I recently switched jobs and I have being working on upgrading our applications to JEE 6. Our applications run currently on oc4j(J2EE 1.3). I never heard of oc4j until I took this position. What I notice is that JEE has made some really good improvements. Things just work. I have being using spring for years and I still love spring.

The ease of EJBs development is as easy as annotating and your beans get discovered by the container and injected to a managed bean that needs the dependency being requested for.

This article shows an example Java class connecting to active directory and paginating the result. This was the solution use to get passed a rule placed in our active directory sever limiting the result retrieved to a thousand record.

In this article, I would show you how can generate the user config file and key file in you fusion middleware stack. This would prevent you from typing in your admin user's password when you trying to automate deployment.

Java web application development have been criticized a lot in the past as painful compared to building building php web application.  When developing an application in php, developers would refresh the browser to see changes they have made. In java, the developer would have to  restart the server and then refresh the browser. This process limits developer productivity. JRebel was created to solve this problem and has done this very well. The only problem is that jrebel is not free.   A free alternate to jrebel is  "Dynamic Code Evaluation Virtaul Machine"  or  "DCEVM" .  I wrote about DCEVM  a while back. This article would describe how I use it in my development environment. My environment consist of the following tools

The java docs defines the usage of the Thread#join method as "Waits for this thread to die."   I would like to expand on this definition.

On the jpos wiki, there is a tutorial for setting up jposee with eclipse. In this post, I will be setting up the jposee framework with Netbeans. The easiest way to start is to get the source as directed in this document(jposee pdf). Prerequisite for this tutorial would be java, ant, subversion and of course the netbeans IDE.
