I’m attending some tech conferences in the Java space for several years now; for the last years I’m trying to push JCR, Apache Jackrabbit, and Apache Sling at various occasions – mostly through several talks. It seems to me that there is a change/increase in interest for these topics.
While two years ago, people have not [...]
Apache Sling allows you to use scripts to render your content. Usually these scripts are stored in the repository as specific path. While it is possible to directly edit a script in the repository (using WebDAV), this editing happens out of your project’s context. But fortunately there is a better way!
Usually your project consists of [...]
This year the number one Java conference in Germany, the JAX 09, is great as always. With nearly the same number of attendees it’s crowded in the positive sense – although you have to go to a session in time to get a good seat. I’ve seen a lot of highlights today – but first [...]
If you’re attending the ApacheCon Europe in Amsterdam in two weeks and if you’re interested in portals or portal related stuff (and I guess we all are interested into portals, right?), then you should join the portals meetup and add yourself here.
Even if you’re not into portals but are interested in visiting a zoo, there [...]
In just two weeks the conference season for 2009 starts. This spring I’ll speak at the ApacheCon in Amsterdam about OSGi and some of the stuff we have at Apache for using OSGi within your own project.
Later, in April, it’s JAX time again – and again with a new location. My talk for the JAX [...]
In the last months I had the nice and interesting opportunity to try out several portal servers – ranging from open source to the big commercial ones. As a summary upfront, the first time experience of nearly all solutions is REALLY ANNOYING; in some cases it’s unbelievable how poor and confusing everything is. Just as [...]
OSGi is today used in many places, for desktop applications, complex application servers and even for web applications. But what about portlets?
In the last weeks I developed some portlets for our product offerings. The portlets allow you to display, edit and manage content inside a JSR 286 (portlet API 2.0) compliant portal server. As our [...]
It’s over We spent 15 beautiful days on the islands (Oahu, Kaui, Big Island, and Maui) and it really was a remarkable vacation. There’s a lot to see and each island is different. But…sigh…that’s over now.
Yesterday night we started our long trip back home and now arrived at LAX. Later today we’ll fly [...]
ApacheCon is over – as you can read everywhere it was – as always – a great conference. Congratulations to everyone involved! For some reason or the other I couldn’t enjoy it this time as much as the last times, but that’s how things are sometimes.
In addition my wife and I have a very tight [...]
Hurray, I’m finished with my Richards talk about OSGi and Apache Felix. I’m very happy and proud to step in for Richard who originally submitted this talk and got accepted but wasn’t able to attend.
I think, in the end it went very well, there were several intesting questions and it seems that the interest in [...]
