A week full of milestones

We will go for acceptance tests for eNets project, and Mides is being deployed for testing.
Character encoding problems and a few other bugs remain to be solved.

A hardware mulfunction

costs us half a day. It was a DB2 living on machine, no backups as it was setup at the weekend. Electricity is the suspected. Things are going slower than i want.

Todays recipe:

Apache Commons HttpClient,
configure it work with session management,
configure it work thru SSL.
We are on a tight schedule. Basically i want to mail a stateful page as html.
The only way i can think of is read the page like a stranger. Does servlet api let you collect a execution result and use it? i dont think so, not without hacking anyway.. i dont have that time and luxury.

Here we go !

I am helping build a struts based web application these days, and support for Struts at IBM tools(WSAD) is pretty good. Add Struts Unit Tests to the equation we have a solid ground for development.
For Model objects standard JUnit will suffice.
For templating support we use tiles which integrates with Struts so well

Hello again

After a long time i am back with news

• I am working for Cybersoft for a while..


• I've got a new car now.

The work is great learning experience..
Cybersoft has a great reputation and experience of doing software development.. Established standards makes great software.

Right now i a trying to figure out best practices for wiring web applications with Struts-Tiles, and our own Persistence Model.

The company uses a closed framework called Aurora, to create Rich internet applications, based on XML definitions and service orientec architecture.. so JSP/HTML front end is relatively new and unexplored area which i pioneer.

That's all folks for now.. I will not keep this blog hungry.. i promise to myself..

test..

i have formatted my pc yesterday, i am back today. thanks to proper planning i have not lost a single byte. here are a few things to keep in mind.
