Copying data from Struts ActionForm to ValueObject: Easing the pain: When was the last time you manually copied data from a Struts Form into a Value Object? Copying data from one object to another is typically achieved with Commons BeanUtils. However if the source and target object have different structure and different attribute names, BeanUtils cannot do much. That's where you will fnd OTOM framework helpful. OTOM lets you graphically map one class to another in a Swing UI and create napping metadata. The mapping source code can be then generated using an Ant task at build time. Sounds useful..? Take a look - http://otom.dev.java.net

The Same Big Things: The techno-clairvoyants have been strangely quiet of late... so I am left on my own to predict what "The Next Big Thing" is going to be. I think that one "Big Thing" will be to put the "P" in COBOL: a Common Business Process Oriented Language.

Project Jatse - An open source set of tools for teaching, learning and playing with algebra.:

Project Jatse, is an open source tool targeted at the mathematics used in high school, although these classes can be extended to cover either more or less advanced math. The project is currently in its initial release on java.net within the Global Education and Learning Community (GELC). Read on for more information on this project, its owner, and what the future plans are.

TSSJS Impressions - We won; Now what do we do?: I had intended to write a running blog at the TSSJS, but that didn't happen. Initially, technical glitches with my PDA and the wireless network held me back, but as I began to attend sessions and talk with my peers I found myself at a loss to effectively blog my impressions.

New Open Source Projects in the Global Education and Learning Community (GELC):

We have four new projects in the Global Education and Learning Community (GELC). This time we have a prompter system for English and Turkish, healthcare framework, a simulation of Unix, and a remote desktop controller for a J2ME cell phone. Take a look at the descriptions below and click on the links to join these projects and help out.

  • BelletMen - An English-Turkish Prompter System
  • javahealth - A framework and toolset to facilitate building healthcare-related applications. Includes a library to manage healthcare concepts and processes and an architecture to build information sharing applications, as well as some basic (but functional) implementations.
  • JEmuX attempts to be a simulation of a common UNIX environment that runs as a normal Java application.

zemberek - Turkish NLP library and Turkish Spell Checking:

Zemberek is one of the very interesting projects oriented around the Turkish language and subjects like Natural Language Processing and even spell checking for Turkish. This open source project is something we really like seeing here within the Global Education and Learning Community (GELC) because of its international base. The project leaders themselves are also located in two different countries! I talked to the owners about themselves and the future of their project.

Project profile: Liber - Projects for Electronic Documents, human interface, and information retrieval.:

Liber is a research laboratory at Pernambuco's Federal University developing projects about EDMS (Electronic Document Management System), Human-Machine Interface, Information Retrieve and Data Integration. The Liber project within the Global Education and Learning Community has graduated from the incubator so I talked with its owner to find out about himself and the future direction of the project.

Looking for Tapestry Examples? They're here in the Global Education and Learning Community:

Tapestry seems to be one of the latest technologies coming out of the Apache/Jakarta community that is gaining steam. Tapestry lets you build web applications with objects, methods and properties instead of URLs and query parameters. But like many open source projects, it needs a little help. In order to fill the documentation and understanding gap, John Reynolds (johnreynolds@dev.java.net) started the TapestryWebComponentExamples project in the Global Education and Learning Community (GELC).

Project Profile : JActionGroup2 a project for J2EE, Spring and other technologies plus Chinese translations:

JActionGroup2has several different aspects from rapid development with J2E to using the Spring framework for presentation, an information platform using Spring, Ibatis, and Webwork. It also includes an all-purpose ACL model with AOP , web layer caching with caching (on Webwork). On top of all this, because the owner is in Shanghai, there is a translation of documentation from English to Chinese. Take a look at this great project.
