Alternative to JPA / Hibernate

June 28, 2013 6 Comments

Ours is a legacy application, we are migrating from desktop to JavaEE web based application. Since it is desktop application database triggers, functions and procedures are heavy used to do lots important functionality. Some of our team members were proposing JPA to move trigger, function and procedure logic to Java layer but many of us (including me) felt is too risky for our business, time to market and lots of data needs to be migrated.

I started looking for a simple alternative framework for JPA which can help us to retain database objects at the same time simplify our Java code like JPA . Here are my findings Read more of this post

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

When your views on the world and your intellect are being challenged and you begin to feel uncomfortable because of a contradiction you’ve detected that is threatening your current model of the world or some aspect of it, pay attention. You are about to learn something. This discomfort and intellectual conflict is when learning is taking place.

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. Then I tried associating a bookmarkable page for the homepage then it works well. Here is the code snippet: Read more of this post

Java – Object XML Mapping

November 11, 2009 4 Comments

Have you written 1000s of buggie lines of code to parse XML? Generating an XML is easy but when it comes to XML parsing/import it is hard. We have to think about many scenarios and deal with many combinations. I use to prefer XPath API for XML import because I can fetch required values as they way/order I want rather than iterating all nodes in DOM structure. XPath is better than DOM coding but is not the best solution. So I started looking for a solution similar to Hibernate for XML to Object translation. Read more of this post
