JavaEE – Clustering support in JSF, Wicket, ZK, etc.

October 13, 2013 2 Comments

When a seasoned MVC framework developer starts writing code in component based framework like JSF, Wicket, ZK, etc. they fail to understand the basic differences between MVC and component based framework because they could write code which can work in non-clustered environment i.e. in single JVM deployment. When the same application is deployed in a clustered environment they start realizing the difference which will require lots of effort revisit all the code and make it compatible for clustering. I am going to talk about a few guidelines on making development (on top of component based framework ) cluster aware.

There is no language yet available to replace Java!

January 7, 2010 8 Comments

There is a perception created in the software development industry that Java is out-dated and Ruby, Python, Scala, etc. are going to take over Java’s position. Some “hyper-enthusiasts” are already left Java platform. Sun’s profit model collapse, Applet, Jini, EJB and JSF heavyweight framework failures added fuel to these campaigns. I still believe no language yet available in the market to replace Java. I don’t have to talk why Java is better because it is proven solution for more than a decade but I would like to talk about how false campaigns are created by “hyper-enthusiasts”. It is easy to fall into these false campaigns because as a developer we want new challenges and something new to learn. Read more of this post

November 22, 2009 Leave a comment

Recently I tried deploying wicket framework based web application in OC4J container it didn’t work, whereas the same code works well in Tomcat. While googling found a few solution which recommends to use wicket servlet configuration instead of servlet filter to resolve the issue. I did the same but no luck.

Single-Sign-On (SSO) in Java Platform using Active Directory

August 29, 2009 76 Comments

Sorry guys it been long time writing in my blog.

Nowadays single-sign-on became a hot selling feature for all desktop and web-based products. In this article I talk about single-sign-on implementation in Java platform with Active Directory server. Since Microsoft Windows has become one of the most common corporate network platforms it is worth integrating with your product. Starting from Windows 2000 Microsoft supports Kerberos protocol. It is unusal that Microsoft support open-standard protocol, but they do in this case; good for us :-) Read more of this post

Web2.0: Hype vs. Reality

October 15, 2008 Leave a comment

If you listen to the Web2.0 sales and marketing (or the research reports funded by Web2.0 vendors) you would think that Web2.0 has swept the enterprise. What does this mean to the masses of enterprise product product development companies? Nothing. Read more of this post
