Short update

Hi @all and a happy new year

Yeah, I know, it’s little bit late already, but I simply had no time to blog earlier. Too much to do with testing out Win7 and hacking java and vbscript…

Anyway, here are some new cool findings to check out:

Consider GlassFish ESB v2 for SOA Tooling (http://www.developer.com/services/article.php/3799641) for a good tutorial about GlassFish, NetBeans, ESB and BPEL

Bringing together .NET and Java

I just researched some bridging technologies for calling Win DLL/Com objects from Java. I stumpled upon those two very usefull sites:

• http://groovy.codehaus.org/Bridging+the+Gap+Between+Java+and+.NET+with+Groovy+and+Scriptom
• https://jdic.dev.java.net/

The first one shows how to write a COM DLL with VisualBasic, using other Com-Objects and accessing this new DLL from within Groovy and/or Java. This is something for making my Optimus Mini Three really usable from groovy/java I hope. The second one provides native functions via APIs to Java for creating IE, floating windows and retrieving system informations. Bringing this all together into an usefull application I will try

Grails resources

Hello again

This time I found a nice blog entry about Grails and an overview of must-reads and resources for developing your first grails website: http://blog.saddey.net/2008/10/11/grails-links-from-my-first-week-with-grails/

Looks worthy for a closer investigation of grails. Well, I wanted to develop my own grails site as a little private side project since summer, but I still have no time. I first need to get my infrastructure right, as my 2 1/2 year old notebook is getting buggy and slow and needs a replacemt and that needs money, which I don’t have (not even banks have money nower days…). Maybe next three month I’ll get new hardware and energy for my side projects. At least I hope so.
