Thanks for the sabotage .to our life. it's a pitty I never made it for a live .so pitty!

This is one of these posts, for me as I call them. A log of helpfull tips during work that might prove handy in the future. So, I am doing lots of Oracle Weblogic configuration on these recent weeks, I needed to make my server instances auto-start and stop along with the operating system, RedHat Enteprise Linux that …

I am doing a lot of setting up and configuration for Weblogic this week (devops I guess). I have been working with Weblogic for the past 4 years and I have to admit - like Eclipse - I have started getting used of it. I was a Netbeans / JBoss developer, and I've turned to Eclipse/ Weblogic guy. I am writing this post as …

I came across today a case where I needed to complete a unit-integration test of some quite complex enterprise Java code. Actually it was JSF backing bean with a specific inheritance chain, wired all together with some EJB's. Mockito is my library of preference for all these kinds of tests (really lovely library and …

Continuous Integration became a point of interest in the enterprise software development world, in the recent 5 to 6 years. In the Java EE case, we are happy enough to see tools and practises evolving rapidly, becoming tools of reference for other technologies and contributing the most to modern software development …

Having attended a few developer conferences (not much but enough to give you some sort of experience) I have developed my own custom framework of rating a conference. I …

If you ask me,what is your framework of choice when it comes to unit testing, the answer would be Mockito. I have been using it extensively in the past 1 1/2 year and tried to introduce_ it (sometimes under the hood) in some projects. I think it is simple enough to use (simpler than JMock) and to be integrated, so it …

Yesterday evening I was glad to accept an invitation by the creators and admins of the Java Code Geeks site - to participate in this initiative. It was really an honour to be invited on a site that you read every day and hosts useful and interesting material very often. it's been almost 2 years that the Java Code …

God bless Canada and this small firm called Replacement Laptop Keys - that I found by just googling around desperate to find a solution. Ten days ago my X key on my MacbookPro just went off it's plastic case. I was silly enough to mess with glues and stuff (yes I know silly me). The only thing I managed was to break …
