Spring Framework Seminar November 14-15 Boston, MA

Posted September 14, 2009 - 9:50pm by Stephen Evanchik

The Greater Boston Chapter of the ACM is hosting a SpringFramework professional development seminar on the weekend of November 14-15.

In this two day event, Craig Walls and Ken Sipe will be your guides to Spring. You'll start by learning the principles of Dependency Injection and AOP, the basis of much of Spring's power. Then you'll see how to employ Spring in building enterprise applications that are maintainable, testable, and efficient. The weekend will conclude by giving you an opportunity to openly ask any questions that you may have about Spring.

Whether you're already working with Spring or are just getting started, you'll leave this weekend equipped with greater understanding of Spring and new tricks and techniques that you can begin applying immediately to your projects

Completing the JMX service registration and sorting view contents

Posted July 19, 2009 - 9:35pm by Stephen Evanchik

I spent a little time using the Bundle and Services views today to see how well they worked. It turns out that I had a little problem with the Karaf data feeds not updating properly. The OSGi JMX MBean interfaces do not seem to support the NotificationEmitter interface so there is no way to asynchronously update the data.

This isn't terrible since I just wrapped the data update in an Eclipse system job that runs every 25 seconds. The down side is that the viewer refresh invalidates your selection because it wipes the source data completely. Some day when I am motivated I'll try and fix it.

Finished instrumenting the running Karaf platform

Posted July 19, 2009 - 12:30am by Stephen Evanchik

I just finished a really cool feature (three really!) for the Eclipse Integration for Karaf.

First, I have nearly finished the JMX integration (pesky connection management!) and have the ability to asynchronously pull out whatever information is available.

New EIK Feature: Karaf Target Platform Provisioner

Posted July 16, 2009 - 11:09pm by Stephen Evanchik

A quick update to the Eclipse Integration for Karaf project.

I just added an Eclipse Target Platform Provisioning wizard. This makes it very easy to add external Karaf installations to your PDE target platform without the aggravation of having to add all of those directories manually.

Pictures are much better than words.

Eclipse Integration for Karaf now on FUSE Forge!

Posted July 12, 2009 - 11:03am by Stephen Evanchik

After a couple weeks of solid progress I am finally able to share several updates on the project. First, I am migrating development to FUSE Forge where I will be maintaining the Eclipse Integration for Karaf project!

This is great because I am going to be developing alongside some great projects in the Karaf and ServiceMix community. FUSE Forge is run by Progress Software as part of their Open Integration strategy.
