Pat Niemeyer commented on Daniel Leuck's blog post 'C# 4: Dynamic Types, Variance & Named Arguments'
These look very useful. ActionScript has the dynamic invocation features of course, since it's crawling up to static types from being purely dynamic. It also has the optional and named parameters in exactly the same way. What it is lacking is the ...

This is a completely different issue from the declarative vs. visual building. But what you are saying is that views never have any logic and they are always static building blocks to be assembled by controllers. This may be true of simple views, ...

It's not just about the UI... MXML is an entire declarative complement to ActionScript... It allows you to do the parts of your app that make sense in a declarative context in XML... both GUI elements and non GUI. I think you may be thinking of e...

"Freezer" looks it does something very similar: http://code.google.com/p/gwt-freezedry/.

I was also excited to see that it supports JPA with real transactions! There are some limitations, but this is a big improvement over, for example, Amazon's SimpleDB... at least in terms of the API.

I've been thinking of going with Amazon EC2. This sweetens the deal. But has anyone tried out www.gogrid.com?

The EC2 option just keeps getting better. I'll be interested to see how Rackspace's new cloud platform stacks up.

So Pat, once I used freemarker instead of jsp's, and found it more enjoyable to work with although there were some annoyances. Would that break the proposed stack?

Amazon EC2 cloud computing got much cheaper today...

Today Amazon introduced "reserved instance" pricing for users who tend to run long lived instances.

The usual pricing for a small instance is $0.10 per cpu-hour, which works out to about $73/month if you keep your instance alive 24x7.

With the reserved pricing you can pay a fixed amount for a term of 1 year or 3 years and get a reduced hourly usage rate of $.03 per cpu-hour For 1 year the up front fee is $325, for 3 years it's $500.

If you run your instance all the time I believe that works o… Continue

Browser SSL attacks presented at Black Hat...

Moxie Marlinspike gave a presentation titled: "New Tricks for Defeating SSL in Practice" at the Black Hat conference last week and released code that demonstrates practical, man in the middle based, attacks on browser security.

The results are a bit depressing, but not entirely new or unexpected. The attacks that he presented in the talk mostly skirt around SSL and while they appear to be ef… Continue

A End to End Walk through our Java Stack...



In this post I will take a walk through our preferred Java application stack from end to end, noting what I consider to be some useful practices along the way. While it's a never ending process to re-evaluate packages and tools as time goes on, I have found that this basic architecture has held up quite well for many years. We've used it on numerous large commercial applications ranging from critical banking and finance apps to high volume entertainment sites. I'm not going to try to g… Continue

Simpler and Speedier GWT with Server Side RPC Serialization

In this post I will describe how we are using server side GWT RPC serialization at Ikayzo to both improve performance and simplify client code logic.

First, let's have a quick recap of the normal startup sequence of a GWT application. As depicted below, it begins with the client requesting an HTML page containing a GWT script reference and static application text. All that is required in this initial page is a one line script that includes the GWT application's "nocache" file. The job o… Continue

Hey Pat - Check out how easy it is to build object graphs using C# 3.0's object initializers. Groovy builders are very similar and Jython supports easy graph building via named arguments to constructors. Java needs something like this, especially for Swing programming.
