http://bigblog.com/java.html The latest in Java http://www.web2journal.com/read/566068.htm This is the story of a Mac application developer (okay its about two of them) who set out on a quest to find an application development tool based on Java so his boss would let him develop on the Mac platform, which he loved. There was only one catch he had to find a tool that was fast. Traditional Java programming was going to take waaaay too long to convert the internal custom programs that had been written in an old 4GL. But the boss still wanted the excellent user interfaces that he was used to because our hero was good on the Mac and could make the screens look pretty. If possible the boss wanted the impossible make the application run on a desktop AND over the Web just in case. Heres the story of our intrepid hero and how he searched, and found, a way to meet all the Dilbert boss-li http://www.web2journal.com/read/567242.htm As CFML developers start to learn Java and move into the realm of Spring and Hibernate, it is very important to stop and ask 'What Is ColdFusion?'. ColdFusion, since CFMX, has been a J2EE application running within a J2EE server (JRun, JBoss, Tomcat, Websphere, etc.). This is important because thinking of ColdFusion like this lets us expand our mind to what we can really do with ColdFusion. We (CFML developers) can start to leverage J2EE services and frameworks like JPA, JNDI, JTA, and others to make ColdFusion a real player in the J2EE stack. http://www.web2journal.com/read/565629.htm SOA is mostly associated with technologies such as BPEL, SCA and Web Services. But does SOA really imply these technologies? In this session we will show how you can use the service oriented approach while staying inside the Java world. jBPM is a powerful lightweight framework that can be used to orchestrate services in the broadest sense. It is highly extendable, very versatile and can be easily embedded in client and/or server applications. Attendees will learn how jBPM can be used in a pure workflow scenario as well as in a situation involving automated business steps. http://java.sys-con.com/read/106071.htm SYS-CON.TV is unique multimedia resource - enabled by Flash video -bringing you timely interviews, news, expert panels, and features on all that's new and all that's best among i-Technology products and services. http://opensource.sys-con.com/read/569402.htm GlassFish Open Source Application Server for Java EE 5 Now Available as a Click Installable Application Service in VPS Plans http://java.sys-con.com/read/563623.htm "When was the last time you heard about a cool web app that wasn't written in Rails or PHP?" asks Chris Keene (pictured), CEO of WaveMaker, in an article published today at SYS-CON.com. "OK, people still build lots of cool stuff in Java," Keene continues, "but the love is gone and it's just a day job now." http://java.sys-con.com/read/561678.htm EnterpriseDB released a plug-in for Postgres Studio that creates an AJAX-enabled Java application based on a Postgres database table or schema. Postgres Studio is a graphical database administration console that is built on the widely admired pgAdmin foundation and only available as part of Postgres Plus. The plug-in generates Java source code, scripts, NetBeans, and Eclipse project files for screen-based applications that can create, read, update, and delete records in target Postgres databases. The plug-in extensively leverages the JBoss Seam Framework, creating a pre-configured Seam environment for Postgres Plus. http://java.sys-con.com/read/569514.htm Organizations are Now Beginning to Take a Closer Look at the Role of Unstructured Assets as Part of SOA http://www.smartmoney.com/home/buying/index.cfm?story=howmuch& So you've been browsing the real estate section, looking for your next home. Chances are, no matter where you live or what you're looking for, you're worried about home prices and whether or not you can really afford to move. http://www.itjungle.com/tug/tug051508-story03.html Way back when, in the dawn of time--well, about a decade ago when IBM first caught the Java bug and decided that this would be the language of choice on its commercial servers and their operating systems--the software engineering teams in Rochester, Minnesota, and Toronto, Ontario, worked diligently to take advantage of the 64-bit addressing that OS/400 had and that many Unixes of the time lacked. The idea was simple: If Java was going to be the imposed lingua franca for future application development, then OS/400 would speak it fluently--and fast. http://opensource.sys-con.com/read/566068.htm This is the story of a Mac application developer (okay its about two of them) who set out on a quest to find an application development tool based on Java so his boss would let him develop on the Mac platform, which he loved.

"No," he answers. ColdFusion is the fastest way to get data to AJAX, Flex, Silverlight, and even JavaFX, according to Powell, who adds: "ColdFusion also provides complex services easier than Java, .NET, Ruby or whatever wishes they could." http://elibrary.line56.com/detail/RES/1210105034_21.html Java performance monitoring is essential for developers to develop high-performance applications and identify performance bottlenecks as they occur. Without this level of monitoring, organizations are unable to gain insight into the scalability, memory efficiency and bottlenecks that arise throughout production and development. This can significantly limit developer productivity and Java application performance as a whole. http://virtualization.sys-con.com/read/566068.htm This is the story of a Mac application developer (okay its about two of them) who set out on a quest to find an application development tool based on Java so his boss would let him develop on the Mac platform, which he loved.

N-BRAIN, Inc. intends to definitively answer this question by sponsoring the Hydra Versus Dragon Coding Competition, a Reality TV-style battle between the world's finest software developers. http://websphere.sys-con.com/read/563601.htm At WaveMaker, we have hitched our wagon to Java so I hope very much that JavaOne is showing us the ghost of Java present, not the ghost of Java to come. The Sun promise to put Java runtimes everywhere is meaningless if nobody wants to develop for those runtimes. Adobe and Microsoft are doing a far better job making their tools simple enough for mere mortals and focusing on the presentation layer.
