[Tutorial] Twittering from Java with Twitter4J

pmularien — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 12:18:09 +0000

Really, this is so easy it’s almost not worthy of a blog post. Twitter4J is a tiny library wrapping interaction with Twitter APIs. Creating a new tweet is as simple as: Twitter twitter = new Twitter("username","password"); Status status = twitter.update(title); The Twitter4J page has a series of simple examples covering timelines [...]

Rerouting Spring Security 2 Login Page Through a Spring Controller

pmularien — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 05:13:25 +0000

Interestingly, a month or so after I posted my 5 Minute Guide to Spring Security 2, a commonly asked question was asked on the Spring forums. I figured I’d address it here, because (once again in Spring/Acegi Security integration) the answer wasn’t really obvious. Essentially, the question goes something like this: The examples I can find using [...]

How Open Source is Spring?: An Analytical Investigation

pmularien — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 13:29:39 +0000

This post is to expand on some of the thoughts I posted on the SpringSource Blog in response to Rod Johnson’s excellent description of the SpringSource business model and its commitment to development of open source software. Now that SpringSource has shown an ability to crank out new product releases on a seemingly weekly basis, I [...]

Corporate Blog Post: “Why and How to Bring Legacy Applications to the Web”

pmularien — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 12:52:29 +0000

Cross-posting here in case any of my regular readers are interested. I made my first post to the Edgewater Corporate Blog on the subject of moving legacy applications to the web. It’s not really technical, but gives more of a high level view of some of the (many) considerations I (and others) have run into. [...]

When will the SpringSource blog spam end?

pmularien — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 09:58:35 +0000

Since I spend a lot of time working with Spring, one of the many blogs in my daily read list is the SpringSource Team Blog, both articles and comments. I have gotten really tired, however, of the constant SEO spammers hitting the SpringSource blog. It’s unfortunate that with SpringSource’s multi-million dollar funding rounds ($15M raised [...]

FYI: Eclipse 3.4 (”Ganymede”) + Hibernate IDE = NoClassDefFoundError

pmularien — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 05:36:16 +0000

A heads up in case anyone is thinking about using these together. Currently (Aug 18, 2008), the release version of Hibernate IDE (aka the Hibernate Eclipse plugin) does not work with Eclipse 3.4 (”Ganymede”) without one of 2 things: Unjarring, copying, and rejarring a file from Eclipse 3.3 Using the Hibernate IDE Nightly Update Site Discussion for this [...]

Stupid IE 6 Bug #182478: Check boxes added through Javascript aren’t checked

pmularien — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 02:44:05 +0000

Straightforward explanation and solution of the IE checkbox bug here. Just ran into this goofy issue recently. So, if you set the ‘checked’ attribute on a checkbox before it’s part of the DOM, in IE 6, the checkbox will not actually be checked. Brilliant! Solution: Set the checked attribute after adding the node to the DOM Set the [...]

[Opinion] Every Efficient Developer Should Know…

… unix command-line tools, specifically for text processing. One of the most important learning experiences of my career was sitting down as part of my work at the CIIR and actually reading (cover to cover!) O’Reilly’s seminal book, sed and awk: I followed up with a book on Unix shell scripting, and have literally used this [...]

5 Minute Guide to Spring Security

pmularien — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 02:02:21 +0000

Although I’ve used Acegi Security in the past, I hadn’t tried it since it was renamed Spring Security and folded into the Spring Portfolio. I decided to approach its integration into a typical Spring web application with the eyes of a new user and write up my notes as a 5 minute guide to Spring [...]
