A few years ago, right about the time I learned my job was to be outsourced, I remember seeing a book in the bookstore titled My Job Went to India. I assumed it was a parody of sorts and decided to resist the urge to pick it up.
It wasn’t until I read the introduction [...]
Using a custom ExceptionResolver in Spring Web Services to insert a Detail into a SoapFault.
We all have those problems that we encounter just infrequently enough that when we see them again, we know we’ve solved this, but can’t remember how.
The NonUniqueObjectException thrown when using Session.saveOrUpdate() in Hibernate is one of mine. I’ll be adding new functionality to a complex application. All my unit tests work fine. Then in testing [...]
Here’s another problem that has a simple solution that took me longer than I expected to find.
I am using Hibernate 3.2.5 as my ORM. In one case, I want to map a child collection of items as an ordered List, taking advantage of the database to do my ordering.

This is one of those problems that I couldn’t find a complete example for when I needed it, so hopefully this will save somebody else the extra time it took me to piece it together.

As fate would have it, the next issue I dealt with was adding this to my own application. What worked for me was using Spring’s UserCredentialsConnectionFactoryAdapter as my [...]
I’ve spent several days, off and on, wrestling with a chicken-and-egg configuration issue.
I have an application that uses Spring 2.0 and is deployed to Tomcat 5.5. We make heavy use of Tomcat’s JNDI for configuring things like our database connections.
We’re adding JMS functionality to our application; at this point, we merely need to send events [...]
This morning I needed to work on a long-standing ASP.NET web application project. I haven’t had to run it locally for quite a while. I updated my source from TFS, cleaned and built the solution, and started the project in debug mode. After logging in, I went to a page, and was suddenly staring at [...]
Michael Eaton asks: how did you get started in software development, and I’m answering.
How old were you when you started programming? I’m another late bloomer. I remember having access to an early edition Macintosh for a short period when I was 13 or so, but it didn’t take. I didn’t really start programming until [...]
