All Through The NightPosted by editor on June 5, 2007 at 10:12 AM PDT
Sometimes things just come together There wasn't supposed to be a feature article today, because I'm still catching up from almost two weeks of being mostly AFK. But fortunately, Community Manager Marla Parker has been continuing her series of interviews with leaders of the top 50 projects on java.net. Late last night, she sent a copy of her latest interview. Before I put the computer to bed for the night, I asked her and her interview subject "this is great... can we run it tomorrow?" So, in our Feature Article, Marla Parker interviews Joe Walker about the Direct Web Remoting (DWR) project, which provides an infrastructure for developing Java-based Ajax web applications. In the interview, Joe talks about what DWR does, how popular it's become, how he manages such a significant project, and a surprising less-is-more request for java.net. In Java Today, the JCP Executive Committee has voted 11-0 (with five non-votes) to approve JSR 314, JavaServer Faces 2.0. This new version of JSF aims to improve productivity, integrate Ajax, support non-JavaScript clients, use the Java Persistence API, and leverage modularity to better integrate with other client- and server-side technologies. ONJava blogger Shashank Tiwari describes the JSF 2.0 kick-off in his blog JSF 2.0 is here! A new SDN article by Tim Quinn and Rick Palkovic looks at Java Web Start Technology and Application Clients in the GlassFish Application Server. "To make this capability available, you do not need to develop your application differently or distribute any files to end-user systems yourself. Launching application clients with Java Web Start software overcomes the distribution problems that have historically impeded widespread use of application clients. The GlassFish application server provides Java Web Start support automatically, providing the feature without any extra effort from you as a developer or administrator." TheServerSide is among the many sites to note the release of Emacs 22 after six years, kicking off a Java-centric discussion in Emacs 22 released - still with limited built-in Java support. "GNU Emacs 22 has been released. This release has many, many (many, many, many) changes to it, some of which affect Java (in that jdb support has been updated, as well as some of the font-lock stuff), but for the most part, it remains what it was: an editor that happens to have an operating system in it (or vice versa) that many coders still love." In today's Weblogs. John O'Conner looks at The Swing Application (Un)Framework, saying it is "hardly a framework at all, not in the typical sense anyway. The framework is probably the lightest, easiest to use one I've ever experienced." Content Management is in the air, according to David Ockwell-Jenner, who writes: "what a difference a year makes. I've been through two role changes in the past 12 months and now find myself returning back to a 'past life' looking at Content Management. Let's see how content management has gone 'Alfresco'." Finally, Carol McDonald has a helpful tutorial in Sample Store Catalog Application using Visual Web Pack and the Java Persistence APIs. "This Sample Store Catalog app demonstrates the usage of NetBeans Visual Web Pack and the new Java Persistence APIs, to implement pagination in a Web application."
