annotated REST Services in JPublish? Of course :)

Wed, 14 Apr 2010 02:17:21 GMT

If you want to experience with the JAX-RS specification you should try this new addition to JPublish: the JPWink module. Wink is still in incubation mode but I am using it and it is very stable. More details to follow but you can check it out right away from our code repository at Google project: browse JPwink, or download a full demo from here (approx 5.7MB)

From now on I'll use this support for more REST examples and a new jQuery integration demo. Stay tuned.

Enjoy!

jQuery, DWR and RESTLET; JPublish demo web application available

For those of you asking for examples of integrating jQuery, DWR and Rest with JPublish, I just uploaded a very simple demo at Google code, in case you're interested. This is a 5.7M file and you can get if from here: http://jpublish.googlecode.com/files/jp-jq-testing.zip

This demo is using the latest version of jQuery, DWR and it is based on the JPublish from trunk. Using RESTLET 1.1.3. All the required libraries are included in the zip file.

Should you have any question about this demo or JPublish in general, please do not hesitate to ask. Have fun!

Awesome future for the java web apps: Stax.net

I am using Heroku for my Rails apps and I am loving it, what's not to love about Heroku?! :)

But I am also a Java developer, and like many others I am crying for a decent Java hosting provider. Bright future ahead: Stax.net. Stax will probably become for Java what Heroku is for Rails, which is awesome news.

You can apply for a beta account and start playing with some of the templates available from Stax; basic servlet support, wicket, etc.

For testing purposes, I decided to try creating a JPublish based application and to host it at Stax. 10 minutes later and the app was up and running, you can see it here:

JPublish @ Stax.net (an application based on the JPublish hello app available for download at Google.)

Drop me an email in case you're interested to install your own JPublish app in the cloud at Stax, and make sure you visit their Wiki page for more Stax related details: Stax Wiki

More details to follow :)
