Series Previous Post, Next Post In the previous post (part 5), we discovered how we can unit test using Arquillian, our EJB services, deploying them in a real instance of Wildfly8.1 application server. Extending the previous example we will add some more configuration and code, so that we can add unit tests that …

Series Previous Post, Next Post This is the first extra post, based on the maven JavaEE7 demo project I am building on this series of blog posts.

it's been almost 2 weeks that I have completely switched over to IntelliJ as my main Java IDE at home and at work. So far so good, here are my initial findings. Migration: I took me a couple of hours to migrated my projects over. Eventually if your project is already Mavenized, things are simple, no risk involved. …

We are resuming for the 4th part, our simple project currently has a web maven module (a war) an ejb module (ejb) holding our stateless session beans (EJB 3.1) and a second (ejb) module holding our entity beans (JPA2) but we are still missing the one to package them all, archive, which will be of ear_ type (aka …

I have been spending more and more time trying to find, …

I can remember this constant argument of many developers advocating other platforms in the past. Yes you may use Java which is generally ok, but even if you develop an app using your frameworks, nobody is offering hosting for your application servers, there are simply not a lot JVMs in the cloud that you could easily …

Στη ζωή μου έχω αφιερώσει αρκετές μέρες και εβδομάδες στη Java, ελπίζω να υπάρξουν ακόμα πιο πολλές. Την Τετάρτη βρέθηκα και εγώ μαζί με παλιούς γνωστούς από την αγορά εργασίας αλλά και πολλά νέα παιδιά στο Java Day της Oracle Hellas, σε ένα πολύ όμορφο χώρο δίπλα στη Γεννάδιο σχολή.
