be available in the early second half of January.
The application will provide a lot of services via the REST Web services.
Java Web Services and XML
Virgil, the GUI and REST layer for Cassandra, now also provides a command-line interface (virgil-cli) and a thrift daemon to interact with.
The Early Draft for JAX-RS 2.0 (JSR 339) has been submitted for publication. I plan to use this blog to highlight the features in the new spec, and in this entry I'll start with the most requested feature: the Client API. This API can be broadly divided into 4 areas: the fluent API, the generic interface, configuration and asynchronous support. In this blog entry we'll explore the fluent API.
For the purpose of creating a nice API for my new project Caligo (more on this in a future blog post), I was looking for a simple solution to access REST web service in Scala.
The importance of the Java Script programming languages continues to rise. During the last years we can see more and more web applications based on extensive usage of the Java Script programming language. One of the problems Java Script programmers face is the differntiation between the different web browsers. Each and every web browser supports a different falvore of this language. This post shows the available Java Script debuggers we can use when developing for the three most popular web browsers (Chrome, Internet Explorer and Firefox).

A simple demo of the Spring and mybatis integration
The Facebook platform has significantly changed during the last year. The three most important changes were the emergence of the Facebook Graph API, the Facebook JavaScript SDK and the Facebook Social Plugins.
San Francisco/Kassel, September 2010. Micromata has been invited by Oracle to present a new Java interface for KML at this year's JavaOne in San Francisco.
One of the features introduced in JAX-WS 2.2.2 RI, integrated in Glassfish 3.1 MS4, is the clientjar option to ease client-side web services programming.
Java User Groups
JUG-AFRICA and JCertif 2011 honored in the first Java Magazine Premier Issue (Page 7) and I have published the first of a three part series of technical article in Java Magazine Premier Issue (Page 17) on how to build and deploy RESTful Web Services.
I'll like to let you know the dates of JCertif 2011 the biggest Java Community Event in Africa. About 800+ attendees from many countries.
We will be happy to have you as Speaker on Developer Tools, Java, Open Source, Mobile Apps...or Business solutions.
Still hesitating to join JCertif 2011 ? See the past event : JCertif 2010 and this blog post
Hibernate and OSGI Implementation Made Simple
Last April I kicked off FossESI to discuss how to take existing Java applications built using older technologies and implement them using new technologies like OSGi, Spring, Camel and NOSQL databases. At the time of the kickoff, we intended to begin comparing and contrasting 3 NOSQL databases. And just after that started, I got a real-life...
JCP
It's been a few months already that the expert group of JSR 339 started discussion about the details of JAX-RS 2.0. The target defined by spec lead Oracle are clear: Java EE 7 shall have a RESTful API that augments current JAX-RS 1.1 API by (among others) a Client API, HATEOAS support and asynchronous invocations. So what's the current status?
JSON JSR(pre JCP filed draft)
As announced earlier, Oracle wants to include a Java API for JSON in the Java EE platform. I have circulated the Java API for JSON JSR draft internally in Oracle. If you have any feedback, let me know. I will also reach out to few people(who worked on Java implementations for JSON) to support this JSR. The planned scope for this API is:
Produce and consume JSON...
