Part of the beauty of JSP development is the easy of trying out the change. All you have to do is edit the JSP file, save it and reload the page. Yesterday I got caught by surprise by not being able to do exactly that. I saw some strange behaviour in an EL expression used [...]

Bye bye Ruby, hello Groovy
2009/03/17I first time discovered Ruby back in 2006 (yes, I know, I was late to the game), and immediately fell in love with it. The dynamic nature of the language, the consistency, pure esthaetics and practicality certainly changed the way how I saw software development and programming languages. Since that time, I made several attempts [...]
It's alive !
2009/02/18I was aching to blog about this since December 18th, when our system quietly and gently slipped into public visibility. Marked as Beta (thanks, Google for making this a legitimate way how to go live) it comfortably made it through Christmas shopping season into 2009. Now when the site has been announced and mentioned few [...]
After the Spring Storm
2008/09/25Few days ago, I have received an email asking to attend the SpringSource conference and offering $300 discount if I decide to buy before end of month.

So I grabbed the latest and greatest RubyNetBeans from Ruby Hudson. For some reason it stopped updates on January 26th so the latest version I have got was build 6327. It is bundled [...]
Versioning with Spring and Ant
2008/03/10This is post is NOT about version control in the sense of source code control. It addresses the issue how to easily tell which version of the Web application is running as well make sure that the same version is reflected in the snapshots performed by Ant. We have used this approach on several applications [...]
iBatis, Date null values and Oracle
2008/03/07I better blog this before I forget what was the issue . During daily run of unit tests, I started to receive this (very well explained) exception: Now the problem was that scheduledDate was null. Here is partial SQL map used: The createDate time jdbcType DATETIME was actually one of my changes. What Abator generated [...]
How to generate and send emails using Spring and Velocity
2008/03/05Testing applications that communicate using email is more challenging than e.g. testing database access. Thanks to GMail and Spring, it can be done pretty easily. Here is the scoop: I need to generate email notifying users about business events and after sending the email, store the content in the database. In real environment you will [...]
