Programming in the Small
I believe that successful application development today is about 'tweaks and sub-features', not major functionality. But my thought process for this post was kicked off by an interesting post by Mike Taylor: 'Whatever happened to programming?' Mike laments the evolution of programming. He is nostalgic for the day when writing a program was about creating something from scratch, instead of...

Practice Software Patterns – Component Patterns
The first time that someone taught me about Software Design Patterns it went something like this: Them: "… and so that is the pattern." Me: "That's it" Them: "Well, yeah."

The IDE, Reloaded
Here is a very interesting take on the concept of Integrated Development Environment. As opposed to traditional IDE's, which work at the same level as the Java language itself (classes and packages), this IDE, called Code Bubbles, allows you to work at a much finer granularity: methods, fragments of code and whatever you need for the resolution of a specific task. All these tasks are linked to...

Apache News: 19 March 2009 - Apache CXF 2.2 released
The Apache CXF team is proud to announce the availability of the 2.2 release.
Apache CXF is an open source services framework. CXF helps you build and develop services using frontend programming APIs, like JAX-WS. These services can speak a variety of protocols such as SOAP, XML/HTTP, RESTful HTTP, or CORBA and work over a variety of transports such as HTTP, JMS or JBI. CXF includes a broad feature set, but it is primarily focused on the following
areas:
* Web Services Standards Support: CXF supports a variety of web service standards including SOAP, the WSI Basic Profile, WSDL, WS-Addressing, WS-Policy, WS-ReliableMessaging, and WS-Security.
* REST based service creation based on JAX-RS standard API's.
* Frontends: CXF supports a variety of "frontend" programming models. CXF provides a JAX-WS 2.1 Compliant frontend. It also includes a "simple frontend"which allows creation of clients and endpoints without annotations. CXF supports both contract first development with WSDL and code first development starting from Java.
* Ease of use: CXF is designed to be intuitive and easy to use. There are simple APIs to quickly build code-first services, Maven plug-ins to make tooling integration easy, JAX-WS API support, Spring 2.0 XML support to make configuration a snap, and much more.
What's new in CXF 2.2:
* WS-SecurityPolicy support
* WS-SecureConversation
* Some WS-Trust support (client side)
* JAX-RS 1.0 (not TCK compliant yet)
* MANY MANY bugfixes, performance enhancements, etc... Too numerous to list individually.
