Just say no to war and weapons
Tuesday, 2 December 2008 10:27 A GMT-08
No. I haven't become a pacifist. Instead, I'm talking about SpringSource's newish tagline: "Weapons for the war on Java complexity". I have barely recovered from the Spring framework's recent encounter with commercialism.

Monday, 21 May 2007 7:49 A GMT-08
Wandering around JavaOne gave me a chance to think more about what Arid POJOs offers. I came up with the term customizable convention over configuration or C2oC. I also extended Arid POJOs to implement dynamic finder methods.

Simplifying Spring's XML-based dependency injection
Tuesday, 24 April 2007 6:43 A GMT-08
XML Spring bean definitions can be verbose. However, an important benefit of using XML is that it completely decouples the components that are being assembled from the mechanism that is assembling them. It's pure POJO programming.

Migrating to Spring 2.0 M1 - part 1
Monday, 30 January 2006 12:00 A GMT-08
I've just started to upgrade the examples in POJOs in Action to Spring 2.0 M1. The first step is to get it compiling with the Spring 2.0 jars. Since I'm using Maven 2.0 I thought I just needed to change the pom.xml files to reference 2.0M1 but...

Returning to the EJB cult - developing with EJB 3 Part2
Wednesday, 11 May 2005 10:15 A GMT-08
In the previous installment I described the issues that I encountered persisting an existing POJO domain model with EJB 3. EJB 3.0 is definitely an improvement over EJB2 but the current O/R mapping is extremely limited when compared to Hibernate or
Returning to the EJB cult - developing with EJB 3 Part1
Wednesday, 20 April 2005 10:14 A GMT-08
About a year ago, with the help of Spring and Hibernate, I escaped from the EJB cult which had held me captive for five long years. It was such a relief to no longer perform the painful EJB development rituals that I had been brainwashed into believi
