javafx is up and ^H^H^H^H^H^Hrunning

felipeal — 2008-12-04T09:55:03-08:00

With all this fuzz about JavaFX (which I've never cared for so far, and always thought it was something related to the FX TV channel), I decided to check the website. But to my surprise (or not!), all I got was a lousy "Your Application Server is now running" message, as you can see on this screenshot

Adding EL support on your projects

felipeal — 2008-10-26T23:07:38-08:00

A few years ago, JSTL introduced the concept of EL (Expression Language) to the Java standards. Since then, the technology have been slowing climbing the JCP ladder, first becoming part of JSP 2.0, then having its own API (javax.el).

Although there is a lot of documentation out there on how to use EL in places that support it (like the aforementioned JSTL and JSP technologies), there is a lack of resources on how to support EL on *your* application.

In this blog, I will try to fill that gap.

Configuring Eclipse TPTP (a.k.a PQP) profiler on Linux

felipeal — 2008-06-26T19:23:44-08:00

After struggling for weeks and almost giving up, I finally managed to have the Eclipse TPTP profiler working on my Ubuntu 64bits box!

As this was a painful and unbelievably hard experience (because of Eclipse TPTP, not Ubuntu/Linux, BTW), I'm going to share a few tips here.

Spring, ICEFaces, and the dreaded thread-bound request issue

felipeal — 2008-03-06T00:21:56-08:00

In this blog, I provide a quick solution for a nasty issue that arises when you use ICEFaces server-push technology combined with Spring/JSF integration.

JSP is not dead!

felipeal — 2007-07-09T08:35:31-08:00

Once in a while people blog about JSP being a dead technology. Well, it's alive and well, as I show in this blog.

My suggestion for Servlet 3.0

felipeal — 2007-06-25T09:52:38-08:00

The Servlet 3.0 JSR is out. I have a simple - yet very useful - suggestion for improvement.

The stress is over, time to enjoy the conference...

felipeal — 2007-05-10T00:26:34-08:00

We presented our technical session earlier today, so now we can finally enjoy the conference - too bad I have to work tomorrow :-(

Anyway, I'd like to talk a little bit about our presentation...

Firefox, profiles, and Linux

felipeal — 2007-02-27T20:18:30-08:00

Have you ever spent hours trying to run 2 instances of Firefox on Linux, using command-line arguments (like -ProfileManager) that *used* to work, but now simply open a window in the same Firefox process? If you did, this blog is for you...

Final? Not yet...

felipeal — 2007-02-13T08:11:31-08:00

Now that the pandora box is open, it is my turn to suggest a (possible worthless) change to the Java language: the semifinal modifier!

Hello, McFly?

felipeal — 2007-02-12T15:26:13-08:00

I have this blog for a long time - in fact, I think I was one of the first 100 or so webloggers, as I joined it shortly after JavaOne 2003. Still, I haven't blogged that much (just 22 entries in 41 months), specially last year (only 4 semi-crappy posts). Hopefully, the situation is going to change, as I will explain in this 'meta-blog'...

Who let the bugs out?

felipeal — 2006-11-22T05:00:27-08:00

I'm facing an interesting situation using some sort of advanced (read: complex and ugly :-) generic mapping, where my code compiles on Eclipse but fails on Sun's javac. As I haven't blogged for a while, I decided to write about it.
Curious? Take a look in the code below...

The name is bound, Java EE bound

felipeal — 2006-07-31T18:53:46-08:00

The previous weblog says JEE is The Official Acronym for Java Enterprise Edition. That's not true - the new name for the is - and always have been - Java EE. If you don't believe me (after all, I'm not a Sun employee :-(, keep reading...

The rise and fall of the application server as product (A.K.A. app server commoditization)

felipeal — 2006-06-16T14:37:57-08:00

Much has been talked about the commoditization of the Java EE application server, specially now that many open-source servers are available. In this blog, I show one evidence that supports that claim...

Installing Netbeans 5.5 "some large Sun-style name for stuff that changes name on each release" Preview on Mac OS X

felipeal — 2006-03-08T21:36:15-08:00

After struggling for a desnecessary while (and they said Mac OS X is the better platform for Java developers...) I've figured out how to install NetBeans 5.5 Enterprise Preview on Mac OS X...

Things to do in San Francisco when your schedule is dead

felipeal — 2005-06-23T16:14:12-08:00

In a few hours I'm leaving Sao Paulo headed to San Francisco, for the JavaOne conference. As I have to wait for the departure time, I'm blogging about some things I'm probably doing in the conference.
