Securing Spring WebFlow flows in under 500 lines of code

A client of ours I visited a couple of weeks ago had successfully prototyped Spring WebFlow security. The solution was pretty elegant, although when looking at it from a configuration perspective, it wasn’t entirely perfect. I offered to take over the code and help out with refactoring it so it could be integrated into their […]

Technology / nice folks / good food and too much beer: JavaPolis 2006

I got up early this morning to check my mail (wasn’t able to yesterday due to the all the busy-ness) in the hotel. Fortunately I have quite an okay hotel with working internet and towel that actually allow me to dry myself after getting a shower (okay Jon, I’ll quit whining about your choice of […]

Scored a goal, injured my arm and finished my slides: JavaPolis here we come!!

I’ll be giving a lecture on Spring next Tuesday. I just finished my slides and they’re pretty okay, if I may say so myself. I’ve packed them full with Spring 2.0 material, so if you’re into Spring development and would like to get the latest on Spring 2.0, don’t miss this one! We also have […]

after() throwing(Exception e) : serviceMethod() { mail(e); }

Okay, good you made it past the title. I was at a client that has been a long-time Spring user. Some of the client’s stuff needs a revision and as part of this revision Spring 2.0 AOP was introduced in some places. Today, for the group of developers I shortly touch on some of the […]

Using Spring 2.0 AOP to implement web-request interception

I was teaching another class yesterday and the focus was mostly on the web-tier. This is where we usually spend a lot of time on Spring Web MVC and Spring Web Flow and if the class is interested we also do a bit of Acegi Security (although in this half hour we’re only scratching the […]

Adrian Colyer to speak at NL-JUG / Spring 2.0 released

A small combined post about a couple of interesting events.
The first is already behind us. Last Tuesday we released Spring 2.0 and thanks to all the hard work of Juergen, Rob, Rick and many others, we have seen a lot of enthusiasm around this release already. Rod mentioned on his blog a couple of hours […]

Miscellaneous questions about Java / Spring & AspectJ

I’m in Paris at the moment, delivering a training session for a group of people here about the Spring Framework. During such a training students ask a lot of questions. Usually I just answer them but sometimes I have to put them aside to answer them later on.
This time, I thought, why not blog about […]

SpringOne? Yes, we have a bag as well, but

Although our conference bag will probably not be the coolest ever, we will definitely have a great time at SpringOne in about 3 weeks. There’s lots of cool stuff to cover in sessions that will be led by some people that have all gained great respect in their area of expertise and frankly speaking, that’s […]

Amsterdam Java Meetup (30th of June) and SpringOne

It’s that time of the year again. I was walking down the streets of Amsterdam last night and everybody was sitting outside. It’s the first hot day of the year and that’s when everybody gets out of their houses and starts drinking beer in the streets.
Java Meetup
It reminded that I still had to pick a […]
