Portable client application with locally packaged WSDL: In the JAX-WS programming model to develop a web services client you would compile the deployed WSDL using wsimport and then at runtime the same WSDL is used to determine binding information. The runtime accesses the WSDL over the network, but sometimes because of the size of the WSDL or for whatever reason (such as you want to edit it to fix workaround some bug, dangerous but we do it sometimes) you may like to keep the WSDL locally and would expect the runtime to access the local wsdl. It does not happen automatically. There are the different ways in which you can provide the local WSDL information to the JAX-WS runtime

Extending the NetBeans Tutorial JSF-JPA-Hibernate Application, Part 2 - Enabling JMX Monitoring on Hibernate v3 and Ehcache 1.3.0 on "HibernateTutorialApp": Apart from showing quite an example of easy enhancement of JSF-based web application as discussed earlier in "Extending the NetBeans Tutorial JSF-JPA-Hibernate Application, Part 1 - Co-ordinating Query Views Based on Parameter Passing from JSF View to Managed Bean", the NetBeans tutorial JSF-JPA-Hibernate application created ('SimpleJpaHibernateApp') can also be easily extended to demonstrate JMX monitoring on Hibernate v3 and the latest Ehcache 1.3.0 - the respective very common open source Java object/relational persistence and caching implementations, which have also included support for JMX to enable monitoring on their operational states and statistics, including the overall (e.g. query and 2nd level cache) cache hit/miss statistics, time of the slowest query (from Hibernate v3), and individual cache hit/miss statistics (from Ehcache 1.3.0).

SalutafugiJMS -- Java Messaging Service on ZeroConf: SalutafugiJMS is a peer-to-peer implementation of the Java Messaging Service specification that uses ZeroConf DNS-SD discovery and TCP sockets to communicate in a distributed computing system. Name the JMS Queues and Topics for information your system needs to exchange. Your system consumes what your system needs. Your system sends out what it chooses. SalutafugiJMS takes care of the rest, leaving your system very loosely coupled.
