Now, two years later, GlassFishhas evolved into much more than just an Open Source application server for JavaEE5. Using add-ons like OpenSSO, Hudson, Metro and OpenESB, GlassFish becomes arobust and highly scalable application […]
0 0 One of our recent buisiness cases required the availability of graph representations of data in an application generated with JHeadstart. At first I started out with JFreeChart and ChartCreator, until my colleague and former JHeadstart team memeber Peter Ebell advised me to use the graph generation capabilities of JHeadstart. The […]
0 0 About a year ago Frank Nimphius wrote this weblog article about using a rich text editor called openWYSIWYG in ADF applications. Recently we encountered the need for such an editor in one of our ADF applications. I found Franks article quite useful. However, I also found that I needed to […]
0 0 The application that resulted from my previous article on Maven, Netbeans and GlassFish uses Hibernate for JPA and Facelets for JSF. This is an ideal situation to make the move to Seam. In the past few weeks I have spent some time on using Seam in GlassFish applications but I […]
0 0 Over the past weeks I have been exploring the possibilities of Maven, Netbeans and GlassFish. Two of my previous blog entries explain the basics of using Maven in Netbeans and how to deploy to GlassFish. By default, GlassFish uses Toplink Essentials for JPA. Also, Netbeans by default uses jsp files […]
0 0 Yesterday I wrote an article about Building Enterprise Applications for GlassFish using Netbeans 6.0 (Beta 2) and Maven2. The article explains how to setup your Netbeans projects to be able to generate an EAR file that can be deployed to GlassFish V2. The one thing missing from that article is […]
0 0 A few weeks ago an article appeared in the Netbeans Knowledge Base about how to get started with GlassFish V2, Maven2 and Netbeans 6.0. It is a great article doing exactly what the title says: getting you started with Maven2 in Netbeans 6.0 and deploying the project thus created to […]

0 0 One of the first things OOo developers learn is to make sure the juh.jar, jurt.jar, ridl.jar, sandbox.jar and unoil.jar files should be on the classpath and should be in the original directory they were installed in while installing OOo. On a Windows machine, this directory is C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.0\program and […]
0 0 With Java EE 5 being final, application servers need to be upgraded to support features like EJB 3.0. In some cases, loading the Java EE 5 jars may be sufficient. But in most cases a fully Jave EE 5 compliant application server is needed. Enters Glassfish, the free, open source […]
