In my current project we are rewriting a feature-packed Struts application into a single page web app using Backbone and Bootstrap. The need for architectural patterns is becoming more and more evident as the application grows and we realize how many different ways you can use Backbone to do the [...]

This blog is based on two questions (problems) and an example of how they can be solved using Mule ESB and the upcoming nio-http-transport.

Question #1: Why does it have to be so hard to stream or push updates from a server to HTML based applications (mobile or not)?

Have you ever tried to setup a secure communication using HTTPS?
With mutual authentication, a service consumer, an ESB in the middle, a service producer and a number of certificates and truststores this can be quite challenging and time consuming. This is however a very typical integration scenario that we help our customers to implement over [...]

Luckily, I had a couple of hours left to play around with something that I have been thinking about throughout the project but never had time to implement.

In a recent project, I was assigned to setup monitoring of a set of web services. The idea was to call the web services every 5th minute and check whether they operated normally or not, i.e a valid SOAP response was returned. The web services used SSL Mutual Authentication to authenticate the calling client. Since I [...]

In my current project we have found that test using a slightly larger unit than single classes makes a lot of sense. Typically there is a service class with some methods that calls a number of entity objects to interact with the database. So our unit under test is often the service class, some entity [...]
