Have your application call my application, Part 1: Apache Geronimo communication basics -- developing, deploying, and testing


Have your application call my application, Part 1: Apache Geronimo communication basics -- developing, deploying, and testing
Apache Geronimo includes a top-notch messaging implementation alongside a world-class Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) implementation, making message-driven beans (MDBs) available for your application. That means other components can interact with your application using messaging as long as the proper resource adapter is in place. This tutorial series chronicles the creation of a Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) application in which users, administrators, and even other applications can interact using MDBs by sending an e-mail to the Java Apache Mail Enterprise Server (also known as Apache James), which then communicates back to Geronimo using a J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA) resource adapter.

Build an SOA framework with Apache Geronimo and POJOs


Build an SOA framework with Apache Geronimo and POJOs
Developing software without regard to the application program interface (API) constraints enforced by libraries and frameworks is an appealing proposition. This lure has led many to accept the paradigm of Plain Old Java Object (POJO) programming -- the idea that you should be able to develop software on the Java platform without being required to use superfluous interfaces or third-party APIs. The Apache Geronimo framework provides a solid infrastructure for POJO development to build sophisticated applications and services. Discover some of the components and techniques of the Geronimo framework that you can use to realize successful service-oriented development using POJO tactics.

Create an Eclipse game plug-in, Part 3: Gaming the system


Create an Eclipse game plug-in, Part 3: Gaming the system
Although most users think of Eclipse as an integrated development environment for building Java technology applications, it is really something much more basic. Eclipse is a framework for building plug-ins, allowing you to extend its functionality to solve nearly any problem -- just by leveraging a set of APIs and readily available libraries. In this four-part "Create an Eclipse game plug-in" tutorial series, you will solve a pressing problem most programmers encounter daily: how to break away to play a quick video game without switching applications and making it obvious. You'll develop a simple game that will read the bugs entered on the a view and blast them to bits. The game will run inside Eclipse as a plug-in, that will demonstrate how to write to the Eclipse API, while using the Standard Widget Toolkit, the Open Graphics Library, and the Lightweight Java Games Library. Part 3 games the system up with collision detection between the bugs and BBs, destroying the bugs.

Deploy OpenLaszlo apps on Apache Geronimo with Tomcat


Deploy OpenLaszlo apps on Apache Geronimo with Tomcat
With the rise of the popular rich user interface (UI) language, OpenLaszlo, and the parallel rise of Apache Geronimo, OpenLaszlo developers will want to deploy their applications on Geronimo. This tutorial documents the process necessary to configure the internals of Apache Tomcat within Geronimo to be able to run the OpenLaszlo application server, and hence deploy and run OpenLaszlo applications within Geronimo. You'll implement a sample OpenLaszlo application to prove the functionality of the OpenLaszlo application server running on Apache Geronimo.

Secrets of lightweight development success, Part 8: Seaside
Continuations, or high-level programming abstractions, are often seen as academic toys, but a new breed of Web server can make the average developer much more productive. Continuation servers let you support the Back button in Web browsers and code with a more consistent programming style. Developers the world over recognize Seaside as the top existing continuation server, but Seaside does much more than continuations.

Make your Eclipse applications richer with view linking
Views in a rich GUI enhance the user experience by displaying information in a variety of ways. By their very nature, UI views depend on other views and need to interact. Eclipse makes it easy to link the UI views and provides ways to adapt view linking to non-UI scenarios.

Isolated unit testing of persistence with Derby
Get help developing your database-driven unit-testing skills. Without isolation and automation, database-driven unit tests can become a maintenance nightmare of sporadic failures and bad test data. The open source Apache Derby database is ideal for completely automating and isolating unit tests, because it offers fast, in-process performance and zero administration. This tutorial gives you step-by-step examples on using Derby to write effective and maintainable unit tests that improve the quality of your application.

Automate your team's build and unit-testing process
Extreme programming and agile methods recommend that the development process include continuous integration and unit testing. A pragmatic way to support these practices is to set up an automated system to build and test the latest version of your source code every time it changes. This article guides you through the practical issues involved in setting up your own Linux-based build server for Java projects.
