Funky Object Initialization

Jason Lee 2011-10-25

I've been using a technique a lot, recently, for initializing an object a bit more succinctly. It looks pretty odd, I'll admit, enough so that it really caught a coworker of mine off guard. If you've been reading my recent REST posts, you've seen this a few times. I like it a lot, so I thought I'd a take a quick look at it.

GlassFish REST Client - ComplexExample.java

Jason Lee 2011-10-25

In a series of recent posts , I've shown off what the GlassFish 4.0 REST client wrappers should look like, giving simple examples of using the wrappers using both Java and Python, the two currently supported languages. In this post, we'll take a look at a more complex example, that of setting up clusters and standalone instances, deploying an app, then cleaning up after ourselves. Let's jump right in.

GlassFish REST Client Goes to the Flying Circus

It happened a bit more quickly than I had planned, and, yes, I know that's a pretty bad Python joke, but, as promised , I just committed code to add support for generating Python REST clients to the GlassFish RESTful Administration interface. Let's take a quick look at it.

GlassFish REST Interface, a Client-side Perspective

Jason Lee 2011-10-03

As I've covered here before, GlassFish sports (and has for a while now), a pretty comprehensive set of management and monitoring REST endpoints. While this goes a long way toward opening up GlassFish management to various scripting solutions, the client side is still pretty manual. One my goals in GlassFish 4.0 is to fix that. In this article, I'm going to give you a sneak peak into what we on the REST team have planned for the GlassFish RESTful administration interface.

A Quick (and oh so Brief) Look at a Windows 8 Developer Build

Jason Lee 2011-09-15

Call me crazy, but I tried Windows 8, albeit a developer build. An entry in my feed reader from TechBargains showed up announcing a free download of a Windows 8 developer build. It was free, so I figured it couldn't hurt to check it out. After the 4G+ download, I was ready to create my VirtualBox Windows 8 VM, which I did this morning. It may not last long.
