• UPDATED: Web Beans Webinar

  On May 19th, Pete Muir, JSF 2.0 Expert Group member and Web Beans implementation lead (if I recall correctly) will be leading, in conjunction with The Aquarium, a webinar covering the forthcoming Java Contexts and Dependency Injection JSR (JSR-299, formerly known by the JSR’s former name, Web Beans). Unfortunately, that’s right in the middle of the Oklahoma City JUG’s meeting, so I can’t make it, especially since I’m this month’s speaker. For those of you that won’t be attending the OKC JUG tomorrow, this should be a good session on a great spec. I hope to catch the recording. Not as good as attending live, but it’s all I’ll be able to manage.

  Dan Allen was nice enough to point out that I misread the announcement, which means OKC people can hear me talk AND attend this webinar. Win win! (win! ; )

• Seam, WebBeans and GlassFish

  For some time now, Sun has made use of Ustream.TV to broadcast webinars covering various topics of interest to GlassFish users.  That effort continues on November 20th at 11am PST as Eduardo Pelegri-Llopart hosts Dan Allen, author of Seam in Action to discuss Seam, WebBeans, and GlassFish.  Some of WebBeans' companion specs (EJB 3.1 and JSF 2) will also be covered by spec leads Ken Saks and Roger Kitain, respectively.  For more information, see this page on Sun’s wiki. To catch previous broadcasts on The Aquarium’s Ustream.TV channel, you can go directly there.

• A Seam+JPA/Hibernate on OC4J Maven 2 Archetype

  As a follow-up to my entry on getting a Seam and JPA/Hibernate application running on OC4J, I now have an alpha release of a Maven 2 archetype available for use and testing, with heavy emphasis on testing.

• OC4J Seam Archetype Update

  Well, that wasn’t hard. I think I have the redeploy issue fixed, and a shared library was the trick.

• Seam and JPA/Hibernate on OC4J 10.1.3

  On a recent project, the architecture we settled on included JavaServer Faces (no surprise, there, I guess:), JBoss Seam and JPA. The production environment is Oracle’s OC4J, so the stack we chose has to deploy (easily) to that container. While I did get it working, it wasn’t easy, nor was it easily reproducible. Now that the pressures of deadlines have passed, I took the time to track down what exactly needs to be done to make the application deploy and run on OC4J. In retrospect, it doesn’t look that hard, but, knowing the pain I went through to make it work, I thought I’d share what you need to know if you’re in a similar situation.
