We recently delivered a big integration project using the best of both worlds. 1) Spring Portlet MVC - cause we have to deal with Portlet (don't ask) 2) JAX-RS client-side - Portlet talks to GlassFish via JAX-RS 3) JAX-RS server-side - Glas

In some fields, given a CIO title is akin to being demoted. Nobody wants to be the head of the IT operations because the money is somewhere else (sales and marketing). Some people argue that IT provides efficiency and in some cases increase

I used Yelp in the past to check out menus not their reviews. I typically prefer to read reviews from various articles/blogs. Sometimes both me and my wife would just go out and be adventurous a little bit to try new places or new ethnic fo

Whether you're developing for high-trafficked web-apps or not, I believe the practice of Continuous Integration has become a common bare-minimum these days. The tricky part when it comes to CI often occurs in the area of test automation, ar

Somehow I met more Java shops with stronger revenue and a more solid future compare the rest. I've been using JavaEE 6 (with Spring MVC) for a while and I believe it has improved a lot (and a lot simpler) compared to the previous versions a

Would you mind to provide examples of B2B software that we rarely heard of? I have interest in B2B more than B2C occasionally but don't really have a lot of domain knowledge. Would you happen to know a few general tricks how or where to get
