I just read Boris Lublinsky’s article on “Is REST the future for SOA?“.
I think it makes a good job in clarifying that REST and SOA are different architecture styles, rather than merely a choice of protocol. I also like that he discusses the common case where people talk about REST when they actually mean http [...]

I’m an enterprise architect. My work is to define architectures that span systems, organizations and sometimes countries. Not because architectures become better if they do. No, because business-, enterprise- and pan-european integration projects depend on an agreed abstraction (in the sense of frameworks) of IT so that focus can shift from plumbing to system-level design.

What is it?
CDI is an abbreviation of “Contexts and Dependency Injection for the Java EE platform”. First of all, I’d like to stress that CDI is not only for Java EE environments. It is equally applicable to Java SE applications, unit tests and other out-of-container environments.
The specification (JSR-299) defines its declared capabilities as follows:
This specification [...]

JAX-WS is the Java-standard for Web-Service XML to Java POJO binding. It entered the scene in Java EE 5 and Java SE 6. I wrote a blog entry a while back on it’s advantages over the predecessor (JAX-RPC). With WSDL-first (contract-first) design, Java POJO:s are generated from WSDL and XSD source files. The resulting Java [...]

Going back to the roots of OOD has been commonly advocated since Eric Evans presented his book “Domain-Driven Design: Tackling Complexity in the Heart of Software” back in 2003. There are several other sources of the movement, such as the Naked Objects Framework which we presented at Cadec 2007.
In database systems, DDD often [...]

I decided to see what it would take to deploy the weather feed of my previous post to Google App Engine – a cloud platform for Java servlets. I went the maven path, so that I could simply deploy to GAE via a maven build command. In order to keep the original project independent of [...]

We are often asked to define WSDL- and schema design guidelines (contract-first) for clients. We have found a core set of guidelines that seem to work well for clients using XML_binding. The core challenge is to find a portable and reasonably useful approach to controlled evolution, supporting backwards- and forwards compatibility across service consumers and [...]

As Groovy becomes integrated in more and more environments, the IDE support is slowly improving. There are many options for editing Groovy, but well-integrated debugging has so far been the privilege of IntelliJ Idea users.
In terms of refactoring, IntelliJ is still outstanding for Groovy developers. But there is a solution to the basic needs [...]

If you need to automate a fairly complex process – like a batch job – Groovy may come in handy. Designing a Java batch job is typically a task that involves the following mechanisms:
Job control infrastructure that triggers the job as a shell command
A script that (e.g. ant) that initializes the class path and triggers [...]
