Last week Stephane Epardaud and Nicolas Leroux, senior software developers at Lunatech Research, presented “Nouvelles technologies de développement en JEE” at the Forum des Professions Informatique 2008 in Nice.

The conference was organised by the University of Nice and it was rather pleasant to discuss with the students and other I.T. professionals. Thanks again for the invitations.

This is also the start of a new Open Source project that will be used as a show case for new technologies (JBoss Seam, JPA, EJB 3, Hibernate Search, etc…). The project is available here. We will try to write some nice tutorials and articles about it. More to come on this web, so keep posted.

In the meantime, you can download the presentation slides in French (PDF, 0.5 Mb).

You can send your comments nicolas+fip@lunatech.com.

We would like to invite you to our fourth Benelux JBoss User Group meeting: an afternoon of free technical sessions presented by JBoss developers.

The JBoss User Group is growing and even our last location is now too small, so once again we arranged something special: we will meet in the Staal Zaal in Rotterdam. i-Portal Rotterdam has kindly agreed to sponsor the event by providing us with a sumptuous room.

Abstract

This article talks about the process of validation in Java EE, more specifically about Hibernate Validation and Bean Validation. We start by describing why we need validation, what solutions are available, how we use them and why they are great. We then proceed to describe their limitations, and offer proposals for resolving those limitations in the hope that the future Bean Validation standard will incorporate our (or similar) solutions.

This article describes how we implemented RESTful web services in our Seam-based Java EE web application.

After Nicolas and I said that ‘Seam is the next Struts’ in our JavaPolis presentation, Max told us that ‘Gavin will hate that’, which is funny because of how it takes our statement out of context. This article is the context.

JBoss Seam is a Java EE application framework whose many roles can make it hard to introduce and explain. It turns out that the European Union (EU) is a good metaphor for Seam, and not just for the humour-value. (more…)

Several Lunatech Research employees will be at JavaPolis in Antwerp this week, starting with Peter Hilton and Nicolas Leroux who did a Seam In Action presentation on the first day.

We will also be hanging around the JBoss stand from time to time to promote the Benelux JBoss User Group, meet people and drink the odd beer, so do say hello if you see us there or at the Magic Potion Party.

This article explains how to do programmatic log in, in a Seam 1.2.1 application. If like us, you want to allow your users to change their credentials once they are logged in into your application, you might be forced to log them out and to ask them to re-login. There is a nicer way to do this.

Since the first event was so much fun, Lunatech Research hosted the second JBoss Benelux User Group meeting on 2 November 2007, with a presentation by Bruno Georges. (more…)
