Blarg #14: Why custom tags aren't worth your time: I'm sitting in on a J2EE training course, and it appears that custom tags are a waste of time. Hopefully you can save them.

Blarg #13: I think it is silly that your HelloWorld servlet produces static content: Why is it that the first servlet people teach is on that produces static content? HelloWorld.html is appropriate. HelloWorld.java is silly. I'm taking suggestions for the best dynamic, simple HelloWorld servlet idea.

GUI Design and SWT: For some time, I have been working on the GUI of a software that will be used internally at the company I work for. I faced some problems which are mostly related with internals of GUI design, not what is seen on the screen but how to organize the code to make it easy to understand, write bugfixes and make improvements on the software that is deeply connected with the GUI.

Securing Web-application state stored on the clients and a lesson in ease of development using cryptography: Web applications can store their state on the client to reduce the server-side overheads, as well as solve problems like navigating through the browser back button. In this blog, I discuss how various cryptographic mechanisms can be employed to secure this state. I also discuss a tip that the crypto library writers will, hopefully, use in the future to make crypo easy-to-use by regular Java developers.

Storing Secure Session State on The Client: In a J2EE based web application you have many ways of storing session state which include client-side cookies, the HttpSession object, an EJB, POJO, or database. There is another place to store session state securely which is in the HTML page itself using encrypted hidden form variables.

New Projects in the GELC for May 16th, 2005:

We have four new projects are in the Global Education and Learning Community (GELC). This week we have a project about optimization, a mind map for Java concepts, an open source factory modeler, and an IDE for the creation and study of Evolutionary Algorithms.

  • Evolution-Opt - A Framework to resolve combinatorial optimization problems
  • javamindmapped - Java Concepts Mind Mapped
  • OK - Open Knowledge, an Open Source Software Factory Model
  • unEvo - IDE for Evolutionary Algorithms

Read on for more information about these new projects. If you are interested in them, email the owners about what you know and ask how you can help.

Compiling MathML with JAXB 2.0: This morning I saw that one of our beloved JAXB users :-) is having a trouble compiling MathML with JAXB 2.0. This is the record of my trouble-shooting this, in the hope that this will be useful to others who face similar issues in MathML or other schemas.

Indigo Duplex Bindings: Indigo duplex bindings enable a bi-directional communication between client and service endpoint. This entry explains, along with source code and generated code, how duplex binding can be achieved. I still do not understand the complete magic though, yet!

JXME on CDC? maybe closer than you think: In anticipation of JSR 218 reference implementations becoming available soon, the JXME protocol is being updated to provide JXTA edge functionality over CDC 1.1 and the foundation profile.
