With the JBoss JAX-RS implementation RESTEasy reaching version 1.0.1.GA I have finally managed to switch over from Jersey. Because my latest project has got all internal services and framework components represented as a JBossMC beans I needed a simple way how to export them directly as Restful resources without requiring any unnecessary boiler plate [...]
Building the services using JBoss Microcontainer isn’t complicated at all; create necessary classes and wire them together using XML descriptor or couple of annotations. But unless you’re building just a very simple components, you might want to be able to hide the implementation and expose only the special interface (public) beans to the outside [...]
UPDATE 28-05-2009 – Release of JBoss AS 5.1 has made this blog post obsolete and because I don’t longer feel any urgency nor think that is appropriate to comment on RedHat release or quality control process I’ve decided to retract the text.
JBoss Seam provides excellent support for mapping of the managed entities back and forth between the select items and the actual entities. Tag s:convertEntity supplies JSF converter which renders option values and consequently translate them back, using Entity Loader (either Hibernate Session or EntityManager), to the appropriate entity. Whole process relies on the provision of [...]
Throughout the last three years and especially after publishing my post JBoss minimal configuration with Tomcat I’ve been asked many times what is actually the idea behind JBoss AS Minimal Configuration profile.
So what exactly you’ll get with following command?
./run.sh -c minimal
As the name implies, minimal profile consists only from bare configuration set needed to start [...]
For proof of concept I needed to deploy large number of servlet containers. Because I’m lazy and most of the code for main application has already been written for JBoss AS (including Login modules and set of custom services) I really didn’t want to use standalone Jetty or Tomcat. To use different solution for [...]
For a long time mod_jk has been preferred Apache HTTPD plug-in that allowed integration with Tomcat’s JK connectors. It’s certainly perfect solution and still the recommended one for mission critical and highly loaded scenarios.
In case your setup is more relaxed and you looking to do first setup with AJP, there is another solution – mod_proxy. [...]
An important characteristic of every framework is a level of possible extensibility. JBoss Seam scores top marks in this perspective. Reason for it is simple. The main goal, to introduce consistent programming model that will make various frameworks to work together, is not just promoted for application developer, but also used through-out Seam itself. So [...]
Either setting up clustered environment for development/testing, need to isolate different application, or necessity of running different version of JBoss AS on the same machine. No matter what is the reason for running multiple instances of JBoss AS, for most users it’s quite a daunting task. Most common technique how to achieve it is complicated [...]
